Sports Day at your School
Annual Sports Day is an important
event in the life of every school or college. Sports in themselves are an
indispensable part of study. School or college life without sports would be
dull and dreary.
The Annual Sports Day of our
college/ school was held last week. It was held in the spacious school grounds.
The Deputy Commissioner was the chief guest.
A huge "shamiana" was
pitched on one side of the ground to accommodate guests. The whole play-ground
had been decora ted with flags, buntings and balloons a day earlier. The
separate sections for different events and track boundaries had been drawn with
white line.
The chief guest arrived in time.
He took the salute. The sportsmen and women and N.C.C. cadets and N.S.S
volunteers participated in the march past. Bal Krishan, the best athlete of the
school, led the march past.
The first event was a hundred
metre race. It drew a large number of participants. There were three heats.
Then started long and high jumps. Simultaneously there were other actions like
the Javelin and the Discus throw. The members of the staff who acted as judges
were seen moving to and fro along-with coaches and ex-sportsmen of the school.
The events which evoked the
greatest interest were the 400 meter race, bicycle race, 'chaff race and hurdle
race by girls. The spectators went into peels of laughter when they saw boys
running sack race. Some boys just fell down and could not move. The tug-of-war
between the science and arts faculty members was very interesting. The arts
side won the war.
In the events, a few new records
of the school were established. In two cases, the students improved upon their
own previous records. The last item the musical chairs race in which the guests
participated was very amusing.
The D.P.E. read out the
achievements of the school in sports during the year. The chief guest gave away
prizes to the winners. He highlighted the importance of sports in life and
hinted at India's dismal performance at the Olympics. He promised all help to
the school in the matter of sports. The Principal then thanked him and other
guests. The chief guest declared the sports meet closed and it was over.
