VARSITY HOCKEY Back row: Fraser, Chaney Woodford, Powers, Howard Front row: Stinchfietd. Carry Kennedy S. fcaptainj . TI-IE HOCKEY SEASCDN OCKEY this year was successtut in every way despite the war and the consequential tactc ot outside competition. For att this we must thantq Miss Brown, Mrs. Linton, and the Athtetic Board tor carrying out an entirety new program. The traditional atumnae game opened our season ofticiatty. The game was very ctose taut tjinatty the Varsity emerged victorious with a score of 3-1. With such great names as Verntund, Breed, Cooke, Lawrence, Carpenter, Barker, McClure, Watson and N. Hendrix representing the E. W. Varsity tor three years, no wonder the 1942 Varsity tett proud as they carried the traditionat cup from the Field. This constituted the onty outside game ptayed. taut a Junior Varsity was created which ted the Varsity a merry chaseiintit Finatty sutudued. To add gtamour an unotticiat Yate-Watter Hockey game was ptayed. Some Yate men, ted hy Chartotte Perryys brother HHoppy,U chattenged Watterys to a duet. Some amazing tricks of the trade were revealed to us innocents, and it is a wonder that everyone escaped unscathect. When the dust was cteared away we found the tinat score 4-1 in favor ot Yate with C. Berry our onty scorer. However, we received compen- sation hy the high praises they hestowed upon us concerning our prowess on the hoctcey field. The Sun-Diat competition was as usuat extremety ctose. The Suns, headed by Joan Vxfoodtord, succeeded outptaying the Dials in the tirst game 2-1. However, the Diats under the ahte captaincy of D. Chaney staged a successtut comehactr and became victors in the three succeeding games. The second team series was just as ctose with the Suns victorious. 108 Whipple, Norris. Kneeling:

The Board otters its humhle thanlas to everyone for all the aid and encouragement received through the year. During the fall term, interest in hockey hit an all time high. The Fall Tennis Toumament was postponed hecause snow tell long hefore it was Finished. The Sun-Dial competition was, as usual, hard fought. It was only with much ditliculty that the Dials nosed the Suns out ot the cup. Because of the war, we were unahle to play any outside games, hut in place of them a Junior Varsity was organized to play a series against the Varsity. The annual alumnae game was also played oft, and there was a gymlchana for the riders. The winter term proved ditticult, for two weelcs were dropped hecause of the oil- to-coal conversion of the school. Therefore the gym meet had to he ahandoned and only a few haslcethall games were played. The weather seemed always to hit extremes with only one really time weelc conducive to winter sports. hut even in the short time a slai meet was organized tuming out to he successful for the Suns. The weather man, still contrary, held up the spring program until after the Pepper Pot had gone to press. 107
