London Central vs. Sarnia The Sarnia squad met the London Central sextet for the first time, Friday, Feb. 8th, on the S.C.l. K T.S. During the hrst hallf of the game Dorothy Wfilliams went wild and topped in goal after goal, placing carnia in the lead at half time. llowever, Tim Mcliay and Dorothy XX'illiams were put out of the game because of fouls. They were re- placed by Edna Laugher and Mar- garet DeCou, both of whom did ex- cellent work. The London defense checked more closely while Mary XYong, the fast Londoner, piled up the London Score. Dnce more the . arn'ia C. l. Sz T. S. took the short end with a score of .21-28. Sir Adam Beck vs. Sarnia Sarnia Collegiate girls turned in the surprise of the VV.0.S.S.A. Basketball season on Friday, Feb. 15th, when they stepped into the hitherto unbeaten Beck Collegiate with all enthusiasm and won a 28-26 decision at the Collegiate gym here. From the start Sarnia took the lead and never lost it once throughout the game, the half-time score being I6-IO. The London girls came back into the game with fresh fighting spirit, which kept the Sarnia squad jumping to keep the long end of the score. Dorothy XYilliams' accurate shooting certainly did much in the way of encouraging the defense line: her score alone being in the neiighlborhood of 16 points. Score 26-28. London Central vs. Sarnia In the London Central gym on Friday, Feb. 22nd, the local girls de- feated the Londoners by a score of 23-18.

Half-time score 10-6 in Sarnia's favour. Final score 23-18. London Technical vs. Sarnia The Sarnia girls turned in one of the best games of the season in their own gym on Friday, March Ist, when they defefated the team from the Technical School. At the be-

BASKETBALL To an onloolcer, it might have seemed as though there wasn't going to be much material for a girls' basketball team this' year, since only 4 members of last yearls line-up are still wfith us. Although several of our girls are young, they have had a considerable amount of experience in public schools, which has proven a great advantage. In the line-up we find Captain Daisie Richards, Velma Kearns, Ed- na Laugher, Patricia Palmer, Doro- thy lYilliams, Ruth Forber, Millicent Hall, Hazel Brown, Margaret DeCou, Dorothy Rintoul and Thelma Mciiayg Patsy Collins, Manager. Marjorie Paterson, Madeline Reeves, Mae Kennedy and Dorothy Simpson also deserve credit for their support during practices. This season Sarnia found itself grouped once more with London. The grouping includes London South C. I., London Technical.Schooi London Central C. I., Sir Adam Beck Col. and Sarnia C. I. and T. S. London South vs. Sarnia The first lY.Q.S.S.A. game of the season was staged in London South gym on Saturday, Jan. 10th. The school team played a good game but were unable to check the wild on- slaught of Hazel Cole, the star Lon- don forward. The final score was 33-15 in London's favour. London Technical vs. Sarnia In the London Technical School on Friday, Jan. 25th, a very closely contested game was played before a large crowd of interested spectators. The Sarnia defense line checked the sure shots of the Tech. girls while the forwards piled up the score. The score was tied just as the whistle IDIGXR'-II-I I. London South vs. Sarnia The return game with London South C. I. was played before a mere handful of people on Friday, February Ist. T-he first half score was 6-IO. In the second half Edna

ll-4 THE CO LL EGIATE ginning of the season these two teams played a tie game, score II-I I. In this game, however, the S.C.l. team kept the long end of the score throughout, with the score 19-I3 in their favour at half-time. Pat Pal- mer played her steadiest game this year but failed to overtake Dorothy lYilliams' high scoring ability. lelelen Mittleholt was the chief scorer for London. Score 29-22. At this time, we. the Basketball team take this opportunity for showing our appreciation toward Miss Robertson, Patsy Collins, and the several other girls who assisted, for the different kindnesses shown towards us this season. O INTER-FORM BASKETBALL- There was keen competition, es- pecially among the lower forms, in the inter-form basketball tourna- ment this season. A better brand is being encouraged than has been formerly played in this particular schedule. The forms which came out on top were: 5th form Coll. for the senior division, and 2C Coll., for the juni-ors. The winning teams: 5th form-Captain Audrey Ham- met, Augora Rollins, Geraldine Steele, Elaine Vtloodrowe, Pauline Mills, an-d Mary Maclntyre. 2C Coll.-Captain Dorothy Cooper, Evelyn Kilbreath, Betty Wfright, Madeline Reeves, XVinnifred Dal- mage and Annie Laurie. FIELD DAY This year the combined field day of the girls and boys was not held as in past years. Owing to rugby practices the boys found it advisable to postpone their events without the spring. The girls, however, decided to hold their events without the boys and amid ideal weather the events were run off. The competi- tion was very keen and interesting. Among t.he events were baseball and basketball throwing for distance, baseball throwing in teams of two, dashes and high and broad jumps. Madeline Reeves of 2A Collegiate carried off the Senior honours with a total of 8 points. Marjorie Pat- terson of 3A Collegiate was the In- termediate Champion and Ettie Rainlsberry of IC Collegiate, Junior winner. O X GIRLS' SWIMMING To swim or not to swim, that is the questionf' Swimming has become one of the outstanding activities of the school and every year this sport is increas- ing in popularity. Although there are no interscholastic competitions in which those interested may take part, yet several aquatic meets are arranged each year. The iirst which officially opened the swimming was held in the fall and the events con- sisted of long, plunge, crawl, breast, back and side strokes, life saving, fancy swimming, diving and free style race. I Patricia Palmer, swimming cur- ator, received her bronze medallion last year. No other girls took life- saving tests. The girls are allowed the use of the pool every Wednesdlay after four and one gym period every two weeks. This work hfas been most profitable in that a great many girls have learned to swim and to receive some knowledge of life-saving. The most efficient of these will form the life-saving team for this year.
