Four images of women's intramural diving; two images of intramural swimming races; in the Qu'Appelle Hall pool.

Bio/Historical Note: The University of Saskatchewan’s first pool opened in 1916. Located in the basement of Qu'Appelle Hall, it was 18 feet wide, 45 feet long and around 8 feet deep with a spring board and changing rooms. Speed swimming, diving, water polo and recreational swimming soon became popular activities in the long Saskatchewan winters. The pool closed soon after the Physical Education pool opened in October 1964.

Bio/Historical Note: The colours green and white were chosen in 1910 by Reginald Bateman, a native of Ireland and the first English professor at the University of Saskatchewan. The name ‘Huskies’ was included in an article in the 20 September 1932 Star-Phoenix: “The Varsity Stadium yesterday morning saw the advance guard of over twenty gridiron Huskies swing into action.” One of the earliest pictures of players wearing sweaters with ‘Huskies’ on them was the 1932-1933 Greystone yearbook, showing the men’s hockey team in uniforms with the new name. Women's teams were using ‘Huskiettes’ by 1937.

Bio/Historical Note: The 1948-1949 Huskiettes won four on the floor, defeating the University of Alberta and the University of British Columbia in Edmonton to take the Cecil Race Trophy as Western intercollegiate champions, winning the Gardiner Trophy as Saskatoon city league champions and adding the provincial junior and senior women's titles. Exams prevented the team from attending the Western Canadian championship. The Huskiettes were undefeated in the 1948-49 season, Ivan King's third as coach of the team. Pat Lawson was the leading scorer, averaging 13 points per game in 18 games. Lydia Yaremchuk was the leading scorer and MVP in the city league, while Peggy Wilton was named the cleanest player. Sylvia Fedoruk and Lydia Yaremchuk were both in their third season with the Huskiettes, Lawson, Wilton and twin sisters Shirley and Jean Howes in their second, while Eleanore Ciuca, Camille Garnier, Dot Lake and Noreen Wallace were all in their first year.

Bio/Historical Note: Green and white were established as the official colours of U of S sports teams in 1909-1910 by Reginald Bateman, a native of Ireland and the first English professor at the University of Saskatchewan. But the Huskies name did not appear at that time. Teams were generally referred to as “varsity” or “the green and white” when they played or appeared in media. The name Huskies was included in an article in the 20 September 1932 Star-Phoenix: “The Varsity Stadium yesterday morning saw the advance guard of over twenty gridiron Huskies swing into action.” The origin of the Huskie name is unclear. One of the earliest images of players wearing sweaters with ‘Huskies’ on across the front was in the 1932-1933 Greystone yearbook, showing the men’s hockey team in uniforms with the new name. By 1937 women’s teams were generally referred to as Huskiettes.
