As several members of the teams were absent with influenza the results were highl y satisfactory and we dare to hope that next year we may have even greater success and win all three Cups . There were two alterations in the programme at this year 's Sports as the 220 yards Champion- ship was reintroduced and the Tunnelling events were omitted. Our ball game teams showed a marked improvement this year as the teams were steady and gained places in every event Both Junior and Senior File Gap events were won by our teams, the Senior team breaking the record . Our Captain Ball teams were weakest and more concentration and practice must be given to these if we hope to be successfu I. A Blue for Inter-School Athletics was awarded to Lynette Lewis for her splendid performance in winning the Junior Championship and the 75 yards ( 14 years) race . A great deal of our success was due to the untiring help and encouragement given to us by Miss Rooney and Miss Hutchinson , and we also thank Miss Elliott for her assistance during Miss Rooney's absence. -M.A. H. V I A BASKETBALL NOTES A very enjoyable match against St . Aidan 's opened this year's basketball season . This friendly match and the one we played against the University gave us excellent practice for which the teams were very grateful. In spite of our hard practice , the "A" team was narrowly defeated by one goal , by the Commercial High School in the final match However, our congratulations go to the " B" team, on their premiership win which they thoroughly deserved. The Interform Basketball Matches were keenly contest- ed , and our congratulatiOns go to VA who defeated VIA in the final. We wish to thank the scorers and the girls who pre- pared afternoon tea, and we sincerely thank Miss Rooney for her patient help and guidance t hroughout the season.
