CURLWG I Foovenu. O i -fx Bnsxe 7. emu. 1L. mCK Hoc KEY Z '- For the last half decade, the 'Sydney Academy has virtually dominated the majority of hi-gh .school athletic activities in Cape Breton and Nova Scotia. No further proof of this is needed than a glance at the records. NVith the turn of the half-century Sydney Academy hoopsters will be aiming for their seventh consecutive Provincial basketball title, 'led by 'coach PAT PATTERSON and the genial managing of MR. JOE OHAISSON of the Academy teaching staff. Such a recvord is something to be applauded, and we know it never could have been established without the excellent guidance of MR. PAT PATTERSON, who is responsible for the development of some of the Maritimes best basketball players. Out on the diamond a power-packed Academy baseball nine walked off with the Cape B-reton High School championship with convincing wins over teams from the Northside and Glace Bay respectively. This was the first year in which Academy went all out to assemble a top-notch team and came up with the cream of the crop. The team was well looked after by Mr. John Johnstone and Mr. John Gillis, o-f the Academy teaching staff. In the first annual 'Curling Bo-ns-piel held at Truro, the Academy rep- resentatives were runners-up to a well-balanced quartet from Truro in a round robin series. As we go t-o- press, the Senior Interscholastic hockey team has been crowned Cape Breton champs and are ready to begin defence of the Provin- cial title which tlhey have held for the past two seasons. The Intermediates are not far behind. Having already eliminated Sydney Mines and New Wat- erford, they have clinched the Island title and are ready to be-gin defence of the Island title, and are ready to begin defence of the Nova Scotia champion- ship which they have won the last two years. T'he Academy Juvenile team, which won Nova Scotia honors last year, reached the Sydney Minor League finals, and bowed out to SHIPYARD after giving the undefeated Yarders a few very interesting games. MR. BOB OHAFE has been the mentor behind Academy hockey for the past few seasons and has done a very exceptional job of assembling the te-ams and giving them sound coaching. 49
