The highlight of the dzy was the demonstration given by Alec Bulley, who also presented the trophies, and members of his Swimming Clinic. Mr. Bulley gave a commentary and explanation, while Don Watson, "Buster" McLauchlan, "Titch" McLauchlan, "Pixie" Hall, Eve Holmes and other champions executed all his instructions. After the Gala a large crowd braved the rain to see Mr. Bulley coach his swimmers. He knows his "job" as he was also swimming coach to the Springbok swimmers at Helsinki and Mel bourne, and the last two Empire Games. To Mr. and Mrs. Bulley, Mr. Cecil Bradley and the swimmers who came up here we say "thank you very much". The Inter-Schools Gala was held in Durban on Friday 8th November. Kearnsey came third after D.H.S. and Glenwood, but ahead of Northlands,Tech., Mansfield and others. Spargo,whoswam a very fast 100 yards and was only inches behind MacKenzie who broke his own record of 54 sees, by .1 sec., and V. Lund who won the Under IS Breaststroke by yards, deserve special mention. 317
