26 General Wolfe Junior High School BASEBALL A league is being organized for inter-room games among boys and girls. Games will be played with other schools when the season opens. PHYSICAL DRILL DISPLAY OF JUNE 2-4 Movie stars in a Hollywood revue could not have acted up better than did 3,200 lads and lasses of 60 Winnipeg schools in the spectacular physical drill display staged on June 2-4 in the Amphitheatre Rink in this city under the directorship of Mr. Robert Jarman. Of the General Wolfe pupils 112 participated in the exercises, a!! doing their bit in response to the energy and efficiency of the director, Mr. Jarman, and to the training, assiduously given by the two teacher s of the staff, Miss Palmer and Mr. Macdonell, who put the young folks through their paces. “Here we are! Watch us go!” seemed to be the spirit—and they did go far beyond the expectations of the crowds which filled the rink for each performance.

25 Year Book — 1929-1930 HOCKEY Flashing a clever brand of hockey and showing a bulldog determina¬ tion to win, the General Wolfe hockey team came through with flying colors to annex the Junior High School Championship. Only one reverse was met with,at the hands of the Gordon Bell team, which defeated us 1-0. We defeated the Lord Roberts team 3-0; the Isaac Brock team we tied with; the Hugh John Macdonald fell before our onslaught 4-0; the semi-final game resulted in a win for us 2-0 against Cecil Rhodes team; in the finals we got back at the Gordon Bell team, handing them a 4-1 trouncing. Great credit is due Mr. Macdonald for his splendid management of the hockey team throughout the season. The boys’ hockey team was manned by: Bill Le Blanc (captain) goal; Gerald Miller, left defence; Mack Aikenhead, right defence; Herbert Howe, centre; Marshall Phimister, left wing; Jim Reid, right wing; Stan¬ ley Reid, Hurdur Einarson, Douglas Fernie, Tom Nash, alternates. VOLLEY BALL Among the girls, volley ball is fast becoming a popular game and in the gym. after 4 o’clock many heartily pursued this sport. FOOTBALL The football team had an active season and played some thrilling games, though none were won. It may have gone down to defeat but never to dis¬ grace, thanks to the able management of Mr. Harper, its manager, and Oswald Ness, its captain. All the boys did their bit and what more could one wish for? SKIING AND SNOWSHOEING The General Wolfe representatives may not have gained a place in these sports, but we do know they gained high respect from other schools by their dogged determination to keep trying when defeat was staring them in the face, and we believe there is no word more inspiring to all General Wolfe pupils than the great name of “General Wolfe.” The pupils of the school wish to thank Miss B. Smith for her splendid management of these teams,
