THE PELHAM PNYX Goal for Savings A University education is an advantage which most parents would like their children to en- joy. Even with Ll small income, this is often accomplished by keeping a special Savings Account. Regular Deposits, at compound in- terest, soon accumulate. G. D.

THE PELHAM PNYX 67 SOCCER As the fall days began to get colder, our thoughts turned to Smithville, who were the bitter rivals of the P. C. S. clan. After a few practices, our coach, quite confident that we were in shape, decided we should tackle these laddies. With the splendid foot-work of Gordon Beamer who accounted for two goals, we fortunately won by a score of 3-7.. A return game was held the following week at Smithville and Gordon again became the hero by scoring the only goal to tie up the score. Thus the final result of the series was P. C. S. 4, Smithville 3. HOCKEY With the fine co-operation of Mr. Crossley and the students, we managed to have the rink in shape for the coming hockey season. The Athletic Society wishes. to thank the Literary, who have made it possible for us to secure hock- ey equipment. Since the weather turned out line, hockey and ice skating were enjoyed for weeks. V The P. C. S. did not have any team this year, but we hope that the boys will get together next year and have a line hockey club. INTER-FORM HOCKEY This was the first year that the classes decided to have form competition. Several games were played, with Form Il coming out on top by winning most games. Stan CPeglegD Reilly, the dynamic youngster from Fonthill, was the star of the team. Keep it up, Stan! A great season was enjoyed under the capable handling of Mr. Crossley. Our only hope is that the time will come when P. C. S. can put out a champ- ionship hockey team. , A BASKETBALL Basketball practices began early in the fall and a group of new members ventured to learn how to play basketball. There was a great scarcity of Senior boys, and the Athletic staff under Mr. Laing decided to enter only a Junior team. The Junior boys got away to a good start by defeating Port Colborne, but they didn't do as well as was anticipated, since opposition was keener than usual in the Junior Division this year. The team members gained much val- uable experience from their games and practices, and as the season progressed showed improvement in shooting and passing. The boys should be compli- mented on the way they turned out for practices and their perseverence in the face of heavy opposition. Scores were high against them in various cases, but win or lose, the team showed a good reputation for clean sportsmanship. The team wishes to thank Mr. Laing for his line coaching and for devot- ing much of his time to try and establish healthy lads for the future. SENIOR BOYS' BASKETBALL The Seniors accompanied by the Grads, played a few exhibition games with various schools. Thanks to the help of R. Secord, L. Lymburner, D. Horton Qstars of former yearsl we were successful in winning a few games. Merritton Seniors nearly gave P. C. S. quite a heart failure in one game, but the local quint. came forth with a 1417.3 victory. ., ,

THE PELHAM PNYX 69 BANTAM BOYS' BASKETBALL It was decided that a Bantam team should be formed to play exhibition games with other schools. The boys were small and they provided plenty of laughs for the spectators as they bounced around the floor. They were unsuc- cessful with all their games, but we give them credit for at least trying, as we know they did their best. INTER-FORM BASKETBALL Under the supervision of Mr. Laing, inter-form basketball was very suc- cessful. Most of the responsibility was held by the students alone. All the scheduled games were refereed by the pupils. The final game was refereed by John Swartz. Six teams entered the competition and teams 4 and 6 were tied. In the playoffs team 6 CG. Beamerb was successful in eliminating team 4 QP. Tokarj Special mention: It has been decided that in the following years Field Day will be changed to Sports Day, and we hope that it will be a success.

FIELD DAY With Field Day being held on the early date of Oct 11, practicing com- menced as soon a re-acquaintance with old P. C. S. was made. With short but persistent practice the winners were provided with keen competition and the spectators with many thrills. The programme of high jumping, broad jumping, hop, skip and jumping, dashes and baseball and basketball throwets was concluded with no rain or snow which was most unusual. The close of a strenuous day heralded the following as victors: Senior Girls-Eva Secordg Intermediate Girls-Evelyn Kelly, Junior Girls -Jacqueline Lampman. BASEBALL Last spring the baseball enthusiasts were numerous, hardly one noon hour slipped by without two teams frantically trying to outswing one another at the bat. There were two games played with Smithville, but Pelham would prefer to keep the results hidden. When this spring rolls around, Our girls will do their best to obtain a more evenly balanced score. BASKETBALL Basketball practice started with large numbers turning out. It was very encouraging to find so many newcomers anxious to learn to play our mid- winter sport. To Miss M. Dixon we offer our thanks for helping us organize all our athletic organizations and begin the basketball season. To Mrs. Mc- Nulty we render thanks for the magnificent way in which she slid into the harness of our basketball responsibilities. As the girls' basketball coach, she gladly offered her time and admirably carried on from where Miss Dixon left off
