Billy Alsop Form Representatives - Bill Bauer, Stan. Reilly, David Johnson, Donald Metler ANNUAL FIELD DAY Finally the anxiously awaited day for the annual event was approaching. On October 11, 1939, the pupils adjourned to the playgrounds to capture laurels and to win for themselves the title of being the outstanding athlete of P. C. S. The weather was perfect and several records were established. Following were winners: Senior boys, Paul Tokar, winner of A. B. Dam- ude Challenge Cup, Intermediate boys, Bill Alsolp, winner of E. Anderson Trophygjunior Boys, Lloyd Stirtzinger, winner o P. C. S. Cup. Records established: In the Senior class, Paul Tokar was the outstanding athlete by breaking tive records namely, running broad jump, hop-skip and jump, running high jump, pole vault and shot put. Indeed, Paul made such a splendid showing that we expect to see him win new laurels at the St. Cath- arines track meet in the spring, and perhaps some day he might . . . ? who knows? In the Intermediate class Bill Alsop and Ken Hampton were the record- breakers. Bill broke the running broad jump and running high jump records and Ken broke the record for the standing broad jump. In thejunior class, although there were no new records, there was however, a good showing and more competition. Lloyd made a clean sweep of all the events.

THE PELHAM PNYX 67 SOCCER As the fall days began to get colder, our thoughts turned to Smithville, who were the bitter rivals of the P. C. S. clan. After a few practices, our coach, quite confident that we were in shape, decided we should tackle these laddies. With the splendid foot-work of Gordon Beamer who accounted for two goals, we fortunately won by a score of 3-7.. A return game was held the following week at Smithville and Gordon again became the hero by scoring the only goal to tie up the score. Thus the final result of the series was P. C. S. 4, Smithville 3. HOCKEY With the fine co-operation of Mr. Crossley and the students, we managed to have the rink in shape for the coming hockey season. The Athletic Society wishes. to thank the Literary, who have made it possible for us to secure hock- ey equipment. Since the weather turned out line, hockey and ice skating were enjoyed for weeks. V The P. C. S. did not have any team this year, but we hope that the boys will get together next year and have a line hockey club. INTER-FORM HOCKEY This was the first year that the classes decided to have form competition. Several games were played, with Form Il coming out on top by winning most games. Stan CPeglegD Reilly, the dynamic youngster from Fonthill, was the star of the team. Keep it up, Stan! A great season was enjoyed under the capable handling of Mr. Crossley. Our only hope is that the time will come when P. C. S. can put out a champ- ionship hockey team. , A BASKETBALL Basketball practices began early in the fall and a group of new members ventured to learn how to play basketball. There was a great scarcity of Senior boys, and the Athletic staff under Mr. Laing decided to enter only a Junior team. The Junior boys got away to a good start by defeating Port Colborne, but they didn't do as well as was anticipated, since opposition was keener than usual in the Junior Division this year. The team members gained much val- uable experience from their games and practices, and as the season progressed showed improvement in shooting and passing. The boys should be compli- mented on the way they turned out for practices and their perseverence in the face of heavy opposition. Scores were high against them in various cases, but win or lose, the team showed a good reputation for clean sportsmanship. The team wishes to thank Mr. Laing for his line coaching and for devot- ing much of his time to try and establish healthy lads for the future. SENIOR BOYS' BASKETBALL The Seniors accompanied by the Grads, played a few exhibition games with various schools. Thanks to the help of R. Secord, L. Lymburner, D. Horton Qstars of former yearsl we were successful in winning a few games. Merritton Seniors nearly gave P. C. S. quite a heart failure in one game, but the local quint. came forth with a 1417.3 victory. ., ,
