BLUE AND WHITE i John Whitley. John hasn’t played a lot of basketball, but he is a very reliable substitute. John plays a very scintific game. It was rumoured once that this chap asked Miss Tunks and Mr. Davies to help him calculate the arch of a one- handed long-shot thrown from centre floor by a player running at full speed. I’m only fooling, John; you played a fine game. Front Row: Bob Miller, Frank Payne, Mr. Hugill, Bob Fox, Lyle Bennett, Albert Schaljo. Middle Row: Jack MeQuarrie, Art Blakely, Ken Rutherford, Ted Bartlett, Jack Purdy. Back Row: Bob MacDonald, Harry Shotton, Mr. Swanson, John Kerr THE RADIO CLUB Organized on February 20, the Radio Club had its first meeting on Feb. 27, with Jack MeQuarrie as President, Bob Fox, vice president; Art. Blakely, Sec¬ retary-Treasurer. At the meetings on Thursday night Bob Fox usually gives a lecture on some branch of radio theory. These lectures are followed by practical demonstrations with a radio or other equipment. No knowledge of radio is necessary and new members are always welcome. One of the objects of the radio club is to teach members as much about radio as possible. Each member pays 10 cents a week dues until he has paid 50 cents. After joining the club the members re¬ ceive a card which entitles them to ab¬ out 40% discount at a local radio store. Out of the money collected in dues the club has purchased a radio which they intend to convert into an amplifier (public address system) which will be given to the school. The club wishes to thank Mr. Hugill who agreed to stay after school every Thursday so the club could hold meet¬ ings in his room. Other members who were not present for the picture are Jack Gooby, Guy Patton, Jack Burr and Bob Bennett. Art Blakely. Page Eighty-three 1

BLUE AND WHITE erything points to the continued success of the corps. Concerning the 1939 Cadet Corps, we must mention G. McGorman, the O.C., and Norman Crapper, the band¬ master, for it was their splendid work and leadership that united the efforts of all the members into one huge success¬ ful effort. Bill Flint, under ordinary circum¬ stances, would have been O.C. this year. His now, however, a member of the R. C. A. F. He was one of the most valu¬ able men in the corps, and on leaving takes with him the best wishes of its members. Good luck, Bill! Eddie Roemmele now steps into the office of O.C., and Norm Crapper con¬ tinues as bandmaster with his “makes- you-want-to-march” music. To them we extend our congratulations, and express our confidence in their ability. To the O.C. and his officers, the band and the cadets—Best of luck in 1941! — — V. G. AMBULANCE CORPS This section of the Auxiliary Corps has been progressing rapidly under the direction of Mr. Young. Although not very popular at first the squad now is composed of about thirty boys. Besides their regular study in the St. John’s Am¬ bulance Manual, the boys received lect¬ ures from Dr. H. Campbell, noted phys¬ ician of Windsor. Just before our in¬ spection of the whole cadet corps takes place, the auxiliary units, both signal¬ ling and ambulance, will write exams to see if they understand what they have been taking for the last year. Officers of the Ambulance Corps this year are Jack Graham and Bob Batchelor. Jack Graham. Junior Rugby (Continued from page 67) tricky broken-field runner. On defence he played an intelligent game and in¬ tercepted many passes. Page Eighty-two Eddie Roemmele. Eddie is a veteran at the game, although still a junior. From centre-half posts Ed called the signals and proved to be a good captain for the squad. An injured shoulder forced this boy out of action and the team missed him very much. Ed. Brown. As co-captain, Ed Brown played wonderfully at flying wing. Ed. was a good tackier and always hit the line fearlessly. Alternates. Walt Patterson, Don Mitch¬ ell, Bev. Wood, Ed. Sahagian. Jack Gilli¬ land, John Green, Don Wilson, St?n Butcherd, John Bartlet, Dave McGee, Gerry Childerhouse, Tom Hornsby. Con- ratulations, lads, you played many brill¬ iant games. Senior Basketball (Continued from page 69) makes a very strong guard and has a shot that is extremely hard to block. Ed. Duchaines. Ed played a fine game at guard this year. This boy is one of Walkerville’s veteran sportsmen and proved to be an old reliable on the team. Ed. knows the game backwards and is a sure ball-handler. Ernie Martin. Here is a swift, high scor¬ ing forward who will match any high school forward in Windsor. Ernie left school before the schedule had been completed, but he undoubtedly did more than his share for the team. Leonard Camlis. Here is an all around athlete again. This time Len is throw¬ ing a basketball around in fine style. Len left school bfore the season was over, but while here he proved to be an ex¬ cellent guard and an aggressive for¬ ward. Nick Yareo. Nick didn’t have much chance to display his wares this seme¬ ster, but he was always on hand and made a reliable substitute. Nick gave the lads great moral support. Teams need fellows like you, Nick.

BLUE AND WHITE A St. John’s Fi r s l Aid Class, super¬ vised by Miss Rider, was held every Monday and Wednesday night. Each class had a large turnout. There was al¬ so a Junior Red Cross class. BASKETBALL This year the girls of Walkerville Collegiate did not take part in the Inter- Collegiate basketball. Instead, six teams were chosen from names submitted to Miss Rider. These teams played teams from Patterson and Sandwich Collegi- ates. Interform basketball started shortlv after Christmas and finnllv ended with 12A as the winner of the Interform Shield. This team also played two games with St.. Rose, winning one and losing the other. TENNIS A tennis tournament was started in the fall but was not completed because of bad weather. Next year, arrange¬ ments will be made so that at least one tournament game will take place each ni ht and in this way the tournament will be completed. SOFTBALL Teams comoosed of girls from the different forms played a series of games. The two winning teams are shown in the pictures. Volleyball games are still being play¬ ed during the noon hour. During the winter Miss Saunders has been conduct¬ ing a tumbling class every Thursday and also a Referees’ Class every Tuesday. THE BADMINTON CLUB President - Bettv Green Secretary-Treas. - Connie Lees Every Saturday during the school term from two until five, students may ffiay badminton in th° gymnasium. Al¬ though the memb°rshio has been small this year, those who have come found it very enjoyable. Racouets are supplied for those who have not one of their own, and for the very small fee of five cents birds are supplied. The members would like to express their appreciation to those teachers who so generously don¬ ated one or more Saturday afternoons to be present. It is to be hoped that more students will accept the cordial in¬ vitation of the badminton club to join. I. S. C. F. ‘Inter-School Christian Fellowship ' , what’s that? That’s a question all of us members are called upon to answer every time the notice is read in class. Why don’t you “come an see’’? We are always glad to receive now members in our group. If you can’t possibly stay for our meetings in room 301 after school on Wed. nights, then stay for 15 to 20 minutes for our prayer meetings in 201 on Wed. at noon. These Fellowship groups have been introduced into most of the high schools in Canada and the U.S. from England, and even into universities in which it is known as the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. At our meetings we study parts of the Bible, sing a few choruses and have a time of prayer. You may wonder what fun one can have at these meetings, but you would be surprised at the real en¬ joyment we all derive from our discus¬ sions. We have officers, it is true, but we try to encourage discussion rather than have one person take over the en¬ tire meeting. Louise Armerding, the president, has, of course, charge of it and sees that we do not misbehave. Now just because we have a girl for presid¬ ent doesn’t mean that we don’t want boys to come out. Don’t think it is sissi- fied of you to come to these meetings, boys, because it isn’t. The only “sissies are those who run down our meetings and speak of them with disrespect. Every High School in Windsor has a similar group and once in a while we have gatherings known as “squashes . To these all. or most of the grouns are invited and all certainly get squashed. As no one house has enough chairs for all of these students and leaders to sit Page Eighty-four
