Hockey Activities In hockey the S.C.I. remained undefeated throughout the winter. Shortly after Christ¬ mas the S.C.I. defeated Goodwill High in Grunthal, 12-2. The return game, played at our carnival, resulted in an 11-1 score for the S.C.I. A team was entered in the Molloy Shield Juvenile Play downs. Only two of the regular players were ineligible to participate because of the age limit. The first game was played against the strong St. Pierre team. The S.C.I. won 12-2. The uneven score v as due chiefly to a determination which is sel¬ dom seen in a Steinbach team. This victory brought the Molloy Shield to Steinbach for the first time in its history. The S.C.I. was then challenged by Maison St. Joseph’s Home. With the same determination as in the previous game the boys won 11-5 in a fast, hard fought game, keeping the lovely Molloy Shield in S.C.I. possession. A chal¬ lenge by St. Pierre the following week re¬ sulted in a score of 10-0 for the S.C.I. This gives the S.C.I. an average of eleven goals per game scored by them as compared to two goals per game scored against them. Our very capable coach this year was Johnny Barkman. LaVern Loewen was top scorer of the team. He scored twelve times in these Molloy games. Since only a few of this year’s players will be ineligible next season we hope to have a strong team next year.

Football at School This year’s football season was more suc¬ cessful than any other so far. We played two games of touch rugby, one with Grunthal and one with M.B.C.I. in Winnipeg. Later in the season two games of tackle football were played, after school hours, with the Blumen- hof School. The season opened with the usual game against Grunthal. The game was played on a windy, sunny afternoon on our ho me grid¬ iron. Our boys came through with a real “take,” winning the game 38 to 1. The score indicates the limited choice of players on Grunthal’s part. The next game was played in Winnipeg with M.B.C.I. The final score in that fracas: S.C.I. 45, M.B.C.I. 0. A feminine cheering section and a lunch after the game attracted the boys’ attention, but they played well, nevertheless. The first game of football played with Blumenhof ended in a 12-6 victory for Stein- bach. The boys slithered and skidded through the game on an inch of soggy fall snow. The second game was played in ideal football weather. The first half ended in a 12-0 score for Steinbach, after a hard-fought, fast, bat¬ tering thirty minutes of play. Then Blumen¬ hof smashed through for two more majors in the second half, but we tallied with one more touchdown. The last few minutes were played in literal darkness, and scoring con¬ cluded 18-12 in our favor at the final whistle. This coming fall we hope to sponsor a still better team. We are hoping to obtain some equipment which will make better playing possible. Sports Committee Report The sports committee has been very active during this school term. In early fall a rugby league was formed consisting of six teams playing during the recesses. J. R. Friesen ' s Garage donated a trophy which was won by Ray Wiebe’s team. A number of football games were played against outside teams in which the S.C.I. remained undefeated. After freeze-up a curling schedule was drawn up with nine rinks participating. Later we had a twelve-rink, two-event bonspiel. During the cold months of the winter we conducted a crokinoole tournament in which Grade XII won top honours. We had a very successful PAGE FIFTY-SIX carnival on Feb. 7th with spirits not at all dampened by very cold weather that day. An S.C.I. juvenile hockey team defeated all con¬ tenders for the Molloy Shield. Permission was granted to the committee to build a regulation size volleyball court. This should be welcome news to any volleyball fans. Just now we are in the process of getting black and yellow S.C.I. jackets. We are able to look back with pride on the achievements of the past months. With a few months remaining, we hope to make this the most successful year any sports com¬ mittee has ever had.

ID d Curling Report During the past curling season the stu¬ dents have been very active and many have participated in this sport. This year a team skipped by Richard Barkman had the privilege of curling in the Manitoba School Bonspiel. In the S.C.I. bonspiel twelve teams participated. The prizes for the bon¬ spiel were donated by nine of the Stein- bach business firms. The curling trophy was won by the team skipped by Peter Vogt. Winners of the first event in the spring bonspiel were Herman Rempel’s team and Jake Kroeker’s team came first in the sec¬ ond event. 4l [ 5{7 Crokinole Playing After Christmas, we had a crokinole tournament. Two players represented each room. In the final game, Em Hilde¬ brand and Ray Loewen won the tourna¬ ment for the Grade XII class by defeating the Grade X’s represented by Ray Rosner and Arthur Reimer. PAGE FIFTY-EIGHT
