Track means work. Yes! lots of hard
work. The track team practise faithfully
all year round and their efforts are rewarded
by the excellent results they obtain.
Eventually, I hope we may have an outstanding
track team so that it may become
a major sport of our school as are rugby
and basketball. Mr. Dyce has kept the
sport alive here and we appreciate his help
tremendously. The Boys' Club has been
aiding the team very well financially. Track
equipment is now in first-class condition.
Last summer, in the annual intercollegiate
city meet at the Exhibition, Jarvis
placed third. George Daniels was the outstanding
runner of the meet. He won both
the hop, step and jump and the 440, and
placed second in the lOO-yard dash. Ed.
Matthews won the broad jump and placed
second in the 100 yards. Both these boys
won the opportunity of going to Lake
Couchiching for two weeks' special training
in the summer.
The line-up for this year's meet looks
very promising. Before the final meet we
hope to have several races with other
schools, as we had on .March 8, 1939, with
Northern. Ed. :Matthews is back at school
this year to push our track team along.
With boys like Ed. Jardine, Ginsler, and
Shackleton on the team we expect to see
some excellen t results. Our annual crosscountry
run was won by that smooth, easy
runner, Shackleton. The small, short but

Badminton
Through the kind co-operation of our
principal and Mr. Oldfield badminton is
now widely played. The auditorium is
marked off for badminton and is used every
night of the week for that purpose.
Our badminton team have brought more
honours to Jat'vis this year than ever before.
Pete Johnson featured in three of our
wins in the Toronto and District meet. He
won the men's singles and with Chandler
was victorious in the men's doubles. Fete
and his partner, Audrey Upton, won the
mixed doubles.

Ski Club
This is a rather exclusive club for the
fortunate boys who have skis and are able
to attend meets.
The intercollegiate meet was held at
Caledon this year. In the downhill we had
Breithaupt, Fete and Bill Burgess, and
Dave Gordon. In the slalom, Breithaupt,
Bob Moore, Bill Burgess and Dave Gordon
turned in good efforts. Dave Gordon was
our only entry for the cross-country.
Here's hoping that in the near future the
girls and boys of Jarvis will combine to
give us an outstanding club.
