BLUE AND WHITE $vrlA AtMeticA ) tlie equipment of the different sports. Ask her how she likes it. She was also the managing spirit hack of the girls ' hockey league. Secretary— Dorothea Harwood. As she is also the writer of this article it seems that Dot was chosen because of her abil¬ ity to write so that she herself, at least can understand it. Last September at the beginning of the school year at alkerville C.L, on e of the first things to be accomplished was the organization of the various socie¬ ties, Xot the least among these was the Girls ' Athletic, whose members have done well in organizing and seeing through to a finish the different inter¬ form games. The following are the members elect- eel by the student body : President —Sylvia Fedoruk, Sylvia is one of those people who can ' t be outdone when it comes to accomplishing any¬ thing. She will tackle any job and doesn ' t rest until she sees it through. She has handled her executive position in a most efficient manner. Vice President— Donna Haley, Here ' s another girl who does a good job. It seems she is entrusted with the care of BasketbaF —Ann Saitchuk, You can ' t be surprised to see Ann heading this sport especially if you’ve ever seen her whiz around the floor in a basketball game. She has really done wonders tak¬ ing care of the inter-forms. Volleyball —Helen Happy, Ye had a very successful Volleyball league this fall, Helen is proficient in just about every sport we play. Baseball — Betty M cCormiek. Npth¬ ing much to report on baseball yet but there ' s plenty about Betty—another ver¬ satile girl. We’re expecting wonderful things to happen to baseball when she takes over. Swimming —Pat Barnby. Definitely the right person for this sport. If you ' ve ever seen Pat in the water you ' ll know exactly what I mean. She’s a most enthusiastic member of the society. (Continned on Page 73) Page Sixty-Eight

BLUE AND WHITE GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM BACK ROW: P. Baird. M. Brough. A. Sauclnik. M. Bulmer. B. McConifrck. FRONT ROW: H. Happy. S. Fedoruk. 1). Harwood. Miss McClyinont. A. Wilson. O. Shan- dro, M. Smorong. Absent: J. Dainashe. J. Hicks. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL At this writing, the girls inter-form and inter-school basketball leagues are undecided. The inter-form league is still anyone’s battle. The inter-school team is practising diligently in hopes of cap¬ turing the W.S.S.A. Championship and eventually that of Western Ontario. There are many good players on the team. The forward line is very efficient and with such good players as Ann Wil¬ son and Ann Sauchuk heading the line, we are counting on them to sink many baskets. The team is fortunate in having a strong defense. The girls don’t seem to be afraid to get in there and face their opponent: considering some of the teams they have met, they certainly deserve a lot of credit. The first game was the one against Tech. We’re not yet quite certain wheth¬ er we were good or Tech was out of practice. Nevertheless we did hand them a good trouncing. The team swept through the rest of the season in much the same manner until they met Sand¬ wich. They left us two baskets behind in the final score. We may have a chance to meet them again and we certainly hope that by the time this magazine is printed, we shall have turned the tables on them. No matter who does eventually win. we know that the girls played hard and enjoyed every minute of it. Much of the success of the team goes to the coach. Miss “Pete McClvmont. She always had an encouraging word or pat on tile- hack that made the girls determined to give their best.

Nothing in the world was more welcome than a nice perfumed letter from somewhere at home in Wind¬ sor. Please do not forget our boys this year. They think of you when they’re away.
