The visit of their Gracious Majesties, the King and Queen, must be noted, the boys availed themselves of every opporf tunity land there were manyj of seeing them. The Royal Visit ought to be a source of strength and inspiration for the future. Cnce again the usual round of activities have been not only completed but recorded in the Black and Red, on the Honor Boards and on Cups and Shields. It is pleasing to record increased numbers and it is a source of satisfaction that so many of the boys who joined us this year have so effectually caught the old school spirit. Many have achieved what for them a year ago would have been impossible. Again with sadness we have to record the names of those who have passed beyond the veil. One of our Founders and former Headf master, Mr. J. C. Barnacle died at Barbados last March. Although so far away, his interest in our doings was always an inspiration and we feel his loss keenly. It is our desire to erect a memorial to his life and work, further details of which are given elsewhere. P. E. Dawson who attended this school from 1917f192O passed away at Shanghai, China, last January. J. H. Lockhart, who attended the school from 19264929 died at Winnipeg in July, 1938. Trevor Williams who attended the school from 191Of12 died at Calgary in April, 1939. B. B. Ward who attended the school from 1927f1929 died at Calgary in August, 1938. A My concluding word is one of appreciation of the help and consideration which has always been so ungrudgingly given by Mas' ters, Prefects, Old Boys and Boys on each and every occasion it was needed.
