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.

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.

JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM FRONT: Dave Morris, Pat Healey, Terry Roth, Dennis Schmidt. BACK: Dennis Rumig , Pat 0 ' Donovan, Tom Weber, Jim Hallman. ABSENT: Evan Ehgoetz, Jerry Marshall, Eric Balsdon, Steve Dunhar. Many new faces made their way onto the Junior Husky bench this year. The large team worked hard and the long exhibition season helped to make the boys a strong contender in their league. The team leaped off to a fast start winning three games in a row but as the season matured they ran out of steam, losing some real close ones . Next year, however, should be a very good year because most of the team will return and be a better team member, so Perth- Huron look out, a champion is in the making. Coach: Mr. McTavish Mr. Cocker: Are pou instructing the class? Gary Arnstowski: No sir. Mr. Cocker: All right then, don ' t talk like an idiot.
