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

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.

' j Mtm ' yr Hodwj This season has been a mixture of hope and disappointment; the disappointment of the past and the hope of the fu¬ ture. The Bantam A Hockey Team was in a transitional year, not playing in an organized league, but training itself to provide a basis for a team next year. The players have worked hard and many have shown a radical improvement. On this we base our hopes for a greater success next year in the won-lost record, but we will consider next year a success even if all we succeed in doing is having as much fun. The team wishes to thank Mr. Bredin for his help and quiet words of advice on the ice.

So far this season we have played 11 games and won 3. A few of those losses were very close and we might have been able to salvage a win had luck been on our side. Some of our losses, however, were strictly caused by bad mistakes and disorganization. At other times we were just plain outclassed against the champs. We lost 9-0. When we did win it was a hard fought battle, and our team proved that they had determination. At times the team looked very good, and it seemed like we were going to win easily. On three or four occasions we were winning at the end of the first period but could not hold the lead. We still have a few more games to play and we hope to improve our record. Everyone enjoyed the games we played, and we would like to thank Mr. Stewart for his coaching and all of the people who supported the team during games. 60
