A Play Day is the coming together of two or more schools for the athletic activity Where competition is based on some arbitrarily chosen division and not on the school-against-school system. One school invites other schools within a nearby radius to send a definite number of girls to its home grounds. These girls are divided by lot into teams that take part in the various games. Teams adopt the names of colors and are known throughout the day as the reds, blues, yellows, etc. In this way there is an equal number from each school on every team.
