lighting spirit shown by the players augurs well for the game in the coining
year. The players in “B” grade were John Thallon, Robin Christophers. Jim
Thallon and Rodney Hazell.
The Inter-House Competition failed to reach finality due chiefly to
adversities of Wednesday weather. It is hoped that this competition will
BE possible in the coming year.
School Champion was Malcolm Bunney with Ray Hallman a close
second. The boys and girls playing tennis wish to thank the Wynnum Tennis
Association and owners of private tennis courts who placed their courts at
our disposal. With more than eighty boys participating, the necessity for
courts can be understood. All the more reason therefore, that the use of
these courts is appreciated by the boys and girls for their benefit and for that
of the future of the game in the Wynnum District.
Thanks to Mr. Cox for his supervision of the boys tennis.
GIRLS - -
The Wynnum High School girls “A” tennis team did not live up to the
reputation of that of two years ago. We did manage to draw in two matches
with Balmoral and Cavendish Road.
The Premiers in our zone were Commercial High, who were fortunate
enough to have Robyn Elurn, State Junior Champion. We do not make
excuses. We will just have to make sure that we gather the laurels next
year.
We have lost one of our team mates, Lyn Tovey, to Commercial and we
will miss her from the team. Diane Hargreaves (Captain). Aileen Barr.
Marlene Hargreaves and Lyn Tovey formed our team.
The girls “B” team had some successes with four wins, as against five
losses and one draw. The team consisted of Glenda Bunney, Phyllis Har
greaves, Loretta Blaney and Judith Pleace.
This team also represented Wynnum in the G.P.S. fixtures. Although
we were unable to win any matches we feed we have gained much benefit
from them and hope our tennis will improve as a result of the competition.
The spirit of fellowship in these matches made our Saturday mornings
most enjoyable and gave us a chance to widen our circle of friendship.
Our thanks go to Mrs. Innocend and to all who helped to make our
tennis season such an enjoyable one.

HOCKEY --
THIS year, being the first in which hockey has been played at the school.
was by no means a year of poor hockey. As soon as the players became
accustomed to wielding the sticks, they began playing matches, and with the
help of Mr. Baker-Finch, they gradually learnt the rules and regulations,
