GIRLS' HOCKEY
Hopes for 1963
The war is over, the battle is won, but ah-alas, Wynnum was "not in the
race", so to speak, but you don't need to "forty years on" to be "short winded",
join the hockey team.
"When you look back and forgetfully wonder". We tried so hard to repeat
last year's undefeated premiership performance, but all efforts failed.
"Tramp of Twenty-two Women".
A grade was captained by Pat. Morrison, and their results were three wins,
two draws and three defeats. B grade had one win, one draw and six defeats,
and their captain was Helen Rothwell. Julie Lamond captained the C team, who
had more wins and draws than defeats.
"Fights for the Fearless".
Next year we may need an injured players' fund, if one of our A games is
repeated. On this occasion three players were slightly injured, but a third form
representative lost count of her "knock-em-downs" during the season.
"Goals for the Eager".
Our forwards, though very eager, more often than not missed their shot at
goals. This may now be remedied as two collapsible goals and a complete set of
hockey equipment was purchased for practices and for next year.
"Goals Attempted, Rescued and ... er Won?"
Players who are worthy of note for scoring goals are : Pat. Morrison, Rosalyn
Smith, Annette Horton, Helen Rothwell and Julie Lamond. Other players who
showed ability are : Sandra Batchelor and Annette Marshall.
"Strained Weak Hearts and Wavering Knees".
This is how we return from the field at half and full time to report cur
scores to Miss Reid.
"Hated the Foe with a Playing at Hate".
Well, we never hated any of the teams, but we made sure they never had
possession of the ball more than could ba helped.
"Neither the Last nor the Faintest were We".
In the three grades, not one of our teams had the dishonour of the last
position.
Thanks to Miss Reid for her patience with us during practices and fixture
matches and all she has done for this successful hockey year.

BREMER VISIT — GIRLS
Towards the end of second term, Wynnum High School played host to
Bremer High School.
The visitors were welcomed to the school and then the teams proceeded to
their respective sports fields, the golf teams leaving for the local course.
Teams were fielded to play basketball, tennis, softball, vigoro and golf. The
games in most cases provided keen competition between the two schools. The
Over 15 basketball team was victorious, scoring 28 goals to 12, while the Under 15
team was defeated 28 goals to 15. Our tennis team won 24 games to 10.
Bremer was decisively beaten in the softball match, the score being 82-6. In a
very close game, our hockey team was defeated 1 -0. Bremer won the vigoro
75 runs to 68 and our four girl golf team won their match by 4 games to 0.
With the co-operation of a number of Senior girls in the school, afternoon
tea was prepared. Both school captains expressed their hope that Bremer had
enjoyed themselves, and thanked them for their keen participation in the after
noon s activities.
