In many ways it has been a hard year. Our difficulties and problems have been varied, but it is some satisfaction at least to know that most of them have been solved satisfactorily, though at times not without considerable inconvenience. As usual at this time of the year another group of boys are going out into the world, to the Navy, the Army, the Air Force, the Royal Naval College, and perhaps one or two to the University. We are confident that these boys, like their predecessors, will be well able to take their place in this time of national need. Their names will be added to the evergrowing list of Old Boys who are serving their King and Country in the Forces. In spite of the increasing difficulties due to war conditions, we have maintained all our usual activities, all of which represents increased interest and effort on the part of the boys, especially considering that our enrolment suffered somewhat last September. To the Old Boys wherever they may be we send our greetings, and we pray for their safe return. We do not know what the future may hold for us, but whatever tasks are laid upon us we shall discharge to the utmost of our ability and with the same spirit and determination -which has characterized our efforts over so many years. G. H. S. 5 SCHOOL NOTES Our thanks are due to Messrs. Holt, Harman, Skillings, George, Peers, and Clayton, Old Boys, and Doswell, and McKinnon, all of whom acted as officials on Sports Day. , Congratulations are due to Dalziel II as Senior Champion in Sports. Dalziel III and Collett II are to be congratulated as Inter' mediate and junior Champions respectively. Collett II set up a new record of 11 BX? for the 100 Yards under 14, and Dalziel 11 equalled the School Record of 10 2f5 in the 100 Yards Open. - Congratulations are also in order to Bailey on winning the Ker Cup, and to Stephenson I on winning the Cross'Country Race. - Congratulations are also due to Mr. Cropper, Cadet Capt. G. W. Coghlin, his Officers and N.C.O.'s for their painstaking work with the Cadet Corps. Sgt. Major Kitson and Q.M. Sgt. Redpath are to be commended for the efhcient handling of uniforms and equip' ment. Also our Band Sergeant, Carle II, for his work with the Band. 1- The Potato Patch, which was dug and planted by the boys under the general supervision of Mr. Ile Mcsuricr, is coming along very well. Indications are that we shall have a good crop of potatoes. The net proceeds will be given to the Red Cross. 111111 Last September we welcomed a new Master, Mr. C. A. Le Mesurier, an Old Boy of Bedford School. He took charge of the Shell Form and has thrown Himself wholefheartedly into many school activities during the year. 1-..i . On October 21, Trafalgar Day, the Headmaster attended the commissioning of the new Royal Canadian Naval College at Hatley Park. In the afternoon the boys were given an address by Canon Talbotfl-Iindsley, M.A., under the auspices of the Empire Inter' Schools Religious Society. The speaker gave an account of some of his experiences in Britain since the war and in Germany before the war. On Sunday, April ll, the ashes of the late F. Ashley Sparks were fin accordance with his own request, placed under the sod on the Cricket Square. Mr. Sparks was a master at the School from l907f1914 and was a prominent B.C. cricketer. The service was conducted by the Headmaster and was attended by the Masters and Prefects of the School and a goodly number of cricketers. 6 ' Congratulations to W. M. Ogle on winning a Leonard Founf dation Scholarship. Our best thanks are due to the Manager of the Hudson's Bay Company for securing such a beautiful full-sized photograph of Colonel C. C. I. Merritt, V.C. This has now been suitably framed and hangs in a prominent place in the Dining Room. .2-..-... In january gas masks were issued to all the Boarders. Prac- tice in Air Raid Precaution and gas mask drill have now been reduced to a matter of routine. The Archery Club, under the supervision of Mr. Cropper, has provided an interesting diversion for many of the boys. Much inter' est has been evident both in the use and construction of bows and arrows. I. K. Dalziel fScottyj has joined the R.C.A.F. and left on july 14 to begin his course at Edmonton. We shall follow his future achievements with great interest. Dalziel II fRonniej competed in the Dominion Day Sports at Vancouver. In spite of keen competition, he came first in the 220 Yards Q23 lfi secondsj and third in the 440 'Yards Q51 lfi secondsj. ACADEMIC RESULTS, JUNE 1943 The results of the Matriculation Examination were very credit' able indeed. j. F. B. Cupples headed the list of junior Matricula' tion candidates. The results were as follows: SENIOR MATRICULATION H. 1. Wade W. D. Mackay R. M. Wallis JUNIOR MATRICULATION QFull Passes J I. P. B. Cupples 1. W. Carr I. R. B. McLennan B. I. M. Griffin D. S.

A. Sparks in many a wellffought game on your beautiful grounds, one readily sympathizes with his expressed wish that his ashes be strewn over the pitch he loved so wellg and recalls the sentiment underlying the old song Twenty Years Ago, as one Qld Boy writes to another, the closing lines beingg And when our time shall come, Tom, and we are called to go, I hope they'll lay us where we played Some twenty years ago. May his spirit hover over the grounds for many years affording an inspiration to the cricketers of tomorrow, not only to emulate his prowess on the field, but he would surely wish that the best tra- ditions of the game be maintained fwith the unwritten code which governs it, viz. the spirit of fair playj laying the foundation of char' acterg and thus equipped face up to the sterner game of life, which all too soon in these days it may be, all are called upon to play. y Incog. 8 p sALvETTE j.

Considering that only fifty candidates are admitted each year from the whole of Canada, the School is very well represented. Congratulations to Ogle, Prance, Carle, jackson, Slocombe and Fowler. l FOUNDER'S DAY AT UNIVERSITY SCHOOL The 36th Anniversary of the founding of the School was held on October 7. Following the custom in past years, the Head' master, in his address after Morning Prayers gave a detailed account of the incidents that led up to the formation of the School, of its growth and its difficulties and achievements during the past thirty' six years. He laid particular stress on the motives which promoted the founding and urged all the present boys to endeavour to conduct themselves in such a manner that they might be worthy of the herif tage that had been handed down to them. Success in this, he added, would ensure the handing down to further generations of traditions comparable to their predecessorsf With pride he alluded to the examples now being set by many Old Boys serving in His Majesty's Forces. Special mention was made of Major General DI. H. Roberts, who was awarded the D.S.O. for his courageous leadership at Dieppe, and of Licut. Colonel C.'C. Merritt, who won the Victoria Cross for his heroic work in the same operation. As a tribute to and in honour of those very gallant leaders the School was granted a half holiday. Cheers were then called for the Headmaster and the Old School and the singing of the School Song brought the proceedings to a close. 9 ARMISTICE or REMEMBRANCE DAY As has been the custoom for the past twenty-four years the School held its own Commemoration Ceremony at 10:45 a.m. in the school buildings. - The Reverend, the Headmaster, conducted the Service, which was attended by all the boys and members of the Staff. Names of some eighty Old Boys who have fallen during the present and past conflicts, were read out, and Prayers were offered for their bereaved ones 'and for those now serving in thc various Forces. The laying of the School Vsfreath on the Honour Roll was followed by the reading of a passage from Revelation, Chapter 7, and the Lord's Prayer. At 11a.m. the Service concluded with the sounding of the Last Post by the buglers of the Cadet Corps. .1111- l. SPEECH DAY The close of the School year was marked by the presentation of academic prizes in the School Gymnasium on Saturday, june 19, in the presence of about a hu-ndred and fifty parents, Old Boys and friends of the School. The Headmaster opened the ceremony with prayers followed by the reading of the Scripture lesson by R. E. Bailey, the Head Prefect. The Headmaster then delivered his annual report, the thirty- seventh in the history of the School, touching on all phases of school life which had been carried on unimpaired despite the increasing difiiculties engendered by the war. He referred to the numerous decorations earned by the Old Boys in the present war. One of the Old Boys recently decorated, Lieut. W. A. Garrard, was in the audience and was enthusiastically welcomed by the boys of the present School. After giving his report the Headmaster introduced His Grace, Archbishop Harding, formerly Archbishop of Ruperts Land. The Archbishop spoke at some length to the boys in an :iddrcss which varied between the amusing, the reminiscent and the instruc- tive, and which left all his audience filled with a sense of inspiration and courage. He told them stories of schools of older days, he spoke of the aims and objects set before them by the School which they attended and he emphasized the call for Christian Gentlemen which was sent up by the world today. He ended his address with the clarion call, In Thought, Faith, in Words, Wisdom, in Deeds, Courage, in Life, Service. 10 . Mr. F. E. Winslow, Chairman of the Board of Governors, was present and thanked the Archbishop for his inspiring address. The'Archbishop then presented the prizes as follows: Form VI--J. A. Kitson, N. S.

Coghlin Kei' Cup-R. E. Bailey SPORTS DAY The Annual Sports Day was held this ycair on june 5, in perfect weather for such an occasion. The usual large crowd of Old Boys, parents and friends of the School attended. This year there was a particularly large attendance of Old Boys and no less than twentyffour ran in the Old Boys Race. Cne new record was established for the 100 Yards Under Fourteen by Collett II, and the 100 Yards Open was equalled, by Dalziel II, fR.M.l. This year for the first time the john Thorne Cup for the Mile was presented. The 'Senior Championship and Wilson Miniature were won by Dalziel II fR.M.l, the Intermediate Championship and Taylor Cup by Dalziel III fR.G.j, and the Junior Championship by Collett II. The Headmaster thanked the officials responsible for the handling of the events, and introduced Colonel Colin Ferrie, an Cld Boy of the School and now Ollicer Commanding Gordon Head Training Camp. Colonel Ferrie pointed out to the boys the value of athletics and good sportsmanship in connection with army train' ing, and urged them to carry out into the difficult world of today the lessons they had learned and habits they had that day put into practice. - In a few well chosen words, Mr. F. E. Winslow, Chairman of the Board of Governors, thanked Colonel Ferrie for his address, who then presented the Cups and Medals. During the afternoon tea was served as usual to some five hundred guests in the School Gymnasium. 11 The results of the events were as follows. 220 Yds under 14: Collett II, Whittomc, Kreger I. 27. 220 Yds under 16: Dalziel III, Carle II, Anderson. 25 115. 220 Yds.

MJ HERE AND THERE ffflte following is a letter written by Midshipman R. A. Creery, R.C.N. l1937'1940l who,-at the time of writing, was on H.M.S. Kingston., ' - I was in this recent Malta convoy which was attacked by an Iti Battleship of the Veneto class and six cruisers, two heavy, two light, with a destroyer flotilla thrown in. The first action we received was soon after breakfast, when torpedofbombers were sighted, and they continued to attack in ones, twos, thrces and up to sixes, from all angles for the remainder of the day. I was closed up at B 4.7 Gun from half past eight in the morning till half past eight at night. After lunch divefbombers, Ju. 88, and highflevel bombers and lowflevel bombers attacked in waves with Savoia and Junkers torpedofbombers to helpg the sky was continually filled with puffs of smoke and the ominous busyfbee hum of torpedofbombers, the whine of divefhombers, the crash and thunder of an intense barrage. The day had dawned bright and with some medium height clouds and a rising sea which rose steadily with time and which made the accurate gunfire all the more praiseworthyg as soon as the blighters' tried to pierce the screen we all let fly, and not one got through for an effective attack, one even dropped his torpedo while going away! The clouds made the high and low bombers difficult to spot, but the barrage was good and not one hit was obtained during the whole day, though there were several near misses. At two o'clock the engines began to throb and we could feel the ship pulsating with the increasing speed, simultaneously came the order Change to Low Angle-S.A.P. on the trays, the battle ensign broke from the foremast head and the four cruisers and their des' troyer flotillas sped away to the north spreading a great black smoke screen to cover the convoy. We were one of the last ships to come round the smoke screen into battle, and it was a sight. The cruisers to starboard still making smoke and firing rapid salvoes, brilliant orange flashes silhouetted against the darkness, and fountains of water were rising up as the Iti's 8 and 6 shells splashed just astern, just ahead, just to right or leftg I saw a cruiser get hit, but damage apparently ,was not serious as the guns continued to fire and there was no conflagration. We chased them off, setting one cruiser seriously afire amid' ships, the range was still too great for the destroyers. The fleet then came hack towards the convoy and relaid the smoke screen, but it was soon apparent that the Iti's had returned and great geysers of sea proclaimed 15 shells. It was a sight I shall never forget, the grey destroyers forging through the rough sea with spray flying over guns and bridge, cascading down lifting foc'sles, black swirling smoke, blue sky and white clouds, camouflaged cruisers racing up astern keeling with each orange salvo and dirty brown puff of cordite, 15 , 8 and 6 projies spouting water all about us-some 15' much too close for comfort--and ahead scenes of a great air battle over the convoy, escorted by another flotilla. I saw a plane shot down from the midst of its orange-tree of bursting shells, it tipped over on one wing and screamed vertically downwards ending with a tremendous splash. But each screen we laid brought us nearer the convoy, this could not go on. So Rear Admiral Vian succeeded in isolating the enemyicruisers while he sent the D.F. in to attack with torpedoes fabout 17301. We first saw the battlewagon emerging from the mists of battle at eight miles. I remember a towering, indented bridge structure and two funnels, and billowing crimson balls of fire shooting out from fore and aft, as we got closer a long black foc'sle and flashes of secondary arm:mentg I could see her throughout the action. We were one of the centre ships upon whom she was concentrating and the shells were coming mighty close-just left, just right, just short, just over, short, over. We closed to 6000 yards. As was practically inevitable just before that we were hit by a 15 projy, causing a certain amount of damage, mainly superficial. We turned just after the others and fired our torpedoesg and the iflotilla hit her. The most terrifying part of all was just after our hit seeing the great fireballs continuing to billow out, if the last one hit, what about this one coming, coming, coming .,.. We were not hit again. But I shan't forget the brownish grey horror with his flashing eyes growing larger and more horrible every minute, and praying with my mind for us to turn and get it over with, while trying to encourage the gun crew by voice at the same time CI gave this up after the first salvo deaf' ened melj. Our damage was not as serious as' one might expect and we, or the BR. Department rather, who performed wonders, soon had it under control and we proceeded. And the convoy was still intact. Casualties so far-the B.B.C. was correct here-were three des' troyers damaged, a number of near misses, no ships sunk, no ships unable to proceed. is It blew hard all night and by next morning there was a tre' mendous swell. We were attacked, weakly twice, but a terrific Stuka formation swoop--about twenty of these peeling off .and diving one after the other from low clouds-there was no sun--settled the fate of the one merchantman we lost. There is more to this story, but as yet I cannot tell it. U I myself am quite all right now with no had effects. Rob Summons, my confrere, was abouttwelve yards from the shell when it burst. Everyone about him was killed -or injured but two. He has a number of scratches, a bad blast burn on his face, he is a bit shaken and otherwise OK. He went up to hospital two 'days ago for a rest, and I think he will be very much better for it when he comes back. 16 I keep forgetting I shall have to hold this letter for a bit, so I'll add-an instalment next week-or perhaps forget about it altogether. Some oaf on the wireless the other night bombastically said, The bigger the odds against the British Navy, the better it likes them. There were a few disparaging remarks passed on him, his character, and his habits by the members of the crew of H.M.S. KINGSTON immediately afterwards. l April Znd. The Hunsdid a fair amount of damage to the convoy the next day, but certainly not what he claims. GovernorfGeneral Robbie made quite a good little speech to the populace saying that he realised what a disappointment ittmust be to all concerned to see the destruction of materials we brought in, but that a surprisf ingly large amount of stuff had been saved that one would not have thoughtpossible. I am in a position to confirm his statement. This letter sounds pretty cheery on the whole I think, if l have given the impression that each round went to us, I didn't mean to, for it is far from it and it has been a really tough battle. Perhaps it still continues what with the heavy raids one hears about on Malta. I don't think I shall be able to add anything else on this affair till I see you again, one thing about the Med-you certainly pile up lines to shoot! A - Rob came back today looking 1OO0k better, and he feels it toog the rest-M-a week he's had-has worked its cure, and he will get another week in a fortnight. Iam going to camp in the country on Monday with a large portion of ship's company, we all do a turn up there, an excellent idea to my mind. - i I iii - - THE I-IUMMINGBIRD ' faftev' 4 Walt Whitmanj Bird of the summer and of joy, ' ' The hummingbird, winging his goldeniiflight Through the scented airg Part bird, part insect he was made, Servant of Nature he lives and dies.

B. BAILEY 11938119431 ' THE KER CUP This year the Cup was awarded to Reginald Edward Bailey. The Masters were unanimous in their selection although at least three boys were mentiond in this connection. Bailey came to the School in September, 1938. He matricu' lated last june, and this year sat for his Senior Matriculation. During his time at School Bailey has been an active participant in every activity and has always been a keen contestant. 18 This year he was Head Prefect, the best shot in the School, on the First Rugby XV, a member of the Gym VIII, a good boxer, and on the Track Team. He has shown a very definite ability in leadership, and character. He has now joined the R.C.A.F. Our best wishes go with him and we shall follow his future attainments with pride and interest. IN LIGHTER VEIN fAn ingenious, if ingenuous, confusion occurred in an English examination between suppress and repress . I fain would IMPRESS on the fellow who reads That he truly must SUPPRESS his laughterg For inordinate laughter undoubtedly leads To a COMPRESS and sickbed thereafter. But don't be DEPRESSED, let your chuckles come gailv. A man may well REPRESS his clothing. So OPPRESSED by the error in no way was Bailey. The Master EXPRESSED all the loathing. And then there was the little moron who tried to cash a cheque on the Bank off Newfoundland. Poor Fish! ! l Dorm 5 has been collecting little moron stories this year. We understand that the collection is to be published, illustrated by autoreflection. Which member of the Shell read the Blaclcfeet and the Shoshones as the blackfeet and the shoeshinesn? . Which member of Dorm 5 has joined the Charlie McCarthy programme? Is it really advisable to test a lightfsoclcet by putting a.wet finger into it? What did the Brentwood boys say in the Empress Ballroom when the Oreliestrai played Vivzit ? Is it true that the ghost in Harvey House now huins it in swingftime? A large dead mouse was -artistically posed on the pingfpong table in close proximity to a pile of crumbs. Much pleasure was derived by the spectators who watched a certain senior stalk the animal with infinite pains, and even more amusement was derived from his subsequent disillusionment. 19 A CRITICISNI OF A Noiseless, Patient Spider This short poem by Walt Whitman demonstrates to a certain degree his perplexing and unorthodox method of writing poetry. After reading the poetry of the great Romanticists the reader is immediately struck by the extraordinary inequality in the length of the lines and the complete absence of any sort of rythm what' soever. The writer seems to rely completely on the ability of the words and phrases which he has chosen rather than the rythm of the lines to produce an harmonious effect. Even the sternest of critics could never say that the poem itself is superficial in outlook although at times isolated words reflect the type of realism which is playing so much havoc with the poetry of today. It is therefore a poem which the reader will either detest or admire and it is impossible to condemn completely the arguments of either side. But one thing is clear and that is'that the author has made a bold attempt to implant in the midst of Victorian conventionalism a series of enduring classics written in the free style contrary to the well-established laws of meter and rhyming. -PETER WYLLIE., Form VB -1-1 1i...1i. M Y EARLY SCHOOLDAYS I went to school when I was eight And found myself a tempting bait For boys of higher rankg They gave me many a blow and spank. At nine I grew more smart in class, I drilled 'on asphalt, played on grass, Compulsion ruled me all the day, I had no time to go my way. At ten I was more use in school, And learned to like the swimming poolg But still I had my foolish fears And all too often turned on tears. Eleven found that things for me l f Were right as right could be, And though I often did the wrong, Yet mostly I got along. By twelve growth came fast and faster And weaknesses I learned to master. The years roll by not one the same And it seems a grievous shame That many here will meet no more, Those who have to go and win this war. D.

We had a very young and inexperienced team. only one of the i942 Eleven being here this year. However conf siderahle keenness was evinced under the leadership of, first, Slo- combe and, after the election of Captain, of Anderson. A word of sincere commendation is due to Slocombe, not only for his courf ageous batting throughout the season, but also for his devotion to duty during the. early days of the term. Five first eleven matches were played, of which one was won and four lost, one of the latter being hy a narrow margin. The outstanding features in the field were the greatly improved batting of Becltton whose performance has been highly praiseworthy and the excellent bowling of Collett Il who has bowled tirelessly throughout the season, has kept a steady length and has acquired considerable control over the ball. The fielding has not been up to standard this year. Considerable interest and improvement has been developed in the middle levels of the school. Kirk and jones have shewn conf siderable promise with both bat and ball and Stamer gathered thirty runs in a second eleven matchg in a year or so Stamer will learn to bat and the other two will come into their own. Matches were ployed against O.B.H.S. and Glenlyong unfortunately weather ruined the lst eleven match vs. Brentwood. junior cricket has gone on as usual, with enthusiasm, much chatter and some skill. Cornish and Kreger II shew distinct promise and Myers has distinguished himself by his returns from deep field. Four teams were entered for the Clayton Cup which was won by M. Carle's Eleven. 21 The Eleven was as follows: Anderson fcaptj, Slocombe fvice' captj, CarleII, Collett II, Collett I, Redpath, Beckton, Prance, Carle I, Dalziel III, Moilliet I. Morrow deserves a word of praise for the dilligent attention he has devoted to the thankless task of scoring. Colours were awarded to Slocombe ,Beckton and Collctt II. THE Scuoot vs. ROYAL Am Foxes With the exception of Carle II it was an entirely inexperienced eleven that represented the School for the first match of the 1943 season. Consequently, there was considerable nervousness and the batting was marked by a lack of aggressiveness. Carle II batted wellg his running, however, was far from satisfactory and, not unexpec- tedly, he ran himself out. Beckton batted with confidence and made one or two good strokes. Slocombe, who was ActingfCaptain, batted with determination. The School bowling was very weak with the exception of that of CollettII, who bowled well against the luck all the time. The fielding was fair, though there was much room for improvement at square and long leg. Beckton kept wicket and allowed no byes. 1 -C CRICKET XI Dalziel III, Collett I, Carle I, Moilliet I, Prance, Collett II, Carle II, Beckton, Anderson fCaptainJ, Slocombe fVice-Captainj, Redpath 22 UNIVERSITY SCHOOL R.A.F.

The School batted first and found themselves in difficulties with Barton's leg-breaks, Carle II, Slocombe and Anderson being bowled in short order. Beckton batted very well and put a different complexion on the score. He hit one lovely six, picking the ball right off his feet and ovcr the squarefleg boundary. Prance and Redpath added valuable runs with the long handle . Shawnigan passed the School total when the seventh wicket had fallen. The School bowling was weakg Redpath seemed to have little control over the ball and Collett II was never quite good enough to hit the wicket, though his bowling frequently had the batsmen in difficulties. Anderson took four wickets with the assist' anceqof the four batsmen. The bowling was not well handledg Redpath was kept on far too longg more frequent changes at both ends would have met with better luck. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL SHAWNIGAN Carle Il ......... .

SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE The very wet morning of May 22nd gave way to fine weather when the Brentwood eleven came to the School grounds. Slocombe won the toss and fielded first, hoping to have a drier ball. The Brentwood batsmen could do nothing with the bowling of Collett II who began with two and finished with three maidens out of seven overs bowled. Redpath bowled better than beforeg and the side was out for a low total. The fielding was very good. Collett had 3 for 3, Rtdpath 3 for 6 and Dalziel 2 for 0. Slocoinbe soon lost Collett I who poked tlie,ball back into the bowlers hands. Beckton was batting wellg but after hitting a lovely six was l,b.w. to a roundfthefwicket bowler. Carle and Collett II hit off the runs. Carle batted well but was very lethargic between the wickets and threw away more than a dozen runs from his own bat and nearly as many of Collett's. His poor running did much to mar a good innings. The rest of the team had some enjoyable batting practice.

The School team was unfortunate in the weather, but the home side was clearly the better team. Owing to transport diffif culties the first five batsmen had to go on in the first carload from Mill Creek where the team was decanted from the bus and, to economise time, had to bat first without benefit of toss. Beckton batted very well for 31, driving all round the wicket and playing with confidence and style. Collett II was batting well till he drugged his foot over the crease, a fatal error with Hickey behind the wicket. Moilliet and Slocombe batted with courage. The remainder failed dismally. No sooner was the School innings finished than the rain came down and in a few minutes the ball became impossible to hold and the ground too slippery to stand on. Hickey was in great form and punished the bowling unmercifully. The School fielding left much to be desired. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL SHAWNICAN LAKE Carle II -....... Barton ..................

Anderson lost the toss and Brentwood elected to field. Runs came very slowly against the steady bowling of Lammers. The School batting was totally lacking in aggressiveness and Prance and Redpath threw their wickets away with tame and feeble shots. Moilliet ran himself out by calling for a completely non-existent run. While it is true that Carle II and Collett II were both injured, there was no excuse for a vcry poor display. Collett I was the only batsman to shew any courage. With Collett II suffering from a damaged hand which pref vented' him from bowling until late in the game, chances of victory were not rosy. What chances there were were lost by poor fielding and Brentwood soon hit the necessary runs. Later in the game Collett had his hand bandaged and took four wickets for ten runs in five overs. 25 UNIVERSITY SCHOOL I A BRENTWOOD 3 b Slocombe ...... c. Wells, Pitts ......

His batting lacks aggressiveness. Captained the XI and a Clayton Cup team, he still has much to learn in this department. SLOCOMBE--A Cricketer with the true cricket spirit, observant and full of courage. His batting lacks polish, but has been beyond praise as an example to the rest of the team. An excellent fielder. A most valuable vicefcaptain of the XI and a good captain of a Clayton team. CARLE II-Except on one occasion has been most disappointing as a bat. He has style, reach and strength, but he lacks the wilbpower and concentration to give of his best without cessation. 'A very mediocre fielder, full of mistakes which he could very easily remedy. COLLETT II-Has bowled remarkably well throughout the season and, seemingly always against the luck . His steadiness is remarkable for one of his size and years. Against Brentwood he bowled 56 conf secutive balls of which, in all, only two singles were scored. Is making progress with the bat and, as he acquires confidence, will do well. An excellent fielder. ' 26 COLLETT I--Somewhat erratic as a bowler. Bats well and shews promise. Usually a safe fielder. REDPATH-Very keen and has taken great pains with his bowling. His batting is unpolished, but he has a good eye and can make runs when he has enough confidence to take the long handle . BECKTON--His batting has improved out of all knowledgeg bats with courage, confidence and no little styleg deserves considerable praise for bringing out, this year, what was in him. He has kept wicket very well. A most helpful cricketer to those responsible for the organisation of the games. PRANCB-Has batted well at timesg defence very weak and not much knowledge of the right ball to hit out at. CARL? Iii-Has not had a successful season with the bat. A very mediocre iel er. Dalziel III-A courageous bat and a fair bowler who will improve with time. An excellent fielder. MOILLIET I-Can make runs when he chooses to hit. An erratic bowler who should have done much better. A very poor runner between the wickets. THE JOHN THORNE CUP This year for the first time there was presented the john Thorne Cup for the mile. This Cup has been founded in memory of john Oswald Thorne, 1937-1940, who lost his life last August while serving in the R.C.A.F. I During his years at School John was always a vigorous com' petitor in this event, and actually won the race in his last two years. We shall always remember him as a boy of sterling character and a very active and interested participant in all school activities. In 1939 he won the Ker Cup presented annually to the best all'round boy in the Sixth Form. - The Cup has been presented in perpetuity by his mother and his grandfather, Major Thorne. An appropriate shield to record the names of the winners in future years will be placed in the School Dining Room. We- are very grateful to Major and Mrs. Thorne for deciding to adopt this very practical method of perpetuating his memory. CROSS COUNTRY RUN As last year, on account of military activities in the district, the usual course was abandoned and once again the run was actually a ma race. ' It was won by Stephenson I who received the Cup presented by the Old Boys. His brother, Stephenson II, came in second. The best junior was Collett II who, incidentally, was the best junior last year. About sixty boys took the run, including a goodly number of juniors, who, considering their age, gave much promise for the future. 27 BALL i , .1359 .401 T '- . - 1 'X --9 , ees 'T f' I ,.

Of the matches played by the First XV, five were won, one drawn and two lost. The difficulties encountered during the season were many and varied. Cf these the question of transportation was probably the most serious. At least two games in the Easter Term had to be cancelled on this account. And in the same Term, an epidemic of measles prevented Brentwood College from being able to carry on with'their schedule. In general the team was well up to the average. Many of the players were young and there was much promising material and the experience gained will be of great value in the future. Through' out the season the boys played with a splendid spirit which, of course, is the main consideration of the game. At the annual meeting, J. A. Twiss was elected Captain and G. W. Coghlin, VicefCaptain. Both were duly appointed. Twiss left us at the end of the Christmas Term, and his absence made all the difference, particularly in the attack where his aggressive play was of such value. However, Coghlin proved himself a competent Captain for the balance of the season. Coghlin, Bailey, Carle I, Dalziel I and Dalziel II played con' sistently well throughout the season and were awarded their colours. The Ofiicial Team for the season was as follows: J. A. Twiss, Captaing G.W. Coghlin, Vice Captain, R. E. Bailey, D. F. Slocombe, I. K. Dalziel, R. M. Dalziel, R. Carle, W. E. Redpath, J. P. Har' rison, R. G. Dalziel, K. J. Peltz, G. V. G. Prance, M. J. Carle, D. G. Anderson, K. McMurray, and J. A. Kitson fsparej. The Second XV were a good side. In all three games were played ,of which two were won and one lost. There were quite a few promising boys playing for the Second XV this year. Collettl, Collett II, and Bissett are worthy of mention in this connection. 28 4 FIRST FI FTEEN MATCH ES THE Scnooi. -vs. BRBNTWOOD COLLECE The School opened the season at Brentwood College on Octof ber 31. The ground was not very fast and little threefquarter work was possible during the first few minutes. just before halfftimc Dalziel II made a good threefquarter run over the line, and Slocombc converted. Shortly before the whistle blew Pitts put over a penalty kick for Brentwood. The second half of the game opened with a forward rush by Brentwood with Lammers going over the line. Dalziel II, Slocombe and Carle each crossed the line during the second half. Duke put over the final goal for Brentwood. Throughout the game the tack' ling was not of a very high order, and many opportunities were lost because of hesitancy in falling on the ball. The final score was 14f10 for the School. THE SCHOOL vs. O.-xx BAY H1011 Scnoox. A very onefsided game throughout. Dalziel II scored five tries, and Carle, Peltz and Bailey each scored one for the School. Of these two were successfully converted by Carle II. 'The High School backs were inexperienced and their tackling was faulty. A The final score was 28fO for the School. 1 I 7 FOOTBALL XV Anderson, McMurray, Slocombe, Harrison, Carle II, Redpath, Peltz, Prance Dalziel II, Dalziel I, Coghlin fVice'Ci-iptainj, Bailey, Carle I, Kitson Dalziel III '29 THE SCHOOL vs. VICTORIA COLLEGE On November 7 the School played Victoria College at Vic' toria High School. The College Team was far too experienced and too heavy for our Team. There was a good deal of rough play in the loose, and the School backs were too light and easily smothered by the bigger and faster men. Wilson, Smith, and Walker were responsible for the College score. The final score was 12fO for the College. THE SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE On November 14 the School played the return match with Brentwood College on the School grounds. The weather was very unpleasant. The play was even throughout with both teams attacking at intervals. just before halfftime our scrumfhalf, Anderson, man' aged to get over the line, which was the only score in the game. The final score was 3fO for the School. THE SCHOOL vs. SHAWNIGAN LAKE On December 5 the School played their annual match against Shawnigan Lake School. The game was even most of the time and a fine school spirit existed throughout. Thrustful threefquarter work was responsible for the result. In the first few minutes Dal' ziel II made a great run down the sideflines for the first try. Carle II failed to convert, and at halfftime the score was 3'O for the School. During the second half it was Dalziel II again who went over the line and Carle II converted successfully. Shawnigan broke into the score column when Hickey, visiting Captain, made a run round the blind side. Before the end of the game Dalziel II scored again, and before the whistle blew. Dalziel III, showing a good burst of speed, scored the final 'try of the fixture. The final score was 14f3' for the School. THE SCHOOL vs. NAVAL COLLEGE B TEAM This was played on the School grounds on December 12 and was a very vigorous game throughout. The visitors established a 3'O lead in the first half on a try by Hilliard, who went over from a lineout on the School goal line. ' - In the second half the home XB equalized the score when their forwards dribbled over and Coghlin scored. The final score was 3f3. 'l THE SCHOOL vs. NAVAL COLLEGE B TEAM On February 20th the School again played the Naval College B Team on the School grounds. This was a ragged but hard fought game. The School kicked off and after five minutes of play A 30 Dalziel II took the ball from behind a loose scrum and scored. Slof combe failed to convert. The College pressed hard, but were held at bay by some excellent kicking on the part of Dalziel I. just before halftime Kavanah crossed the School line from behind a Sfyard line scrum. The conversion failed. ln the second half most of the play was on the Navy '2Sfyard line. A McPhilips scored a field goal which made the final score 3f7 for the Navy. THE Sci-iooi. vs. BRENTWOOD Cottiscn This game was played on the School grounds on March 6. -It was a forward game throughout and the play was even. The first score was made when Anderson took the ball from the scrum 10 yards from the Brentwood line. Well contested play followed 'with some valuable defence kicking by Redpath. just before halfftime Brentwood scored and converted. In the second half our forwards broke away in a dribble which carried them over the Brentwood line. The final score was 6f5 for the School. SECOND FIFTEEN MATCHES October 31-School vs. Brentwood College at Brentwood, won 9'5. November 14-School vs. Brentwood College, home grounds, won 13fO. , March 6-School vs. Brentwood College, .home grounds, lost 13f8.

KITSON: fsparej A new forward who is developing fast. He is keen and courageous and should be very good in the future. -iii- TENNIS Tennis as usual was a popular game this year. There were about twentyffive entries for the singles and sixteen for the doubles. On account of the Term being so short and the great number of activities going on, the Finals were held quite early in june. Prance won the singles from Collett II and was awarded the Barnacle Cup for the year. The doubles were won by Prance and Beckton against Carle I and Jackson. Considering his age, the most promising player in the School this year was Collett II. There is little doubt that he will be an effective contestant in the future. Athletic socks were awarded to Prance and Beckton, as the usual bag and tennis balls were not available. 32 g.1?'.g:,o? ioiugopf Excl. gasggozngoogrrg ':::s a its o so.o, ,s,, '.,., ',,p' 0.0 'go 'Q 'oo o oo on at o N'Wk5.-fit 'af' igf f . --'?-:g.'.'i--T.-f-9-r A noticeable feature of this year's shooting was the added interest shown throughout the School. Several items were respon' sible for this. First, we were fortunate in having- the invaluable assistance of R. E. Bailey and W. E. Reclpath, who for the past three years have been our most successful shots. Second, a greater percentage of the School took part in the competitions, and, thirdly, more time for practising was indulged in, particularly on Saturday 'evenings when wouldfbe marksmen put in some really serious work at their own expense.

A Sergeant from the R.A.F., a Petty Oflicer of the R.C.N. and Captain Carle acted as judgesg Mr. Cropper was announcer and Mr. Howden timekeeper. Seven bouts were fought of which one was a special weight, fought without medal or title for the benefit of those who had boxed in previous years, but who had been too busy with shooting to 'do much this year. All bouts were well contested and particularly good form was shown by Carle I, Dalziel III and Collett II. A feature of the boxing this year was the good showing of several of those who lost in the preliminaries. Results: Light Heavyweight and School Championship--Carle I beat Carle II. Special Weight-Bailey beat Beckton. .f' Middle Weight-Stephenson I beat Slocombe. Light Weight--Collett II bear Dalziel III. Bantam Weight-Stamer beat Price. Paper Weight-Kirk beat Gordon I. Dust Weight-Cornish beat Kreger II. 34 GYMNASTICS The Competition was held on Friday, April 9. We were indeed fortunate to have Mr. McKinnon to judge again. Twelve boys took part and the work done was of a high standard. As usual there were the compulsory and two choosable exerf cises on each piece of apparatus. Redpath won the Croft Challenge Cup and was accordingly declared to be the Captain of the Gym VIII for this year. The other members of the Eight in order of merit were Bailey, Stamer, Slocombe, Dalziel III QR. GJ, Prance, Collett I and Collett II. The work of the boys this year was particularly meritorious as we were only able to get an instructor for the last three weeks. This was offset, however, by the interest taken by the boys generf ally, and particularly by Redpath, the only remaining member of last year's Gym VIII. We are very much indebted to Mr. McKinnon for his kind' ness in coming year after year to judge the Competition and give us helpful criticism which is such a great aid in future progress. - 1 SWIMMING AND DIVING Despite the difficulties of the fuel situation, the inclement weather and the press of other activities, the Tank has been open as usual this summer term, although the water may not have been as warm as in other years. This year a good deal of swimming was done before breakfast. Heats were decided after Sports Day was over and the Finals pndjune 14th. As so often before, Mr. McKinnon kindly acted as u ge. ' Results were as follows: FREE STYILE: Open, 60 yds.--Time 35 3110 secs. lst, Harrison, 2nd, Dalziel II. FREE STYLE: Under 16, 40 yds.--Time 25115 secs. lst, Dalziel III, 2nd, Beckton.

Inter-High School Track Meet, in which a team from the School took part, was held at Victoria High School on the afternoon of june 7. There was keen competition from the Royal Naval College, Brentwood College and four, High Schools. The School Team did very well, finishing third in total points. Dalziel II won the 4,40 Yards, establishing a record time of 53 1X5 seconds, as well as coming second in the 220 Yards. Red' path came second in the 120 Yards Hurdles, and the School relay team gained third place. On Thursday, June 9, the Team visited the Royal Canadian Naval College for a friendly Meet with the Cadets andxBrentwood College. There were some sailing and rowing events in which our Team did not compete. In view of this, our final score of points was very creditable: Brentwood College, 19, R. C. N., 16, and Univerf sity School, 15. On that day the Team took three firsts, two seconds, and ai third in the relay. To Dalziel I1 must go credit for gaining most ol' the points. . The Team consisted of Dalziel I, Dalziel Il, DzilzielIII, Carle 1, Harrison, Stephenson I, Bailey, Redpath and Moilliet I. x 36 THE CADET CORPS The following appintments were sanctioned by the Headmaster: Cadet Captain .... .... -.. .... , ......................... -., .... -.- ....... - .... - ........

Redpath To the above must go the credit for having brought the Corps successfully through another year fraught with more than custom' ary diiculties. Whether or not we shall attain as high a position as we did last year--first place on Vancouver Island and fifth in British Columbia-isa matter of conjectureg but it is encouraging to note that a provisional report just received reads: The Corps gave one of the smartest parades I have seen this year. They are very keen and have worked hard. Apart from the usual routine drill, the Signalling and First Aid classes, a considerable amount of time had to be devoted to such subjects as Field Craft, Wood Craft, and Map Reading. The latter called for a written examination which was held towards the end of the Easter Term. Cadet Cpl. Ogle distinguished himself by heading the School with 93W. , We are greatly indebted to three Old Boys, M. A. Vernon, G. D. Corry and T. Moilliet, who visited us at various times during the year and bolstered our morale with timely advice and technical knowledge. V The Band, despite a loss of 70W of its original members, once again proved itself indispensable and helped to instil vigor and life into the Corps' marching. Cadets Capt. Coghlin, Lieut. Bailey and Band Sgt. Carle are to be commended for thir untiring efforts while training the would' be musicians. A special word of praise is due to the youngest mem' ber of the Band--Hughes-who, two days before the Annual Inspection was drafted into the Band, complete with cymbals, and proceeded to fill the position with the skill of a veteran. On May 13th, Major Critchley, GSO. 3, Pacific Command, accompanied by Sgt. Bailey, inspected the Corps. The order of the Ceremony was very similar to that of previous years, there being the General Salute, March Past, Company, Platoon, Section and Field Drill, followed by Physical Training and a short Gym Display. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Major Critchley com' mented most favourably on the general turnout and eiliciency of the Corps, and warmly' congratulated those who had borne the respon' sibilities ofthe year's training. 37 ,. . f, .,,, ,, a Lal, ', 5,9 H QI 'b ,,,f ., f , 'HT' 1 .gf-':.-f-,'. , , r MVA , , -'?

Griffiths, the Cadet Corps and junior members of the School were privileged to refenact the Corps Service instituted last year. Taking as his text I Cor.

Among the hymns sung were, O God, Our Help in Ages Past, O Wor' ship the Lord, and Onward, Christian Soldiers. To those who are leaving the School we wish the very best of luck and trust that the training they have received here will be of material use to them in the years to come. i-1 THE BAND 39 THE SCHOOL ROLL September 1942 - June 1943 J.

The President and Secretary are to be congratulated on the excellent arrangements. 1 . Following the usual pleasantries, the President called the Meet' ing to order and gave his report in which he made several construe' tive suggestions regarding the Association and the School. The Secretary reported a substantial balance in hand and referred to the fact that we now have a large and everfgrowing list of life members. The Headmaster gave an outline of the activities and achievements of the School during the past year, which was received with much interest by those present. In the election of ofhcers, the President, Mr. J. '-Howard Har' man, and the Honorary SecretaryfTreasurer, Mr. C. L. Bernard, were both re'elected.

For Matchless Gallcmtry and Inspiring Leadership . . .' ' Col.. M1zRR1T'r's CITATION ' For matchless gallantry and inspiring leadership whilst com' mancling his battalionduring the Dieppe raid August 19, 1942. From the point of landing his unit's advance. had to be made across 44 a bridge in Pourville which was swept by very heavy machinefgun, mortar and artillery fire and the first parties were mostly destroyed and the bridge thickly covered by their bodies. A daring lead was required. Waving his helmet Lt.fCol. Merritt rushed forward shouting, 'Come on over. There is nothing to worry about here.' He thus personally led the survivors of at least four parties in turn across the bridge. Quickly organizing these he led them forward and when held up by enemy pill boxes he again rushed ahead and succeeded in clearing them. In one case he himself destroyed the occupants of the post by throwing grenades into it. After several of his runners became casualties he himself kept contact with his different positions. Although twice wounded, Lt.fCol. Merritt continued to direct the unit's operations with great vigor and determination and while organizing the withdrawal he stalked a sniper with a Bren gun and silenced him. ' He Lhen coolly gave orders for the departure and announced his intention to hold off and 'get even with' the enemy. When last seen he was collecting Bren and Tommy guns and preparing a defensive position which successfully covered the with' draiwali from the beach. s' Lt.'Col. Merritt is now reportedto he a prisoner of war. To this commanding oflicer's personal daring the success of his unit's operation and the safe re-embarkation of a large portion of it were chiefly duef' ' l'liUlVlUTlONS W. R.
