We are optimistic enough to think that we are not merely carrying on, we are progressing. Certainly there has heen no slackenf ing of effort. We have not only maintained achievements, we have made progress, too, As we look hack through the months that are past we can see much for which, despite the increasing scope and suffering of the war. we can he profoundly thankful. As we look forward we are confident that the tasks and responf sibility which the future may lay upon us will find us no less prepared than we have already shown ourselves. At this time we necessarily think of those who will he leaving us. NVe are confident that they are well able to take their places ably in this time of national need: and soon their names will he added to the increasing list of Qld Boys who are serving their King and Country in the Services. NVe should like the Old Boys to know that wherever they are. they are ever in our minds, and through the Black and Red we send our hest wishes and prayers for their safety. NVe do not know what the future may hold for any of us, hut it should inspire those who serve to know that the Qld School is still carrying on in the same old way. i G. H. S. 5 SCI-IGOL NOTES Kipling wrote: UBIQUE means that warning grunt the perish'd linesman knows As o'er his tired and suff'ring front the shrapnel sprays his foes, And, as their firing dies away, the husky whisper runs From lips that haven't drunk all day The Guns. Thank God, the Guns We write: UBIQUE means VVe'll do our bit in this war just the same: If scrap can win the scrap then we are there and we are games And as our metal falls in bombs to blast the Nazi Huns, VVe still can hear your fond farewell The Guns. Good-bye, the Guns. Our thanks are due to Messrs. Skillings, Harman, Graham, Peers, Old Boys, and Doswell and McKinnon, all of whom acted as ofiicials on Sports Day. We are glad to say that after a long and serious illness last summer Mr. Howden was able to assume his teaching duties in Sep' tember. Since that time his health has progressed sufhciently to enable him to assume his full duties and to be in charge of cricket during the Summer Term. Cur thanks are due to Mr. Beaumont for the hospitality which he has shown to the boys on his yacht. Congratulations are due to Gibbs as Senior Champion in Sports. This is the second time that Gibbs has won the Corsan Cup. Carle I and Dalziel IV are to be congratulated as joint Intermediate Cham' pions, and Carle II as junior Champion. The School driveway is now very trim with its new white boxing. Much new grass has been sown with great success. Mr. Wenman is to be congratulated on having left for England on Friday, June S, and getting back for Sports on June 6. Truly the marvels of fast aeroplane travel for the wellfknown ways of the Armyj are never ending! Congratulations are due to Captain A. M. Cockeram, his officers and N. C. Cfs, for their efficient and painstaking work in connection with the Cadet Corps. SergeantfMajor Wade, and M. Sergeant Wallis deserve a special word of commendation for their care in handling the uniforms and equipmentg also Sergeant Coghlin for his work in connection with the Band. 6 We regret to hear of the death at Vancouver of Mr. R. j. Sprott, B. A., who from 1930 to 1934 was associated with the School as chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Sprott was a lifeftime educationalist, and the School derived much benefit from his kindly interest during those years. On Cctober 22 the boys celebrated Trafalgar Day and spent an enjoyable afternoon with Captain Holms QC. BJ at the Naval Barracks. On Cctober 7 Foundation Day was observed at the School as usual. The Headmaster gave an outline history of the foundation of the School for the benefit of the new boys, and referred feelingly to the oustanding record of the Old Boys not only in the last war, in which conflict over seventy boys gave their lives, but in the pref sent war in which thirteen boys have already lost their lives. The Air Raid Precaution drill arranged by the Headmaster on December 8 provided plenty of excitement for the first few days. The frequent practices we have had since that time have now reduced this to a matter of ordinary routine. On November 24 we had a very interesting talk from Canon W. W. Judd, formerly headmaster of Kings College School, Windsor, and now secretary to the Social Service of the Church of England in Canada. Cannon -ludd's explanation of his work and objectives was very interesting. He was introduced by the Headmaster and accompanied by the Rev. E. Comley, whom we see so frequently on the grounds in the role of a cricketer. We are very grateful to Mrs. Agnes L. Herne for the gift of a silver cup of the Chester Rowing Club won by her late husband in 1895. In presenting the cup to us Mrs. Herne says, A little link of England for University School, Victoria, with very best wishes. We are grateful to Mrs. Herne for so kindly remembering us in this connection. We were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Doswell for Rugby. He is now quite one of us in every way and his keen and active interest has been inspiring to all. We are sorry to lose Mr. Locock, who has been with us during the past four years. He plans to leave shortly for Eastern Canada. Mr. Height has also left us. His plans at present are uncertain. Our best wishes go with both. New appointments will be made shortly. 7 SALVETTE K. 1.

Mathieson G. D. Harris SPEECH DAY Speech Day was celebrated on June Qorh. The proceedings opened with prayer and the reading of the Lesson by Wade I. The Headmaster then presented his annual Ref port, the 36th Annual Headmaster's Report in the history of the School. I..ieut.fCom. Ogle, a former Master of the School, spoke to the boys. In addition to outlining the work of the R. N. C., of the staff of which he is a member, Commander Ogle pointed out to the boys the challenge which was flung to them by the chaotic state of affairs in the world tofday and urged them to look to the future, rather than the past, and to meet the challenge with all the resources which the School had given them. In the unavoidable absence of Mr. F. E. Winslow, Chairman of the Board of Governors, Mr. J. H. Harman, President of the Old Boys Association, thanked Lieut.fCom'mander Ogle for his address. Commander Ogle then presented the prizes as follows: Senior Matriculation: Wallis Form VI: Cupples, McNicol, Ogle Form Va: Kitson, Anderson, Carle I Form Vb: Wade II, Harvey I Form IV: de Roos Form Shell A: Beech, Shell B, Whittome: Shell C, Cornish Drawing Prize: Beech Scripture Prize: Stephenson I Boys under 8: Pearson Headmaster's Award to Prefects: Duke, Wade I, Mackay Ker Cup: Corry About a hundred parents and friends were entertained at tea in the School Dining Hall. 8 ACADEMIC RESULTS, JUNE 1941 The results of the Matriculation Examination were very credit' able indeed A.

From Grade XI: Sentences illustrating the meaning of words: Your face is very fugue .

The instruments used were a terrible sight: 'Twas rumoured the last band had been in a fight. They practised whenever some spare time they had And steadily drove the community mad: But slowly and surely their playing improved Till out at the head of our unit they moved. The Headmaster, pleased with the eiforts they made, Then gave a halffholiday, quite unafraid. And so they returned feeling happy and gay, ' And practising started quite early next day. They practised and practised with twinges of fear, For all of them knew the inspection drew near. The drumfheads were tightened, the bugles were shined, They took to the field to be properly lined. Th music was heard to be sweet, clear and loud, The joyful rendition made everyone proud. They drilled and they drilled through the rest of the day Till darkness closed in and the light turned to grey. The end of the day being then near at hand, The Company led by the glorious Band Marched off from the field, with their last bit of fight, For fear they be caught in the oncoming night. But now that the honours profuse have been won The world has forgotten the things they have done. The end of the term comes their ranks to deplete, But Band Sergeant Coghlin will not own defeat: He orders Blow harderg make up for the noise That would have been made by the rest of the boys. And now he is training the band of next year To bugle and drum when the Gen'ral is near. .I honestly think we should give them a hand, These valiant members of our Bugle Band. DFS 11 THE DAY AFTER It had been a night of terror with explosions rocking the ground and brilliant flashes lighting up the sky: even the very air smelt of sulphur and destruction. Hell had reigned supreme. Now, everything was still, terribly so-we almost missed the concussions that had been rumbling for the greater part of the night. The stillness was quite uncanny. Stiff and cold we crawled up from our shelter, a mere hole in the ground with boards and dirt on top, and looked out. Daylight was breaking. A heavy bank of fog, or was it smoke, hung like a great pall over our beloved city. Here and there angry folds of dull' red were weaving and curling, an odd streak of vivid flame stabbed the masses of billowing cloud, while now and then a heavy thud or splitting crack would make us feel that the demons were loathe to leave us. Appalled at the mightiness of it all, we stood and gazed dumb' founded. The smoke curled up to heaven: it stretched for miles: columns of it, black, yellow and even green. It blotted out the distant hills, the old familiar landmarks, and defiantly tried to delay the dawning of another day. Curious and anxious to see the worst, we found ourselves being irresistably drawn towards the scene of destruction. Slowly at first and then hurriedly we crossed a field, reached the road and in silence half walked, half ran towards it all. The smoke grew thicker: little groups of men, women and children, choking, limping, halffdazed it seemed, passed us: some were scantily clad with a hastily snatched scarf over their heads, while others, less fortunate, wore bloodstained handkerchiefs wrapped round arm or head. Ambulances, a police car, several army trucks laden with hagf gard parents and crying children, private cars with smashed windows or roofs torn off, crawled past, swelling the stream of homeless humanity. Here and there were to be seen signs of last night's visif tation: broken branches, a telephone pole leaning drunkenly to one side, its wires a jumbled mess, a roofless house, the remains of a piano straddling the sidewalk, and ever the swelling stream of injured. Billowing waves of acrid, foul smoke came rolling towards us: it was painful to see, difficult to breathe and useless to try and pick our way over debris, with this ever growing crowd. And then above the hum and clatter could be heard the wailing call of a firefengine. It was coming our way-fast! It was almost upon us! Frenzied cries! Shrieks for help! Another second and?a shrill bell sounded in my ear. -I awoke!QHow I blessed that Chink Bell!! -A Contribution from the Shell Room. 12 THE LEAFS The leaf was darkish, and had prickles on it But in another country. as he said, Bore a bright golden flower: QMilton's Comusj Filius patrie loquitur: Father, if you could lift that cup, I don't see why I shouldnt: I'll try to keep the record up, Though there are some that couldn't Anderson 'sometimes bowls in reach Of Gillies at the wicket: Though Wallis flviacl is hard to teach The rudiments of cricket. Cockeram bats like Aberhart: But I have hopes of Carle: With eclat Morgan's wont to start If rather too much parley.

That is the lot except for me And I am wholly wrapt in The skipper's job: and so you see I make a priceless captain. -ili-,llfli RADIO We were asked by C-lVI, the local Station, to send five boys to represent the School on a Quiz Programme against St. Louis' Col' lege. The following boys were selected: McNicol, Cupples, Bailey, Kitson, and Wade I. I Those who remained at the School were allowed half an hour off Prep to listen to the contest. The questions were very mixed: some hard and some easy, and on all sorts of subjects. The School obtained an early lead and it looked as though we would win, but Fate stepped in on the last question but one, and St. Louis drew level. We missed the last question and thereby lost by one point. However, the losers received a dollar each for their pains and went back to School hoping to be invited to compete again at some other time. H. IW. 13 X THE RER CUP This year the Cup was awarded to Geoffrey Donald Corry. Despite the fact that there were at least three boys in the School of Ker Cup calihre, the Masters were unanimous in their selection. Corry came to the School in September 1938. He matriculated last june, and this year sat for his Senior Matriculation. During his time at School Corry has participated in every activity, has always heen a keen contestant although perhaps not always a winner. This year he was Captain of the Rughy XV, a Prefeet, School Boxing Champion. winner of the Cross Country Run, a member of 14 the Gym Eight and on the Cricket Team. He has shown very definite ability in leadership and character. He has now joined the Army as a private, prior to gaining his commission in the First Battalion Canadian Scottish. We wish him well, and shall follow his achievements in the future with pride and interest. TENNIS Both courts were in constant use during the term, although the weather was far from perfect. Tournaments were held as usual. The Open Doubles was won by Duke and Mackay, who of recent years seem to have established a lien on this event. The Open Singles was won by Duke, for the sec' ond time. Carle II had the better of Collett II in the finals of the Under 14. It is of interest to note that Athletic Socks were awarded to Duke and Mackay as prizes, instead of the usual tennis balls. These two boys have already won enough balls to stock a shop, moreover, there is a rubber shortage. ARMISTICE DAY AT UNIVERSITY SCHOOL The twentyfthird consecutive Armistice Day Service was obf served on November 11th at University School in all its now tra' ditional detail. The School and Staff gathered before the War Memorial in the front hall of the School House. The Headmaster explained the significance of the day and then read the Letter written by R. V. Harvey, former Headmaster and coffounder of the School, which he wrote to the boys in 1914 on his departure from Victoria for the Front whence he was not destined to return. This was followed by the reading of Binyon's Lines for the Fallen, suitable Prayers, and the Roll of 70 Old Boys who gave their lives in the World War and, for the first time, of Old Boys, twelve in number, who had given their lives in this. The School wreath was hung over the Memorial by C. Pike, who, of those present, has been longest at the School. The tvqo minutes silence was observed and the School buglers sounded the Last Post and the iiles paraded in silence before the Tablet. After dismissal from Parade the boys and Staff gathered in the Lounge Room where C. Smith, an Old Boy, gave an informal talk on his doings on H. M. S. Southampton from the outbreak of war till she was sunk, Noiwvay, Murmansk, Iceland, the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, the Mediterranean, Aden, Zanzibar, and the Atlantic. 17 1. 4 . . faafed fl 1 few .. if A K I ah., -X ? 1' '.' f.,.t 4. .. :girly r. -L, . 5 2,1 .15-, uit f - f f X F'i'E.'.AI'.

All four bowlers of the previous XI left in June 1941, with the result that the team bowling has been of a very mediocre calibre and that there has been little opportunity for members of the XI to face reasonably good bowling at the nets or in practice games. The season has, how' ever, been a personal triumph for Twiss who captained the team, headed the batting and bowling averages and played two really masterly innings, against Shawnigan and against the Navy. A marked feature of the season has been the cheerfulness and good spirit of the team and the fact that each member has contributed something, according to his talent, to the pleasure of the game: and in this should be included the two official scorers, Bailey and Stephenson I, who have laboured most painstakingly and loyally in their own department. The weather was highly unsatisfactory throughout and the only real cricket day was the day of the Navy Match. Six matches were played: two were drawn and four lost. Junior matches were played against Glenlyon and the Brent' wood Colts The School won all of them. Cwing to the fact that there are hardly any Incogs left in Victoria, the Incogs bat was not presented this year. Colours were given to Wade I. The School XI for 1942 is as follows: Twiss fcaptainj, Wade I fvicefcaptainj, Gibbs, Corry, Mackay, Kennedy, Carr, Carle II, Dalziel I, Wallis, Gillies. 16 AVERAGES BATTING lnmvxqi Xu! lfilf Tiff S.. 1. 71:15 :Xi mage Twiss ...,. . 6 1 31 79 15.8 Corry .... .. 6 3 12x 16 8.6 Dalziel I .. .... 6 1 16 39 7.8 Vfade I ..... ..,. 6 O 13 32 9.3 BQXYLING Orem Runs 1'x'1. ,:t.w .'x14c'T.L:1g Twiss ........... ......... 6 9 162 22 6.9 Kennedy .......... ......... 1 2 46 5 9.2 Gibbs ........,..,..................... 63 188 18 10.4 THE SCHooL vs. SH.axvN1uAN LAKE The iirst match of the season was played on the home ground on May 2nd, in weather which, after two wretched weeks of cold and rain, was warm and sunny. Shawnigan won the toss and elected to Held.

Gibbs overplayed a well pitched ball and was bowled and Kenf nedy, Wade and Gillies and Dalziel made no attempt to play the bowling with a straight bat which was what was wanted. Carle II played some pretty strokes and scored a beautiful four, the only one made by the side. Mackay and Corry had a merry time with diagonal bats and Mackay scored freely. The bowling of Gandossi and Hunt- ington was excellent. Two overs by Collett were the only interruption of the bowling of Twiss and Gibbs. The former was fairly successful, though his bowling was by no means good: Gibbs was very poor with a suc' cession of longfhops on the leg side. Dalziel caught a brilliant catch and the fielding was good throughout. Result: Shawnigan - 61. University School - 41. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL SHAWNIGAN Twiss .,i,,,,..,...... C. Milligan, Huntington C.

A. F. In cold and wretched weather the School was decisively beaten by the R. A. F. Batting first, the School, thanks to Twiss, Dalziel and Wade, amassed a reasonable total which would have been much smaller if Thorner had been kept on, for his bowling was far too good for the School batsmen. Twiss batted particularly well. Green and Wildmore, for the R. A. F., found no difiiculty whatever in the bowling of Gibbs, Twiss and Wade, and gave the home side a beautiful lesson in how superior batsmen could place the ball wherever they wished. For once in a way, the School fielding was not up to the mark. The game was an enjoyable one except for the weather and provided the School with valuable experience. 18 SCHOOL R. A. F.

Gas restrictions added a spice of variety to the day and the team travelled by bus, playing between 11 a. m. and 3:30 p. m., and, incidentally, having to stand all the way home. Shawnigan batted first and, thanks to a beautiful innings by Huntington, amassed 44 runs. Twiss bowled very steadily, better than he has done before, but with very little luck. Gibbs took six wickets, mainly because there was a soft spot in the pitch where his favourite longfhop landed. The School innings was poor in every respect save the batting of Twiss who played a real captains innings , going in first, batting with restraint and judgment and 19 refusing to give up the struggle. He hit a glorious six, an off drive over covers head' from a halffvolley of Huntingtoifs. In his fifth and sixth overs, Gandossi took five wickets, the School batsmen going into a complete tailspin , - UNIVERSITY SCHOOL 6 'Twiss ..............., c.

BRENTWOOD Postponed two or three times on account of rain, the return match against Brentwood was played on Thursdy, june 11th. Time for play was somewhat limited for various reasons. This was a pity, for the School, for the Hrst time this season, looked like winning a match. Brentwood batted first and looked for a time as if they were out for a big score. However, steady bowling by Twiss, good fielding and throwing in, soon changed the appearance of things and the side was out for 67. Twiss, Carr, Gibbs and Kennedy gave little troubleg but when Corry and Dalziel got together runs came fast from some rather unorthodox batting. Dalziel added a comic touch by skying the last ball of the game above the middle of the pitch and, as he ran, gaily calling to the bowler, Angus, as he got under it, You won't catch that! . . . and he didn't.

THE SCHOOL vs. THE Navi' The last and most enjoyable match was played against the on the School grounds on june 13th. The Navy batted first with varying fortune until Lifton and jackson got together and took complete charge of the School bowl' ing. Both batsmen eventually retired and the innings was quickly brought to a close for 83 runs. During the innings, Gibbs brought off a remarkable catch while fielding at slip. Homes misfhit a ball from Kennedy so that it went high over his own head and that of the wicketfkeeper and would have fallen about 35 yards behind-the wicket. Gibbs ran along the line of flight of the ball and, looking up into a bright sun, brought off the catch which came over his head. Corry and Mackay opened the School innings, the former scoring a four from the first ball. Wade batted merrily for a while, hitting two four's: but the remainder of the team failed dismally with the outstanding exception of Twiss who was not out at the end of 22 runs amassed by patient and commendable batting. Both teams batted twelve and Helded eleven: and the match ended in a draw. NAVY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Sinclair b. Gibbs ................. - ..... 7 Corry ................ c. Es' b. Barr ...,.......

Bowled steadily under very diflicult and trying circumstances and deserves much credit. Made a satisfactory job of his first year's captaincy. WADE I-An excellent Helder and a Cricketer of the right spirit. Must give up his present method of dealing with a well-pitched ball on the off stump. A loyal and co-operative vice-captain. GIBBS-Has had a very poor season. He has shown no sign whatever of fulfilling his earlier promise with the bat and his bowling consists almost entirely of long-hops. GILLIES-Has made a praiseworthy effort to become a wicketfkeeper and has achieved no mean success. Disappointing with the bat, the use of which he must learn to employ with greater seriousness. 21 MACKAY-A cheerful and enterprising bat, with a knowledge of the diflif culties which lie in the batsman's way. A really good field. ' CORRYL Has improved considerably with the bat. An excellent field. KENNEDY-Has batting ability, only he does not use it. A fair bowler, apt to be lacking in concentration. A moderate -field. CARR-Has many good points as a bat: must learn how to deal with balls on the off side. Has greatly improved in the field. CARLE II-Is shaping into a really good bat: with the natural impatience of extreme youth, he has often flung away his wicket: will do well as years go on. Avoirdupois has somewhat retarded his muscles in the held. DALZIEL I-A natural hitter with a fairly good eye: a safe field. WALLIS-Has not had much opportunity in school matches: always willing to try and has possibilities. JUNIOR CRICKET Gn May 16 on the School ground the Colts beat the Brentwood Colts by 88 to 41. Gillespie scored 43 for the winners and Anderson and Collett II bowled well. On May 8 the School Helded two Junior XI's against Glenlyon. Both matches were won easily. Anderson and Beckton distinguished themselves with the batg and Anderson had 7 wickets for 19 in the match between XI's of 13, 14 and 15 yearfolds which the School won by 80 to 35. The younger XI won very easily. TEAMS: Older XI: Wade II, Jensen I, Carle II, Anderson, Collett I, Stephenson I, Beckton, Harvey I, Bissett, Wyllie, Kitson, Younger XI: Collett II, Scott, Moilliet, Whittome, Jones, Fraser, Harvey II, Cave, Cornish, Jensen II, Rowlands. CLAYTON CUP There was keen competition in the Clayton Cup series this year, teams being entered under the captaincy of Twiss, Gibbs, Wade I and Mackay, respectively. By the time that the final stage was reach' ed, Wade's team had to draw with Gibbs' to win the Cup and Gibbs' team required a win. After several starts rendered abortive through rain, the final was played on the Square on June 10th and the Cup was won by Wade I's team, exactly thirty years after his father's team had won it in the first year in which the competition was held. The game was notable for a really brilliant catch by Stephenson I who, fielding close in at cover, remembered advice which had been given him and, moving with the batsman's feet, was in position to hold a hot drive from Gibbs. Wade distinguished himself by scoring more from his own bat than the whole of the other team amassed. 22 It must be admitted, however, that the iielders on Gibbs' team especially on the leg side, were very kind to all opposing batsmen XVADE'S XI GIBBS' XI Gillies .. ..,,..... .......

CROSS COUNTRY RUN On account of the military activities in the district it became necessary to abandon the usual course, so that this year the run was actually a road race. Corry was the winner, and received the Cup presented by the Old Boys. The best Junior was Collett II. Altogether about seventy' four boys took the run. It was particularly gratifying to note the number of juniors who covered the course in very good time.

SPORTS DAY In somewhat gloomy weather and with rain just managing to hold off until after the Prizes had been presented, Sports Day was celebrated according to custom on the first Saturday in june. In spite of the War about four hundred people attended, with a goodly sprinkling of Old Boys, many of them in uniform, including Mr. Wenman, who had left for England the night beforeg but had only got as far as Vancouver. All the officials were Old Boys and Masters, with Mr. IvIcKinnon kindly acting as Starter. 23 Prizes were presented by the Lord Bishop of Columbia, who was introduced by the Headmaster. After telling his audience some somewhat humorous anecdotes of his earlier athletic career, the Bishop addressed himself seriously to the boys and emphasized the essential qualities of character which, he said, University School was so eminently qualified to inculcate. Tea was served as usual in the Gym and, for the first time, was enlivened by the performance of the School Orchestra. Results were as follows: 220 under 14: Carle II, Applestone, Yule. 28 315. 220 under 16: Carle I, Dalziel IV, Stephenson I. 25 4 220 operi: Dalziel III, Gibbs, carry. zz ifs. 100 under 14: Collett II, Carle II, Yule. 12. 100 under 16: Dalziel IV, Carle I, Bissett. 11 215. 100 under 12: Payne, Jones, Fraser. 14 115. 100 open: Dalziel III, Gibbs, Cockeram.

Interfldigh School Track Meet. in xxhicli a team from the School took part, was held at Victoria High School on the afternoon of june 3, In view of th: fact that they had not yet had their own Sports Day and were therefore handicapped in that respect, the School team did very well, linishing third in total points, one and a half points behind Oak Bay High School, and two points behind Brentwood College, the eventual winners. Dalziel III ran a fine race to win the 220 yards, as well as placing second in the 440 yards run. Gibbs came second in the broad jump and 120 yards hurdles, and placed third in the 100 yards. Dalziel II came second in the high jump and Gerry gained a third place tie in the 440 yards. The School relay team consisting of Corry, Gibbs, Gockeram and Dalziel HI won the medley relay, their time being only 4 23 seconds from the record. 5 we I: e , . ...ia if Dalziel II, Dalziel I.

After a great deal of work, both in writing the script and preparing the stage, the entertainment, which consisted of a number of short, humorous skits, was presented and was fully appreciated by the boys and the small number of guests present. The school orchestra appeared for the first time this night and fully surprised everyone who had heard it practising. Robertson, who was organiser, conductor and arranger, certainly had spent his spare time well. The rest of the orchestra consisted of Wade II, pianog Clegg, trumpetg Peltz, guitar, and Myros, drums. The first skit was a Hshadowplaym depicting an operation by the famous Dr. 'Killhair, in which he removed everything imaginable from his unfortunate patient. After a number by the orchestra, several school desks were brought on the the stage and a wild class' room scene followed. This hectic version of a sofcalled moderate class was followed by a News roundfup'- Glimpses round the modern world, in which we were taken to Russia, Great Britain, Scotland, Norway, Gerf many and Italy. After this came the Transformation of a new boy, which certainly brought memories from the distant past as well as presenting the humorous side of the past. This was followed by a religious play, The calling of Matthew, which presented to our audience our version of the well known Bible Story. The last act on the programme was a scene from Macbeth, L'The Wierd Sistersfi in modern phraseology. This was not as successful as it might have been because of the loss of one of the actors, Gillespie, who was injured in the rugby game that afternoon. However, a substitute was found in Robertson, who made a good job in spite of so little time in which to rehearse. Gillespie was also in two other acts but Coghlin very ably took his place.

Corry - The results of last year's interfCadet Competition found the School in a none too flattering position-one that was somewhat difficult to understand. This rebuff, far from dampening the Corps morale, stimulated all ranks to still greater efforts. In addition to the usual early morning drill parades, various other activities were taken up with vigor and enthusiasm, the more important being the refformation of a Band and definite classes for Signalling and First Aid. To the first must go much credit. Thanks to the indefatiguable efforts of Sgt. Coghlin the Band was instrumental fin more ways than one, in putting new life into the Corps. The Parade Ground Training found a fresh element of interest and the route marches, which were indulged in from time to time, evoked much praise from the casual onlooker. The rank and file owe much to those who so unselfishly gave their spare time in this direction. The Signallers deserve a word of commendation for the time they put in in this particular branch of the Corps, and for the rapidity with which they mastered the intricacies of the message form and the inevitable buzzer. Cf the ten who took the Signalling Course at the Victoria High School, eight passed, and at the Annual Cadet Inspection, a 98? efficiency was recorded, The First Aid Class, an essential part of the Corps, were most ably instructed by Lieut. Corry and Cpl. Gibbs. All deserve much praise for the way they carried on in this nonfspectacular and some' times forgotten role. Gnce again the Annual Inspection took place at an early date, April 17th. Mumps caused considerable consternation in the Camp, and the refarrangement of N. C. Gfs, etc., kept things lively up to the last minute. In spite of this, 68 Cadets were on Parade. The Inspection, which was conducted by Major Critchley, G. S. O., M. D. 11, commenced at 1:30 p. m. The Ceremonial open' ed with the General Salute, after which came the Inspection of the Company and Band, which was drawn up in the rear. Following this the Corps marched past in Column of Platoons, reformed and advanced in Review Order. In all these movements the Band was of inestimable value. Company, Platoon, and Section drill under the various officers and N. C. Ofs followed and finally a display of Field 27 m8 Drill, culminating in a charge. ended the Company's military activities. The Signallers and First Aid then underwent a practical test of their abilities, while the remainder prepared for a display of physif cal exercises, which were ably supervised by Cadet Capt. Cockeram. The Gym Eight, under Cpl. Gibbs, then gave an inspiring Exhibition on the horse and bars, and wound up with a series of Tableaux. At the close of the proceedings, Major Critchley, paying spef cial tribute to the help afforded by the Band, expressed his pleasure at the marked improvement over last year's performance. He -was particularly impressed by the willingness of each and all to work and the degree of discipline which pervaded the Corps. Briefly, he ref minded all that, in spite of there being so few rifles available, the training that was being undertaken in all the schools was an invalf uable asset at the present time, and was as great a contribution to the war effort as could reasonably be expected, Cheers were then called for, and another Cadet Inspection came to a close. The year was very fittingly brought to a close on Sunday, june 21st, when, by permission of the Headmaster and the kindness of Rev. F. Pike, arrangements were made for the Cadet Corps to attend Evening Service at St. Luke's Church. It was a service that will dwell long in our memories. The old favourites, O God Cur Help in Ages Past, Onward Christian INSPECTION DAY 29 Soldiers, Lord, Dismiss us with Thy Blessing, were sung with reverent fervour and the Sermon, delivered by Mr. Pike, was a source of great comfort to those in need of real practical advice dur' ing the days to come. , by , , . op , . 5 do 0 g o non 4' a o o 9 . g o 0 , .

C. R. A. Competition, the results of which are not yet at hand. Much credit is due to Pike, Bailey and Mackay for their rangef discipline and for the assistance given by them to less experienced shots. The award of the Harvey Memorial Rifle for the best shot in the School was as follows: 1. Bailey, 482. 2. Mackay, 477. The D. C. R. A. Cup award was as follows: 1. Mackay, 281. 2. Bailey, 274. Braidwood Cup for the best Intermediate Shot: McLennan Best Junior Shot: Talbot. The D. C. R. A. Cold Medal for Special Class Shot was pref sented to Mackayg and the same Associations Bronze Medal for Second Class Shot went to Bailey. These medals were received by the Headmaster in the summer of 1942 and are awarded for shooting in 1941. BOXING Boxing was held as usual this year during the Easter Term. We were fortunate in being able to secure the services of Sergeant Pocock as instructor. The finals were held on March 17. Lieut.fCommander Kings' cote very kindly supplied three petty officers of the Navy to act as judges. Generally speaking, the calibre of boxing was good. The winner of the Heavy Weight, Pike, was challenged by three other winners of their weights for the School Championship, which entailed three extra bouts. The Championship was finally won by Corry. 30 The weights were Paper Vifeight .., .....,... as follows: Feather W'eight ,.A .,,.w.. Bantam Vwfeight ..,.......

Mr. McKinnon again was present to judge. Thirteen boys took part in the competition, and the work done was of a fairly high standard, There were a compulsory and two choosable exercises on each piece of apparatus. Gibbs, for the second successive year, won the competition and the Croft Challenge Cup, and was accordingly declared to be the Captain of the Gym Eight for the year. The other members of the Eight, in order of merit were: Wallis, Redpath, Twiss, Gillies, Duke, Gorry, and Applestone. Gibbs is to be specially congratulated, not so much on winning the competition, as on his excellent handling of the competitors throughout the term, and on the efiiciency and unsellishness with which he coached them, and assisted Mr. Locock who was in charge. We wish to place on record our indebtedness to Mr. McKinnon, and our appreciation of his kindness in coming year after year to judge the competition and to give us his helpful criticism, which is such a great aid to further progress.

RUGBY FOOTBALL 1941-1942 Pace, flashes of individual brilliance, team work and good leadership all played their part in making the team of 194142 one of the best the School has ever had. The record of matches played speaks for itselfg but the season was notable for far more than the mere winning of matches and the fact that players, past and present, came from all parts of the town to see the School Fifteen play is an indication of the sort of Rugby which marked all the games. Individual comments are quite unnecessary, but a word of condolence must go out to Mackay, one of the best players in the School, who was unable to take his place on the XV owing to a temporary medical ban. His assistance with next years XV was clear evidence that his heart is in the right place. The season will be looked back upon with happy memories by players, spectators and ofhcials alike. At the Annual Meeting at which the Headmaster presided, G. D. Corry was elected Captain and M. M. Duke VicefCaptair1, and the team for the year was as follows: G. D. Corry, M. M. Duke, J. A. Gibbs, A. lvl. Cockeram, C. A. Pike, A. Twiss, D. B. Gil' lespie, D. M. Gillies, H. J. Wade, R. E. Bailey, G. W. Coghlin, R. M. Dalziel, R. Robertson, R. Carle, R. M. Wallis. FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES THE Sciaooi. vs. ROYAL Roms The season opened on Gctober 11, the opposing team being Royal Roads. The game was played on our own grounds.

The Navy then made a determined attack but good tackling by Corry, and Gillespie making several kicks, pulled the School out of some trouble. The Navy kicked off for the second half of the game and put on a Blit: . Five minutes later after an excellent threefquaiter run the wingfman, Hessey'fWhite. scored the iirst try for Royal Roads.

Mr. Doswell refereed. THE ScHooL vs. Baexrwooo COLLEGE This, a very keen and wellfmatched game, was played at Brent' wood on November 1, and won by the visiting side by five tries to two tries.

After fifteen minutes of play Dalziel II scored for the School to bring a beautiful threefquarter run to a fitting close. The conversion, kicked by Duke, scored. Three minutes later, Gillies went over the Brentwood line as the result of another fast threefquarter run. Gibbs, however, failed to add the extra points.

Five minutes after the commencement of the second half, Calhoun, following up a kick, scored, but the conversion failed.

Until the end of the first half the School'held its grounnd despite hard and fast attacks made by Brentwood. The first half ended with a score of School 3, Brentwood O.

THE SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE Cn February 14, the game opened with the School kicking to Brentwood College. . The first five minutes of the game saw the College defending, however, with good kicking by Angus the play was soon even. A try was nearly scored by the College in the following ten minutes, how' ever it was checked by good threefquarter tackles. Once again the College was forced to defend because of a series of fast threefquarter runs by the School. 37 The School finally scored with Gillies going over at the ter' mination of a beautiful three's run. The try was converted by Gibbs. A well placed kick by Angus placed the ball in the School's fifteen yard line, but two excellent dribbles by the defending forwards brought the ball to the half way mark. ' The ball was gained after a School penalty kick and returned by Angus. Another good three-quarter run brought the School another try with Dalziel going over the line, however the difficult conversion was missed by Duke. The Brentwood forwards effectively stopped the School aggressive threefquarters, but Hnally a held goal was scored by Gibbs. Some excellent play by the College brought the ball within two yards of the School line and only exceedingly hard work by the School forwards relieved the pressure. At the end of the first half the School was leading 12-O. The second,ha1f began with another display of Brentwood for' wards, the pressure, however, was relieved by good kicking from Wade. A lurch on by Gillies gave McLean of Brentwood the start and a try was scored by Brentwood. An easy conversion by Young gave Brentwood the added points. After good ten minutes of play a free kick was put over by Angus which made the score 12-8. The School then held Brentwood within Brentwood's 1Ofyard line till the end of the game. The game was very well contested and it was one of the most outstanding games played on Brentwood grounds during the season. The final score was 12-8, a victory for School. THE SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE This was the last match of the season against Brentwood Gol lege, and was played on the home grounds on March 7. The School kicked off, but Brentwood gained possession quickly and after three minutes of play crossed the line for their one and only try. Wilsoii got the ball from a loose scrum on the tenfyard line, and Young added the extra points. The School then went on the offensive and Gillies after a splendid run from the fortyfyard line, scored at the corner flag. Gibbs' conversion kick hit the eorssbar and fell back onto the field. Some timely and effective kicking by Angus prevented further scoring until half time, then Gibbs dashed ovcr the line to score between the uprights.

'He added the extra points as the game ended. The team played an excellent game although it took a little time to get really moving. Gibbs and Dalziel III were the most noticeable of the threefquarters, with Carr playing an excellent game as scrum half. Corry, Cockram and Robertson played an especially hard game among the forwards. Pike was excellent. The final score was: School 21, Brentwood College 5. SECOND FIFTEEN MATCHES Siicoxo XV vs. OAK BAY HIGH Scnoot On Thursday, November 20, the Second Fifteen plavcd their first game of the season against a 1iOfpound team from Oak Bay High School, winning by a score of 20 to 9. Oak Bay received the kick off and our forwards followed up hard, forcing the ball out on the opponents thirtyfyard line. Play during these first few minutes was in the opponents half, but several scoring opportunities were missed by our threes by not having the ball out. However, after ten minutes of play Dalziel I went over for a close try. The kick for extra points was good. 'Oak Bay pressed hard and after a good backfield run their wing threefquarter went over for a wellfearned try. The kick failed. Oak Bay again pressed hard and their wing was only prevented from scoring by a hard tackle by Dalziel III. However ,on the next play they pushed the ball over from a tight scrum. The kick failed and at half time the score was 6-5 for the High School lads. The play was fairly even during the first half and some excellent tackling was done by both sides. From the kick, the School forced the ball out on the opponents thirtyfyard line but Oak Bay recovered and kicked for a gain of thirty yards. From a tight scrum the ball was well handled by our threes and on a line individual run, Dalziel I knifed through the centre to score between the posts. Dalziel's kick was good. Oak Bay pressed hard and forced the ball to our opponents' fivefyard line. On the next play Wilkenson, Oak Bays captain, literally plowed his way over the line from five yards out. The kick failed and the score stood at 10-9. Play from now on was fairly even, both sides play' ing hard, but five minutes after Dalziel III intercepted a pass and raced fifty yards for a try. Dalziel's kick was good. Our threes worked better now and Carr receiving the ball from a tight scrum, dummied his way past three men and passed to Dalziel III for the final score. This was the best play of the game. Both sides played well but Oak Bay lacked experienced for' wards. Our threes played hard but the centres, Redpath and Dal' ziel I, were inclined to get caught with the ball instead of passing it out. Carr, Dalziel III and Robertson, who tackled well, stood out for the backs and Dalziel I kicked splendidly. Of the forwards Graham, Cupples and jackson played well. 59 SECOND XV vs. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL Played at Cranmore Road ground on December 4, this game was rather a poor exhibition, both teams made many mistakes and the School team was very ragged and lacking cohesion. No score was made in the Hrst half g but in the second, Wilkinson scored three tries for the High School, and Harvey I one for the School. The final score was IZFS. against the School. SECOND XV vs. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SECOND XV In an unconvincing game at Shawnigan on December 6, the School won by 11 points to 3. The School had all the best of the game, but the threefquarters all made ground sideways and all passed far too soon, before drawing their man. Dalziel I and Carr played well and Graham was prominent among the forwards. I JUNIOR RUGBY JUNIOR XV vs. ST. M1CHAEL's Played on the School ground on February 19. The team was considerably stronger than the opponents and won 26fO. Collett I and Collett II, Jensen I and Ogle were prominent and Dalziel IV played well throughout and scored most of the tries. There was too much picking out of the' scrum by the School forwards who were penalized many times. The forwards lacked cohesion and were very poor in the loose.
