24 THE WHISPER The Athl die Organization The Athletic Organization is conducted by an executive appointed by the stu¬ dents. President—Arthur Seaby. Vice-Pres.—Violet Rogers. Sec.-Treas.—Marvin Faryon Representatives—Jean Boone, Isabella Thompson, Eleanor Radcliffe Kathline Hamilton, Bill Lindsay. Athletics, which occupy such an import¬ ant part in a student’s life, are eagerly planned for by all. This year the organ¬ ized method which has been used so suc¬ cessfully has been met with co-operation by the students as a whole. By this method every student is enabled to par¬ take in every sport. The great attraction of the year was Field Day, when students, good, bad or indifferent, regarding athletic ability, contested for the honors in the school in track sports. Margaret Boone won the Senior Girls’ championship and Cecelia Blackwood the Junior. Amongst the boys competition was keen, but nevertheless Allan Ross be¬ came the Senior champion and Allan Fleming the Junior. I Girls’ Sports BASKETBALL During the spring and fall basketball is the most enthusiastically played of all the girls’ games. Although we were slightly dismayed by the fact that many of our seniors had left—this was soon remedied. Both junior and senior teams were chosen and played very credibly all the season, VOLLEY BALL AND SOFTBALL Although not quite as popular as basketball, volleyball and softball are favored by a good many of the junior students and the courts are continually in use. HOCKEY Shortly after Christmas a girls’ hockey team was organized with Isabella Thompson as captain. The girls ar¬ ranged a number of practises and on Feb. 26 the Wolseley team played them— the score 6-0 in favour of our team. On March 2, a return game was arranged and again Indian Head won with a score 6-2. D. MACKAY Boys’ Sports It is difficult to say what sport is the most popular amongst the boys as there are some who play one game and others another, but at any rate it lies between baseball, hockey, football and basketball. Rugby has not been played enough to gain popularity as it is a game which certainly has to be understood before a great amount of pleasure can be derived from it. Then, too, the time spent on athletics by the boys is not sufficient to perfect a team in any game which would hold the player’s interest. To do this there must be a certain amount of hard work attached to it. You might say that some of them would not be willing to work very hard for the sake of bringing on a team, which is quite true, but it is better to have no team at all than a half-hearted one and there is a lot more to it than just getting on the team and playi ng. There would come a time when you would say “yes, it was hard work and we had to train a lot, but we had a good time just the same and I don’t think there would have been half as much to it if we hadn’t.” Of course the opportunity is not given to a great many who would like to go in

THE WHISPER a v ♦ V I — —A Sense of Rumor— - 1 ,♦ V This is but another evidence that the “old order changeth yielding place to new.” We can hardly realize that these, whom we are about to mention, constitute the “old order,” and that they have left the I.H.C. to go out into the world seek¬ ing their future. Freda and Arlene Brown, Jean Stinson, Ruby Patterson and Madeliene Radcliffe are this year going to Normal, having a position of teacher in mind. Cora McKenzie, Ruth Guild, and Patty Loveless will make successful nurses we are sure. They are training in Win¬ nipeg, Calgary and Brandon respectively. Eva Wilson, Gladys Seaby, Lucy Flem¬ ing, Jim Killer, Douglas Adair and Bea¬ trice Hamilton are all taking business courses, the former in Regina, but Bea¬ trice in Toronto. , Georgina Holden and Margaret Mc- Corkindale intend going to University next year. At present Georgina is con¬ tinuing to study music, and Margaret is working in th e Electric Light Shop. Ada Allingham, Grace Clarke, Stella Ford, Elizabeth McCorkindale, Cecil Douglas, John Thompson and Belva Howatt are making successful teachers. Ivadelle Dixon, after completing her course in Success Business College, Win¬ nipeg, is working in the Royal Bank, Regina. Jamo Conn and Jonathan Francis are making successful farmers ; the former, near Indian Head, the latter at Sedley. John Bell says he is doing fine since he left the I.H.C. and from all re¬ ports it’s true. Mollie Kennedy, John Godfrey, Jim Thompson and Howard Douglas are at¬ tending Saskatchewan University. Margaret Crawford, the winner of the 1926 Scholarship, is at present a suc¬ cessful steno in the office of the Powell Equipment Co., Winnipeg. Beth Crawford, winner of the Gov.- Gen. medal in 1926, graduates in June from Toronto General Hospital. Walter Brown, “the budding hardware clerk,” is at present employed by the Taylor Hardware Store. Dick Taylor and Edwin Bobier are working in the Royal Bank here. Bruce McKenzie in T. Eaton’s, Ernest Rogers, in General Motors, and Jim Gardner taking a course in aviation, are in Regina. And so we return, once more, to our own familiar school with just this little reminder that it’s our turn next. G. A.
