Runner in Australia Continued from page 73 obtained honours in practically all his subjects. In fact he has always put his school work first in his programme. In student organizations he has been elected to some ofiice each year and has worked faith- fully in the various extra-curri- cular activities. His ability as a leader was recognized this year by his elevation to the highest honour in the school- that of President of the Stu- dents' Council. Terry's friends are legion. No pupil in the school greets and calls by name more of his fel- low-students than does Terry. He is also popular with the teachersg they recognize in him a young man who is never any- thing but a gentlemen. For these reasons, the honours bestowed on Terry by staff and students were spontaneous. The great ovation in the auditorium on the morning of Sept.'19, by the Mayor and city officials, the Board of Education, representa- tives of athletic organizations, staff and students was a tribute to a young man who was to be an ambassador of good-will from London and Canada to Aus- tralia. The presentation of travelling bags by staff and stu- dents, the presentation of a fitted case by the city council, and the addresses were unanim- ous in paying tribute to a young gentleman with a definite pur- pose in life. Further honours were con- ferred on Terry on the evening of Sept. 22nd, when several hundred of his fellow-students and friends organized a gay- coloured motor parade going from the Collegiate to his home. After Terry joined the parade TI-IE REVIEW TERRY FERRIS it proceeded through the main part of the city to the C. P. R. depot where an enthusiastic crowd gave yells, cheers and school songs. The last thing Terry did before setting out on his long journey was characteris- tic of him. He brought the other members of the Canadian Schcolboys' Team to the pull- man platform, introduced them and shared with them the ova- tion from the big crowd. May his trip to Australia, the opal-hearted country, prove a rich reward for his per- severing effort. LATE NEWS FLASH As the Magazine is going to press we have received the fol- lowing news of Terry's success in Australia. We congratulate Mr. Terry Ferris on being a close third in the 880 yards race, and also on leading the Canadians in the mile event, being in fifth place. Congratulations are due also to the entire Canadian team, which won eight first, three second, and four third places in the eleven events. VVe wish Terry and the rest of the team every success for the meet in New Zealand. 81 Girls' Year Basketball Team Pro- duced Snappy Players It was just one short year ago that we congratulated the First Year team upon their splendid showing in basketball although they weren't the winners. It was just one year ago that we wished another team lots of luck and hoped that they would even surpass the fine example set previously. And they didn't disappoint us! On December the 9th and l0th, 1933,the tournament was held at Beck. Central first played against Beck, when Beck bowed to our team with a 19-11 score. The final game played the next afternoon, between the two winners of the p r e l i m inary games, Teck and Central, was without doubt, one of the most exciting games witnessed for some time. At three-quarter time the score stood 18-all. From then to the end of the game the players kept the sup- porters on their feet. But after a hard-fought last quarter Tech merged as victors, 24-18. Central's speedy team de- serves much credit and par- ticularly Miss Henderson who so capably coached it. T h i s team produced some snappy players who will no doubt be of great assistance to the senior team this year. Those making up the team were:- Forwards - jean Crawford Ccapt.Dg Isabel Nevin, Dorothy Dowling, Margaret MacQueen, Marian Greene, Verna McQuig- gan, Louisa Everitt, Madeline Demas, Molly Smythe. Guards - Dorothy Peters, Dorothy Grant, Barbara Kerri- gan, jean Robertson, Helen Burnett, Dorothy Lockhead, Natalie Pope, Hilda Haywood. , , i , ? f l FIRST YEAR BASKETBALL TEAM SECOND YEAR BASKETBALL TEAM Sitting Cleft to right!-Margaret MacQueen, Isabel Nevin, jane Robertson, , , Dorothy Dowling.

80 THE REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT GIRLS This year the girls' tennis tournament was played off in the latter part of September and the first part of October. On the days chosen for the games the weather was, for the most part, ideal. For some years past the tennis entry has been very small but this year it was unusually so. However, the fewness of the contestants served to make the competition keener. O n l y eight girls originally entered and two rounds brought Miss Chris- tine Bell and Miss Kay Probyn into the finals. The final game was played off after four o'clock on October 9th, Miss Christine Bell was successful in defeating Miss Kay Probyn with a score of 6-4, 6-3. VVe can only hope that next year's tournament will be as successful as that of this year. At least an equal success would be assured if only more girls would compete. BOYS This year's tennis tournament was perhaps the most success- ful Central has ever had. The interest was exceptionally keen in both the boys' and girls' match- es. The entries were numerous and all contestants were of good tennis calibre. As in other years the finest sportsmanship was displayed. In the boys' match a keen struggle Was witnessed from the first round to the final match. The four boys who succeeded in reaching the semi-finals were Abe Grace, Dick Marvell, Tom Hardy, Dudley Thompson. In the first match of the semi-finals Marvell proved superior to Grace and won in straight sets. In the other match Thompson defeated Hardy after a very hard and long fight. In the final match Marvell defeated Thompson in straight sets 6-2, 6-1. The new champion is worthy of the title and we congratulate him on his success. SECOND YEAR GIRLS' TEAM MET WITH HARD LUCK This year the second year team fought hard, but Fate seemed to be always against them. The tournament took place at Beck Collegiate on December Sth and 9th. On Friday, December Sth, at 7.30 p.m., the South and Cen- tral teams met, making a score of 23 for South and 18 for Cen- tral. This, being a very close game, showed not only ability for but also much interest in basketball. On Saturday afternoon the two losing teams of the previous evening's games, Beck and Cen- tral, met each other and showed great enthusiasim, but Central was again loser by a score of 14 to 4. The crowd who assembled for these tournament games, kept the players' spirits high by a loud school cheer every few minutes. Although our team lost this year, we hope they will come out on top in this coming season with success in every game. The forwards:-Ariel Swartz Ccaptjg Margaret Clark, Betty Birch, Maxine Ward. The Guards-Beth Farnham, Ann Little, Carol P h e l p s , Dorothy Warrington. , TENNIS FINALISTS - Back Row-Dudley Thompson. Dick Marvell. Front Row- Miss Henderson, Kay Probyn, Christine Bell, Mr. Cameron. 1934 TRACK SUCCESSES Our inspired juveniles again showed us the way to honours in the annual Wossa Track Meet held at the University of Western Ontario Stadium on Saturday, May 19th, 1934. A great deal is expected of these juveniles in years to come, as they certainly made a splendid showing. Having trained seri- ously all spring, they were in the pink of condition, and practically walked away with the Juvenile Championship. The Juvenile team, consisting of Floyd Brown, Bill Wong, Jeff Miller and George Der Stepanian won, and set up a new record in the relay race of 1-5 of a second higher than the former. Billy Wong, the juvenile individual champion of Wossa, won the high jump, coming within half an inch of the Wossa record. He also placed in the 75 yard dash, and won the juvenile broad jump. This is the second year the Juveniles have won the championship, and they cer- tainly seem to be headed for a third championship next year. Among the Juniors Central was represented solely by Dick Edgecomb, who made a credit- able showing in the Medley Relay, and in the Junior Sprints and High Jump. The Intermediates, led by Harry Pope, well-known in track work at Central, were unsuccess- ful in carrying off any honours, excluding the marvelous show- ing made by Harry Pope him- self in the 120 yard low hurdles, coming, as he did, second only to Harold Jackson, of Windsor. Bringing up the rearguarcl of the Intermediates, Worth Chisolm, Jack Laughton, Stew Spofford and Jack Guthrie made a creditable showing of them- selves, the competition being rather keen. It was regretted that jack Bower, one of the best Intermediate prospects, caught an infection in one leg, and was unable to compete in Wossa. In the Seniors, Terry Ferris THE SKATIN G PARTY On Friday, March 16, Central held her first Skating Party at the Arena. The party began at 8 o'clock sharp with a lively hockey game between the Junior and Senior teams. The Seniors won after a stiff fight by a score of , 3-1, although lacking the services of Jim Bell. Between halves a broom-ball game was staged between aspiring hockey stars of the first and second year. The excitement aroused by the game foreign to at least most of us was capped only by the wild enthusiasm for a similar game later in the evening. At the end of the Junior- Senior game the students lined up for a grand-march led by Mr. and Mrs. Miller. While we were getting into place under Mr. Entwistle's direction. Jean Lawson and Christine Bell in simple white costumes gave an excellent exhibition of fancy skating. Since the teachers were pres- ent in full force, it was decided to have a hockey game between them using a basketball in place of a puck. Sticks were dis- tributed among the staff, al- though it happened that the hands were more generally used from a sitting position on the ice. The teachers were grouped under Mr. Miller and Mr. john- son and after much puffing Mr. Miller's side was victorious. The skating was then resumed for a short while with fieet- footed enthusiasm until the party finally broke up at 10.30. The amusements provided by the lst year students and a com- mittee of teachers were excellent and enjoyed by all. We hope they'll organize another such party next year. was again away to another new half mile victory, also breaking the former record by 2-5 of a second. He literally ran away with it, and has been rewarded, as we all know, by a trip to Australia. Other Seniors com- peting unsuccessfully were, Ed. Jeffrey and Ted Clugston.
