Page 69 TH E TERMINAL ....... SENIOR HIGH BOYS ALL-STAR BASKETBALL This has been a year of firsts sportwise, and Bennettites can be proud of the fine start made by the Senior High Boys ' Junior Basketball squad. Under the direction of Mr. D. Jones it competed against clubs from the other five senior highs, earning a fourth-place berth. The team members were: Jon Constable, Dennis Gilbert, Darrell Goodfellow, Darrill Lade 11, Gary Lee, Bill McCabe, Wendell Nicholson, John McKay, Ian Potter, Dean Ross and Gerry Smith. In the 1958-59 season Bennett hopes to be able to field both senior and junior teams for inter-school competition. SENIOR HIGH INTERSCHOOL BASKETBALL J unior — The Junior Girls ' Inter- school team showed an excellent dis¬ play of basketball skill this year. Coached by Miss Thomas and Mr. Semkuley, the group reached the semi¬ finals after many hard-fought battles. The league operated from November 25 until February 13 -- when the girls played against Queen Elizabeth in the semi-finals to end up with a heartbreaking loss. Intermediate — This team, coached by Mr. Jones, fought hard throughout the • season to make an excellent impression on the Viscount fans, proving to. other older and larger schools that Viscount offers real tough competition. The girls fought through to the semi-finals which they unfortunately lost to Queen Elizabeth by a 3U-33 count. The top scorers for this group were Enid Donovan,.Diana White and Carol Powers. GIRLS ' HCUSELEAGU5 BASKETBALL Cheers, iirhistles and screams came from the gymnasium most noons during November and December when the Grade Ten and Eleven girls battled with one another for the coveted House league Basketball Trophy. The Grade Elevens, being more experienced, seemed as if they had the Championship in the bag. However, late in December., the, finals took place between 10-27 and ll-29j and it was soon demonstrated by 10-27 that they could get up to the top when they really wanted to. Second and third places were won by 11-29 and 11-28. VOLLEYBALL PLAYDAY FOR VISCC.DIT GIRLS Two Viscount girls ' teams par¬ ticipated in the Volleyball Playday held at Western. Although they failed to win, they thoroughly enjoy¬ ed themselves. MIXED VOLLEYBALL HOUSE LEAG UE Grade Tens and Elevens got to¬ gether for a spirited mixed volley¬ ball league in the spring of 1958. All of the Grade Ten rooms were out to show the Grade S ' evens a thing or two — and they did, too, but Class 11-29 managed to emerge the victors‘of the tight league. These victors, on the other hand, were soundly trounced by the staff in a noon-hour Booster Club rally. Perhaps age is what counts for this game ' .

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
