S., we do so with a great deal of pride and a distinct realization that once again athletes from this school have distinguished themselves in competition with others of more than ordinary ability. Since athletics have always held a prominent place in the life of this school it is only fitting that considera' ble attention be given to this depart- ment in our annual publication, The Echoes. But possibly one of the most difiicult sections to be written is this very departmentg for it is by no means easy to give credit where credit is due and verbal punishment where it seems merited, without slighting someone or incurring the disfavor of another. Al- though all worked equally hard, suc- cess came to some in a greater degree than to others. But such has always been the fate of those who aspired to fame in the field of athletics.

Field Day PERFECT weather conditions, to- gether With the keen interest shown by the large number of students who were present, made this Field Day one of the most successful we have everhad. Jack Patterson won the Senior Championship with first in the 440, high jump, the shot, the javelin throw and the open half-mile, to garner 25 ball, hockey, and track and field events, we of P. C. V. S. have our champions as well as those ordinary athletes, who, if the truth were told, really go to make a successful team. Much of the credit for the success enjoyed by these various groups goes to those coaches who worked diligently to produce teams worthy to represent P. C. V. S. -to Mr. Bamforth, who coached the senior rugby and basket- ball teams, to lVIr. Craig, whose inter- est in track and field events and in the junior basketball team ensured success in this direction. They have co-operated with the B. A. A. to such an extent that this year has been an outstanding success both financially and from the standpoint of athletic achievement. Teams have set a standard this year which future representatives will find difiicult to better. But we wish P. C. V. S. athletes continued and greater success during the coming year.

70 THE EcHoEs l Glcfeff ON May ZS, last year, the P. C. Y. S. Cadet Corps gave a splendid dis- play of company and platoon drill before Captain De Le Panet, the inspecting ollicer. The ceremonial drill was smartly executed and then the individual platoons gave a display of platoon and sectional drill. Une of the highlights of the inspec- tion was the excellent display by the school bugle-band led by Lieutenant Hugh Davidson. The band executed several ditlicult trick-marches flawlessly. The inspecting ollicer was well pleased with the display put on by the school guard and he stated that that was the ilrst time he had inspected a guard in a secondary school inspection. The school iirstfaid corps gave a yery efficient exhibition of bandaging and stretcher bearing. During the course of the inspection the signallers took a message from Captain De Le Panet and relayed it around several blocks back to the school. After the inspection the company was formed into a hollow square and Captain De Le Panet made a short speech. He presented the I. O. D. E. shield to Number One Platoon for general ellciciency. He also presented several medals and pins to members of the school shooting team who had won them during the course of the year. Our cadet corps is indeed fortunate in having Captain H. A. Craig as instructor. It was largely due to his untiring efforts and personal zeal that the corps was able to put on such a splendid display. Plans for this year's inspection are already being formed. The Ohicers' 'Training Corps is being trained by Sergt.-Major Frape of the Prince of XVales Rangers. As an added attraction for those who turn out for this course, machine-gun drill is taken up one night a week. The school rifle teams, under the capable tuition of Ralph Hagerman, are in the D. C. R. A. and R. M. C, competitions. These are not yet finished but we expect our school teams will give a very creditable showing. The Board of Education has seen lit to donate a hundred dollars towards the replacement of the uniforms. It is very likely, however, that this money will be used to dye the old uniforms naxy blue. -T. IICBIILLAN
