shot. She was noted for her screening and trotting around the court wearing out her opponent. PAT LAWSON was another one of valuable forwards who did a splendid job She OLII' of scoring many points for our team. rarely got a foul, and her long shots usually landed in the basket4surprising many of the players on the opposing team. LILLIAN FIOR played the position of right forward. Each game proved a contest to see who would be top scorer, she or Lorna. Lillian always provided plenty of humor as she always seemed to be lying on the floor. LORNA STEVENSON was our very cap- able captain and our best forward. Although petite, she usually managed to get between the opponent's guards to get some baskets. BARBARA THOMAS played a good game of guarding for our team. She is a good sport both on and off the court. GAIL DITCHFIELD was an obstacle to every opposing team. She was one of our best hard-fighting guards. JAYNE HAWKINS was another one of our capable guards. On many occasions Jayne was able to stop the opponent's for- wards, but the result seemed always to be a foul. ELIZABETH DEMOLDER was one of our first string guards. By height and consisten- cy she kept the ball from her forward and this is one of the reasons why we won our games. BARBARA KUHN was another one of our good guards. Barb managed to keep the opponents away from the basket without getting very many fouls. ELIZABETH SMITH was our petite guard. She often confused the opponent by sneak- ing up and tying the ball. Betsy could play forward also and in that capacity was very efficient. MISS KEITH was our Coach. We, the team, would like to thank her for the time and effort she spent with us to shape up into the team we were. Without her, we wouldn't have done as well. Thanks again, Miss Keith. G.C.V.I.

K M .ACTA NOSTRA I25 The season started rather poorly with losses to Notre Dame and Galt, but this may have been because both games were played away from home. We defeated John F. Ross on their own floor and finished the season with wins against Galt and John Ross in the G.C.V.I. gym. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. King on behalf of the team. She gave up a great deal of time and we all enjoyed having her as our coach. -Susan Leitch XID GIRL S' SENIOR INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL This year's winner of the girls' basketball was XIIC, which had a very strong team and were undefeated throughout the sched- ule.

Play continued for three weeks, with matches played at noon and after school. The four girls who reached the semi-finals were Carol Anne Wood, Pat Howden, Lorna Stevenson and Joanne Ken- nedy. After excellent play, Carol Ann de- feated Pat, and Lorna defeated Joanne. The finals between Lorna and Carol Anne were played on April 17. Carol Anne won the first game by a score of 11-1 and the second by 11-6. Thus, the 1957 winner of the Patricia Wat- kins Memorial Trophy was Carol Anne Wood, with Lorna Stevenson the runner-up.
