Athletic Association, IAs,

C5 HE year’s achievements in athletics have been very creditable. Under the able

management of Mr. E. E. Mower both the Junior and the Senior Football Teams
have won distinction, the Seniors carrying off the Timberland Cup, emblematic of
the championship of the Chilliwack Valley League, and the Juniors bringing home the
Menzies Hardware Cup, having scored a total of twenty-seven points throughout
the year, with only one point against them. More gratifying almost than these tangible
trophies was the tribute paid our boys by Rev. Cannon Holdom, who, in his speech
at the Football Banquet in Chillwack, stated that he had never in all his experience
refereed a more sportsmanlike game than the final between Coqualeetza and the High
School.

Both the Boys’ and the Girls’ Basketball Teams have been fairly active, though,
due to the fact that they were rather late in getting started they have played more
practice than match games. Ms. George Martin was a capable coach.

An interesting innovation this year is the Archery Club, formed at a meeting
held for that purpose on the 12th of April, 1929. The Club has a membership
of 37, 23 girls, with Betty Barton for their Captain, and 10 boys, with Captain, Cyril
Mahone, and 4 staff members. At the first meet the target was rarely hit, but great
improvement followed upon practice. The champion of the girl’s team was Emily

Leo, while George Auckland headed the boys, closely followed by Allan Hall.

REVIOUS achievement has given the Coqualeetza Music Department a very high standard to main-

tain, but we feel we can conscientiously report that this has been done, and creditably done, during
the 1928-1929 session. In the first place, of the nine candidates who tried the Royal Academy of
Music Examinations last spring, nine were successful, Rosalind Watson signally so, attaining honour
ranking. The following are preparing for the 1929 Royal Academy Exams.:

Prano— Lower Division Ruth Castle

Edna Tait
Elementary Division Rosalind Watson
Luke Nelson
Primary Division Mercy Wesley
Mildred Russ
Viotin—Higher Division Clarence Wesley
Dorothy Matheson

The music class is of average dimensions this year—twenty-two pupils studying piano under the
tuition of Miss Milsom, Mrs. Edstrom, Mrs. Orr and Miss M. K. Clarke; three taking violin from Mrs.
Edstrom; and two learning to play the saxophone, under the instruction of Mr. Ridley of Chilliwack.

The Choir continues to make good progress under the splendid training of Mr. Bartindale. In
addition to the regular weekly anthem they have contributed special music on occasions such as Christmas
and Easter, with great success.

Under the able leadership of Mr. Shergold the Boys’ Bugle Band has been revived this year, and they
have got on so well that we felt them a distinct credit to the institution when they performed officially
in connection with the forming an escort for the Australian Boys on their recent visit. We are most
grateful to Mr. Shergold for his generous contributions of time, interest and energy in connection with
this Band, and also for his gift to the School of a melophone and a Bass Drumhead for our Orchestra.

The Orchestra continues to flourish, and does much good work, adding greatly to the various school
affairs with its contributions, as well as accepting occasional invitations to play for outside organizations.
