The winners of this league were 9-h and 3 9 • ; JUNIOR HIGH BOYS ' BASKETBALL LEAGUE — For a couple of months, Bennett ' s gym floor whs shaken gently by the dainty steps and soft whispers of j Grade Eight and Nine boys playing the game of Annie, Annie, Over the Back- board. In other words, the fellows yelled and thundered-enough down the oourt to rock the foundation — while playing basketball. Well, anyway, it was funl The teams played a Round-Robin Tournament with 9-h and 8-12 out on top of their respective league hoops. The two leagues were enjoyed by all players. JUNIOR HIGH BOYS ' ALL-STAR LEAGUE Early in February the Senior Boys ' All-Star Basketball set out to win all of their games against such schools as Colonel Walker, Bal¬ moral and Queen Elizabeth. Under the coaching of Mr. Semkuley, they played one or two games a week. Although they were not completely victorious, they did win the majority of their games. The Senior All-Stars, playing in a similar league, also aimed to win as many games, as they could. They man¬ aged to win the majority of them, but did not, even under the skilled coaching of Mr. Hodgert, win enough to cop the title. JUNIOR HIGH SOFTBALL HCUSELEAGUE After the Track Meet Grade Seven, j Eight and Nine students were organized into house leagues for daily games. No interschool participation was organized for this sport. j JUNIOR HIGH TABLOID TRACK MEET All students took part in the various track and field events, the totals were taken, and percentages calculated.

Page 66 JUNIOR HIGH GIRLS ' INTERSCHOOL BASKETBALL Divided according to the McCloy Rating, Viscount ' s two girls ' teams, junior and senior, had thirteen members | on.each team. : The girls played four league games | in the form of doubleheaders. The first was played on March 6 at Rideau Park, with the opposition winning both games. On March 10, at Melville Scott, the j Seniors were defeated, but the Juniors won their game. The third doubleheader at King Edward again saw the Seniors defeated and the Juniors victorious. | In the final games, played at Viscount on March lU, both teams were downed by Colonel Walker by one point. j INTERSCHOOL BADMINTON TOURNAMENT Although receiving very late notice of the Badminton Tournament which was held at Crescent Heights High School, Viscount Bennett was well represented in the event. Just before the tournament, short Round-Robin Tourna¬ ments were run-off ; and, as a resul t, the top eight teams were picked includ¬ ing a substitute team. However, fail¬ ing to match Rideau ' s top-notch play,‘ ' Viscount players were rather, quickly defeated., although our representatives did fairly well in the : Doubles Tournament. In the Singles Tournament, played after the first part of the play was finished, our players showed even better. Next year. ' Special thanks go to Mr. Bryan for his assistance with the coaching as well as the members of the Physical Education Department. THE TERMINAL ANNUAL GYMPEDE As in previous years, students from all five grade levels at Vis¬ count took part in-the Annual Gympede. This year ' s showwas held on Wednesday, March 19, and featured demonstrations in-gymnastics, tumb¬ ling, basketball, volleyball, games, dance, badminton and wrestling. Under the direction of the Physical Education Department, the Gympede was presented for a Home and School Association meeting to demonstrate the variety of activities which make up the Physical Education pro¬ gram. A special feature of the even¬ ing was the display put on by the majorettes and cheer leaders accom¬ panied by the school band. JUNIOR HIGH BOYS ' BORDENBALL LEAGUE During the month of September Grade Seven and Eight boys worked off a lot of their energy during the noon hours playing bordenball. After a great 0 deal of vigorous play among many • a y participants, 7-1-5 and 8-12 ended up li the season as the Z j l league winners. JUNIOR HIGH WRESTLING Under the able direction of Stan Black a group of boys met regularly for instruction in wrestling. At the work¬ outs Stan concentrated on body-building exercises.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL PI THE SENIOR HIGH j noon. Under the direction of Mr. Semkuley, the Junior Football team had a fairly successful season. Although they only won one game (a 2-1 victory ver Western), the team j always gave their opponents stiff com-, petition. Over the season, four players stood out: Jim Clark, Jack Truran, j Deane Ross and Bill Winship. Mr. Jones and Dave James assisted Mr. I Semkuley with the coaching and managing of the team. IF (and there always seems to be an if ) the team had not been hampered by an almost epedemic-like flood of injuries. Viscount might have won even more games. The soccer league was not too successful because of poor weather and unsatisfactory playing conditions. The touch football league fol¬ lowed much the same rules as tackle rugby but, instead- of- the play actually tackling his opponent, he tagged him with both hands. All in all, those who participated in these two leagues had a gread deal of fun. SENIOR HIGH BOYS ' HOUSELEAGUE BASKET¬ BALL : A very successful season of houseleague basketball concluded at the end of March with a strong 10-U3 team emerging victorious. The race for the champion¬ ship was a very.tight one 5 .and, until the last game was finished, it was not known which room would cop top honors. Each contest lasted from 12:20 until 12:50 with four quarters, each lasting approximately eight minutes. i : SENIOR HIGH SOCCER AND TOUCH FOOTBALL The senior high soccer and touch football leagues were not composed of room ■TTi teams, but of persons interested in playing these sports. League play lasted from 12:20 until 12:50
