SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM -Wp G f ' ilr cT ' FRONT: Bill Pletsch, Peter Smith, John Beck. BACK: Bill Ebel, Nolan Swartzentruber , Gary Brennan, Dan Gardner. This was a vear of rebuilding and changes for the Huskies as all but one of last vear ' s team graduated, and only one junior made the grade to fill the remaininn starting positions. With a lot of hard work and a heavy exhibition season the team became one of the best balanced and the highest scoring team Northwestern has produced in its young historv. Dan ' Gardner ' and Bill Ebel lead the scoring f or the Huskies but John Ellis and John Beck had over a ten point a game average to back them up. This year the Huskies went to a man to man defence as a main defence for the first time and it oroved very effective as all their games were won or lost by slight margins. We aive a special thanks to the coach of the team, Mr. James, and to Chris Long, the manager. Paul Schlotzhauer (indicating item on menu) - I think I ' ll have some of that. Waiter: I ' m sorry sir, but the orchestra has to play that later on. Sports Editor of Nor ' Wester: What shall I say about the two peroxide blondes who had a fight at the baseball game last night. Editor: Just say the bleachers went wild.

SENIOR FOOTBALL SENIOR FOOTBALL In my opening I feel that it is only fitting that the team extends their thanks to the coaches — Mr. McMillan and Mr. Pirrie, for their fine efforts in making the HUSKIES a highly spirited team and also for giving up much of their valuable leisure time. Also thanks go to the staff and students of N.W.S.S, supporting us throughout the season. for This year in our Perth-Huron Conference, the HUSKIES faced five outstanding teams — Goderich, Clinton, St. Mary ' s, Seaforth, and Wingham. We may have lost, but the many bruised, battered players from these five teams can tell you that the HUSKIES get harder to beat every year. This year was a great one for rival victory when we ventured to that place across the river and really showed them how to play football. It was a cloudless, beautiful day when we walked on to that field. Everything was going our way. We knew if we won it would make our school proud of us. Our quarterback, Dan Gardner, played his most sensational game of the season by leading us to a 21-6 victory over Central. I won ' t mention any names because I would have to list all the players and space doesn ' t allow it. None of us are stars; just a gang working to make a school feel proud. Next year we may even bring home the championship.

This year our basketball team worked hard and after several matches they finally found success in their game against Listowel, On Saturday morning, February 10, the excitement in the Girls ' Gym ran high, affecting each member of the team, who responded by trouncing Listowel 18 to 10. The same afternoon we faced our arch-rival Central who reaped the benefits of our tiring morning encounter and, reversed the trouncing to a score of 42 to 7. Other teams we faced included: South Huron, St. Clinton, Mitchell, Wingham, Goderich, and Seaforth. Marys , The girls wish to thank Mrs. Thompson for her help and guidance throughout the games. She spent many hours at practices and games prodding us along and showing us exactly what she wanted us to accomplish.
