Junior Girls' Basketball Track And Field Events For the Hrst time in several years a junior girls' basketball team was entered in the league. Under the able coaching of Miss Brisbin, the junior team did very well considering they had to play a team with much more experience. A large number of girls have come regularly to practices and next year this team should be able to offer some very serious opposition to any team it plays. June Ballard-lCaptainj played forward on our team. She was an ac- curate shot but was forced to resign due to illness, making it necessary to elect a new captain. Janet Collins- fCaptainD Her skill as guard aided our team in many difficult moments. M arion Sutherland - Centre for- ward. She co-operated in every way with her team-mates and is a good shot. Dorothy Frost -- Forward. Al- though short, Dot overcomes this by her speed and ability to handle the ball. Margaret Langley--Guard. lNIarg's height made her a great asset to our team. Ruth Sage-Guard. An efficient guard and always on the alert. Marion Bateson-Forward. Played a good game and was very depend- able. Joan Paterson-Guard. Proved her ability in this position by close check- ing. Viva Clarke-Forward. She played a good, clean game. Margaret F lett-Forward. Made the most of her shooting ability and has proven herself Very capable. Mary F erguson-Forward. She was our score-keeper, but when June Ballard dropped out, Mary took her place. Girls' Athletic Association The election this year for the G.A.A. was a great success due to the interest shown by the number of girls who turned out to vote. Those chosen are as folows: President: Helen Beatty. Vice-President: Eleanor Collins. Secretary: Betty MacBrien. Margaret Mason, as Treasurer, left school quite suddenly but her place was taken by Dorothy Thomas. Later Dorothy entered the business world, leaving the office still unfilled. Field Day Our annual Field Day, which is usually held in October, was post- poned this year until May 14th, for many reasons. For one thing, it always tended to become entangled with rugby practice, for another, the organization of the time-table was still taking place. Also since Grade Niners, who form so large a part of the competing strength, Were, in the fall, still too bewildered to take part. Lastly, since the Port Perry Athletic Meet is held in the Spring, those tak- ing part in it would be in better con- dition. Although storm clouds threatened during the morning of the day of the event the weather cleared sufliciently by noon to permit the adjournment of school for the rest of the day and to allow those who wished to attend to do so without fear of being mired in the mud. The event got under way in good time in the afternoon and Mr. C. S. Browne filled capably his usual post as starter. There were many out- standing performances during the afternoon. Helen Beatty led the Senior Girls by a comfortable margin while Grade Niners, who were given such a chance to shine by the post- ponement until Spring, carried off honours in Intermediate and Junior divisions: Dorothy Kirn and Wenda Jacquith respectively, Doug Quirt was Senior Boys' champion, with Stroyan Leith a close second. Bill Hall won Intermediate laurels while Bruce Embury topped the Junior field. An added attraction was the Girls' Slow Bicycle Race which was run in two heats owing to the large number of entrants. The winners were Doris Glover and Jean Leach. We would like to congratulate the School's four instructors in Scientific Physical Education fknown to many as P.T.J on their eHiorts in making this affair a rousing success. Badminton A large number of girls joined the Badminton Club this year and a great deal of enthusiasm has been shown for this sport. As the gym must be used for Basketball and Badminton on the same night, the Club has been slightly handicapped but with the completion of the basketball schedule we hope to have more and better badminton. Port Perry Athletic Meet On Saturday, May 18, the win- ners of the School Field Day journey- ed to Port Perry to participate in an athletic meet with other schools of this district. Representatives from P.C.V.S. were-Senior boys: Doug Quirt, Don Duncan, Stroyan Leith and Jim Lillico. Intermediates: Ron Horton, Bill Hall, Harold Mather, Bill Greatrix and Bill Gibbs. Juniors: Bob Carley, Bruce Embury, Alan Johnson, Frank Fisher and Bob Lyon. Senior girls: Elfie Saunders and Helen Beatty. On the whole P.C.I. made a very good showing. A few winners were even produced. In the Senior group Jim Lillico won the high jump. The Senior relay team, composed of Gerry Fitzgerald, Doug Quirt, Don Duncan and Stroyan Leith, won the half mile relay. Elfie Saunders won the girls, high jump. The Intermediates were very proficient. especially in the races, of which Bill Hall won the 220 and 440 yard races. The junior relay team of Bob Carley, Bruce Embury, Alan Johnson and Bob Lyon was second in the quarter mile relay. lnterlorm Sports In last year's edition of The Echoes there was an editorial by the man- aging editor of that year, Frank Smoke, which was a plea for inter- form sports. It was stated that P.C.V.S. was far behind other schools in this form of athletic endeavour and that inter-school matches were all very fine for those taking an active part, but merely provided those thronging the side lines with occasional thrills and more than suf- ficient lung exercise. At last, how- ever, boys' interform basketball and volleyball have become a reality and a vast schedule has been drawn up and posted on the bulletin boards. Messrs. H. A. Craig, H. L.

CEST A RIRE A typing class was heard to say, Swing and sway the Metheral way. Heard in The Echoes Ofhce- Marilyn Munro: Things are com- ing to a fine state of affairs, I walk and my stockings run. Stu's in the hospital. Go on. Just a case of rnisunderstandingf, What do you mean? He threw his fag-end down a man-hole and stamped on it. tc May I speak to Bob? asked the boy over the telephone. I am sorry, replied his mother, but Bob can't speak to you now, he is in the middle of a plate of soup. Pop Craig: If the children are asleep will you get out the electric train? There was a young man from Rome tI've forgotten the rest of the poem. But it's something about a bomb , And if only he'd only known.,'D Lillico: Do you know the differ- ence between a bus and a taxi? Marg.: No. Lillico: Then we'll take a bus! Miss Lees: Who was Joan of Arc? D. Cutmore: Noah Arc's sister. The editor stood at the pearly gate, His face was worn and old. He meekly asked the man of fate Admission to the fold. What have you done? St. Peter asked, To seek admission here? Oh, I ran the blankety humour Page On earth one student year. The gate swung open sharply, As Peter touched the bell, Come in, he said, and take the harp, You've had enough of . . . trouble. -East York Collegiate And then there was the Scotch- man who told his wife creepy stories to make her teeth chatter so he wouldn't have to buy a rattle for the baby. Page Forty-four The new colored parson, calling for the first time on Mandy, was puzzled to hear her call the children Eenie, Meera, Mime and Henry, Why do you name him Henry? We do' wan' no Mo. Taxi driver ftalking to himself about his carl: VVhat a clutch! Voice from back seat: Mind yo11r own business!-Bomnerang. Sackville farrested for speedingl: But, Your Honour, I am from P.C.I. Judge: Ignorance is no excuse. We have in our school a teacher, whose hair Has grown woefully scarce, but of that he takes care, By combing a lock from one ear to the other, Making each puny hair lie next to its brother, And thus he may venture forth, looking quite bold, While he manages also to keep out the cold. The government of England is a limited mockery. Henry VVadsworth Longfellow was born in Portland, Maine, while his parents were travelling on the con- tinent, he made many fast friends: among the fastest were Alice and Phoebe Cary. King Alfred conquered the Dames. Lancelot arrived at a castle, where he asked if he could be put up with for the night. VVhen a girl stoops to conquer, it only means she's reducing. 4 R A crpopn The lilediterranean and the Red Sea are connected by the Sewage Canal. Doctor's Wife, suspiciously: John! He: Yes, dear? She: Who is this Violet Ray you are always talking about? Girl to McKnight as Lindsay comes into view, Pleasant place we're coming to, wasn't it, whew! A.G. Every time I kiss you it makes me a better man. B.C. Well, you don't have to try to get to Heaven all in one night. You see a pretty girl walking down the street: she is of course feminine. If she is singular you are nominative. You walk across to her and become dative. If she is not objective, you are soon plural. You walk home with her and her mother becomes accusa- tive. Then you enter and sit down and her little brother is a definite article. Next talk of the future and she changes the subject to the past. You kiss her and her father becomes present. Things are tense and you find yourself a past participle. ima ,-fxx lit HAWK' ff fi. NDAWM fi 'f fliff lla, ' 1 ' ,Q ,msvwe ,aa i .. X w-x W 3 .
