16 RUPERT'S LAND COLLEGE MAGAZINE SPORTS REPORT During the season 1932-33 our energies were confined to basketball in the winter months and tennis during May and June. Eldred Jenkins was elected sports captain, and she worked enthusiastically throughout the year. In September we had to build up practically a new team as most of the girls who played during the previous year had left school, but the girls worked hard and soon the standard of play showed improvement. Shooting and guarding were good in both first and second teams, but passing, especially in the center court, was weak. We played against Riverbend School this year, and in both matches Riverbend iirst team and our second team carried the honours. In the Clark cup match, the Old Girls retained the first team cup, but our second team was victorious. During the spring term, inter- House and Form' matches were played. Machray House and Grade X gained most points. . First Team. P. Richards, E. Jenkins, V. Major, K. Saunders, J. Watson, K. Clarke. Second Team. A. Cameron, V. McGregor, M. K. Florance, L. Cub- bidge, J. Pratt, H. Cameron. FIRST TEAM CRITICISM. Forwards: E. Jenkins CCaptainJ, a strong steady player with good shooting powers. J. Watson, a reliable forward. Jumping Centre: P. Richards, a neat strong player, and the mainstay of the team. Running Centre: K. Clarke, a good guard, but her passing is erratic. Guards: V. Major and K. Saunders, persistent and reliable guards. Tennis. The court was kept very busy this season before school, at recess, noon and after school, the weather afford- ing many opportunities for practice, and play improved generally.

18 RUPERT'S LAND COLLEGE MAGAZINE OUR GUIDES 'Tis not for love of fame we bring Our work before the public eyeg But 'tis for quite another thing, And this the reason why. When others show they are in need We try to play the game, And often do a kindly deed In the Guide Movement's name. During the year 1932-33 we were busy at work and play. A variety of badges were won, ranging from Life Savers to Cooks. Eight of the Guides, after attending lectures from a General Hospital graduate, were able to qualify for their Sick Nurse badge. The Infirmary became a busy centre in those days for poulticing and bandaging. The weather was not always kind to us when we planned hikes and treasure hunts, but we remembered the Eighth Law- and did our best. On February 14th, we entertained a Ukrainian Company of Guides, serving tea and playing games. Our Guides took part in the Rally held in May at the Amphitheatre, appearing in the march past, the human flag, folk dancing, the pageant and the singing around the camp fire. We were sorry to say good-bye to Peggy Moor- house, leader of the Red Rose Patrol. News has reached us that she is now a Robin in a Guide Company in the East. The Guides had a very happy year, and are looking forward to another one. 'I' 'X' 'I' BROWNIES The Brownies were very sad last Christmas when their Brown Owl fMrs. Chownj was flying away to another part of the forest. However they did not forget the Brownie smile, and when Brown Owl promised to come back as often as possible to see them, the smile turned to a real grin. All winter long the Brownies worked hard in their homes under the trees, and when spring came two or three of them were quite ready for second class badges, and the others were all trying hard to catch up to them. The springtime has such a nice exciting feeling in the air, as though thousands of secrets and lovely things were waiting to be found, and it was then that we found six new Brownies who wanted to join the pack. When they were all ready to be enrolled, the former Brown Owl flew back to see them, and the Eagle Owl CMiss Millardb came into the forest and performed the ceremony. Naturally there was great excitement amongst all the Brownies, and when the new ones had been enrolled, the whole pack showed their visitors some of the things they had learned during the winter. The most important was a first aid demonstration, so that all their Fathers and
