Girls' Junior Sports Editor: Valerie Hora. The school year 1931-32 brought again the usual sporting events for the junior girls. TRACK AND FIELD Betty Vtfalker. Helen Gardiner, Betty d'Esterre, Marion Wilson and May Murray were the girls picked out to go to the E.O.S.S.A. field meet at Qttawa on Sept. 26, 1931. At this meet our girls competed against representatives from Ottawa, Belle- ville, Cornwall and Wiiicliester. Unfor- tunately, as the weather was wet and cold, our girls were unable to gain any points. IVe wish them better luck next year. BASKETBATITL The Champions of the annual junior inter-form games were the girls of 2A. These girls played 1B girls for the Finals.,' The score was 2A-19, 1B-5. The K.C.V.I. junior basketball team consists of Mary Pyke, Annie Preston, Louise Proctor, Dina Murray, Leona Clow, Marion Russell and Vivian Kerr. These girls are all splendid players, but owing to the fact that the school was without a gym- nasium until after the New Year, the team did not do as well as last vear in the inter- school games. On Feb. 3, 1932, the team journeyed to Belleville and lost to the Belle- ville team 35-27. Later in the season they went to Brockville to plav. Here thev lost 58-5. Brockville visited Kingston on Feb. 17 and won from our girls 64-5. We anti- cipate a return game with Belleville after Faster and have high hopes of winning. HOCKEY Fvery VVednesday from 7.45 to 3.40 our hockey enthusiasts. Dorothy Cliff, Mildred Cliff, Vivian Shea, jean Stagg and Ruth McKay turned out to practice for the team. Cp to this year we have had no offer to play an outside team, but we hope to have an inter-school hockey match in the near future. The junior girls have certainly showed wonderful sporting spirit this year, and owing to the good management of Miss Cresswell, Miss Gordon and Miss Nichol, they have been able to accomplish much.

SENIOR GIRLS' BASKETBALL B. Thomson, M. VValker, M. Roberts, V. Brooks, D. Peters, l. Evans, Miss Cresswell. On the same evening, Renfrew went into the finals with K.C.V.l. by defeating Ottawa Commercial 31-24. The finals for E.O.S.S.A. were played on Saturday, Feb. 20, when Renfrew de- feated our K.C.V.l. girls 39-24. The Visit- ors were just a little faster and more ac- curate on their shots, although our girls tried hard to even the score. Our girls deserve great credit in reach- ing the finals of E.O.S.S.A. They had no gym. to practice in, until about a week after the New Year, and the league games were played very soon after that, so perhaps next year, when they start to practice at the be- ginning of the school term, they will suc- ceed in winning that great E.O.S.S.A. Championship. Miss Cresswell, Coach-A great deal of credit is due to Miss Cresswell, who looked after the team in her usual fine manner this year. She came out every afternoon after school, and gave the team many good points on basketball. Helen Pappas, Manager-Helen has had a great deal of basketball experience, and has proved a great help in encouraging our girls along. Marion Walker, CCaptainj Centre-This is Mannie's first year on our team but it 1S by no means her first year in basketball circles. She plays a very fast game of basket- ball, and is an excellent shot, Vivian Kerr, Guard- Viv is one of the girls remaining from last year's team, and has shown her usual ability in playing her posi- tion. She plays an excellent brand of basket- ball and is always just where you need her. Dorothy Peters, Guard- Dode is with us again, after playing last year on our senior team, and her experience has helped the team along greatly. She is fine on the defense and is a good all-round player. Mary Roberts, Forward-Mary is another of our last year's team, who has taken her old position of forward. She has shown her usual ability in shooting and passing. Betty Thomson, Centre - Owing to ill- health, Betty was unable to play in any of our league games. but in our exhibition games at the first of the season she worked well with the rest of the team. Ivy Evans, Guard-lvy is a new girl to the school this year, and she has proved a great help to our team. She is fine on the defensive work, and even though small, she has a way of getting in on those tricky plays. Vyola Brooks, Guard- Vi came to us after playing on the Ottawa Glebe team. She can play any position on the floor, but us- ually plays defence. She is a good passer and a sure shot. Dorothy Mooney, Forward - Dorothy came up to the senior team from the Junior team of last year, and she is surely showing what she can do in the line of basketball. Mary Pyke, Forward-Mary came up from the Junior team in our last games to play for- ward for the senior team, and she certainly helped our team along with her shooting and team-play. ..77..

,-1 - 6 KINGJTON COLLEGIATE vocATloNAl. INSTITUTE GIRLS' TENNIS TOURNAMENT Through the kindness of the Kingston Tennis Club, who allowed the K.C.V.I. to use their courts, the school held their first tennis tournament, and it proved very suc- cessful. There were over twenty entries, and the games were very interesting. Edith Grant, Blossom VVillets, Mary Roberts and Lorraine Robertson reached the semi-finals, and in the finals, Mary Roberts took the Girls' Championship by defeating Edith Grant C7-53, C6-33. This is the first time the K.C.V.I. has been able to hold such a tournament, and it is hoped that it will be- come an annual affair. MUSICAL FESTIVAL In the recent Competitive Musical Festi- val, sponsored by the Kingston Art and Music Club, held o-n March the sixteenth, K.C.V.I. pupils had the honour of winning several prizes. The first prize for pianists under sixteen years of age was won by George Lilley. The second prize in this competition was won by Dorothy Cliff. The prize for violin playing by those under fifteen years was won by Phyllis Gummer. Jn gllllemuriam It is with great regret that we re- cord the untimely death of one of our first-form students, Joseph Greenlees, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Greenlees. Although in his early years aloe had suffered considerable ill-health, he had, more recently, been quite well, and was quickly developing into a promising athlete and a cap- able student. During his one term in the technical section of K.C.V.l., -Toe won the high respect of his teachers and the warm affection of his fellow-students. He died on March llth, 1932, after an illness lasting several weeks. News of his passing was received with grief by everyone. , oRcHEsTRA Back Row-G. Ball, S. Mulkerns, H. Singleton, S. Laturney, L.
