GYMNASTICS The Gym Competition this year was held on March 15 and as usual we had with us Mr. Archie 1VIcKinnon as judge. About fifteen boys took part and some of the work done was of a very high calibre indeed As customary there were the compulsory and two optional exercises on each piece of apparatus. Collett I1 won the Croft Challenge Cup and the Gaptaincy of the Gym VIII for the year. The other members of the VIII in order of merit were Collctt I, Dalziel. Riley 1, Kreger II, Braide, Morrow, Riley II and NVatt. Watt was accorded a place on the Gym VIII on the strength of his showing last year and this year. He was unfortunate enough to meet with an accident on the day of the competition which prevented his actually taking part. Mr. 1VIcKinnon congratulated the boys on their work and offered them some really good suggestions to consider for future competitions. The Headmaster expressed our appreciation to Mr. 1VIcKinnon for coming here year by year and giving us such helpful criticism. He also thanked Mr. Taylor, the instructor, for his interest and work.
