Senior Girls ' Basketball This year’s team had the potential to take the provincial championship, unfortunately we lost by 1 point in the final seconds of the final game. It was an anti-climax to a fine season. T he league record was 15 wins and no losses, the record for the year was 27 wins and 3 losses. We attended 3 tournaments and placed first in 2 of them. We won the city and South-Sask. championships. Only 3 people are graduating from the team, so next year’s team should be even better. We would like to thank all our supporters and we hope even more will support next year’s team. BACK ROW: Karen Booth, Linda McNabb, Lynda Sundeen, Rene Robertson, Laurie Thorsteinson, (mgr.)

Junior Girls ' Basketball The junior girls this year had a tairlv successful season. We ended the year tied for fourth place with three other schools. In the Marian Invitational Tournament we lost a close first game to Miller, won the second but lost in the consolation final to Thom. The spirit on the team was great and appreciation goes to our coach, Sandy Hous¬ ton and captain Moira Moxley. Even though the team lacked experience, as we only had four players back on from last year, we all had a successful year.

Girls ' Volleyball This year the team, with eight holdovers and five promising rookies, started the season very well. They .were undefeated in league play but due to’ unforeseen circumstances, four first stringers were declared ineligible. This left the team somewhat weaker in experience but they finished the season fairly well. Fortunately the whole team was allowed to play in the University of Sask. Invitational Tournament. There the team was unde¬ feated and in the final beat Lumsden, who later won the provincial. I’d like to congratu¬ late this year’s team for an excellent effort and thank Miss Downing for her valuable coaching. The graduates wish next year’s team all the best and if all potential is used, predictions indicate that Sheldon should again have a strong winning team. Robin Evans

Girls ' Sports A Jill McFarland Girls’ Spoi ls Directoress The year 1969-70 can be chalked up as another successful athletic year at Sheldon Williams. The Sports season unfolded with girls’ volleyball. Due to an unfortunate misunderstanding, four of our first string players were unable to play in the league this year. However, to show what our team could do, they beat Lumsden in an open University tournament. Lumsden went on to win the provincial. As it was, our team came fourth in the city. The team shows a lot of potential and promises great things next year. Many thanks to our coach, Miss Downing. In house volleyball, Omega Seniors finished first with Epsilon capturing top spot in the Junior division. The softball team, placing third in the city play¬ offs, came out with an even number of wins and losses. The team expresses their appreciation to their 1 coaches, Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Boychuck. Delta took the house softball division title. We should be very proud of our girls’ cross coun¬ try team this year. The girls captured all three divi¬ sions for the city meets and were led by Robin Evans in the Seniors, Shelley Parr in the Juniors, and Bonnie Thorsteinson in the Midget division. Also, the Senior Girls took the trophy in the provincial meet. The Senior Girls’ Basketball team had a near perfect record in the 69-70 season, capturing the city and South Sask. titles as well as two tournaments. The girls won the coveted Miss W. Downing trophy at the C.l.T. a first for Sheldon. After an exciting provincial final, however, Sheldon lost to Nutana, Sa ' skatoon by one point. Congratulations go to the girls, and Miss Downing, their coach. The Junior girls’ team, coached by Miss Sandy Houston, had a fairly good season, placing third in the city. In house basketball, Alpha Seniors and Epsilon juniors took first place. Our girls curling team, skipped by Barb Pollock, did exceptionally well this year. After capturing the West City title, the girls went to the provincial where they came up against some tougher competition and lost out in the best out of three city playoffs against Campbell, Sheldon lost in thesecond and third games. The position of Girls’ Sports Directoress has been a challenging yet very satisfying one this year due to the fact that I have very keen and capable sports reps to assist me. My sincerest thanks also go to my advisors, Miss Downing and Mr. Aston. 80 Jill McFarland Renee Robertson Alpha Robin Evans Della Wendy Mitchell Kappa Shelley Parr Omega Denise Bean Beta Laurie Sims Epsilon Lynn Cronk Lambda Janet Crosby Sigma
