Without any question Room 18 2 were the pre-season favourites. With two ex-varsity players on the team, how could they lose. But Room 20 proved to be “the team to be beaten.” They beat Room 19, and 25 in handy fashion to advance into the “knock out finals.” Mean¬ while Room 18 walked over all their opponents in handy fashion. For a while it looked as if the teaching staff might walk off with the title but their bubble soon burst. Room 18 finally won the championship by playing their consecutive games in two days against the school’s three top teams. Eventually Room 18 went Basketball Championship” and came back victorious. The winner of the Grade X league was Room Congratula¬ tions to the both winners. 9nJtsA.-JijoonL (JolkijJbalL This year as in the past the league was divided into two divisions, the Grade X and Grade XI XIX. The first few games determined Rooms 19, 25 and the staff to be the three best teams. As the season progress¬ ed Room 19 “Golden Bears” ran neck and neck with the teaching staff. Room 25’s hopes were dashed when they were soundly beaten by Room 19. Next Room 18 tried their luck but they were also beaten by Room 19. The big game came when the staff played Room 19 for the school championship. Before a capacity crowd of 400 the “Golden Bears” came back from a 7 point defeat to tie and beat the teachers by a 19-15 score. Thus Room 19 captured the XI XII division while Room 26 captured the X di¬ vision. Congratulations to the win¬ ners of both divisions. 9nJtsiA,-(RnDML (Ba JudbaiL

Qwuia. (JnUsujbalL The junior girls’ volleyball team was coached this year by Miss Morton, a new-comer to Gordon Bell. The first game of the season was played against Tec-Voc, who beat out Gordon Bell, 49-40. Losing this game, Gordon was determined to win the next game, in which they beat Churchill High school, 64-45. Still determined to win, they beat out Daniel McIntyre, 44-42, but were not so fortunate in the next game in which Elmwood High won, 52-47. With a stroke of bad luck they lost to Sisler and Kelvin, also. In winding up the season, the girls defeated Grant Park High and St. John’s Tec. On behalf of the team, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Morton for all of her time and effort which she put into coaching this group of girls. SsmifA, SviIa! (JolhijhcdL This year the Senior girls’ volley¬ ball team got off to an early start around the middle of September. The first few weeks of practice were outside when the weather permitted and also at Mulvey. All of the home games were played at Mulvey because the new gym was not completed in time. Most of the league games were scheduled double-headers along with the Junior team. In their first encounter they were defeated by Tec-Voc but redeemed themselves by winning over Churchill, Kelvin and Grant Park. However, they had to concede a heart-breaking defeat to Sisler in their next game. Against Daniel MacIntyre and St. John’s the girls displayed some fine teamwork and were victorious in both contests. Unfortunately, they lost to a hard fighting Elmwood team and thus were excluded from the play-offs. On behalf of the team. I would like to thank Miss Morton for such an able coaching job with this group of girls. 59
