The girls’ sports program got off to a fine start this season with the opening of the houseleague volleyball com¬ petitions under the able supervision of .Mrs. Kushnir and Mrs. Ghitter. Class 7-18 came up with a sparkling team that set the pace for the other sevens and was never headed. Class 8-15 took top honours in their section and 9-1 proved just too good to beat in their division. Sandra Lougheed 8-22 MIXED VOLLEYBALL proved to be a very successful innovation at Viscount this year. Each rade nine was represented by two teams. Competitions took place during the noon hour which -nade then especially popular with the lunchroom gang who had a pleasant diversion to turn to after gulping their sandwiches. Mho won? ’fell, it doesn ' t really matter. In any case, you ' ve probably guessed it. It was the Smith brothers again who cane up with the two best teams. The game to watch saw Jin ' s team finally upset Jerry ' s for top spot. • • ■ • ' Vi.

ALL-STAR VOLLEYBALL (Continued) The Senior Girls got off to an excellent start under the supervision of Mrs, Kushnir and continued to do vrell throughout the entire volleyball season. We beat Balmoral easily in the semi-finals; however, in the final game dranton romped off with the City Championship. Our fine team consisted of Linda Sheppard, Ilarylyn Sheskey Wendy Stone, Sharon Smith, Georgine Ross, Joan Wray, Donna McCannel, Pat Patterson, Diane Courtice and Monika Kleina. Sharon Smith 9-3 HOUSELEAGUE BASKETBALL . . Basketball highlighted the ’winter houseleague activities for both the boys and , girls in the Junior High. In the girls ' division , the grade nines were the only teams to complete their schedule before the tire came to make way for the Junior and Senior All-Star teams. In the grade nine competitions, Sharon Smith ' s 9-3 team.took the houseleague champion¬ ship by edging Wendy Stone ' s 9-6 team. Sharon Smith 9-3 ' i Boys ' houseleague basketball this season featured a lot of hard-fought games and there was a good, calibre of basketball played by sUch fellows as Bob Stull, Doug Grant ayne King, Jon Constable, Jim and Gerry Smith, John McKay and Jim MacDonald. When all the scheduled games were played a small version of the World Series of Basketball was played by the top teams in each grade. After our ears stopped ringing from the wild yells of the boys fighting for the elusive basketball, we glanced at the scoreboard and saw that Rooms 8-8 and 9-1 had emerged the champions of their divisions. ’ Abie Okazaki 9- 7 I GIRLS ALL-STAR BASKETBA LL After a brief exposure to the fundamentals of basketball, our Junior Girls broke off into four teams: Dribbling Dolls, Basket Babes, BennettiBandits and discount Victors. On March 1, the final game was held, a: clash between the Victors and the Bandits. The Victors took that game and represented our school at the Playday on March 5. Cur hard-fighting team coached by Enid Donovan and Kathy McDaid, found that it could not check the taller Colonel Walker girls. Our Junior Girls ' team included Joan Talbot, Marge Maliphant, Susan Alexander, Carol Harvey, Dixie Birney, Janice Cameron, Claire Fraser, Maureen McKinley, Peggy Smith and Shirley Zmurchyck. . ,• Sandra Lougheed 8-22 Mrs. Ghitter .put together a very good Senior All-Star team this year. It was not quite good enough, however, to make .the finals. Although the girls lost their games against Colonel Walker and Rideau, they did win one game against King Edward by a . wide margin. The. team consisted of Sharon Smith (Captain) ' , Georgine Ross, Wendy Stone, Linda Sheppard, Donna McCannel, Marylyn Sheskey, Joan Wray, Darlene Berrington, Carol Evans, Sharen Harris, Joan Atkinson and Karen Hertzberg. Sharen Harris 9-3 BOYS ALL-STAR BASKETBAL L .,S.W Okay-, let ' s run through that play againl ' . Mayell, ■. cut in fasterl .... K M Jim, get up higher when’you shootl . ■ • David and Abie, get back to the ten -second line. These shouts emerging from Mr. Hodgert ' s lusty throat mingled with the strident yells and pounding feet of twenty eager boys trying out for the Junior Basketball team, . After a few practices, the old pros , Lome Scott, Dave Willis, Jim MacDonald, Jim Hall and Jack Mayell were back in shape and the ■ many rookies were coming along fast. We felt,we were ready to take on all comers. Our confidence dwindled a little when we lost our first twm games to Colonel Walker and King Edward. After these two set-backs we started to click and won all four of the remaining games. Ron Stewart
