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

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.

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.
