' Front Row from left to right-Barbara Hawse, Alice Villeneuve, Lorraine Char- ron, Mary Volchuk, Senior Girls' Basketball Basketball is the chief athletic pastime during the winter in every high schoolg so it is the favourite game with the girls in our school. This year the girls' team followed in the footsteps of last years team and after dili- gent practice and good training ranked se- cond in the Northern Girls' Basketball League. The first game was played at Cochrane on January 18. This was a very close gameg in fact it was a tie. The score was 16-16. Then a Timmins forward made a basket and the whistle blew. There was doubt then as to whether she had thrown the ball before the whistle blew or afterg so they gave a point to each team. The game ended still tied. The next game was played at Timmins with South Porcupine. The Timmins sextet lost this game by one point, the score being 23-22. On January 30th the girls went to Iroquois Falls where they played a winning game. As the high school at Iroquois Falls has no gymna- sium the game was played in a large room at the mill. The second and last game lost by the Timmins girls was to South Porcupine. This was a very exciting game, as our girls were ahead for a while but were unable Lo hold out against the South Porcupine stars, and the game ended with the score of 25-21. After this the girls found it plain sailing and they won four games in succession. The last game was played with the Cochrane girls at Timmins High School. After the game a dance was held in the auditorium and for every basketball fan the evening ended as en- joyably as it began. The iinal results of the games were: South Porcupine iirst, winning eight straight gamesg Timmins second, winning five, tying one, and losing two to South Porcupineg Cochrane third.

He fits in at all positions, and plays each position well. Mr. Neil Runnalls: coach. Basketball This year's senior basketball team, while not as powerful as last year's should be able to make a good showing. . At present the T. H. dz V. S. team is leading the Town League with two victories and one defeat. Considering the fact that two of the teams in the town league are made up of more experienced players, this is a Very cre- ditable record for our team. In the first game of the schedule played in our gym, the T. H. Sz V. S. team defeated Schiunacher High School by the score of 1.9-16. At Schumacher our boys eked out a 19-17 victory over the Schumacher town team. 0n Wednesday, March 27, Schumacher evened things up by beating our boys 25-22 in the Schumacher gym.

R gdb B E J JS 1 1 4APmnw-fxwzs Why I Ride My Hobby-Horse Without his hobbies, the average school day of a boy would be made up of working at school, doing homework, eating and sleep- ing, and a few minutes of reading. But my programme for the day is not at all like the one mentioned, for every evening I ride my hobby-horse. By this I mean that I set a certain amount of time aside for my hob- bies, of which there are several. D-X-ing is 'a favourite. D-X-ing is a term used by sh-ort-wave radio amateurs. It means trying to find distant stations with a short-wave set. This hobby should appeal to almost any boy or girl. Besides being a fine way to wind up one's day, it is extremely interesting. What can be more exciting than listening to a radio station in England calling a sta- tion in South America? A short Wave en- thusiast 'cannot help but wish to learn the code which he hears over his radio. When he does learn it, it is interesting to translate the messages. Translating code into English is very good practice. It teaches one to think quickly and to use his head. For these reasons, and many others, I am very fond of operating my short-wave radio. If a b0y is mechanically -minded, he will ind plenty of amusement in building a set for himself. There is only one fault to be set against all the good points of a hobby. That is, it is always asking a boy to leave his work and co-me and enjoy himself with his hobby. And it is hard to resist such a call. STUART SCOTT
