School Colours Today at Appleby there are awards for individuals involved in team sports. The two most important are: First, being placed upon the School Record Board, and the other is re- ceiving one ' s Colours and being able to wear the Colours tie and pin. This system has changed considerably from that used in the beginning. Originally , if one made the First Team and played out the season, then one had one ' s name placed upon the Boards in School House and thus got one ' s Colours. The Boards started in 1911-1912 and represented the sports of Hockey, Cricket and Football (Rugby). The original Boards are still hangin g in CoUey House and list the names of players up to 1945. From this time forward, the names of the players have been continued upon the new sets of Boards found in the Class- room Building. These Boards include the names of players, from 1911-1945, found on the original Boards in Colley House. In 1960 a new policy was established within the School for honouring team players. If one made the First Team, then one became a Team Member and was able to wear the white sweater coat, the letter of one ' s par- ticular Team and any small yearly crest. Today the sweater coat, let- ters or yearly crests are very seldom seen on campus. Having made the list for Team mem- ber the next award is that of having one ' s name placed on the Boards, renamed School Record Boards. There is only a certain number of boys, de- pending on the team sport, picked for the Record Boards. If one is given this award one is eligible to wear the striped First Team Blazer. The gaberdine striped blazers first made their appearance around the time the School was started. It is believed that the School purchased bolts of this English-made cloth and had it brought to Toronto, where it was tailored into the striped blazers. The wearing of the jackets was popular up until 1925 and again, it is be- lieved, from 1934, when a group of lads wore them at a Canadian School Boy Cricket Team match. From 1934 onward, they have been the most prized jacket worn on campus. From the list of boys who have made the Team Record Boards a few are chosen to receive their Colours. There is a maximum number for each team sport and the boys are those who show outstanding ability and sports- manship. Those having received this distinction are eligible to wear the special coloured crest and the Appleby Greyhound. In 1969 the School adopted the policy of awarding to a boy who had won his Colours for the first time, a Colours tie and the Colours A pin. The special col- oured crest is not often seen about and the Appleby Greyhound had been adopted by the First Team Rugger and is worn by them over their hearts, on their jerseys. With the building of the new Arena, the Hockey Record Board was moved there in 1970 and is located on the North wall of the entrance way. The Cricket Board is still located upon the wall on the top floor of the Calssroom Building. The Football Board is probably the most looked at Board as it is found on the wall of the main floor of the Classroom Building. In 1959 the Basketball Record Board started and is found on the East wall of the Gym. Also in the Gym is found the Gymnastics Board which started in 1922, but seems to have lost interest since 1966, when it has its last listing of names. With the new interest in gymnastics in the School , it is hoped that the Record Board will again list names of current School gymnasts. With the increased interest, over the last five years in Squash and Rugger, we have established two new Record Boards. The Squash Board is located upon the gallery wall, behind the courts and has its first listing in 1968-69. Rugger started listing names to its Board in 1971. Although the Rugger Record Board is not up yet, it is planned that it will be placed upon the wall, located outside the office of the Physical Education De- partment. With the newly developed interest in Rugger and with the high standards currently achieved, Colours have been awarded in this sport since 1971. The history of the awarding of Colours and of the Record Boards is an inter- esting one, and I personally hope that a high degree of achievement wUl continue to be required for these awards in the future. Thanks to all those who helped me in the digging up of background material for this history.
