Senior and Junior Rugby Review-Comm-edffom Peg-H2 Senior Team came to an end all too soon with the players regret- fully bidding farewell to their many cordial hosts at Union Station in Toronto. The hardest test of the year came in the last league game with St. Pat's, In a bitter battle wich listed as casualties, Rollie Lemieux fbroken nosel, Gord Peachy fcharley horsel, Chuck Paul fconcus- sionl, Roy Bannister fbruised elbowlhlack Deakin came through in the backfield with some bruising plunging, while Guy Pitre, Russ Wilson and Will Glenn helded up front to bring out a 6-1 triumph. The sudden-death semi-final saw Glebe bow out 19-1 before the pass attack of Mellor-to-Par- malee and Guy Pitre and the hard-driving line play of Craig Pratt and Larry Gray. Then came the long-awaited return test with St. Pat's in the final. Here little Biddy Wilson, Tech's Mighty Mite quarterback gave a brilliant exhibition of signal-calling to direct the team to a smashing 21-0 lead in the first half which virtu- ally sealed the doom of the Irish. Both this game and the second one fa 16-0 winl showed the depth of material of this year's team. Never before had players of such calibre as Deakin, Bannister, Mellor, Guertin, Dick Ridgeway, Cal Clowes and Larry Gray been faced with the irony of bench sitting for half a game. In a post-season vote the league honoured two Tech Seniors by presenting to Marc Pitre, the Boucher Trophy as the league's outstanding player and to Chuck Parmalee, the Rough Rider Trophy as the most valuable linesman. They could have mentioned jimmy Craig as the most valuable assistant coach for his help this season. Junior Team Don Poulin-R. Middle- Lightning tried hard to win distinction in two lines of endeavour. Won the title of least talkative player on the team. Al. Brown-L. Middle-One of the few second year players on the team, Al was everything a lineman should be,-fast, aggressive, hard tackler, and ajohnny-on-the spot whenever an opponent fumbled. Moe Grenon-R. End-Moe also tried to set a record -that of being the most injured player on the team. To add to a painfully sprained ankle, he punctured a kidney during the final game. He turned in some fine efforts. Bernie Manley-L. End-The only carrot-topped boy on the team, Bernie lived up to the reputation of all red-heads, by having playing a fiery, rugged game. jack Donovan-Halfback-A school Track star for several years, a former Bantam Basketball player, and finally a football backfielder, this just about completes the cycle for jack, who managed to save all his best efforts for the Glebe games, Lorne Rooke-Halfback-When dressed in a football uniform, complete with helmet, the problem was to find Lorne. Bob Black-Flying Wing-Bob probably holds the unofficial record for long runs on a football field- without the ball! He was given the job of trying to fake the opposing team. just to keep him from becoming bored, we threw him a pass-once! Ken Bemzett-L. Inside-Ken divides his talents be- tween the football field and clerking in the 15 cent store. Proved to be a real team player. Tom Clowes-R. Inside-Being the understudy to another player is no fun at any time, and this was doubly true in Tom's case. Unfortunately he was alternating with Bud Simpson, an all-star lineman, which meant that his playing time was comparatively short. A willing player. Doug Thompson-R. Middle- Pop was a late-comer to the football scene, and their is reason to believe that he delayed his arrival until all the hard conditioning work was over. With a recently fractured wrist, well- padded with tape, he was always a threat. Dick Keeler-L. Middle-Another handsome resident of Rideau Park , Dick played beside his close friend, Bud Simpson. This combination was quite successful, as they could discuss their social life while playing. Ken Anderson-R. End-With a good pair of hands developed through long hours of practice on the basket- ball floor, Andy was a sure-catch on forward passes. .Henri Turpin-L. End - Turp , along wtth Moe Grenon, formed the French-speaking portion of the Iunior team. A very small, wiry boy, Henri was always a source of amazement, because he was never injured. Don MacDonald-L. End-Overcoming an early sea- son injury Mac kept trying until he became a good player both offensively and defensively. Doug Mimzes-R. Middle- Old Faithful is a particu- larly good name for Doug. Always the first at practice and the last to leave, he was the team's work-horse. Ray Byers and Eric Yee-Being a team manager calls for a lot of work with little recognition. For the second year, these two boys have given their time to the team and thus assured it ofsuccess. The team offers its thanks. 65

STOP THE PRESS! just as we strike our copy deadeline, the grapevine brings us the unhappy news that two staff members of our Physical Education Department will sever their conf nection with our school at the end of the term. Mr. Bill L'l'leureux, who joined Tech's staff in 1945, has the enviable record of having coached five champion- ship Rugby teams since that time. Mr. Al Smith, who came to us a year later, also has a perfect score to his credit with four championships. Mr. L'Heureux turned out Hockey champions as well, while Mr. Smith lent his further talent to the development of Track and Field stars and the winning of Basketball championships. Mr. L'Heureux now goes to Western University, London, where he will assist in the Physical Education Department. Mr. Smith goes to Weston Collegiate and Vocational School, Weston, to join its Department of Physical Education. With sincere regret at the loss of these two excellent leaders, we, nevertheless, wish them continued success in thier new positions. We are grateful to both for the conf tiibution they have made to our school. - Good luck, Bill and Al ! -HOWARD ROCHE Teeh's Three Basketball Teams-c....f.....1f.....

Theatre of the Stars-coafwa from Page 11 heavenly bodies which may take days or weeks or years to complete can be clearly telescoped into view within a few minutes. Now let us consider some of the pos- sibilities of this theatre. First we shall joumey due north at 5000 miles a min' ute ffast enough to get around the earth in live minutesj. We tind the heavens rolling overhead from north to south and swiftly we arrive at the north pole. Now we lind the pole star directly over us in the centre of the sky. All the stars move around it, and we see the same stars all the time, and no new ones rise and none set. The sun simply rolls around the sky a short distance otf the horizon and is in sight all the time for six months. Next we travel down to the equator and here we notice the sun rises and sets straight up and straight down. Also there are always twelve hours of day time and the same for night time. On to the South pole, here we find no north star or any of the stars we saw up north . However, we find the great Southern Cross and the star called Al- pha Centauri. The important thing about this star is that it is the closest fixed star to the earth-twentyftlve trillion miles away. Also we find here the beautiful myriads of stars called the Clouds of Magellan. Now we return to New York and we see that only a few minutes have passed. One of the aids to the projector is in another room where scale models of all the planets are shown revolving around the sun. The planets and all their va' rious moons are modeled and every thing is to scale. The value of this is readily seen. In the planetarium, we are on the inside looking out, but on the scale model we are outside looking in on the entire system. Let us now return to the theatre of the Stars. Often it is necessary to install some fancy gadgets to supplement the work of the projector. Some really fantastic illusions can be produced by these extras. Let me tell you of some of them. The lecturer slowly turns a rheof stat and the visitors discover one of the stars coming slowly closer and getting brighter. He pushes a switch and a cos 66 mic ray counter begins to work. This is no illusion though, for at all hours of the day or night, no matter where we are and no matter what we do we are conf tinually bombarded by thousands of tiny particles called cosmic rays each minute. Other rheostats can produce the figures which the Greek and Roman astronomers imagined in the heavens- The Bear and other constellations. The lecturer can add to the sky a beautiful rainbow, the ring around the moon or the delicately coloured curtains of the northern lights. We can have colourful sunsets, realistic dawns, various cloud formations useful for studying weather. We observe a violent thunder storm complete with all sound effects includf ing wind, rain and thunder. The whole dome can be converted instantly into a huge hemispherical map of the earth to aid in navigation. The operator can produce as well all the necessary visual effects for a rocket trip to the moon. Arriving there we see a beautiful lunar landscape in complete colour with the earth spinning off in the distance which is now 240,000 miles. We may approach Saturn and see her rings or come up to the sun and see its sun spots. An interesting thing about the earth is its wobble which occurs every 26,000 years or so. This wobble has the effect of giving different stars the position of north star for a while. Since 26,000 years can here be condensed into a trifle over a minute, it is relatively easy to zip back through the ages and see the star Thuban occupying the po- sition now held by our north star. Similarly we can jump ahead into the remote future and see the brilliant star Vega attaining that esteemed position. lf you ever go to New York, the Hayden Planetarium should be on your must list. In itself, it is well worth the trip. Jnnah and Ark-Continued from Page 12 Hast thou not heard? We are going to open real soon a new zoo on Mount Arafat. Then why not take my whale along? It should prove to be a colossal attraction. lt grieveth me to sperm the idea, but 'tis no dice. And whyest not? H The smell of the whale would be offalf' Yea, and these animals you have here ain't exactly violets. At that precise moment Mr. and Mrs. Skunk went past followed by a train of little squirts. Mrs. Jonah shrieked and shouted : Takest thou me away from this place immediately! Compared with this, the whale smell- eth like a Spring Day ! Autliofs Note: Any similarity be' tween the animals in this story and people is purely coincidental. our l949'50-Conlinued from Page 6 The Sweetheart Dance with Bill Mc- Cauley's orchestra-a line effort by the Teachers' and Students' Council.
