Secondary Schools' Athletic Sports

The annual athletics sports of Nelson College, Nelson College for Girls, and Waimea College were held earlier this month. A number of records were broken at Waimea College, where the outstanding competitor was P. Ammundsen, who set new times in the intermediate 100, 220 and 440 yard events. The pix on this page are of the Waimea College sports.
