Junior: 1st, Taylor; 2nd, Bishop. Time: 17 minutes, 34 seconds. Despite a brisk shower at lunch time, it turned out to be a delightfully warm afternoon, when, on Saturday, April 20th, the school gave an exhibition of athletic prowess before a very large turn-out of parents and friends. Some of the events proved most exciting; noteworthy efforts being the thrilling finishes to the Senior 220 and 880. The Intermediate events were not without bril- liance. Gillespie ii executing a splendid long jump to win over a large field of entries; while Holmes showed good form and speed in the dashes.

We lose our every care And are like the creatures gay, With winter ' s cares all brought to bay. Spring is in the air! The tiniest, scamp ' ring hare Leaps o ' er hill and down each dale Keeping in sight his mother ' s tail. Spring is in the air! New life is everywhere. Streams and forest full abound Now that the frost has left the ground. Spring is in the air! We ' ll to the woods repair — Open the heart; and address Our thanks to God for loveliness.

First, on the courts themselves many improvements have been made, chief among which are the construction of new stands for spectators and the repairing of the nets. Then, because of the abundance of good players, a tennis team was formed for the first time in several years. This team, made up of Wiebenson, A. W. Gillespie, I. Gillespie, Clarke, Todd and Archibald, won three of four matches played. Mr. Hocking came out from Victoria once a week and gave valuable coaching in the finer points of the game. The awarding of colours for outstanding play was also revived this year; the recipients being Wiebenson and A. W. Gillespie. The majority of the boys and some of the staff took part in a ladder tournament throughout the term, and competition was keen.
