Field Day, an annual event at Darlington Academy, was held in Vlarch of last year. Students decked out in shorts and other summer wear, partici- pated in athletic events and enjoyed a meal on the school grounds. Indi- vidual teachers were supervisors over particular events and kept records of the highest jumps, longest jumps, and best speeds, in the major divisions. On October 24, 1973, the students and faculty of Darlington Academy were honored to hear the talented and popular team of Steve and Maria Gardner as they presented a concert in music in the school's gymnasium. The couple, natives of Chicago, Illinois, have traveled around the world in such events as Key '73 in Finland, and with the Billy Graham Crusades. Also involved in lay renewals and revivals, the duo were well accepted on their second trip to Darlington Academy. Among the working crew at Darlington Academy for the past four years, John Miller, an active member, expressed the desire to have gradu- ated from Darlington Academy. He was later presented, by the Academy, a simulated diploma stating that he had, indeed, graduated from “the school of hard knocks”. Fun, joy and competition are found during Academy's annual field dav. 12 Not competing in any events, some students find time to watrh others.
