25th Anniversary Edition Girls’ Sports Interform Basketball— MARY SEKELA and SHIRLEY QUEEN C3A. In the Junior Interform Basketball and Volleyball, Lois Bema d led her TlA team to victory over all f ; rst forms. They remained almost undefeated for the whole season. Considering that this was their first year to plav High School Basketball, they did particularly well. VC’hile they were busy scoring victories, the second form, C2A. led by Tanya Andruck, came through with flying colours, taking top honours in the Intermediate Bas¬ ketball. The senior girls, C3A, three girls of whom are on the Senior Girls Basketball Team, namely Julia Pillar, Annie Pa lech, and Shirley Queen, rose to top honours, remaining undefeated throughout the year. This team was led to vic¬ tory over all thirds and fourths by Betty Gazo. All the teams were in excellent form and the games presented were very lively. A special assembly was called, at which time Mr. Ross presented crests to the individual players on the winning teams who were very proud of the honour presented them. What Is It?— • The 17th of March was a day to remember. On this day our (so-called) men teachers of the school defeated our gallant lassies. The girls came onto the floor in single file as lively as puppies while the men teachers came on dressed to pUy hockey, football, and almost every ' P rt except basketball. Every teacher was wearing a football helmet. Mr. Cook and Mr Malkin were completely hidden by hockey pads; the onlv thing they lacked was skates. Mr. Malkin stepped on the ' floor in a pair of shorts that created some whistles from the dazed crowd. Mr. “Stretch” McManus came on the floor last and was greeted by a loud cheer from his favourite student, Edward Gates. Mr. “Torchy” Cowgil! was the star of the game. He hit the floor as often as the ball itself. Mr. Bennett was at Mr. Cow-gill ' s side all the way. Mr. Bennett was full of pep for the game. The girls opened the scoring first by connecting with three fast baskets one after another. Then came Mr. McManus, to score with a beautiful pass from Mr. Harrison. Then Mr. McManus came running down the floor in circles to accidently score again. Mr. Harrison then came back to score twice. Mr. Newman had his chance to score. Mr. Murray and Mr. Harrison confused the girls with some tricky and beautiful passing. 1 even think they confused themselves. Then came the girls’ chance to score lfter a mad dash down the length of the floor by Mr. C. Murray. During the last quarter. Miss Layman called time out. She then said something to the girls team. Whatever sue said had quite an effect. VC hen the girls came back they were holding on to the men; then, they started pinning our “Charles Atlases” to the floor. When the final whistle blew, all anyone could see was little piles of teachers and girls spread all over the place. The girls were biting ind the teachers kicking; but ail is fair in love, and war, and basketball. Our “Charles Atlases” emerged victorious but battle- scarred. Final score: Teachers 22, Girls II We sincerely congratulate the men teachers for :hc punishment they took; but we really want very, very much to congratulate the girls who gave it to them.

The spectators were treated to an exciting game, but the Pa n¬ thers won out 22-12. The next week our lassies met and defeated Riverside by 2S-15. Our guards and forwards both played an excel¬ lent game. Our winning streak held out for two more games, as we defeated the Walkerville Tartans and St. Joseph ' s High by 11-10. and 21-14 respectively. Alas! The Ogre of adversity now turned on us and the next three games were losses. The Kennedy Clippers won by 19-10, the Sandwich Spartans by 29-16, and the Panthers by 24-12. This last game was clean and fast. At half time we were still leading. The final score was uncertain until the very last minutes of play, when the Panthers crept ahead. The next game was played against the Riverside team. Once more our lovely maidens captured and held a big lead, thus winning to the tune of 22-12. The final game was played against the Tartans. We regret to say that when the whistle blew, the score card showed 18-17 for our opponents. Girls’ Gym Team— By .»ue McDonald Ugh - - - Ooh - - - Ahhh! Where are the strange noises coming from? Who is making them? Please don ' t get excited. No one is being tortured. It ' s only the girls’ gym team practising. These were some of the strange sounds that came from the gym while the girls practised to perfect their backhends, fishflops. handstands, headstands, rolls, etc. Exhibitions prove that our girls can do some amazing stunts. Did you ever sit down, cross your legs and then walk on your knees with your legs still crossed? Try it sometime and see what happens. Now ' stand on your head and turn a complete circle. Hurts, doesn ' t it What shall we try’ next? Fishflops? No. that ' s a little too hard. Let ' s see. I know ' , let’s do a handspring. Oh ! don ' t give up so easily. The girls ' gym team can do it. Why cin’t we? No one will tell me their secret of success, but I hear their motto is still “BOTTOMS UP . • JUNIOR BASKETBALL JOSEPHINE PILLAR TANYA ANDRUCK JANET LACROIX NADIA RADKEV1CH IDA TOMASSINI DOL.
