Athletic Meet
In the Athletic Meet last May, 225
boys competed in four events max
ing nine hundred entries in the
Meet. Each boy received points for
his best performance in each event,
this meant tremendous, amount Of
work as you who assisted in carrying
off the Meet last year we'll know. The
Meet required fifty Officials. There
was no individual prize, each boy
worked for the honor of his school.
Only three boys of the total school
enrolment eligible to compete failed
to do so.
The VIM. Moore boys made the
highest individual score thereby win
ming the be tiful Trophy presented
by the Elks lodge. This Trophy was
won by the Richholt boys last year
and becomes the property Of the
school winning it three times in sue
cession.
Camps
Eighty boys attended our Camps
and Camp Outings. Two camps were
held at Lake Isabel where Rotarians
were good enough to drive the boys,
thereby cutting their camp expenses
in half. The canoes loaned by George
Will, Burlea Ward and Mr.. Warren
of Dawson, contributed in very
large way to the enjoyment of the
Campers. The Camp program is one
of instruction, and is self disciplin-
airy. The boys are divided into Or
gained tribes. These tribes com
pete in Athletics, Baseball, Swim
ming, Boating. Bird Observation,
Stars, Cooking and Serving and Tent
Inspection. From the 6:3O Setting up
exercises before the morning dip and
