Front row: J. Duncan, Lloyd Siemens, Dave Wiens, John Chapman, Jack Hilde¬ brand, Bill Matthisen, Don Alsop. Back row, left to right: Gary Human, Denis Loeppky, Barry Day, Bill Breakey, Glen Loewen, Ken Blatz, Don Armstrong, Richard Hill. BOYS’ BASKETBALL As in soccer, Grade XI boys played Grades X and XII. Grade XI had a slight edge in basketball, due mainly to the heip of Bill Breakey, who stands 6 feet 4 inches. The boys had a grand old time at this game, playing it just as you would football, until they were remind¬ ed that basketball, like other 1 sports, had rules. VOLLEYBALL Most everyone at M.L.C.I. partici¬ pates in the fine sport. Quite .often the game becomes an open feud between grades. When this happens, any re¬ semblance between the game being played and volleyball is strictly coinci¬ dental. FOOTBALL The boys of M.L.C.I. play a little foot¬ ball but lack of proper facilities, equip¬ ment and coaches, has left football al¬ most .out of Morden sports life. BASEBALL Teams representing ,all the grades in the High School, compete in softball. The girls too have softball teams, and some are on the Morden Whizz-Bang baseball team. The boys have a hardball te,am comprised of many of the players from the school. HOCKEY Thi ' s year the Juvenile Sports Club of Morden,, sponsored hockey for the young boys of the town. The Sports Ciub organized three age division teams; Bantam BB, Eantam AB, and a Juvenile squad. Mr. Graham was authorized to coach the younger teams while Bill Cruden and Clarence Riach took over the coach¬ ing of the Juveniles. Morden Juveniles played some twenty- three games, winning about 65% of them. They played teams from Sperling, Pilot Mound, Letellier, Altona, Elm Creek, Winkler, Winnipeg, Gimli and several with the Local intermediate team. Led by tqp scorer Jim Duncan, the’ team reached the semi-finals of the Juvenile B playdowns. At that point they were ousted by a fine squad from Gimli. Incidentally, Gimli went to win the Juvenile B championship of the province. j We of the team would like to thank the Juvenile Sports Club, Clarence Riach .and Bill Cruden for their fine co¬ operation this season.

SPORTS FOR ' 52 BY DENIS LOEPPKY The students of M.L.C.I. have be¬ come ardent curling fans. Some four¬ teen. rinks were posted this year in the High School Curling. Many games were played; some ending in defeat, others in victory. You can be sure, however, win or lose, the kids are having a grand time at a grand old game. The annual High Scholol Donispiel held in Winnipeg attracted two rinks from Morden, One rink, skipped by Walter Voth, won its first and third games, losing the second and fourth. Denis Loeppky, the other skip, and his rink, lost their first two games, then went on to win the next seven, tonly to. lose out in the semi-finals of the Stand¬ ard Broom Competition. The boys won third prize in that event. The annual Morden High School Bon- spiel was held February 1 and 2. Twenty- six rinks were entered. Slome came from Pilot Mound, Miami, Carman, Sperling, Darlingford, Elm Creek, and Thornhill. Winner o,f the first event was Jim Swanton’s rink from Carman. Denis Loeppky, Barry McKennitt, Gary Sand- ercock and Jane Duncan were the Win¬ ning rink in the second event. The High School ’Spiel was a great success and members of the prize committee are to be congratulated for their fine efforts. Another winter has gone by, and since there was very little skiing this winter, most of the High School stud¬ ents took to the ice lanes at the Curling Rink. We Will take this opportunity to thank all the students for their splendid performances in curling this past wint¬ er. SOCCER Under the supervision of Mr. Bridge, soccer h ' as become quite popular. It is a fine sport for winte r entertainment, and also keeps the boys busy during P.T. periods. No special teams were chosen; usually Grade XI played against Grades X and XII. We never kept track of the games won or lost so we will say it ail ended in a draw. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL One may not think it possible but the girl ' s are quite good at basketball. Under the supervision of Miss Neelin they have become surprisingly good players.
