Spring is in the air, at least the vveather has become mild and. the students are going without their rubbem. Isn't that a sign of Although the curling took place some time ago, I am sure you won't mind reading the following ac- count. We take great pleasure in presenting it to you through the courtesy of Mr. Donald Dale. "For the past few years the curling clubs of Galt and Guelph, togetaer with the help of many sponsors', have held an annual bonspiel for high school toga. Many boys from this school have been curling since January and the men curlers en- couraged them to send a rink to this bonspiel. The rink was as fol- lows: Skip, Don Dale; vice -skip, Gar Baker; second, Mike Beehely; lead, Bill Stephenson. The bon - spiel began on the fifteenth of Feb - imam The* boys /Lost their first game to Seitton, six to ilse, in an extra end. The second game they were defeated eight to five by Walkerton. On the night of the fifteenth, the Galt Club held a ban- quet and dance for the boys. The curlers were billeted in private homes for the night. The next day Seaforth won their first game sev- en to four from Toronto Western Tech. This enabled them to enter into the second round of the pre- liminaries. However, they were eliminated eight to three by a Grand Valley rink. The Seaforth boys admitted that they had a won- derful time at this bonapiel and that they were treated like kings by the citizens of Galt. They hope that our school will he represented in this bon,spiel next year, and for many years to come.

Due to weather conditions and the like, the rest of Barry James' orchestra were unable to be present, but the "little crooner" and Hoegy Car- michael did a great job on their own. But then they would have gotten exactly nowhere without the grand introduction of their an- nouncer, a certain Mr. Baker. Harry James (a distant relative of Jessie James) played "I Surren- der Dear," on the trumpet, accom- panied by Carmichael Rennie on the piano. For an encore, "Bing" Willis sang "Sometime" (in his own voice I do believe). This was followed by impersonations of the theme songs of Frankie Laine, Bing Crosby, Wayne Monroe, Mills Brothers, Jimmie Durante and, Bil- lie Eckstein.

(By WALLY) Seaforth Pee -Wee Beavers trav- elled to Ingersoll Wednesday night where they trounced the Ingersoll team of twenty-four players by a 17-5 count. _The game started out as. a mild affair, but by the final whistle it had grown into a wild affair, as it got out of the referee's hands. * Bob McGonigle played. another excellent game in the Beavers' net as he slashed.back the puck from all angles, clearing all but five. Jimmy Vyse, of the Y.'s Men's team. also showed up excellently. His team is one of the six teams sponsored by the Y's Men's Club of Ingersoll. Following the game the locals were treated to a lunch at the Y.M.C.A. by the mothers of the Ingersoll players. Ingersoll commenced the scoring at 0:33 as their star player, Hen- hawke, flew through the Seaforth defence and fooled McGonigle. Thompson came up from defence and took the puck from the cen- tre, Skating rapidly down the ice be went right in on Vyse and tal- lied. frenhawke made continual attempts, to count, but McGonigle 'outsmarted him *until 6:13, when he made a lone tally.

Mason toiled Staples as 'he carried the puck almost the full length of the ice. Roberton made a lone count be- fore AlanrHinge counted Ingersoll's third. Pete Dale and Scoins scor- ed for the locals. No penalties were handed mit during this stanza. Dale opened the second stanza for the Beavers after 15 seconds of play. Mason got to the In- gersoll mouth, but as he went to shoot Pellow checked him and knocked the puck into the corner. The next six minutes went score- less, then Roberton passed the puck over to Dale, and in turn it went to Bruce McFadden, who slapped it into the net. Mason was sent to the cooler for two minutes after lie tripped Stan Hanalta. During the four -man Sea - forth struggle the home team, In- gersoll, was unable to 'find the net As he left the box, Mason picked up a pass from Roberton and these two headed for the Ingersoll cage. Mason shot the puck, but Vyse neatly cleared it away from tbe mouth. ROberton performed the hat trick at 15:43, to put the locals out in front 10-3 and to complete this period, Pete Dale repeated his perform- anee Its he drove in the first mark- er of the filial frame.
