HOCKEY Playing for the sheer love of the game, several boys accepted the invita- tion of the city teachers' hockey team to play in the City League. Although not always on the winning side, the team reached the playoffs, and always offered their opponents stiff opposition, making every game worthwhile. Perhaps it was the after-effects of teaching that made the team so spirited for these Thursday night games. Even the goal-tender took it on the teeth. The team is especially grateful to Mr. Olmstead and Mr. Weir for their interest, encouragement and leadership. SOFTBALL No feature during the Fall term did more to make one Normalite acquainted with another than the scheduled softball games after four. Mr. McKinney's leadership not only made these occasions enjoyable but at the same time provided each student with much practical training in how to teach the game. On several occasions a Normal School team enjoyed games with the girls from Queen Alex or the North End boys. All in all, it was good fun.

The Iunior Red Cross 'Society NE OF THE first student activities to be organized at Peterborough Normal School this year was the Junior Red Cross Society. Due to the rather peculiar nature of a teacher-training institution, the Red Cross Society at Peterborough seeks to combine the values of having an organization for each Form plus an organization for the school as a whole. Representatives from each Form met as a committee for the whole school. A President, a Secretary, also a Treasurer were elected-thus the Fall Term Red Cross Society came into being. President ....... Phyllis Boyd Secretary ...... Marjory McBride Treasurer ....... Lloyd Sills Representatives . Margaret Brick, Margaret Rutherford and Clifford Votary. During the fall term they were very successful in raising money for the Society. The first attempt consisted of a uPenny Parade which took place in the auditorium. The three Forms really were competing with one another, raising 31825. Later a Sadie Hawkins' Party netted more funds. At Christmas, the Red Cross Society forwarded a substantial portion of its earnings, as well as the decorative articles made during the Craft periods to bring Yuletide cheer to veterans lanquishing in hospital. In January the following Spring Term Executive was elected: President ....... Luella Homan Secretary ....... Anne Reid Treasurer ...... Douglas Wallace Representatives- Rosemary Jordon, Marian White and John Grylls Junior Red Cross, for many, was lost during their High School days. The progress and present activity of the organization, touching as it does the life work of teachers, is of interest to all. Through the Normal School branch, students at this school have recaught the vision of service. These go forth to their own schools better fitted to work with Red Cross and to translate into action its motto I serve. ' -PHYLLIS BOYD. Sports Activities BASKETBALL This class has every reason to be proud of those girls who formed the school's entry in the Ladies Basketball League. Coached by Miss Jean Caverly fP.N.S. graduate, 19475, and managed by Orval Reynolds, these girls developed into an aggregation which commanded respect from every team in the league. In the regular schedule the Normalites were barely nosed out of second place. In the playoffs, they showed sufficient power to carry off the Intermediate Championship. Under their captain, Lou Homan, the girls found great leadership. Peggy Brown and June Ashley led offensively while Eddie Gill and Rose- mary Jordan were equally effective defensively. Always in the game and giving their best were Mildred Jackson, Marg Hickey, Marg Watson, Mary Curtis and Marjorie McBride. To each of these girls we are grateful for the good entertainment they provided and for the laurels their success won for our school. ' Page Thirty-five

The Toronto Trip O SO MANY people by whose efforts one of the year's most profitable days became possible, this class will ever be grateful. How they ever planned so many details is a marvel of organization. Truly, it may be said that from break of dawn until nigh unto another dawn there were no idle moments. A special coach, hot chocolate and cookies in the Oak Room, street car tickets, a tour of the Art Gallery, lunch at the Museum, a variety of lectures there, a break in order to have a mid-afternoon snack, a visit to the Parliament Buildings, the relaxation accommodations at the Central Y.M.C.A., and the evening arrangements left nothing undone for the day's enjoyment. Some visited friends and relatives, some attended the Horse Show, some went to Massey Hall to enjoy the Pop Symphony Concert, and others to the Royal Alex to see the enactment of Antony and Cleopatra . Whatever their diversion and entertainment, all were unani- mous in describing this as an outstanding experience. The trip for some ended early on Saturday morning, for others late Saturday night. Some even prolonged the event until 2.00 a.m. on Monday morning. By nine o'clock on that same day all had resumed the schoolroom tasks at P.N.S. Each brought back tales of sights and experiences that will linger, but this record should contain some that might otherwise be forgotten. THE BEGINNING B-r-r-r, br-r-r! Oh, shut up! B-r-r-r, br-r-r!
