Q Girls' W.O.S.S.A. Team I'he W.O.S.S.A. team of 1930-31 had a very successful season and although we didn't manage to finish' Hrst in our group, the members of the team gave their best, and felt that what they got from it was worth while. The first game with Technical at South resulted in a victory for South. In the next three games played at Beck, Central and Technical, South tasted defeat although by fairly close scores. The last two games, however, were easily-Won victories and we finished in second place in the city group. The personnel of our teams last year showed some changes from the year before. We lost Lois Gidley and Mar- ion McMurtry and although we added some promising new players, they could not be expected to fill the places left vacant by these really finished players. After our league games were over, we accompanied the boys' team to St. Marys, where we played an exhibition game with the girls' team of the Col- legiate there. Imagine a South Basketball team without Hazel Cole! .Truly, hers is a unique record of achievement and service to the school. In her first year, she made the Senior team, and continued to be a member of the team, and to give freely of her boundless energy and enthusiasm for the six years she spent at South. Although she developed unusual skill and finish in her playing, she was most unseliish at all times, and sacrificed without regret opportunities to star herself for the sake of the team as a whole. During the last two years she carried the responsibility of captain, and the members of her team felt her very pres- ence on the fioor an inspiration to them. Her good judgment and lun- conquerable spirit will be sadly missed by those who are to carry on. EILEEN SMITH who was given a place on the Senior Team last year. Although Eileen is only a. beginner she has already shown real ability as a guard. Her speed and her ability to jump are two reasons for her effectiveness.

L. S. C. I. ORACLE The Gi rls' Party Every year, one evening is set aside exclusively for the feminine population of the school. On this one occasion we forget all about the otherwise ever- present boys and devote ourselves whole-heartedly to having a wonderful time at the annual Girls' Party. It always has been, always will be an evening packed with fun and laughter, but this year the party was even more than a success. Everyone seemed to be in the highest spirits and just bubbling over with a carefree happiness. To begin the programme, Margaret Trout led a sing-song, while the fresh- ettes were being dressed in a very unique style. They returned to the auditorium, giggling and excited, with their middies on back to front and hair- ribbons of every size and hue, bobbing up and down as they slipped or ran to their seats. The skits of each year were then presented in order, beginning with Second year. I think that the higher forms might well sit up and take notice when the juniors of the school can present such an amusing skit. The acting was good and characteristic of the type of people whom they were attempting to carricature. The Third year presented a pantomime both spectacular and amusing. Fourth year's Jazz Wedding was a hilarious riot. Even the actors could hardly carry on for laughing. The Fifth year skit was more serious and provided a breathing spacewhich doubtless saved many ribs from being split. When the skits were over the girls flocked to the gymnasium where a novel track-meet, arranged by Miss MacFarlane, was to take place. Each year entered contestants in each event. The events were very cleverly arranged and provided a good deal of amuse- ment. For example, the basketball throw was a contest in tossing jelly beans into a girls' mouth and the hundred yard dash was not a running race but a race in blowing a paper cone along a string. Everybody enjoyed the track meet immensely as they showed by the enthusiasm of the year yells which issued from various corners from time to time. The enthusiasm reached its height when the Third Year 91 Mustangs were declared the champion group and presented with chocolate medals specially struck for the occasion. While we were waiting for the all- important part of the programme, the refreshments, some of the girls took part in forming pyramids. Then the usual rush for weiners and rolls, dough- nuts and coffee occurred. They always taste so good at the end of the Girls' Athletic Party. When everyone had eaten all they could possibly hold, tired and happy we once more brought to a close the party which is as great a success as the girls make it and if it is never less fun than it was this year, it will always be one of the most suc- cessful social events of the year. -BETTY FRASER I A Q47 r 1 1 ,x 1, . I fi I eta: - -X . Girls' Soccer This year, a game has been intro- duced. into'the South girls' world of sport, which is entirely new to them. Indeed, until quite recently, the game of soccer was, without question, a man's sport. When the game was taken up by American and Canadian girls, certain rules were of necessity, modified and changed, so as to be suited to the physical powers of the so- called weaker sex. If it is played properly, it is, therefore, not a danger- ous game for girls. One of the simplest and most im- portant rules of the game, is that the ball must not be touched by the hands of anyone but the goal-keeper. Out of this fact arises most of the awkward- ness which rank beginners experience. Our first practices were so amusing to watch, that they could hardly becalled practices at all. No girl knew just how well or how poorly she was going to play, when she had her turn at drib- bling the ball down the field and con- ' Continued on Page 94
