38 THE NORTHLAND ECHO FIELD DAY CHAMPIONS QS! -923, Left to Right-Mr. Psutka, Clara Johnston, Bill Frair, Thelma Durrell, Ian Martyn, Grace McGaughey. Field Day The first fine day that the weatherman fa- voured us with last fall, was our Field Day. The enthusiasm with which the girls entered the events made this year's Field Day one of our most successful. Our events included run- ning and standing broad jumps, dashes, baseball and basketball throws, and novelty races. Our thanks are due to the members of the staff who so willingly assisted us in making such a suc- cess of our Field Day: The Senior winner was Clara Johnston. The intermediate winners were: Thelma Durrell and Ethel Fodor who tied. The junior winner was Grace Mc- Gaughey. Basketball This year the basketball schedule has been changed. V Collegiate, Special Commercial, IVA and IVB Collegiate played one schedule. All the third forms played another one. The winners of the two groups each played a se- parate schedule and the winners will play off for the junior Championship. There has also been a change in the time of our basketball games this year. On account of the Boys' Drill classes each day until 4:30, the Girls, Inter-form Basketball games are played on Saturday mornings, beginning at 9:30. The girls wish to thank Miss Ash and Miss Gardner who have made our girls' sports one of the main activities in the school, and who devoted a great deal of'their time after school to training two teams of ten girls each, who, on March 21, played exhibition games against the Normal School and the Girls, College.

The Exhibition A splendid gymnastic exhibition was given during the last year's spring term on each of the two open nights, when many of the girls from all parts of the school put on a brilliant display of their training under the instructive guidance of Miss Ash and Miss Gardner. During each evening, classes of both Miss Gardner and Miss Ash displayed some of their regular class activities in their exhibition of folk dances and exercises. An exhibition game of basketball was played each evening, between IVA Collegiate, last year's champion school team, and V Collegiate, runner up, in which V Form carried off the honours the first night and IVA, the second night. The program was brought to a close with a Grand March and a school cheer. Inspection Day Last year for the tirst time, the girls took part in the Cadet Inspection program which was held at the North Bay Arena. The girls, arrayed in their freshly starched gym suits of green, the school colour, executed smartly the manoeuvres of a picturesque march and swung gaily through the various folk dances.
