They also battled it out with Queen Margaret's School and Varsity, both at home and out of town. During the year one of our College boys, Roger Bibace, an old hand at hockey and an experienced coach, took over the training of the team and did wonders with our V.C. enthusiasts. The trusty forward line, consisting of Sonia Bazett, Maureen Patrnore, Liz Bateman, Orie Parris lvice-captainl, and Trudy Mangin, was ably backed up by the sturdy and dependable defence of Patsy Codville, Dorothy Adams, Leslie Rimrner, Gwyn Lloyd lcaptainl, Madeline Spicer and Io Spicer making some smashing scores to put down on the records.

'Ze S66 7'l!ZL At noon on February 14th the maiority of financially and academically embar- rassed members of our A.M.S. watched wistfully as 28 privileged collegians, with Mr. and Mrs. Gaddes, bounced into a bus bound for the forbidden Plateau. The weather, oddly enough, was perfect. Thus began a Wonderful week-end. Several who met skis for the first time on Saturday morning found it difficult to maintain a dignified attitude. Too much sun, too manytsweaters, too deep snow, too steep a hill, too sharp a turn! Teeth clenched, they struggled on, but they all had to admit that it was part of the fun. And never was there made such Wonderful coffee as that served at Bald Rock Look- out! On Sunday midnight everyone crawled stiffly out at the depot, With much need of liniment, but definitely agreed that it had been Worth it. The second trip started out with Mr. Poisson a Week later, their spirits not at all dampened by a determined drizzle. Rain all Saturday didn't mean a thing. Skiing for rather the attempt? was the order of the day. As on the first trip, there were displayed varying degrees of ability on skis, varying senses of humour and varying types of verbal expressions. Of course, they were unanimous that the second trip was much better than the first talthough, actually, snow and weather were far worsel. But it was ultimately the feeling of com- panionship and the added good nature of Mr. and Mrs. Gaddes, Mr. Poisson and bus driver Stan that made both trips events to remember with a smile. 33 J, 6
