C. C. I. FIELD DAY H. Butler
The Collingwood ,collegiate Insti- tute held their 50th annual track and t1eld meet at the park ground late this :::;epLemller. After the first period in the morning sc.ilool was dismissed to the park. 'l'he girls were divided into teams consisting of about 10 or 11 girls with a fifth form girl as captain of each team. Each team sent one or two girls to each event depending on the event. These events included 50 and 75 ya1·d dashes, bicycle races, three legged races and basketball throws. 'l'nere were also team games including a good, rousing game of 'basketball and pyramid building, etc. Every girl did her best for her team and if ribbons were won she proudly presented them to her captain and these were promptly pinned onto her chest. The competi- tion was very keen and the winning team was only one point ahead of their closest riv·al when the ·meet came to a close. Isobel Hurst's ·team collected 59 points and so was declared the win- ning team for the school. This team included Isobel Hurst, Ruth Collins, Lorraine Cain, Shirley Brophy, Norma Beecroft, Ethel Cousins, Mai:jorie Dag- gett, Mildred Sawyers, Joey Peake, Shirley McLean and Betty Meek. A few individual events were held after the team events were finished but as it was getting late most of these were postponed. After a few pictures were taken, everyone trouped home to rest her weary bones and to prepare for school the next morning.
