The guest speaker was Mr. Gary Dineen of the Canadian National Hockey Team. Mr. Dineen stressed to the boys present the value of a higher education, and the necessity in striving in order to achieve. After his speech the prizes were distributed to individual and team winners. Young House, as expected, won several of the individual and senior team trophies. The other prizes The school’s track contingent was not as large as it might have been, but those composing it made a very stropg showing in the Zone Twelve Track Meet and a respectable one in the Provincials. Individuals went to the Zone Twelve Track Meet, and if successful, were to represent Zone Twelve in the Provincials. Ravenscourt virtually swept the Zone Tewlve and as a result sent six men to the Provincials. They were Mark Dallas, 880 yard run, Clive McEwen, triple and broad jump, Bob Dunstan and Brian Spooner, the mile and 880 yard run, John Macbeth, triple jump and the 220 yard run, and John Hutchings, discus. The team managed only two thirds; one in the triple jump by Clive McEwen and one in the mile by Bob Dunstan. With a little effort next year, S.J.R. boys ought to make a bigger splash than last year. We should like to thank Mr. Harding and Mr. Glegg for their time in transporting us to and from the meets and for organizing the team. 2 )uum were divided up fairly evenly. Richardson House, for the second time in a row, was successful in winning the Master’s Shield. With the final term drawing near, and much of the athletic year now finished we can look upon the up¬ coming Athletic Dinner as a symbol of one of the finest athletic years that S.J.R. has ever had. It is our hope that next year will be even better than this. yf tmd Mifimi Moulden Memorial Trophy (Best Rugby Player) Clive McEwen Cory Cup (Broad Jump Champ) Clive McEwen Desmond Cox Cup (Open Mile) Bob Dunstan Taylor Cup (High Jump Champ) David Gargett Templeton Cup (Sr. Track and Field) John Macbeth Chisholm Cup (Int.

Horn Ttyonti, JlidmdmHow Richardson House was off to a good start this year with wins in senior soccer and senior football. Although we had very strong teams in senior football both last year and the year before, this is the first time we have been able to win that particular event. In senior cross-country, Richardson allowed itself to be defeated in order that the other teams would not give up too early in the season. In House hockey we appear to be very strong and should be able to put on a good show in all divisions. House basketball and volleyball are soon to be contested and we are looking forward to both these events. If we receive a good turn out for track and field we should be able to win the Masters Shield for the third year in a row. I would like to thank all those who worked for Richardson House this year and especially Mr. Wellard, Mr. Glegg, Mr. Broderick, and Mr. Penaluna for their fine job in administrating House activities. The year, 1968, is the year of Hamber House. As well as showing its prowess academically, Hamber House took to the playing fields with equal vigor and determination as will be shown at the Athletic Dinner in the spring when they will walk off with the Master’s Shield. As the house games get under way in the fall with football, likewise, so did Hamber’s dominant teams get under¬ way in accomplishing their l ong string of victories which continued throughout the year. In football, Hamber’s Junior team demonstrated its superiority by winning both its games and thus, capturing the title. However, in the Intermediate division, the team did not fare so well as they lost both of their games but displayed insurmountable courage and sportsmanship. The Seniors, playing against terrific odds, fought valiantly against Richardson House but were defeated. However, in the second game, Hamber toppled Young House, and thus, gained a second place finish. In soccer, Hamber again showed its superiority and prowess. In the Junior division, the team took to the field and completely dominated play as they clobbered their opponents by scores of 2-0 and 5-0. In the Senior division, the team put up a valiant fight in the first game, tieing Young House because of a last minute goal scored by Young House on a penalty shot. In the second game, the team pla yed well but was beaten, surprisingly, by a superior team. In the Cross-Country competition, Hamber again showed its superiority by placing first in the overall standings. This was accomplished as the house placed first in the Intermediate division and second in both the Senior and Junior divisions. With hockey and track and field yet to be played, Hamber is gaining momentum towards obtaining the ul¬ timate goal in winning the Master’s Shield, and this, I am sure, is inevitable. At this point, I would like to express the House’s appreciation and thanks to the House Masters, Mr. McLeod, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Olsen and Mr. Chorney in leading Hamber House to all of its present victories and the many vic¬ tories which are to follow in the spring. LfoM] Horn Young House, under the guidance of Mr. Ainley, is looking forward to a fine year, and perhaps even the House Shield. Since academics were introduced into the House System, Young has faced unbelievable odds in its attempt to collect enough points to win the House Shield even though it has proved itself to be the best House in the school athletically. This year is quite different. Instead of a two hundred point deficit from academics, it is back to back with its less illustrious counterparts and can look more and more towards first place. Athletically, Young House has suffered somewhat in that it has lost a good many of its senior players. However, the Senior division gained a second in soccer and in all likelihood will win both hockey and basketball. The younger divisions are stronger than in previous years and we expect to receive many house points from them. It is a well known fact that Young will dominate Track and Field as it has done for many years. To next year’s Young House, ' good luck’, although from all indications it won’t be necessary. 46
