After a number of tryout sessions, the boys ' curling team was assembled. Skipping this year ' s rink was Willie Kradovill, third; Martin Christenson, second; Doug McRae, third; and Barry Falconer, lead. This year ' s Southeast District Playdowns were held in Weyburn and in Estevan. The W. C. I. boys played two games in Weyburn, first losing to Talmage, represent¬ ing the Weyburn Unit, and then defeating Ceylon, representing the Radville Unit. Next the boys journeyed to Estevan for the completion of the playdowns. In their first game they defeated the Oxbow Unit, and then, in an extra-end thriller, they edged the Estevan Collegiate contingent to win the Southeast District Championship and the right to go to Regina for the Southern Playdowns. After capturing the Southeast District championship, the boys went to Regina on February 16 for the South Saskatchewan High School Playdowns - the winner to rep¬ resent the south against the north in the provincial championship. The competition proved to be extremely tough as the boys bowed to Luther College, Yorkton Collegiate, and Moose Jaw Riverview. They did, however, come through with vic¬ tories over Craven and Abernathy. Although they did not bring home the champion¬ ship the boys did make a very respectable showing. Thus, the W. C, I. four managed to compile a respectable record of five wins and four losses in this year ' s competition.

Judy Wordon, Kathy Ferguson, Faye Hanna, Jill Renas 1 the whole, a very good seasi and we enjoyed ourselves very much. - Faye Hanna Although our trip and stay at Indian Head were heartly enjoyed, we didn ' t come out the Southern champions as we had hoped. We lost our first two games against Yorkton and Moose Jaw. We then settled down and won our next three games. We ended up with a 3-2 win which left us tied for second place. The teams we defeated were Wolseley, Regina Central, and Swift Current. Moose Jaw Central won the southern and went on to win the provincial cup at Melfort. The hospitality, which included a banquet, was wonderful, and made our stay even more enjoyable. A£)ur thanks go out to our coach, Mr. Harcourt, for all the help rendered us during the purling season, and also to the school for supplying us with new sweaters for the trip to Bndian Head. We would also like to thank anyone who came out to watch us and cheer us on. The school team also played in the city championships and came out the winners. We had to play against St. Michaels and Western Christian College. We received individual Hrophies as a prize and also had our names put on a big trophy which is kept in the school. ■The girls ' curling team, consisting of Jill Renas, skip; Faye Hanna, third; Kathy Ferguson, pjsecond; and Judy Worden, lead; started i n the provincial playdowns against Creelman. We were victorious in winning the first two games out of a possible three. This gave us the jforivilege of representing our district in the South-East playdowns at Estevan. ■There were four teams counting ours down at Estevan. In the first games Gainsborough played Lampman and we came up against Oungre. We then played the Lampman rink and after a close game once again came out the winners. This made us the South-East Dis¬ trict champions with the privilege of representing the S. E. in the Southern Saskatchewan playdowns at Indian Head.
