Havergal College Magazine Scrimes made several very neat rushes, but failed to score. Maisie Longbottom at point made a good defence. COMMENTS ON PLAYERS. 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.

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. The line-up was as follows : Boarders. goal point coverpoint F. Rosner D. Allonby M. Longbottom M. Thompson A. Pitblado F. Burton E. Scrimes Feb. 8th A centre rover left wing right wing Day Girls. N. Boynton D. Merrick G. McGaw M. Dickson B. Machaffie E. T upper K. H in ton A very fast game was played between the mis- tresses and boarders. 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. Play con- tinued very briskly to the end, the girls only succeeding in getting one more goal, which left the score 2-1 in favour of the girls. The line-up was as follows : Boarders. F. Rosner M. Longbottom D. Allonby M. Thompson A. Pitblado F. Burton E. Scrimes 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. The advantage was decidedly in favour of the college team, who secured four goals to the Wellington ' s one. Alue Pitblado and Margaret Thompson shot the goals for the college, and Elsie 55

Havergal College Magazine The woods at River Park and City Park have frequently rung with our merry snowshoe songs this winter. We owe a lasting debt of gratitude to Miss Adams and Miss Springate for forming the Excelsior Club three seasons ago — since when it has become a deservedly popular institution. We shall very much miss the President, Miss Adams, who has lately left us to be married, when we take our snowshoes out from their summer retreat next season. Besides the excursion to Deer Lodge, which is described else- where, there was a particularly enjoyable tramp to River Park, when the following photographs were taken and our favourite tramping songs, We went to the animal fair and Sweetly sings, made the echoes resound. Sweetly sings the donkey As he goes to hay ; If you don ' t sing with him He ' s sure to run aw r ay. Yo-ho ! Yo-hi ! Yo-ho-yo-hi-yo-hay ! The Snow-shoe Express A mile a minute ! Presidents Past and Present of the Excelsior Snow-shoe Club SNOWSHOE TRAMP TO DEER LODGE We knew a few days before of our snowshoe tramp to Deer Lodge, and we were all looking forward to it with a great, deal of pleasure. The eventful day arrived, clear and cold, and we were all
