 After the thletie programme had | been finished. Boys Work Director George F. Hyde took the boys up to ! the assembly hall. where they were served with ice cream and the stand l ings were announced.
 With these games all the schools il l the city have had a sort of preiiminarE meet, and to those who have followed the different schools as their results were given out, some interesting facts 1 will be noted. II appears that no one ! school has a decided avanrage over any other school and in some eases | the smaller schools have shown even | better results for their groups than 1 some of the larger schools. By diTi6- | ing rnA hnTg into YTrifn~-1 -fe | 8 chance was given the smaller schools ! to excel in the younger group and | 1 has been exceedingly gratifying 10 note i that this has really been the case. As | things stand now il is almost imp0s- 1 sible to tell which school will win the | points on Saturday afternoon, and for l that very reason the boys from every | school ought to be right ID on the mark and ready 10 do their best for 1 the sake Of their school.
