THE EAGLE 29 March 14, Rupert's Land II, vs. Riverbend II, 14-22, lost. March 14, Rupert's Land I, vs. St. Mary's I, 13-24, l-ost. March 21, Rupert's Land I, vs. St. Mary's I, 22-35, lost. March 21, Rupert's Land Jr., vs. St. Mary's Jr., 16-22, lost. A total of 216 goals was scored by all our teams during the Inter-Schol games. The aver- age number of points scored in each game for each team came out as follows: First team-33 points. Second team-16.2 points. Junior team-21.8 points. Several special games, outside of the Inter- School League, were played this year, one of the most interesting of which was the game played at the school on January 25th between the First and Second Teams of Kenora High School and Rupert's Land. The First Team game was one of the most thrilling games played this year, for from start to finish both teams were closely matched. In the last period some especially good play was witnessed by the numerous and responsive spec- tators. Amid their thundering cheers the teams scored goal for goal, and as the final whistle blew, Kenora had won with a score of 24-22. The Second Team game, although not as spec- tacular, was a very good game to watch, and the teams enjoyed playing it. In this game our team won with a score of 49-10. After the game, all the teams celebrated with a turkey dinner at The Homesteadf' Un- fortunately this year hias been too full to allow a return trip for us to Kenora, but we are earnestly hoping for an opportunity next year, to play our new Kenora friends on their own floor. Another special game was played at the school on March 27th, when our First Team had the pleasure of playing a team from Normal School. It was a good game and both teams played hard from start to finish. It was an especially good game when we consider that the Normal School Team had only been in prac- tice for a little over two months. Our team won with a score of 32-18, and we certainly hope to 'play them again next year. The last special game of the season was played at the school on Friday, March the 28th, when our First and Second Teams played the Alumnae, more affectionately known as 'tThL Old Girls. This annual game was played in a friendly spirit, rather than a competitive one, and was thoroughly enjoyed by both teams and 'E JENNIFER MCQUEEN spectators. As it turned out, both our teams won-the First Team with a score of 47-22, and the Second Team with a score of 35-17. After the game the teams enjoyed cokes and dough- nuts in the common room. At this point we should like to thank two people who have carried on a most valuable but thankless job for all the teams, Janet Cameron, our score-keeper, and Babs Cameron, our time-keeper, who have carried on this job very competently. Thanks a lot, girls. INTER-HOUSE SPORTS An extremely active and enthusiastic interest was taken by everyone in house sports this year. The basketball games were thrilling and both teams and spectators were exhausted by the end of the games. Dalton won the series, Machray came second, Jones came third, and Matheson came fourth. Two senior series of inter-house volleyball were played, and one intermediate series, which were equally good. The results appear below: Senior I-Matheson 91, Dalton 78, Jones 75, Machray 57. Senior I1-Matheson 45, Jones and Dalton 36, Machray 35. Intermediate-Dalton 42, Machray 38, Jones 28, Matheson 18.

THE EAGLE 31 nitiatinn Eng Someone come and help me stuff this pillow into my shirt! Did anyone see a snow-shoe? Here's someone's bathing suit! Such was the conversation in the Grade Eleven classroom on October fourth, the night of the initiation party, as the innocents were ill.

They did not wear their usual If-you-don't-wear-a-hat-I'll-give- the hall and modelled their costumes before the girls and staff, Pat Hardiman, resembling a typical charwoman, was awarded the coveted title Miss Rupert's Land, 1946-473' The other girls were dressed in every unbelievable garb ranging from that of a white and brown spotted dog, to that of a mermaid CRosemary O'Neail and Dorothy McClay, respectivelyl. Jackie Langtry looked especially odd in a bathing suit, parka and snowshoes, and Ruth Harron, a dunce, typified the kind of students we hope are never found in Rupert's Land. The council arranged a program of Truth or Consequences, conducted by Jennifer Mc- Queen, Master of Ceremonies. Elaine Dobbs, dressed as an aged old man, who gave an ex- hausting exhibition of 'tjitterbuggingf' was awarded a special prize. Other worthy per- formances Were Betty Cooper's valiant attempt to eat a ball of stringg Rosalind Johnson's duo. representation of a schoolmarm and her pupils, and Joyce Benham's jump into the sea.

Sandwiches and cakes were served with punch to both the spectators and the newly initiated old girls -the latter were especially in dire need of refreshment of some sort. As the initiates slowly wended their way out of the Gym they were indeed glad it was all over, but now felt themselves fully pledged members of Rupert's Land. MARY TUCKER, CGrade XI.J
