Senior Hockey E ARLY in the season Harvey Crawford was elected captain of Westmount’s 38-39 hockey club. After considerable spade-work Harvey and Mr. Mc- Naught selected a hockey team to represent W.H.S. The first game saw Westmount defeated on home ice by Tech, three to one. Ross McKinnon scored Westmount’s one and only goal. For the second game, the Westmount squad journeyed to Vic’s rink for one of the fastest games Westmount ever played. Vic scored in the first period, and Crawford returned the compliment from the blue-line. Harvey scored again in the second period. Vic again evened things up towards the end of the same period, with two more in the third which gave Connel, in goal, no chance to save. Westmount next played Commercial in a rather slow game with few dan¬ gerous rushes. Hence the goal keepers had little to do. Scona was the fourth opponent. Ross McKinnon opened the scoring in the first period, by a cheer-raising goal that had the Scona keeper guessing all the way. In the second period one of the opposition developed a habit of working his way right into the goal and loosening lightning shots that had Connel “hop¬ ping” to clear. Final score: 4-1, Scona. On Westmount ice the home club was defeated in the fifth game by the powerful Eastwood squad, while in the last game our boys squeezed out a nar- Standing, left to right: Ken Bradshaw, Bob Weeks, Willard Hall, Mr. McNaught (manager), Bill Duff, Tommy Pinkston, Jim Clarke.

Bantam Rugby U NDER the very able coaching of one Mr. George Mackintosh, the West- mount Bantams made a determined bid for victory. Due to no fault of their own, there was the odd slip-up on the way, but nevertheless they did put up a very good showing. In the first game of the season the boys tangled with last year’s champions, Scona. Scona, aided and abetted by experience and expert coaching, were odds-on favorites, but the spirit of our boys rose to the occasion and we white¬ washed said favorite to the tune of 27-0. They won their second and third vic¬ tories over Tech and Eastwood respectively with fair margins. Probably the best performers were Harry Allan, Charlie Hall, Stuart Priest and especially Bob Livingstone, who turned out a magnificent perfor¬ mance in every game he played. The Bantams also played an exhibition game against Sep, but although they fought every inch of the way, they were unable to turn the tide of battle faVorably. The Sep lads proved too much for our boys, and we were defeated to the tune of twenty to six. All the lads this year owe a vote of thanks to Mi-. Conquest, who so kindly provided them with transportation to the games. He was also responsible for securing crests for the squads, and so to you, Mr. Conquest, we say: Thanks

Girls’ Senior Basketball N OTHING ventured, nothing gained. That, in a nutshell, was the motto of the Westmount Senior Girls’ Basketball team this year. The girls worked hard under Miss Hegler’s guidance and Tommy McLaughlan’s coaching. Al¬ though there was no regular schedule this term they had lots of keen athletic enjoyment and Exhilarating fun. Thanks to their efforts they were able to win a good percentage of the games they entered. Among the scalps they gained were two from Sep High and Scona, scores 26-14 and 15-13. The first game of the season was played against the Y.W.C.A. girls. The date was January 10, a black date, for our lassies were defeated to the rather dismal tune of 56-29. Several recruits, though new to the team and rather ner¬ vous, played exceedingly well. On February 1st the seniors were defeated by Vic at their school, 21-17. To Tommy McLaughlan, whose coaching was largely responsible for the varying successes attained, we want to express our appreciation. And perhaps a hearty “Thanks” will do it just as well as any other way. A vote of thanks also goes to Joan MacDonald, for her support. Joan ac¬ companied the teams to every game, keeping score for them. It was to her the girls looked for moral support. ; Phillips (captain), lughlan (coach), Norma Reyn
