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

G. A. A. Executive Among the various phases of our school life, physical culture in its dillerent branches holds a prom- inent place. Early in September nominations were made for the offices of the Girls' Athletic As- sociation and the executive elected as follows: Honorary Presfdezzt--Miss Dorothy Brisbin President-Mary Macpherson lf z'ce-Pre5z'de11teBerle Johnston Secretary-Doris Glover Treasurer-Irene Gandy The Gym Display A new venture which proved very successful was the Gym Display which was instituted in the school last year. It was re- ceived with such enthusiasm by both parents and girls that in the future it will be an annual affair. Its success was due to the able direction of Miss Brisbin and Miss Bailey and also to the splendid co- operation given by the girls. The program consisted of gymnastics, games, and folk dances, demon- strated by the various forms. The Gym Display closed with the sing- ing of the school song, which was composed by the pianist, Mrs. Foster. Wiener Roast Immediately after school on the 14 of October, 1937, a large num- ber of girls could be seen hurrying down to the gym to take part in the Wiener Roast presented an- nually by the Girls' Athletic As- sociation. There were about three hundred girls present, all of Whom enjoyed themselves immensely. Games and contests, under the supervision of Miss D. Brisbin and Miss INI. Bailey, formed the major part of the program. This was followed by supper Cconsist- ing of wieners and ice-creaml, dur- ing which a merry sing-song, led by Gwen Bond, was held. The program closed with a Grand March and the vigorous rendition of the school yells. Badminton This year a Badminton Club was formed by the G.A.A. in the school. Each Friday and Satur- day afternoon a lively crowd ap- pears in the gymnasium to play this new and fascinating game. As yet it is not quite in full swing but we hope to form an interesting club which will long take a place in the athletic activities of the school. This year's executive includes: Captain-Isabel Wray Secretary-Wilda Saunders Treasurer-Joan Ottewell MARY MACPHERSON Volleyball The interform volleyball games proved very successful again this year. In the Vocational School III Form Commercial played Spec- ial Commercial for the right to play the winners in the Academic school. Although defeated by a score of 17-15, Special Commercial deserves praise for their cleditable showing as they do not take P.T. and had no opportunity to prac- tise. In the Academic school the hefty VA team defeated IIIA by a score of 31-8. In the final game Academic VA proved the superior team and downed Commercial III by a score 27-11 to win the interform cham- pionship.
