FIELD DAY The Field Day of 19.24 was by far the most successful one held yet as weather conditions were excellent and a much longer list of compet- itors was entered than usual. The school campus was thickly dotted with spectators running hither and thither to find a most advantageous spot for sight-seeing. Many who considered themselves fortunate in obtaining a place on the temporary erected bleachers had their plans shattered when the wooden struc- tures came down with a crash to the general merriment of all. lYith such a large number of en- tries the various events were soon under way and by noon the greater part had been iinishedg these con- sisted mainly of ball-throwing, tar- get work, and jumping. The latter attracted keen interest with Howard Carter featuring as winner of the high jump reaching almost the 6 ft. mark. The afternoon programme began at two o'clock with a soft ball game between the Senior and -lunior girls, with the former carrying off the honours. For the dashes and the running events a splendid track had been marked ont. .-Xt the conclusion of the events came the announcement uf the girl champions. ,lean lllieatcroft nf 3.-X Coll. headed the list uf the senior girls, with the large number of 21 points followed closely by llelen Donald of .QA Coll. who gained Io points, and thirdly by Yida Simp- son of JC Coll. with IO points, Special Commercial was well re- presented in the Intermediate divis- ion when .lean Needham claimed

In the statement of 1924 the Sarnia Collegiate ranked 16th in the Do- minion and Ist among the Colleg- iates of Canada. In an attempt to gain ever greater prestige the num- ber of girls who have been devoting much of their time in learning the art of life-saving has greatly in- creased. Although the examination has not yet been tried it is expected that the girls will have little trouble in obtaining it. Those interested in swimming wish to thank Miss Scar- row for the interest she has taken, and the time she has spent, in teach- ing the instructors who in their turn have taught the beginners. HOCKEY ll'hile the school rink on the cam- pus lasted the girls became so in- terested and enthusiastic about hoc- key. that they held practices not only on 'lluedays and Thursday but often on Saturdays. Ollie McGrath was elected captain and Edna Cob- ban manager. Under Miss Going's appreciated coaching a team was practically chosen. Ga-mes with NVatford and other hockey towns were planned when the Spring wea- ther intervened and ended any fur- ther development along this line.
