BRUSSELS SCHOOL FIELD
A GREAT AFTERNOON'S
Last Friday afteenmin the initial
Field Day in connection with Brus-
sels Continuation school was held on
the Agricultural Palk end was a
great sum:erect and thoroughly enjoyed
by both oldand yormg.
The weather was delightful; the
mile track and grounds in good shape
and a program was carried through
in good style that was interesting,
arousing and well contested,
About 1.80 it pvocession of pupils
lined up at the school building and a
parade was made up Alexander street
to Thomas and then North on Trust -
beery street to the Park. Well up to
140 were in the march and with
scores of flags and maple leaf branches
made a very attractive turn -nut, full
of merriment and ready to cheer.
Omnpetent committees took charge
of a long program of sports and even
then the hours sped by too quickly
to gee all the events in before it was
time to disperse, There was no lack
of competitors, in various cases the
contestants were divided taking the
races in two contingents. Good
judgment was shown in giving each
department of the school a share in
the fun. The commodious grand stand
gave vantage groundfor the spectating
ibungtmeany took in the sport at closer

the program through, the latter
ruanipulating the megaphone like a
veteran, with a trifle of.hesitancy in
keeping track of the many names of
the winners.
Diffevent people commented on the
liberality with which Nature bad
bestowed solarge.ameasure, of native
beauty and this much -to -be -desired
quality was enhanced by the arrival
of a score or more of Wroxeter pupils.
If Principal Scott was not jaded
(as well as many of the contestants)
it was not bedause he had not multi-
tudinous duties to perform but an-
other year, with longer preparation,
committees could relieve him and
thereby lighten his labors.
Space will not permit further com-
ment but we subjoin the list of win-
ners stating that there is plenty of
material in Brussels school either
male or female, to provide a first
class program of athletics for future
occasions.
