ATHLETIC REPORT The members of the Trafalgar Athletic Association have been very enthusiastic on the whole about sports this year. The athletic activities began very soon after school opened in the Fall with a tennis tournament and a cup was offered by the Athletic Association to the winner. Each match consisted of the best two out of three sets, and was umpired by one member of the Games Committee. The tournament had to be postponed on account of the Influenza Epidemic early in October. The first Basket-Ball match of the year was played in our gym- nasium against the Old Girls and was in answer to our challenge. It was a very interesting game but our team did not combine very well. The Old Girls won with a score of 34 to 30. Refreshments w ere served afterwards to the teams. The Old Girls ' Team consisted of : — Shooters — Janie Spier, Gwynneth Craig. Centres — Louisa Napier, Dorothy Porrit. Guards — Gladys Rutherford, Eleanor Cantlie. The Trafalgar Team consisted of : — Shooters — Marjorie Guthrie, Margaret Mackenzie. Centres — Dorothy Russel, Phebe Hall. Guards — Louise Morrison, Helen Drummond. During January and February our team worked well. Team practices took place every Wednesday afternoon in the Victoria School Gymnasium which is a great deal larger than our own. The girls tried very hard to improve their passing and to become accurate and quick in their play. On Tuesday, March 18th, the first of the three yearly matches with Miss Edgar ' s School was played in the Trafalgar Gymnasium in answer to our challenge. Our team led in both halves and at the end of the game the score was 57 to 20 in our favor. Refreshments were served afterwards to the two teams. Two matches of eighteen minutes each were played with the Old Girls during the Gymnasium Display. Our team won on April 4th with a score of 18 to 6 and again on April 5th with a score of 22 to 6. The second trial match against Miss Edgar ' s school was played in answer to their challenge in the Victoria School Gymnasium, on Tuesday, May 6th. Both teams had improved a great deal since the last match and there were several good passes on both sides. Trafalgar won with a score of 37 to 28. After the match, our team accompanied Miss Edgar ' s team to their school where refreshments were served. The Trafalgar Basket-Bail Team this year consists of : — Shooters — Marjorie Guthrie, Jean Lyall. Centres — Dorothy Russel, Roberta Dunton. Guards — Elise Dunton, Helen Drummond. The T. B.

NOON The rain is falling softly. And there ' s not a sign of sun But we are all quite happy. For our morning tasks are done. NIGHT The rain is falling softly, And dusk is falling fast, The birds are twittering in their nests. And evening ' s come at last. B. C. — II SPRING. Spring at last is really here! The songs of birds are ringing clear; Each has begun to build its nest. Choosing the place it likes the best. The flowers bloom upon the hill, The world ' s no longer white and still. The snow has gone, and in its place The sun shines on each flower ' s face. The birds among the flowers sing, For all are glad to see the spring; The bees go humming to and fro They wish the spring would never go. M.D.— Upper II. 25
