THE TWIG Q- Emi - FIELD DAY This year the interest in field and track events was intensified by a complete change in the programme, and in the method of awards. For some years it has been felt that there has not been enthusiasm and effort displayed by competitors in preparation for Field Day. It was hoped that a reorganization of the whole Field Day programme would save this institution and bring it back to the im- portant place that it once held in the athletic life of the school. It was decided to abolish the old system of classification into two schools. In its place was substituted the arrangement of events by ages. No award is given for the winning of any event, but three shields are presented to the first, second and third champions in every age, from ten years to sixteen, and also to the winners of the open class. Twenty-four shields will be given yearly. There are three types, gold, silver and bronze, and they are graded in size, from the smallest for the ten year champions to the largest for the open winners. In addition to the shields for the champions, a small silver cup, suitably engraved, will be presented to any competitor who breaks a school record in any age or open event. This year we were unfortunate in having poor weather, but in spite of the cold and rain, we felt that the meet was the rnost successful held in some years. The estab- lishing of ten new records shows beyond any question of doubt that the new arrangement has met with favor. P m T Z The outstanding performances of the meet were the phenomenal high jumping of Armstrong, who besides clearing the bar at 5'6 for a new record, also shattered the quarter-mile record, and won the senior championship, and in the Junior School the breaking of three records by K. Brown in the ten-year-old class. l K. BROXVN, IC, who broke three records. 130

THE TWIG Weight alone won't do-- you need the energy MILK gives If weight were the all important factor, the mighty Carnera should have won his battles with ease. But it takes more-a brain to think and a body to ACT as well as take it. Milk is nature's ideal food for brain, blood, bones and tissue. City dairy offers you milk from selected herds with all of its vital elements protected from milking time to your glass. ' ,Q-' TORONTO F-i, ORDER DEPT.: MIDWAY 4671 129
