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.

.0 !S L V K A X I. ' 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.
