Girls’ Junior Basketball A LTHOUGH the Westmount Junior Girls’ Basketball team was only suc- eessful in winning one game out of the seven played this year, the effort put into the sport by the girls was really worthwhile. They played a good brand of basketball this year and their record for fairness and fair play is one of which to be proud. After all, the important thing is not whether one wins or loses, but how one plays the game, and our girls showed they had the fight¬ ing spirit—the will to give their best, even when it was impossible for them to win. Their record shows that besides learning the rules of the game and hav¬ ing a lot of fun, they learned the meaning of good sportsmanship, and showed they were good losers, which is about as fine a tribute as can be paid to any sportsman—or sportswoman, in this case. The winning game was against Scona, and the score board read 25-22. High scorers for our girls were Marguerite Riley and Muriel Duke, both of whom played exceptional games. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Hegler for all her work. She put up with all our wise cracks and, we all agree, “You’re swell.’’ Page forty-three
