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.

GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL 21 BOYS SPORTS Rugby T HE Gordon Bell Rugby team set out in their second year of inter-high competition under the capable coaching of Harry Young. Although the team went through the entire season without a victory, they won the admiration and respect of their opponents because of the true sportsmanlike manner in which they accepted defeat. Disheartened by the ill-luck which dogged their footsteps, and by the great ' handicap usually experienced by a light team, they never ceased trying. They were aptly described by the local newspapers as the hard-luck team of the league, as they lost more than one game by last-minute, one- point plays. The team journeyed to Kenora this year, to play the Kenora High School’s Rugby squad. Like true amateurs, they paid their own way. They were cordially received by the Kenora students, who entertained them royally. A large crowd of spectators saw Gordon Bell defeat Kenora by the score of 5 to nil, in a game as fast as could be expected under the rigor¬ ous conditions prevailing. Thus, the first contact was made between Kenora and Winnipeg high schools. Here’s hoping that Gordon Bell will produce in the future as fine a band of sports as this 1933 rugby squad. Deserving of special comment are the following members of the team: Les. Steadman—(Captain) “steady” blocking half. Fine tackier. Bill Edmonson—Smooth-working quarter-back. Doug. Trott—-Slippery-hipped half-back—only member to make the All-Star team. Norman Christie—Deadly tackier at blocking-half. Fred Wood—“Stone-wall” type.
