were taken out of the MacEwen residence and moved up to the Holy Name Hall.

Don Anderson recalled that in the 1960s, both Tug of War and Baseball became popular, and Father George MacDonald attended the games and matches of each team faithfully.* (42) Teams from Morell often provided stiff competition, in terms of territorial representation, for the Bay teams. For the St. Peters “Pioneers" tug of war team, however, it was the Red Point Farmers, which provided the stiffest competition. There were local competitions, the annual Plowing Match competitions in Dundas, and for five years, the St. Peters and Red Point teams went to

the Maritime tug of war finals at the Atlantic Winter Fair held at the Forum in Halifax.

This picture shows the St. Peters team pulling against the Gasperaux team in the semi-final pull that year. Stuart MacEwen, the coach of the St. Peters team called the Halifax Herald and ordered fifteen copies, one for each member of the team.
