BLUE AND WHITE VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS Take a good look at them. These are the girls who swept through the city league without being handed a single de¬ feat. There were times when they left the enemy far behind and had to slow down. I imagine that being captained by Hetty Scorgie had a lot to do with their victories and eventual triumph. I really don’t think that there was any one par¬ ticular player who outshone the others for all the girls were working for the welfare of the team. They were hoping to go out and conquer bigger battles in the W.O.S.S.A. but volleyball was not a VV.O.S.S.A. sport during the past year; maybe we will have an opportunity to enter next year. Across we behold the 1 liter-form champs. Don’t think that they didn ' t work hard for this coveted position be¬ cause every battle that they fought look¬ ed to them to be their last. There was a great deal of interest shown in this sport during the past year and we hope to be able to keep it an enjoyable one for fu¬ ture athletes. (Continued from Page 68) Bowling — Barbara Lees. Here ' s a young lady who is doing wonders with a very temperamental job. She’s so enthus¬ iastic about everything she does that we know she is the right person for it. Badminton —Ann Wilson. Need I say more? I think that Ann has been just about everything on the Athletic Society and yet here she is doing something new. Don’t worry; she knows what it’s all about. Track -Margaret Moray. Marg. really burns up the track when she gets going. Could be that’s why she was chosen for this particular sport. We expect to see her flash bv at any minute. 9 1 ID GIRLS’ INTERFORM BASKETBALL CHAMPS BACK ROW: Mary Edwards, Helen Happy, Betty Davidson. FRONT ROW: Nicky Lavis, Lila Totten, Joan Reid. Athletic Awards—In order to stimulate interest in athletics, the girls’ system of awards is based on a point system. A large “W” is awarded to a girl who earns 25 points or more on the year’s activities. Those with 15 to 25 points are awarded small “W’s”. When a girl has earned enough awards, she receives an athletic pin. while 5 large letters entitles the holder to a gold ring. Last year’s large Y” winners were Ann Wilson, Sylvia Fedoruk, Dorothea Harwood, and Diana I’ilipchuk. A recent winner of the ring is Kav Baird, one of the best athletes to graduate from this school.

BLUE AND WHITE BOYS’ ATHLETIC SOCIETY Honorary President.Mr; X. Ball President...........Lyle Ross Vice President...—.... Wright Bel! Secretary.Harry Marehand Treasurer. .Mr A. C, Brown Assistant Treasurer Harry Longmuir The above executive was elected by the W.C.I, boys by ballot in September, 1945. Because of the many activities in which these officers of the society take part regular meetings have not been held, but a meeting has been called whenever there was a matter to be decided. Posters were obtained to advertise the W.S.S.A, games, cheer leaders were secured for the foot¬ ball games and the ticket sales for all games have been handled by the society. House leagues have been operated for soccer, football, basketball and hockey A search for a larger school trophy case, begun last year, was continued this year but without success and now a built’in case is to be supplied by the Windsor Board of Education. The W,C,L Injured Athletes ' Fund was revived last year and the proceeds of one of the semi-final play-off hockey games, and of a Senior Boys vs Teachers basketball game were added to the benefit fund this year. FOOTBALL This year ' s football team was a team of which Walkerville can well be proud. Starting out the season as the underdog this team went as far as the finals in the city championship series. A great deal of this success was due to the spirit that the fellows on the team showed—time after time the Walkerville Tartans came from behind to win the game. Another and even greater factor in the success of the team was the wonderful job of coaching done by Mr. Forman. There is no doubt about it, Mr. Forman did a remarkable job of rounding out a good team, for. unknown to a lot of people, Walkerville Collegiate had about the smallest squad, numerically, of any school in the city. Very often Mr. Furman found himself without enough players at practice to run a scrimmage. LYLE ROSS (centre half). Lyle was our big gun this year, lie did most of the plunging and kicking and was a moun¬ tain on defence. Lyle was selected lor this year ' s All-City Team, RODNEY (ROD) MONTROSE (cen¬ tre). Rod was line-captain this year and he was both a defensive and an offensive player. DONALD GIBSON (middle), Don was one of the best tacklers on the team and was always a thorn in the side of the opposition breaking up play after play. Page Seventy-Four
