SWIMMING Our policy has alwaybseen to devote the 4th Term to Water Polo and Lifesaving. The Water Polo Team has been more active and enjoyed some excellent sport. At a tournament at Maritzburg College we beat Estcourt7-1 and drew with both Hilton and Michaelhouse 2-2 and lost to College 2-4. Two weeks after this tournament, playing at home in the rain, we drew with College 3-3 and beat Empangeni 3-1. This proves that the standard has improved greatly and I am pleased with the interest Mr. Mossom has shown in the game. On Sunday,6th November, we had the examiners of the South African Lifesaving Society up here for the day to test our boys tor the different awards. Althogether 59 awards were taken which were made up as follows: Silver Cross: 4 Silver Medallion: 3 Instructor's Certificate: 6 Scholar's Instructor: 1 Bronze Cross 7 Bronze Medallion 23 Intermediate Star 15 J.W.S. ^ ^ ATHLETICS Cross-Country Once more the school competed with distinction in the Natal Senior CrossCountry I^eague.
