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.

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

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. During the first half of the game the School kicked off and put Royal Roads on the defensive. Good tackling by the Navy pref vented us from scoring until a Navy threefquarter missed a pass and Gibbs picked the ball up and went over the line for a try ten minutes
