To be of the most value, however. an activity should offer more than the aforementioned facts. lt must help develop right social attitudes, habits, and knowâ€" ledges. Anyone who has taken part in this popâ€" ular sport, knows of the many opportunities to make friends on the practice field, and even in competition. This fact is brought clearly to mind at the major relay meets where the athletes are seen visiting around on the field. They compare ideas and form friendships with students from other parts of the province or country. There is no opportunity to make a living in track and field activities, since they exist only as amateur sports. Participation in them. how- ever. must be in the form of recreation. From the knowledge standpoint there is much to “chalâ€" lenge the mind" in knowing records. styles of run- ning. pace judgement. and forms in field events. These things are open to both the competitor and the spectator. The first championship contests conducted in North America were held in 1876 by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). Since that time. several organizations have contributed to the develop- ment of the sport by sponsoring meets and formulating rules and policies. Track and field has held a major place in the sports program of the people of the world since the beginning of time. One reason for this is the fact that soon after a human baby learns to move. crawl, and walk, he takes an interest in running. Jumping soon gains his attention. Throwing. in turn. then begins to appeal. It follows. therefore. that since the events on the track and field program are fundamental move- ments they soon find their place in the lives of young people. p Track events. in high school, include sprints (with varying distances up to the 440). middle distances (880 and the mile run) and distance running (usually a two mile run). Distance. how- ever, covers anything from the two mile run to the marathon run of 26 miles 385 yards). Also included in the sprints is hurdling, both high and low. Relay racing by teams at various distances provides the greatest excitement. athletes The. field events cover the long jump, high jump. triple jump. and pole Ya ult. The weight. events include the discus. javelin, and shotpul. As you ran see. track and field sports can please people of every type from the short small-boned person to a tall. heavily-built person. ‘ SWIM MEET On April 21. the York Central Swim Meet was held at the Slater Olympia Pool in Vandorf. At the end of the meet. only one point separated the first and second place teams. A recount of the score gave these final standings for the York Central Championships.

For centuries sculptors and poets alike have honored the well-developed physiques of track and field development a disgrace. As a result, every youth sought diligently to develop a beautiful and well- proportioned body. In addition, each person wanted to excel in.\ speed, endurance. and courage. It was only natural, therefore, that these people should turn to track and field sports as the media through which these qualities could be developed. c:_1.l LIILUIJEJI, v v A n 1 v . s e . . y u v 1...-.__Wew , r The high development of track and field athletics in ancient Greece is now being par- alleled, and even surpassed in our present day and age.

Many critics are con- cerned about Canada's failing image as a hockey nation in international circles; others are, concerned about. juvenile hoc- key with its ill-timed and too frequent practices and accomp- anying pressures from parents and coaches during league games.
