Another cheerific year has almost passed for us,but we have done our utmost to cheer our teams to victory. Aside from our ovsm games, we repre- sented Weston at the United Appeal Games, and also at the T.D.I.A.A. football finals at Varsity Stadium. Lorraine was chosen this year at the Varsity game to represent our school in the Miss Cheerleader Contest. It has been said that W.C.V.S. lacks what we call. School Spirit . We as cheerleaders do not agree, and would like to thank everyone for their loyal support at the various football, hockey and basket- ball games. We owe much thanks also to our Man- ager, Marjorie Knapp. Marj. spent much of her time and energy with us, in trying to perfect our cheers and when one of us was unable to cheer, she was only too happy to step in as a sub leader. Thanks again to all concernedg your help was greatly appreciated. -D. Dover, 13C. Archery Each Monday afternoon at 3:30, the members of the Archery Club meet on the third Door to improve their skills. We welcome new members every year from grades XI to XIII to join in and become competitors. The girls are under the guidance of Miss Leckie, who faithfully spends her time help- ing those who are willing to improve their skills and become female Robin Hoods' of Weston Col- legiate. The number of girls has decreased since our first practice but those who attend agree that it is a worthwhile activity to participate in. Each year we send members of our group to take part in the Archery Tournament. In the past few years, we are proud to be able to say that Weston has been praised for its achievements and I'm sure this year we will uphold our reputation. -Gloria Yurick, 12C Girls' Basketball The girls' basketball schedule of 1957 began after the Christmas season.

Girls' Field Day The 1957 Field Day was a time of active fum and intense competition which resulted in the recording of many different names on the winners' sheet. In the Junior events Felicity Yendell won the high jump and Mary-Lynne Swayze the broad jump. Gail Robinson was first in both the 50 and the 75 yard dashes. Judy Mercer won the baseball throw and Diane Ainslie the basketball thros. C9D was the winning form in the Junior Spiral Relay. 9G won the shuttle and 9A the 200 yd. relays. The many contestants and the excitement of all the entries made the Junior events very thrilling especially for Gail Robinson who became the Junior Champion. The Intermediate events were just as varied in results. Grace George was first in the High Jump, and Sylvia Papa in the broad jump. Valerie Findlay won the 75 yd. dash. Linda Jefferson won the 100 yd. dash. Leona Poirier was first in the baseball throw. Doreen Fleming won the basketball throw. CIOB was victorious in both the spiral and the softball relays. 10F defeated 1OG in the shuttle relay. but l0G defeated 10F in the 200 yd. relay. 10B and C1OA were close behind in all these events. Grace George was'the Intermediate Champion. In the Senior Division, Diane Parsons, the Champ- ion,won firsts in the high jump, the broad jump and the 75 yd. dash. Theresa Stanley was the winner of the baseball throw and Lorraine Sainsbury, of the basketball throw. All the relays were character- ized by almost fiery competition, most noticeably between 12A and 11A. 12A defeated her friendly rivals in the softball relay, the spiral relay and the 200 yd. relay. 11A won both the second spiral relay and the second shuttle relay against 11B,11D and 11E. C11A won the second softball relay. As was mentioned before, Diane Parsons was the Senior Champion. To sum up, the Annual Field Day was a delight, not only to the winners, but to the runners-up and to the watchful spectators. Senior Girls'Volleyball Our school ca.n do anything and winning fame for Weston in Volleyball at other schools is no except- 1011. This year, the Senior team entered the Round Robin Tournament an annual competition at Mimico. The team was made up of Weston's top volleyball players - Joan Hitchcock, Laura Lambie, Bev. Dixon, Orian Strachan, Connie Lyles, Elizabeth 58 Henderson, Carole Parsons, Sharon Dulgo, and Doreen Fleming. The girls returned to Weston without losing a game, defeating Etobicoke, Mimico, Royal York, York Memorial and Runnymede Schools and so won the Round Robin Tournament. Our con- gratulations to our victorious team. Junior Girls' Volleyball Weston's Juniors were determined to win the Round Robin Tournament at Etobicoke and they did. This team was made up of Linda Scott, Dianne Ainslie, Kathy Easton, Lynda McFarland, Vivien Warren, Molly Palmer, Carol Leitch, Cathy Jarvis, and Anita Richter. They defeated Etobicoke, Mimico, Royal York, York Memorial and Rtuiny- mede Schools. One thing our team was not able to do was to sing our school song at a dinner which was held after the games. We can forgive them can't we? They did complete a job well done. Badminton Wednesday afternoons are special to certain W.C. V.S. students who love to watch birds. Their oppor- tunity is provided to them by the Weston Recreation Commission and the activity takes place at the Illustrious. Strangely enough, these students are not satis- fied with watching the birds. They hit them back and forth over a net with rackets provided to them by the school. All this, of course, refers to the badminton group, capably coached by Miss Tinline who is to be congratulated for her badminton vic- tories throughout the province. The bird-watchers numbering about twenty, steadily improve with practice, each week. There is keen competition in the different sets and once one set is over another is ready to begin. The courts are never empty, and the spirit never lags. -Lois Godfrey, 13A. Mechanic: Lady, I've found the trouble with your car. You've got a short circuit in the wiring.

Girls' Interform Volleyball Interform Volleyball was a great success this year with each team fighting to the bitter end. And who were the victorious forms? C9B were the Juvenile Winnersg 10A the J uniorsg C 11B the inter- mediates, and C12 the Senior Champions. C11B team came out on top carrying off the Volleyball Shield. These games could not have been held had not the student referees been willing to give their spare time to this good cause. Referees This year like every other year girls volunteer their spare hours after school to referee the girls interform Sports. Their hours are filled with the refereeing of volleyball, basketball, baseball, etc. Before they can even attempt to do this they must know all the rules of each game in order that they may be carried out successfully. Quiclcness of the eye is an essential characteristic of each girl to see the faults of the players. For each game that is played,there are four officials. They are the referee, linesman, scorer and timekeeper. Each official gets two points per game and a limit of twenty points is given. Many thanks go to these girls who have given their spare hours after school to supervise the girls interform sports. -Lorraine Cgok, 12E. 60 Girls' Softball Our interform softball last year was exceptionally successful and a feeling of good sportsmanship was shown by all players. The schedule is drawn up so that a champion is decided in four divisionsg the grade nines play the other grade nines for the midget,and so on all the way up to the grade thirteens. Following this,the midget champions play the junior championsg and the intermediates play the seniors. The school championship is then decided between the two winners of these games. This year the winners are as follows: MIDGET - C9A JUNIOR - CIOB INTERMEDIATE- 11AB SENIOR - 13 The inter-school champions were the grade 137s. We would like to extend our congratulations at this time to the various winners and also to every- one who made our 1957 softball season such a wonderful success. I -Anita Ramage, 12B.
