| BOYS’ ATHLETICS Kennedy teams playing under the name of “Clippers” were quite successful in the field of sport. Two cham¬ pionship s were won in Football, while the Hockey and Basketball teams, though not quite so successful, won respect and admiration from their opponents and fol¬ lowers. Senior Football 1 he Kennedy Senior Football Team coached bjjr Mr. Wills, was extremely successful this year. Led by Gerald Duck, Jack Hobbs, Bob Callen, and Darwell Tisdale who were chosen as members oi the all-city team, the Clippers finished the season in a tie for first place. In the play¬ offs our boys eliminated Patterson, due largely to a spectacular run by Walter Zybura; then the boys met Vocational for the championship. In a close, hard- fought game our boys again emerged victorious. Thus the first city championship of the year was brought to Kennedy. Junior Football Once again our Junior Football team went through an undefeated season. This makes the third consecutive year that our Juniors, under the able coaching of Mr. Chapman, have won the city championship without a single defeat. After finishing first in the league the Juniors eliminated Sandwich and Vocational to win the previously mentioned title. Ted Mallender, Tommy Barton. Jim Murphy and Captain “Gabby” Granziol were the main cogs in the extremely successful season. Because of the war neither of these two football teams was able to travel out of the city in quest of further laurels. However it is certain that if they had been able to travel, more trophies would have been added. Senior Hockey The senior hockey team had a fairly successful season this year. The team played fine hockey throughout the season and ended up in second place. In the play-offs our boys were eliminated, in a sudden death game with Assumption, by one goal. Jack Hobbs, Eric Tanner and Ken Young led the team to victory in most of the games. Other members of the team were—Lancaster, Wallace, Macpherson, Edgar. Abilgaard. Jones, Duck, and Gray. Poor support from the student body, even though public skating was offered after the games, hampered this team greatly. Junior Hockey The Junior hockey team managed to reach the play¬ offs but were eliminated in the semi-final round by Vocational. H. Hobbs, Borton. and Coulson were the mainstays of this team. Other players were Curok. Cape, Cates, Odierna, DeLorcnzic, Hunter, Beadow, and War¬ wick. Both of these hockev teams were ably coached by Mr. Wills. Senior Basketball At the beginning of the year Mr. Chapman announced that he would be unable to coach the basketball teams. This was a serious loss. However, Mr. Riggs volun¬ teered to take over the coaching duties and did extremely well. They finished the season in third place and throughout the year played some excellent games. Mr. Riggs built his team around such seasoned performers as Duck, Gallcu, Patterson, and Adams. The remainder of the team included Hobbs, Saccaro, Long, Zybura, Perlman, and Martyniok. In the play-offs this fine team was eliminated by Assumption. Darwell Tisdale was greatly missed when he left for the air force shortly after the season began. Congratulations to Tickie Duck and Gil Patterson who were named on the All-City Basketball Team. Junior Basketball Mr. Beckett was the man chosen to coach the junior basketball team this year. Like Mr. Riggs he did an excellent job. The team went through the season with a fine record. They managed to hold first place through¬ out the regular schedule. Luck was against them in the play-offs. In a two-game total-point series with Pat¬ terson the boys lost out by six points. Sovran, Granziol and Barton were the stars of the team. In the remainder of the squad were Jacknow, Kelly, Lachoski, Parkes, Stratton, Bcttany, and Bickhart. You may have noticed that every one of these teams managed to reach the play-offs. We hope the remainder of our teams for this year will be as successful. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS ♦ T T lr ii t . . — .— ’4 Basketball This year showed a marked improvement in the Girls ' Basket ball Team. A result of four points put them in third place instead of last year ' s fourth. We feel confi¬ dent that if all goes well, they will do even better next year. The training was interrupted by the resignation of Miss Grace Hamilton and resulting lack of a good coach. However the new coach proved to be just the person the girls needed to help them. Along with the assistance of the newly-elected captain. Jean Hogarth, Miss Doris Weston whipped the girls into good condi¬ tion for the scheduled games. Prominent on this year’s team were as forwards—Jean Hogarth, Colleen Gallen, Dorothy Little, Kdythe Daynes. Betty Borge, and Jean Ktnnin. As guards—Betty Coulson, Dolores Johnson, Vivien Arlien, and Shirley Coleman. Tennis The new tennis courts have proved a great attraction to the girls this year. A tournament was held early in the year for which the undisputed champion was Jean Back. Swimming The swimming meet will be coming along soon now. Miss YVeston has held weekly classes after four o’clock for swimming and also life-saving. We should have plenty of entries and will expect a good performance from June Lewis, Jessie Duck. Jane Martin, June Spence, and Elizabeth Anderson who proved their ability last year. Baseball Soon all the girls will have tryouts for the Baseball team. The games will be held after four o ' clock on the various school campuses. Come out and support your team!

12 THE KENCOLL 1941 . ...imummim.... SCHOOL ACTIVITIES -—---- - - H Now is an ideal time to urge the students of the Kennedy Collegiate to participate in the various active groups which are functioning in the school. Inquire about these clubs, find out what they do, then join at least one and enjoy the experience of actually doing something with your own fellow students, for your own school. The following brief summaries may help you decide in which group you could become the most interested and do the best work. Kennedy Kamera Klub This club, as usual, is having a busy and successful year. Under the able guidance of Mr. Thompson the club has progressed rapidly and has learned that all pictures don’t originate in drug stores. Mr. Brown is to be complimented for his excellent lectures on colour work, and the club thanks Mr. Gilbert for his interest in the progress of its members. The well-equipped school darkroom is in constant use and some creditable work is being turned out. As most of you know, The Kamera Klub docs its own developing, printing and enlarging—some of this work can be seen on other pages of this magazine. A cordial welcome is extended to any student to attend the meetings of this club or join it if they care to. Because we realize that, from ninth grade to fifth form, photography is an extremely popular hobby, we expect this club to continue its progress for years to come. St. John Ambulance Corps To the girl who wishes to become a nurse no club could be more interesting than this organization of about twenty girls, formed under the leadership of Mrs. Sills. At present St. John First Aid is being studied and a Home Nursing Course will follow ' soon. The officers this year are Claire Hicks, president, and Beverly Gould, secretary-treasurer. The goal of the members of this club is to obtain a certificate which will be presented to them at the end of the First Aid Course. Altiora Peto Society To some students of Kennedy this society is unfor¬ tunately a rather obscure one. It has, how ' ever. an im¬ portant position in the school. This club governs most of the advertising in the school, supervises the making of posters, and writes those bulletins you see sometimes on the classroom blackboards. The sale of school pins and rings also comes under the jurisdiction of this com¬ mittee. Our whole-hearted thanks should be given to those students who w r ork so generously to make this club a smooth-running and efficient society . Kennedy Glee Club Three cheers for Mr. Wass and those accomplished songsters W ' ho have so admirably made our Kennedy Glee Club a successful and worthy organization! The Club this year has a rather peculiar history. It com¬ menced in October with about thirty girls and ten boys but. strangely enough, the boys gradually dropped out. More girls were then brought in until about fifty began to prepare the music for the annual Music Festival. Tlie student body sincerely appreciates the Glee Club and thanks this organization for so ably representing our school. The Literary Society The Literary Society was formed at the first meeting of the Forum in October. The members include Jean Back. Dorothy McEw an, Rodd Ross and Arthur Pearce. At the first meeting of the Society held soon after its formation it w as decided to inaugurate a new system of literal y programs for the year. To begin the season a pro¬ gram was given presenting the life story and background of the lovely Stephen Foster melodies. This program was followed by a Christmas party in which Santa Claus, in the personage of George Edwards, distributed presents to some of the students. Since the new year there have been two literary pro¬ grams. One was a “Pageant of Canada” presented by first and second forms under the direction of Miss Bondy and Mrs. Hagarty. A one-act comic play—Rococo— has been presented by the members of the third and tourth forms under the supervision of Mr. Walter. 1 he Literary Society owes a debt of gratitude to Miss Dorothy Janes for the active part she has taken in planning all programs throughout the year. The Christian Fellowship Group The Christian Fellowship Group meets each Tuesday noon from twelve-thirty to one o’clock in room 214. It is one ot eight in Secondary schools of Windsor. In November a rally of all the Groups was held in Patterson Auditorium, at which an address was given by M r. W ood of Toronto, who is General Secretary of Fellowship Groups in North America. Parents and triends were invited to this meeting. Early in March a “get-together” of the Groups took place in the Gordon McGregor School Gymnasium at which a basketball game was played between the boys of the eastern and western Groups. A short talk was given by Mr. Reaunie of Detroit and a sing-song and a orial time were enjoyed. Later a “squash” was held for all Groups at the home of one of the members, and sixty students met for discussion and Bible study under Mr. Bier, a secretary of the Association from Western Canada. AU the students are invited to attend our Tuesday meet¬ ing, and further their interest in Bible Study and Chris¬ tian living. Dramatics Shakespeare terms such a course “the primrose w’ay to the everlasting bonfire”. A. A. Milne calls it ‘‘The Dover Road”! ' I his play, packed with amusing situations, witty re¬ partee and adult wisdom and tolly was presented by the Kennedy Collegiate Dramatic Society in the auditorium of the Victoria Public School on the evenings of March the 6th and 7th. It is a sophisticated play. The audience, both student and adult, enjoyed every minute of it. Miss Dorothy Hope, who deserves great credit for an artistic and finished production, was fortunate in having such a uniformly talented cast as the following: Art Lampkoyitz, Roy Lawrie, Alex Newell, Gladys Sutton, Mary Weidinger, Art Pearce. Phyllis Lavery’ Roderick Ross. John Mills, Virginia DcLaurier. The Dramatic Society wishes to thank the following lor many and varied services and courtesies: Mr. Peter Tinning, Mr. McCreery, Miss Lena Farrell of the Theatre Guild, Miss Yvonne Gignac, Mr. Gordon and his assist¬ ants. Cecil Fletcher. Cecil Hunter, George Edwards, and George Wilkinson: Mr. Riggs and his assistants, Victor Huszty and Ted Mallender; Norma Zamparo, and also Patricia Phipps and Alex Gray for their appealing pre¬ sentation of the curtain-raiser, “The Babes in the Woods”. Kennedy Collegiate Orchestra The K.C.l. orchestra of this year under the capable leadership of Mr. Mervin Wass, and assisted by Jack Jewell, president of the orchestra, has developed into one of the school’s leading activities. This was shown when the orchestra took part in the annual “Music Festival” and made such a splendid showing. The orchestra also shovved its musical ability while playing for the school commencement, play, assemblies, and literary meetings. It ? s too bad we did not hear a little more from Bruce Chick and his clarinet, but we will have him again later. The students that comprised the orchestra this year W ' ere— BASS—Raymond Parsons. SAXOPHONES—Jack Gordon, Bill Colledgc, Ellen Balman, Janies Garret. PIANO—Lenore Baker. ACCORDIONS—Bob Newman, Bob Whyte. I Rl MPETS—James Smith, Jack Jew r ell, Steve Frei- senger.
