Endorsed by the Assembly, a column entitled Pradens Future ap- pears regularly in the Post-Record. The column describes the activities at the Academy and keeps alive public interest in the school. Credit for the column goes to Barbara Gerrard and Gordon Swan. Assembly activities of 1949-50 have been many and varied and this in- stitution continues to be one in which Sydney Academy and its students take pride. '+fSf-0-law THE C. B. FESTIVAL Ruth Newman The Academy students have always taken an active part in the annual Festival of Music, 'Speech and Drama. Among those winning awards in the 1949 Festival were: Eric MacKay and Carolyn MacQueen in the piano classes, Frances Jack in the vocal class, Ruth Newman in the speech class, the Junior Glee Club. This year an addition to the Speech and Drama department has been introduced through the efforts of an Academy teacher. This is a Debating class and it is hoped that many students will participate. .Agri-'t3,3f..- A DETERMINED HEART Chris Raptis Pat Stirling slowly trudged through the snow to the Maplewood High- School gym. Thoughts of the basketball game wfhich her team, the Maplewood High-School Basketball Girls, was going to play with their inter-state rivals, Cloverdale, for the state title, were preying on her mind. Playing her first year of basketball, she had made -the Senior squad, but only as a substitute, and sorry to say, she got on the floor for only a short time. Although she was quite short, the main factor which was keeping Pat from being played was that she was very slow and she often lagged behind in a play. Her shooting when she had a chance was accurate and her passes were swift and deadly. When she had been told of her weakness, she set out to remedy it, and going to the gym an hour earlier on practice evenings, she spent the whole hour in running around the floor and building up speed and by the time that the practice started, she was so tired out that she couldn't play well. This had been going on for two months and with each session she felt herself steadily improving. Before each game, she thought that maybe this would be the evening when she would be put on, but the rivals. of the Maple- wood team were pretty tough customers and the coach usually used all the ex- perienced second year players and as they usually had a t.ough time in b-eating their rivals, he thought that putting Pat on, Cs'he playing her first yearj would be an unwise thing to do. S-o that was how the situation stood. 41 A
