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.

Last year ye noble humour editors were overwhelmed when they received two jokes from the students. Imagine my surprise, my joy, my delight, delirium tor what have youj when I received llzrec jokes this year. This may be taken as a sign that Vaughan is stepping out-the depression has gone-PROSPERITY is here. But enough of idle chatter. Now, beloved public, we implore you to read this column, laugh heartily when you see the point of each joke, and if you do not se-e the point, re- member Life is one crazy thing after another, but love is two crazy things after each other. Seriously though, we hope you enjoy the jokes and if you should see your name mentioned, be not offendedg for I say unto ye: Hverily it is a sign of famefl We leave you in the hope that the reading of this column may give to you as much pleasure as the compiling of it gave to us.
