A forward who always seems to know where the ball is going and gets there first. This is his last year in P.C.V.S., so the best of luck. Clarence scored 30 points during the iirst eight games. jack Dougherty: QDizJ Also a for- ward who works well on the pass ing plays and long shots. Diz's specialty is finding a better way to make difiicult shots. Harlow Cutting: A forward who makes the best of his shooting ability. His close-in shots, pass- ing, and long shots have helped him to obtain 59 points. Nelson Foster: A forward whose long shots and speed have given him 77 points. Nelson usually starts the scoring and adds the last basket of the game. Bill Turner: CSpudl Also a torward who has the knack of jumping up to the baskets for rebounds and then scoring them. He puts everything he has into the game and works exceptionally well with the team. He has obtained 46 points in eight games. 1 , SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM: C.O.S.S.A.

With only two more games to play and both of them home games it looks as though the district championship has already been won.

Also the keen in- terest taken in the team by the teaching staff and the pupils is greatly appreciated by us. Once again Mr. Bamforth's Sen- ior Team has started off the season with a smart line up.

Hockey After many years of inactivity, the school became hockey-minded this season. Daily practices were held during the Christmas holidays. So numerous were the candidates that Coach jackson has a very hard job getting the squad down to working size. :U it by-Y 4 1 THE HOCKEY TEAM Back Rowi R Thornton, B. Parnell, E. Ward. G. Pettersone, B. King, Mr. jackson Front Row: IE. Routly, S. Csumrik, B. Elliot, H. 1X'Iorrow, -I. Mortimor A team was entered in the Junior City League and also in the Interscholastic C.O.S.S.A. series. But as we were too late in entering the latter, our efforts had to be confined to the City League. We opened the series with a loss of 3 to 2 against the Monarchs. We came right back with four straight victories against the Bombers, Canadians, St. Pete's, and All Saints which led us into the play- otfs against All Saints. Our team was really flying by then and won handily 6-4. They earned the right to meet the Monarchs for the League Cham- pionship. As The Echoes goes to press the hockey team awaits definite word as to the play-off dates. Win or lose, we will uphold the honour and spirit of P.C.V.S. The team is as follows: Goalie . , . ., . ..,.. .,,., .,,.t, . J ohn Elliot Defence . E. Ward, B. King, S. Csumrik Forward B. Parnall, H. Morrow, E. Routley J. Mortimer, R. Thornton, G.

Moaizow Field Day Cihk Despite the rather cold weather there was a large number of participants in all the track and field events. The enthusiasm of the pupils and the keen competition showed clearly that field day this year was one of the most successful ever staged. There were three groups, divided as follows: junior-14 Page F ffl ji-six and underg Intermediate-1-1 to 163 Senior-16 and over. Silx er cups were presented at a morning assembly to the group champions: junior: Margaret lXIason Intermediate: Eleanor Irwin Senior: Mary MacPherson The A. Wander cup, given to the most outstand- ing girl athlete of P.C.V.S., was presented to Mary MacPherson. The champion form was IIC Academic. We thank the Boys' and Girls' Athletic Associa- tions for sponsoring a refreshment booth again this year. LINDEN REED 'S 'gg ,Q J Q FIELD DAY CHAMPIONS M. lXIuson, XV. Hall, D. Duncan, M. MacPherson tseatedl. Boys A chilly wind and a muddy track greeted the contestants taking part in the sixty-two events of this year's P.C.V.S. Field Day. Due to these weath- er conditions no records were broken. Gerry Creighton won the senior championship with an aggregate of twenty-one points nosing out Ross Thornton by beating him to the tape in the 880. Ross collected nineteen points. Harlow Cutting, an intermediate, won the senior high jump by clearing 5 feet 3 inches and Stroyan Leith tied the junior 100 yard record of 2.1 seconds. Don Duncan won top honours in the Intermediate section with twenty-five points. The junior class was won by W. Hall with sixteen. DONALD DIPLOCK

junior Rugby After a lapse of one year, we decided to enter a junior rugby team in the Lakeshore group. Practices began early in Septem- ber and after several weeks of hard work the following team was selected: Halves: R. Scriver, K. Gillespie tCaptainl Quarter: A. Moldaver Snap: -I. McMahon lnsides: J. Dwyer, A. Scott Middles: B. Ainslie, D. Douglas Outsides: L. Freeman, C. Gilles- pie Flying Wings: D. McPherson, J. Elliot Alternates: R. Ferguson, B. Har- vie, L. Graham, A. Northcott, B. Gracie, C. McWilliams The team was grouped with Oshawa, Lindsay, and Bowman- ville in a six game schedule. OSHAWA AT P.C.I. 'We opened our schedule at home against a strong Oshawa team. Play was very even all 'the way but in the second half P.C.I. went over for a touchdown to win 6-0. P.C.I. AT BOWMANVILLE. This was perhaps the best game of the year. P.C.I. played hard all the way but came out on the short end of a 2-1 score. LINDSAY AT P.C.I. Owing to the very muddy Held that day good rugby was impossible but P.C.I., spurred on by the taunts of the press, went out and defeated the highly-rated L.C.I. team by a score of 7-6. P.C.I. AT OSHAWA. Feeling vgry good after our win from Lindsay, P.C.I. went to play the return game with Oshawa. We were met by a very much improved team that showed its superiority by de- feating us 7-2. BOWMANVILLE AT P.C.I. This game was very close all the way but P.C.I. just failed to win by a few yards. Final score: Bowman- ville 7, P.C.I. 2. Page Fifty-eight JUNIOR RUGBY TEAM Back Row: B.

Look for more of him in future years! Ted Clarke-sub-forward. A steady player and one who shows real promise. H ewitt Amys-sub-forward. He co- operates in every way with his team-mates. Sam Rogow and Leslie Asceti- These are the two fellows you see stopping' the opposing for- wards. Bob Ferguson and Andy Scott-our alternate guards. Two good players. Al. Marshall-sub-forward. A hasn't been able to show his stuff yet but much is expected of him. Don M acPhers0n and Ralph Rogow are two fellows who play sub. with the team occasionally. With more experience they should star on P.C.I. teams of the fut- ure. I Mr. Craig-:With but two of last year's players with which to form the nucleus of a team, he has rounded out a team which we hope will be a credit to him. KEN GILLESPIE P.C.I. AT LINDSAY. In Lindsay we met our worst defeat of the season at the hands of a very strong Lindsay team. The score was 28-0 for Lindsay. Nuff said! This game ended the schedule with Bowmanville on top. Con- gratulations to them! During the season P.C.I. played two games with Lakefield High School and two with Grove Seniors. By every man being a Simpson, Grove were able to defeat us in both games but by very small mar- gins. Against Lakefield High we had better luck and won both games. We were very glad to see Dwyer, Elliot and Scriver graduate to senior company after the junior schedule was over. It is hoped that many more of the juniors will be seen under Mr. Bamforth's guiding hand in future years. Great credit must be given to our coach, Mr. jackson, for the work and time he put forth in try- ing to form a winning team from a group of fellows, some of whom had never played rugby before. Here's hoping for better luck next year. KEN GILLESPTE
