What changes since our last issue. We always miss some familiar faces after the MidfSummer holidays -the fellows in the Sixth who have finished their school career or have gone to the University, R.M.C., the Army, Navy or Air Force. In ordinary times we have grown accustomed to these changes, but now in war time, how regrettable they seem. Still we are proud that our boys are anxious to take their place in this time of the Empires need. We have endeavoured to give a list of our old boys who have volunteered in the various services. Of course, the list is not by any means completeg we shall he glad to have news of others. This year the school has carried on all the usual activities. Our enrollment has not suffered so far, but we do not know what the coming years may hold in store for us. Of one thing we can he sure, however, the old school will continue to function and engender that spirit of loyalty and service which has marked the boys of the school since its inception in 1906. So let us go forward hopefully and cheerfully despite what the future may have in store for us. If we can do this we shall at least have achieved something worthfwhile. G. H. S. mg.. Scliool Notes We tender our best wishes to J. C. Thorne who left at Christ' mas to join the Royal Canadian Air Force. He is now training at fdeleted by the censorj. K. McIntosh is also with the Air Force, having gone East in the early Spring. We also offer our congratulaf tions to Chris. Norman on passing the Naval Entrance Examinaf tions. Congratulations are due to D. S. Craig who is now a Lieutenf ant in the Royal Marinesg and to A. W. Everett who is doing well at R.M.C. Also to Creeryi in having passed the Naval examination and coming second in all Canada. This will be cheering news for his father, Commander W. B. Creery of the H.M.C.S. Eraser- Commander Creery himself took the examination from the School in 1914. The second generation is carrying on. The School is proud of the new showers and washingfrooms which were built last summer, where the old tool shed stood. The front of the Senior House is now dignified by new steps and the kitchen has been thoroughly remodelled. P3 Pk Sf if A slight epidemic of measles gave us some anxiety towards the end of the summer term. However, Matron and Dr. Watson averted the blitzkrieg. It is with sorrow that we have to report the death of Mrs. Barnacle. Cne by one, our elders are leaving usg but they are not forgotten. Mr. Howden captained, and Mr. Wenman, J. Sproule and A. Everett were members of, the Island XI which went to Hollywood last summer. They all did well in what was a most successful tourg Everett's wicketfkeeping was a particularly meritorious performance. Mr. Wenman has again been making runs, his best scores this year being 104 not out and 74 not out in league cricket and 77 for Vic' toria against Vancouver. Several of our music students took part in the Recital put on by Mr. R. Cox. Among various entertainments, Raymond Massey's performance of Lincoln of Illinois at the Royal Victoria Theatre was much enjoyed by some of our seniors. ...6- The Barnacle Memorial proposals have been shelved for the duration of the War. as Pk :if Pk Our sincere thanks are due to Mr. Robertson of Calgary for the gift of a Cup to be presented each year to the First junior in the Cross Country Race. For many and constant kindnesses and for unfailing interest in the welfare of the School, our thanks are once again due to Mr. Beaumont and to Mr. W. S. Cupples. Pk Pls Pk Pk We tender our best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Langton. Mrs. Langton, whose marriage took place on October 14, is the Headmastefs daughter. as :xc Pk :ie Sooner or later, he will go home: and so we have christened him Sooner . He is nothing much to look at and some might go so far as to say that he is not pure Aryanug but he's none the worse for that and he is a very true and faithful fellow. As we go to press, he is lying disconsolate in the yard and praying hard for September 11th. Probably he is the only person who is doing so, except some five score worried Mothers. He is the Dog who Adopted Us. Pk Pk PK Pk The motion pictures shown during Saturday evenings in our Lounge room were greatly enjoyed by the boarders. Even the day boys attended occasionally. Peace Hath Her victories Not Less Renowned Than War. On September 20th, N. T. Morant, who twelve years ago left the School to join the C.P.R. Press Bureau, met with an adventure sufficiently dangerous to call out those qualities of courage and loyf alty which are a primary part of what the School expects of her sons. Morant and Christian Haasler, a Lake Louise Guide, were on the trail of the Great Divide for the purpose of securing photographs. They were charged by a grizzly who had a cub in the ofhng. The guide was pulled down from the tree into which he was climbing and badly mauled. Morant, meanwhile, had climbed to safety, but, when he saw his companion's predicament, climbed down and at' tacked the bear with feet and hands. Haasler regained consciousness while Morant and the bear were stmggling and made his way to Hector to obtain assistance. When Morant lost consciousness, the bear made off. Some time later, Morant came to and, believing Haasler to be dead, struggled away. Rescuers eventually found him more than two miles from the scene of the attack. His head, body -7- one arm and one leg were badly lacerated and his journey to the spot where he was found had been one of agony and excruciating thirst. Morant was in hospital for more than a month and still walks with some difficulty. Haasler, too, is on the road to recovery. The local Press, at the time of the incident, was full of praise of Morant's bravery. Black and Red takes this opportunity of pay' ing its tribute. Cross Country Rim The Annual Cross Country Run took place on March 19th, and was won by T. D. Mercer in 31' SO . Mercer, who was second in 1939, ran a good race, but was extended by Young who has al' ways been a warm contender though never a winner. Timberlake ran third and also made a good showing. The first Junior home this year was Smith ii who was sixth and he becomes the first winner of the Robertson Challenge Cup which is awarded to the first Jun' ior to finish. Seventyfone boys participated and the race was run under ideal conditions. Speech Day Cn June 24th, before about sixty parents and friends, prizes for Academic Work were distributed by the Rev. F. Pike, Rector of St. Luke's Church, Cedar Hill. The School Prayer and the appointed Lesson were read and the Headmaster presented his Report, the thirtyffourth Headmaster's Report since the foundation of the School. Mr. Scarrett touched on all the activities of the School during the past year, paid a tribute to the assistance rendered to him by his Colleagues and addressed words of advice to the boys who were leaving and going out into a world so difficult as that of tofday. Mr. Pike spoke to the boys, pointing out to them the advantages which they had enjoyed here and warning them of their consequent responsibilities in the world at large. He then distributed the prizes as follows: SHELLhC. jones ii, B. Creery ii, A. Thomson ii. FCRM IV--A. Carle i, B. Scoby. FORM Vb-Cupples ii, Griffin, Graves. FORMVa-Black, Wade, Corry, Duke. FCRM VI-Cupplesi, Vernon, Batten. DRAWING-Harvey. SCRIPT URE-Graves. , The School Hymn, The School Song and the National Anthem were sung and tea was served in the School Dining Hall. D ag.. , Academic Results, June 1939 The results of the Matriculation Examinations last year were very creditable. . Sixteen Candidates sat the examinations and, of these, fourteen secured complete passes. This constitutes the highest number of passes of any year in the history of the School except one when the School Enrolment was considerably higher than it is at present Apostoli, who headed the list, had the excellent average of 84.8. The following candidates secured complete passes: P. A. Apostoli A. St. G. Soulsby A. W. Everett W. J. Sproule W. L. Gillespie J. D. Taylor W. P. Harland A. Thomson M. G. Hudec J. O. Thorne L. Musgrave W. D. Usher , C. J. Norman F. T. Winslow In addition to the successes of the Matriculation List, it must be recorded that D. C. Craig passed into the Royal Marines after a hard examination for which he worked with great courage and dilif gence, being the only candidate from Canada to secure admission. Craig has since been gazetted Second Lieutenant. A. W. Everett passed into the Royal Military College, Kingston, where he has subsequently distinguished himself at football and ice' hockey in addition to doing excellent work in the classfrooms. Since matriculating, J. O. Thorne has passed into the Royal Air Force and is now with his Squadron in Eastern Canada. Salvette J. E. Allin R. W. Jones J. H. Blyth G. D. Corry E. A. Burge J. E.

Wenman The School goes ong people come and people go: some leave their mark and others are as though they had never been. For the moment, for the months that must go by until the Might which is Right and the Right which has Might have refestablished themselves, the school has to carry on with a gap in its ranks which will leave us both the weaker and the stronger: weaker because he has gone and stronger because we must carry on the work which he has wrought among us. Mr. Weiiniaii came as a Master in 1925, he was very young and very inexperienced, but he fell into our ways and became, for the second time, one of us. It is not as a Master in the classfroom that we shall remember him primarily, though his academic work has pulled many a Grade Niner over the inequalities of equations and round the rugged corners of many a wierd triangle, it is of his work on the Cricket field and the Rugby field that we shall think of so.often in the terms to come. It does not fall to the lot of many schools to have on the Staff the finest Cricketer in the Dominion and one who is at the same time one of the best Halves that ever played the game: the man who has made over thirty centuries in League and InterfCity Cricket and who has captained for years the Rep. Teams both at Cricket and Rugby. Wheii we look back at the consistent record of University School Rugby, when we remember such finished Batsmen as Hamber and Weaver, we shall remember that if the material was good, the Masterfcraftsman was not wanting to fashion it. And so he has handed on to us, for the moment, to us who are older than he and not so fit, a torch which we shall strive to hold high till he comes back to us. Mr. Lionel Cox We have sustained another loss this term in the person of Mr. L. Cox, who has left us to pursue further studies at the University of British Columbia. He has been with us for four years and during that time has proved himself to be a congenial colleague and an excellent teacher. His work with the gym classes has been outstanding, being a good gymnast himself, he has provided inspiration for many boys to acquire a degree of excellence hitherto unknown in the School. We hope that Mr. Cox will be able to rejoin us next year. In the meantime we shall follow his efforts at the University with interf est. Sports Day The Annual Sports Day was held on Saturday, june lst. The weather was not quite so perfect as it usually is for this event and light showers fell during the first two races. However, the rain then cleared off and the remainder of the afternoon left nothing to be desired. The usual large crowd of Parents, Old Boys and friends of the School attended. This year there was a particularly large attendance of Cld Boys, so much so that Trio took a special Cld Boys Photo' graph. The races were keenly contested, though no new records were made on the day itself, Carle i's High jump under 14 Record having been made during the previous week. The Senior Championship and Wilsoii Miniature were won by Gibbs: the Intermediate Championship by Cockeram: and the junior Championship by Carle i. The Prizes were 'distributed by Dr. Boak who was introduced by the Headmaster. Dr. Boak gave the boys much good advice in a most inspiring speech and urged them to carry out into the difficult world of tofday the lessons which they had learned and the habits which they had that day put into practice. The results were as follows: 220 yards under 14-Carle i, Robertson, Dalziel iv. 220 yards under 16-Cockeram, Dalziel iii, Carr. 220 yards open-Patterson, Gibbs, Williams. 100 yards under 14-Carle i, Robertson, Dalziel iv. 100 yards under 16-Cockeram, Dalziel iii, Carr. 100 yards under 12-Carle ii, Powell ii, Creery ii. 100 yards open-Gibbs, Leslie, Cupples i. 75 yards under 11-Powell ii, Day, jones ii.

University School Hlncogsu Early in April the University School Incogs organized for the 1940 season. At a meeting held at the School the Headmaster was refelected President and Mr. W. S. Cupples, VicefPresident. Mr. W. R. G. Wenman was chosen to lead the team through another season as Captain, and was appointed as the Club's delegate to the Leagueg while Mr. A. Miller and Mr. H. Walker, were elected as Secretary and Treasurer respectively. Some discussion took place concerning the advisability of enter' ing league competition during the season as it was felt that owing to the war there would be great difficulty in finding a side every Saturday. It was eventually decided, however, to enter league com' petition as usual and make every effort to maintain a side through' out the season, and if worst came to the worst, matches would have to be defaulted. At the time of going to press three league matches and one match in the Knockout Competition have been played. Cf these the Knockout game against Seattle was won while of the League games those against the Five Cs' and Cowichan were won and that against The Albionsn lost. Gun Running on Sports Day There's a way of employing a pistol That is healthy and sane and is wise. And then there's a way of doing the thing That is apt to produce a surprise. And so, if you'd furnish the audience The maximum number of shocks, Turn up at the School upon Sports Day And watch the performance of Cox.

Rugby Football 19394940 'Wheii prospects for the 193940 season came to be considered it was quite obvious that an almost entirely new team would be called upon to represent the School. Only five members of last year's team were available when the term opened in September, and, through one reason or another, only three of these saw regular ser' vice throughout the season. Cf the 11 matches played by the lst XV only 4 successes could be counted as against 7 defeats so that from the point of view of matches won and lost the season was by no means a brilliant one. However, the side, though light and young, contained much promisf ing material and the experience gained was of the utmost value. Thorne, the School Captain, left at Christmas and this proved to be a very serious blow. His absence made all the difference not only in attack where his thrustful play was of such value, but also in defence where the others lacked the weight and speed to deal effectively with heavy and vigorous opposition. At the Annual Meeting J. C. Thorne was elected Captain and J. D. Mercer VicefCaptain. Colours for the season were awarded to: D. Mercer, H. A. H. North I. D. Patterson, C. D. Corry, M. Duke and E. Boak The official team for 193940 was: C. Thorne fCaptainj, D. Mercer fVicefCaptainj, J. D. Taylor, J. D. Patterson, H. A. H. North, A. M. Cupples, R. S. Vsfilliams, J. A. Gibbs, F. P. Wiiislowi, W.

Some very promising boys played in this group, Coghlin, Bailey, Carle i, and Hudec ii being particularly noticeable. The Hundredf.andfFive Pound Team played five matches. Cne game was won from Caklands and oneelost to the same school. Two matches were won from St. Michaels. The team thoroughly enjoyed a trip to the Fairbridge Farm School, where they won a very keen match and were very hospitably entertained. All games were played with spirit and enthusiasm and a considerable amount of young talent was revealed. Robertson proved an excellent captain and a really clever player. Griffin excelled among the forwards: Smith ii, Smithfiii and Dalziel iv were all very promising. First Fifteen Matcl1es SCHOOL vs. OAK BAY WANDERERS The School opened the season at home on October 28th. Their opponents being the Cak Bay Wanderers. The ground was very fast but little threefquarter work was seen, the Wanderers playing a kick and rush game throughout, and the School backs being too slow and easily smothered by bigger and faster men. During the first half the Wanderers scored three unconverted tries all as a result of first following up in the loose. The School never looked dangerous. After the change over the School did much better and but for a dropped pass or two in the centre would have scored. Thorne was by far the most dangerous School back but his opportunities were few. The Wanderers scored twice during the second half and goaled on both occasions: in each case the School backs failed to deal with fast men with the ball at their feet. The School pressed strongly at the finish but, though many scrums took place on the line, they were unable to force themselves over. North, who led the pack, was conspicuous throughout and was by far the best forward. Taylor also did 'well and Boak made a promising beginning. Among the backs Duke and Winsloxx' gave Thorne considerable support but the tackling was not good and there was a definite hesitancy in falling on the ball. Final score Wanderers 19. School O. lol SCHGOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE This, a very even game, was played at Brentwood and won by the home side by two tries Q6 points, to a goal Q5 pointsj. 'Throughout the first half Brentwood had a very definite ter' ritorial advantage due mainly to the superiority of their forwards, and to the timely kicking of their outside half. The home side opened the scoring when a forward broke away from a linefout in the School twentyffive and crossed at the flag for an unconverted try. The School then retaliated and Thorne, taking Duke's pass in midffield, burst through the centre and, running with great determination, scored a brilliant try near the posts. Duke added the extra points and the School led 5f3. Shortly before half time Brentwood added to their score when their left wing showed a good burst of speed to score at the flag. The try was not converted. After the restart the School forwards played with great spirit and fully held their own against a taller and heavier pack. The backs missed several good chances 'through faulty handling, and on one particular occasion an inside pass from Williams to Duke would have produced a try. There was no further score however, and the School lost a well contested game. Of the backs, Thorne was full of thrust, while Duke, if handf ling badly at times, ran with spirit and defended splendidly. The wings, MacKay' and Williams, were not impressive but Gibbs played pluckily at full back. The forwards played up splendidly in the second half. North was magnificent throughout and received 'good support from Taylor. . .-.O.i SCHQDL vs. VICTORIA CGLLEGE The School were successful at home in defeating Victoria Col- lege by four goals Q20 pointsj to two penalty goals and two tries Q12 pointsj. Throughout the first half play was very even. The College forwards had a decided advantage in the linefout and the loose but their outsides did not compare with the Schools and seldom looked dangerous. The College were the first to score however, a wild kick by a School defender in his own twentyffive going straight to hand and giving a College threefquarter an easy runfin. The try was not converted. Following this the School attacked and Duke. beating his man in the centre, gave to Thorne who ran strongly to score between the posts for Duke to add the extra points. A little later the School increased their lead when Duke dribbled a short distance following a College fumble and Thorne, gaining possession, ran through to score his second try. Duke converted from dead in front. just before half time the School were penalized for offside and the goal was kicked. . Upon the resumption the School attacked and after some nice handling among the backs Williams took Thorne's pass and after a long runcrossed at the flag and scored between the posts for Duke to convert. Almost immediately after this a similar movement in which Thorne and Patterson were implicated resulted in a second try by Williams who ran cleverly onthe left wing and scored be' tween the posts. Duke kicked his fourth goal and the School led ZW6. The College, stimulated by splendid play by their scrum half, then attacked vigorously and controlled the game until the end. They were, however, too weak behind the scrum to press their ad' vantage adequately and only succeeded in scoring one more unconf verted try. A penalty against the School was kicked successfully just before the end, and the School won 2Of12. Mercer, Thorne, Duke and Williams did well for the School behind the scrum, while among the forwards North, Taylor and Patterson were prominent. .Toi ' SCHOOL vs. GAK BAY HIGH SCHOQL The School had their outsides to thank for their victory on their own ground over Cak Bay High School by a goaland two tries Q11 pointsj to O. . In the first two minutes of play the School opened the scoring with a pretty try. After some nice handling and timely passing among the backs Thorne gave to Williams who ran well down the left wing and on being faced with the full back gave a perfect inside pass to send Thorne in to score between the posts. Duke failed to convert. The School continued to have a decided advantage but had no further success until just before half time when Thorne sent Cupples in on the right wing after all the backs had handled. Wil' liams failed to convert. After half time the High School played up well and had a fair share of the game. Their backs however, lacked cohesion and finish, and though unfortunate once or twice failed to profit by the chances given them by their forwards. The School backs muddled badly and the forwards became very ragged. The final score came when North, gaining possession of a loose ball, founght his way over for a well' earned try which Duke converted from a very difficult angle. North was once again the pick of the forwards, while Thorne was full of energy, both in attack and defence and easily the best of the outsides. 10.1 SCHOOL vs. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL Shawnigan were at home to the School XV and a most interf esting game was in prospect. Such promise was not realized however, and the game, while by no means spiritless, nevertheless lacked that keenness that characterizes matches between the Schools. After some very even play Shawnigan, largely through their forwards, drove the School into their own twentyffive and finally obtained an unconverted try on the left wing. The School then ralf lied and for the remainder of the half fully held their own but at no time threatened dangerously. The game livened up somewhat after the restart and Thorne, the School captain, was extremely prominent both in attack and def fence. He received fair support from Duke but the rest of the out' sides were not impressive. For Shawnigan Fleck was outstanding, his defensive kicking and his tackling being of a high order. Terri' torially the School had a considerable advantage and kept play in the Shawnigan half most of the time. They lacked finish, however, and although Thorne was always a real threat they met with no sucf cess. ,lust before the end a wild pass by Williams gave Fleck an opportunity and picking up the loose ball he ran in to score easily. The try was converted and Shawnigan won 8fO. The forwards held their own in the second half but were far below form. Gibbs, at full back, performed creditably for one so young and lacking in stature, but Thorne alone did himself justice, and with Fleck, the opposing captain, saved the game from mediof crity. io-.. SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE This game was played at home and the large crowd witnessed a splendid exhibition by both teams. The School won by the only try scored. Attacking strongly from the opening whistle the School for some time kept Brentwood on the defensive. Cupples, on the School left wing where most of the play took place, was well held by keen tackling while on the other wing the only real opportunity was lost when Thorne gave Williainis a shocking pass which was quite ex' cusably dropped. Brentwood then attacked but their outsides could not match the Schools in thrust and ground was gained by forward rushes, and by good kicking by their outside half. As the half wore on the School again threatened and Brentwood were fortunate to find their full back in such splendid form: his keen tackling and timely kicking were invaluable. There was no score at half time. Very shortly after the restart, following a scrum on the half' way line, Duke cut through the centre splendidly and Thorne. taking his perfectly judged pass, outpaced the opposition to score the only try of the game. Duke failed to convert from an easy angle. Both sides continued to play keen football. On one occasion Gibbs saved the School when he forced a Brentwood player into touch near the School line, and at the other end Cupples stumbled and fell after being partially stopped and with the line at his mercy had he kept his footing. Brentwood were awarded a free kick late in the game but though the position was a favourable one the at' tempt failed and the School won 3fO. The whole scrum performed well and fully held their heavier opponents. North, Corry, Patterson and Taylor were the most promf inent and Cockeram gave an encouraging display on his first ap' pearance. The backs also performed creditably and were superior to their opposite numbers, especially in attack. Both Cupples and Wil' liams showed improved defence, Thorne and Duke were enterprising in attack. Winslow' and Gibbs were quite sound, while Mercer was energetic to a degree and served his outsides splendidly. 10.1 SCHOOL vs. VICTORIA OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL REPS This game was played at Victoria High School as a practice for the Victoria and Oak Bay High School Representative team prior to their game against the Representative High School team from V anf couver. The School were greatly outweighed both forward and behind the scrum but from the start played with spirit and after a short period in their own twentyffive succeeded in opening the scoring. North gathered a loose ball and after selling the dummy passed to Cupples who took advantage of a badly placed defence and gave Creery a clear forty yard run for a try. Duke failed to convert. hlg. The combined High Schools soon put themselves on even terms when some rather indecisive tackling in the centre resulted in a try on the left wing. A little later a similar mistake in the School centre resulted in a second try, this time on the right wing. Neither try was converted. After half time the advantage was definitely with the High Schools' team but their forwards lacked intelligence, and their backs failing to show anything constructive, the School were able to pref vent any further score, the combined High Schools winning 6f3. The School forwards led by North and Patterson played hard throughout and gave a good display against a faster and heavier pack. Behind the scrum Mercer was very active while .Creery and Duke performed creditably, especially in defence. iol SCHOOL vs. CANADIAN SCOTTISH REGT. Gnd BATTQ The match was played at the School and the opposition, conf taining two Old Boys, J. T. Bryden and D. Boyd, was Captained by Colonel R. G. L. Parker who played a fine game at scrum half. Though considerably outweighed the School had the better of the game for some time but the insides, Duke and Cupples, played very badly and it was not until well on in the half that Leslie scored for the School on the left wing. Duke failed to convert. The Scottish then pressed and almost immediately drew level a try being scored on the left wing. This was followed by a nice movement on the right wing which resulted in a try close to the posts. Neither try was converted. The School fonvards controlled the scrums after half time but with the backs continuing to display shocking form the Scottish were able to hold their own. Towards the end some nice passing by Cup' ples and Willianis sent Cupples in between the posts but upon being tackled on the line he lost possession and a certain try was lost. No further score resulted and the School lost a game, which they should have won easily, by the odd try in three. The forwards worked hard and more than did their part and the School failure must be laid at the door of the backs who, with the exception of Mercer, were extremely disappointing. Ari. SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE This, the third meeting of the two schools this season was played at Brentwood and won by them 13fO. -30- For some time after the opening whistle play was very even but the Brentwood forwards were having somewhat the better of the linefouts and loose scrums and their backs were given more opporf tunities. The first try came after twenty minutes play, the Brent' wood left wing scoring at the flag. This try was due to faulty posif tioning by the School centres. It was not converted. Continuing to press Brentwood went further ahead when some good play by one of their centres resulted in a try on the right wing. The goal was kicked. The School then rallied and threatened serf iously. On one occasion North started an excellent movement which saw Duke go through the centre only to have his scoring pass to Cupples go astray. A little later Corry was quite unnecessarily caught in possession when a pass to Leslie would have produced a try, and at half time the School were eight points down. Throughout the half Duke had been splendid in defence and Gibbs also had per' formed most creditably. The School forwards fully held their own during the second half, but the backs were not happy and missed Thorne sadly. Hesif tant tackling by the School was responsible for the final try which was scored near the posts and converted. just before the end the School threw away a certain try when, following a long dribble in which Mercer took a leading part, the ball came out to Cupples. The Brentwood defence was badly placed but instead of continuing the movement to the uncovered wing an abortive attempt was made to drop a goal. The forwards played hard and Corry's tackling was splendid. The backs were far from impressive in attack and with the exception of Duke, Gibbs, and at times Leslie, most uncertain in defence. lol scHooL vs. J.B.A.A. The School visited MacDonald Park for this fixture which was won by the Bays by a goal and two tries Q11 points, to two tries Q6 pointsj. The School opened strongly controlling the set scrums and hold' ing their own in the linefout, but the backs did not impress and, with the exception of Duke lacked dash and resource. They were the first to score, however, Duke making ground and following his tackle near the line Williams picked up a loose ball and fell over between the posts. Duke failed to convert. The Bays then rallied and for the remainder of the half had their share of the game. They scored two tries, both directly attributable to bad tackling by the School. One try was converted and the School were five points down at half time. After the restart the School, particularly the forwards, played better football. The backs, however, were still uncertain in defence and in attack lacked thrust. Mercer, who played hard throughout, reduced the Schools deficit when he dodged through his own for' wards after a scrum near the Bays line and scored a try which Duke failed to improve. A little later Mercer got clear away but was too slow to reach the line himself and the 'chance was lost. just on time the Bays scored a converted try and won 11'6 after display' ing robust and aggressive methods. .-.0... SCHQQL vs. VANCOUVER QLD BQYS Under perfect weather and ground conditions the School defeated the Vancouver Qld Boys on the University of British Columbia's grounds by two goals, a penalty goal, and two tries Q19 points, to a goal Q5 pointsj. The Qld Boys were one short at the start but for some time play was' very even. The School opened the scoring however through Corry who dribbled over the Qld Boys' line following a loose scrum. Duke goaled. A little later the School went further ahead when Vxfinslow, going around the blind side, was unaccountably not tack' led, and upon reaching the full back he gave to Mercer who was in support and who scored easily. Duke again added the extra points. The Qld Boys then had their turn and only a good tackle by Qorry saved a try when Leggat was in the clear. A little later, however, good work by Allen, the Mercer brothers and Leggat resulted in a try by the last mentioned which Teagle turned into a goal. just be' fore half time the Qld Boys scrum half, K. Featherstone, had the misfortune to fall awkwardly breaking his collar bone. A substitute was procured and the Qld Boys began the second half at full strength. The School increased their lead shortly after the restart when Qupples, following up fast, gathered cleanly when the ball eluded the Qld Boys' full back, and scored near the posts. Duke failed to convert, but a little later had better luck with a penalty given against the Qld Boys for feet up in the scrum. Mercer, who played well throught, all but added to the Schools total when he sneaked over from a set scrum near the line, but he was held up and no try resulted. The Qld Boys looked dangerous several times and on one occaf sion should certainly have scored when K. Mercer made a good opening for Hicks, who chose to pass inside to one much less favf ourably placed than himself, and the chance was lost. just on time bad marking by the Qld Boys enabled Winslow to go around the blind side again to make an opening for Williams who scored what proved to be the final try. Duke failed to convert and the School won deservedly 195. ' The Old Boys were a strong team, particularly behind the scrum, but they never looked happy and used their chances badly. They had far more of the game than the score would indicate, how' ever, and apart from the regrettable accident to Featherstone, the game was an unqualified success. The following represented the Old Boys: R. K. Mercer K. Featherstone W. J. S. Sproule W. S. Leggat, P. K. Allen, A. W. Mercer, E. E. Teagle, A. H. Hicks A. Galloway, C. Connolly, E. S. Ditmars A. Pollock, R. E. Cook, E. P. Harland, W. O'Neil. CHARACTERS OF THE FIRST FIFTEEN THORNE QCaptainj. A thrustful centre with weight, speed and determina' tion. A very weak kick but a good running tackle. A keen and en' thusiastic captain his loss, half way through the season, to a young and inexperienced team, was irreparable. MERCER fVicefCaptainj. Had a good season at the base of the scrum. Vv'hile his tackling is still definitely lacking in keenness he never hesif tates to go down on the ball when necessary, and his defensive kicking has improved. Unselfish in attack, does his best to keep the game open, and is becoming increasingly dangerous himself especially near the op' ponent's line. TAYLOR. An excellent back row forward who always gave of his best. Persistent in attack but shows more in defence where his tackling and willingness to fall on the ball were invaluable. PATTERSON. A hard working forward, Followed up well and was very prominent in the loose. A very keen and spirited player. CUPPLES. Played both as a wing and as a centre. Considerably improved all round. While his kicking is quite good, his tackling is as yet too hesitant, a serious fault, especially in a centre. He has football in him but at present lacks experience and the confidence that comes with it. DUKE lCentre Three-quarterj. An extremely promising player. Possesses good hands, a useful kick, is unselfish, and has an eye for an opening. His tackling is very good and he has fulfilled the promise shown last year in his place kicking. Keen and enthusiastic to a degree, he lacks only a little more weight .and a year's experience. VVINSLOVV fOutside Halfj. Too slow off the mark for this position, this combined with his lack of weight rather limiting his effectiveness in attack. However, he possessed excellent hands, his passing was good and he always played intelligently. In defence he seemed to tire easily, and lacked the weight and speed to cope with larger men consistently. WILLIAMS QWing Threefquarterj. A useful player who came on consider- ably. In attack he did some clever things but he is excitable and tends to hold on too long, too often going down with the ball. In defence his ability to kick with either foot stood him in good stead, but his tackling, though improved, still lacked decision. -23f- f GIBBS ffull Backl. Filled this difficult 'position with distinction and showed commendable steadiness under pressure. His real position, how' ever, is in the centre where his thrust and general attacking ability may be well used. A footballer of the greatest promise. ALBERT. A much improved front rank man who excelled in the tight and in the line-out. His kicking and tackling were weak. NORTH. Despite' his lack of weight an extrem,ely effective hooker . Ex' cellent in the loose and the linefout. His passing was well judged, his backing up timely, and he always did his best to keep the game open. Keen and determined to a degree he played vigorous and intelligent football and his leadership of th pack was deserving of the highest praise. CORRY. New to thc game but made great strides and at the end of the season was one of the best of the pack. His tackling was keen and sure, his work in the linefout intelligent, and his general attitude and spirit most praiseworthy. BOAK. A back row forward who played the game intelligently. Excellent in the loose with the ball at his feet and did his best to keep the game open. Possessed a good sense of position and backed up well. Very fair in defence. TWEEDY. Not brilliant but an honest trier in every phase of forward play 'and a greatly improved footballer. Rather slow in the loose and weak in defence but a hard and effective worker in the tight and in the linefout. COCKERAM. A new forward who developed fast. He has courage and intelligence and should be very good next year. Tennis The Annual Tennis Tournament Finals were held late in the term, the whole School attending. The Singles Championship was won by Duke who defeated Mackay 3f6, 6f'l, 6fO. Both boys were content to play from the base line and while some fair driving was seen it was definitely safety first tennis. There was little to choose between the finalists, but Duke outlasted Mackay, appearing to be in better condition following the Doubles match which preceded the Singles Final. 'The Doubles Final saw Young and Cupples facing Mackay and Duke. The match went to three sets but Mackay and Duke combined better than their opponents, and always appearing to have more in reserve, won lfl, 4f6, 612. -2 4-- ff 5.-E- . .

Boak The Annual Inspection of the Corps took place on May Sth at 2.30 p.m. The weather was perfect. The strength of the Corps on parade was '72 all ranks. By kind permission of Colonel Sargent, the Pipe Band of the lst Battalion Canadian Scottish, played during the inspection, which was a considerable assistance to us and for which we were all very grateful. H -26- The inspection started punctually at 2.30 p.m. This year we had the pleasure of receiving Brig. Gen. Stockwell. G.O.C..M.D.II., who was attended by Capt D. Vvforthington, GSO. iii Cadets. and Capt johnson, District Signal Officer. The G. O. C. took the salute at the reviewing point after that he inspected the Corps and then the Corps marched past and reformed for the final part of the cerf emonial The Corps was then divided up into platoons for the purpose of drill under Junior officers and N.C.O.'s and during this part of the drill the Signal Section and lst Aid were examined. After this the Corps then carried out another aspect of drill, namely the new field drill, under Cadet Capt. Taylor, showing a Company deploying in extended order whilst under enemy fire. This year the drill has been changed to meet present conditions of train' ing, and in consequence more stress has been laid on the efficiency command of all minor ranks, a point which is most essential in mod' ern warfare. No. 1 Platoon won the Platoon Cup. On completion of the drill the Corps went in to the 2nd part of the Inspection, Pt. and Gymnastic display under Mr. L. Cox. At the conclusion of this the Corps formed a hollow square preparatory to an address from the G.0.C. In his speech the G.O.C. complimented the Corps on their very smart appearance and very efficient drill. He reminded the cadets of their future responsibility and their duty to the Empire in the present crisis. He also stressed the point of the value of their present training in the Corps which would be, without doubt, a great asset to them when they left school. All ranks must be congratulated on the results of the Inspection and more particularly on the work done throughout the training season. It has meant a good deal of extra hard work on the part of all ranks, which has been undertaken with that usual spirit of loyalty and cofoperation that has always been the keynote of the success of the Corps. In 193869 training season we won the Provincial Cup again for the second consecutive time with a score of 925 out of 1000. Up to the time of going to press we have not heard any official report of the inspection but we hope we have done well enough to retain the Cup for the 3rd year in which case it will be held by us per' manently as we shall then have won it three years in succession. In conclusion we would like to place on record the assistance which has been afforded to us by the authorities at M.D.II, without which support we should have encountered many difficulties that we would have found very hard to solve. -27.. EGXEN J' 1 Boxing The finals of the Boxing Competition were held in the Gym' ntisium on Marcli Nth, :it S nm. The officials to whom we are indehted for their very efficient services. were as follows: Referee. P. F. Howden: judges, S. Pott, A. McKinnon, Commander Kingston. RCN. Announcer. H. H. Ivlzissy: Timelteeper, A. ul. Locock. All houts were keenly contested and produced some good hort- ing. Over 190 parents and friends witnessed the finals. At the conclusion refreshments were xived in the School dining room. The following are the results: DUST XYEIGHTS, Tiilhot vs, Powell.fTalhot. though lighter than his opponent. gave Li very good and plucliy exhihition and with zi little more experience. should do hetter.

His boxing was exceedingly good in every way. Dalziel fought well but lacked the knowledge of ring craft that his opponent had. It was a well fought bout. MIDDLES. Taylor vs. Cockeraiiif Both boys must be congratulated on their display in the ring. Taylor received the verdict mainly through more forcing tactics. The loser Iought well but must learn to attack more. WELTER. McGinipsy vs. CupplesfeMcGimpsy gained the decision by quick forcing tactics. Cupples fought well but found Himself too much on the defensive and consequently found little opportunity to attack. A no decision exhibition between Vfinslow and Boak completed the finals. SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP.-fThis bout was won by North, who, in spite of having height and weight against him, showed considerable skill in avoiding his opponent and at the same time taking every opportunity to score points. Murphy boxed well but he .should do better when he learns to co'ordinate his boxing ability. Gymnastics The gymnastics in the School this year were of a very high calibre. The main events, in this skilled sport, in which the boys par' ticipated, were the usual School competition and the Cadet Inspection. The Gym Competition was held on Monday afternoon, March 18th, at 4 o'clock p.m. There were twelve boys competing for the School Championship. Each competitor did two compulsory and one voluntary exercise on each piece of apparatus, viz. the high bar, the box horse and spring board, and the fixed parallel bars. For the second consecutive year J. E. Boak won the champion' ship and Croft Challenge Cup, emblematic of the best gymnast for the year. He received 94 out of a possible 120 points. His exercises, particularly on the high bar where his work showed a fair degree of difficulty, were neatly and well executed. Duke, a beginner at this sport, who was ith in the Gym Eight, showed much latent ability. Mr. A. McKinnon of the Y.M.C.A. very kindly and ably acted as judge. The Gym Eight and marks obtained out of 120 are as folf lows: AI. E. Boak 94g E. P. Winslow 85, J. A. Gibbs 785g M. A. Albert 765g M. Duke 755g A. Moilliet 72g J. D. Taylor 70 and H. A. H. North 65. On Friday, May 3rd, 18 boys gave a very fine Gym show at the conclusion of the Cadet Inspection. Team exercises were perf formed on the box horse and the parallel bars. Three clever tableaux were also done during the display. Colours for having been on the Gym Eight for two years were awarded to Gibbs and Winslow. , 'Ie 1 Swimming and Diving The Annual School Swimming and Diving Championships took place in the School tank on june 10th, at 4 o'clock p.m. The races were well contested and resulted in some exceptionally close finishes and good times heing made. -E. J. Laffin, for these cond consecutive year, won the School Freestyle championship, He improved his time of last year by one and fourffifths seconds, swimming the 60 yeards in thirtyffive and threeffifths seconds. XV. R. Batten won the open hackstroke, 40 yards, in thirtyfone and threeffifths seconds, while M. M. Duke won the 40 yard hreastfstroke in thirtyfthree seconds. The diving this year, which was not so good as in previous years, was won hy bl. D. Taylor in a close competition with E. Boak. Mr. A. McKinnon. of the Victoria Y.lx4.C.A., very eiliciently judged the diving and acted as starter and timer of all swimming races.

Cacia 1940 At the Annual Cricket Meeting held late in April, J. D. Mercer was chosen to captain the team and AfM. Cupples to assist him as ViceffCaptain. Of the seven matches played by the 1st XI one was won, five lost and one was drawn. In addition to the above, fixtures were arrranged with H.M.S. Caradoc, The Royal Canadian Navy, The Royal Canadian Air Force, and the Garrison. Unfortunately all these games, for one reason or another had to be cancelled. This was a great disappointment as these matches promised to be more than usually interesting. The batting of the side was far too passive but several boys, particularly Twiss and to a lesser degree Gibbs, have decided possif bilities. The out cricket was rather better. Willianis and Young led the attack, the former taking 18 wickets for 149 runs, and the latter 15 for 148. Cupples and Moilliet also bowled with success. Mercer kept wicket quite well and the fielding was always good and at times excellent. No colours were awarded for 1940, and the team was as follows: J. D. Mercer fCaptainJ, A. D. Cupples fVicefCaptainJ, J. B. Young, R. S. Williams, XV. D. Mackay, J. A. Twiss, J. E. Boak, G. R. Leslie, J. A. Gibbs, A. Moilliet and H. J. Wade. The Clayton Cup was won this year by Youngs team, and the prize bat given every year by the University School Incogs to the best cricketer in the School was also won by Young, whose keenness and enthusiasm, well sustained since he entered the School as a Jun' ior, have thus, in a measure, been recognized. The Znd XI won their only match against Brentwood College and divided games with Shawnigan Lake School. Scratch teams were also made up to play Brentwood College Colts , Stf Michael's School, Glen Lyon School and Shawnigan Lake School. Among the more promising boys noticed were Robertson, Slocombe, Smith ii and Smith iii. SCHOOL vs. MR. R. WENMAN'S TEAM The season opened on April 27th, Mr. Wenman captaining a side made up of six Incogsl' and five members of the 2nd XI. The match was played in a drizzle but was quite interesting and even, the School being beaten in the last over. The School bowling with Williams absent hurt was not impressive, but the batting was by no means without merit. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Young ..,..,,..... Boak .,......... Twiss ..,....,.

After the de' parture of Young and Boak, cricket strokes were conspicuous by their absence and this against indifferent bowling, ultimately a thorf oughly undeserved draw was obtained.

MO-. SCHOGL vs. SHAVJNIGAN LAKE SCHOGL The School batting against some weak Shawnigan bowling was far too passive. Young and Boak stayed for an hour but later some very loose bowling was greatly flattered and the School did not def serve more than 5 6. The Shawnigan batting was far more enterprisf ing and the School total was passed for the loss of 3 wickets. Young stuck to his job well with the ball and the fielding was good.

Both sides batted miserably, particularly Brentwood who had to face a much'weaker attack than did the School. Vv'illiams, with four wickets for four runs, and Young with three for eight, were flattered be' yond conception. The Gillespie brothers bowled well for Brentwood. Boak ...,.......... Young ..........

He has a fair defence, however, and uses his reach well in playing forward. When he can refrain from hitting across the hall on his leg stump he will make runs. Kept wicket with distinct success and came on well in this department of thc game. OUPPLES fVice-Captainl.-He has come on well with the ball and has bowled his slows with some success. Little improved as a batsman as his bat is seldom straight. His ground fielding is neat and quick and his hands are safe. YOUNG.-A patient opening batsman with a good defence and an inf creased confidence in attack. Came on well with the ball where he shows himself to be an honest trier, who loved work. Keen and alert in the field. Possesses no small knowledge of the game and was a rare enthusiast. WILLIAMS.-Has definite all round ability. With the bat he is too lethf argic and his attacking strokes are all too sparingly used.' Achieved success with the ball but is still not hostile enough. A good field with a fast and accurate throw. TWISS.-Extremely promising all round. The best batsman in the side, he drives well and hits the short ball on both sides of the wicket. With more hostility 'and determination will develop into a good bowler. As a fielder he is rather slow on the ground, but possesses good hands. MACKAY.-Somewhat improved with the bat and though his attacking -strokes lack confidence, his defence is quite good. Extremely good in the field. BOAK.-Did not make many runs but was a greatly improved batsman. Possesses a fair defence and can drive the over pitched. Very weak . on the off side behind point, and very prone to edge the ball into the slips. Greatly improved in the field. GIBBS.-A very promising all rounder. With the bat he has the elements of forward play, but he plays back badly. Strong on the leg side but makes the mistake of hitting across the ball on the leg stump. Alert and active in the field and a safe catch. LESLIE.-Although his back play is very weak he has some nice free shots on the off and when his back and leg sides play have improved he should make many runs. Quite good in the field. MOILLIET.-Hits the ball hard on the leg side but his bat is never straight when driving and his back play is poor. Has had some success with the ball. Rather slow in the field. WADE.-He has made a promising beginning with the bat and hits the ball hard. He should make runs when he has learned some defence. Quite good in the field. QR. 31. .
