What a score! 18 to 10. C4A, the team with the red ribbons, defeats C4B, the team with the blue ribbons. Of course the win for C4A was to be ex¬ pected, for after all, the team consists of three members of the senior team, namely, Julia Pillar, Shirley Queen, and Anne Pavlech. But, of course, C4B also has two members of the team who are Mary Weiko and Mae Mc¬ Donald. I guess C4A, ably led by Captain Doreen Reddam, proved to be too much for C4B. GIRL’S GYM CLASS IN ACTION

THE TOWERS I 9 4 K 19 4 9 PAGE TWENTY-NINE GIRLS’ • SENIOR BASKETBALL lint Team Shirley Queen, Helen Horourk , Julia Pillar, Doris Si. Louia, Wary Weiko. Mac .McDonald, Ann Pav lech. • SENIOR BASKETBALL After a considerable amount of practice, the team had a game with Eaaex Wire. “What a game! The opposing team went home limp¬ ing. The night was ours, and victorious we arose to the tune of 33 to 6. Our first team this year consisted of Shir¬ ley Queen, Mae McDonald and Julia Pillar as forwards, with Helen Horoszka, Anne Pavlech and Mary Weiko as guards. As the basketball season rolled around, our first game turned out to be with St. Joe ' s High School. Our Vocational lassies found the going a little rough at first, but at half time they were in the lead having a score of IS to 6. Julia Pil¬ lar, high scorer for the night, made 18 points. Next was Shirley Queen with 8 points, and fol¬ lowing was Mae McDonald with 5 points. The final score was 31 to 14. Then came the game against Sandwich which, despite all our efforts, turned out to be our first loss. The score at the end was 23 to 15. The honours go out to Mary Weiko, guard, who shone for the night. Her playing was one that deserves recognition. Our next game on the schedule was against Kennedy. It turned out to be a bad loss, the score being 20 to 9. At this game a switch was made and guards played forwards, while for¬ wards played guards. Hats off to guards Mary Weiko who scored two points and Anne Pav¬ lech who sunk a foul shot. After this game our winning streak came back. We defeated Walkerville to the tune of 22 to 14. Then came the game of the season, when we were to meet up with Patterson. The game was fast. The first three baskets of the game scored by Julia Pillar, put Vocational in the lead. The going was good and we were in the lead all the way. The end of the game found the score to be 24 to IS, making another victory for the Vocational lassies. Our last game on the schedule was with Riverside. At this game every player was given a chance to show their skill. Giving the best SPORTS performance, and high scorer for the night was Shirley Queen with 14 points. The final score was 31 to 9, an easy win. The captain of the team this year was Shirley Queen of C4A, who led the team all the way. Also on the forward line was Julia Pillar of C4A, who made high score of the season by scoring 18 points in one night. The other for¬ ward was Mae McDonald of C4B, who never failed to get the rebounds. Guards were Anne Pavlech of C4A, Mary Weiko of C4B, and Helen Horoszka of C3B. Anne Pavlech was the smallest guard, but she was always in there fighting. You can be safe in saying that she was the fastest player on the floor. Mary Weiko made a real good showing this year, playing wonderful defense. Helen Horoszka was the tallest member of the team. Her height came in handy on rebounds. Lowe Vocational School tied with Kennedy and Paterson for the runner-up spot, with four victories and two defeats, grabbing off a play¬ off berth while doing so. • REFEREE CLASS This year a Referee ' s Class was opened by Miss Layman. Girls who wished to enter were given instructions. In order to qualify for the Referee ' s Crest they had to referee three inter¬ form basketball games. We should have quite a few Referee ' s Crests given out before the end of the year. • TENNIS This year the girls did not have much prac¬ tice in tennis. They only had a chance to get into the swing of it when four girls were asked to enter the Tennis Tournament at Jackson Park. These girls were Shirley Queen, Anne Pavlech, Julia Pillar, of C4A, and Doris St. Louis, of T4A. These girls gave their all in effort and all we can say is thanks for representing the school.

• GYM TEAM This year the Gym Team was favoured by a visit from the Turner Club of Detroit. This special event took place on the 14th of Feb¬ ruary. A few of the girls tried their skill on the tight rope. You could see a girl strutting down the rope. But where is she? She disappeared. But no, she hasn ' t. There she is on the floor. So up she comes and tries again, for the famous saying goes, “If at once you don ' t succeed, try again”. All equipment was on the floor and in use. Some tried the unicycle, and in spite of landing on the floor once or twice, they also tried again. 1 can be safe in saying that the girls went home in a “Frankie Lane s Song condition. (Black and Blue). The Gym Team this year has been cut down to twelve girls, who have shown special ability in gymnastic lines. They are being train¬ ed with the Boys ' Team and will do mixed py¬ ramids. The leader of the Team this year is Mary Weiko. The next member who has been the longest on the team is Mary Pedlar. I am quite sure everyone is enjoying themselves in spite of all the moans and groans, and as was said last year, I still believe their motto is “BOT¬ TOMS UP . • SENIOR VOLLEYBALL I Pictured Above) Back Row— Lena Eostvroveeh Betty Gazo Mae McDonald Nadia Radkcvich.

They played on, and, of course, everyone cannot arise the victor. Both teams enjoyed the season. They put all they had into the games. The team ' s senior captain was Anne Pavlech, who did a swell job. To the girls all we can say is, better luck next year. • • • TOURNAMENT OF BASKETBALL SKILLS — By BKTTY l.AURIK The girls of C1B took part in the Tourna¬ ment of Basketball Skills against all the other first forms. There were teams from four first forms all decked out in coloured streamers. Our colour was green. Nadia Radkevich, the head of the basket¬ ball on the Girls ' Athletic Council, took charge of the event. There were relay races in pas¬ sing and shooting. In our usual enthusiastic style, we acquired the greatest number of points, and now proudly wear the crests, “Champs . We have great hopes of winning the interform basketball too.
