ATHLETICS This year the Inter-school Athletics were held on Saturday, August_4th, earlier than usual, and training was well under way by the second term. Congratulations to Somerville House, who were the winners of the Stephens and Junior Cups, and to our Senior Team who provided a great deal of suspense and excitement to snatch the Senior Cup from Somerville's hands by the narrow margin of one point. The success of the Senior Team was due to their out- standing team-work and co-operation, but this was lacking in the Junior Team. It is hoped that next year the Juniors will make use of the experience gained, and put forward a supreme team-effort to win back the Stephens and Junior Cups, and retain the Senior Cup. We congratulate Cynthia Cruikshank, who won the Junior Championship at the Inter-school and Inter-form Athletics; and also Nola Welsh, who is this year's winner of Mrs. Rorke's prize for the best performance in team-games and individual events. The Inter-form Athletic , held on the B.G.S. oval, lent to us by Mr. McLucas, to whom we express our thanks, resulted in a win for VI Form, with V Form as runners-up. We g-reatly appreciate the untiring effort made by Mrs. Rorke in coaching the teams, and thank Miss Marks who helped us during Mrs. Rorke's absence. -L. A. M., VI
