BOYS ' BASKETBALL The city series was played as a knock-out round. The first game that Sunalta played in the series was at McDougall School with Sunalta taking Haultain 55-22. A week later another game was played against King George with Sunalta winning a pass into the final, 35-21. The final game was played at Central Auditorium the next week when Sunalta lost to James Short, 35-34. The game was very close, the deciding point came in the final 10 seconds of play, when one of our players fouled a James Short player who scored to win the game.

GIRLS’ BASEBALL Team: C. Welsh, L. Blondell, J. Gilhooley, B. Breedon, A. Currie, S. Smith, J. Hughes, B. Dennis, E. Sutfin, J; Glenn, G. Horn, D. Fay. The first game of the season was played with Connaught at the latter’s diamond with Sunalta losing 9-12. A schedule was drawn up among the grade 9’s to play against each other. GIRLS’ BADMINTON Under the fine supervision of Mr. Whittle, the girls had a very successful badminton season. Gloria Grey, Jessie Gilhooley, Pat Tait and Iris MacFarlane, were the contestants who competed in the Annual Badminton Tournament, which took place at the Cal¬ gary Badminton Club on March 22nd. Sunalta finished third, but with more practice we could have done better. As this was the first attempt at badminton for several players, we consider the season a complete success. Pat Tait and Lorna Blondell won the school tourn¬ ament. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Senior Team: Shirley Smith, Eleanor McAndrew, Jessie Gil¬ hooley, Joyce Glenn, A. J. Oliver, Nellie Parker, Grace Horn, Eileen Sutfin, Ruth Hurlburt. The first game of the season was played at Sunalta against Rideau with Rideau coming out victors with a score of 25-21. A return game was played at Rideau with Rideau again the victors with a close score of 18-17. A game played with Connaught saw Sunalta come ' out victorious with a score of 16-10. A return game was played at Sunalta with Sunalta winning by a large margin of 30-4. The season was wound up by playing Haultain, who won by a score of 24-14. George Swick and Art Parker coached the girls through a successful season. When the junior basketball season began this year, there were sufficient girls in the junior weight class to make six teams. Two of these teams were girls who had played before, so it was decided they would be included in the senior schedule. The four remaining teams were then coached by G. Swick and A. Parker. They later formed a House League and many interesting and worthwhile games were played. The final game in the league contest was stiffly opposed with Tait’s Tornadoes of 8C winning by a small majority. These girls then challenged the junior team from the senior schedule and won with a score of 15-9. The junior basketball was exceptionally good this year and much of the credit goes to the two boys who turned out so regularly to help the girls. I believe these teams will make excellent seniors next year. 68
