Milk Meet On November fourth about thirty boys ventured to the Gardens in Toronto and witnessed a colourful and inspiring show of world class gymnastics. Represented were competitors from Russia, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, Great Britain, the U.S.A. and of course, Canada. The competitions in both men ' s and wo- men ' s classes were ones of which all the skills of the gymnasts were tested. The scoring was based on a number of events including such feats as the horizontal and uneven bars. All the competitors were fantastic gym- nasts and it was a close competition all through the meet. However, at the end, the gymnast from Germany took the men ' s competition and to the enjoyment of the crowd, Canada took the first place medal in the women ' s division. Everyone who went really enjoyed him- self and we re all looking forward to next year ' s Milk Meet. It will probably be even better than this year ' s, if that is possible!

Unlike past years we have not been and hot be able to rely upon a core of experienced, mely talented debaters to carry the bulk of the .. As a result, this year ' s program has been ■d to involve as many people in as many debat- ituations as possible. Every Wednesday night clubs are active, the Junior and the Inter- ate. ie latter is an idea conceived, organized and by James Bursey with invaluable assistance Chad Dakin. They have already had a team ? up of Steve Thomson, Rich Wilson and John re win at Havergal. The work done by this p is certain to raise the standard of debating e school. le Juniors, under Phil Pinnington and Rod wood, have finally settled to seriously debate. that they have, the amount of talent the p possesses is being fully realized. Seagram Walton have done well, along with other not- Rich, Little, Galpin, Hawker, and Holland, f whom have debated for the school with en- aging success. ar first series of debates were Intramural, $ned to uncover talent in the school and to give debaters a chance to experience speaking in hall. The Appleby Tournament provided the test. James Bursey again won it while B zy, aker, and Sculthorpe placed well. At St. Cle- ts three of the new talents represented the ol. Unfortunately they did not do very well. were Dunlop, Tench, and Miller. The first known as the Dynamic Duo also went to ergal for the tournament there. With Dakin did very well, an encouraging sign since in had been sick for a long period of time, delightful evening was enjoyed by the school n Super Liz and the lassies of Branksome came down. Andy Thomas and Ted Savage surprised everyone, including themselves, by speaking well. It was decided that Branksome should not move to Port Hope. Unfortunately the Fulford league has begun with two losses, to U.C.C. and Appleby. Mark Armstrong, Bart Sutherland, and Adam dePencier met a strong Upper Canada team at home, making a good stand as government supporting the re- institution of departmental exams. Although de- Pencier emerged as a solid debater it was obvious that the team was not prepared, a condition brought about by a previous week that was so full of annoying events, proper coaching was im- possible. At Appleby we were again the government sup- porting the resolution: Politics is an honour- able profession . Phil Pinnington, Sandy Gaus- den, and Larry Aitken did a very good job, but not enough to win. Not even a rather overpower- ing rebuttal by Pinnington sufficed to sway the judges ' close decision for Appleby. This year ' s executive is itself rather new to the game. The President is Phil Pinnington, the Speaker Rod Kirkwood, Mark Armstrong is the Secretary and James Bursey III is the Whip. Alain Wilson, though sick for a while, is doing a good job as Steward and our amiable Host is Rick Byers. Mr. Wilkinson has offered his help in coaching for which we are grateful. Of course the indomitable Mr. Lawson is still at the controls, as harried as ever. With the talent that is being uncovered the lea- gue debates that we have should be victories for us in the near future. Our only other aim is to involve more people in the program as the year progresses.

Oxford Cup lis year ' s Oxford Cup race was run on a cold, ast day in mid-November. It had rained the | before and the 4.2 mile course was slippery, hundred and fifty-one nervous competitors up on the railroad grid. This was the largest •ring in years and at 2:15 they were off. All pre- ?ived notions of setting an easy pace were inn- ately forgotten as the mad throng dashed up Glen Road. The racers began to spread out as i came out of the first fields and headed towards 01. Northey, Chalmers, Martin and Payne were ig the pace at the mid-point. From above, the must have looked like a mile long piece of wind- sstring. After 23 minutes, it was Chalmers, of e, leading Northey, of Brent, down the back :h and at the end it was Chalmers over Northey 1 seconds.
