13 Physical Education Society The Society has progressed considerably in one year from the mere one hour weekly class from which it originated. The term Physical Education has come to imply a broad outlook over the whole range of purposeful and enjoyable physical activities, and the object is to enthuse boys with this love of sport for its own sake, so that we may have a more physically fit generation in adult life. A meeting was called when the school re-opened after the 1950 Summer Vacation for all boys interested in joining the Society. A membership of 80 gave plenty of encouragement, and from these a committee of seven was chosen to run the society. Leaders were selected and these had the task of organising their particular sport. The arrangement has worked quite well and boys have played, in addition to the normal sports on the school programme, Basket Ball, Rugby and Hockey, put on a Gymnastic Display and been to a week- end camp on Hawkins Island. Another camp is now being arranged and the enthusiasm shown for it amply repays the trouble of making all the necessary arrangements. Tennis coaching by Mr. Charlie Ward at the Tennis Stadium has been under way for the past two terms and many boys have taken advantage of the opportunity. Lunch time swimming on the North Shore is also a very popular activity but the poor weather this term has prevented the best results from being obtained. I had hoped to train boys in life saving technique and pass them through the R.L.S.S. examination at the end of this term, but the chance to train seems to be fading. Fencing and archery are on the programme, too, but both activities await the appearance of a competent instructor. K. B. Inter House Swimming Competition September 22nd Two records were broken during the course of the afternoon at the Langton Pool when Constable clocked 33.9 seconds in the Group E 50 yards Backstroke. The former record was held by A. L. Mullin with a time of 36.6 seconds. Another record was established by D. Thorne who covered the 50 yards Freestyle race in 30.4 seconds. His best time was set up in the heat, though he also broke the record in the final, with a time of

15 Inter House Boxing Competition February 23rd It came as a surprise to many of the spectators on the evening of March 23rd to be ushered into the assembly hall instead of the gymnasium which had recently been completed. The reason, how- ever, is very simple — outdoor shoes would ruin a costly floor specially prepared for gymnastics. Ultimately, however, it is hoped that a large sheet of canvas to cover the whole floor will be available and that the boxing will then be staged in the gymnasium. After a long day of ' battle ' covering nearly 60 bouts, the finalists were selected and four days later were keyed up for the fray. The ability shown was, I am assured, better than anything so far seen in the school. Naturally one expects considerable improvement when boys are able to be coached in Physical Education periods set aside on the timetable, in which boxing is taught. Excitement ran high as bout by bout Saltus and Watlington fought for first place leaving Darrell and Butterfield to struggle for third. It will be seen below how close was the contest when only one point decided the issue. The prizes were presented by Brigadier H. D. Maconochie, M.C., who complimented the boys on their fine sportsmanship and style and remarked on the smartness of the seconds, who for the first time were dressed in white.
