Tennis, Badminton and Swimming have been encouraged on this HCCOUYIT. Inter-form games of Basketball with other schools supplanted the Inter-scho- lastic Basketball League. We hope to enlarge upon this in the future and extend it to Badminton and other sports. A Senior Basketball League was in operation and considered a great success. There are rumours of a junior League for next year. This extensive program was made possible only by the addition of two new teachers to our staff, Miss Prittie and Miss Hayden. :tif-it TENNB Shortly after coming back to school in the fall the girls could be seen breath- lessly pursuing the tennis ball on the front lawn of the school. The only great trouble experienced was that the ball went over the fence more times than over the net and chose to bounce at every impossible angle. The Tennis Club was organized under the supervision of Miss Prittie. The equipment of the Fifth Form Tennis Club of five years ago was used and a new outfit purchased as well. All the girls were free to use the courts and every night there was some' one on them till the cold weather sent us inside dragging the nets after us. We hope the moths havent eaten them as we hope to have a tournament this Spring. I wonder if a retreiving com- mittee could be organized. 3lODt BASKETBALL Houseleague The boys' HousefLeague Basketball games having been such a success last year, the girls decided to follow suit by introducing a league into their schedule. Accordingly the girls who were inter- ested, about 69 or 70 in number, held a meeting in November. The III, IV and V forms were included in this. Miss Mason took charge and is to be com' plimented for her spendid work in pick' ing the teams, training them, arranging schedules and numerous other things which took up the greater part of her time after hours. At first nearly half the original number of girls had to be eliminated: then the teams were picked and the captains chosen. In spite of all this, however, the league was well under' way by Christmas. The games continued right on till the latter part of March and finished as follows: First place VCD A, Patterson cap. Second lllflj D. Smith Third- IVKU A. Buck Fourth N lllflj M.
