'rf-+ --- 'Cf' Tfielb 'fDay GIRLS RACK and field sports have again come into prominence in the athletic life of 1'.f'.VS. Boys and girls together tur11ed out with enthusiasm to add a. 11ew page to the records ol' I'.C.Y.S. Although in the girls' events no records were broken. the chief purpose of field day was achieved because such large numbers of the girls took part either in the actual events or as oflicials. Some of the revived interest was due to new equipment. Practices were also facilitated by the new jumping pits put in at the south side of the school. The girls were divided into three groups: Junior-fourteen years and under: lntermediate-fifteen and sixteen years. and Senior-seventeen and over. The winners ol' the groups were presented with silver cups at a morning assembly. The individual winners received ribbons on the field. Two girls tied for first place in the Senior group. Marguerite Wood SD and llargaret Lytle 5B with IQ points each. The lnlermediate winner was Muriel Mac-Millan IB Commercial. The Junior cup was won by Peggy Lawless with Q6 points. As the number of points indicates. Bliss Lawless outdistaneed all the competitors. being placed among the winners in every event. Besides the School Meet a preliminary informal meet was held with Lakefield High School girls. in which P.C.V.S. carried oft the honours. After the meet those who took part in it were entertained at supper by the GAA. BOYS HIS year Field Day was dragged out of the moth balls, in which it had been packed a couple ol' years ago. A grant from the Studentls Council fanned its glowing embers into flame. school enthusiasm was aroused to the highest pitch and a perfect fall clay was set aside by the committee as the date on which P.C.I. athletes were to compete for Field Day honours. ..70..

. THE BCH , ES Boys and girls practised faithfully for the event. Jumping pits were prepared near the school, filled with saw-dust and conditioned by wrong doers in cal classes. The campus served as a runway for the javelin throwers, the discus-tossers and shot- putters, and the practice for track events was held at the Exhibition Grounds. Altogether there was a record crowd assembled at the Grounds on that Friday afternoon, to watch our students strut their stuff. The entries were so numerous that events were run off in groups, Senior and Intermediate, Junior and Juvenile. Group winners received cups, and the winners of the different events had ribbons pinned on their sweaters. All in all, field day was a complete success this year in that there was a record attendance and that a number of former track records were shattered. M.
