and prove their athletic ability, it also serves as a means of bringing students and teachers together and make them acquainted with each other early in the year. Year by year the number competing has been constantly growing. Last fall some 350 entered the various events and about 300 actually took part. The programme of 75 events started at ten o'clock in the morning and but for a short recess at noon, was continued up to six in the evening. The big annual feature of the meet is the inter-school one mile relay race. Challenges were sent to Campion College and the Normal School, but only Campion accepted. R.C.I. won, but Campion put up a hard, determined fight. VVe have not lost this race in a great number of years. It was a long busy day for both teachers and students, and with the finish of the last relay race everybody adjourned for home and supper, tired but happy. This year the elements were with us instead of Nagin us and the nice, mild, sunny afternoon helped to make the meet the best yet. The results brought out the fact that we have some very good athletes in the school and that we are not going back by any means, for 13 records were broken and two tied. The form championships were won by IA with 61 points, IIA for the second time with 70 points, and III D also with 70 points. The individual champions were as follows: Boys all round-1. Fred Howe, 29 points. I 2. Dan Dojaek, 24 points. 3. Glover Howe, 21 points. Girls' all round-1. Minnie Friedgut, 25 points. 2. lVIarion Graham, 21 points. 3. Sophie Sapirga, 12 points.

The Work of the executive consists in planning out and arranging for the various activities during the school year. It also looks after the finances, decides all knotty questions that may come up regarding athletics, and tries to get every boy and girl in the school taking part in some form of sport for health, pleasure and physical education. This year the Association has had a membership of 580 and has done over 3500 Worth of business. This is the largest membership and business the Association has ever handled. A short account of the results in the various sports conducted by the Association follows.: FIELD DAY The first big athletic event in the school year is Field Day.

Athletic Prize Winners Back Row-Dan Dojack, Fred Howe, John Shank. Front Row-Edward McCann, Marion Graham, Constance Campbell, Lorne Renwick. This is a fitting place to mention that two of our athletes last spring secured places in two events at the inter-scholastic track meet run by the University at Saskatoon. Ronald Gooder- ham won the high hurdles and Fred Howe took third in the shot put and high jump. Last year we sent a team of four to compete in this meet but this year, although we have some very good material in the school, it is doubtful if we will send any, partly on account of a lack of funds and partly because we don't see why the meet should be held in Saskatoon each year, which, on account of the expense, doesn't give the southern schools a chance to enter large athletic teams.
