THE KENT PLACE HOCKEY GAME
This year we were unusually anxious to make a good showing in our annual hockey game against Kent Place to redeem last year’s defeat. The day was an extremely cold one and rather cloudy. The Kent Place team arrived at our field, and both teams prac­
ticed awhile before the game. In spite of our noble resolutions Kent Place scored several goals soon after the beginning. The second period still showed their stick work and team work to be superior to ours, and, although we came within striking distance of their goal
more than once, we failed to score. When the final whisle blew, the score was 7-0, a slight improvement on last year’s, but one to be bettered, we hope, by next year’s varsity.
FIELD DAY—1933
The highlight of our school year. Field Day, took place on a broiling hot day. We gathered on our prized new hockey field to witness the long-anticipated athletic events
in which the honors were carried oft by Judy Hamblet. Judy’s astounding ^record of 4 feet, 11 inches, in the high jump won for her the much-coveted cup which was pre­
sented at the end of the exciting morning to the accompaniment of loud applause.
Jane Braitmayer, our capable Athletic Association president, and intrepid broad jumper, received much applause from the spectators for her feats. Norma Anderson, one of our younger members, was runner-up for the award. We are looking forward to Norma’s success in future years.
Peggy Smith, a sixth grader, triumphantly received the elementary award, an attrac­ tive medal. A novel and very mirth-provoking feature which closed the day was an interclass croquet game played with human wickets.

THE HORSE SHOW
June second, the day appointed for the annual horse show, proved to be one of the sunniest but one of the hottest days of the spring. Despite the high temperature, a good
number of spectators ventured forth to witness eagerly one of the greatest occasions of the season.
The first class of riders entered among shouts and cries. Then there was a moment’s
silence as all eyes focused on the center of the ring where the judges stood making their
decision. Ridgeley Vermilye was awarded first prize. Th winners of the second and third
classes, Elizabeth Smith and Louise Fargo, were presented with their ribbons respectively.
Then came the main event of the day, the championship. In an atmosphere of great
suspense, Denise Underwood was finally awarded the silver cup presented by the Plainfield Riding Club.
The day had proved most successful, even for the man selling "Good Humors.” J. Y. L.,’35.
