BASKETBALL - -
THE year 1959 was a memorable one in the history of our High School
Basketball for we are now the proud possessors of a shield for Inter-house
Competition. It was kindly donated by Robinson’s Sports Store.
For the first time, three teams took part in the Q.S.S.S.S.A. Competi-
tions, whilst a fourth team played friendly matches.
There was also a marked improvement in the standard of our play.
In the State Secondary Competition, the “C” team lost only to Cavendish
Road, and then only by a very small margin. The “B” team did particularly
well in the G.P.S. fixtures.
In the mid-week fixtures matches were played against Commercial,
Cavendish Road, Camp Hill, and Balmoral. Saturday matches were played
at. St. Aidans, and Moreton Bay, whilst we had the pleasure of being hostess
to Clayfleld College and St. Peters.

Inter-House —
Later matches will decide which House will have the honour of having
its name first on the shield.
The Basketball players say a thank you to their teachers, to the donors
of the shield, to the young man in Robinson’s store who so often and so
graciously inflated the balls, and to Walter Morgan who marked and cared
for the courts.
