Glnuntg Ellielh illllret GRACE VIRTUE, IV For the fifth year in succession the .Burlington High School won the Lions' Club trophy, emblematic of the interscholastic championship in track and field events among the sec- ondary schools of Halton County. The Meet this year, held at Burlington, appeared to be a greater success than ever before. The B. H. S. boys and girls both succeeded in winning a great number of points over the other schools. Although the boys worked very hard, they could not come up to the girls, and the latter gained 1015 points over the boys, Burlington's total was 16015 points, while the run- ner-up, Oakville, had 109. One of the girls' outstanding events was the spiral relay. This was a new feature, as it was introduced this year for the first time. The girls, in their blue and orange sweaters, dart- ing between the posts, called for a great deal of cheering, and certainly got it, Of course, they won. During the afternoon the girls, un- der the supervision of Lib. Coleman and Miss Martyn, were kept busy at their booth. From this prettily deco- rated stand were served pecan sun- daes, punch and other delicious re- freshments. Meanwhile the sports were draw- ing to a close, and about 5.30 the field day was finished, with B. H. S. as usual fwe hope forever and anonj on the top.

Owing to the limited number of Senior play- ers surviving from last year, no Sen- ior team was entered in the League. The group in which the Junior team was entered consisted of Dundas, Wa- terdown and Burlington. The first game was played at Wa- terdown, and Waterdown carried off the victory, but Burlington managed to defeat their opponents in the re- turn game at Burlington. The next game was between Dun- das and Burlington, The Junior team was out in full force, showed a snappy brand of basketball, and succeeded in carrying home another victory. The senior team, also, played an exhibi- tion game with Dundas, and they, too, brought another victory to the al- ready long list of Burlington's hon- ors, Burlington eliminated Dundas in a return game played at Burling- ton. Our Junior team now had the opportunity of playing off with Grimsby for the Niagara district championship. It was unfortunate that these games with Grimsby should have come at the time of the flu epidemic which swept over our community, be- cause three of our girls were unable to play. At Grimsby, Burlington lost by a small margin, and also lost in the return game, Thus the Junior team lost their opportunity of going to Windsor, and so following in the steps of the Senior team of last year. However, Burlington had a chance to play off for the Hamilton District. shield with Westdale Collegiate, This was perhaps the most outstanding game of the year. The girls certain- ly gave a real exhibition of good bas- ketball. They managed to pull out with a tie. On the return game, how-- ever, Burlington lost by a few points. The Junior team has one more chance, that of winning the Consola- tion Cup in the City League. This cup was donated by Mr. Bates, so nat- urally we are rather anxious to have Burlington claim it. With the conclusion of this game, which is to be played soon, basketball season' come to an end, with the bright hope of Better luck next. year!
