Neal, Mr. McCarthy HOCKEY TEAM The Hockey Team held practices this year at Saint Mary ' s rink on Fridays from five to six o ' clock. We were very fortunate in obtaining as coaches the experienced Messrs. McCarthy and McLellan. We were worked hard during practices, something which was needed to build a solid and aggressive team. The one hour per week practice time, however, wasn ' t quite enough to keep the team in shape. Most of our competition came from a Rockingham squad. In the first game they beat us 6-3. Our goals were made by Crace, who scored twice, and Bob Richardson, who added a single. The second game ended in a 2-2tie, with Crace and Tripp scoring. In our next game we clipped a team from Q.E.H. 5-3. Tripp got two tallies and Crace, Richardson, and Scouler scored singles. In its final game the team shut out Rockingham 3-0, the first shut-out recorded in the history of the School. The goal scorers were Piercey, Neal, and Crace. Doug Tupper, our goalie, turned in a spectacular performance. As always, it is hoped that next year will be even more successful. To make this possible, we must have more competition, better organiza- tion, and at least one additional hour of practice per week. I don ' t believe it.

REACH FOR THE TOP TEAM nd row: Douglas Tupper, Bernard Newman st row: Michael Monahan, Aidan EVans, William Price This is a ' Who am I? ' question. It ' s worth forty points if you can tell who I am from the first clue. I was born in 1966 in the mind of a CBC executive doing his part for rotten management . Being a stimulant for wit and quick recall , I have matured in three years of success and may be seen every Friday evening. Who am I? Jesting aside, the CBC ' s Reach for the Top is a commendable ef- fort to stimulate a thirst for knowledge. Into one half -hour (interrupted by three commercials) are jammed as many questions as the teams can answer. Success demands quick and correct answers on a wide range of queries from chemistry through politics to art and music recognition. The motivation of the programme is, however, competition. This is the life of the party , and the party is Canada-wide. In July regional winners will converge on St. John ' s, Newfoundland, for the Canadian cham- pionship. Though a battle ' s to fight ere the guerdon be gained. The re- ward of it all is still the goal. Thus far, we have been fortunate enough to win over Clare District High School, Musquodoboit Rural High, King ' s College School, and Wind- sor High School. Who knows. . . .? See Judy LaMarsh . ' 27

Lim SOCCER TEAM This past fall our Soccer Team gained local recognition in being accepted into the Nova Scotia High School Soccer Competition. Practices were held regularly on our own field with Mr. Keshwar as coach. It was not long before we began to feel the unity which is important to any team. Our first game, played at Saint Mary ' s, was with Halifax West. We were encouraged by our 4-0 victory. Two days later, however, Eastern Shore squeezed by us by 1-0 in a hard-fought, exciting contest. On October 8th we again met the Halifax West team and beat them 3-0. Unfortunately, on October 10th we were eliminated from further com- petition by a determined Eastern Shore team which defeated us 3-0; we just couldn ' t get the ball down the road . In addition to these Competition games, we also played two exhibition games during the season. We enjoyed a game with a School for the Blind team and won a match with Sidney Stephen of Bedford 4-1. Naturally, we are all looking fomard to an even more exciting and rewarding season next year — though we will sorely miss some of the stalwarts of Upper 4. Up the road, man! 29-
