You have a If I said this to you perhaps you’d reply, “I want to help the school but I’m not good at sports.” I’d reply, “Sports isn’t the only way to support your school. Not everyone can or wants to compete in athletics. So why don't you join a club! Say the physics club or the electronics club. Maybe you could be on the dance committee or the prom committee.” Then maybe you'd say “I have to work after school” Of that I‘d ask “Everyday? If not then you could at least help in some small organiza- tion.” Now with all of your excuses gone what else could you say? Perhaps you could say “But why should I do anything for the school ?” When I see you I wonder what you’ve ever done for your school. I say to myself, “I wonder if he’s ever tried anything to support his school.” When you read the Hat title in the celumn (track and field is here) you probably Said “Big Thrill!” When you read Ken Cooper is president of the BAA or Mac Smith can high jump 6’6” you probably thought, “Isn’t that nice!” And when you read the results of the bad- minton tournament or the girls’ gymnastic meet you probably said “So what?” In the hurdles they have young Ron Nordin who last year finished fourth in the intermediate hurdles at the Ontario Championships and will again compete in the intermediate section. The chances are very good for Nordin winning at the Ontario this year adding another great to T’hornhill’s list of hurdlers. The girls’ team appears as strong as ever. During the past year they were the reafion for Thornhill winning Georgian Bay and could pos- sibly repeat this again this year. Richmond Hill’s team is shaping up much the same as last year with perhaps a féw new faces in the junior events. Triple jump will be covéred by Doug Acomb and Mac Smith whc’ll also take the high jump. Acomb and Ray Pratt will run the 100 yds. and 220 yds. senior. _ Mike Hiscott and Bob COwan will run the 880 yds. while Cowan will pro‘b’ably run the. mile. Dwain Reid will run the intermediate mile and throw the javelin. Charlie Clayton will run the open two mile. Paul Sabitini will run the inter- mediate mile and two mile. It should be inter- esting to See how Richmond Hill’é hundred mile club has helped the distance runners. Last year’s Georgian Bay champions, Thorn- hill, again seem to have a strong team although possibly this year’s battle could prove to be very close. Thornhill has Peter Aimone. Bob Dickin- son, Clem Ketchum and Ken Penfol'd in the 100 yds. and 220 yds. events while Brian Loughran will represent them in the distance events. High School Sports Present at the meet was the “elite” group of competitors. This term is given to girls who have competed in gymnastic meets outside those run by the schools. Presumably this group would be better than most of the girls at the meet but not all of them. Barb Thompson of Victoria Park SS proved this by showing exactly why she was going to compete for Canada in the Olympics. Cathy Bowman of Richmond Hill proved to be our most successful rep as she took second in the senior bars event. Lesley Nicholls of Bay- view took seventh in the senior free (:31 while Richmond Hill’s Janet Wright won fourth in the same event in the junior division. Kathy Willock of RH grabbed fifth position in the junior vaulting. Other Georgian Bay com- petitors present were Virginia Zink of Alliston, Pauline Batten from Camp Borden and Janet Grant of Eastview Secondary. The stage had been set on April 6 when the GBSSA girls’ gymnastics meet was run off. Similarly all over Ontario, school districts were finding their best representatives to send to the Ontario meet competing for their school and district. On April 27 the athletes made eligible by their series of district meets travelled to Lorne Park Collegiate in Port Credit to compete in the Ontario Invitational Gymnastics meet. The meet proved to be a success for area athletes in final standings. The competition lasted from 10 am to 4 pm with the action con- tinual and the judging first class as the best officials in Ontario had been selected for the meet.
