Vox Fluminis 29 t 1 We stand for the right, In any well rounded school programme Physical Education must occupy a very definite place. River- bend, which never lags behind in any respect, has steadily maintained an active and interesting sport's programme. A marked and commendable feature this year was the hearty co-operation afforded by the -entire school. The girls entered whole heartedly into basketball, volleyball, bowling, tennis, badminton, baseball, gymnastics, swimming, and horseback rid- ing. - The school was very proud of the spirit of true sportsmanship displayed by the teams at all times, whether losing or winning, thus proving the fact that sports have played a valuable part in the educa- tion of the girls at Riverbend. It has been greatly to our advantage to have the privilege of holding practices o-at the regulation size courts for basketball and volleyball provided in our gymnasium. Inter-school basketball was played against Rupert's Land and St. Mary's. The Junior and Second Senior teams made a great showing. Each losing but one game in the series. The interchange between schools was beneficial and most enjoyable. Inter-house games were arranged in volleyfball, and bowling, Garry winning the cup for the former, and Douglas for the latter. The house awards for We fight Cl good fightf, badminton, tennis, and basketball have not yet been decided. Much enthusiasm greeted the performance given at the gym display by the junior school, who had been patiently and successfuly trained by Mrs. Low. As this group will supply material for future teams, we are delighted that they have been given such a thorough foundation. No small part of the credit for the success of the year goes to our beloved Mrs. Sadler, who never spared herself, never showed partiality and was always an example of all that sports should mean in the life of a school. MARJORY-LYNN MCINTYRE, Sports Captain. BADIWINTON There was great interest taken in badminton this year especially with some of the new girls who had never played this exciting game before. Two girls have been chosen from each house to play for the Badminton Cup which is given to the winning House each year. The girls have shown us some good competition and a lot of house spirit. These games have now been completed with Nelson House win- ning the coveted cup. Due to the exams and the Gym Display we were later than usual in starting the badminton- MARGUERITE PURKESS, Grade XII, Garry Hall.
