. 'SENIOR TEAM The Senior Basketball team had a very success- ful year, First by winning their league Championship then going on to win the Lakeshore Championship. Port Perry, Uxbridge, and Whitby, forming the inter-school league this year showed good sportsman- ship and excellent school spirit. Port Perry Seniors although, proved too much for their league opponents and took all the four games with four straight wins. Helping to win these games was the able captain, BARBARA LOVE, Cforwardl who led the team assisted by forwards: MARY JEAN DOBSON JEAN SAMELLS, LOIS LEASK, THELMA MACEACHERN, NANCY KIGHT, LOIS SANDISON and ENID GLEMENTS backed up by guards, THELMA SWEETMAN, KENT GERROW, DOROTHY GRAHAM, MARINA LEE, and JOAN CHAPIN. Port Perry then went to play the Lakeshhre Championship with Port Hope. Since the Junior Squad had lost out MISS NASMITH brought up five junior players: RUBY LEASf, ISABEL GIBSON, CAROLINE NAPLES, MARILYN fALKER and DOROTHY WILBUR. With these additions added to the already good Senior Team it made a powerful line-up. After two very close games with Port Hope, Port Perry proved too much for them and won the Lakeshore Championship. Our excited first year coach, MISS NASMITH was lifted up on our shoulders as we gave three cheers for Port Perry, then for Port Hope. We had won the Lakeshore Championship and were bound for Toronto. Our next trip was to Toronto for C.O.S.S.A. playoffs. After two enlightening practices we headed for Toronto. Our first game was with Dundas, a school who had come to the C,O,3,S,A, for the first time. This game was interesting and exciting, but also confusing with three new rules that we had not been told about till just before the game started. Finally Dundas put Port Perry down to a defeat, the first defeat in League games, Port Perry losing by a score of 28-13 for Dundas.

Q QUNIQE BASKETBALL TEAM This year's Junior Basketball Team had real stiff compe- tition in their own league. Whitby put up a good showing of basketball against the Port Perry Junior squad but lost both games. The real trouble came when the Uxbridge Junior Team had been made the Uxbridge Girl's Team. Port Perry Won the first game on their home floor by a small margin. Then the Port Perry squad went to Uxbridge to a strange floor and there we were defeated by a small score. Then came the trial of plaiing a sudden death game in Whitby, Port Perry squad started out by ably holding Uxbridge down, up to half time, then Uxbridge came frim behind to win this game. Forwards for the Junior Team this year were: RUBY LEASK, ISABEL GIBSON, JOANLE MOSIENKO, EVELYN IANSON, HELEN HONEY, and CORRIINE BEACOCK. These girls did a very good job in scoring baskets this year both in exhibition games, and league games. Backing these girls up were: CAROLINE NAPLES, MARILYN WALKER, DOROTHY JILBUE, MARY PHOENIX, ELEANOR HUTCHISON, GLORIA ERnLICK JCEN CALBERRY and PATSY DITTRICK. Of course we had to have,his3 Nasmith who helped us and guided us to make basketball simpler and easy. Thank you, Miss Nasmith! Exhibition games for the Junior Squad proved to be the best, as they won all their exhibition games. - Poin sz - in 5 league games RUBY LEASK - 50 JOANNE NOSILNKO - 20 .
