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

26 THE WHISPER for athletic lines, but I think that there should be more enthusiasm shown to¬ wards sports by the boys than there is and has been in the past. Perhaps it is because there is lack of interest elsewhere you will say but, it seems that if the boys A Day in EXERCISE 13 : Aim:—To write a “short and sweet” ex¬ periment.
