Havergal College Magazine Havergalians do not allow such little difficulties as an unswept rink to daunt them, and will cheerfully brandish brooms and sweep off the snow and still have enough energy to play a good game. The annual meeting to elect the captains was held on Jan. 18th. Allie Pitblado was chosen for the Boarders ' team and Bettie Mac- haffie for the Day Girls ' team. It was also unanimously carried that play should begin immediately. Jan. 25th, 1 910 — The first game of the season resulted in a win for the Boarders by 4 to 1 goals.

During the first half no goals were scored, but in the second half the girls succeeded in scoring one goal, which was quickly followed by one for the mistresses.

The girls managed to score one goal against their opponents, who were obviously too strong for them; but in spite of this, the game was a very enjoyable one, and contested to the very end. The St. John ' s team scored five ;oals, and Allie Pitblado shot Havergal ' s single score. Feb. 1 8th — Havergal v. Wellingtons. As our visitors ar- rived with two players short, it was decided to play five on each side.

Elliott E. Tupper J. Jordan H. Muldrew B. Machaffie Oct. ist — Junior team v. Boarders ' team. The Juniors were very plucky in not losing- heart against a much stronger team. The game, however, was a poor one, being spoilt by rough play on both sides. The score resulted in 19-13 goals in the Boarders ' favour. This game did not count as a championship one.

Allie Pitblado — A good captain and strong player. Always alert. Fanny Rosner — Good, but would benefit by more practice. D. Allonby — Keen player, but should practise skating, and should not gossip on the ice. M. Longbottom — A good point, but needs practice at hitting harder. B. Machaffie — A strong player, but needs to skate faster. M. Thompson — A plucky centre. (i. McGaw — Should make a very strong player. F. Burton — Very good, but should follow up the puck. N. Boynton — Would be good with more practice. E. Tupper — A good player, but needs practice in wielding the stick. Elsie Scrimes — Though a junior, she has played in many of the senior games, and acquitted herself very well and pluckily. She should learn to play her hardest on a losing side, as well as on a winning one. Marjorie Dickson — One of last year ' s team. Has not played much this season, owing to illness. Spares — K. Hinton and members of the Junior School. Dorothy Allonby, Hon. Sec. H.S.A. Form V. Upper. SNOWSHOEING Yo-ho ! Yo-ho ! We are the girls who snowshoe, you know.
