26 VOLLEYBALL By Gertrude Manners 9-13 This year has really been a volleyball year! Because of the polio epidemic no inter-school tournament was held in the fall. However, volleyball was not forgotten entirely. The inter-room games proved very successful and a lot of fun. The classes came to cheer their teams and the teachers got as excited as the students, Muriel Falconer ' s team won Grade 9 round. Joan Mestaga ' s team (Room 8) took the lead in the Grade 8 ' s, while the girls from Room 15 won over the Grade 7 1 s, The Grade 9-13 boys (Goons) took a shine to the girls (Loons) in their class and challenged them to a game. The girls (being good sports) took them up on it, and lost by an embarassing score of 71 to 17. A second game was ' played against the school team and a sad day that was-the girls lost again. The score? 42 to 12. Oh welll The boys were just too good at spiking! The Room 8 girls were really on their toes and nearly won a game with the teachers. At half-time the score was 20 to 15 for the girls. It was then that the teaehers got their heads together and decided they had better win. They did - 33 to 30. Close game girls. On November 27th the Chinese boys played the men teachers. This was a fast ' and close game and kept Mrs. Graham busy at her job of refereeing. The score ended up 25 to 24 for the teachers. On December 17th (as a breather from exams) the Grade 9 girls played the teachers. The teachers came out on top again 31 to 27. All in all it’s been a good year of volleyball. Better luck next year ' kids , SENIOR BASKETBALL F DIA LS By Alex Shkut In Senior basketball, Hugh John Macdonald won their division, losing only one game all season. They entered the City Finals against Isaac Newton School in a two game total points series. The Isaac Newton team was much bigger, but our boys played wonderfully. In the first game, though, we lost 37 to 33, the boys made a great effort and kept fighting all the way. The game was played at Weston School. The second game was played at Inkster School. This game was a thriller, and in the last half of the game the fans were on the edge of their seats. Our team played harder than ever and won the game 23 to 22, but Isaac Newton won the two game aeries 59 to 56. This came as a great shock, and it was a very close game. Though the Senior team lost, we are very proud of them. We wish to congratulate the following boys: Don Wong Henry KLassen Sam Cascisa Bob Sweet David Crozier Bill Goodine Henry Chang Jerry Browsky Albert Bartnik David McBride Lome Huff Coach: Mr. D. Mutchmor
