Havergal College Magazine Notes on the Form Teams. Matriculation. Has developed several good players since taking a more active interest in the game. Upper V. Has been the mainstay of school basket-ball all the year. Deservedly the champions. Bravo, Upper V. ! Lower V. A weak team, but one which has played its games very pluckily. Shell. A very promising form that has developed several good players. Form IV. As yet very unformed though several girls show considerable promise. Upper III. These beginners haA e been very plucky, play- ing with enthusiasm and energy. They will find these games, though defeats, very useful next year. Notes on the Senior Team. Thelma Duncan, very loyal player, throws well and seldom wildly. Captains the team with judgment. Laura Agnew, a good guard. Mary Watson, style much improved; very energetic and on-the-spot, the mainstay of the centre. Josephine Anderson, a player rather new to the game, but seldom misses the ball and throws to good effect. Must guard against a tendency towards roughness. Jean Bell, very good shot and quick to think. Marian Sweeny, an untiring player, good shot, and keen throughout the game. SNOWSHOEING AND SKATING. Owing to the unpropitious weather neither sport has been indulged in to its usual extent. The rink was spasmodically appreciated by the boarders, who might have made more of their opportunities to skate. On Jan. 31st, Mr. Roland Taylor very kindly entertained several of the boarders to a tobogganning party at the Canoe Club. After a very jolly afternoon they partook of a delicious tea within the Club, and departed, tendering a hearty vote of thanks to their kind host. STAFF NEWS. Good wishes to Miss Evans, whose marriage to Mr. Graeme Stewart, of New York, will take place this summer. Mrs. Newton is now making an extended visit in Ireland. We are pleased to hear that her little daughter is a bonny baby. We were delighted to see Mrs. McNiven in March, when 70
