At least one and even two or three teams from every form were organ' ized. The preliniinaries were over quickly and with little fuss. The final games between III B and III C were de' layed by examinations and had to be played at last in a P.T. period as both classes take gym together. After three very close and very exciting games III C managed to win two of the three games. We hope this interesting game will be resumed with even greater en' thusiasm next year. 1101i BADMINTON Badminton went over big this year- there were rackets supplied by the school. Every Form had opportunities to ref ceive instruction from Miss Prittie. The Tournament started April 1 with a good number participating. Who knows some day a Champion Badminton Player may come from Vaughan!

BASEBALL The days of bruised fingers and swollen knuckles are at hand. Girls! If you wish Interform Baseball say so, it all depends on you. TRACK AND FIELD Since it was impossible to hold a regular track and field meet this year, competitions in the various events were held after school hours from May lst to May 10th. Although many girls took part, junior and senior entrants were not so numerous as in other years. As a result the closest competition was seen in the intermediate group, girls hfteen and sixteen years of age. In- dividual championships were awarded as follows: junior - Dorothy Burleigh CID, Runner-up-Violet Roberts ID. Intermediate - Peggy West IIA, Runners-up - Dorothy Roberts IIA, Ruby Warton ftiedj. Senior - Louise Griffiths CIV, Runner-up-Ruby Christian IIB. Champion Form-IIA. The Toronto District Meet was held at the Exhibition Grounds on Saturday, May 11th, with representatives from twelve suburban schools competing. Runnymede girls won first place with 38 points, Vaughan Road second with 27 points, and Weston third with 21 points. A feature of the meet was the work of Doris Chellew, Senior Champion, who scored more than half of the points for the Runnymede team. Peggy West of Vaughan scored nine points, only one point behind Bernice Mathers of Etobicoke, the Intermediate Champion. The most closely contested event among the girls was the 440-yard relay race, in which Runnymede won by inches over Vaughan Road. Dorothy Burleigh, a junior and Yaughan's fourth runner tried valiantly to retain the lead her team-mates had given her, but found the veteran Doris Chellew just a little too speedy for her. Point winners at the meet were as follows: junior - Dorothy Burleigh, Znd Basketball Throw, 3rd Basketball Throw Marjory Ward, Violet Roberts. Intermediate-Peggy West, lst 75- Yard Dash: Znd Running Broad jump, 3rd Basketball Throw. Ruby Warton, 2nd Standing Broad jump. Dorothy Roberts, 3rd Basketball Throw. Senior - Dorothy Christian, Ist Basketball Throw: Louise Griffiths, Standing Broad jump, 3rd Running Broad jump. In addition to the above, the fol- lowing girls competed in different events: juniors - Reta Blankley, Madeline Capone, Manette Davidson, Letty Smart, Dolly Smith, Olive Walsh. Intermediate-Doris Handley, Luella Hall, Margaret Mclvor. Seniors - Beatrice Brown, Ruth Carter, Marjorie Gilbert, Jean McRae, Edith Pudder, Adele Redman. With the majority of our track girls back at school next year with two years' experience behind them we hope to be able to move up from second place which we have held for two successive years.
