GIRLS ' SPORTS SENIOR INTER-HIGH VOLLEYBALL LOOP This year again Newton carried off top honors in both the Inter-High Senior Volleyball and Basketball con¬ tests. The team, as a whole, gave a fine display of co-operation and. due to their determined efforts, came through at the end of the schedule with 5 wins and 1 tie. Excellent ball¬ handling was witnessed at most of these games and all the girls deserve much credit as they played fine ball all through the season. Lesia Dow- hanyk, captain of the team, led the girls all the way and showed her volleyball ability on the floor by her continual spiking and setting up plays. Other members who showed up well were the Eichhorn sisters, Thelma Dumka, Valerie Bodnarchuk and Hilda Peiluck. Many thanks go to Miss Griffiths who, under her capable coaching, help¬ ed the girls to bring home the Volley¬ ball Championship title.

JUNIOR GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL TEAM, 1948-49 BACK ROW, left to right— Pauline Zajankowski, Virginia Squirk, Miss Griffiths, Evelyn Ros- nyk, Shirley Hoik. CENTRE ROW— Irene Shawl, Sylvia Stark, Helen Grabow- ski, Stanis Holloway, Jennie Oleski. FRONT ROW— Lil Star in, Janet Kansky, Laura Artes, Grace Bohonos, Joyce Bruhart. JUNIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Len Gzebb and Mike Skwark’s “pro¬ teges” didn’t quite fulfill their coaches’ expectations of a championship team. The team as a whole caught on to the rudiments of basketball very quickly. With few exceptions, they hadn’t had any previous experience. Another drawback was the lack of height in the players. Notwithstanding, they played a good brand of ball and we hope that next year their hope of a championship team will be realized. Thanks again to Len and Mike for their capable coaching and to Miss Griffiths for her supervision. The results of the games are as fol¬ lows: Newton 8 vs. St. Johns 21. Newton 30 vs. General Wolfe 14. Newton 16 vs. Kelvin 27. Newton 17 vs. Gordon Bell 17. Newton 17 vs. Daniel Mac 23. INTER-SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL The junior girls concluded a not- very-impressive but thoroughly en¬ joyable season of volleyball, chalking up 2 wins against 3 losses. They dis¬ played some fine volleyball with ex¬ cellent spiking by Evelyn Rosnyk and Polly Zajankowski. Miss Griffiths, who has produced many championship teams, acted as coach and manager, do¬ ing a very efficient job.
