Our endurance and courage, together with the competent and very generous support of our Coach, Miss Lillian Duggall, enabled us to reach a very high standard in an mhnitely short time. - I We enjoyed our practices at Lillian Massey Gym immensely. Throughout the season perfect harmony 127 prevailed and this too, in spite of the tact that there was neither sheik nor man connected with the team, in any way, shape or form. Rather a jolt I think, for the specious- and prevalent notion that masculine suavity is wholly essential for harmony among maidens. Our games were with CCE., St. Hilda's and Victoria, and though falling short in the score, en- thusiasm and stick-to-it-iveness was ever high. .

The material was all that could be expected, and we must needs fall back on that time-honoured alibi Hluelcl' to explain our eventual defeat. Taking a lead of Five runs in the early stages of the deciding game against Vie., St. Mike's failed to cinch their advantage, and were nosed out by one run in the last half of the last inning. The linal score was 8-7. The first of the season saw the hopefuls rounding into shape by taking into Camp such worthy opponents as Knox and Trinity by ten runs or more. But-well, anyhow, we'll get that eup next year. Manager King succeeded in signing up some mighty dark horses from among the freshmen.

After Christmas the schedule was drawn up, and we found ourselves grouped with junior S.P.S. and Q.C.E. The first game was with Junior School. VVe started off with a lead, but S.P.S. slowly caught up, and at the end of the hrst period were in the lead. In the beginning of the second period School again forged ahead, but towards the end of the game we made an exciting rally, but it proved a few seconds too late, and we lost our first game, 21-20. The second game was with O.C.E. Good combination and steady shooting, together with the famous live-man defence, resulted in a 17-S win
