INTER-HOUSE ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
On Wednesday, August 1, Wynnum High and Intermediate School
held their annual Inter-House Sports. The day began in an abundance
of sunshine. The skies were cloudless and the weather could not have
been more perfect. Morrie Rich, holder of the Queensland resident Hop-
Step-and-Jump record, and one of Queensland’s Olympic hopes, gave the
pupils a demonstration of how a hop-step-and-jump looks when it is
done properly.
He gave his demonstration at the conclusion of the Hop-Step-and-
Jump Event in which a new Senior record was set by Selwyn Loynes, of
Griffith House. The distance now stands at 39ft. 10in., 2 inches better
than the former record.
Throughout the day, a total of sixteen records were broken, eight
by the boys, and eight by the girls. Also, two new events were intro
duced, the Senior mile, which was won by Ralph Railings of Wentworth
House, and the Senior boys’ 880 yards relay, which was won by the
Griffith team.
Of the eight records set in the girls’ events, seven were established
in the ball game events. The seven were made up of four Lilley teams,
two Wentworth teams and one Griffith team. The remaining record was
broken in the Minor 60 yards flat race by Lorraine Hillier of Wentworth.
Larraine also won the 75 yards Minor flat race, but not in record time.
In the boys’ races, both the Junior and Senior 440 yards records
were broken, the Senior by Peter Monks of Griffith, and the Junior by
P. Locke of Lilley. The new times are 62.6 secs, in the Junior and 55.8
secs, in the Senior.
M. Kelley of Wentworth House won the Minor 100 yards in record
time. His time of 11.8 was one second inside the previous record. No
records were broken in the High Jump event but in both the Senior and
Junior Shot Putt, new records were set. The Senior record is now 39ft.
5in., made by A. Klaikalietis of Lilley, and the Junior is 35ft. 7in. made
by R. Love, of Wentworth.
Altogether, the day proved very successful and enjoyable. When
the final points were announced, Wentworth had won with 320J points,
then came Lilley with 313 points and Griffith came third with a total of
258 i points.
The Senior champions were Peter Monks and Jill Patterson, the
Juniors were Peter Jocumsen and Marjorie Lee, and the Minors. M.
Kelley and Trevor Mischlewski tied for the boys and Lorraine Hillier
was the Minor girl champion.
