GIRLS’ SWIMMING Leslie I’ond. 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.

Miss Martin. □ GIRL’S ATHLETIC SOCIETY President Anne Sauchuk Vice-President ■ Donna Haley Secretary.Pat Barnby This executive, as well as the convenors for each sport, was elected by the girls. by ballot in September. 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.
