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. The Headmaster then gave a comprehensive report of all School activities for the year. He pointed out that while the increase in the number of boys was a great asset it presented a problem to adequately absorb so many new boys in any one year. He stressed the Schools policy of education being an internal matter-a matter of being something, not merely an external matter-a matter of doing and knowing things. 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. He told the boys that the discipline that -7..

Field was elected Captain and it was found that eleven of last years team were available to assist him. As the season progressed it was seen that although the team was undoubtedly strong forward, a very decided weakness existed behind the scrum. Teagle, last year's brilliant captain, was sadly missed and lack of cohesion and thrust in .attack was most obvious, while the defence was far from reliable. ' In all nine matches were played, four of which were won and five lost, but it was unfortunate that the weather prohibited all but two games after the New Year as under normal conditions the team is at its best in February. The best form was displayed in the two matches against the other private schools, a very strenuous game at Brentwood being won 11f3, and an equally bitter struggle against Shawnigan Lake lost in the closing minutes Sfll. - Colours for the season were awarded to W. Sproule, R. gl. Huff, F. W. Boate and F. H. S. Pott. The full team for 193667 was as followszefx. NV. Field, H. Maurer, D. H. Massy, R. C. lxlassy, F. H. S. Pott, F. VV. Boate, W. Sproule. R. J. Huff, P. XV. Jeanneret. C. G. Smith, J. D. Hunter, C. Thorne, A. XV. Everett, V. XV. Gagnon and R. F. Cook. In addition to the lst XV matches the Znd XV played once against Shawnigan Lake School losing badly, and the juniors enjoyed games with Brentwood and St. Michaels School. Some exceptionally fine talent was noticed among the juniors, Coe, Young ii, Jonesi and Escobar being outstanding, while Travis, O'Neil, Jones ii, Usher, North, Soulsby, Clarke and Cupples were also very promising. ,.9,.
