It is a little two-by-four, so email that everyone was falling over ev- eryone else. Nevertheless, it did not hinder us from winning all three games. No, you aren't see- ing things. I said we won the whole three games; it was as much of a. shock to us at} it is to you. The junior boys played first and after many tumbles they won with a score of 20-15. Sandy was un- usually wide awake, making 12 of the 20 points himself. Doug. Stew- art got 5, and Doug; Keyes the re- maining 3. Mary Lou certainly picked up and played a wonderful game; both she and Ruth Keyes made 9 points each. No matter how hard Wing - ham played, they still lost with a, score of 14-25. Jeanne •Caldwell al- so played a great game, getting 4 points. Although Pat only made one free Shot, she had several per- fect screens for the forwards. It looked bad' for our senior boys when Wingham had a lead of five points at the end of the third 'quar- ter. They were bragging how they would like to win by a bigger score when the tables were turn- ed and our boys really went to town and won with three points to spare, 17-14.

Every-, where you looked there was a splash of color, gownsof every shade in the rainbow flitted here and there in time to the music. Many of the students were present, their appearance quite altered from that of the afternoon. The square dances were different and enjoyed immensely. Isn't it too bad we haven't more than one formal a year? Several of the students worked very hard and devoted much of their time and evenings to decorations, •but it was worth it and the praise received was reward enough. To some, cleaning up the newt day proved almost more en- joyable njoyable than the dance, at least they had lots to eat and made the most of the situation.

Monday morning we were amaz- ed to see a sign, saying that Dash- wood and Zurich were meeting in a scheduled W.O.A.A. playoff tilt at the local ice surface that night at 8:34. Who WAS playing that night? We began inquiries and found' that the Industrial League would. not be allowed to play that night, even though they have had Monday nights for several weeks to play their series. Was the rink being taken from local enthusiasts and being given to out-of-town teams? We went to the rink that night and were greeted by a large group of Industrial players standing "out- side the gate." The local provin- cial police were on hand keeping the local boys from entering the rink. Soon players from Dashwood and Zurich began to.arrive and were immediately allowed in. The spec- tators gathered, and they, too, went in, -but the Industrial League play- ers stood outside. Why was the rink taken away from this group? Have they not been 'putting more money into this arena than' these "out-of-towners?" We'll have to agree that the arena made more money out of the deal by allowing the W.O.A.A. to take over. but what about our local squads? The Pee -Wee team have been in- formed that it will be about two weeks before they can get another garne in the arena. The surface has been allotted to teams from other places, thus shooting our teams back out of the limelight. We think a few words of thanks should go to the local curlers who relinquished their evening events, Wednesday, so that the Industrial League could play their suddenly postponed series. • Looping into this matter of book - We bad a special privilege in Tuesday's assembly; we were hon- ored on ored with two very talented art- ists, Doug Stewart and Don Dale. Don Dale sang, "If," that little word with the big meaning, accompanied by Doug. (I must say it sounded a little better than when he prac- tised it over the loudspeaker Thurs- day night). Doug then played what sounded like "Stardust"; correct me if I'm wrong, but it seemed like his own version. Now comes the sad part! As you all know through previous ex- periences, Goderich is a bard team to beat at any sport, so it was not surprising that the outcome of the junior boys' and the girls' game was not in our favor on Tuesday. To start with, the junior boys had a wonderfhl lead of eight points, but it didn't take the oth- ers long to catch up. It is com- monly known that Sandy has big feet (no offense, Sandy), but it certainly was proven Tuesday. He had two foul shots and perfect shot he made, but did they count? Oh, no—his feet were over the line. Doug Stewart got the most points, 11 in all; Sandy 6, Dug Keyes 3, Wheatley and Sills 2, and Rowland 1, the score being 38-25 for Gode- rich. The less said about the girls' game the better! Once again the Goderich girls used their six -man defence and in their gym it work- ed like a charm. For a long time we thought they wouldn't even per- mit us a measley point, but we ended up with five, while they had 44. Jeanne and Ruth each made two and Mary Lou a foul shot. Our senior boys' game was by far the most exciting and the most profitable. I'm told that it has been one of the first Seaforth victories over Goderich in many years. It has been the finest example of team play that I've seen yet. • (Why couldn't you play like that in some other games?) „Eric's foul shots were more lucky than perfect tar- gets; he made 15 points. On the bus before the game, Con and Jim made a 'bargain which was to get as many points as their numbers. As you see they did much better than they hoped for; Jim's number is 11 and he made 14 points; Con's is 7 and he made 11. Con got a beautiful long shot, and I don't think anyone was more surprised than Jim when his also scored in the next quarter. Tom used to have number 13, but Tuesday he changed his for a 12 and made himself five points (too bad the idea didn't occur to you sooner, Tom!) Ron Rennie got 4 and the game ended with a score of 49-43. Everyone was too exhausted and weary to do any singing on the way home from our last game of the season (which the teachers will greatly appreciate, I'm sure).

That point of view has of- ten been expressed before, but rarely more eloquently than by Canadian Commentator John Fish- er, in a recent broadcast on his "Passing Parade" radio show. "For," as Fisher put it, "hockey is really Canada, and Canada is hockey—the two are synonymous." ' As soon as the weather is cold en-, ough, you'll find the kids out on the ponds and the community rinks in every city, town and hamlet i across the country. All are deadly intent on learning this game of speed and thrills and action, their ambitions set on reaching the top and. performing before the cheering thousands in glittering N.H.L. ice palaces.
