NVe are grateful to those Old Boys who were with us on Sports Day to help with the sports. The following acted as judges and timefkeepers: V. Ridgeway, F. G. Skillings, H. Harman, W. J. Peers, and H. NV. Walker. Congratulations to Batten, Thomson and MacBean, who have distinguished themselves at U. B. C. We shall look forward to seeing them again and hearing of their doings. Much anxiety has been felt for the health of Mr. Howden, who has been critically ill for some time past. We extend to him our sincere wishes for a speedy recovery, and trust that he will be back with us before long. In conjunction with St. Margaret's School, a dramatization of Michael was successfully produced on April 25, at St. Mar- garet's. Much latent ability was brought to life. The difficult role of Michael was entrusted to Vernon, who proved himself capable of filling the part with confidence and effectiveness. In the comedy Five Birds in a Cage, Braide, Kitson, and Collett distinguished themselves. The remaining members of the cast, Bailey, Cockeram and Morgan gave very effective support, as did also the girls of St. Margaret's. Founders' Day was kept as usual on Oct. 7th, The Head- master addressed the boys after Prayers and gave an outline history of the School and its founders. The boys then gave three rousing cheers for the Headmaster and the Old School. Armistice Day was remembered according to custom. School proceeded as usual until 10:45, after which the boys and masters assembled in the front hall. The Headmaster opened the proceedings with prayers, after which he briefly addressed the boys on the signif ficance of Armistice. He pointed out that in the present conflict the Old Boys were again in the forefront and he was confident that the present boys, if and when their time came, would fully maintain the school tradition of loyalty and service. He then read the roll of those who gave their lives in the last war. Following this the cus' tomary two minutes silence was observed, which ended the formal prof ceedings. As we go to press, we hear that Cupples I, Vernon and Young have been successful in the recent Royal Canadian Naval examinaf tions-Congratulations. I

SCHOOL NOTES The following Masters have joined the Staff since last year: Mr. Burtt, Mr. Height, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Fox, and Mr. Cropper. Mr. Burtt left us at Christmas, and Mr. Robinson left us suddenly on February 8, being called to the Royal Canadian Air Force. These other gentlemen are still with us, and we accord them a very hearty welcome .We were sorry to lose Mr. Robinson who was so inter' ested in our Football, but we wish him the best of luck in his new sphere of activity. Mr. Robertson, Calgary, has presented an Annual Tennis Cup for competition amongst the juniors. Our sincere thanks are due Mr. Robertson. Our best thanks are again due to Mr. Beaumont for his kind' ness in taking the boys on yacht trips: and to Mr. XV. S. Cupples, Mrs. R. F. Dalziel, Mr. E. Smith, Mr. F. Slocobe, and Mrs. Griffin, for their unfailing interest in the matter of transportation of the juniors for Football and Cricket matches. A portion of Sunday afternoon is now devoted to walks in the country. This innovation is greatly appreciated by -L- Sooner! We hope that the School building is feeling as refreshed as it looks! The painters have been very busy, in fact, are still busy. The blackout on May 22 did not place any undue strain on the School. Most of us were sublimely oblivious of the fact that anything out of the ordinary was being enacted! A few of those of the more curious and wakeful disposition were amazed by the efhciency of the parachute flares that lit up districts in every detail, and by their light conjured up visions of Coventry in Victoria. Sickness of various intensity has shown itself at odd intervals during the year. Isolated cases of rubella fwhich involved gargling parades, and latterly a touch of chickenfpox that created a war of nerves at Exam time, have all been endured and most eiliciently dealt with by the Matron and Dr. Bigelow. Congratulations to Cupples I, Dalziel III, and Dalziel IV, the Senior. Intermediate, and Junior Sports Champions for this year. Inadvertently, the names of A. P. Black, E. J. Laffin, and G. D., Corry were omitted from the list of lunior Matriculants as published in the newspapers. We are sure the corrected results were in the nature of good news to the boys concerned. 6

N., an old boy of the School, addressed himself par' ticularly to those boys who might not be returning. He reminded them that they were going out into the world where they would have to rely upon themselves and put into practice those things and principles which they had been taught at school. He thought that the one word which summarized those principles was loyalty - loyalty to one's God, to one's country and to one's principles of uprightness. He thought, moreover, that in this principle of loyalty lay half the secret of success. For, if a man will stick to his guns, he cannot go far wrong. Commodore Beech concluded his speech by wishing the boys a happy holiday and success in the careers upon which they were about to embark. The proceedings opened with Prayers and Scripture Reading, after which the Headmaster, in the Sith Annual Report, said that the usual activities at University School had been maintained unimf paired. Twelve boys had matriculated last June, two had passed the Senior Matriculation, one had gained entrance to the Royal Military College, and one had passed second in Canada into the Royal Canadian Navy. Four boys had written the Naval Examinaf tions this year. He looked forward to a good academic year in the future. He thanked the Masters and the Staff generally and the boys for the measure of cofoperation, during the school year just closing .Mr. P. E. Vxfinslow, Chairman of the Board of Governors, who was also on the platform with the Headmaster, thanked Com' modore Beech for his address. After the singing of the School Song and National Anthem, tea was served in the Diningfroom to the various guests. 8
