WOMEN'S ATI-ILETICS WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION We, the girls of Toronto Normal School 1936-7, leave behind us fleeting memories of hours spent at sport in the company of new ac- quaintances. Nothing in the school year has done more toward estab- lishing new and lasting friendships than the activities of the .Athletic Association. ln the autumn, when the students were still wandering about the Normal School in a daze. the girls assembled to elect their executive ivhich resulted as follows: ciI7ll'l '7II'l'.ff President . ..

Elizabeth Parslow it 4 1 -- s Uk ii Credit must be given to all the members of the Executive for their wonderful co-operation throughout the year. Early in the term, things sprang into action. Owing to the long winter season, most of the time was spent in volleyball and basket- ball. Two school teams were chosen from among the manv aspirants. These teams uncler the capable coaching of Mr. Keefe were a credit to the school. Page Fifty BASKETBALL After careful deliberation, the girls' team was lined up. Following steady practice under the able guidance of Mr. Keefe, the team began with a flying start, winning its first victory over the Eaton Girls' team. In its wake came a surprise victory over Varsity. This run of good fortune was not to hold, however, in the much anticipated game with Hamilton. In a hard-fought battle at Hamilton, Toronto was defeated by a slight margin of three points. But this did not dampen the spirits of the girls, who came 'back with two outstanding successes ov-er the teams of Jarvis and East York Collegiate, and completed the season with a most decisive victory over Stratford in the Inter-Normal meet. In all these victories the team was well-inspired by its captain. Maida Prouse. The fine co-operation of forwards: Betty Meikle, jean Mackenzie, Phyllis Holden and Norma Sturley and splendid guarding by Olive Ostapowich, Peggy Hallatt. Audrey Simpson and Kay Bryan helped to make the basketball season a great success. To Mr. Keefe we wish to express our sincere gratitude and ap- preciation for the keen personal interest he has shown, and the able assistance he has given us. Many thanks must also be given to the Staff Representative' Miss St. john and also Miss Merchant without whose help the Athletic As- sociation would not have had such a successful year. .It is with much regret that we see the .Athletic activities draw to a close. It has been a season of thrills. of real games and splendid sportsmanship. As for the players, there were no individual stars. Each girl played as well and as fairly as she could. Could we wish for anything better? B. Mcikle.
