The old Back Drive is also a thing of the past: the surface worn by the boots of the legion heading towards The Mountain on Country Leave and grooved by the speedy descents of daring bicycle riders, is at rest. With the erection of the fence this ancient and precipitious entrance ceased to be, and fittingly enough, Godfrey Wenman, coaxing his Dodge between the posts just before the first strand of wire was put on, was the last to use it., We wish to record our thanks to Mr. H. T. Lethaby of the Victoria Cricket Club for his kind donation of a prize bat for the best allfround Junior Cricketer in the school, and also for his un' failing interest in cricket at University School and the very real stimulus given by the frequent visits of teams under his captaincy. Speech Day and Headmastefs Report In the presence of parents and friends, the thirtyffirst Speech Day and PrizefGiving of the School was held in the Gym on Sat' urday afternoon, june 19th. H. T. Ravenhill, Esq., made the pref sentation of Academic awards while speeches were given by R. H. B. Ker, representing the Governors, and the Headmaster. The proceedings were then opened with prayers by the Head' master and a reading of a special scripture passage by Field, Head' Prefect.

He paid tribute to the Old Boys and the assistance they had given the School., and reminded the boys who were leaving of the great responsibility which rested on their shoulders. He at' tributed the success of the School to the splendid spirit of cofoperaf tion between Masters, Prefects and Boys. Mr. R. H. B. Ker referred to the old days when the School was situated on Belcher Avenue, under the Rev. W. W. Bolton. He also referred to the high standard of efficiency of the School under the present Headmaster. In presenting the prizes, Mr. Ravenhill said he felt honored to be on the platform on Speech Day of a School which had such a tradif tion as University School.

School Notes At Xmas, a misfortune befell us when Mr. Howden decided to relinquish his post to take up a new sphere of endeavour in New Zealand. We have all missed him tremendously but we have hopes that he may be able to join us again before long. xmas , We extend a hearty welcome to Mr. J. K. Trecarten, BA., LLB., who joined us in january to take up the work relinquished by Mr. Howden. We are very grateful to Mr. Trecarten for his assistance in many fields of endeavour. Pk Pk Pls Pk Congratulations to Field who was unanimously elected Captain of Rugby this year and to jeanneret and Smith on their election as Captain and VicefCaptain respectively, of Cricket. wk Pk Pk PIC The complete accounts of Boxing and Cym competitions are pubf lished elsewhere. Both were enjoyable functions for the success of which Mr. Massy, Mr. McKinnon, and Mr. Cox deserve the highest praise. Pk Pk Pk Pk The new strip of ground which has been added to the playing' fields from McCrae Ave. is completed. Masters and boys Qto say nothing of the truckj under the Headmaster's supervision and with his assistance, have had a very real part in the accomplishment. We congratulate ourselves on its completion. :Is 214 Pk is Despite the prevailing epidemics of measles, chickenfpox and inf fluenza this winter, no boarder in the School succumbed to any of these ailments. This is due, in no small degree, to the untiring efforts of the Matron, seconded by the effectiveness of Chong and probably to the compulsory gargling parades. wk vs :ie wk Congratulations to Massy and Huff on their wellfrnerited ap' pointments as Prefects. :if as ac wk The School grounds are now completely enclosed by a fence of considerable effectiveness. Barbed wire was not spared in its conf struction and it is hoped that the days when horses appeared on the Cricket Pitch, ducks waddled across the Quad and unauthorized persons tested the mettle of their steeds upon the football field, are gone forever. -6-
