FIELD DAY Field day was he-ld in the early fall. Much interest was shown by the girls, and a large number took part in the different events which included: CAD Broad jump, High jump, Dash. CBD Basketball and Baseball throwing for distance, Baseball in teams of two, and the Relay race. Each girl was allowed to enter in three events, choosing two of the events from Class A and the remaining one from Class B or vice-versa. This regulation. was to avoid declaring as champion a per- son entering in only one type of event. In this way the competition was close and the scores lower than in former years.

104 THE COLLEGIATE We 9 il 2 vs A ' , 8 v1liliHiN It is a recognized fact that if girls' sports are to be a success in our school life, 'every girl who is physically fit should take part in them. With this in view, Miss Scott has given valuable time and effort to the working out .of schedules in the various athletics, to create an interest in friendly com- petitive sports. This has been worked out so success-fully that we now find that each of the 400 girls in the school has found for herself a position on one or more of her form teams. No longer do a dozen or so girls mon-opolize the field of sport while the rest sit and look on. Everyone is showing a keen interest in the new outlook on sports. This year there is to be a prize for the individual Champion Athlete. Points are not only awarded to the win- ners in the different activities but are also given for participation, so the champion may not be a star in any one sport but la keen participant in many. I To date, the competitions which have been completed are: Fr-ee Throw Tournament, Field Day, Swimming Meet, and Interform Basketball.
