MERCHANDISING ACROSS CANADA and in many parts of the world, Windsor is known as the home of Ford of Canada ' s head office and plant, a large and important factor in Canada ' s trade. In and around Windsor, Ford has a particular importance for young people planning careers. Since its small beginnings in 1904, Ford of Canada has drawn upon the classrooms in the Windsor area for many hundreds of its employees. Within its ex¬ pansive plants are to be found promising, useful futures to satisfy a wide variety of ambitions and abilities. Skilled mechanics, office workers, upholsterers, elec¬ tricians, designers, mechanical engineers —each an essential vocation in the automotive industry. Doubtless many of you will find, as have hundreds of others before you, opportunities and futures with Ford of Canada.

This magazine makes a special appeal to all. for it is the year hook of our graduates and it reviews the various undergraduate interests of our Collegi¬ ate. It deals with formal classroom procedure as well as the cultural and athletic extra-curricular activities which form Mich an important part in character building. During the last three years we have encouraged House Leagues in rugby, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and hockey. These make it possible for all students to play on at least one team We have revived our orchestra and boys ' choir. We feel that these activities develop talents and broaden view¬ points and teach us to admire the opinions and accomplishments of others. The members of the Blue and White staff have had many varied experi¬ ences in preparing this magazine. Their work in si lling advertising, collecting news items and stories, has been an education for them. I feel that this maga¬ zine will give all our students a more intimate knowledge of what our school is doing to develop the varied interests of our undergraduates. W. X.

BLUE A XI) WHITE I 4 7 l.i 64 Citizens In A Greater Canada Written by the Honourable Paul Martin, Minister of National Health and Welfare, for “The Blue and White. Year Book of Walkerville Collegiate, Windsor, Ontario. This year many of the students of Walkerville Collegiate will graduate from the school to enter University or to take their places with the other Canadian men and women in the offices, factories and farms of our great country. In graduating from Walkerville Collegi¬ ate you will leave behind the pleasant associations of your high school years to take up the serious business of becoming mature citizens of Canada. As citizens you assume a partnership in the future and destiny of Canada. As citi..ens you will take an active part in the affairs of your community, your city and your country. It is no light responsibility. It meins much for you and in turn you mean much to your country. Becoming a citizen of Canada means accepting a solemn obligation that is made up of both duties and responsibilities. The fact that you are ready to assume the responsi¬ bilities of citizenship should bring to you a feeling of comradeship, of common unity and common purpose. For the broad meaning of citizenship implies both unity and working together for the common good. We. who have the proud name of Canadian, know that is is a great privilege to bear it. Canada is a fortunate country. It has been endowed by Cod with great result rets. hu citizens have shown themselves to he gifted with energy, intelligence and a high standard of civic responsibility. In the troubled world of to-day Canada is a land blessed with peace and plenty. These advantages and all that flow from them are the heritage of all Canadian citizens. You become equal partners in that heritage. The Canada of the future will be what you and the men and women of your generation make of her. Never in our history has there been a greater opportunity for youth than exists today. My the same token, never were the challenges for youth greater than they are t i-dav. Canada needs vour youth and your strength, and what our country will become depends upon how you serve Canada. One of the hardest tasks is to measure up to the traditions of courage, enterprise and devotion set by the men who have served Canada in the past. I do not mean only the names which you have read and studied in your history books—Champlain. Frontenac; Wolfe and Montcalm: I’apineau and Mackenzie: MacDonald and l.aurier. The list of great Canadians would include the humble men and women whose names are not recorded in any his ' ory hook hut who have made the country that you inherit. They are the men and women who built farms and homes in this great country. They conquered the wilderness and founded our cities. They founded our schools and colleges, built our roads and mapped the wide expanses of our country. The honour roll includes the men who work o ur mines and till the soil and in a hundred different occupations make our country a better place in which to live and work. It is not wealth that makes a country great. It is not physical size nor the number of its population which excel a nation. The real strength of a nation is in the character of its people. That is one of the principal virtues of proper appreciation of the values of citizen¬ ship—that it builds character. Citizenship imposes a duty on each and all of us to be tolerant, understanding and patient. But citizenship is a thing we all have in common, which binds us together and makes us a people. In that common fact — in the pride and the duty of which it is the symbol, lies our unity and our strength. You are about to become partners in your Canadian heritage. I welcome you to your new estate. Me uorthv of it. cherish it. and the future of Canada will be secure.

Back Row: Front Row SCHOLARSHIPS For a long time Walkcrville lias been re¬ nowned for tin- number and value of the scholar- ships her upper school students have proudly anti deservinglv won. Last year, as was certainly apparent at December ' s graduation exercises, we excelled in this respect. Wright Hell, who won an Alumni Scholarship at Assumption College. Both a Dominion-Provin¬ cial Scholarship and the Ernest Creed General Proficiency Medal, donated by lion. Paul Martin. K.C.. M.P.. were won by Sylvia Fedoruk. Phyllis Lugg was presented with a Dominion-Provin¬ cial Scholarship, and Anne Thistlethwaite with the Dickson Scholarship in Modern Languages. The leading lady of the evening was Dorothy Woods whose total winnings amounted to nine hundred and ten dollars. The Walkerville Colle¬ giate Institute Scholarship, awarded by the University of Western Ontario, a Dominion- Provincial Scholarship, the Edith Bowlby Schol¬ arship. awarded by the Mary Gooderham Chap¬ ter. I.O.D.E. for the highest standing in English in Windsor, the J. L. McXaugliton General Pro¬ ficiency Scholarship, the Second Carter Scholar¬ ship—with all these Dorothy brought credit to herself and her school. Other winners last year included Marilyn Bates, who earned a Scholarship in Mathematics at the University of Western Ontario, and Trinity College. University of Toronto. Other bursaries and scholarships amounted to nineteen hundred dollars. The total value of the Scholarships was four thousand, six hundred and forty-five dollars. Some of these continue for four years. This fall. Victoria Rudich was presented with a four-year Music Scholarship at Dtupiesne University in Pittsburgh. Last year ' s students seem to have delivered a challenge. Theirs is a wonderful record, and calls for willingness and work on the part of those in grade thirteen who now follow them, il their accomplishments arc to he equalled. - JANE MAY BEE. BLUE A X I) W H I T E 1947 PUBLIC SPEAKERS B. IVi.lcMIllan. D. Haley, W. Hull PUBLIC SPEAKING Our ln-artiest congratulations to this year’s orator, Barbara MacMillan, a junior girl, who brought oratorical honours to herself and to Walkerville Collegiate, in the Junior girls’ W.S. S.A. contest. Barbara placed first for all the Windsor Secondary schools with the aid of her pleasant voice and her well-chosen topic. Prime Minister McKenzie King. Barbara ' s impromptu in the city contest was. ’Tarty (ianies.” and her impromptu in the Walkerville contest was “My mbit ion—Nursing. In the Senior girls ' contest. Donna Haley was ceded first place since no other girl would com¬ pete against her. But Donna gave her speech re¬ gardless. and proved to us that she certainly has speaking ability. Donna’s main speech was en- Iilled Camp Life.” in which she gave a humour¬ ous and complete oral picture of her interesting life at camp last summer. In her impromptu. United We Stand. Divided We Kail she told of l he state in which the world is today with its atomic bombs and dissatisfied nations. Inciden¬ tally. Donna was runner-up in the Senior girls’ W.S.S.A. contest. The Senior boys were apparently in the same lositiou as the Senior girls, since no boy would compete against Bill Mull. Bill, however, showed no lack of oratorical quality. Speaking on Switz¬ erland . he described her position in the world, past and present. A Good Book to Bead and Why was Bill ' s impromptu. The number of contestants who took part in the junior contests was more inspiring. The run¬ ner up in the Junior girls’ contest was Donna I •� Hipwell. a grade nine student, who gave a very enlightening speech on Customs of India. Handicaps Can Be Overcome was Donna’s in¬ teresting impromptu. Ken Dulmage was the winner in the Junior boys ' competition. Ken showed ability both in his main speech Radio in Our Daily Life , and in his excellent impromptu. The Subject I Like Best. which is History. Runner-up was Jim Muir who spoke on The Phonograph Record. Jim gave complete details in the making of a phonograph record. His impromptu was My hirst Camping Experience. We congratulate all the speakers, both winners and competitors on their excellent showing, and hope that next year more of Walkerville ' s stu¬ dents will capture city honours. —JANE CUTIIBKKT. J2A.

In the press gallery above, the reporters leaned forward, breathing heavily, their damp nervous hands clutching at trembling knees. Deep in the bowels of the stone building came the faint hum of power unleashed. The figure in the chair stiffened, twitched gro¬ tesquely. and fell limp, sagging against the restraining bands. The ghastly odour of scorched flesh permeated the air. causing several report¬ ers to gag and one to vomit violently into a corner. A fat. pale doctor, sweating profusely, stepped forward and adjusted his stethoscope to the prisoner’s chest. After a moment he looked up and announced in a husky, choking voice, that the man was dead. Immediately the report¬ ers fled from the room. Sam Rossi, stood back, bis hands on his hips and watched their departure. Elation bubbled and swished within him. like a fountain new- released by spring from winter ' s icy grip. Laughter surged forth deep in his heavily corded throat and burst from between bis thick lips, lie was free. After months of staring blankly through the iron bars of his cell in Death ' s Row . be was again free to obey bis every impulse, pamper his every whim. Sam had not been free since that bleak night, five months ago when he had shot and killed the night watchman who had blundered upon him attempting to steal the payroll from the office sale of the Darnell Manufacturing Com¬ pany. Sam had been a silent stoical figure throughout the short trial. Unwinking he had faced the barrages of flashing newspaper cam¬ eras and he had not wavered when lie heard the jury ' s verdict and the court ' s damnation. Sam watched the morgue attendants release his limp, burned body from the confines of the electric chair and he laughed again. Then he turned on bis heel and walked through the gray, stone wall. Once outside the prison, a cold wet wind des¬ cended from the blackness above and swept Sam ' s spiritual form, twisting and turning in its relentless grip, aloft. W hen lie opened his eves he found himself sitting sick and frightened n an endless sea of clouds, before an immense gate, before him stood a tall shrouded figure. The weird apparition uttered no sound and for a seemingly endless time continued to stare over Sam ' s head into the space behind him. Sam felt an eerie sensation slither up his spine and the short hair on bis neck prickled uncomfortably. When he could bear the suspense no longer, be turned and gazed in terror at the figure of the night watchman he had murdered, silently stand¬ ing there. Blood still ran from the gaping bullet wound in bis forebead and some of it splattered soundlessly upon Sam. as the dead man solemnly nodded at the shrouded spectre before the gate. Upon receiving ibis signal the apparition drew forth, from the folds of the ghostly garment, a large key. turned abruptly and fitted it into an enormous padlock on the gate, barring forever Sam ' s entry into the region. The hooded figure again wordlessly faced Sam and it- left hand poin.ed a bony linger i.ito the dislan. beyond. The cold wet wind relume- ..ml ■ ... .. .. thirled Sam into tin darkness. He was deposited this time upon the ! •::.k of a large black pit and it was then tha ' he realized bis inevitable fate. Fearfully be began to des¬ cend. Although be could see naught but darkness. Sam knew from the blast of arid heat upon his face that the door of Hell would not be locked to him. as was the door of Heaven. —FLOYD WKiR. 12E. BY ZENOVIA SAWICH BLl’F. AND WHITE I V 4 7 2A SECOND PRIZE The Grace and Beauty of Girls To-day From a high-school boy ' s point of view, the situation is positively alarming. .Most of the girls in their ' teens, and many over, do not seem to have developed those subtle charms which make them grown women instead of bobby-sox swooners: whereas a few genera¬ tions hack, at the same age they would be filling the position of w ife and would be expected to till that office capably. I will illustrate first, the high school version of a girl that drives men away. Let us meet her in school, where the conservative surroundings of the school make her dress and manner more startling by contrast. Her greeting is far too loud, but that doesn ' t bother her. for most of her friends do not know how to tone down either. Imagine the confusion of a graduate of ten years ago should he return to our halls and be ad¬ dressed by one of these. I le would be stopped cold by: How ' s yer engine perkin ' these days, drip? Whaddya mean ya don ' t know what I mean ' : Von born yestiddy or soinp ' n ? If you don ' t dig what I ' m sendin ' . 1 take it you ' re a square! See me in a few years, when you can dig my jive, and in the meantime, don ' t be glum chum. Our visitor from yesteryear stands dazed. Even in the short explosion of the conversation, he had a very good look at her. and now he stands puzzled as to how it could be possible. From the top of her frowsy, dyed hair to the tip of her nail polished toes peeking out at the end of a pair of green, yellow, and red striped sandals, she re¬ sembles nothing human that he has ever know n. From our own standpoint to-day. she is not very becoming, either. About this time in a girl ' s life, the education in cosmetics starts, and she tries too hard to learn how to look beautiful. Her hair styles do not become the contours of her face, her makeup is a quarter inch too thick, her lipstick reaches beyond the natural curves of her lips, her sweater is too loose or too tight, her skirt is too short, ( even slacks are very revealing if they are worn as a lot of girls do wear them to¬ day.) : and her leg paint is streaky. In other words, she is a mess. As a male 1 must admit that makeup can contribute to a girl ' s charms, but only if it is administered by an expert, and not plastered on by the girl that cares little for colour harmony. but. as always, there is the brighter side of the story. Not all girls are succumbing to the wild an¬ tics of a number of other members of their sex. hut rather are growing up naturally, instead of trying to hurry themselves. These girls have a much easier time with their parents, school and boys, because they grow mature by east stages, and because they conform to the way of the world, which is definitely not as easily changed as some women ' s minds. - lit Hi SNYDER. 12H.

Ub. 24 BLUE AX l WHITE 1947 THIRD PRIZE THE LETTER WAS NEVER FINISHED My clearest l’at: I love you . . The pen stopped scratching as Jim paused for a moments reflection. He stirred the ink in the bottle be¬ fore him. and was about to resume his letter when he became aware of the approach of his long-legged, heavily-footed room-mate. lie stuffed his writing paper under a notebook, and. assuming as innocent an expression as possible, smiled up at the solidly-built voting man who bad just entered. What are you up to. Jim? Nothing but a bit of philosophy. Hill. Say. didn’t Mrs. Martin ask you to pick up her new suit on the way home? Curse every hair in the prophet’s beard! Hill exclaimed, lie threw his books into an empty arm-chair, and hurried out of the room. Jim started again: I must see you this week¬ end. Every moment which is not graced by your sweet lips, your lovely hair, your gracious gaze, is like an eternity upon a burning, drought-dried desert. Let me but taste of the sugared cup of reciprocate love, and I. poor beggar, fired with royal wine, shall on to immortality . . . The paper fairly leapt to a place of concealment as a quiet rap at the study door announced a visitor. Precious Patricia! he moaned. It’s the pro¬ fessor. and I haven’t worked out those statistics for him yet. A quarter of tin hour later Jim was alone again. The pen scratched on and on. His rather plain face reddened with a passion of a definitely exothermic nature. Sincerity’s sweet sweat never stood out so noticeably on a busy brow. His eves glowed as his love took to paper like the pro¬ verbial duck to water. A light touch on the shoulder accompanied the words. What fools we mortals be! Jim jumped to bis feet and turned to face a short, confident-looking fellow who had been standing over him. grinning from ear to ear. Sorry to interrupt you. Jim. but I just couldn’t resist, and besides that. be continued in a more serious tone. I have a bit of interest¬ ing information re your impeccable Pat. And what. O Cupid of the light foot anti merry heart, are the tidings you bear of my Princess Patricia? queried Jim. who changed an angry scowl to an inquisitive grin on these last words. My friend, you have been double-dealt: knifed nicely indeed between the twelfth and thirteenth vertebrae. To put it bluntly. Miss Patricia Klane is no longer eligible meat for you. my craven carnivore—she is married. You jest, friend Falstaff, Jim said in un¬ belief. With a line like yours, it’s a miracle you held on to her as long as you did. my most eloquent of elephants. Hut. here—read for your¬ self. and he produced a clipping from a local newspaper which verified his statements. Jim sat mute at his desk for the next hour. Cupid had departed for safer quarters, leaving the thwarted lover to himself. Suddenly he noticed the letter be had been writing. He picked it up. and turning it over, crushed it deliberately in his big bands, lie sought to wring from it all the feeling that bail gone into its creation. He struck a match and held it close to the crumpled little ball. It burned to a crisp on the top of the desk—a burnt offering to a lost love. With a whisper he sent the charred remains billowing away like a cremated caress. AXC.CS MacMILLAX, 12A. SECOND PRIZE DON’T YOU KNOW? Don’t you know you’re beautiful.

LINGUAL EXPERIENCES Until that fateful fall of ' 43. I had as much desire to speak French or quote Latin as to meet an Australian Bushman. Necessity and “villains.” namely, the teachers of Walkervillc Collegiate Institute, changed these conditions. Till this time, my French vocabulary consisted of a few glib phrases such as: Parlez-vous I ' ran- cais?” and touche! The meanings, however, were not contained therein. The first day at W.C.I. a Mr. Waddell burst into noire classe de francais with the words: “Bonjour, la classe. X’eedless to say. little hearts went fluttering and minds were set busy devis¬ ing translations for such a difficult passage. We progressed, and it was not too long before we could converse in tortured French on some everyday subjects. As I look back I realize that we must have sounded like this: How goes she to-day?” I go to the house of the school and am busy standing up straight all around the morning ' The book 1 begged you to myself lend, he came, and to you I thank much but truly are you not out put?” Xo more of it talk: never talk again. It was nothing yet. It to me makes much happiness it to do for you. After this, our class was not the same. In us was born that lust for higher l earning. We received some with Mr. Klinek. To our vocabu¬ lary were added such sentiments as: la ferine ile nous. ah! ces ponies! , and la belle cam- pagne de Roseland. However, another gloom appeared on the horizon—Latin! Perhaps it was inevitable that such teachers as had taught a living language as if it were dead, should now teach a dead language as if it were buried. From a simple start, the work piled up—de¬ clensions. conjugations, comparatives, passives. I.ivy. Xepos. subjunctives, miscellaneous indirect forms and sequence of tenses—until the weary soul cried out. “Xo more!! Yet who am I to talk—a lowly fourth-former still not able to tell an indirect command from a purpose clause! I must struggle on with the rest: I too must grope for the daylight. Per¬ haps. in later years. I may be able to look back on this as one of the happiest times of my life. To me it seems appropriate that over the main entrance of alma mater there should be a si m saying: Through these portals pass some of the hardest-working students in the country and the luckiest for it. —1( MIX BAR! iEX.

In tact, many people, sad to say. have never even heard of doodling. The practice of doodling is one which nearly anyone with average or even under-aver¬ age intelligence can master. There are very fe w professional doodlers in this country, and so. if you find a hidden talent for this fine art. why not make it your lifetime work? The necessary tools for doodling are not difli- ctil to obtain. For a beginner or an amateur, the best plan is to have a little corner by yourself with a comfortable chair, a telephone, a paper, a pencil and someone on the other end of the telephone line. Then ou may doodle away in leisure for hours. Some of the more common designs of doodling are tooth-pick men. gaily marching up and down stairs and disappearing into space, fancy hearts and laeey designs, birds with feathers and cur- lique tails, dogs with wings, and that fascinating little game of x ' s and o ' s. Once vou have become well-trained in wield¬ ing that wicked pencil, you will unconsciously find yourself doodling away merrily in class, at meetings, at lectures, or while doing your home¬ work. Do not worry if people object to your doodling when you should be working. They will forgive you when you become famous. Some doodlers have become very celebrated and their works may be seen in the modern art exhibits. Salvador Dali is one of these well- known doodlers but he is more commonly known as a surrealist. He seems to specialize in bony lingers and staring eyes which glare at you from all directions. Do not worry, however, if these prizes give you nightmares, for some doodling specimens can be very pleasant to look at. One of these days, some bright fellow is going to invent a way by which your fortune or psy¬ choanalysis can be read by analysing a specimen of your doodling. Until this time comes, how¬ ever. keep improving your doodling, and perhaps some day you will be able to draw curly cats and furry fish w ith your eves closed, your back turned, and a penc il perched between yo.u.r toes. Then will you be able to say proudly. I am a doodler. 1! KBAKA T IT, 11A. SHAKESPEARE A great man. horn in dim obscurity. I it the great years of famed Elizabeth.

In later years, he created many more And each one brought him further to the fore. He told of tortured Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: He wove the tale of Caesar’s fame in Rome: He opened wide the soul of dark Othello: Sent countless warring kings victorious home.

The students of Walkerville now use the name for I heir school organization. The Agora is composed of the Student Body, which is represented by an executive. The exe¬ cutive consists of four representatives, two girls and two boys from each form who meet to¬ gether monthly to discuss the necessary business. There are also two students from each class, one girl and one boy. who inform the class of the executive ' s meetings and of any new idea which has been adopted by the Agora. This year the Agora, Walkervillc ' s Student Council, again settled down for a busy year. With the guidance of capable officers ami with the kind advice of teachers and students alike the Agora has done an excellent job. One of the Agora ' s first tasks this year was the sponsoring of the very successful Gambler ' s Gambol, in the school gymnasium. A Grade IX party and the Commencement Dance were also put on by the Agora. The Agora sold Christinas cards, kept up the J. L. McNaughton Scholar¬ ship. helped in the buying of a picture machine for the school, and supervised the purchase of ping pong tables for the students ' use. 32 B L L K A N D W H I T E 1 ' ) J 7 GIRLS ' CIIOIR BOYS’ CHOIR B L U F.

At the annual Commencement in December, the girls sang “The Holy City by Stephen Adams, with Debussy ' s Romance as an encore. Coder the splendid direction of .Miss Saunders, and with the able assistance of Dorothy liuhner at the piano, the choir again brought forth its main talents in February when it sang Bach- Gounod ' s Avc Maria in Latin. Toreador from Carmen, and Water Hoy”, a song of the old south. The girls and Miss Saunders are looking for¬ ward to the Music Festival in April when they will again have a chance to display their abilities. BOYS’ CHOIR 1 his year a small but colourful boys’ chorus was brought back into existence under the capable direction of Miss MacIntyre. Two im¬ pressive presentations were made, one at the school commencement and the other at the school concert in February. It is hoped that this boys ' choir will be enlarged and will go on to still greater achievements in the future. DRAMATIC SOCIETY The following are the Officers of the Dramatic Club for the year 1946-1 47: Honorary President . Mr. Bull President .Barbara Lees Vice-President.Stuart Johnston Secretary.Helen Macl’hee Treasurer . . . . Miss E. Bobbins Property Mistress .Mine Sauchuk Stage Manager. Bill Hull The Chib ' s first play this year was presented at Commencement. Dec. 20. The play, entitled The Castle of Mr. Simpson. was a one-act comedy under the direction of Miss Hartmann. The cast included Andy Reid, Jane Maybee. June Tarleton. Xatalie Cybulak. Helen MacPhee. Bill Woodruff. Howard Thompson and David I lolmes. The Dramatic Society also presented a two- act comedy. The Dumb Wife oi Cheapside.” at the School Concert on February 27-2S. The play was excellently given, and was under the able direction of Miss Robbins. Members of the cast were: George Sale. Andrew Reid. Bill Woodruff. Carol Gregory. Pat Barnby. Stuart Johnston, Angus MacMillan, and Bob Erdelan. The Dramatic Club has again done a wonder¬ ful job in the producing of plays for the benefit of the Student Body. The students have greatlv enjoyed both presentations which owe their success to the hard work done In the directors and casts. BI.UE A N D W H I T E 1947 CONCERT ORCH ESTRA CLASSICAL ORCHESTRA Something new has heen added! Walkerville now has a classical orchestra which is llie only organization of its kind in the Windsor Secondary Schools. The credit for this organization goes to Mr. Brown. who lias willingly given a great deal of time to it. After Christinas, he was anxious to form the orchestra and was amazed at the enthusiasm shown by the students. Composed of some thirty students, under (In¬ direction of Mr. I’rown. the orchestra made it ' first public appearance on the night of the school concert in February. They opened the pro¬ gramme with O. Canada, and continued with Yankee Rhythm. a medley of songs of the south, and Cellar’s Cold and Silver waltz. On April 2nd. this successful organization put on an excellent exhibition at the Musical Festival of the high schools of this city. Mr. Brown not only hopes to continue this gr mp next year, but to enlarge the membership. Any student with musical ambitions is urged to join. DANCE ORCHESTRA Under the direction of Mr. Brown. Walker- ville ' s dance orchestra has made rapid strides this year. They played at the (iradualion Dance and at several Tea Dances. The orchestra holds regular practices, which indeed benefit it. for their orchestrations, vocal and instrumental solos are very well performed. Such numbers as Little Brown Jug. Blue Skies. and Two o ' clock Jump which appeal greatly to the dancers are attempted. We must congratulate Mr. Brown and the members for having attained a high standard of musicianship and for affording pleasure and entertainment for the students of the school. DANCE ORCHESTRA 1$ I.

Out of seven pos¬ sible awards for K. C. A. C. competitions, the cadets of Walkerville came first in four and second in the remaining three. This i- a record of which the students of V. ( ' • I. can be justly proud. A great deal of credit goes to the Commanding Officer. Cadet Lieutenant-Colonel Norman I.. Marshall. W e who have served under his com¬ mand shall always remember the steadiness oi his person, the serious tone of his voice ami his desire to bring glory to the cadets of Walker¬ ville. As last year ' s Commanding Officer, we have asked Norm to honour us with a few words: Although only six months have passed. I can truthfully say. for myself and fellow graduates, that our sojourn at W ' .C.I will never be forgot¬ ten. Manv times have I heard the name Walk¬ erville. proudly spoken. I lit many occasions have good times been recalled and ever pres¬ ent are names like assemblies, Gambler ' s Gant- hcl. the Military Hall, the gora, and the ever victorious 108b K. C. A. C. As the former president of lhe� student coun¬ cil. I wish to thank this year ' s Agora for the en¬ thusiasm and keen enterprise again displayed. Yours is a strenuous task. Good luck in all your endeavours. It was. indeed, a great honour to have com¬ manded the W . C. I. cadet corps. I shall never forget the Tartan spirit, nor my fellow cadets who won for Walkerville so many honours and so high a place among the cadet corps of Canada. I have talked with many men at university, and each one knew and respected the Walkerville Collegiate Cadet Corps.

Special tribute should be paid to our cadet in¬ structors for they are the men who have built the firm foundation upon which our corps rests. We. the cadets of W. C.

We are |iiite certain that another excellent showing will be made at this war ' s inspection under the command of Cadet I.t.-Col. Don Hibson. Walkerville was honoured last year by the gift of two trophies, the Bryn Davies Memorial Trophy, to be presented to the best cadet of each year, and the MacMillan Trophy for the best company of each year.

The O. R. A. champions are: X. Grabb (9 1. S. Johnson (99). J. Kttrylo (97). II. Ord (‘ 9). R. Montrose ( 100). L Dewar (98). |). (iiins.m ’ 6). B. Graham I ' D). J. Upton (9R). F. Marchand ex ' )!.

Dewar (97). X. Grabb (100). V. Spakowski (97). It. Stevenson (9S). I. Main (96). J. Brown (93). and F. Joyce (99). Besides winning the two Provincial trophies, the rifle teams stood second in both the Do¬ minion competitions, the Royal Military College, with an average of 98.2 ' .. and the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association, with an average of 97.6 ' .. The Strathcona Trust Medal, presented to the best shot in the school, went to Rod Montrose. Rod also won the special D. C. R. A. medal lor submitting the highest score in the I). C. R. V competitions. The outstanding shot for the junior competitors was Ian Main who receive! the Major McLean Trophy. Although the team of last year was probably the best to date in the rifle competitions, we an¬ ticipate the team of 1947 to rival, if not surpass, last year ' s. Under the command of Cadet Capt. Don (jib- son and Cadet l.t. Bob. Mapes. the Ambulance Corps made a very commendable showing at last year ' s inspection. The W. C.

For the first time, the Wallace Nesbitt Trophy will be presented this year to the best cadet ambulance corps in the Dominion. Again, the Ambulance Corps of Walkerville has shown its efficiency by winning the senior eliminations and coming second in the junior eliminations, for M. I). No. 1. The senior team will enter the final eliminations which will be later in the season— I lest of luck ! ruder the leadership of Mr. Allison, the bugle band of W. C. I. gave a fine show ing at Stodgell I’ark. Headed by Cadet Hand Sgt.-Major Hill Peterson, the tartan clad buglers, with their pre¬ vision drill, smart appearance, and inspiring mu¬ sic captured the admiration of the spectators. The bugle band has brought glory to Walkerville not only in past inspections but also on the local gridiron. During this year ' s game with Patterson, the band pul on a splendid exhibition at half-time. With apparent ease, they climaxed their show by forming first a W” followed by a P . Despite the short time that the pipe band has been organized, it has progressed rapidly under the direction of Mr. Jock Copland. For the last two inspections, the pipe band under the com¬ mand of Cadet 1.1. Ted Hartlet. has aroused the lighting spirit ol our cadets wi ' sic bonnie tunes as “Highland Laddie. This year, the band as a whole w ill be commanded by Hill Peterson, w ith Don McXaughton in charge of the pipers. Last year the signalling corps carried on with the typical Walkerville proficiency. With most of the Mover Cup team back at school, it easily won the Moyer Cup for the second consecutive year. The team consisted of such seasoned veterans as Hob (iirling (O. C. of Signals). Norm Marshall. Ed. Crispin and Hill Ord as w ell as others w ho are back this year. Our new recruits also came through with flying colours, most of whom passed not only their elementary but also their advanced certificates in their first ear. W ith so CADET CANDIDS manv advanced signallers available. Mr. Furman intends to enter two Moyer Clip teams this year. In addition to Morse (flag, key and lamp) and Field Telephones, instructions will he given on the Mk l ' short wave set which is a new addition to our signalling equipment at the present time, the Mk l 11 is in daily communication with Voca¬ tional. I’attcrson and the RFCCH’s who likewise have sets. In the near future, some of the mem¬ bers of the signals will have the privilege of ac¬ companying the R KCCi. ' s on a scheme , using these short wave sets. All the instruction is carried on by members of the Moyer Cup team and to their untiring, pa¬ tient efforts must go all the credit for the splen¬ did work of the Signalling Corps. Such chaps as J. Colwill. It. Stevenson. R. Roy. V. Card. R. Martin and others are to be sincerely congratu¬ lated for the fine showing that this year ' s class has made to date. Those who attended last year ' s cadet camp at Ipperwash will always cherish the fond memories of good times. Undoubtedly, the mention of camp will immediately remind such fellows as Rod Montrose. Doug Montrose. I.cn I’oslovit and many others of the terrible eleventh ' , of the nights spent in the one-room building that had a small barred window, a table and a bunk—the best “klink in Canada. Hob Hethridge will prob¬ ably remember the day be scrubbed the floors for being A.W . ).!.. the night before. The cadets are earnestly looking forward to next year ' s camp. As cadets, let us resolve not only to maintain the tradition the corps of the past years have es¬ tablished but also to endeavour to grasp the high¬ est standards of cadet work. As citizens of Canada let us resolve to maintain our heritage, the right to democracy. ACER ACER FORT ' 44 BLUE AND WHITE 1947 COM I’l.I MKNTS OF Ivan Sales’ Beauty Salon j Adams Drug Company Ltd.

Girls’ Athletic swimming repre¬ sentative. and Miss Martin, really worked hard on tlic- teams this year and their efforts certainly paid off I The girls took the honours of the evening from the Kennedy girls by the score of 51 to 40. the Juniors winning 31 points and the Seniors 20. Frances Hums walked off with the Junior Girls ' individual championship for the second straight year with firsts in both the free style and the breast stroke. Jo Halogh took a second in the back stroke. C arol Davies got a first in the style and Peggy Metrophanuk won the Junior diving. For the Seniors Jean MacDonald gained a fourth in the free style and a lirst in the back stroke. Seconds were won by Shirley Davidson in the diving and by Leslie Pond in the style swimming. Walkervillc won the Senior relay, took seconds in both the Junior and tirade Ten relays and placed third in the Grade .Vine relay. Much of the credit for the win goes to Miss Martin, a champ swimmer in her own right, who coached the girls in the little things that make winning swimmers. W ilma Allen who directed volleyball in W ' .C’.f. worked hard at her job and always did well, what w-as expected of iter. The schedule this year ran from Oct. ' ) to the finals which went up to Dec. 13. amounting, at the rate of 2 games a day, to approximately S4 games. Among the teams to make the semi-finals were l). 9F. 10A. 1015 and Cl in the junior league, and HA. 111!. 111). 1211. 12C M . l.K’ and ( II in the senior league, with ..id Hi; finally proving the champions in tlu ' i respective leagues. In the final game, the girls from 1113 were victorious and rightfully proclaimed, the champions of the school. Ilccausc school was late in getting started this year an inter-school league could not be formed. To make tip for this, there were 3 “play-days” held at Kennedy. The first was for the grade nines with a girl from K. C. 1. in complete charge, the second for the seniors Grades 11, 12. and 13 w ith Wilma Allen in charge and the third play- day” was for grade ten. Eleven of the best volleyball players in each of these groups were chosen from each school. The teams were composed of players from each school, so for the play-day ' s purpose was not really for the com¬ petition it created, hut more for the enjoyment the girls got out of it. X’cxt year we are hoping to again have W . S. S. A. volleyball and perhaps even W.U.S.S.A. competition. Back Row: S. Dayus, L. Pond. J. Damashe. H. MncPhee, M. Bulmer. Front Row: Miss Saunders. M.

There is a meeting of these offi¬ cers the first Wednesday of every month at which the girls discuss means of making and spending money, the buying of equipment, and all other matters pertaining to the girls ' sport activities. Miss Saunders and Miss Martin both lend a helping band, at the meetings. Resides doing much toward the betterment of sports equipment and keeping all the girls generally satisfied with the activities of the year, the Girls ' Athletic Executive sponsored the lirst Tea Dance that was held in .t.l. The year ' s activities have been carried out well and all the girls on the exe tith e displayed keen interest in their individual departments. TROPHIES For a long time the girls ' trophy case has been adorned with boys ' cups and shields, but ibis year the Girls ' Athletic went to work to remedy the situation. A trophy was procured , for every sport: the baseball trophy was donated by Waffle ' s Electric, bowling by ilkinson s. volleyball by Varsity Sport Shop, swimming by Scout Radio Electric, tennis by Walkerville Sport Shop and track by Sansburn and Pashley. All these cups will be presented at the Athletic- Assembly in the spring. At least the girls have some incentive for competition, and the better the competition, the better the sport. li I. l T !• ' AND WHITE 1947 57 GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM BASKETBALL Millie Smorong was the basketball repre¬ sentative this year. As Millie was on the inter- school team, she took an interest in her work and lined np games for each class. The sched¬ ules ran until sometime around Easter with each class playing 3 games. At the time of this writing, the Junior and Senior champions are still to be determined. Regarding the inter-school team, although the girls worked hard. W.C.I. unfortunately did not place in the finals. Walkerville came out on the small end of the horn in regard to wins, but the girls displayed good teamwork as well as individual play. They have a new six-man defensive play which was effective at times, and the guarding, especially in the game with Sand¬ wich. is certainly worthy of mention. The whole team, but particularly the forwards, played a good game against St. Joseph ' s. Enthusiasm was fostered among the girls of the games by our coach. Miss Martin, whose able direction, individually and collectively, was an in¬ spiration to all. Manager of the team was icky I.avis. who always had an encouraging word for the girls. MII.I.IE SMOROXG Captain—centre for¬ ward and high scorer of the season w ith a grand total of 34 points. OLGA SIIAXORO Right forward Olga works hard and has a good eye for long shots. MARG. lil’L.MER—Left forward—a fast- breaking forward who shows a good all-around style of playing. MAXIXE I.EITCH—Centre guard — Maxine displays plenty of good playing and quick think¬ ing. JACKIE DAM ASHE-Right guard —Jackie always did a good job of guarding her man and proved to be a good ball handler. I’AT ISA I R1J Left guard I’at was fast and was alwa; right where she was needed. Alternates were: Shirley Davidson. June Tarleton, Xancy Steele. Helen MacRhee, Emily Eglinskv. and Jean Chalmers who joined the girls near the end of the season. Unfortunately poor health kept Anne Sauchuk from playing in all but two games. CM. INTERFORM BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS BASEBALL Jackie Damashe was elected convenor for base¬ ball. If you will remember. Jacky set a new record last year for W.C.I. in the baseball throw, throwing the ball 171 feet. Fall is not a particularly active season for baseball at Walkerville. although schedules were drawn up for Grade 9. Each class played 3 games and 9F took the championship. However, there will be a great deal of action in the spring when the regular season gets started. onno.njlAnn nA An Vnr GIRLS SWIMMING TEAM 58 B L U E A X 1) YV HITE 1947 GIRLS TENNIS TEAM TENNIS lleicii MacPhcc was elected to look after Ten¬ nis and she certainly proved to he an excellent girl for this joh. To add to the many previliges the students have at Walkerville Collegiate, girls who were interested and who wanted to learn the game of tennis were given such a chance in the fall. Their teachers were the girls who had competed in the tournament. The winner of the tournament at Walkerville was Margo Master with Margaret Houston liv¬ ing the runner-up. There was a tournament held at Kennedy in which six girls represented Walkerville. L ' nfortunately, none of our girls placed in the finals. Tennis is an interesting game, so let ' s try to have more girls take part. PING PONG Another new sport has been instituted at Walk- erville. Friends of the school have generously donated money for ping pong tables and equip¬ ment and now the whole school is ping pong conscious—ping pong before nine, at noon and tiller four until the school closes. Some enthusi¬ asts even take a whack at the ball between periods. Everyone tries his hand! A tournament was organized by Hill Woodruf! and he really has his hands full with 4.5 entries for the hoys. Right now the competition is in the third round with many hard games still to be played. The girls’ half of the tournament with 14 en¬ tries was handled by Jackie Danmshe. Champ for the girls is Donna Haley, who nosed out Daphne Column in a hard fought battle, three games to two. Two more tables are on the way and every¬ one is preparing for the big night when the students take on the teachers in a real exhibi¬ tion of brains against brawn. BOWLING Beverly Xantais was originally elected by the students as convenor for bowling. However, when she left school. Sally Davits replaced her. Sally was an ardent worker and proved herself as such by keeping the girls well informed of their team standing as well as individual aver¬ ages. Bowling was quite successful this year—there were 10 teams with 6 players each. The girls turned out at the Palace Recreation every ' Thurs¬ day after school to bowl 2 games. Awards this year, were presented to Team VI—Jane Maybee (captain), Margaret Suflield. Bev. Pogue. Vicky Lavis. Barbara MacMillan. Pat Martin. Gene¬ vieve Cover and Mary Thatcher. Sally, our con¬ vener. was also presented with an award for being the high scorer for the season with an average of 161. The instigator of the game at W.C.I.. Miss Saunders, came down several days lo watch us and help us improve our scores. 11B. INTERFORM VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS BADMINTON For several years the badminton club had been under the direction of the lirls Athletic So¬ ciety. but this year the club became a separate organization headed by both boys and girls. There was a good turn-out this season, with as much quality as there was quantity. The club, under the able coaching of Stuart Johnston, has promise of giving its Riverside friends a very lively tournament this spring. Stuart and Donna Haley are the spark-plugs o! the team, and are backed by club members who play the game with real enthusiasm.

' W H 1 T !•: 19 4 7 SENIOR RUGBY 1946 Fortune was not with our rugby team this year for we went through the season without a win. In spite of these setbacks, the spirit of the team was always high and with the experience gained this year the Y. O. S. S. A. Championship should be taken by our Tartans next year. This year found our capable coach. Mr. For¬ man, without any of last year ' s regular back- fielders in the line-up. What the new lads Lack¬ ed in experience, they made up for in eagerness to learn. Such men should account for many points next season. Our line was one of the heaviest in the city and proved to have great power, especially when By GERALD NEELY the odds were against us. Fighting hard, our boys never gave up till the final whistle blew. Many times we had the opposition outplayed but with luck against us we never came out on top. Rod Montrose and Don Gibson were this year’s co-captains. A vote of thanks must be given to Ian Wilkie. Stuart Johnston and Richard Stevenson for their superb job as managers. We of the leant were proud of the support we received from the stu¬ dents The real test of a school ' s spirit is the support it gives even when its team is down. I.et us wish next year ' s team all the success it deserves. Good luck. boys. BOYS’ SWIMMING In this year ' s inter-school swimming meet the boys ' team collected a total of 28 points, seven more than last year and the highest score of any W.C.I. boys ' team yet. Sargent, with a lirst in the diving event and a third in the breast stroke, was high man ii: the Junior division. Douglas, with two fourth ' s in the 40 yard and 100 yard free style, and Morris, with a fourth in 40 yard back stroke, were the other Junior point-getters. A first in the 40 yard back stroke and a third in the 40 yard free style gave Joe Catozzi high honours for the Seniors and Dave Enkin, with a third in the breast stroke was next. The Grade Nine relay, composed of McKnighl. McCartney. Douglas and Sandstedt. took third place in their event. Third ' s were also gained by the Grade Ten relay team of Elrix. Bettridge. Stibocz and Mills, and bv the Junior relay team of Forsyth. Sargent. B. Martin and H. Morris. Also third was the Senior relay team of Catozzi. Mussebnan. Dulvick and L.etto. ltoth Mr. Xighswander and Mr. Waddell worked hard coaching the teams and are look¬ ing forward to next year ' s meet.

SOCCER For the second successive year, the Trophy Craft Cup. emblematic of soccer supremacy in Western Ontario, again reposes among the tro¬ phies of W. C. 1. A great deal of the credit for the team ' s excellent showing should go to Mr. Young, for it was his coaching and advice during games and practices that kept the fellows on the mark. Credit should also he given for the spirit shown by the fellows during the games. At times their playing looked pretty ragged, but when they had to play hard to win. they gave everything they had. In the fight for W. S. S. A. honours, the Senior team played nine games, two each against four other schools in the city and one sudden death game against Patterson for the city champion¬ ship. Of the eight games. Y. C. 1. lost one and tied one. to top the league with thirteen points. Walkerville won the W. S. S. A. championship In- defeating Patterson 1-0: Pollard got the only goal in the first few minutes of play. The fine defensive work of the Walkerville backs and goalie stopped all the Patterson attempts to score, in the W. (). S. S. A. semi-finals, the Tar¬ tans went to Chatham to play CAM. Chatham tallied their goal in the fourth minute of play ami held off all W. C. I. attacks until the last two minutes of play, when Puioll scored on a high looping shot. There was no scoring at the end of regulation time and four more five minute overtime periods had to be played. Play was finally called because of a combination of fog and darkness that had fallen over the field, ob¬ scuring the vision of players, spectators and referees alike. Because only two substitutes were allowed most members of the team played the full eighty minutes in what was, for them, their hardest game. The next day Chatham played at Walkerville. The Chathamites again scored in the first few minutes of play, hut a shot by Keyes tied up the game. Stankov and Welch made certain of victory when they forced the goalie and ball into the net. The Tartans won the W. O. S. S. A. champion¬ ship with an easy 6-0 victory over the same Hanover team that they played last year. The team that played at London lined up with Bill White in goal. Ian Main and Andy lnchowich as fullbacks; (Jerry Xecly. F.d Skarbek and Mike Kozina at the halfback positions: Stephen Wis- ter. Karl Keyes. George Irimescu. Joe Stankov and Chits. Pollard oil the forward line. George Puioll and Art Wilson w ere the alternates. 4 BLUE AND WHITE 1947 BOYS TENNIS TEAM JUNIOR BOYS’ CITY TENNIS Lust year, for tlu- first time officially. Wind sor ' s secondary schools had a tennis rivalry created, under the auspices of the Jackson I ' ark Tennis Association. With their assistance and the use of their courts in Jackson I’ark each school presented a tennis team. However, it may he added, that the tournament was open to any hoy of 18 and under, whether he was going to school or not. thus acclaiming it a city-wide tour¬ nament. Walkerville hoys took full honours in lutth singles and doubles. Stuart Musgrave won the singles champion¬ ship after many games of keen and closely con¬ tested play. Then Musgrave doubled up with | ' ' red Clarice and defeated Stuart Johnston and Alex Adsett after a very close match of. 8-6. 0-4. It may ' . noted that even the finalists besides the champs in the doubles were from Walkerville. There ' s no stopping Walkerville once they get on the march. Next summer the school hopes to send a tennis team to compete in the W.O.S.S.A. tennis meet held at London. More power to you boys. A is for Alex who writes you this poem, □ SENIOR BASKETBALL Although suffering from the loss from last year’s W.S.S.A. championship squad of such stars as Frank Marchand. Jack Newby and (ilenn Gilliland, the team did justice to its coach. Mr. Allison, and the school. The squad had tough luck against several strong teams in pre-season exhibitions, but they started the regular sechedtile with an upset oyer a supposedly superior Kennedy five. Then fol¬ lowed two hard fought games with the Raiders and the Panthers, which the quintet dropped. Pitted against Riverside, the Tartans rallied to keep in the race by defeating the continuation school hoys by score of 36-34. Having a 50 ' Jo average as they came in contact with the Spar¬ tans, the lighting five lost a thriller to the league leaders. At this point the fellows, with their backs to the wall, put forth a drive which swept St. Joe ' s and Tech from their path, and thus cap¬ tured the fourth play-off spot. Against the strong Sandwich squad in the semi-final. Walkerville lost out in a hard fought game which really showed the fighting stulT in our fellows. All the players on this year ' s squad worked hard, showing team play rather than individual¬ ism. Points scored were usually well distributed. Andy Inchowich a hard fighting forward up from the Juniors did very well this year, and is a promising star for next year. Mike Kozma another forward from the Jim iors, where he started with his sharp eye and one hand shot, came through to add a big lift to the squad. Unfortunately he will not be with us next year. Bill Meeke a forward and hold-over from last year ' s W .S.S.A. championship squad, played as usual, capturing rebounds for a number of points. Alex Bondar was an outstanding, tricky guard, helping the team along with bis steady play. He will be back next year. Leo Postovit back from last year ' s squad, di¬ rected the team on the Hour as Captain, lie also will be back next year. Buck Tustanosky our tallest player, was in there fighting and using his height to advantage. He will be back. Tony Techco up from last year ' s junior ' s, sprained his ankle in a pre-season practice, but returned later to add a helping hand and gain experience for next year. Mike Kozma, Leo Postovit and Alex Bondar were given all-city mention. With nearly all these seasoned players coming back, next year’s team promises to make a bright showing. □ JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM With only two players left from last year ' s squad. Mr. Young found it necessary to rebuild his team and concentrate on giving the green placer .the experience that will make a winning team next year. This dearth of exper ienced players and the concentration on players who will be eligible for the ' 47 season accounted for the team ' s finishing the season in fifth place with two wins and five losses. High point-get¬ ters for the Juniors were Chuck Yernes with 43 points. Ed. Schepannwsky with 30 points and Gil Robinson with 24 points. In line with this policy of giving players more experience, a Junior “B team was formed, com¬ posed of boys not quite good enough to make the Junior team but who will be Juniors again next year. In games against other collegiates and senior public school teams, the Bees won six games and lost two. It I. 1‘ K A X I) U HI T E 194 7 fo HOUSE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS. HOCKEY HOUSE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS. JR. BASKETBALL, 10F HOCKEY I ' or the first time in six years, a W.C.I. hockey team did not win either a W ' .S.S.A. or W.O.S.S.A. cliampionshi|i. Although the team was composed mainly of those players who were on last year ' s W.O.S.S.A. team, they had a hard time getting started this year and the loss of two such high- scoring players as Earl Keyes and Harry Mar- chand to the Spitfires left a big hole in the team. During the first half of their S-game schedule, the team won one game and tied one. In the second half they played a much better brand of hockey. Although they lost the opener 5-4 to Vocational, the team rallied in the last period to score 4 goals and come within an ace of up¬ setting the league leaders. The next game against Kennedy saw the most exciting finish of a school game that we have seen in a long time. With 5 minutes of play left in the last period and the score tied 2-2. Kennedy scored a goal that gave them a 5-2 lead and. so it seemed, the game. However. Mr. Klinck. in a do-or-die attempt at victory, replaced the goalie with another for¬ ward. This strategy paid off as Macl’hee tied the score and then, with 50 seconds of play left. -MeI!ride got the counter that gave Walkervillc the game. It was truly a remarkable finish and the fellows played inspired hockey for. with no goalie and with one man in the penalty box. they still managed to score two goals. In the next game against Assumption. Clarke and Cipparoni counted two quick goals in the first five minutes and Walkervillc was never headed. A third period goal by McBride gave the Tartans a 5-1 win. In the last game of the regular schedule, Pat¬ terson held Walkervillc to a 2-2 tie with Cip¬ paroni getting both of Walkcrville ' s goals. This ended the season for Walkerville because a win was required in order to gain the last play-off position. With nearly all the players of this year ' s squad returning next year. Walkerville should have a winning team. Members of this year’s team were, Sale in goal. Bob Allison. Lynn. Arbucklc, and Cipparoni on defence: Livingston. Switzer. Clarke. Macl’hee. Don Allison. McBride. Fred Cooper. Musgrave. Gilmore. Matecuik. Spakowsky. Ken Cooper and II. Farrow. Our Boys ' Athletic representative in charge of hockey. George Chin, assisted with c team and acted as a linesman at all the W.S.S.A. games.
