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.

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.

Happiness is increased when shared in playing games as in any other activity. A standard of right living is a neces- sary foundation for every life. Surely the A Girls' ESPITE the fact that the girls of the G. C.
