Pat Sparling has Worked very hard, coaching the girls in their sports. Early this year, we all enjoyed taking part in the Held day. Last term we succeeded in winning the volley ball cup, and this term we have had much enjoyment playing basketball with the other houses. This Christmas, as usual, Douglas sent gifts to the children at the Point Douglas Mission. Later we received a letter from their secretary, thanking us for our help. Claire Anderson, our secretary has been very efficient and deserves special credit for her weekly house-point lists. I would like to thank Mrs. Little, Miss Hall- dorson and the girls of Douglas for your co- operation and loyal help. Everyone in the house has done her best and has made me proud to be your prefect, I give my sincerest thanks for your interest and unfailing cooperation. NANCY SMITH. Page Seventeen

Interest in sports has flourished under the encouraging management of our capable sports captain Clem McNern. The basketball players, supported by many onlookers, succeeded in winning for York the much coveted basketball cup. The excellent sportsmanship displayed by all on field day, in volley ball games and in bowling has always been typical of York girls, and I hope this splendid quality will remain with them in years to come, Everyone has been trying eagerly to gain housepoints and with such individual effort on the part of every girl York can be proud of a wholehearted attempt for the shield. Our efii- cient secretary, Diane Johnson has brought to York a reputation for prompt and faultless house point lists. A delightful Christmas hamper was pr-epared this year, containing a large assortment of food. some clothing and even several toys. The family to which it was given were thrilled with its abundance and variety, and credit for their pleasure should go to all the girls who so will- ingly contributed to it. For the unfailing support and loyal house spirit which Miss Shepley, Miss Dickson and the girls have consistently offered all year, and for the great privilege of York's prefect, I give my sincerest thanks.

Photo by Harold White Studio GARRY HALL IT is almost the end of another year and sum- mer holidays are not far off. We may thrill at the thought of freedom in the great outdoors but we will always look fondly upon those wonderful times we had at school. Which one of you could ever forget those completely ex- exhausting but completely marvellous basket- ball games or those tantalizing moments in volley ball when the ball barely dribbled over the net. Yes, we played our part in inter-House games and although we didn't draw the blue ribbon there, we did carry home the Junior Field Day and bowling cups, and to show that we were not solely athleitically-minded, we successfully secured first place in the housepoint race at Christmas. Then, at this same season of the year, all the girls at Garry Hall con- tributed with great enthusiasm to our annual hamper-a hamper that would have warmed the hearts of any family. But we could not have achieved this success by ourselves, We are greatly indebted to our teachers, Mrs. Price, Mrs. McEwen, and Miss Arnold for their understanding and helping hand through all the year, to Betty Anne Run- ner, our sports captain, for her continuous en- thusiasm throughout all our sportsg and to Cecily Ann Gunn, our secretary, who has so ably fulfilled her position during the past school months. The unfailing sportsmanship and complete cooperation of Garry Hall have helped to make this year an unforgetable period in the history of Riverbend school. I will always remember the wonderful times we have had together, at Garry, and can so honestly say that I have been extremely proud to have been your prefect for the year 1948-1949. CAROLE WALLICK.
