BLUE AND WHITE GIRLS ' TRACK TEAM 1945 BACK ROW: P. Barnby, L. Cullen. J. Rarnby. E. Scorxie, M. Bulmer. G. Bullen. FRONT ROW: B. Marsh. M. Moray. S. Fedoruk. B. Marcoux, J. Hicks. Another sport of interest in W.C.I. is bowling. This particular sport has not been very successful in past seasons, but this year it has been revived by a very able leader. Many students take full advantage of this opportunity to show their skill. Miss Saunders, the instigator of bowling in Walkerville. is back at the school again. For this reason we expect success for the years to come. A game that is gaining attention here is hockey—yes. girls’ hockey. There is real enthusiasm shown for this sport, ami the girls outdo themselves to show the boys that they too can play this game. The league has only recently been star ¬ ed, but we hope that it will attract more girls, and develop better and better players. Badminton is what we term the Sat¬ urday game. Several students come to the school on Saturday to play. I have heard it reported that so far this year it has been quite a success. ( ' .iris’ Track 1945—For the first time in many years, our girls failed to take first place in the W.S.S.A. competition. The team bowed gallantly with a mere 28 points consisting of only one first. Sylvia Fedoruk broke her own record as usual. It’s quite a habit around here, you know. For interesting conversation why not ask Dorothea Harwood how she felt after running the 440 relay. However, we do hope the girls will be back on the winning streak for this spring’s W.O.S. S.A. Meet. If you drop in some Tuesday or Thurs¬ day night at the pool, you’ll see the girls getting ready for the Swimming Meet which will be held sometime in April. They are practising in earnest and hope to walk off with all possible honours. VVe had a good showing at the meet last year and hope to have an even better one this year. Paie Seventy-One

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. (Continued from Page 23) As they ' became familiar with the army life, cadets saw all types of equipment used and received valuable training. Only one thing was missing at camp, and that was mail. 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.
