Ilalfway through the meal, a helicopter made a few low runs in over the campus, but first attempts to land were thwarted by a mob of little children who were supposed to be at home. However the whirlybird finally landed and the Founder, the Rev. William Arthur Johnson, hobbled out to greet the crowd. The founder was actually D'Arcy Martin, the Head Prefect, who had played the same role in H1865 and All That . His grey beard was a phony but his haggard look was real - you can't help to plan a Cen- tennial weekend and sleep too! After a hearty meal, the visitors were well fortified for the pro- ceedings of the afternoon. First Mr. Arnold Smith planted the first Cen- tennial tree near the Chapel. Then people started drifting to the school buildings. However, most stopped to see the excellent gym demonstration on the campus and to give their legs a brief rest for the first time that day. In the classroom block were housed the many displays put on by Clubs and various classes. Every Club, from the Stamp Club to the Political Science Club, had exhibits. Of particular interest were the De- bating Club, which proudly displayed its two new reading lecterns and Speaker's cabinet, and the Model Train Club which gave live demonstra- tions Cof a working model trainl on a section of track, the Chess Club whose members displayed many clever ways of extricating yourself from a tricky 'mate' situation, while the Stage Make-up Crew trans- formed a few willing victims into strange and fanciful characters. Two clubs, the Billiards Club and the Pat Moss Club, were not represented in Rooms B and C. The Pat Moss Club had an exhibit of slides and photographs in Room M that gave an excellent idea of the workings and layout of the Trinity Camp. The Billiards Room naturally attracted many of the old sharks of past years for a title bout. Mean- while many real experiments were being performed in the Physics and Chemistry Labs where the guests learnt once and for all how far science had left them behind. Displays of Geography, History and Air Cadet Studies were also in various classrooms, and the Gym was filled by ex- hibits of art by boys in the School and by some famous Old Boys. By 4 o'clock, tea was being served in Osler Hall, delightfully accom- panied by the Concert Band who were playing in the gallery. Under the wand of Maestro Prower, the musicians puffed through various numbers forfa full hour in the longest endurance test the Concert Band has faced so ar. After this, the guests had a couple of hours to compose themselves before the evening's festivities began. Unfortunately, all of our re- porters were turned away at the door, thus making reportage of the evening's activities for the adults impossible! However for all T.C.S. boys, their girls, and other young people Cas the programme put itl there was a concert by the Travellers in Osler Hall. The performance of this well known and well travelled group of Canadian folk artists that had recently made a tour of Russia was a roaring success. Playing for four hundred wildly enthusiastic teenagers, the Travellers' skill lay in their ability to capture the attention and interest of their audience. They sang everything from strident national ballads to humorous take offs such as the one on the C.B.C. newscast, and included songs from other nations and cultures as well as having a few 'sing-alongs'. The Travellers' music was delightful to hear and irresistibly invit-
