l T HE HIGH SCHOOL MAGAZINE 83 BASKETBALL February 18th brought to a close the basket- ball season at G.H,Si By winning the divisional championship, both our teams earned the right to play off with both the West Hill junior and senior teams for the Inter-school Championship. The play-off games were staged in Victoria gym. Our seniors were beaten by West Hill but our juniors saved the day by winning their game by a high score. Our seniors lost the first game of the season, an exhibition game against Vlfeston H.S.---but were successful in winning all their league games. Our juniors had to play off with St. Lambert H.S. to see who were to have the right to play West Hill. The game was played in Baron Byng gym and our team won. As usual there was keen competition in the inter-class matches. Captained by Janet Clouston, the crack 6A team proved superior to all other teams and were crowned champions with the close of the season. We received a challenge from Sherbrooke H.S., but unfortunately we were unable to accept it. On behalf of all basketball players and enthusiasts, I must thank Miss Watt for the interest she took and the time she spent to make G.H.S. basketball such a success.

INTERSCHOLASTIC SWIMMING CHAMPIONS SWIMMING, 1928-'29 HIS year has been a very successful one for our swimming activities. Under the able direction of our new swimming instructress, Miss Thompson, many girls have learned to swim, and Life-Saving has been very popular with the more advaneed,. The cups were all competed for with the usual enthusiasm. Thanks to Miss Thompson's train- ing and the encouragement received from the rooters, the Inter-School cup was won by our team by a fairly large number of points. This makes the third successive year for the school to win the cup, so it is now ours to keep. The Inter-Class meets were also successful and largely attended. The Senior aggregate cup was won by 11-2-A, and the Individual by Helena Lawrence. The Junior aggregate was won by Sixth Year, while Lillian Athernley won the Individual cup. We all wish to thank Miss Thompson for her splendid help and encouragement to us during the year. Respectfully submitted. HELENA LAWRENCE, Swimming Manager.
