SENIOR VOLLEYBALL Back: J. Oamashe, M. Master, Miss Saunders. J. Palmer, J. Macdonald. Front: B. Searle. E. Parker, V. Sedlar, W. Allen, S. Dayus. The senior team was less fortunate than the junior team but nevertheless managed to win the title of cham¬ pions of VV. S. S. A. also. They got off to a good start by defeating Kennedy in the first game of the season. The following week the W. D. Lowe Vocational team was their hostess. Apparently awkward in a strange gym for the first time, they were slow in getting started, and as a result lost the first half. As they were getting used to their surroundings, the second half was easily won. However, it was not enough to balance the final score. More determined than ever, the girls really went to work and. as a result, won all the rest of the games on their schedule. This made them eligible to play in the W. O. S. S. A. finals in the spring. The members of the senior team are Jackie Damashc— captain, Margo Master. Wilma Allen, Barbara Collins. Vera Sedlar, Ann Vermeer, Barbara Searle. Betty Marsh, Jean MacDonald, June Palmer, Sally Dayus and Evan- • gclinc Parker. t , ... , Miss Saunders deserves a great deal of credit toi site worked hard with the girls and encouraged them at all times.
