BOYS' BADMINTON CLUB BILL BROWN, PRESIDENT The Boys' Badminton Club, during the years 1940 and 41, was very successful. The bad- minton season began in November, 1940 and the club was glad to invite some rookie badminton players into their midst. Besides these rookies the club also gained two experienced players who are newcomers to our school-Wiber and Stephenson. For the first time the school boasted a bad- minton team which took an active part in badminton tournaments. Several contests were held with a Sturgeon Falls club and other en- joyable evenings were spent in trying to defeat the teachers. We are pleased to say that all in all, the badminton team came out O.K. THE BADMINTON CLUB Front Row: Ruth Rankin, Esther Smith, jean Stewart, Frances Smith, Grace McGaughey.

The Exhibition A splendid gymnastic exhibition was given during the last year's spring term on each of the two open nights, when many of the girls from all parts of the school put on a brilliant display of their training under the instructive guidance of Miss Ash and Miss Gardner. During each evening, classes of both Miss Gardner and Miss Ash displayed some of their regular class activities in their exhibition of folk dances and exercises. An exhibition game of basketball was played each evening, between IVA Collegiate, last year's champion school team, and V Collegiate, runner up, in which V Form carried off the honours the first night and IVA, the second night. The program was brought to a close with a Grand March and a school cheer. Inspection Day Last year for the tirst time, the girls took part in the Cadet Inspection program which was held at the North Bay Arena. The girls, arrayed in their freshly starched gym suits of green, the school colour, executed smartly the manoeuvres of a picturesque march and swung gaily through the various folk dances.
