TEAM T the date of going to press the gym. team was still in the making, prog- ressing far enough, however, to have elected a captain, in the person of Jim Peters. Jim was on the teams of '29 and '305 the former capturing the silverware for M.D. No. 1, while the 1930 team was tied with Sarnia C.I. for second place. The gym. team makes but two public appearances a yearg the first being at the Physical Training Exhibition, where they bear the brunt of the work, and are large- ly responsible for putting on the demon- stration. Their second appearance is at inspection when they perform before the commanding officers. The stock of this year's team is rising higher after every practice. They have a strong foundation in some of last year's veterans, while there are some 15 or 20 more prospects to fill in the gaps left by those of last year's team, who have grad- uated. Mr. Boyd is training the team while for two days -of every week during February the team was under the able direction of Q. M. S. Instructor Husher, D.C.lVl., from headquarters staff of M. D. No. 1. Q.M. S. I. Husher has done much to whip the team into shape and with a boost such as this the gym. team's chances of pulling up into the premier position of M.D. No. 1 are once more rapidly shooting up. KING: SPO X gg il Physical Education DUCATION of various kinds is essen- tial to the individual in order to live life successfully. In this Physical Ed- ucation has a larger part to perform than most people realize, because it deals with more sides of one's nature than the purely men-tal. To enjoy life and to live intensely, one must be physically able. Otherwise the mental and emotional strain of living in the present-day world would become too 69 great to maintain. This reserve of physi- cal health, which is so necessary, accum- ulates most speedily from regular partic- ipation in recreative sports. Then the mind ceases to turn inward upon itself, the mental tension is lifted, and all the senses become more alive. One begins to enjoy living because the worries of a tiny personal world are lost in the many inter- ests of a world outside oneself. There is a keen satisfaction derived from combin-

Ye I' -'4- if 5 P5 CV'-' PA Tusll A WOSSA TRACK AND FIELD ITH 19 records shattered WOSSA's annual Track and Field meet last spring was declared to 'have been the most successful thus far staged by that organization. To give a description of the various records shattered would be tiresome to the reader as well as the writer but let it sufiice to say here that the way some of those former records were ruined was-well-nigh humanly im- possible. Galt was represented by a team of eight members, who, between the lot of them, succeeded in bringing home but 465 PARATUS one point and that a third taken by. Roel- ofson in the intermediate shot-put. The only other point that was Unearlv made was a fourth taken by Peters in the inter- mediate 220. While certainly not encour- aging, still, when one considers that track is still in its infancy at Galt, it is suffi- cient encouragement to stick at it and hope for the best in the future. The track and field team:-Arnold Bur- den, Laurence Snelgrove, Jack Dawson, Doug. Kemp, George Roelofson, George Egoff and Jim Garden. Coach:-Mr. W. D. E. Donaldson. FIELD DAY CHAMPIONS Reading from Left to Right--Irvine Johnston, Ross Martin, George Attwater, Frank MacDonald, Bob Hughes, Violet Kinder, Madeline Hughes, Gladys Wildman. 'TLC ANNUAL TRACK AND FIELD DAY ESPITE unfavourable atmospheric conditions, one of the most success- ful track and field days was 'held last September with two hundred compet- itors enteredg establishing 24 new record', with the most outstanding event the dash of Snelgrove's to set a new school record of ten seconds flat in the 100 yards. To give all the new records that were estab- lished would be useless but the features of the afternoon's activities apart from Snelgrove's dash of ten flat was his pole vault of 9 feet 9 inches. In the boys' in- termediate class Irvin Johnston caused a mild sensation by smashing the 440, 880, 63 and one mile records to smithereens. In the girls' events 14 of the 24 new records of the day were established, al- though none of them were as sensational as in the male events but rather just a slight lowering or raising, as the case might be, of the former school records. The winners for the various cups Were: Buchanan Cup, Boys' Senior, Frank Mac- Donald, Ross Martin and Robert Hughes all tied. Boys' Intermediate, Irvine John- ston. Chapple Cup, Boys' Junior, G. Att- water. Board Cup, Girls' Senior, Gladys Wildman. Girls' Intermediate, Madeline Hughes. Students' Cup, Girls' Junior, Vio- let Kinder.
