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

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

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
