6 D. M. C. I. BREEZES SPORTS NEWS THE DANIEL McINTYRE FIELD DAY WHAT a memorable day our own Field Day of 1927 will be to us! To think of three hundred and forty girls taking part in the events— more than half the girls in the school. It was a chilly day, but this did not hinder the athletes, except that it prevented them from breaking any records. Room 55 carried off the honors by winning the shuttle relay race. We congratulate them, for they deserve the honor. In the Junior dash Olivia Anderson, Room 53, and Nellie Sellwood, Room 55, won first places, both running the 75 yards in 10 seconds flat. Evelyn King, Room 58, covered the distance in 10 1 5 seconds. Olivia Anderson and Evelyn King were chosen to represent the school on Inter-High Field Day. In the Senior dash, Marguerite Ross, Room 22, came first, with the time of 9 1 5 1 seconds. Lillian Furney, Room 55, who came second, ran the distance in 10 1 5 seconds. Norma Stanley, Room 52, and Beulah Braid, Room 58, finished the race close upon the leading runners. The Junior ball throw was won by Hilda Decter, Room 61; Laura Johnson, Room 55, coming second and Elizabeth Morganstern, Room 24, third. In the Senior ball throw, Lillian Decter, Room 19; Gertrude Ryckman, Room 7, and Florence Pepper, Room 61, came first, second and third respectively. —Marguerite Ross. Room 22. INTER-HIGH FIELD DAY Before I relate the events of Field Day, on behalf of the girls 1 wish to congratulate the boys’ track team on the good showing they made, particularly in the long distance events. As usual, our girls came out with flying colors, winning 18 points out of a possible 26. The most exciting races of the day—the girls’ shuttle relays—both were won by Daniel McIntyre. In the Senior ball throw Lillian Decter, Room 19, came first, thus winning 3 points for the Collegiate. The Junior ball throwers, Hilda Decter, Room 61, and Laura Johnson, Room 55, won second and third places respectively, gaining 3 more points for the school. The Junior dash winners, Olivia Anderson, Room 53, and Evelyn King, Room 58, did well. Olivia came third, winning yet another point. The Senior dash further increased the total, Marguerite Ross, Room 22, winning this event, her time being 9 2 5 seconds. Lillian Furney, Room 55, came second with 10 1 5 seconds. Between these two girls five points were scored, bringing the total number of points to 18. Although St. John’s carried off the shield, Daniel McIntyre did very well, being but two points behind the winners. I am sure we all , appreciate what the boys and girls did for the school. —Marguerite Ross, Room 22.

D. M. C. I. BREEZES 5 OUR PRINCIPAL ’J ' O those of our number who have entered the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate this year for the first time, the kindly words of advice given by Mr. Campbell at the Opening, must still be very fresh in memory. How much those words have meant to many of us! In some cases, the difference be¬ tween choosing a career absolutely unsuited to our talents, and one in which we can be entirely at ease. Few of us realize just how much our principal means to the school as a whole, and to the individual scholar. Let’s all wish Mr. Campbell the jolliest possible Christmas, and the happiest year fie ever has ex¬ perienced. “For he’s a jolly good fellow.” MR. A. C. CAMPBELL KM OUT OF SCHOOL LIFE INTO LIFE’S SCHOOL QUT of our school life into Life’s school, Out of the placid and sheltering pool, Into the mad, rushing, turbulent stream That scorns our ideal and laughs at our dream. Out of the hoping and planning of Youth Into the waking and knowledge of Truth. We lay down the text-book to take up the tool, Out of our school life into Life’s school. Out of the training-camp into the Line, Where one dare not falter and one dare not whine, Where the battle is stern, and no quarter is shown. And, saddest of all, we must fight it alone. Out from the classroom, the campus, the game, Into the struggle for future and fame; Where Experience will teach with an adamant rule, Out of our school life into Life’s school. —Roy Caven, Room 8; Charlie Mann, Room 13.

D. M. C. I. BREEZES 7 BASKETBALL Our basketball schedule has been planned, and so far three games have been played. Room 19 defeated Room 61. Room 7 was vanquished by Room 6 and Room 22 won 17-6 from Room 46. The first game was handled by Mona Smith of Room 15. Norma Stanley and Lillian Decter refereed the second game, and Dorothy Hil¬ ton and Lillian Decter the third. FOOTBALL Competition for the High School football honors was also very close this fall. The fine weather and the interest taken by the student body was an improved factor over other seasons. Kelvin proved the winner without losing a game. Final league standing: P. W. L. D.

FIELD DAY It has been said that the Winnipeg Annual Inter-High School Field Day is the keenest in Western Canada. A visit to the last would have proved this. The competition was the closest in years, which perhaps accounted for the seven records that were broken. Daniel McIntyre athletes acquitted themselves creditably, coming for t ' he third successive year a close second to St. John’s. Every mem¬ ber of the team gave his best; but Wilson, by winning the Senior indi¬ vidual championship, and Douglas Cook by breaking the Primary high jump record, were outstanding. The “meet’ was productive of some very exciting contests. This was particularly true of the mile and half mile runs of the intermed¬ iate class. Penwarderi, bearing the winged “C,” in both cases, nosed out Sharpe of Kelvin, after thrilling stretch battles. These distance events were Daniel McIntyre’s strong points, for the “red and white’’ accounted for five out of six. The girls from our school as usual held up their end. They won their division with points to spare. The following is a summary of the points gained by each class: Girls Primary Junior Intermediate Senior Total D.M.C.I. .. 3 2 113 10 St. J. 2 3 3 3 1 12 K.T.H.S. 1 1 2 2 2 8 —H. E. Kibblewhite. (We notice that Bill is too modest to make mention of his remark¬ able performance in the Senior mile, and half-mile. Congratulations, Bill!)
