The demands of the academic program and the relatively short school day limits the special events poosible at day schools. Much more is possible at boarding schools whicjh have afternoons and the early evening to work with. There was considerable diversity from school to school on these special events. One of the most common special event is inviting gest speakes to give talks to the children which are normally called lectures. This can easily be worked into the schedule of a day school. Other special events are more workable at boasrding schools. We noted form competitions in dramatics with presentations of skits. There were also debate competitions staged. Another populasr competitions were quiz type affairs. Some holidays called for special activities. Two populasr holidays were Guy Fawkes Day and Christmas.
