Dewart played steadily at with four goals, Mars was Walkerville’s defense this year. This boy was a safe hero. man to defend blue and white territory. Dave McGee. Speed and stick-handling are the qualities that make Dave a dan¬ gerous forward. This boy know the game thoroughly and plays ardently. Murray Blinkley. Murray played well his wing position and aided greatly in syn¬ chronizing the team-work that Mr. Klinck had taught the teams. Elmer Awrey. This boy is indeed a per¬ fect defenseman. Elmer is a hard man to get past because he blocks fearlessly and stick handles excellently. You play¬ ed an unbeatable brand of hockey this year, Elmer. Gord. MacDonald. Gord’s brilliant back checking and aggressive spirit gained for him the left wing position on the first line. Gord played consistently and well deserves the many compliments of the students. Page Seventy-two Tom Yanderlinder. Another plucky for¬ ward is Tom Vandelinder. Tom worked well with his line and helped to tally for many goals. Bill Bates and Bill Kerrigan. These lads proved that they were the two best goal¬ ies in Windsor. Their work in the nets was an extremely important factor in capturing the championship. Congratu¬ lations, fellows. Eddie Roemmele. Eddie made a perfect co-captain for the team this year. This boy is a valuable defense man and dis¬ played his wares a great deal this year. An injured shoulder kept Eddie off the ice at the end of the season. Bob Johnson. This puck-chaser played a beautiful game at wing this year. Bob fights hard and greatly boosts the mor¬ ale of the team. (Continued on page 86) cha whc Klii t ' m he 1 Wa the wit] touj and lads Klii atic sho cloc Poc it s ous and

BLUE AND WHITE Senior Hockey “What happened to the Senior Hoc¬ key team this year?” is the popular question asked in student sport circles. It is evident that no attempt was ma de this year to organize a senior club and it is also a known fact that the Walker- ville C. I. has, this year, same champ¬ ionship hockey material. Let me illustr¬ ate my point. That friendly American School, Cran- brook, engaged a Walkerville senior pick up team in a regulation hockey match at the arena. The result was that our blue and white boys overwhelmed the American team and thoroughly defeat¬ ed them. Bob MacDonald, the best high school hockey player in Windsor, Dewar Laing, one of the speediest wings in the leagues, Emerson Williams, a very fast skater and a marvellous stick handler, Dave Kerrigan, a real hockey player, Jack Glendon, a great performer on the skates, Forbes Thompson, an extremely good puckchaser and many others play- in this game. Walkerville hockey lov¬ ers and players merely twiddled their thumbs this year because nobody could coach them and give them a chance to wi n the Windsor Senior Hockey champ¬ ionship. Incidentally the same Cranbrook team which challenged W. C. I., played the Kennedy team which had had an ex¬ tremely successful season this year; in this game Cranbrook trounced the Ken¬ nedy boys and had no trouble at all beat¬ ing them. Let’s not give up the ship so readily next year. Let’s always have a team ev¬ en though we might not win a game. Junior Hockey Mr. Klinck did it again! He coached the Walkerville Junior hockey team to the Windsor championship. These clas¬ sy teamsters skated undefeated through this year’s hockey schedule, and we feel safe in saying that they would have cap¬ tured the W.O.S.S.A. title if the war would have let them out of Windsor. Assumption, Patterson, Tech and Ken¬ nedy fell under the punch and boundless spirit of the Blue and White Juniors. When Mr. Klinck coaches a team, the only thing that he finds lacking is some worthwhile competition. Congratulat¬ ions, Walkerville Juniors. Keep up the good work, Mr. Klinck. Here are the boys that made up this unbeatable team: Ian Steele. Ian is undoubtedly the best hockey player for his age that you could find anywhere. As captain, Ian played a brilliant game at centre. This boy is the fastest man on the team and has a bull¬ et shot. Don Wilson. Another speedy player with an excellent shot, is Don Wilson. Don played a brilliant brand of hockey this year. Congratulations, Don. Mars Gelinas. Gelinas watched his team¬ mates from the bench this year until the final game of the play-offs. In this game this slight junior unleashed his pent-up fury and played the best game Page Seventy one

Need I tell you who coached this club. It was Mr. Klinck, of course. It seems that every t’me that grand teacher coaches a team he brings it home with a trophy. The Walkerville Senior Soccer team kicked their way through this year’s schedule with not one defeat. Competition was tough at times, but Walkerville’s spirit and excellent team work brought the lads through on top every time. Mr. Klinck taught the boys to play system¬ atically and the teamwork that the club showed on the field of battle looked like clockwork. “Walkerville Senior Soccer Footers!” You played the game the way it should be played. Walkerville C. I. students unanim¬ ously extend to you their compliments ond congratulations. These undefeated team-mates are: Goal: Clare Reese Fullbacks: Allister, Scorgie, Edward Cook, Terry Tarleton, Halfbacks: Donald Wilson, Ian Steele, Grant Peifer, Nick Yared, Don Mc- Elroy, Forwards: Gordon MacMillan, Jack Ogg. Bill Guignion, Alex Powell, Reg. Moore, Melvin Carrier,, Jack Skinner. They sat side by side in the moonlight, And she murmered as she stroked his brow, “Darling, I know my life’s been fast, But I’m on my last lap now”. Her: Do you think you’ll find a perfect girl? Russel K.: No, but it’s a lot of fun mak¬ ing sure they weren’t. Page Seventythree
