W' EDITORIAL Another year has rolled by and once again the usual round of activities has been completed and must be recorded in the Black and Red. The year has been a difficult one in many and varied ways. We have had a healthy increase in our enrolment, but the boys have been younger and it becomes increasingly difficult to main' tain all our school activities as in previous years. Nevertheless, there has been no deterioration of effort, and the spirit in the School has been excellent. Another group of boys leave us this year, and our hope is that in the years to come they will look back on their school life with a sense of gratitude and pleasant memories, and that they will find the lessons they have learned here of value Whether they find themselves fighting the battles of war or those of peace. No doubt many of their names will bel added to the everfgrovving list of Old Boys who are serving their King and Country in the Allied Forces. This year, as in all years, we have had our sadder side. The passing of old friends and Qld Boys must be remembered. Last january the School lost one of its oldest masters in length of service in the person of Mr. P. Fletcher, M.A., who had been identified with the School from time to time since 1919. We greatly miss his jovial and unique personality as a colleague. Last August another former master, Mr. L. G. Tolson, BA., passed on. Although not identified with the School since 1920, Mr. Tolson will be remembered with affection by many boys of his time. Ever since the invasion of Italy a large number of Old Boys have been fighting in this area, and a still larger group are now in the forefront of the battle in France. We remember them all in our hearts and pray daily for their safe return. To each and all, Wherever they may be, we send our greetings and good wishes, assuring them of our endeavour to keep the honour and character of the School as high and untarnished as they are trying to keep the honour of our Country. G. H. S. 5' SCHOOL NOTES Our thanks are due to Messrs. Skillings, George, Peers, Miller, Old Boys, and Doswell and McKinnon, all of whom acted as offif cials on Sports Day. Congratulations are due to Dalziel I as Senior Champion in Sports. Collett- II and Fraser are to be congratulated as Inter' mediate and junior Champions, respectively. Dalziel I set up a new record of IO lf? for the IOO Yards Open. Congratulations are also in order to Kitson and Beckton on being joint winners of the Ker Cup, to Clifford on winning the Don Chapman Cup, to Braide on winning the Cross Country Race and to Stephenson I on again winning the John Thorne Cup. . Congratulations are due to Mr. Cropper, Cadet Captain Kitson, and Officers and N.C.O.'s, for their painstaking work with the Cadet Corps. Sgt. Maior Beckton and Wyllie, and our Band Sgt., Carle, should also be mentioned in this connection. We are grateful to Mr. E. Redpath of Vancouver for the gift of two 12flb. put shots for the use of the Track Team. News comes occasionally from Mr. Bolton, who is still in Tahiti. Mr. Bolton in his last letter tells us that he is about to celebrate his eightyffifth birthday by repeating the walk which he took on his eightyffourth, forty miles heel and toe on the high' way. On the previous occasion he performed his selffappointed task in fifteen hours. An article has appeared in the Atlantic Monthly describing Mr. Bolton's way of life in Tahiti. Congratulations are due Beckton and Dalziel II who have been selected to play for the Rep Team fCricketj vs. Vancouver. From time to time during the Summer term the air has been filled with flying arrows. Apparently the chief exponents seem to be Carle and Beckton. Mr. Cropper has spent many hours making and mending arrows and bowstrings. Thanks are due to Mr. Cupples who has most generously erected a drinking fountain in the lower passage of the School House. Also to Mr. Carle for so kindly acting as Range Officer in thc Shooting Competitions. 6 The Spirit of Mount Tolmie refuses to die. Although the blades have worn out beyond repair and although new blades are not procurable under present conditions, the Spirit is still to be seen circumnavigating the field towing five Cherubim for young Spiritsj in the shape of handleless lawn mowers. It was truly pleasant to see John Boak and John Young on Speech Day, both safely home for the time being from service overf seas. We are grateful to Richard Carle for his assistance with knot' tying just before inspection day. A room insulated against gas has been provided and furnished in the Harvey House. ACADEMIC RESULTS H JUNE, 1943 The results of the Matriculation Examinations were very creditable indeed. J. A. Kitson headed the list of Junior Matriculants.

Gordon FOUNDER'S DAY The 37th Anniversary of the founding of the School was observed as usual on October 7. Following morning prayers, the Headmaster gave a detailed account of the incidents that led up to the formation of the School, its growth, difficulties, and achieve' ments through the years. He stressed the motives which promoted the foundation and urged the boys so to conduct themselves that they might indeed be worthy of their heritage that had been handed down to them. He asked them especially to remember the Old Boys, now in the forefront of the battle in the different war areas. Cheers were then called for the Headmaster and the Old School. ARMISTICE or REMEMBRANCE DAY Following the usual custom, the School held its own Com' memoration Ceremony at 10:45 a.m. in the Front Hall of the School House. The Reverend, the Headmaster, conducted the Service, which was attended by all the boys and members of the Staff. The names of some eightyffour 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. The laying of the School Wreath 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 Trumpeters of the Cadet Corps, after which all boys filed past the Honour Roll. 9 SPEECH DAY Thursday, june 20, was the occasion of the thirtyfeighth Annual Speech Day and Prize Giving at University School. A large gather- ing of parents, Gld Boys, and friends of the School assembled in the Gymnasium for the ceremony. The proceedings opened with prayers and the reading of the Scripture lesson, after which the Headmaster welcomed all those present and gave his report of the activities of the past year, asking for a moment of silence in remembrance of those Old Boys who were serving in the forefront of battle and for those who had fallen. In his report the Headmaster stated that hundreds of Old Boys were serving in all branches of His Majesty's Forces, and that no less than twentyfsix had already paid the supreme sacrifice. Thirteen decorations including one V.C. had been awarded to Old Boys of the School. At the conclusion of his report he thanked the Masters and Staff for their help and cofoperation during the year, and then called upon the Lord Bishop of British Columbia to address the assembly and present the prizes. The Bishop congratulated the Headmaster and the School on their past year's work and also referred to the wonderful record of service established by the Old Boys. He told of the ring of Louis IX of France which was engraved God, France, Margaret and from this example spoke to the boys of the triple duty of loyalty to God, to Country and to home. The Bishop's address was followed by a speech of thanks from Mr. F. E. Winslow, Chainnan of the Board of Governors, and a few words of greeting on behalf of the Old Boys from Mr. R. B. Matthews, President of the Old Boys Association. Among the many present were representatives of the Govern' ing Body, and two Old Boys, John Boak and john Young, were welcomed from service overseas. The day was noteworthy for the first presentation of the Don Chapman Cup for the Best Boy in the School under fourteen. The Lord Bishop then presented the academic prizes as follows: S1-,ell A-D, Davisgn Form IVa-E. Eckstrorn, D. Sta' mer and R. Harrison. Shell BwT. Clifford Form Allin and Shell CH-I. Barker S- Atkins Form Ivbml. Pacey Form Va- P. Wyllie Form VI-D. Braide and R. Stephenson. 10 The Clayton Cup for intrafmural cricket was presented to Collett I's Eleven. The Don Chapman Cup for the best boy under fourteen was presented to M. Clifford. The Ker Cup for the best boy in the School was presented to I. A. Kitson and A. C. Beckton, who were adjudged equal. The Drawing Prize went to L. Whit' tome: and the Senior and Junior Scripture Prizes to D. Morant and W. Kreger, respectively. The Headmaster's Awards to Prefects was made to A. G. Beckton, R. F. Stephenson and P. F. Collett. The ceremony concluded by the singing of the School Song and National Anthem, after which tea was served to the Guests and friends. D SPORTS DAY Sports Day this year, the thirtyfeighth in the history of the School, was held on June 3rd, The weather had not been propitf ious during the week but Sports Day itself was quite perfect in this respect. A large number of parents, Old Boys and friends of the School assembled to witness the events. All year it had been a question whether Dalziel I could break the record for the Hundred, a record which had been equalled but never beaten since 1912. To the delight of everyone he did so and the new record stands at 10115 seconds. After the last race the spectators and competitors gathered round the School steps for the presentation of prizes by Mr. F. E Winslow, Chairman of the Board of Governors. The Headmaster, in introducing the guest of honour, said that we looked on Mr. Winslow rather as a friend of the School than as Chairman of the Board, and commented on the long and kindly interest of Mr. Wins' low in the welfare of the School. Mr. Winslow then addressed the gathering, touched on the Academic successes of the School, especially the fact that the School had sent six Cadets to the R.C.N.C. last year, congratulated the boys on their athletic sue' cesses of the day, and spoke of the Headrnaster's long and devoted service to the School.

Bolton from Tahiti since the publication of our last issue will be of interest to many of our Old Boy readers: . . As to my physical condition I would add that lately to celebrate my Sith birthday I called upon the members of my body to convey me-like a Chinese Mandarin in his palanquin-an Extra' Special jaunt. I asked them to double their usual ramble and make this one 40 miles, i.e. 64 kilometers as noted on numbered stones along the highway. Twenty miles from my bungalow there is one where dwells a fellow Englishman. We started early, 3a.m., and at 10a.m. we were having a snack with his astonished self: then, turning at noontide, we headed home, reaching it in another 8 hours. I told them that I was well pleased with their performance and that I should be full content to leave them for good and all with 40 miles in 15 hours as their record in Old Age. I might add that their chief early performance on the highways of the Homeland was 60 miles in 20 hours: a private test for me which my professional and trained companion and I resolutely kept out of the Sporting pages of that day. It was my 25th birthday. I fancy that these together with a British Athletic Championship and a Cambridge Blue are quite enough to satisfy even so lifelong a lover and practical folf lower of athleticism as myself. The 40 miles were made under a blazing sun from sunrise to sunset and neither blistered feet nor stiffened limbs were the results. OLD BOY SUCCEEDS TO 300-YEAR-OLD BARONETCY C. C. CavefBrownefCave f1908f1912j has succeeded to an ancient Baronetcy on the death of his uncle, Sir Rowland Henry CavefBrownefCave, who passed away recently in London, England. Although Sir Clement CavefBrownefCave and Lady Cave were aware that in all probability he would succeed to the title. news of the event in a press dispatch from London on December 23 came as a surprise in the midst of their preparations for Christmas. Lady Cave is the former Dorothea Dwen of Chicago and New Orleans. They have one son, Robert, aged fourteen, who is now in direct line of succession to the baronetcy. Born in Winnipeg, Sir Clement attended University School from 19084912 and has spent most of his life in Canada since com' pleting his business training in various centres of the United States. 1 S ' In the Great War, at the age of eighteen, he went overseas with the 196th Western University Battalion, served in France with the 46th Battalion, GEF., and later transferred to the Royal Air Force. The family, which is of Norman extraction, is one of the most ancient in the British Isles. From a pedigree prepared and certified by the Garter King'offArms in 1632, it appears to be derived from one jordan de' Cave, who received from his brother, Wyamarus de Cave, the estates of North Cave and South Cave, in the County of York, which had been granted to the latter by William the Conqueror in 1080. The first baronet, Sir Thomas Cave, was so created in 1641, for distinguished service in the Civil Wars. He married Penelope, second daughter and cofheir of Thomas, Viscount Wenman, of the kingdom of Ireland. The name of Browne came into the family in 1675 through th: marriage of the second baronet with the daughter of John Browne, of Eydon, Northamptonshire, Clerk of the Parliaments. John CavefBrowne who inherited the Stretton estate from his grand' father, William Browne of Stretton, County Derby, took the name of Browne by Act of Parliament in 1752. The ninth baronet, Sir William CavefBrownefCave, born in 1765, assumed the additional surname of Cave.

M. Dalziel 16 J. A. KITSON A. G. BECKTON THE KER CUP The award of the Ker Cup marks the highest honour the School can bestow. lt indicates in those who receive it a degree of promise which it is hoped will be an incentive to higher accom' plishments in manhood. Perhaps more than anything else it is a token of confidence that those to whom it is given will prove them' selves in every respect worthy representatives of the boys of the School and what the School stands for. The winning of the Ker Cup is a great achievement in itself, but, the fulfilment of the responsibility which is undertaken by its acceptance calls for still greater. ln making a joint award this year we believe that both recipients are capable of great achievement The Cup was awarded jointly to Kitson and Beckton. Both boys since coming to the School have shown promising indication of strength of character and leadership, and in their capacity as Prefects have wielded a wholesome influence throughout the School. Kitson entered the School in 1937. His academic achievements have been well above average. He has finished his school career at 17 the age of seventeen and a half, having completed his Junior and Senior Matriculation. He is a candidate for the Royal Canadian Naval College and hopes to be in attendance there next September. During the past year he has been O.C. Cadet Corps, a member of the First Cricket XI, a sturdy forward on the 'First Rugby XV, and a long distance runner on the Track Team. Beckton entered the School in 1940. His academic ability is well up to the average for he is sixteen and is completing his Junior Matriculation this June. This year he was quite outstanding as Sgt. Major of the Cadet Corps, a valuable forward of the First Rugby XV, Captain of the Cricket XI, and a member of the Shooting VIII. We are looking forward to having him back with us next year to complete his Senior Matriculation. IN LIGHTER VEIN QSome remarkable fielding has evidently crept into the classrooms, for the following extracts were found in discarded note'books.j From the VIth- Our fielding is a sleep and a forgetting: The catch that rises to us, our great chance, Hath elsewhere had its batting, And cometh from the bat: Not in entire unconsciousness And not in utter hopelessness, But spreading hands of valor do we try To send the batsman home. From the Vth, who have been doing a course of Modern? Poetry- the modern poet writes his verse and even Form V couldn't do worse fbut, if I were really modern, badder I'd say: for worse rhymes and it is madder or realistic not to rhmej. grand he drops his fingers 18 twisted like the vine which lingers on the bland blue oak. he has anticipated just that stroke so there on the level of his knee low he breaks its twittering elasticfshuddering flightg not only saves a four or three but, darkhaired Wight, brings off a eatehg is praised most highlyg though he grins and grins and still is . . . silly Midfvvicket. Form IV has this Plaint-- The ball is as round as a hole in the ground, And hitting tofday is the crazeg But silly MidfWieket is up to each trick. It Can never find him in a daze. The pitch may be humpy And bumpy and lumpy: But any catch does for P. The Shell does it this way- Peter played a cricket match On the level ground. Peter got a little catch. Peter's hands were sound.

L CRICKET, 1944 The 1944 XI was weaker than had been expected for Anderf son, last year's captain, went back to England at Easter time and Carle, whose batting was beginning to show great promise last year, was unable to play at all owing to a damaged tendon. However the XI played with courage and spirit and won 3 matches out of 6 played. In order to add to the bowling strength Beckton gave up the wicketfkeepefs position to Stanley, but, in general, the out' standing features of the season were Stephenson's jovial batting, Wyllie's fielding and the marked improvement in the fielding of Kitson. Congratulations are due to these three boys. Beckton was Captain of the XI: Collett II was Vicefcaptain: no colours were awarded. The Clayton Cup was played for as usual. There were four XI's in the competition and Collett's XI won from those of Beck' ton, Dalziel II and Collett II. The First XI was as follows: Beckton, Collett I, Collett II, Dalziel II, Stephenson, Wyllie, Kitson, Morant, Stamer, Stanley, Opie. The 2nd XI played 4 matches, won 2 and lost 2. Under the very good captaincy of Kirk, the team worked well together and played their games in the proper spirit. The Znd XI was as follows: Kirk, Jones, Riley II, Whittome, Pacey, Cox, Duke, Clark I, Clifford I, Myers, Harrison. The Junior XI played two matches of which they lost both. The following made up this team: Fraser, Livingstone, Gordon II, Brown, Skillings, Kreger II, Hodgkinson, Highes, Pearson, Davif son, Henley. A word of praise and thanks is due to Morrow, who was the faithful and accurate scorer for the first eleven. 20 Although they did not secure a place on the teams as finally constituted, the following boys represented the School in matches: for the First XI-Watt, Braide. for the Second Xl-Moilliet, Fraser, Eckstrom, Opie. . for the Juniors-Barker II, McCollum. A SURVEY OF THE SECOND ELEVEN As is usual with second XI's, the spirit of the game has been much more lighthearted than is the case with the more serious seniors. Nevertheless the second XI this year has shewn more prom' ise of real cricketers than usual. Kirk has shewn himself to be a most efficient captain, always on the alert and ready to move his field or change his bowling with discretion and decision. His batting has been consistently good and shows signs of being 'really valuable in years to come. jones has bowled well and batted with polish and style. His footwork and forward play are an example and he has the usual facility of the leftfhander for playing on the leg side combined with many good shots on the off. Experience and effort will make him a useful player. Whittome has bowled with perseverance and will improve: and Pacey, who will be an excellent fielder when he overcomes his lethargy, is learning to bowl. Clark I and Clifford I, two newcomers to the game, have made great strides after praiseworthy effort. Riley II has been invaluable as a wicketfkeeper. ln this respect it is noteworthy that Brown, who kept wicket for the Juniors, shows much promise. Cn the whole it would seem that there will be little difficulty in filling the gaps in the first XI of 1945. CHARACTERS OF THE FIRST XI. BECKTGN-Has had a most unfortunate season with the bat, but proved himself a useful medium paced bowler. A painstaking and conf scientious' captain. COLLETT ll-Except in one match his bowling was most disappointing: an inclination to take things too easily led to a great falling off from his standard of last year. His batting shews promise as yet unfulfilled: must learn to deal with the off ball. COLLETT I-An erratic bowler: good at times but careless of his length. Batted well, but not favored by luck. DALZIEL ll-Has not come on in bowling as he should have done: is care' less of length and neglects practice. A forcing bat, at times success- fully. An excellent fielder. WYLLIE-An improving bat. An excellent fielder. STEPHENSON-A forceful bat with a good eye and lots of courage. KITSCN-Has shewn signs of improvement and greater enterprise with the bat. A greatly improved fielder. 21 CRICKET XI Stamer, Wyllie, Stephenson, Morant, Kitson, Opie Collett I, Stanley, Beckton fcaptj, Collett II, Dalziel II MORANT-A useful change bowler. Not much use with the bat: lacks energy and alertness in the field. STANLEY-Is improving as a wicketfkeeper, but needs more experience in the intricacies of the game. STAMER-A courageous young batsman who will improve with experience. Should be more alert in the field. OPIE-A very disappointing bat: he has plenty of ability, but lacks conf centration and a realisation of the need for effort. A poor fielder and a very bad runner between the wickets.

Owing to the fact that two of the first weeks of the term were devoted to Cadet work for the Inspecf tion, the School was short of practice. The team was further weakened by the absence of Carle who was on crutches and unable to play. Beckton lost the toss and Shawnigan elected to bat first. The two Colletts opened the bowling. Ling, batting for Shawnigan, had the misfortune to slip while making a run and was run out. Everest went in front of a swinging ball from Collett II and prospects began to look good for the School. From then on, however, the bowling lost all sting and the fielding became very poor with many wild throwfins. Macdonald and Edmunds found everything very much to their liking and the former was not out at the close for an excellently played 54. Macdonald declared the Shawnigan innings closed at 109 for 7. ' Upie and Collett I opened for the School and the latter was run out almost immediately. Beckton was batting with confidence, but did not stay long. Stephenson hit a few and was then brilliantly caught by the wicketfkeeper. None of the other batsmen made any impression on the bowling of Ling and Macdonald, with the excepf tion of Qpie who played a courageous and patient innings, being eighth man out: his calling and his running left much to be desired, but these are faults which time will correct.

C. The game was played on the School ground on May 13th. Beckton won the toss and elected to field. Collett II opened the bowling and, keeping an excellent length throughout, came out with the fine analysis of six for twelve in seven overs. A judicious change by Beckton gave Morant a chance to take two wickets. The bowling at the other end was poor, as neither Dalziel nor Collett I could find a length. The fielding was 23 very good, Wyllie and Opie both holding fine catches. To dismiss the side for 53 runs was a meritorious performance. Opie was batting well when he had the misfortune to back into his wicket and Collett I was well caught at midfoff. Beckton chose the wrong one to hit atg but Stephenson, oblivious of what ball should be hit and what should be played, hit everything that came his way and made a courageous effort, excellently supported by Dalziel. VKitson batted well and was unfortunate to be run out by a straight throwfin. ALBIONS THE SCHOOL Freeman i.i...... b Collett II ............

An experiment was tried in this match which answered well. Beckton gave up the wicket for the first time in two years and gave the gloves to Stanley who justified his selection by letting only two byes, though his handling of the ball was not as good as Beckton's. Beckton bowled well and took five wickets for fifteen runs. The School fielding was not up to the usual standard and the batting, except Wyllie's, was poor.

Brentwood batted first and scored 103 with great ease: their batting was vigorous which severely punished a series of slow longf hops from Collett I and Dalziel. Collett II was unable to do any' thing worthwhile with the ball. There were nine byes and three wides. The School batsmen appeared to be giving Brentwood catching practice: Beckton hit three 4's and a 3 and Wyllie batted with some style: otherwise it was a dismal procession.

The morning was wet and overcast, but, by the time that the games began, the sky had cleared and the weather was lovely. In the first eleven match, Shawnigan batted first. Collett II was not doing much with the ball, though the heavy atmosphere should have enabled him to swing the ball -considerably and after two overs Beckton put himself on, changing to Morant at the other end at the same time. Morant was lucky to get Macdonald, who is a good bat, lbw with his first and worst ball. The School fielding behind the wicket was very poor, Morant being unable to keep his feet: but two catches by Stamer at second slip redeemed this and the Shawnigan side was out for 5 5. Opie and Kitson opened for the School and the former was soon bowled by a sitter and Collett I did not stay long. Beckton had a remarkable innings, attempting almost every way of getting out, but for the first time this season luck was with him and he collected 11 runs. Stephenson hit merrily and Dalziel was steadily adding to his total and the score had reached 54 when Stanley came in last man to receive the last four balls of Payne's over. It is doubtful who was the most nervous person on the field, but Stanley did not fail and hit a two through the covers from his first ball. Dalziel proceeded to clinch the victory by hitting a five, a fitting conclusion to a fine performance. The School second eleven lost to the Shawnigan team by 29 to 55. Jones, Harrison and Myers made runs for the losers and Whit' tome took five wickets for 23.

CLIFFORD THE DON CHAPMAN CUP This year, for the first time, there was presented the Don Chapman Cup for the best all round boy in the School under fourteen, on a basis of character, scholarship and athletics. The Cup has been founded in memory of FC. Don Hugh Chapman f193Of1933j who lost his life early in 1943 while serving in the R.C.A.F. During his years at School Don proved himself to be a boy of average academic ability, and a keen and interested competitor in all School activities. But chiefly we shall always remember him as a boy of sterling character and pleasant personality. The Cup has been presented and endowed by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chapman of Edmonton. An appropriate shield to record the names of the winners in future years has already been installed in the front hall of the School House. 27 The first winner was M. L. Clifford, who was presented with the Cup on Speech Day. We were glad to have with us on that occasion Don's brother, R. W. Chapman 1193019331 who wit- nessed the presentation. We are very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Chapman for deciding to adopt this very practical method of perpetuating his memory. CROSS COUNTRY RUN The race for the Cld Boys' Cup was run over the road course which has temporarily replaced the usual course, owing to Army occupation of the land at Gordon Head, on Wednesday, March 29th. Almost everyone in the School took part, only one or two being excused for lameness or lack of inches. The race was won by Braide in 25 min. Kitson was a close second, being only a quarter of a minute behind the winner. Steph' enson, last year's winner, fell out early in the race owing to a leg injury incurred in a match some weeks previously. Kreger II was the first junior to finish. The Headmaster and Mr. Bernard acted as starters and judges. 28 EHLQ k m , X --Q aa, Y - 'NDN f' WA - A ' . - ' 'X . - . f, 1. ,f i ., , . +41 Y wwf' , I V., I , Ar R Q W, ln ng UP ,J ,f 15jqni 1fQ'5',ffm..-gffe' 141 ' ' ' 'f '-' It .

RUGBY FOOTBALL, 1943-44 At the beginning of the season we found ourselves with five of last year's team, three of whom at least were experienced players. The ground was fairly hard and it was some time before any intenf sive practice could be had. At a meeting held early in Cctober Anderson was elected and appointed Captain. As the season progressed it soon became evident that although the team was undoubtedly fairly strong in the fowvard line, our back line with the exception of one threefquarter was made up of boys who were really not heavy enough and not thrustful enough in the attack. We were more unfortunate than usual this year in having a number of casualties. It was seldom, if ever, that we had all our First Team in play. We played ten matches in all, won four and lost six. As a whole the team played hard and with a good spirit, which, of course, is the main consideration of the game, but they were usually outweighed by their opponents. Dalziel I was the only last year's Colour on the Team, and his rugged and speedy attacks were a great strength to the Team. Colours for the season were awarded to Kitson, Dalziel II, Anderson and Bissett. The Team for 194344 was as follows: D. C. Anderson fcaptj, R. M. Dalziel, M. J. Carle, J. A. Kitson, R. C. Dalziel, A. C. Beck' ton, W. M. Riley, H. C. Stanley, P. F. Collett, R. W. Bissett, T. B. Watt, R. C. MacDonald, T. H. Oxland, N. D. Briggs, and D. 1. Collett. ln addition to the First XV matches, the Second XV played twice against Cak Bay High School, losing rather badly. 29 'H ' ' ' -fy. 'F'-V f ' ' .- .' . -1 I aifii. ' 1 ' - .

We experienced difficulty in finding outside oponents. Cnly Brentwood College provided any opposition and even they found it difficult to comply with the weight stipulation. Our Juniors won one match 11f6, and lost three, 3f14, 3f8, and Of21. Some fine talent was noticed among the Juniors however. All who played worked hardg Fraser, Myers, Kirk and Payne being conspicuous among the for' wards, and Clifford I on the scrum half, and Duke in the three' quarter line. Harrison, Price, Atkins, and Pacey had to be dropped at Christmas, having gone over the weight limit. FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES - THE SCHOOL vs. VICTORIA COLLEGE The School opened the season with a practice game played on the School grounds on October 23. The ground was fairly hard and a fast game resulted, the outcome of which was an 8f6 win for the College. The play rested mainly with the forwards for the first half of the game and the score at half time was 3fO for the College after a break through from the School Zifyard line. The second half opened with two clean threefquarter runs by the School, Dalziel I going over the line on both occasions. Neither try was converted. For the remainder of the game the play was 30 chiefly a 'forward game, and the next College score was the result of a free kick against the School and a try scored from a loose scrum on the School Sfyard line. The final score was 8f6 for the College. THE SCHOOL vs. THE NAVAL COLLEGE This game was played on October 30 on the fast grounds of the Naval College. The College had a much heavier and somewhat faster team than the School. Our threefquarter line was weak, but it was not until just before half time that Cox from the College broke through from a lineout on the School 'ifyard line to make the first score. McLean failed to make the conversion. In the second half the School play became ragged and the for' wards were not up on the ball. Two more tries were made by McLean and Bell'Irving. Both conversions failed. The final score was 9fO for the Naval College. THE SCHOOL vs. GAK BAY HIGH SGHooL This game was played on the home grounds on November 3. The School while having a slight superiority in the scrum was very weak in the threefquarter line, and thus was forced to play mainly a forward game. For the first half the School was forced almost entirely on the defensive. Three tries were scored by Oak Bay High School and one of these converted. In the second half the School rallied a good deal. The only try scored by the School was made by Stephenson who fell on a loose ball behind the Oak Bay line. Carle successfully converted. The final score was 1145 for Oak Bay High School. THE SCHOOL vs. BRENTwooD COLLEGE This game was played at Brentwood on a very fast ground on November 13. Brentwood took the kick off, but was gradually forced back into their own Zifyard area. Carle took a penalty kick from the Brentwood 25fyard line and scored, and a few minutes later Pitts made good a similar kick for Brentwood, tying the score. Shortly afterwards Dalziel I went over the line after a '50-yard run. 'The conversion failed. The first half of the game closed with Brentwood going over the line twice. One try was converted. The score at half time was 11f6 for Brentwood. Play in the second half was very hard indeed and there was no scoring for the first fifteen minutes. Ultimately Lewis of Brent' wood broke through the line, but the try was not converted. The final score was 14f6 for Brentwood College. 31 THE SCHOOL vs. THE NAVAL COLLEGE This game was played on the home grounds under ideal conf ditions of both ground and weather on November 27. It was a very hard game throughout. The School kicked off, but during the first half were very hard pressed. Only once was a near score made from a 5'yard scrum near the Navy line. At half time there was no score. In the' second half the College relied more on their forward runs and dribbles than on any large scale threefquarter runs. These dribbles were successfully broken up by the hard work of the School forwards, who, although outfweighted, had some success in getting the ball back to their threes. The School threefquarters played a hard game and gained much ground by well placed kicks. The only score of the game was made by Dalziel I after an excellent run of about 60 yards. The Navy tried hard to regain these points and the School was frequently forced back to their own 25'yard area. The final score was 3fO for the School. THE SCHOOL vs. SHAWNICAN LAKE The Team journeyed to Shawnigan this year to play the game on December 4. The ground was quite soft and somewhat slippery. Shawnigan won the toss and kicked off facing down hill. It soon became evident that the School, while superior in the threefquarters, was experiencing difficulty in the forward line. The first score for the School was made when Dalziel II went over the line after a run of about 25 yards. The try was not converted. A few minutes later a free kick was awarded to the School in front of the Shawnigan goal, but the kick failed. The score at half time was 6fO for the School. The School kicked off down hill in the second half. The for' wards became more effective in the loose and the ball reached the threefquarters with great regularity. Collett 11 scored twice, Carle, Anderson and Dalziel II each once. Only one of these tries was converted. The final score was 23-f0 for the School. - THE SCHOOL vs, BRENTWOOD COLLEGE This was played on February 5, the first game of the Easter Term on the School grounds which were moderately hard and in good condition for a three'quarter game. Brentwood won the toss and kicked off up hill. There was no score for the first 15' minutes, but ultimately one of the Brentwood threefquarters broke away on the School 'lifyard line and scored. The conversion was made good. A few minutes later the School made their only score when Dalziel I went over the line after a long run. The try was not converted and the first half closed with a score of 5f3 for Brentwood. 32 The School took the kick off at the beginnig of the second half In a few minutes a Hght drizzle had made both ball and ground slippery and the play rested with the forwards. Brentwood were better in the loose and kept the play in School territory for most of the second half. One more try was made by Brentwood from a short run. The final score was 8f3 for Brentwood. THE SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE This game, the third of the season, was played at Brentwood on February 19. The ground was in excellent condition for a good fast game. For the first few minutes the play was very hard indeed for both teams. Eventually Dalziel I scored after a 50 yard three' quarter run for the School. The conversion failed. About ten min' utes later Dalziel I scored again, but again Carle failed to make the extra points. just before half time Collett II dribbled the ball over the line and a number of School forwards fell on it. During the first half Brentwood had only once come near to scoring on a free kick given on the School Zifyard line. In the second half the School had to play up hill and the play rested more and more with the forwards. There was no further scoring by the School, but a few minutes after the beginning of the half Brentwood carried the ball over from a loose scrum near the touch line. This closed the scoring for the game. The final score was 9f3 for the School. THE SCHOOL vs. THE NAVAL COLLEGE This was the third game played against the Naval College B Team, and was played on the grounds at the College on February 24. A few minutes after the play had begun, Dalziel I broke through on an Open wing and made the only score for the School during the whole game. Carle failed to convert it. By the end of the first half the College had scored twice and converted one kick to make the score 8f3 in their favour. In the second half the School was playing facing the sun and the College took advantage of this fact to send up many high punts. The School fought hard but were Outweighted and forced back into their own half. The first score was made from a loose scrum near the line, and the try was converted. The second score was an excellent field goal made by Bellflrving of the College. The final score was 17f3 for the Naval College. 33 THE SCHOOL vs. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE p This, the last of four games between the School and Brentwood College, was played on the School grounds on March 4. The School took the kick off and in the first half played with their backs to the sun and down hill. Dalziel I ran 45 yards to make the first and only try for the School. The kick by Carle was difficult and the try was not convened. Near the end of the half the School was forced back into their own Zifyard area and a penalty kick was given against them which Pitts of Brentwood succeeded in putting over. In the second half Brentwood forwards took advantage of their weight to make rushes through loose scrums. On several Occasions they were prevented from scoring by Dalziel II who did fine work in falling on the ball. Brentwood's second score was made from a Sfyard scrum. The final score was 6f3 for Brentwood. THE SCHOOL vs. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL This was the final game of the season for the School First XV and was played on March 14 on the School grounds. The School won the toss and kicked hp hill. The play for the first half was very much in the forward line, most of the threefquarter runs being stopped by effective tackling on both sides. Play was very hard and up to the end of the first half there was no score for either team. In the second half the School played down hill and used to good advantage the superiority of their forwards in the tight and loose scrums. After a few minutes there was a free kick given against Qak Bay High School on their Zifyard line. The kick was difficult and Carle failed to get it over. A few minutes later there was a scrum on the Oak Bay line, and Collett II successfully conf verted the try. The final score was 'VO for the School. CHARACTERS of the FIRST XV ANDERSON: Captain. Played at scrum half and later in the season as a threefquarter. May be described as a fairly safe, rather than a brilf liant player. Although rather light for a threefquarter, did some good passing at times which made all the difference in the attack. DALZIEL I: An excellent threefquarter, rugged and thrustful. He is responsible for most of the tries made in every game. His unusual speed and vigorous attack saved many a critical situation. CARLE: A rugged forward who leads the pack with considerable intelli' gence and success. Better in the lineout than in the tight. Used his weight to advantage and a hard worker. 34 KITSON: An experienced forward who played all out from start to finish. always on the ball in the loose and a good pusher in the tight. A most courageous tackler. DALZIEI.. II An excellent threefquarter. Essentially a tackler. His speed and elusiveness always made him a very real threat. Quick to take advantage of any opening. Had a most successful season. BECKTON: Front row forward and vastly improved this year. Used his weight effectively in the loose and very good at short passing among the forwards. Useful in the lineout. RILEY I: A greatly improved wing forward. Good hands and a useful tackle and always backed up intelligently. STANLEY: A forward who improved tremendously as the season prof gressed. Not very heavy or rugged, but a hard worker in the loose and a fairly good tackler. COLLETT I: A promising wing three-quarter. Played a good defensive gan.e. Was a bit light for his place but speedy and vigorous. BISSETT: Played scrum half in most of the games. Very fast at the base of the scrum, and always served his outsides well. Played unself' ishly and did his best to keep the game open. WATT: Played at full back where he gave good displays as the season progressed. Plucky, and tackling good, rather slow to gather and clear as yet, and occasionally caught with the ball in a dangerous position. MAGDONALD: A useful forward who did good work in the loose and always tried to give his outsides the necessary support. His tackling and kicking improved towards the end of the'season. OXLAND: Came along splendidly this year as a forward. Used his weight with good effect in the loose, and always played the game vigorously. BRIGGS: A forward who played all out from start to finish. Determined and a good tackler, and at his best when the opposition was keen. COLLETT II: A fast and thrustful threefquarter. Quick to take advantage of an opening, but not yet clever enough to create one. Handles fairly well and is a good kicker. With more experience will do well either in the center or on the wing. ., TENNIS There were about thirty entries for the Singles and fourteen for the Doubles this year. Finals were held on june 8. Collett II won the Singles from Watt and was duly awarded the Barnacle Cup for the year. The Doubles were won by Collett II and Watt against Collett I and Beckton. As usual Tennis Balls were awarded to the Winners. 35' :i'fI,. 2, g ? fI? :Iii 'sofa :zu g 2 2 P:.'00' 2 ': 'og' 5 'coax ego' o T' 'Ai A-9 an if In spite of the dire shortage of ammunition and the loss of five members of our last year's team, the standard of shooting has been well maintained. During the Xmas Term the Cadet Corps in its entirety and shooting as one team competed in the Caler Hagarty Memorial Prize Competition. This entry was arranged primarily to give the juniors a taste of competitive shooting and incidentally to acquire the wherewithal to shoot. The conditions governing the match were as rigorous as any yet encountered. We did not excell, but taking everything into consideration, put up a very fair showing. T. B. Watt distinguished himself by making top score with 8602 thereby winning a First Class shot badgeg and P. F. Collett was awarded the Baler Hagarty Memorial Prize, a copy of Lord' Robert's Fortyf one Years in India , for having attained the highest aggregate total in this Military District in this match combined with the D.C.R.A. shoot in 1943. Our very grateful thanks are due to Mr. W. Carle and Mr. W. S. Cupples for having given so liberally of their time in acting as Range Officials during this competition. During the Easter Term one team of nine was entered in the D.C.R.A. competition. As the following results indicate the team average is eminently satisfactory, being slightly ahead of last year's, which was 90.57f1. A. C. Beckton ........ 89 93 95 277 92.3W M. L.

Shooting Colours were awarded to P. F. Collett, T. B. Watt, R. M. Dalziel and A. G. Beckton. The Harvey Memorial Rifle, for the best shot in the School was won by P. F. Collett, who averaged 92.3W. The Braidwood Cup for the best Intermediate went to M. L. Clifford, who averaged 88.6W. The Junior with the highest average was W. H. Kreger. BOXING Although warftime conditions gave rise to many difficulties in carrying out this activity, seven well'fought bouts were put on in the Boxing finals on March 24th, in the School Gymnasium. Kirk met and defeated Duke in the first event, the Paper Weight. Both boxers showed skill and courageg but Kirk was the more aggressive and obtained a clearfcut verdict. Stamer and Morrow fought with considerable dash and vigour and, in a closely contested match, the decision went to Stamer. In the Feather Weight bout, Dalziel II was much too good for his less experienced opponent and had no difficulty in winning the match and the A. C. Bolton Cup. In neither the Light Weights nor the Welter Weights were the Judges able to arrive at a decision and both matches were called even. In both events the more scientific Collett brothers were up against bigger and more forceful opponents whose aggressive hitting, in the opinion of the judges, balanced the science of the Collets. In the Middle Weight Morant put up a very plucky fight against Bissett, a much more experienced boxer. - 37 Neither Carle, Heavy Weight, nor Beckton, LightfHeavy, could find an opponent in his own weight, and these two fought for the- School Championship and the Humphrey Baynes Challenge Cup. Carle gave a much more finished display and was, moreover, more than twenty pounds heavier than Beckton. The judges were Mr. Pott, whose son was a prominent boxer at the School some years ago, Mr. Skillings, an Old Boy and former winner of the School Championship, and Mr. C. L. Cropper. Mr. Howden was Referee, and Webb Timekeeper. The Headmaster announced the events and spoke briefly at the close of the display, thanking the Judges for their services. Results : Paper Weight-Kirk beat Duke. Fly Weight-Stamer beat Morrow. Feather Weight-Dalziel II beat Price. Light Weight-A-Stanley and Collett I draw. Welter Weight-Gordon I and Collett II draw. Middle Weight-Bissett beat Morant. School Championship-Carle beat Beckton. GYMNASTICS The Gym Competition was held this year on March 27 and once again we were fortunate to have with us Mr. Archie McKinf non as judge. Fourteen boys took part and the work done was of a reasonably high standard. As in previous years there were the compulsory and two optional exercises on each piece of apparatus. Stamer won the Croft Challenge Cup and the Captaincy of the Gym VIII for the year. The other members of the VIII in order of merit were Collett II, Dalziel II, Riley I, Collett I, Watt, Riley II, and Kreger II. Kreger, a Junior, should be highly complimented on his gaining a place on the Gym VIII. Mr. McKinnon complimented the boys on their work and made some valuable suggestions for the boys to consider for future com' petitions. We are greatly indebted to Mr. McKinnon for his coming to judge the competition and give us such helpful criticism which does so much aid in future progress. SWIMMING AND DIVING With the coming of warmer weather the Tank came into its own and was greatly appreciated by juniors and Seniors alike. Cn june lith Mr. McKinnon kindly came up once more to judge the Diving and to start the swimming races. 38 The results were as follows: FREE STYLE: Open, 60 yds.-Time 37 sec. lst, Collett I: 2nd, Vv'ebh.

There was keen competition from the Royal Naval College, Brentwood College and four High Schools. Out of the seven Schools competing, we secured first place jointly with Brentwood College. The Team took three firsts, two seconds and a third. As was to be expected Dalziel I was well to the fore. He ran the 440 por' tion of the Relay and gained such a good start that the remaining members of our Team were able to finish well ahead of their opponents. He came first in the 220 and first in the 100 Yards. which he covered in 10 seconds flat. The Team consisted of Dalziel I, Dalziel II, Stephenson, Col' lett II, Riley I, and Kitson. 39 THE CADET CORPS THE CADET CORPS The following appointments were sanctioned by the Headmaster: Cadet Captain fff'-f Kitson Cadet Lieutenant - ' f D. G. Anderson Cadet Lieutenant f f f R. F. Stephenson Cadet Company Sgtflvlajor f f A. G. Beckton Cadet Company 'f-f P. Wyllie A completely revised syllabus of training was instituted by the R.C.A.C. Pacific Command this year. Of the three optional courses offered, an Intermediate course was followed here. In addition to the customary training carried out by this Corps such items as Fieldcraft, Woodcraft, A.R.P. work, Map Reading, Knots and Lash' ings and other miscellaneous subjects were included for study. Capt. J. Kitson, his Officers and N.C.C'.'s are worthy of the highest praise for their invaluable assistance and wholehearted support throughout a very difficult year. The Band, under Sergt. Carle, again proved itself invaluable on many occasions and is to be congratulated for the dogged way in which each member gave unstintingly of his time each day of the week in order to maintain the high standards set in previous years. During the course of the past year we have received consider' able quantities of equipment, signalling lamps and other impedif menta. We are indeed grateful to the Authorities for these additions to our Armoury, but earnestly wish that they could furnish us with the necessary time in which to use them. A Bren Gun and some rifles for drill purposes would be of more practical use and would certainly create greater interest than Trousers, Anti'Gas, Markll. of which we have a goodly supply. As per instructions, the Corps passed through a concentration of gas during March, the purpose being to gain confidence in his gasfmaskm. Some gained gas The matter has been reported and we are duly awaiting further advice. We extend our very grateful thanks to Dr. G. B. Buffam for his lectures on First Aid, to R. Carle for having given us a good start in our Knots and to R. E. Bailey for his interesting and helpful advice to wouldfbe pilots. On April 29 the Cadet Corps in its entirety was privileged to take part in a parade through Victoria in aid of the Vlth Victory Loan Drive. Many favourable comments on the march discipline were heard alrmg the route, while our Band, the only School Band present, evoked much applause. Following the parade, an exhibition of antifaircraft firing and divefbombing in Beacon Hill Park added zest to the afternoon's activities. The Annual Inspection took place on May lst. Col. Urquhart, A.D.C., D.S.C., M.C., accompanied by Captain Ian Simpson, Lieut. E. E. King, Assistant Cadet Cfficcr for this Area, and the Head' 41 master, took the Salute. In spite of the change in syllabus the order of inspection was very similar to that,of previous years and need not be repeated here. In his closing address Col. Urquhart com' plimented all ranks on their splendid turnfout, reminded them of the privilege they enjoyed at the School and trusted that they would faithfully uphold the famous traditions vouchsafed them by those who had gone before. A special word of commendation should be accorded Sergt. P. F. Collett, who, at the last minute, took over the responsibilities of No. 2 Platoon in the absence of Cadet Lieut. D. G. Andersong also J. A. Stamer, who as Captain of the Gym VIII made a more than favourable impression when he and his team executed a variety of gymnastic feats. The Tableaux were original and most successfully carried out. The results of last year's Inspection were not received in time to be published in the 19424943 Magazine. With pleasurable pride it can now be stated that we were classified in the group Very Good . No definite position was mentioned, but only twelve schools attained this distinction out of the 100 now in operation. We have definite assurance already that this year has not found us wanting. The Cadet Corps and the junior members of the School attended Evening Service at St. Luke's Church on the last day of the term. This final parade which is in essence more than a parade, with its inherent solemnity and sense of comradeship made yet more real by the great events in which so many Qld Boys are playing their part, brought to a fitting conclusion a year of serious prepaf ration and strenuous undertaking. ... .Y ....- -: xx 5 ' i Y.. , Q -graffiti.
