ATHLETICS NOTES

Despite the hard daily trek from running-track to class-room, Mrs. Melzer, Miss Michcd, a·nd the team survived the season of strenuous training, and at the Jnterschool Athletics Carnival held at the Cr icket Ground on August lsi, we proudly • carried heme the Pennant and Assc- cic·tion ·Cup, and the Senior Cup. We congratulate Sommerville House who won the Junior Cup, narrow:y defeating our Junior Team. The Senior running and ball games were strong, and even though the Junior standard ol running wc:s not a·s satisfactory as last year's, their ball games were steady. Blues were awarded to Lynette Lewis, Brenda Cox, Christine Gurney, and Helen Simpson. The · interform athletics, held on the boys' lower oval, were won narrowly by IVG from VA, the out- come not being known until after the novelty race.
