SECOND: Allison, Smith, Thompson, Wood, Richardson, Kilgour, Mr. Penaluna. FRONT: Campbell, MacIntyre, Spooner, Kobrinsky, I. MacDonald. This year the team started its league schedule with an unexpected four game winning streak. This surprized not only the team, but the coach as well. Having a few veteran players in Brian Spooner and David Wood, the Eagles are antici¬ pating a victory in the league championship. The highlight of the season was to see our zone defence baffle the finest team we played. In our remaining games the team expects to collect many more points as plays open up and the players themselves become more competent. The members of the team would like to thank Mr. Penaluna and Brian Spooner for coaching the team on its road to success. $WM (JdktfU The juniors had a very successful season this year as compared with last. We lost all our games last year; however, this year we won two games against General Byng and Fort Richmond, the rest we lost only by very slim margins. Much support was given by Chris Wal¬ lace, Derek Riley, Jack Rowand, and John Barnes. On behalf of the team we would like to thank our coach Mr. Steward and Mr. McCracken our General Managers. Many thanks also goes to the team’s efforts throughout the year and the hope that next year will be even more successful. SECOND: Mr. Stewart, Brock, Mathews, Barnes, Malcolmson, Riley. FRONT: Krueger, Johnson, Wallace, Briggs, Rowand. 58

McLeod, Gibbons, Gillespie, Stanton, Brock, Morgan, Barnes, Dickson, Powell, Patterson, Wallace, Milne. FIRST: Mathews, Harris, Whittaker, McMorris, Lewkin, Young, Hammond, Richardson, Sauders, Forsythe, Rowand. Six man football provided sport for all the eager grade eights and nines during the fall. The name isn’t really suit¬ able because each team had ten men, but usually only six showed up per game. We had four captains — Mike Ham¬ mond, Mark Milne, Mike Lewkin, and John Barnes. The only casualty throughout the season was the morale of John Barnes’ team. We would like to extend our special thanks to the three referees who devoted their time to come out and referee the games. They were Mr. McLeod, Mr. Chorney and Mr. Gorrie. The session ended up with Mike Hammond’s team winning the trophy, Lewkins’ team taking the consolation prize and John Barnes’ team capturing the Booby Prize. SrtmwIjMte, Uolktftxd This season the school’s intermediate volleyball team has played very well. Because the team consisted entirely of grade ten players, we were caught between junior high and senior high leagues. Never-the-less the coach, Mr. Stewart, ar¬ ranged some games on an exhibitional basis. This was a somewhat ironic situation because our grade ten team’s aver¬ age age was reasonably lower than that of the opposition’s grade nine players. The challengers were from Pembina Crest, Viscount, Alexander, Richmond, and General Byng. General Byng later went on to win the Fort Garry division. This year, though not in an organized league, the team has shown outstanding effort. Next year many of us will be playing on the senior team, a time to which we are all looking forward. 57

wmSocwi FIRST: Rogers, Longstaffe, Lansky, Briggs, Burns, Waddell, Marden. SECOND: Mr. Wellard, Myers, Turchen, Mr. Stewart, Beach, Graham, Krueger, Mr. McCrachen. The school junior soccer team, although they came close, failed to win a game during the season. Their first two games were against Viscount Alexander, the latter winning 3-0 and 4-1. The team lost their third game to Pembina Crest 3-0. S.J.R. came close to defeating General Byng and Fort Richmond. The score in both games was 1-0. After the league games were over the team kept on practicing, only now the practices became much harder, in pre¬ paration for the game against the Intermediate team on the Father’s and Son’s Weekend. The practices paid off with the Juniors defeating the Intermediates 3-0. It is certain that if the team could have played as well at the start of the season like it did at the end, they could have won many more games. FRONT ROW: Bell, Noble, Mr. Stewart, Krueger, Malcolmson. BACK ROW: Rogers, Briggs, Longstaffe, Graham. The S.J.R. Junior High School Cross-Country team took part in four races this fall, three at St. Vital Park and one on our own course. The team varied from race to race, but the core centered around runners Briggs, Malcolmson, Noble, Mitchell, Bell, Longstaffe, Krueger, and Lower School runners Bond, d’Agincourt, and Quinton. The results were not as rewarding as in past years with the improvement of the opposition being much greater than our own. Noble and Bell managed to fin¬ ish in the top twenty on a few occasions, which might give an indication of things to come when they enter senior competition. Cross-country running requires a great deal of self- sacrifice for very few visible rewards, and all who took part willingly or unwillingly are to be commended for their efforts. A vote of thanks is also due to Mr. Wellard and Mr. McCracken for transporting runners to the course and for waiting patiently for the races to be completed. 59
