Speech Day c Speech Day was held in the morning on June 25th. the last day of term for all save Matric candidates. The gymnasium was packed with visitors and on the platform the Very Rev. Dean Calvert, D.D.. and Mrs. Calvert were well supported by the Governors. including the Chairman, Mr. F. E. Winslomf, O.B.E., and the Headmaster. In his opening address the Headmaster explained the departure from precedent by pointing out that Sports Day being also Old Boys Day had tended to outweigh Speech Day in its importance in School life. ln future, he said. Speech Day. Sports Day and Old Boys Day would be combined in one and would be held annually on the first Saturday in June. This would entail less interference with School studies. less travelling for visitors, and better opportunity for them to share in the cor- porate life of the School, while the relative importance of events would be properly adjusted. It had been a year of great progress, he said. When the late Headmaster died last July after a lifetime of devoted service to the School the enrolment stood at 54. By October it was 90. In November came the transfusion of new blood from Brent- wood College, bringing the number to l2O. Since January there have been ll new boys and 4 leavers, and the total now stood at 127, the highest enrolment since 1930. The Headmaster then spoke of the decision of the Governors of Brentwood College to abandon the idea of rebuilding and instead to put their weight and influence behind University School, and of the success which had resulted from their efforts. Keenness and enthusiasm generated by inter-house com- petition and loyalties had had a stimulating effect on the sporting activities, while such pastimes as Going to see the Major ClVlajor Taylerj had become equally popular in both houses and done much to make the fusion smooth. A further step in this direction had been the decision of the executives of the two Old Boys Associations to consider the possibility of forming a new joint Old Boys Association. Commenting on the considerable success which had been achieved both in the playing fields and in the Cadet Corps. and on the outstanding academic success of W. D. McCormick. the Headmaster thanked the staff for their efforts, which had made these successes possible. He then spoke of the changed plans for the War Memorial and the need for raising additional funds. and concluded with a tribute to the support which he had re- ceived from the Governors and the bright prospects of the school living up to its motto- Mens Sana in Corpore Sano. l l

The Headmaster introduced the Dean and Mrs. Calvert, who presented the prizes in accordance with the list below. Legg II presented Mrs. Calvert with a bouquet and the Dean then spoke mainly to the boys on the subject of the Game of Life. In a brief address, which was as humorous as it was polished and to the point, the Dean compared the struggle of life with the struggle to succeed at school. In life the prizes were infinitely greater and much more worth while but, unlike school, where the prizes could go to only a few, the prizes of a Christian life would go to all who had the daring, the courage and the deter- mination to succeed. The Head Prefect. followed by the Chairman of the Governors, then thanked the Dean and Mrs. Calvert both for presenting the prizes and for the inspiring address, and the proceedings concluded with the singing of the school song and the National Anthem.
