59 W.O,S.S,A. This year our school was fortunate enough to obtain ad- mission to the Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association, better known as W.O.S.S.A., This organization was formed to link all secondary schools of Western and Southern Ontario together, This region extends roughly from Windsor in the South to Owen Sound in the North, Goderich and Kincardine on the West to Orangeville on the East, W,O,S.,S.A. is part of O,,F.S.S.A. or Ontario Federation of Secondary Schools Associations. O.,F.,S.,S,A. was formed two years ago to bring all the Secondary School Associations together. The se Associations are E,O,S.S.,A,, N,O.,S.,S.,A.,, C,O.,S.,S.A.,, T.S,S.,A.,, T.D.,l.,A.A,, H,l.A.A, and W.O.S.S.A., The O,F,,S,S.,A., run such things as the Red Feather Football tournament, the Golden Ball Basket- ball tournament, and the Ontario High School Championship Track and Field Meet. The reader may now see that Orangeville District High School Athletics, if good enough, could win Ontario Championships. Last year and the years in the past we could not do this, for We were not in an organization such as W,O.S.,S.,A, lt is not for Championship alone, however, that we were eager to join W,O.S.,S.A, but it was to gain the maximum amount of activity for the students of our High School. After being admitted in December, we have participated in boys Jr. and Sr., Basketball, boys and girls Badminton, boys and girls Public Speaking and we will participate in Track and Field this spring., Other phases of activity that We will be able to participate in, in the future will be football, girls Jr., and Sr., Basketball, girls and boys Volleyball, Curling, gymnastics, swimming, W,O.,S.S.,A., is divided into 2, sections -2- A and B. The A sectim is for schools over 600 students, and B for schools under 600 students. We, are in the B division., Each division is divided into groups, and our school is grouped with Fergus, Palmerston, Elmira, and Listowel for Basketball, To win a W.,O,S,S.Ao B Championship, therefore, Orangeville would have to win in its group, and play off with the other group winners to determine eventually the W.O.,S.,S.A. B Champion. This year, in our participation in organized athletics we have not produced a champion as yet, but l am looking for a couple of championships in track and field this spring.

lt has been a lot of work getting into this organization and preparing teams for competition in the different activities of W.O.S. S.A. , and my one hope in departing from Orangevillte District High School, is that the teachers and students of this High School deem it important and rewarding enough to keep participating in this won- derful organization permanently. by Mr MCFar1 ane H H H Volleyball tournament by Paul Henderson llA The first Volleyball Tournament in O.D.,H,S. was held on the 26th of November. lt was an invitational event, and 8 out of 2.0 teams accepted and entered. Entries were as follows: Fergus, Arthur, Palmerston, Shelburne, Mount Forest, Elora, and Orange- ville. The latter entertd Z teams -2 junior and senior. The gymnasium was divided into 3 medium-sized courts , so that the games could be run off in reasonable time. The teams were paired off and the events were under way. The winners of the lst round played a second series as did the losers. A trophy was provided by The High School Board and was presented to the Orange- villl senior team. Players and coaches on all teams were enthusiastic about the tournament because it was the lst held in this district. The tournament was a huge success and we are looking forward to more of this type of competition. ll il ll 'Twas in a restaurant they met Brave Romeo and Juliet He had no dough to pay his debt SO Rome0 d what Julinet. by Howard Simpson ll H ll
