The team scores were the highest ever reached by the W. C. I.: Team A - 96.55% ; Team B - 83%. Aside from this accomplishment most of the members won individual awards. R. Podolsky, N. Gaskin, G. Branch, I. Steele and L. Burke each won first class silver medals. Bill McNaughton was in Front Row: Phyllis Martin, Mary Arnold, Miss Ryder, Ruth Greenhow, Joyce Whipple. Back Row: Kay Baird, Marg. Hambly, Jean Williams, Ruth McDougald, Betty Giles. Although this society held another successful Hick-Hop and several tea dances, it has done a great deal to en¬ courage War Work within the school. Miss Tunks took charge of the Red Cross knitting and was pleased with the work that was given to her. The boys overseas were not forgotten. All grad¬ uates from our school who are serving in the armed forces were sent chocolate bars. Page Seventy seven Girls’ Athletic Executive President .
