Marked interest has been shown in this work, and we expect it will increase in the following years. At the athletic entertainment, dir¬ ected by Miss Bearder and Mr. Smith- endorf, the girls gave a splendid exhi¬ bition. being surpassed not even by that of the boys. But basketball re¬ mains the high-light. ' Phis year’s team tried for second place, and decided interest was displayed by the large crowd of spectators at all the games, at home and away. Also, we must not forget the points brought in by the girls on Field Day that made it possible for the trophy to adorn our front hall.

They have an unde¬ feated football team, two champion basketball teams, the Senior and Mid¬ get. and the honour of winning the championship in Intercollegiate Field Meet with a wide margin. Now that the sports events are over, preparations are being carried on for Cadet Inspection and Strathcona work. Last year the corps ranked first of the high schools of Western Ontario in a competition among schools of over 100 enrolment. We express our hopes that the Essex High School will carry on as in former year,’and will be able to win the Field Day Cup and Basket¬ ball Shield to keep as their own. —Rov Martin. IV Form FIELD MEETS Several new school records were es¬ tablished on October 7. when Essex High School held its annual Field Meet at the fair grounds. The day was ideal for sports and the track and jumping pits were in good condition, thanks to Mr. Smithendorf and volunteers who prepared them the previous day. Two sensational records were made, by Ed. Hines in senior boys’ javelin throw and by Orlin Fox in intermed¬ iate boys’ half-mile race. The champions of the day were: Juvenile Girl — Vivian Martin, 18 points. Junior Girl—Elsie Dawson, 18 points. Senior Girl—Mae McGuire, 20 points. Juvenile Boy—Ercell Brown. 24 points. Junior Boy—Donald Coutts, 30 points. Intermediate Boy — Orlin Fox. 34 points. Senior Boy—Norman Heath. 39 points. Would-be humorist: “What would you give me for those jokes?
