+ +- 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.

It lost two members to the Air Force, however, clarinetist Bruce Chick, and trumpeter Doug English. The orchestra assisted at the Commencement, and at several assemblies. Unfortunately there was no Annual Play and no Secondary School Music Festival, which have always been a part of the Orchestra’s curriculum for the year. Kennedy has always made a splendid show¬ ing at the Festival. Mr. Wass would like to see an increase next year in the complement of the orchestra. Don’t be afraid music lovers of K. C 1.
