Perseverance is one thing which has always stood well above all others in Malvern play. There never has been a sign of giving in until the final whistle has been blown. For years Malvern has been battling up-hill and in the last few years these efforts have been rewarded. We may be just- ly proud of our records as they are the result of many years of persistent endeavour. This year we successfullly defended Championship and thus made it three IGH

THE MUSE years in a row that Malvern has been on top. This record will take some few years to beat. Our Juniors with a practically new team kept up the old Malvern habit of being close, only to be edged out by Park- dale Collegiate who subsequently became city champions. The 125- pound team entered the finals in their division only to lose by a five to nothing score. This promises great things for next year's Junior team. Hockey did not give us any championships but it certainly showed that Malvern is always in the game fighting. Lacrosse and basket- ball, two games that might easily be played at Malvern were sadly neglected last year. Many of our students are playing star parts in these games but for outside clubs. We would certainly like to see both these games encouraged at Malvern. RUGBY We have enjoyed a great season in Rugby this Fall. The Senior team again won the High School Rugby Championship while the Jun- iors despite their lack of experience were only put out after reaching the semi-finals. Our Junior Team battled hard in every game, and considering the fact that only two or three had played Junior Rugby before, they were remarkably good. They gained their place in the semi-iinals after beating Eastern Commerce the Central group winners. They held Parkdale Collegiate so well that the game was undecided until the last second. They were out-weighed and played in a sea of mud. We can certainly hope for at least a good Junior Team next year and may it have the same fighting spirit that carried the team of 1931 on. This year's Senior Team was one of the most evenly balanced, smoothest-working outfits that Ted Reeve has ever produced. One may receive some idea of the strength of this team when we say that in four league games, a semi-final, and final, they scored one hundred and forty-six points against eleven. Eight of the eleven points scored against them were in the final game. It seemed too bad that such a team should not have been allowed to represent Toronto in the Pro- vincial Finals. But that cannot be helped and it always seems better to finish the season victorious. To pick out individual stars on either team would be impossible. The star of stars and the reason for our success is Ted Reeve. He has created among the fellows a spirit of friendship and co-operation which may be called the stick, gang stick spirit. Teddy gave to all of us the happiest moments of our lives and who else can do that? To lose such a coach, as is threatened, would be a blow not only to Malvern but to High School Rugby as well. We can never thank him enough for his unseltlsh work but we can wish him the best of luck, health, wealth, and happiness. f +35 J
