Page Sirly-Eiglzt THE HOWLER, 1934 BADMINTON, TENNIS AND SCHOOL CRESTS TUMBLING AND APPARATUS TENNIS DoUBLEs CHAMPIONS BARBARA I-'ENN LOUISE rom: BADMIN TON HIS year badminton has created more interest among the girls than ever be- fore. As North Toronto has only two courts and limited time to play, the member- ship is restricted to fourth and fifth formers. NVhen there is room, girls from the lower forms are allowed to play. The membership this year is well over eighty. Many of these are new to the game. So far there has just been a ladder tournament in which eighteen couples were entered. The four couples which work up to the top play other schools. Vp to the present, North Toronto has had only one tournament with another school. That was with Eastern Commerce. It resulted in 199 points for N.T.C.I. as opposed to 89 points for Eastern Commerce. Much interest marked the beginning of girls' sports this year, which showed itself in the number of entries in the tennis tournament. lt was scheduled for much earlier in the fall than usual and was carried through in record time. There was a 'decided increase over last year in participants which promises well for the future. Ida Tipp proved supreme in the singles, winning them for the second year in succession. She defeated Isabel Cation, 7-5, 6-1, who also played a good game. In the doubles, Louise Ford and Barbara Penn were the winners, with Johnny Marshall and Ida Tipp the runners up. The score was 6-4, 4-6, G--1, which indicates the eveness of the game. NIARY CALDER has returned to N.T.C.I. after three years' absence and distinguished her- self at Tennis and Badminton.-Awfully glad to have you back, Mary. PHYLLIS Mlsws is really interested in Badmin- ton and works hard at her game which is steadily improving. Keep at it Phyllis. , ...a mf., ts. 'im .A TUMBLING TEAM l L ' ies. A B, Higginson J.

Page .Skzwzty one should know, sixty per cent. on the Christ- mas and Faster examinations, and participa- tion in one major and two minor sports. The crest itself is given for athletic ability, execu- tive ability, sportsmanship and personality. The list is getting longer every year, and al- though it is only open to fourth and fifth formers, should continue to grow in length and distinction. TUMBLING The call for all those interested to come out and join the tumbling team came in November this year. It was eagerly answered. The team was composed mostly of first and second formers. A short display was given A++: THE HOWLER, 1934 at the annual first form party in November, and on January 11th, Parents' Night, another exhibition was put on. The team has had a very successful season. APPARATUS This is a feature which has not been stressed much in the last two or three years, but this year a team was made up of all the girls who wanted to go in for this form of exercise. The team fully justified its existence. It per- formed on two occasions, once at the first form party and again on Parents' Night. It is to be hoped that this part of girls' sport will be continued next year. x,-.-- u.u9.u.FlELD DAY, TRACK AND FIELD, AND SWIMMINGUUM Contrary to the well established custom at North Toronto, Girls' Field Day was post- poned last spring owing to the general con- fusion caused by the examinations and the termination of all activities. Several weeks prior to the meet, which was held early this fall, the jumping pits and track were used almost constantly by those who were the en- thusiastic participants of field day events. The Junior Championship was won by Fern East with 11 points out of a possible 15. She was closely followed by Lois Davidson and Betty Martin who tied for second place, each having 9 points. The Intermediate Championship won by Muriel Gray, gaining 9 points, was, like the Junior, very closely contested. Second place was again a tie. The honours were shared by Elinor Doane and Lorraine Brockway. Dor- othy lolly emerged Senior Champion with Ida Tipp in second place. The support of the spectators was greatly appreciated by all. Ribbons were presented by Mrs. Plumptre, Miss Hampson and Miss Standing to those placing first, second and third in events. Although a heavy shower drove the onlookers to shelter, it was possible to run off the few remaining events and bring the program to a successful conclusion. FERN EAsT certainly started her career at N.T.C.l. with a bang. She was junior Field Day Champion this year. Lots of time for winning yet, Fern. These JOLLYS seem to be a sporting family. Here is jacky's young sister DOROTHY Senior Field Day Champion. That's what you get for being jolly. LIFE SAVING M iowa, at '- ' X .f 3 :L ,' 4 A 4, 4, ., fy -.5 jg if . A . Q - Q' ' as i.

SWIMMING- Although North Toronto is not fortunate enough to have a tank of its own, swimming is carried on through the use of the Northern Vocational tank. Beginners have the privilege of swimming on Tuesday afternoons, while the life saving class makes use of the tank on Thursday afternoons. Ten of the girls are try- ing for the bronze medal and two are trying the Intermediate test, while one is trying for the silver medal. We wish them every success.
