20 S G»S» Swimming The Annual Inter-House Swimming Meet was held at the Langton Pool in late September of last year. In the Senior Com- petition, Saltus House nosed out Watlington House to win with 41 points to the latter ' s 31 points. Butterfield House was third with 18 points. In the Junior Competition, Watlington House easily led the rest of the field, to win with 37 points: Darrell and Saltus tied for third with 16 each. In the course of the meet, three records were broken. H. King set a new record for the 100 yards free style in Group E with the very excellent time of 64 seconds. In the 50 yards breast-stroke in Group C, Evans set a new record of 41 seconds. Seymour made a new mark in the Group D back-stroke event with 16 2-10 seconds. Many of the other times were close to the records. The standard of swimming has undoubtedly improved in the last year for which we are most indebted to Mr. V. F. ( Chummy ) Hayward for providing the Saltus boys with the use of the Langton Swimming Pool for two afternoons each week during the Summer Term. This term, many enthusiastic swimmers can be seen at the pool practising for the individual Pentathlon Shields, competition for which will be held in early June. Even though only four boys can win these shields, the losers will have improved their standard of swimming to the extent that they will stand a better chance in the forthcoming September Meet. H. C.

The School staged an excellent show, winning all five group cups. Athletic Sports The Sjchool took the honours in the younger age groups, winning all the events in group A, in which D. Nelson and Ford were outstanding. In group B, Collis was our key man, while Critchley, Lewis, and J. Nelson shared the group C honours. In Group D, Saltus ' s only victory was claimed by Harrison, who ran an excel- lent 880 yards. In Group E, Taylor was our lone victor in the 120 ya rds Hurdles. However, in the two older groups, Saltus was not beaten until the final relavs took place. H, C. E. M,
