Botelho (Saltus) School Sports Day This year ' s Athletic Season proved to be a very satisfactory one and as a climax on the School Sports Day 13 new records were set up. The actual standard of Athletics was high, the House spirit was keen throughout the entire season and every boy made the maximum effort possible for his House. Among the most noteworthy performances Harrison set up two new records in Group B. In the Long Jump he cleared 13 ' 6 and in the High Jump 4 ' 31 2 . For Group C Godet set up two new records in the Sprints, clocking 12.3 and 2SA sees, in the 100 yards and 220 yards respectively. His Long Jump performance on ' Sports Day was however a disappointment and he only reached 15 ' 3% , while in practice he had consistently cleared 15 ' 10 which would have been a new school record. New records for Group D were set up in the Field Events rather than on the Track although the Sprinting was as good as ever. In this aspect Berridge did extremely well and was always conscientious about his training.

This year was, however, disappointing and we only managed 3 decisions in the whole evening — this did not however reflect upon the contestants as they really put on a first class show for the School. Luck was however against us in many ways that night — Mayne was unfortunate enough to fracture his finger during the Preliminaries,

22 For Group D, Smith did very well in setting two new records in the High Jump and the Long Jump — 18 ' 4i and 5 ' 2 respectively. Among the other noteworthy performances in Group D Williams and Durrell fought out for first place in the Pole Vault — in the end Williams cleared 7 ' 10 to set up another new record. For Group E Cassidy was an outstanding performer and set up two new records in the Shot Put and the 100 yards Hurdles — in the former he Put a distance of 37 ' 5 and in the 100 yards Hurdles he clocked 14.6 sees. A much improved athlete in Group E this year is Bailey who set up a new record in the Hop Step and Jump with a Jump of 38 ' IIV2 , thereby breaking the old record by 5 ' 2V2 . This year saw another change in the abolition of the Victor Ludorum Trophy — boys are restricted to three events only.
