48 RAREBITS HIGH SCHOOL FIELD DAY CHAMPIONS Class Senior Intermediate Junior Juvenile Boys Garnet Ireland David Cooper Bill Atkinson Homer Smith Girls Mary Sheppard Margaret Smith Frances Taylor Pat Middleton Eughg JIM FERREY, IV The rugby team didn't have the luck this year that they had last. The main reason for this was that we lost a great many of the experienced men. We were grouped with Oakville and Grimsby and we lost 10-11, Then when the scheduled games were played there was a three way tie. We got the bye, so Oakville and Grimsby played off and Oakville won. We then played off with Oakville and lost the game 8-7. The regular line-up of the team was: Centre Half, Hedley, Capt., Fly- ing Wing, Galashang Inside, Har- shaw, R, Inside, McCormick, L. Mid- dle, Jim Ferrey, R. Middle, Cooper, L. Outside, Lockhartg R, Outside, Eatong Quarter Back, Thorpe, L. Half, Freemang Kicking Half, Elsam, and Snap, Milligan, The sub line-up was as follows: Allan, Mitchell, Brooker, Whetham, Ireland, Peart, R. Ferrey, Shaver, Rusby, Smith, Coombe, Ayliie as water-boy, Bill Hedley, first-aid. The outstanding players were: Hedley, for his all-round good play- ing, Thorpe, a first year man who made the regular team, and was only out twenty minutes in the whole sea- song Galashan and Cooper, two strong plungersg Elsam for broken field run- ning, Eaton and Lockhart for tack- ling, McCormick for breaking up the plays of the opposing team, J. Ferrey and Harshaw for interference, Brooker for receiving forward passes. Mr. St. John proved himself a very competent coach, and a good sport on every occasion.

RAREBITS 47 italian Glnuntg Sfvrnnharg Svrhnnlz Elnierarhnlamtir illielh emh Efrark illilrvt By C. MANNING, IIIA On October 3rd at Burlington High School the fifth consecutive Halton County Field Meet was held. From every point of view it was a wonder- ful success. The crowd was of the record-breaking type, and as a result the finances of the Athletic Societies recuperated remarkably. The four schools in competition were Burling- ton, Oakviile, Milton and Waterdown, since Acton and Georgetown were not represented as in past years. The visiting schools entered strong teams and although Burlington led from the start it was a close race, and many times during that hectic day the en- thusiastic supporters of B. H. S. had qualms and forebodings, The good old blue and gold came through again, however, and Burlington won the Lions' Club trophy emblematic of the interscholastic championship in track and field events among the secondary schools of Halton county. The schools finished with the following points in the order named: Burlington, 160113 points, Oakville, 1093 Milton, 775 Waterdown, 491f2. The day was ideal for sports of any nature. The lengthy programme was run off smoothly and efiiciently by excellent oflicials. We were fortu- nate in having with us several promi- nent members of the Hamilton Olym- pic Club, Robert CBobbyJ Kerr as starter and M. M. CBobbyJ Robinson as referee for the track events were ably assisted by residents of Burling- ton, audit is largely due to the efforts of the officials that the meet was such a huge success. The judges were George Howse, Colin Smith, Dr. Walker, James Tresidder, Lee Smith, Daniel Barrett, W. G. Mallett and oth- ers. A large crowd of enthusiastic stu- dents from the various schools accom- panied the competitors, and these supporters urged on their respective teams by every effort known to root- ers. All day long the campus re- sounded with the various school yells. Both on' track and campus very fine school spirit was exhibited, and the various contestants fought grimly for their respective schools. This meet, the first held at Burling- ton for a number of years, was pro- claimed by many as the finest ever held in the county. Certainly from start to finish everything was a dis- tinct success, and this day should be marked as a red letter day in the an- nals of Burlington High School. ifurlingtnn Eigh Svrhnul Annual iliivlh Bag C. MANNING, IIIA This important annual event held on September 4 at Burlington High School was once again a real success. The wonderful weather contributed not a little to the general success, and this combined with a smoothly run off programme made a perfect day. Keen interest was shown in the standing of the forms, and when the results were compiled it was found that form II A had won the form pen- nant, with form III B runner-up. As usual, boys and girls were di- vided into four classes: juvenile, jun- ior, intermediate and senior. A num- ber of local citizens were present, and they kindly acted as judges. Al- though the meet was of necessity di- vided into two parts, the semi-finals on Monday and the finals on Wednes- day, this fact did not detract from the splendid and even brilliant per- formances which were displayed to the large crowd of supporters. Another memorable Field Day has passed, and it is one of which the High School and the residents of Bur- lington can be justly proud.
