GAMES S.J.R. vs. GLENLAWN, 3-1—This was the first game of the season and the team had been formed only the previous evening. It was a bit ragged and plenty rough, but the “Eagles” won by a good margin. Goals were by Cunningham, Radymski, and Savage. S.J.R. vs. VISCOUNT ALEXANDER, 3-1—Doig, Green, and Mollard picked off the points as we defeated Viscount on our own ice. S.J.R. vs. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN, 2-4—The third game of the season was played at the “Sir John” rink in thirty below weather, and we found we had a real hockey player in the person of Karl Radymski, who scored both our goals. S.J.R. vs. ST PAULS, 0-5—The bigger and superior St. Pauls trounced us in an action packed game. Bell played a solid game at defence. S.J.R. vs. S.P.A. (St. Paul, Minn.), 1-2—This was the heartbreaker of the season when St. Paul beat us on home ice, in overtime. It was a very close and hard fought game. Karl, Frank, Ian, and Bell played their usual fine game. S.J.R. vs. VISCOUNT ALEXANDER, 2-0—Again we defeated Viscount in a rough, tough game. “Fergie” played his best games of the season. S.J.R. vs. ST. PAULS, 5-2—This game was fast and rough. Our defence played standout hockey, and Karl notched another goal. S.J.R. vs. VISCOUNT ALEXANDER, 4-0—Playing on home ice the “Eagles” swamped Viscount 4-0. Well done, “Eagles”! S.J.R. vs. ST PAULS, 2-6—This game was played on a Saturday morning and only seven members of our squad were on hand at the Olympic rink. Well done Clint Young of junior ranks for a fine game. JUNIOR HOCKEY The Junior Hockey League consisted of Viscount Alexander, Grandin, and St. John’s-Ravenscourt schools. Grandin dropped out after one game, because it was unable to maintain a team. We played Viscount twice, and lost both games. Because of this and our single win against Grandin, there were no finals. Thirty-six EAGLE

Hockey The new St. John’s-Ravenscourt hockey team was ably coached by Mr. Charles MacMillan, and through his untiring efforts and assistance the team came out on top in all but three games. THE TEAM Ian Doig— captain and left wing, was the most valuable player on the squad. Karl Radymski —forward, was a shifty stick handler and a hard man to hit. Frank Green— forward, played clean, hard hockey. Together with Doig and Radymski these three seldom missed when in front of the net. ( laig Bell— played a standout game at defence and seldom let anyone past him. He threw the hardest body checks on the team. Bill Mollard —at defence stopped many opposing rushes. Lloyd Mitchell —played forward and displayed his never-tiring brand of hockey. Bruce Cunningham —centre, also proved his worth as a defenceman in house hockey. Jim Hare— had the hardest shot on the team. “Goof” is a good all-round player. Tony Ferguson —this has undoubtedly been “Fergie’s” best year in the nets. Garry Savage noted for his heavy checks. He never passed up a chance for a scrap in the corners. Jim Martin, Jack Lamb, and Glen Thompson —played good hockey all season. J EAGLE Thirty-five

Our team included the following players: George Mitchell (captain), Jim Calder, Dave and Donald Drybrough, John Richardson, Ted Allan, David Sellers, Alan Laing, Douglas Clark, Grant Schroeder, Brian Alty, Lawrence Adams, Bruce Wilson, Fraser Stewart, Ronald Zettergren, Dennis Williams, Gilbert Cook. We are sorry the results did not do justice to the hours of coaching given by Mr. Connell and Karl Radymski. Better luck next time. ★ ★ ★ ★ The Gym Display The annual gym display was held on the evening of April 27, and included nearly everything from Lower School games, exercises and drill, to some really good work on the parallel bars. Illuminated living tableaux of gilded figures in athletic poses were a feature of the evening. Pyramids, tumbling, and vaulting exercises were appreciated by the audience. A novelty act was staged by the Intermediate boarders. It was a square dance, in costumes of both sexes, and amused both spectators and participants. Two Senior clowns cluttered things at the right moments. Much credit is due to the Junior Circus, especially the elephants whose front and hind feet showed an amusing lack of teamwork when walking the “bench”. All in all, it was a good evening, thanks to Mr. Chapman and Mr. Burn. EAGLE Thirty-seven
