Girls ' Senior Volleyball The Senior Volleyball team did not make out as well as the Juniors. Every game was very exciting and, although successful in winning only two, each girl did her best and was a credit to the school. Isaac Newton proved to be the outstanding team and certainly deserves the honor. Many thanks are due to Douglass Small, who gave up much of his time to coach the girls, and we are sure that it was through no fault of his that more games were not won. Miss King also deserves many thanks for organizing a club, getting many girls interested and giving much of her time. Girls ' Junior Volleyball The Junior Volleyball games this year turned out very well for the girls, and everyone was satisfied with having done her best. The girls were victorious in every game except the two played against Daniel McIntyre They were hard games and a treat to watch as well as to play. The girls wish to convey their thanks to Douglas Small for his splendid coaching. We are certain that through his able efforts we were placed a close second to Daniel McIntyre. Also many thanks are due Miss King for the time and the help and encouragement she gave.

Insets—Jack Ross and Allan Simm (Coaches). Girls ' Basketball The girls’ basketball team, captained by Doris Perry, the able centre, brought great honor to the school this year. The two games played against Kelvin were the most exciting, with keen competition throughout both games. Gordon Bell, we are sorry to say, lost both. The scores were 13-12 and 15-14, so you may well imagine that they were closely contested and afforded excitement to the spectators right to the finish. The girls hope to win out next year and I am sure we wish them the best of luck. We wish to thank our coaches, Jack Ross and Allan Simm. These boys do not go to our school and gave up much of their valuable time to come to the school and coach the girls. We also thank Miss Craven for the oranges she supplied to quench our thirst during the games and for her encouragement by at¬ tending every practice and game.

GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL 19 Inter-Room Volleyball Congratulations to Rooms 23 and 21 who together won, although not easily, the coveted title of winners of the school Inter-Room V olleyball schedule. Each and every game was exciting, and these rooms deserve their victory. The games were played at the beginning of the school term, but we are sure most enthusiasts can still remember them. Again congratulations! Inter-Room Basketball Once again Rooms 23 and 21 carried off the honors, by emerging victorious from the hard-fought Inter-Room Basketball schedule. The games were enjoyed by both players and spectators, as they were very closely contested. However, most of the runners-up proved ill-fated and were eventually defeated by Rooms 21 and 23. Better luck next year when these worthy opponents are not with us! Girls ' Field Day Inter-room Field Day was held May 7th at Wesley Park. It was a lovely day and everyone turned out to make it a great success. The events were run off according to schedule. The hurdles and high jump were held in the school ground. Room 6 made 32 points with Room 21 coming second with 24 Vi points. The individual events were as follows: HIGH JUMP BALL THROW 75-YARD DASH A. Pauline Richards A. Betty Tomlinson A.
