The Athletic Committee VEN in a Normal School, Athletics have their place. In Peterborough, this place was prominent indeed, pervading the entire course. Are games not essential in school life? Moreover, did the student body not select leaders to be members of their Athletic Society? As staff counsellor, Mr. McKinney furnished the necessary inspiration. From Form I, June Brown CSecretaryJ and Gerry Farrar were chosen. Gwen Hill tVice Presidentb and Marion McGill represented Form Il and Form III elected Lawrence Outram fPresidentJ and Austin Cronk. These six gave leadership to the various athletic activities of the school, activities which added much to the year's enjoyment. Eight baseball teams were organized and played off their complete schedule. Though few remember the names of the champions, all recall the enjoyment of being kids again. Indoors, the merriment of sports was daily evident around the table tennis equipment. Early in the morning, at noon, between classes, during spares fofficial and otherwise, if possiblej the table was in use, chiefly by persons known as Sagriff and Runnalls. Incidentally, these two won the tournament. Nor was badminton omitted. The gymnasium was the scene of many a thrilling game and of another fine tournament. Who won it? Don't you remember? Then, too, we must mention that joyous sleighriding party. It must be recorded that 1947 was a winter of deep snow, necessary for sleighing although a handicap to outdoor rinks. The humiliation endured by some hockey teams may be attributed to the snowstorm. The proudest athletic achievements were accomplished by that gallant group of girls who represented P.N.S. in the Ladies' Basketball League. Coached by Mrs. Haig Kelly, these girls played to win. They won their share of games and admitted defeat only when the final whistle blew. Win or lose, every game ended with Normal pressing to the utmost. The contest over, they accepted victory modestly or defeat graciously. The Athletic Committee hopes that such sportsmanship will ever be character- istic of the 1947 class. --GWENDOLYN HILL. Mr. Smitheram: I always like to watch the squirrels playing in the trees outside the window ..... I-don't know what I'd do without them to keep me awake in class. Student: What about the class?
