THE ECI-roEs 79 Qzrlf' Q1 flzletzky EARLY in the fall the girls of P. C. V. S. met to elect an execu- tive to look after their sports. The results of this election were as follows: H01'1.PT6S1id67Zf.' Miss D. E. Brisbin President Isabel Wray Secretary' VVilma Saunders T1'8GSZH'6l'.' Peggy Lawless FIELD DAY, OCTOBER 7, 1936 This year the weatherman did everything in his power to make field day an outstanding success for our school. The girls took every advantage of his generosity to show their interest and fine sportsmanship. The competition was keen in all events, but especially in the senior group. Peggy Lawless won the senior championship with 18 points, just one point more than Mary MacPherson's record. The intermediate cup was won by Helen Beatty, junior champion of last year. We expect to hear more about Helen next year. Jean Carter showed herself to be a budding athlete by winning the junior trophy. Another feature of our field day this year was a booth sponsored by the Boys' and Girls' Athletic Association. VVEINER ROAST On the nineteenth of November the girls held their annual Weiner roast, in the school gymnasium. The games were supervised by lVIiss Brisbin. A very exciting volley-ball game between the academic and commercial started the entertainment off with a bang. A very amusing skit was put on by IA Academic. Soon the Weiners began to appear and disappear. . The Weiner roast once more was a very successful affair. VOLLEY-BALL Each year the girls are becoming more enthusiastic about volley-ball. Because it is becoming more interest- ing as the girls understand it better, and a large number of girls are needed to take part in it, it is a very popular game. After the inter-form play-offs the laurels went to III Commercial, who were successful in defeating VA Aca- demic by a considerable score. Bczfketbfzll ALARGE number of girls turned out to basketball practice this year to uphold the honour of the school. Although they didn't win, they played their best at all times. The girls are especially indebted to the Students' Council for the grant to buy new uniforms, which everyone agrees are exceedingly smart. Those who were fortunate enough to make the Senior Team were: M ary MacPI1ers01z - our captain - who is certainly worthy of the confi- dence the girls placed in her. She is our best forward and the fastest player on the floor. Mary has the happy faculty of scoring with but a minute left to play and thus saving the game. Ruth Ellis - forward - who plays a good game on defense, but when a forward is needed Ruthie is the one to take the place. Her long shots often fool her opponents and incidentally raise the score. ll'iIda Saunders QBQZJSD - centre for- ward - who, even though short, over- comes this by her speed and ability to handle the ball. joan Ottewell - who plays alternate guard and forward. Although this is her first year she has proved herself to be a steady capable player. Doris Glover f guard - who is an- other addition to the line-up this year. She can be depended upon at all times to prevent her opponents from scoring. Peggy Lawless - alternate guard - Cmztiamed on page 81

THE Ecnoas whose speed and height make her a great asset to the team. Isabel ll'1'a3' - guard - whose true sportsmanship and basketball ability make her one of the favourite players. Her long shots to the forward line and skill in guarding aid the team in many difficult moments. lllargarct Lznzdjfvalternate forward gwho plays a good combination game, working well with her team- mates. At every opportunity she showed her ability and filled the position. -lean Fowler - sub. forward - who has not as yet been able to show her stuff but we are sure will fill an im- portant place in the future. M'arz'0'zz jzdvy - sub. forward f who is a very steady player and shows real promise in the position. LZAl1dE'll Reed - sub. guard - who had not an opportunity to display her talent but will prove a good, reliable player next year. Mz'5S H7'ZiSf7Z'Il - our coach - every year has a larger place in the heart of every girl on the team. She is always helpful and encouraging and teaches us how to play the game in every sense of the phrase. Phyllis Dawsozz - score-keeper. Col-3ot'RG vs. P.C.V.S. P. C. Y. S. Senior Girls started their 1937 schedule by playing Cobourg at home. The teams were quite evenly matched and the score at half-time was tied. However, the Cobourg team had a slight edge in the second half and won the game by a score of 20-10. PoRT HOPE vs. P.C.V.S. The second game of the season was played in Port Hope. The game was close with never more than four points between the scores. Ruth Ellis was a welcome addition to the forward line. The game ended with a 23323 tie. LINDSAY vs. P.C.V.S. P. C. Y. S. went to Lindsay to play an exhibition game. Again the girls 7- - Sl met with stiff opposition. The score was tied at three different times but in the second half P. C. V. scored 19 points and won the game by a score of 3-l-19. P.C.V.S. vs. CoBoURG The last outfof-town game of this season was played in Cobourg. The opponents had the edge throughout the game. P. C. Y. S. began to come up towards the end of the game, but not soon enough. Cobourg won the game with a score of -H-22. P.C.V.S. vs. PoRT HoPE The last schedule game was played at home when Port Hope came here. For this game the team had new uni- forms. The game was close in the first half, the score being tied at half time. In the second half there was no holding the P. C. Y. S. girls and they won by 3? ll L' c.
