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, ‘chat’ 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.
