BOWLING Every Monday after school hours Miss Martin and many enthusiastic girls bowl at the Mall. Before Christmas a keen competition was car- ri-ed on between the houses. Nelson and York took part in the play-off games. Nelson came out on top, although the scores were very close. June Baker won the prize or the highest bowling average. Since Christmas bowling has been continued as usual except that there is individual competi- tion instead of house competition. The girls enjoy bowling and appreciate Miss Martin's help and interest. CATHERINE ANDERSON. BASKETBALL Basketball has always been the most popular sport at Riverbend. This year there were only two senior teams and one junior team, whereas in the previous years there were three senior. A great deal can be said for the energy and enthusiasm with which the first team carried out the season's schedule. The second team displayed excellent teamwork. Interest and team spirit were maintained throughout the year by the juniors. This year our basketball teams played the Kenora High School basketball teams both at Kenora and in our own gym. This was a new venture and the girls enjoyed it very much. The girls are especially grateful to Miss Mc- Kinnon, who is responsible for the visible improvement in the teams this year, and for lay- ing the groundwork for next year's teams. C. DOWLER, M. MACINTOSH, L. HUGGARD. VOLLEYBALL The volleyball inter-house league was begun early this year. The games were very close and the teams had the enthusiastic support of their houses. Nelson House won the volleyball cup for this year, At present we are attempting to arrange for competitions with volleyball teams from other schools, but these arrangements are not yet underway. BADMINTON Like all other sports this year practice time has been cut short and as a result there has not been a great deal of badminton played. The different houses held their practices on Satur- day mornings and at noon hour. During April the annual tournament started and the houses were out in full force to support their players. GWEN ALSIP. THE BALLET RIVERBEND School is indeed grateful to the Winnipeg Ballet for sending some of their leading dancers here to teach the girls. The classes, which are held on Mondays and Wed- nesdays, are under the supervision of Miss Joan Stirling and her assistant, Miss Joyce Clark. The accompaniment on the piano is played by Miss Ruth Gordon. Each class is now busy learning a dance for the Lilac Tea, which will be held in May out- side on the lawn. Much enjoyment is obtained from these classes besides the satisfaction of learning a distinguished art. J oAN RoBER'rs.
