Girls Hockey by Miss Goudie - staff. This year, Girlsl Hockey put in another of its sporadic appearances at Orangeville. Because of Mr. Rohmer's generosity Qfor which we thank him very much, , the hockey enthusiasts among our female population bundled up each Tuesday afternoon at 3. 30 and headed for the Cold Storage Room at the Arena. There for the next 30 minutes, the few polar bears and penguins, who had wended their way down from the North Pole witnessed some of the mo st exciting, the most thrilling, the best-played games ever seen in these parts. Luckily no serious injuries, either to players or to rink were sus- tained throu.ghout our season. Our big exhibition game produced our only what-you-might- call casualty., One of our star forwards Qonly one mind you, and we had dozensj preferred to tangle with the side:-boards to playing hockey. Of course there were the usual minor complaints, F- sore backs, sore muscles, and sore M- QWell l told them that that wasnlt the proper way to skatej. Our big game of the season Kas l said beforel was with the Town Girls. It was an exciting game, but there was one thing wrong. They had a few more All-Stars than we Kthey must have picked up the Detroit options, not Torontol. Our goalies Shut:-Out Hunter and No Score Simpson had a bad night as they let a few Qabout 151 pucks past theme But they claimed that Joltin ' Jeanne Harrison and Body Slam St., Aubyn Werenlt putting up a strong enough defence. Our stalwart young forwards werenlt quite up to expectations either. As mentioned before, Fast-Skating Sharon Webb preferred running into the side:-boards to scoring goals, and Gliding Gay Towers said that she couldnlt remember whether she was to hit the puck or the player land we had said there was to be no rough stuffy., Another for- ward Floatin Fleetham thought itswasnlt cold enough in the Arena, so .she spent most of the game sliding along on the ice., Only our Niff'yf' Nancy McCleary proved that she knew what to do once she got the puck near the other net fthe other players somehow got it mixed up and thought it easier to put it by Minl. Needless to say our big game was not won by us. lWe were saving our energy and talents for the play-noffs.l All in all, I think the girls who turned upgo play had a lot of fun and maybe next year we can settle down to business and really learn to play hofol ckey., I!

Gym Night by Arlene Bryant XII The girls that participated in our biggest of gym shows, on March 4, 1955 were Rosilyn Sullivan, Dolores Hansford, Lynda McBride, Lesia Durkalo, Virginia McEwan, Joan Coulter, Elaine Cook and Arlene Bryant. These girls proved they too had muscles. The girls started their part of the show with forward and backward sommersaults taken alternately. The balancing was the real chance for the showing of mus- cles. This meant lifting or balancing the lighter girls on their hands and feet. Two different balance formations were called the Butterfly and the Swan Dive. Next, on our programme, was the building of four pyramids The fourth one was at the end of the programme, holding the sign for 0.1-1.5. For variety the girls showed their skill on the box-horse. The first accomplishment was a running sutnmersault. The next trick, the turning of necksprings A ' A .was done exceptionally well by Lynda McBride and Le sia Durkalo. Last but not least, Dolores I-Iansford and Arlene Bryant thrilled the audience with the running strattle over the box-horse. I would like to add strattling the horse took weeks of hard practice. The girls realize they wouldn't have been able to show their skill, if it hadnlt been for the constant 'training of Mr. J. McFarlane, the boys P.T. instructor. il ll Il When is the prettiest time of the year? To me, I think itls spring. All of the trees will come out in bud And all of the birds start to sing. by Lloyd Booth H ll I1

A night out doors, the air is cool, The stars are bright, but he Cyoung foolj Gives not a thought to next day's school. The morning comes - it brings its light B ut through his eyelids, still closed tight He scarce observes the flight of night. No homework done, the hour is late, He leaves for school to meet his fate Rueing last night's lengthy date. Detentions served E- some lines to write - A math test failed - he sees the light! And from these treacherous girls takes flight. His marks go up, his worries flee, And he from great expense is free, He faces school days cheerfully.
