Mary ' s Little Lambs” When Wednesday night rolls around, the Vocational Girls’ Gym Team, “Mary’s Little Lambs”, go in for their weekly practices. Girls of all shapes, sizes, and forms come out for these practices to help keep their “girlish ’ figures. There we tumble and do many tricks on the horse. We stand on our heads and walk on our hands. Do limbers and fish-flops and all kinds of stands. We are out at every performance too. Wearing our costumes of red and blue. Mary Liszczak, our captain, is doing everything she can to help us for a bigger and better Girls’ Gym Team. Although we are not as good as the Boys’ Gym Team, we do our very best, and our motto is: “BOTTOMS UP”. SPORTS (Continued from Preceding Page) bouncing pep of Mr. Fisher kept the girls puzz¬ led. Machine Shop teacher, Mr. Neilson, was wasting most of his energy laughing. Mr. “Sure Shot” Harrison, whose eyes wandered slightly, proved to be a tough opponent for the pretty lassies. The outfits the teachers wore were not to be scoffed at. For example, Mr. Malkin’s “Irish” green trousers, and Mr. G. B. Smith’s girdle-like sweater. One special sight to be¬ hold was the expression on Mr. Morrow’s face as he followed the ball back and forth across the floor. He actually took a shot at the bas¬ ket too. Artificial respiration was in action during the last quarter. Mr. Neilson had many acci¬ dents. Mr. “Torchy” Cowgill rebounded from the floor time and time again. After a long and hard battle, the game finally ended. Torchy” brought an oxygen tank to make sure the teachers would not go short on air. Yes, yes, a game to remember. The girls helped the weakened teachers o ' f the floor. The audience responded in a hearty clap. We all wish to extend congratulations and best wishes to the teachers and to the Girls’ Basketball Team for this courageous act. They deserve it. P.S.— Do you suppose the writer of this story will pass this year?

This season in basketball was an exciting one for the girls. At the opening game, they were defeated by the Patterson Panthers by the score of 10—4. The girls, however, were far from being discouraged. This was proven when they met the Sand¬ wich girls, for they defeated them with a score of 19—17. The game was exceptionally close all the way. Perhaps the reason they won is that on the night of this wonderful triumph, the captain of the team, Evelyn Soutar, cele¬ brated her birthday. Incidentally, this was the first time in two years that the Sandwich team tasted defeat on their own gym floor. The next game was somewhat of a let¬ down for the girls. They were defeated by the Kennedy girls. The girls played a good game, and did their best, which is the most we can expect of anyone. These lassies are not to be underrated, however, for no sooner had they won a victory over St. Joseph High School than they walked all over the Riverside girls and came up with a 27—4 win to their credit. Once again the students of Vocational School were proud of the “Girls ' Basketball Team”. Why? Because they swarmed over the Walkerville maidens and came out smiling with another victory added to their list. The final score was a beautiful 17—8. During the play-off game against the Ken¬ nedy Clippers, both teams received a great many fouls, and although our own Vocational girls actually got more baskets than Kennedy, they were not counted because of these fouls. It was a very close game all the way and the Ken¬ nedy girls finally won by the score of 11—9. A banquet was held in the honour of the “Girls ' Basketball Team” at the Norton-Palmer Hotel, on March 13. All of the team, the score- keeper and timekeeper were present at the dinner. A toast to Miss Layman, thanking her for her coaching during the year, was proposed by the captain of the team, Evelyn Soutar, in which everyone heartily joined. During the dinner a telegram was received from Miss Green congratulating the girls and wishing them an enjoyable evening, which everyone had. Not only did the girls prove themselves loyal in games against the schools, but they found a burst of super-human strength to play the so?called men teachers of the school. This was an event well worth remembering. The girls, who came onto the floor in thc : r usual lively manner, were followed by a number of deformed bodies recognized as our men teachers. (Oh, what a suit can cover up on a man!) Soon after the game started the ball was nowhere to be found. It had disappeared into the balcony in an effort to free itself from the falling teachers and laughing girls. The all- star player, Mr. “Torchy” Cowgill tried his har¬ dest to control the ball, but with no luck. The (Continued on Next Pane)
