Grade XI and XII Inter-room Volleyball T HE grade eleven and twelve girls, this year, also held their yearly inter-room schedule. Led by their very capable sports captain. Arlene Burkitt, Room 11-11 girls won. Players on the team were: Arlene Burkitt, Marg Vanderhurst, Carol Brailsford, Yvonne Miller, Mardi Fulford and Pat Sinclair. These girls won because of the enthusiasm and sports¬ manship they put into their games. They went on to defeat the champion grade eleven team from St. John’s in an exciting and well played game. Grade XI aod XII Inter-room Soccer T HE boys of grades eleven and twelve experienced a very successful soccer season considering . . . . Competition was keen; hence, the scores of the games were very close. The weatherman was very cooperative; therefore, all the games were played under ideal condi¬ tions. When the rugged schedule was completed, Room XII-18 emerged champions, edging our XI-10 boys by a very slight margin. Room 18 then went on and over¬ powered X-4A to retain the High School Championship. Grade X Inter-room Volleyball T HIS year, as in previous years, the girls of grade ten had an inter-room volleyball schedule. The winners were 10-8’s team “A”, led by their capable sports captain. Pearl Wong. Players on this team were: Pearl Wong, Donna Moore, Myrna Miller, Arleen White, Pat Hamata, Leona Bingham, Audrey Mitchell and Margo Cusson. This team also played the winning grade ten team from St. John’s and although their opponents presented stiff competition, the girls were once more champs. Grade X Inter-room Soccer ' vNCE again this year, the grade tens played for inter- room soccer laurels. And once again Room 10-4A proved to be a little too strong for the other two teams. Apart from this factor, the boys enjoyed themselves and played some good soccer. Room 8 finished in second place behind 10-4A. In the School Championship game Room 4 put up a stout fight but the experienced crew from Room 18 was just too much for them. Lard Selkirk Curling League A S IN previous years the Lord Selkirk Curling League had a very exciting and successful season. The league was composed of ten rinks which played once a week. Alex Stewart’s rink which included Jim Paxton, third, Don Borys, second, and Brian Wright, lead, edged out Bill Lums- den’s team by winning eight out of nine games over Lumsden’s seven out of nine. The winners’ names have been engraved on the cup. The curling is always carried on with enthusiasm, good sportsmanship, and 100% participation. May next year’s curling league have as enjoyable a season as this one. CURLING Back Row; Brian Wright, Mr. Robertson, Don Borys. Front Row: Alex Stewart, Jim Paxton. Seniur High Basketball F OR the first time Lord Selkirk entered a high school basketball team into competition with the other Winnipeg high schools. Much praise is due Mr. Downie who gave so much of his time and effort to coach this team. Practice was started early in the fall and was carried on till the middle of winter when the schedule began. Al¬ though the team failed to win a game, the score was extremely close on a few occa¬ sions. Lord Selkirk can be proud of its team for the fine spirit and enthusiasm it displayed in all of its games. Possibly next year we will have a championship team.

DECK TENNIS MIXED VOLLEYBALL D URING the month of March, the grade ten and eleven girls participated in the Deck Tennis tourna¬ ment. The games were played in the auditorium on Thursdays during the noon hour. Each team challenged the other to try to reach top standing. The final games were played on Thursday, April 1st, and the champions were Arlene Burkitt and Yvonne Miller. Irene Shewchuk and June Fedirchyk took second place. The girls ap¬ preciated Miss Harrow’s kind cooperation. T HIS spring we tried out a new type of volleyball tournament. The series consisted of games played in double elimination. Teams were made up of three girls and three boys from grades nine, ten, eleven and twelve. Mr. Downie put much time and effort into this project, and along with Miss Harrow sacrificed many noon hours to referee these games. The winning team was Jack Frater’s and the runner-up was Judy King’s team. BOWLING SENIOR DIGD BOWLING A NOTHER outstanding bowling year at Lord Selkirk has come and gone. For those who participated, it is now but a memory. Remember when Bill Lumsden’s team, consisting of Ann Dmytriw, Don Borys, Barbara Evanchuk and Joan Pannel, won out by winning eigh¬ teen out of their eighteen games? What a record! Ed DeLaronde, one of Lord Selkirk’s star bowlers, won the high average cup for men for the second time. Ann Dmytriw captured the laurels for the highest average among the girls. For the first time, two bowling teams represented our school in the inter-rhigh bowling roll-offs. Back Row: Ed Delaronde, Bill Lumsden, Don Borys. Front Row: Ann Dmytriw, Joan Pannell.
