THE ECHQTZS To my mind the boys' Intermediate section provided the highlights of a thrill- packed afternoon. Every event was keenly contested, and XV. Wright at the close of the afternoon was declared Intermediate Champion, having amassed a total of 30 points. In doing this he showed suflicient stamina and versatility to carry off top honours in the 100 yards, Q20 yards, javclin, discus and shot put.. Another promising performer was revealed to the eyes of the spectators in the person of Peggy Lawless, who won the cup awarded to the Junior Girl Champion. Douglas Cruthers, who won the Senior quarter mile after a great deal of stilt opposition, was so hard pressed that he set a new record for this distance. The other groups while not breaking any records provided many crowd-pleasing struggles before the ultimate winners were decided. This statement applies more to the girls than to the boys as the fair ones' practically fought tooth and nail before they would concede any event to their opponents. I have, during my short span of life, witnessed thc British Empire Games and many of the finest indoor track performances on this continent. Therefore, I feel that I am jusliiied in offerfing criticism which I know will help to improve the calibre of our track and field athletes. Namely this. more than t.wo months t1'aining must be undertaken before 'teen-aged boys and girls can be expected to enter meets and give performances of which they are capable. Then, with this- in mind, I advocate the organizing of a track team in this collegiate in order that the bearers of the Hgarnet and greyv may regain a little of the prowess, which their predecessors at- tained in this province in the past. William Ford, 53' Academic. Ql-... Tforse Sense ANY essays have been written to prove that a certain animal is more intelligent than all others. Some writers have been impressed by the play- fulness of kittens and have passed on their impressions to others. Some have been moved to literary effort by a. dog or dogs which have displayed ability or sagacity unusual in dumb animals. VVe also have a wealth of stories about horses, some en- tirely fictitious, and some founded on a.ctual facts. I have a team, ltlolly and Dot, which I drove five years, now on my father's farm. We purchased these horses from one man and they had always been driven together. They had a friendship between them very similar to humans. They wanted to be pals. They worked together and they wanted to eat, drink and play together. Either one of them was very jealous if the other were given special privileges. A horsets stomach is very closely related to a man's. Both are very difficult to fill. When considering eating, horses have interesting habits along this line. Wihen cattle are hungry they begin to bawlg when a pig is hungry it will squealg but when a horse is hungry it saves its breath until it hears someone approaching. VVhen I would open the stable door in the morning I would be greeted by a friendly Good morning. I'm hungryu from Dot and Molly. But if I waited outside they would not make a sound until I did. Dot was the more insistent speaker in the duet and would not be silent until she received her portion of oats or sugar-beets. In the apple season I was accustomed to carry my pockets full of apples when I went to work in the fields, and eat them as a sustaining lunch between meals. VVheu

October the Ewelftb, 1934 RE there any of my readers who can recall the special significance of that date? October the twelfth? No! the ltlorro Castle disaster did not occur on that day. Picturing with sympathy your puzzled countenances, the futile distortions of your imaginations, I will reveal all. October tl1e twelfth 1934 saw the successful renewal of the Field Day, held by the Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School after an interval of two years-years long to be remembered for the apathetic manner in which the student body regarded such sports. During those .years it would have taken a super-man, witl1 the courage of Richard Coeur de Lion, overflowing with optimism, to predict the return of track and field sports to our collegiate. The idea of resuming the Field Day was planted in the minds of the student body, early in September, by lNIr. Craig, who announced that training facilities were at the disposal of those interested in track and field competitions. Innnediately under the guidance of various members of the staff, practices were held on the school campus and at the Exhibition Grounds. Before many days had elapsed the pupils as a whole availed themselves of these opportunities and due to this fact it was readily seen that the number of athletes Would compare favourably with that of other years. The weather man, as though an old student trying to assist his Alma llater. must have been working in conjunction with the athletic committee. The weather belonged to that mythical period of the year known as Indian Summer, You who have studied chemistry realize the importance of mixing in the right proportions to attain success. Imagine if you can the effect of sunlight, occasional showers and drying breezes, on a smooth-surfaced half mile track, surrounding a picturesque green infield, conveniently situated before a capacious grandstand. As a lengthy list of statistics at this point would prove boresome, I will deal lightly with this phase of sports day. The boys' section was divided into four groups. Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Juvenile, according to the ages of the contestants. The girls were placed in three groups, namely Senior, Intermediate and Junior. In all there were approximately 550 competitors brought together in a total of 60 events. These figures point out the fact that over one half of the student body participated in Field Day, which had been in the doldrums the past few years.
