A Collegiate training is not made up wholly of intellectual d evelopment. Physical development is an important factor . A student must have physical exercise in order to carry on suc- cessfully a collegiate training. Because of the importance of physical development the Collingwood Collegiate has always fostered athletic activities and everyone has entered into the games with a determination to give their best for their school and to develop themselves jn no small degree.
In past years the Collingwood Collegiate Institute has established an enviable record in athletics throughout Simcoe and Grey counties. This year, although harassed by unfavorable conditions during the fall term, the C. C. I. still retained her record and also .added laurels to her long list of victories.
Field Day
The weatherman looked on with favoring eyes at our field day on September 25th. We are sure that he remarked about the rare ability of the competing students several times during the day.
Every number on the entire programme was keenly con- tested and the championships were not decided until the final event had been run off. However, when the dust settled on the track and night came creeping on, the secretaries assembled the records of the competitors and announced the following as cham- pions:
Senior Boys- Bert Hartle. Intermediate Boys-Ed. Fryer. Junior Boys-Joe Wright. Senior Girls-Jean McQueen. Intermediate Girls-Daisy Topp. Junio.r Girls-Stella McQueen.
The champions have reason to be proud of their recordA because by winning such a title they have distinguished them- selves as the possessors of no small degree of athletic ability.
