+ +- GIRL’S ATHLETICS Compared to the last few years the girls sport ac¬ tivities have increased, much to the advantage of Ken¬ nedy Collegiate. There have been large turnouts lor the basketball and swimming teams. There has also been, on the part of the girls, a very good showing of badmin¬ ton players. Basketball Although the team wasn’t outstanding in winning games they were while playing them. The coach this year was Miss Large a most of you all know. The team appreciated her and found her to he a great help to their efforts in play. The team, captained by Dorothy Potter, included Vivian Arhen. Janet McVittie, Gladys Sutton. E dith Bor- tolloto, Muriel Tough, Rcva Soblc, Irene Corhishdale. Joyce Gentle, Alda LaLondc, Sylvia Potter and Isohel Rous home. Inter-form Basketball The girls in 9A won the Inter-form Basketball Plaque this year. Usually the Plaque ha been awarded to one of the upper forms, but this year, much to the whole school’s amazement, it was given to the Junior girls. They played all the other forms who had teams, and won. These girls have shown a lot of spunk and deserve credi for their accomplishment. The runner up w ' as 9H, by one point. Theresa McVeigh devoted most of her time refereeing the games ami seeing that the girls got practice and played other forms. She has been a magnificent help to the girls and Miss Large. Swimming Our girls this year won the City Championship. The relay teams, both Junior and Senior took first place. The Senior Diving Champion was June Spence and the Junior Diving Champion was Mary MacDonald. The swimming teams included Doreen White, June Lewis. Harriet Davidson, Joyce Gamier, Sylvia Potter, Mary Mac¬ Donald, Joan O ' Elannigan. Badminton Badminton has been introduced into the school this year. The girls have outdone themselves in attendance, especially the upper forms. Maybe if more girls from the lower forms turned out, arrangements could be made for a tournament. Remember girl the equipment is furnished—so why not benefit by the opportunity of¬ fered you. I GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Left to right: Vivian Arlein, Joyce Gentle.

Senior Basketball A senior team long lo be remembered will be this year ' s team, which in spite of continued losses of better players because of the war, managed to place third in a keenly contested league. Jack Kelly, Gus Rindl, Joe lannicello, fed Back, and Harold Parkes constituted the first team Other players included Harold Grice, Ken Jacobs, AI Barbesin. Ed Pillon. Charlie Kouvelas El so Schincariol and Lyle War¬ wick Incidentally Jack Kelly, captain of the team and Harold Parkes arc in the Navy now, The team wishes them the best of luck. Junior Basketball Mr, Beckett had at his disposal, ibis year, a group of hoys who for tiled a smooth working combination so make a line first team. These hoys were l abium Curry, captain, Bob Krol. scintillating high scorer Mike Yubas Jim llowic. and John Richards. The dose of the season found these hoys in third place: however, it is certain that next year with almost the same team hack, the championship will he in the offing. Other members of the team included: Murphy, Gal¬ braith, Voting. Kimitate, and Spurgeon. Mr, Beckett and Mr. Riggs are due no end of credit for the way in which they coached their teams and it goes without saying that the school as well as the teams thank them tor the fine work they did this year. Table-Tennis Jlds year after a long rest the old ping-pong tables, which Tommy Gordon made, were dusted off and a real championship tournament was held under the supervision of Mr. Wills. A chart was posted in the gym and the competitors played their games according to schedule. This made them personally responsible for getting their games p fayed. By the time for production of this magazine, 1 he par¬ ticipants were still contesting bitterly for the champion¬ ship. Swimming The school swimming meet was actually .something to see The hoys put oil a fine exhibition of racing and diving. Jack Kelly won the senior boys individual champion- ship with 15 points, John Coulter was right at lbs heels with 12 points. The junior hoys ' individual championship was taken bv Archie Galbraith who amassed lb points, A. Edwards was runner-up with 10 points, X 11 A took the school class championship with a total of 41 points, A duel meet was planned with Assumption College and the city meet was held on Friday, April lb. Badminton The Forum, this year, lias supplied the students with fifteen badminton ratjnets and judging from the turnout on Fridays after school, the game is one that is very popular although it is hoped that, next year, more hoys will interest themselves in this sport. The purpose of badminton is to give the student a game which he will be able to play when he leaves school. Most of the sports practised in the schools are highly organised team games which are played by a comparatively few number after graduation, therefore we are giving the student an opportunity to learn a game, that be will enjoy for many years to come.
