VOX FLUMINIS 17 terest continues to prevail and the weather forecast remains favorable, it is hoped that in the near future an inter-house riding meet will possibly be held, which will provide fun not only for the contestants, but is guaran- teed to amuse even the most cynical onlooker. Riding looks forward to more Wednesdays of fun ! ! C.H. SWIMMING S USUAL, a great deal of interest has been taken in the swimming this year. The annual swimming meet held on May 19th, 1937, at the Y.W.C.A., was a pronounced success. The various events were run off well, and Garry House, carrying off top honors, sank Douglas and York by wide margins. Since last September there has been even a larger group attending the Wed- nesday afternoon swimming classes reg- ularly. It will not be long now before we shall be making preparations for the 1938 meet, which is to be held in May. This year there will be four houses- Douglas, Garry, York, and Nelson- competing, instead of three, as in previ- ous meets. Thus we are hoping that the coming gala will go down as one of the most successful in the history of River- bend. M.D. 11 BADMIN TON NOTES FITHE Badminton, this year, has been a ,L great success. Interest in it has in- creased considerably. Saturday morn- ing has become a momentous occasion for our players. We can't say that we are all Jack Purcells, but we do have a good time. We may truthfully say that since the beginning of the year our playing has improved. At the first of the season the badminton was opened by a doubles Round Robin, the prizes were presented by Miss Carter to Betty Slater and Ruth Rich. Several other Round Robins were held at intervals SECOND BASKETBALL TEAM Mrs. Kobold, Eileen Gray, Peggy Murray, Janet Edgar, Ruth Rich, Shirley Cruikshank, Eloise Edmond, Anne Shaw, Iris Norman.

P.M. RIDING AT RIVERBEND AST fall a number of enthusiastic girls found themselves out at the Cambridge Riding Academy, and in due time atop their steeds. Misgivings arose among those faint-hearted ones, but such fears were soon dispelled after another two or three Wednesdays, and each felt sure she was the best horse- woman in the school. Alas for those who became a little too swell-headed, for then they experienced a spill-but it was not so far to the ground and they were encouraged by the fact that to be a good rider one must necessarily fall off nine times. It was wvithregret that the season stopped when winter closed down on that happy hour on Wednes- day. Now, however, winter is behind these riders and the spring is here to lure the back to fields and woods. - It cannot be overlooked how riding during this year has drawn to its ranks more supporters. If such a growing in-

Three teams were formed by each side-Miss Carter and Miss Grant vs. Jean Vinson and Mary Rose MacKenzie, Miss Crawshaw and Miss McKinnon vs. Iris Norman and Miss Sheffield vs. Ruth Rich and Eloise Edmond. The teams were closely matched and showed a great deal of fine playing.
