COMMERCE ANNUAL Physical Activities A remark sometimes heard in a Gym class is, What good does this do us? This makes one think over the many things taught in a physical education period. The exercises, stunts, and games develop much more than muscular ability and skill. Exercises teach self-controlg stunts, courageg games, fair play and the ability both tt- vvin and lose with good sportsmanship. All of them teach discip- lineg discipline in the group, discipline within the individual. Trained to such self-control, girls and boys can face problems of after school life with greater confidence. L. Stirk SENIOR FOOTBALL As in other years, Grandview boys showed a keen interest in soccer football and it was not difficult to form a top-notch team. Under the able guidance cf Mr. Clarke. the team gradually rounded into shape for the season. Though they played against teams from schools which had an enrolment of boys far above that of their own, the players showed up remarkably well and gave a good account of themselves. In fact, they finished only one point behind the winners cf the league, North Vancouver, For the past two years the team has been vainly trying to capture the cup and bring it to the school. Both times they have just missed. However, the boys will be out there next year trying harder than ever to win the cup and let us hope that they will succeed in their mission.

As the senior players were not allowed to play, it gave the smaller boys a chance to show their ability. The games were held every other noon hour and were always warmly contested. This interest in the league gives ample proof of the boys interest in Soccer. All the houses were represented by a full team and often more than enough players for a team. Each house game was refereed by a senior player and one senior player was responsible for each team. The winning House was House D with House A second only l point behind. Mr. Swanson was in charge of the schedule. TABLE TENNIS The Table Tennis Club this year got off to a good start by having a tourna- ment with a team at Vancouver Technical High which they won by a score of 7 to 5. On the return tournament, Tech. defeated the Commerce team by a score of 11 to 5. Among the beginners, Jimmy Gregg anb Adam Zubac staged many a good game. The more advanced players were, Tom Nobuoka, Al Tokawa. Takeo Yamada, Shadow Nakatsuka, Toshio Okawara and Harold Ross. Mr. Abercrombie, Mr. Swanson, and Mr. Herd took a keen interest ingthe game and played many an exciting game with the boys. A tournament was held to decide the champion of the school. In this tournament were a great many good games with Jimmy Gregg meeting Shadow Nakat- suka and Harold Ross meeting Toshio Okawara in the semi-finals. The two final- ists were Shadow Nakatsuka and Harold Ross with the latter being the ultimate winner. The boss related an original joke to the various employees in the office, who all laughed uproriously-except Jones. You don't find my little joke very amusing, Mr. Jones? asked the boss omin- ously. I don't have to-I'm leaving tomorrow, came the reply.
