W.0.S.S.A. Basketball This year the Senior Girls found them- selves in one of the toughest groupings in this district, that of XN'.O.S.S.A. A , This time they were competing against the three London schools, Beal Technical, London Central and Medway. Despite the much larger size of the London schools, the Merle Rock-coached Gophers did well for them- selves, defeating Beal Tech and Medway each twice, and being nosed out of the W.O.S.S.A. play-offs by Central. The wins and losses are as follows: Tillsonburg for Central 30-14 for 18-17 24-14 for Tillsonburg for Central Tillsonburg 32-20 for Tillsonburg Medway ......................

WANT llonourable Mention, H. Krautz Tumbling A Tumbling squad under the leadership of Miss Rock is now being formed, and they will display their handsprings and pyramids before the crowd on the day of Cadet Inspec- tion. Edith Moon was elected captain. Inter-Form Basketball lnter-form Basketball' was rather domin- ated by Grades 12, 11, and 10, and the sche- dule linished up in a three-way tie with the three grades having four wins apiece. Grade 13 and Special Commercial trailed with one win each and a tie divided between them. Grades 11 and 10 nosed out Grade 12, in the semi-finals, and Grade 11 went on to defeat the second formers, 23-15, to win the Girls' lnter-form Championship. The Senior team this year was composed of many new players, with Nan Warren, Barbara Ann Macliwan, Jean Smith and Sharon Doyle being the only returnees from last year's team. Marg. Howey, Shirley Tait, .Ioan Wellman and Mae Nunn filled up the gaps on the for- ward line very capably to make it one of the most feared shooting formations in the league. Nan Warren and Barbara Ann MacEwan on the guard line were assisted by Gloria Haycock, a star on last season's Junior team, Ella Gyulveszi, a newcomer to basket- ball competition, and two subs, Georgette Maeckleberg and Chere Dreyer, brought up from this season's junior team. They all combined to form one of the hardest-playing and closest-checking defence lines ever put out by Coach Miss Rock. The Junior team also had mostly new members. Sparked by Captain Nunn, and 47

Cheerleaders held a dance in the gymnasium in order to raise money for new uniforms. Admission to this gala affair was only l0c. During the dance, several students tmostly boysl, dropped their odd change into a huge box that, by some coincidence, just happened to be sitting in the middle of the floor, with a large sign on it saying HDONATIONSU: One could not help notic- ing this box, as those dancing were con- tinually tripping over it! The music was supplied by the new disc jockey, ex-student Wfray Rutledge, who is well-known to all. Numerous spot dances were won, for which the lucky couples were awarded de- lightful prizes. Towards the end of the dance, Mr. Reid presented the cheerleaders with 5520 in cash, S510 from the Girls' Athletic Society, and S10 from the Boys' Athletic Society, to aid in purchasing new costumes, which were bad- ly needed. The total amount amassed for this purpose was 360. The dance was an unqualified success, and if you have any doubts, just take a look at the slick and original uniforms worn by the cheerleaders in their picture, appear- ing in this magazine.

Pamela Maloney the team showed promise of future strong NN'.O.S.S.A. competition. Violet Laur, lanky Linda Lounsbury and Elizabeth Sergeant, Wlinnifred Collings, lietty Scliotsch, Caroline Smith and Arabelle llowes completed the forward line. They all had something to give to the team and they gave it. The guard line consisted of Chere Dreyer, Mary jane Arthur. Margaret Ann Glover, Jennie Ghesquire, Shirley Eichenberg, Lois Fairbairn and Georgette Maeckleberg. .lt was a hard-working line all the way and it is to their credit that their forwards had possession of the ball the majority of the time in their games. This completes the Amazonian activities of the girls up to the month of April, and on behalf of the Basketball team, the Tumbling squad, and lnter-form participants, we would like to thank Miss Merle Rock, P.'l'. instructress, for making the activities varied and plentiful. 48 Thanks and appreciation are extended to the entire student body and also to the staff of T.D.H.S. for their loyal support and assistance, from the Cheerleaders of 1950 to 1951. lVithout your aid new uniforms could not have been purchased nor could our school have maintained such wonderful school spirit as shown during the series of rugby and basketball games. l'Jon't lose this spirit! Good luck, Cheerleaders, 1950-1051. ! me S . THE TATLER
