Up betimes and early to the School Office, this being the last day before the Magazine must go to the Printers and an unconscion- able busy twelve hours of labour before me. And do suppose that with a measure of application I may in no very great length of time make a fair enough piece of writing to do bravely for an Editorial. But, Lord, when I do consider the multiplicity of our operations during the past year, and the many Clubs and Societies and Matches and Events and Alarums and Excursions Cboth within and withoutj upon which I must make comment, I am at a loss where first to make a beginning, and of a truth can but with difficulty envisage my poor little wood of an Editorial for the multitude of the trees. Then of necessity rllust come the same little Devil that doth haunt all writers of Editorials to whisper in my ear his reminder that all these aforesaid Clubs and Societies and Matches and Events Cyea, and the Alarums and Excursions to booth are dealt with in full, each in its own and proper quarter of the Magazine, and that, though as it were I am given leave in passing to touch upon them lightly, yet I must go no further, which would be a trespass upon the offices of the reporters who are therein concerned. SoI do once again, this year, find myself reduced, in a moment of reflexion, from a plethora of matter very near to poverty and want, and know not whether in its place merely to treat aerily of the year's weather or, as I have known one Editor do aforetime, boldly leave the first page of the accursed Magazine blank, in publick protest that an Editorial be an untimely, unnecessary and altogether plaguy thing. So I begin to fret and to fume and to chew my quill and to utter harsh and unseemly words against the first begetter and in- ventor of Editorials, until good Mistress McDonough, toiling over against me, be hard put to it to attend to her secretarial duties and must fain request me to put off my Editorial travails until a later time of the day, and so I do. Thus at night I do sit in my study until twelve of the clock with a fair white sheet of paper empty before me and no more mat- ter in my mind than a mouse, when of a sudden comes my Good Hlife from her bed to make inquiry why I am so prodigal of electrick light at such an ungodly late hour ffor 'tis a pesky sexi. But, when I tell her that I am but another Editor at my very wits' ends for an Editorial, she berates me roundly, saying that the business is easy enough in all conscience, and bids me merely to put down that the School goes well Cwhich, in very truth, it doesd and, to my Readers fsupposing that I may have anyl, Good Greeting and as Merry a Perusal as they can get from these pages, and to add that if they desire the rest of the matter they will find the same by a turn or two of the leaves: and for myself to make all dark and to come to my rest, it being very near midnight. The which without further ado I decide to write, with as good a countenance as I can raise, and then do switch off the offending electrick light and so to bed. C.F.G. 5 The Prefects SCHOOL NOTES The promise that the School Year 1950-'51 would be well above average has been fulfilled. The enrolment rose to 149 178 Boarders. 71 Day Boysl, the academic achievements-notably in the 'lVIatrics.'-were outstanding and in School Games our old rivals were almost always defeated and at times overwhelmed. The Cameron Cup and the Wloodward Cadet Trophy returned to the School, while in Athletics the Old Boys were defeated in the Relay and Calton broke the long-standing record for the Hurdles. It has been indeed a great year, but, these results being due largely to the high proportion of Seniors in the School, the 'Matrics.', in direct consequence of this, have produced a toll of leavers who may not be replaced in size, if in numbers, for some time, and it may well be, therefore, that 1950-'51 will come to be regarded as a vintage year and a challenge to those to come. Be that as it may, it has given us Roses in December. The Scout Troop and Cub Pack have flourished exceedingly and crowned the year with a very successful camp at Sooke. Al- ready they have become an integral part of the School. The general amenities continue to be improved. The Dining- Room is no longer stuffy, cheerless and cold. Indeed those who have not visited the School for some time would have had diffi- culty in recognizing it on the night of the Christmas Banquet, when 6 the new curtains were put on display and the old stove, whose size so belied its efficiency, gave way to two modern heaters. Some improvements are not so obvious but none-the-less of considerable importance, as, for example, the digging of surface drains around Harvey House. These, like the treasure of the Incas, had been lost to view for so long that research in the archives and again with spades and shovels failed to reveal them, so that new drains were inevitable: but at least the Winter Sport of Sailing in the Trunk Room should no longer be a compulsory activity. The old Bell 81 Howell projector has been replaced by a new Ampro and breakdowns should be a thing of the past. WVe have had a number of Qld Boys visit us this year and would welcome still more. It was particularly pleasing to have Rear-Admiral Wfallace Creery, C.B.E., R.C.N., address the School on the first day of the School Year, and Brigadier Ae. Bell-Irving, O.B.E., carry out the Annual Cadet Inspection. It is such ties which give the School its great strength. The major events of the year-Speech Day, Sports Day, Cadet Inspection etc.-are treated in detail elsewhere, but one and all were highly successful. On Armistice Day the lNIemorial Board was carried to the Memorial Hall for a short but impressive service. The Head- master read Capt. Harvey's Letter and called the Roll, the Rev. Lowe read the Prayers and the Head Prefect, R. Calton, placed the wreath. No holiday was granted as it was felt that this is not a day of rejoicing but a day of remembrance, and a quiet hour was stressed. The War Memorial Boards are now under construction and will be unveiled at 11:00 a.m., December 19th. The Lord Bishop of British Columbia will officiate and the actual unveiling of the Boards will be performed by Col. C. C. Merritt, V.C., and an Qld Brentonian, whose name, unfortunately, has not arrived in time for Press. The Boards will be similar in design to that commem- orating the 1914-'18 XVar, but each will have the addition of the School name and crest. Old Boys and Friends of both Schools are cordially invited to be present. lNIay we take this opportunity of reminding readers that the lNIemorial Fund is permanently open for the purpose of improving the amenities of the lNIemorial Hall, and that this is an opportune time to help it along. Contributions, which will be acknowledged by the Headmaster, are permissible for Income Tax relief. For the first time for years we were visited-on the same day-by Fire Inspectors, Health Inspectors, Plumbing Inspectors et alii. As a result of their visit the main building is plastered with Fire Exit notices for the benefit of those who may not know the way downstairs, and we are still awaiting an official recom- mendation for certain new wiring in Harvey House. lNIeanwhile the speed with which the main building has been evacuated in practice is comforting. 7 Our grateful thanks are due to:- Mrs. C. Ralston of Spokane, whose son was at Brentwood, for the continued gift to the library of an annual subscription to the 'National Geographic' Major YVise. for his unfailing support and encouragement. The Dinner tat the Union Club fl which he gave to the 1st XV will be long remembered. The Four WVinds and YVestward Ho, for brightening the School in the holidays and for their generous donation to the Wlar lNIemorial Fund. Mr. Haldane, for his authoritative address on f'Law as a Career. Mayo Singh, for the gift of a new Diving Board. XVe take this opportunity of apologising to Donald Taylor, O.B., for omitting his name from the list of successful candidates in University Entrance, 1949. Congratulations are well in order to:- Calton, for his many successes in the sporting field, and in particular for being chosen to represent Victoria both at Rugger and Cricket. Sherratt, for being selected to play against the M.C.C. and Mr. YVenman ithe safest field in the Provincel for dropping a sitter at deep leg in that historic match and then going on to prove by far the most successful performer with bat and ball. Legg-Wlillis. for his prize-winning effort in a public speak- ing contest. S The Cadet Shooting VIII, for bringing back the YVoodward Cup. S S H The Cricket XI. captained by Challenor, for wresting the Cameron Cup from the mainland. Sherratt. for again leading his side to victory in the Clayton Cup. Otis and his assistants for resurrecting the Spirit of Mt. Tolmie. Efforts to photograph the Spirit for this Magazine un- fortunately met with poor success. which was perhaps only to be expected. Fenton, for winning the School Quarter with his first ap- pearance On Games of the term. Birley. for obtaining a longhand letter from the Poet Laureate. Moffatt II, for winning the Vancouver Island Boys' Qunder 153 Tennis Championship. and Kingham I, for reaching the final of the Senior my under 181 competition. The frontispiece picture of the match v. Shawnigan was taken for inclusion in an album of famous cricket grounds in Canada to be presented to the M.C.C. at the conclusion of their Canadian tour and to remain in perpetuity at Lords. House Prefects were Shillam. Goodrich and Bell. School Prefects were Calton, Squire, Read and Morgan. H.M. 8 CONFIRMATION The following Candidates. prepared bv the Rev. N. A.

Ewing Presents the Chapman Cup SPEECH DAY The forty-ninth Annual Speech Day was held on June 2, and there was a large assembly of parents and friends in the Memorial Hall. which had been attractively decorated for the occasion. The Headmaster struck an optimistic note in his report. There were now 148 boys in the School-the largest enrolment since the '20s-and great progress was being made. The current year had been a good one from the health point of view. and the Rlatriculation results should be above average a prophecy which has since been fulfilled . The Headmaster then introduced Dr. BI. Ewing. Principal of Victoria College. who presented the prizes. The prize list is given below. but an additional award was made this year in con- nection with the Kei' Cup. The Chapman and Ker Cups are allotted in accordance with a secret ballot on the part of the Staff. and in the case of the latter two candidates had been placed so closely that an extra award for Service,' was made to H. Squire. In the course of his speech Dr. Ewing stressed the advant- ages of Private School training. saying that for boys who will be leaders this is a magnificent type of educationf, Training of this kind was an excellent preparation for University life. and boys should take care that they did not approach their Universities be- fore some state of mental and academic maturity had been reached. 1111 Winslow being absent in England. Brigadier Cabeldu acted as Chairman of the Board of Governors. and thanked Dr. Ewing on its behalf. Brigadier Cabeldu was ably seconded by R.

We must congratulate Calton on his brilliant effort in the Hurdles and the School Relay Team on giving us the thrill of the occasion when. after a desperately close race all the way round, Robertson. running last. managed to get home first by a matter of inches. Once again the R.C.A. iReserye1 Band made sweet music for us and a serried crowd invaded the Dining Room and Gym. for tea. Our thanks are due to Mrs. Ewing for presenting the prizes at the end of an enjoyable afternoon. We giye full details below. President-The Headmaster. Starter-llr. Kloffat. Timekeepers-Brig. F. N.

Actually the pack developed into an extreinely strong Combination.

The barks. though weak del'ensiyely and lacking' in experience. were inaqnifieently Carried hy Cialton. who gave soine dazzling displays and of the twelve inatehes played no less than ten were won. One was lost and one drawn. Colours were awarded to A. N. Sundt. A. Carnphell. G. T. L. Read. F. li. Rooine. YY. Robertson and H. H. Hell.

Bell. CT. IJ. Branson. YY. KI. Cooper. T. E. Robinson. A. G. Cox and R. A. Lewis. The Qnd. XV played five Qaines. The away inateh with St. Georgels resulted in a heayy defeat. but in the return the School lost hy three points only. a penalty Qoal being the znarqin. The 15 home game against Shawnigan Lake School was won, but a 3-O loss was sustained in the return. The School was successful against Oak Bay High School. Once again the School was represented by an excellent Coltls side. Little in the way of opposition could be found for them at their weight. All four matches against other Private Schools, two against Shawnigan Lake School and two against St. George's School, were won easily. Brentwood House won the Senior House Match easily, while Founders' House were successful in the Junior game. R.W. FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES SCHOOL v. H.M.C.S. ONTARIO The lst. XV opened the season at home on Oct. 21, their oponents being a team composed mainly of Officers from H.M. OS. Ontario and captained by Lieut. B. Young. A very even game resulted, the School winning by a goal and a try C8 pts.j to two tries 46 ptsjl. The School started well. and it was not long before Tyson crossed on the left wing to finish off a nice passing movement. Squire failed to kick the goal. A little later Calton, the School outside half, ran through the middle from 25 yards out, selling the dummy cleverly to score between the posts. Squire added the extra points. The opposition then exerted pressure, and shortly before half time Jack Gibbs, taking the ball at his feet, forced himself through the loose to score an unconverted try. Play was very even throughout the second half. For the School Calton was always very dangerous but he was not strongly supported. Shortly before the end. after Shaw had twice saved the School. a forward try was conceded. This was not converted and the School won 8-6. Calton was outstanding both in attack and defence. Bell, at full back, also had a good match. kicking with reasonable length and accuracy. Of the forwards, Klorgan, Squire and Campbell were the pick. SCHOOL v. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL The School were at home to Shawnigan Lake School and won by two goals and two tries 116 pts.l to two tries 16 pts.j. The game opened at a fast pace and the School pressed im- mediately. From the first set scrum Calton obtained possession and ran strongly through the centre on his own, and a little later he appeared to have scored at the flag after another splendid effort. The try was not allowed, but the School did not have long to wait for their first success as Kingham, playing scrum half, 16 made a nice opening for Robertson, who scored easily. Squire failed to convert from a wide angle. A little later a movement initiated by Calton resulted in a try by Cooper, who took the final pass from Sherratt to score easily. Squire kicked the goal. Continuing to show a marked superiority except in the tight scrums the School increased their lead when Calton. going on the blind side. sold the dummy cleverly and sent Robertson in to cross at the flag. Squire kicked a magnificent goal. just before half time Campbell, who worked extremely hard throughout, dribbled through the defence and won the race for the ball to score - a most determined effort and a just reward for keen, consistent play. Squire narrowly missed the conversion and the School led 16-O at half time. Before half time the School had controlled the game, but after the restart they fell away badly, and the initiative passed to their opponents. The Shawnigan forwards dominated the set scrums, and their outsides, aided by faulty marking and indiffer- ent tackling by the School backs, made merry. Only two tries were obtained however, both on the right wing at the flag, but on two other occasions the School defence was beaten, and they were fortunate in being able to put the Shawnigan right wing into touch-in-goal and into touch with the corner post. Neither try was converted and the School won 16-6, although not the points better on the play. The forwards outplayed their opponents in the loose, where the effective play of Morgan. Squire and Campbell was very marked, but in the tight they were well beaten. Huus being no match for the Shawnigan hook. Behind the scrum Calton was in a class by himself both in attack and defence. He made Rob- ertson's try, instigated Cooper's, all but scored himself on two occasions and was the only outside to defend adequately. SCHOOL v. H.M.C.S. ONTARIO The return game with H.M.C.S. Ontario was played on the Navy ground and resulted in a draw, the Navy scoring two tries and the School replying with a penalty goal and a try. Throughout the first half the Navy scrum, with a huge weight advantage, controlled the game in the tight and fully held their own in the loose. The School outsides had few opportunities in attack and were fully occupied in holding their very active opposite numbers. Navy opened the scoring when, from a set scrum near the School line. their pack obtained possession and walked the ball over. The try was not converted. Calton initiated some promising movements for the School but there was no thrust in the centre and the Navy line was seldom in danger. The School drew level however when Squire was successful with a penalty shortly before half time. The Navy went ahead again soon after the resumption, an unconverted try being obtained far out by John Young, but the 17 Si .1 . o 31 -f -D9 nr- -it Q.. -aw 'S wh- v- .- IW Ko, -X ,Y ,gas va nv new N! df. .- .as- v .1- ,,.a. ww Q! 525 gb' -w V+ Colts XY 18 ..-L A--x 31 ,355 School, with Calton still very prominent, were now having rather more of the game. Kendell was only just short of the line after a spirited run down the touch-line and Calton made several pene- trations in the centre. The School forwards, with Morgan, Camp- bell and Squire playing extremely well in the loose, kept School hopes very much alive. Finally the School drew level again and once more Calton was responsible. Taking a pass in midfield he put himself through by means of a dummy,,' moved across to the right, sold the dummy again and, cutting in, cleverly drew the defence to give Cox a walk in-fine Rugby. Squire failed to add the extra points and the game ended a little later in a draw. The School forwards stood up well against very heavy and vigorous opposition. Squire, Mo1'gan. Brown I and Read were good, but Campbell was outstanding. Injured shortly before half time he returned to the field after the restart and played an ex- tremely effective and courageous game until the end. SCHOOL v. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL The School were at home to Oak Bay High School and were defeated by a goal and two tries L11 pts.l to two tries 16 pts.l. Oak Bay opened very fast. Their forwards were extremely quick on the ball in the loose and their kick-and-run tactics were not well countered by the School outsides who were definitely hesitant. This, coupled with some determined running by their backs, gave Oak Bay three tries before half time. One of these tries was converted. The School replied through Robertson, who took a pass from Cox to cross far out after a short run. Squire failed to convert. The School had their chances but with the exception of Calton the outsides passed badly and failed to run with resolution. In addition Cox, having crossed the line, failed to ground the ball and allowed himself to be forced into touch- in-goal. The forwards did well in the tight and held their own in the line-out, but were no match for their speedy opponents in the loose. After the restart, with the forwards continuing to dominate the set scrums, the School did rather better. Calton tricked his way through the middle but slipped near the line and the try was lost. In the closing minutes Robertson scored his second try after taking a pass from Cox. Squire failed to goal and the School lost 6-11. Of the backs Sundt I and Branson were adequate and Calton very good, but the rest gave a very disappointing display. The forwards, who were without Brown I and Campbell, stuck to their job extremely well: but for their efforts the School would have been over-run. SCHOOL v. ST. GEORGIEYS SCHOOL The home match with St. George's School resulted in a win for University by two goals, a penalty goal and a try C16 pts.l to nil. 19 The game opened sensationally when, in the first minute, Calton took a pass from Sundt I after the forwards had heeled from the tight and. selling the dummy beautifully, ran twenty-five yards through the centre to score between the posts. Squire kicked the goal. Splendidly led by Calton the School maintained the pressure and a little later added to their lead when, from a set scrum near the line, the pack pushed over, Read being credited with the try. Squire again added the extra points. At this stage the School were definitely on top and the St. George's line was constantly threatened. The visitors held out for some time, how- ever. although both Calton and Branson were all but over on two occasions. Shortly before half time the School went further ahead when Calton initiated a movement in midfield and cleverly trans- ferred to Read. This player made ground before giving a well- judged pass to Robertson. who rounded the defence to score far out. Squire, who kicked splendidly throughout, hit the cross-bar and the sides changed over, the School leading 13-O. After the restart play was much more even and rather less constructive. The St. George's forwards fought back hard and territorially the visitors had a fair share of the game. Their backs, however. never threatened and their best chances came from two penalty kicks in the School twenty-five: both were missed. In the closing stages the School again showed to advantage and a long run by Calton all but resulted in a try by Robertson. A little later the School were rewarded when Squire kicked a splendid penalty goal, and the School won 16-O-a hard-fought match but not a great one. The forwards once again did well, particularly in the first half. Their heeling was cleaner than that of their opponents and there was always plenty of push. Read had his best match to date while Squire, Morgan and Campbell were also very prominent. Behind the scrum Calton was once again in a class by himself. He handled a slippery ball extremely well and used the 'Gdummyn and the short kick with great effect. His resolute running and timely passing always foreshadowed danger to the opposition, although after half time he was very closely marked. Sundt I did quite well at scrum half, while Branson gave a much-improved display at centre three-quarter. SCHOOL v. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL This game was played at Shawnigan Lake and won by the School by two tries to a penalty goal. Rain fell throughout and the game was mainly of a forward nature. Both packs played robust and intelligent football, the School eight having slightly the better of the argument except in the hooking where they were well beaten. Territorially the School had the better of the first half and their line was never in danger. It was some time however before the very strenuous efforts of the forwards were rewarded, as the backs found the ball very difficult to handle and the Shawnigan 20 defence sound. However. a long run through the centre by Bran- son resulted in a loose scrum close to the posts. A quick heel from this position and a quick pass by Sundt to Calton enabled the School Captain to walk over. Squire's attempt to convert hit the post. Nlaintaining the pressure, the School went further ahead, when Squire secured the ball from a line-out, about ten yards from the Shawnigan line, and burst through to score a try which he failed to improve. There was no further score before half time and the School deserved their six points lead. After the restart Shawnigan had rather more of the game but play was largely confined to midfield, although faulty handling by Branson and Cooper gave the School some anxious moments. In the last minute of play Shawnigan were rewarded when the School were penalized in their own twenty-five and a good goal was kicked. In winning 6-3 the School had their forwards to thank. All played very spirited football with Read, lNIorgan and Squire being outstanding. Roome also had an excellent match. Behind the scrum Sundt was quite sound and Calton, as usual, was effective and clever. Cooper had his best match to date and Branson also showed to advantage. although appearing to tire badly in the second half. It was a hard, clean game in which both sides made the best of very poor playing conditions. SCHOOL v. VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL This match was played at the High School and won by a penalty goal and three tries Q12 pts.l to a goal 15 pts.l. The game was an open one throughout but the School backs, playing behind superior forwards, had more of the ball and looked more dangerous. After a period of even play the School took the lead when Calton, going on the blind side, sold a clever dummy and, making it look ridiculously easy, scored far out. Squire failed to convert. The School forwards were well together at this stage, holding their own in the tight and dominating the loose. Sundt was active and aggressive at the base of the scrum and, with Calton at his best and both Branson and Robertson quite prom- inent, the School were definitely on top. A little later Branson was injured and went to full back, Cox taking his place at centre. Almost immediately Calton made a nice opening for Cox who ran strongly to cross at the flag, Squire again failing to goal. Con- tinuing to press the School should have scored again, when some clever play by Calton gave Cox an opportunity to send Robertson over, but the pass was not forthcoming and a certain try was lost. The forwards, well led by Squire, were going very well and, after a quick heel from the tight, Calton put himself through the cen- tre and could have crossed but, looking for support, was tackled almost on the goal line. At half time the School led by six points and this could easily have been twelve on the play. Shortly after the restart the School were awarded a penalty and Squire made no mistake when he kicked a long goal from 21 in front. The High School opened their account when a very fast centre burst through and outdistanced the School defence easily. The goal was kicked. For the remainder of the game the School were definitely on top. Cox was nearly over on two occasions and the High School had other narrow escapes, but it was not until the final minute that the School were rewarded, Sundt sneaking over on the blind side to score a well-deserved try which Squire just failed to improve. Once again the School forwards were the deciding factor. Their play was robust and intelligent and their opponents could match them only in the tight. Behind the scrum Calton was at his very best. Never was his dummy more effec- tively used or his play more cleverly varied. Sundt had an excel- lent match while Cox and Robertson showed their best form of the season. SCHOOL v. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL Playing at home in sleet and rain the School gave a very creditable display. winning by a goal and two tries 1 11 ptsqw to nil. The School opened strongly with the forwards storming to the High School line. where from a scrum close to the line they pushed over. Nforgan being found in possession when the players sorted themselves out. Squire failed to convert. The ball was ex- tremely difficult to handle but both sides attempted to use their outsides. the School. with Calton to hold them together. always looking more dangerous. Play was very level but the High School all but evened matters shortly before half time. when Cox and Robertson combined to hold up an opponent who had broken through and had actually crossed the line. After half time the School had by far the better of the game and it was not long before Calton broke the defence in the centre and, after a clever run. gave to Robertson who finished in the approved manner. Squire failed to improve the try. A little later Calton again put himself through but this time Robertson failed to gather cleanly and the try was not allowed. The High School never looked dangerous during the second half. their forwards being outplayed by the School pack and their outsides being closely marked. In the last minute of play Calton took a pass from Sundt and again broke the defence with his dummy. running through from the High School twenty-five to score between the posts- a grand effort. Squire kicked the goal and the School had won 11-O. The forwards were in devastating form: only in the line-out were they held. One and all played very vigorous and intelligent football. with Read and Morgan catching the eye. Behind the scrum. Calton. who was well served by Sundt. had another field day. Cox was cool at full back. handling well and kicking with length. 22 SCHOOL v. ST. GEORGFXS SCHOOL The eagerly-awaited return against St. George's was played at Brocton point Oval in Vancouver and won by the School by three goals. a penalty goal and a try 421 ptsm to nil. A light rain fell throughout the greater part of the game and the ground was heavy. The School opened very fast and carried play to the St. George's line where a try was scored almost at once, Lewis taking a pass from Cooper and forcing himself over after a short run. Squire improved with an excellent kick. The School came again and. after some good play in the loose by the forwards, Campbell gathered a loose ball and fell over near the posts for Squire to kick the extra points. The School forwards then fell away somewhat. and some very keen but scrambling Rugby by both sides failed to produce any incident of note, until Squire was successful with a rather long penalty from straight in front, and the School led by 13 points. Shortly before half time Calton made his first real effort to break the defence in the cen- tre. L'sing the dummy cleverly he was brilliantly successful and. when almost over himself. he gave a scoring pass to Robertson who crossed. only to have the referee judge the pass a forward one. which indeed it was. Robertson being at fault. Following the restart the School forwards fought hard for mastery but never attained it. though they had a slight advantage in the loose. In the tight Robinson was outhooked and there was nothing between the sides in the line-out. Calton was always dan- gerous but the ball seldom came fast or cleanly enough from the loose to give him the necessary opportunities. Both sides appeared tired and for some time play was confined to midfield with neither side in real danger. About ten minutes from the end the School found their form again. Twice Clalton was unlucky when he short- kicked ahead cleverly. and Robertson was very close on one occasion. The School were not to be denied however. Calton. selling the dummy beautifully. went through on his own and this time did not need to pass. though support was there. The try was far out and Squire failed to convert. The School had not finished yet. and the thrill of the day was saved for the final minute. From a scrum about forty yards out Calton. using the dummy as only he can. and showing a nice change of pace. ran strongly through the centre on his own. His scoring pass to Cooper was perfectly timed and the little centre took it beautifully, going flat out to sail over and run around and score between the posts. Squire added the extra points with the last kick of the match and the School had won convincingly 21 points to nil. The School forwards met worthy opposition but fully held their own. Behind the scrum St. George's had no counter to the brilliance of Calton, who was at his very best, playing football of the highest class. Squire also had a good match, kicking three goals and a penalty with a difficult ball. 23 SCHOOL v. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL This, the third match between the sides, resulted in a win for the School by two goals and a try 113 pts.l to a goal C5 pts.l. The XN'indsor Park ground was in excellent condition but the game did not produce the open Rugby that was expected. The School forwards were in good form and it was through their efforts that the School opened the scoring. A good forward rush in which Brown was very prominent was finished by Squire, who picked up the loose ball near the line and fell over. He con- verted his own try and the School led 5-O at the breather. Shortly after the restart a poor clearance by a High School three-quarter gave Robertson an opportunity to show his speed. Gathering cleanly on the touch-line in his own half he darted down the wing, outdistancing all opposition, crossed at the flag and scored between the posts for Squire to add the extra points. A little later the High School opened their account when a for- ward try was obtained and a grand goal was kicked. The School had a slight territorial advantage until the end but could only add one more try. This came when Calton. who had been, for him, rather subdued. made a lovely opening for Robertson, who ac- cepted the scoring pass at full speed and scored a try which Squire failed to improve. The School forwards were once again superior to the oppos- ing pack and took the major credit. Behind the scrum Robertson had a very good match. SCHOOL v. SHIPLEY'S XV This game was played at home and won by a goal, a penalty goal and a try 111 pts.h to a goal 45 pts. 1. The opposition, composed largely of Old Boys and College students. gave the School some anxious moments but were never really together, and the School deserved their six points margin. Branson opened the scoring for the School. running through the centre to score between the posts for Squire to convert. A little later the School increased their lead when the scrum took the ball across, Brown I being credited with the try. Squire failed to convert. A fine run by john Campbell gave the visitors a try between the posts which was converted. but Squire added to the School score shortly before half time when he kicked a penalty goal from an easy angle. The second half was full of indifferent football which pro- duced little threat of further scoring, and the School won 11-5. SCHOOL v. VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL In a game rather lacking in sparkle the School defeated Vic- toria High School by a goal and a try K8 pts.l to a penalty goal K3 ptsfb. The School pressed from the start and, after a short period in the High School twenty-five, Sundt I sneaked around the blind 24 side to score easilv. Squire failed to improve. The visitors then asserted themselves and, the School being penalized in their own twenty-five, a good goal was kicked from a wide angle. The School forwards, who were quite effective in the loose, carried play to the High School line where Sundt I was again successful in forcing himself over on the blind side. Squire failed to convert but, upon a second kick being ordered because of a High School infringement. he made no mistake. There was no further scoring before half time although the School were definitely on top. After the restart the High School, with a definite advantage in the line-out and at least an even share of the tight scrums. played up well. They were however very weak behind the scrum. and the School being not very much more impressive the game finished rather tamely, the School winning 8-3. 25 RUGBY CHARACTERS CALTON CCaptain and Stand-off Halfj-A brilliant attacking Half, as safe in the reception of his passes as he was accurate in the giving of them. lfnselfish and rarely caught in possession. Always scheming to pierce the defence, he varied his play cleverly, and his dummy was perfectly executed. His defence was not up to his attack but he kicked with judgment and took the running tackle splendidly. Few outside halves of his calibre have ever represented the School. SQUIRE CYice-Captainl-A hard-working and dependable front-row man. Excellent in all phases of forward play. Possessed excellent hands and was extremely dangerous near the opposing line. He had an extremely good season as a place-kicker and could kick both punt and drop, effectively. Always gave of his very best and loved the game. COX CFull Backj-Possessed good hands and when not unduly pressed kicked with length and accuracy. His tackling was poor and in gen- eral he lacked resolution. ROBERTSON CVVing Three-Quarterb-He enjoyed a good season and was a greatly-improved player. Possessed pace and finished many a movement well. Still poor in defence and a weak kick. BRANSON CCentre Three-Quarterl-A useful player but has not as yet fulfilled the promise of earlier years. He has sufficient pace, fair hands and a good knowledge of the game, but has developed a degree of hesitancy which must be eradicated if he is to play the part expected of him and of which he is capable. COOPER CCentre Three-Quarterj-Rather light and lacking in experi- ence as yet, but he is a promising player. Keen and willing, and another season's football should do wonders for him. LEWIS fWing Three-Quarterj-A determined runner with good hands. Effective in defence. Lacks a knowledge of the game as yet but is a player of promise. SUNDT I CScrum Halfl-Filled his important position well and had a most successful season. Possessed good hands and provided a fast and accurate service for his outside half. A fair tackle and kick. More aggressive than formerly, and late in the season scored some good tries on his own. ROBINSON-Not as yet a hooker but held his position on the team and gained valuable experience. Slow in the loose. ROOME-A front row man who found himself suddenly and went from strength to strength. A terrific worker both in the tight and the loose, and an excellent tackler. One of the best of a very good pack. MORGAN-Had an excellent season and much of the success of the pack was due to his own and his partner's efforts in the second row. A hard and tireless worker he was dynamic in the loose scrums where he gave and asked no quarter. A greatly-improved tackle, and never hesitated to go down on the ball when need arose. READ-Vastly improved in every way and enjoyed a splendid season in the second row. Handled the ball well and was very useful in the line- out. Applied his weight correctly and vigorously both in the tight and the loose. Greatly improved defensively. CAMPBELL-Enjoyed a splendid season at Break. Rather slow on his feet but his tackling was hard and sure. Excellent in the loose scrums and was always close to the ball, ready to profit from any mistakes of the opposition. A poor handler and a very weak kick. BROYNN I-An honest trier who was always in the thick of things. Good in the line-out and very fair defensively. BELL-Came on considerably at Break and finished the season strongly. Quite fast in the loose and a fair tackle but tired easily. On occasion he performed creditably at full back, where he kicked with effect. 26 f- ' ' . ' ' ' sf .lib 35, If 35 Q' L a ser X 4 .sr f NK J .af N' Y P-CN r fl' First XI CRICKET, 1951 To assist R. Calton and G. H. Sherratt. Captain and Vice-Captain respectively. two other members of the 1950 Team, Read and Squire. were available. Six matches were played. four of which were won and two lost. All matches against other schools were won convincingly and Cowichan Cricket Club were also defeated. Reverses were suffered at the hands of Oak Bay and the University Incogs.,' This very satisfactory record was due in large part to the excellence of the School bowlers. Sherratt and Challoner. Calton. who was most unfortunate in missing a Century by one run against St. George's School. led the batsmen. scoring 150 runs and averaging 25. Read had an average of 13.83. For the third successive year Sherratt and Challoner monop- olized the bowling and once again proved to be a most formidable pair. Challoner took 32 wickets for 121 runs and Sherratt 23 for 125. The fielding of the side was only moderate. Colours were awarded to G. T. L. Read and H. XY. Squire. The official Team was as follows:-R. Calton. G. A. Sher- ratt. R. R. Challoner. G. T. L. Read. H. XY. Squire. A. N. Sundt, G. G. Rooper. R. H. Sundt. H. H. Bell. James lN'Ioffat and G. D. lIcCarter. ,7 The Clayton Cup, for which six teams competed, was won by Sherratt's side. The Colts had few matches but divided games with Shawni- gan Lake and defeated Glen Lyon School. The annual match between Vancouver and Victoria boys un- der 18. with the Cameron Cup at stake, was won this year by the home side, Victoria. R. R. Challoner captained the Victoria team and the School was also represented by G. T. L. Read, G. G. Rooper, R. H. Sundt and Higgs. R.w. FIRST XI MATCHES SCHOOL v. COWICHAN C.C. Opening the season at home on the last Saturday in April, the School were successful in defeating Cowichan C.C. by 44 runs. The visitors lacked practice, but the side contained some good men and the School did very well to dismiss them for 34, Challoner taking 7 for 12. For the School Read and Sundt I showed promis- ing form in an opening partnership, but apart from Sherratt the rest of the batting appeared feeble. COWICHAN C.C. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Heppenstall, ct.

GEORGE'S SCHOOL The School batted first on a splendid wicket at Brocton Point. Read and Calton putting on 99 for the first wicket. Both batted very well and their running between the wickets was outstanding. Calton was particularly good. All loose bowling was treated with severity and he drove straight and to the off with power. His placing of the ball on the leg side was very clever. 82 at lunch, he had made no mistake, but upon resumption of play he timed the ball poorly and was caught at mid-on when 99. Sundt II batted quite well but the tail failed and the innings closed for 173. Hallett, the St. George's Captain, made a gallant attempt to save the match and his innings of 40 was an excellent one under trying conditions. The innings eventually closed for 67, the School win- nig by 106 runs. Sherratt took 6 for 32. 29 UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Read, bld. Hallett , . , . ,..,... , , ,A -10 Sundt I, bld.

Some bright play at the end of the Shawnigan batting order brought their total to 60. Challoner took 6 for 19. For the School, Calton again made runs. Squire came in later on to hit a six and three fours in his 26 and Sundt II again batted in promising style. 30 SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Bellm, bld.

Very severe on bowling short of a length, and drove the over-pitched ball with power. Still prone to hit across the ball on his leg stump and has a definite weakness behind point, and a serious tendency to put his legs in front. Fast between the wickets and a splendid judge of a run. An excellent 'icoveru with a fast and accurate throw and safe hands. SHERRATT CYice-Captainl-An excellent bowler who turns the ball from the off and is learning to turn a slower one from leg. Improved with the bat and will do even better when he ceases to hit across the ball on his leg stump. An excellent field in any position. CHALLONER-Enjoyed the best season to date with the ball, his steady length bringing him his wickets. Improving with the bat and played some useful innings. Reliable in the field. READ-Played some good innings as an opening bat and has developed strokes all round the wicket. His running between the wickets, for- merly very bad, has improved greatly, as has his fielding. Wlith the ball he has definite possibilities. SQUIRE-Though he is not a real stumper his hands were very good and he kept wicket adequately. A dangerous man with the bat with his unorthodox but very powerful hitting. Keen to a degree and one of the most useful men on the side. SUNDT I-Greatly improved with the bat and played well in front of the wicket when the ball was well up to him. None too happy playing back. Active between the wickets but not a good judge of a run as yet. Slow and unreliable in the field. ROOPER-Promising with the bat, but rather passive as yet. He must learn to watch the ball more carefully and to move his feet quickly. Rather slow but reliable in the field. Very keen and promising. SUNDT II-Greatly improved all round. As a batsman he has patience and played some useful defensive innings. With the ball he keeps a fair length and should do very well next year. Keen but rather awk- ward in the field. BELL-Possessed no defence and hit across the ball consistently. Very good in the field. 31 MOFFAT II-Possesses great natural ability with the bat and, with ex- perience and increase in stature, should make many runs. With the ball he has distinct possibilities. Quick and active in the field, with safe hands and a good throw. MCCARTER-Shows promise with the bat, but is too passive and charit- able at present. As a bowler he possesses a nice action and swings the ball a trifle, but here again he lacks hostility. Rather slow in the field. CROSS COUNTRY The School annual Cross Country was run over much the same course as last year. One hundred and twenty-one boys com- peted and, as usual, the younger and lighter boys put up a very good show. The first man home and winner of the Old Boys' cup was Moffat I, who won comfortably. Legg I was second and Legg II third. To the first Junior home goes the Robertson cup. This year's winner was Ross, who finished thirteenth. On the basis of House competition Brentwood House were the winners. The Inter-Services College, Royal Roads, held their Invitation Cross Country race at Royal Roads on Nov. 29th. Six teams were entered. the first four from each team earning points for their respective teams. The School had to be content with fifth place, their first four finishing as follows:- Moffat I I .... 12th Fenton . . 17th Legg II ..... S 23rd Legg I .......... ...... ...... .,.. ......... 2 6 t h Moffat did well to place 12th. in an entry of forty-two. his time being 22:18 as against the winner's 21:1-l. As usual the race was very well organized and was enjoyed by the participants. who gained much useful experience. Victoria High School, who finished second at Royal Roads and were very strong this year. invited us to run over their course, all on pavement. and rather shorter than our own or the Royal Roads' run. Moffat I gained third place but the School were soundly beaten by a superior team. .RW. GRASS HOCKEY Grass Hockey was played as usual during the early part of the Christmas Term. On two occasions the XI defeated scratch sides which visited us and, when the rains came and Hockey gave way to Rugby, the Team was coming along well. Calton was an excellent Centre-Half and was well supported at Right-Half by Challoner. whose play was invariably sound. Squire was a Back of distinct promise. 32 During the Easter Term Professor H. IV. Wlarren brought over two sides of small boys from Ifniversity Hill School. Van- couver. L'nfortunately it proved very difficult to field teams of comparable ages. and the result was that the School won both matches by reason of their advantage in weight and speed rather than their ability as Hockey players. An enjoyable day was had by all however and we look forward to more even matches next year. RWV. TENNIS A very large number of boys took part in the Senior Tourna- ment this year. The Finals resulted in a long contest between Branson and Squire in which there were several fine rallies. Bran- son eventually winning the Championship 6-4. 3-6. 6--I. The Senior Doubles were won by Calton and Read, who de- feated Moffat II and Price I. Ritchie won the Junior Championship. defeating Vanden 6-O, 6-O, and was awarded the Queale Cup. YVe hope to see more Juniors competing next year. L.C.S. SWIMMING Recent improvements have included the installation of auto- matic heating in the Tank and there has been much activity in swimming circles. particularly during the Summer Term. The brunt of the training and general organization has fallen upon the capable shoulders of Mr. Jack Moffat and it was due mainly to his efforts that the Swimming finals. held on June 20th, were so successful. The House Championship was won fairly easily by Founders', but Calton was successful in the individual Championship, Brown I being a close second. The detailed results were as follows:- -IO yds.

BGXING The Boxing Finals took place on Blarch 9th. Once again there had been over a hundred eliminating bouts. in which yary- ing degrees of spirit and skill had been shown. and the finalists had reached their goal by the hard route. We were fortunate in having as judges Commodore C. I. Edwards. C.B.E., R.C.N. 1Rtd.'. Capt. W'. Holms. 0.B.. R.C.N. fRtd.1 and Brig. F. C. Cabeldu, C.B.E.. D.S.O. E.D.. O.B.

Baker of the J.B.A.A. and Mr. Carson. the School Rowing Club was launched during the Summer Term. and it was good to see the Brentwood Shells once again being put into ship-shape condition in the Quad- rangle. Our grateful thanks are due to R111 Baker and his col- leagues for giving so freely of their spare time in the face of many difficulties. and to the j.B.A.A. for its generous offer of assist- ance. lncidentally we must acknowledge here the receipt of a presentation Pennant and Badge from R111 Bruce Wlallace of the Haberfield Rowing Club. New South Wlales. These arriyed out of the Australian blue recently and we hope to be able to return the compliment in the near future. N111 Baker's report is giyen below. C.F.G. 34 ROWING CLUB The School Rowing Club was formed at the beginning of May under NI11 H. G. Baker as Coach. assisted by N111 Carson. Shillam acted as the first Club Captain. Due to the willing co- operation of the boys substantial progress has been made with the repairing of the shells. and our first efforts on the water were dis- tinctly promising. all members showing great keenness. At a meeting attended by Mr. Norman Edmonds, Coach of the j.B.A.A.. the support and facilities of this Club were kindly offered to all Rlembers of the School Rowing Club. Amongst the coming season's activities will be Inter-House competitions, and we also have in mind the possibility of our en- tering the British Empire Games. H. G. Baker. RIDING This year there was the usual number of boys enjoying them- selves at the Victoria Riding Academy-about three or four boys every Sunday. In proportion to the number of boys at the School. there should be more than just three or four boys engaging in this healthful sport because we have quite a few who know how to handle a horse. Mo1'eoy'e1' a great amount of fun is had by all those who do ride. I do feel that riding should be encouraged by all who know horses and also by the School Staff. I recently watched a Horse Show in which two School boys were entered. one a day boy and the other a boarder. Both the boys took prizes in their events and. I am sure. derived a great amount of enjoy- ment from this competitive sport. It does not take long to learn the fundamentals of riding but one could spend half a lifetime becoming really proficient. That is one thing that can be said for the sport-one is always learning something new. whether it be in riding or in the care and feeding of horses. In most horse shows there is a great variety of eventsi whether one prefers to ride XYe-stern style or English las is more usual hereaboutsi. All in all. riding is a wonderful sport whether one rides for pleasure or commercial reasons. C. C. Barman. THE GYMNASIUM Gym. . under Nlr. jack Moffatt land with the able and gen- erous assistance of Pro Rec generally . has again been popular this year. and great strides have been made by all Grades concerned.

Morgan CADET CORPS, 1950-1951 Possibly the most signal achievement of the Corps this year has been the resurrection of XII: Cropper. who. as everyone knows, was dead but refused to lie down. C.L.C.. rising as the Phoenix from his ashes. has travelled from strength to strength. until. to- wards the end of the Corps Year. his measured and penetrating tones were actually heard once again on the Parade Ground while once again the hackles gently rose on the heads of more than one raw recruitl. Numbers have remained steady at approximately 100. and a full programme has been efficiently carried out under Cadet Capt. Calton and Cadet Lieuts. Read. Shillam and Biorgan. This is not the place for a detailed Group report. and we will merely remark, en passant. that the plaintive fand. in our opinion, rather monotonous melody of the Blorse Key has been rarely absent from our ears: that the Bren-Gunners have performed every mir- acle with their weapon and its multitudinous parts except the final one of firing it: that the 1Yireless Xlen have practically slept o'nights swacldled in their instruments: that the I.-C.-Engine- Groupas Engine has invariably started up spontaneously and of its own accord on the approach of an Officer: that the Band has been as popular. as admired and as tuneful as ever: and that, in their respective lairs. Armourer Branson and C.Q.M.S. Kingham have kept careful watch and ward. and have at least learnt that invaluable Army lesson-how to produce, out of the 36 hat. the suave answer that blunteth the edge of investigation la suitably mixed metaphor for very mixed Professions. as every Old Sweat will agrees. The majority of the Morse Group won dis- tinction and the trusty Thow contrived that no First-Aider should fail. Fuller XN'ireless notes will be found elsewhere and the Shoot- ing. too. is the subject of a separate report: but we must congratu- late Mr. Cropper here on his ability to tread. with such a sure and airy step. the intricate and ever-shifting males of C. S. of C. Shooting Rules and Regulations. and on his perennial escape from sudden death by .22. in spite of a perpetual predilection for spot- ting with his nose one inch from No. l Bull. Activities included Lectures. Films. a Church Parade and at least one visit to the 75th Battery. but the general focal point was naturally the Annual Inspection. billed for Wednesday. Nfay 2. Some few parades before this event our hopes had sunk to Zero. and we could pardon the originality of a Corporal who was heard to remark. Thank Gawd weive got an Air Forcef, There had been an abnormal supply of raw and apparently inert material for No. 2 Platoon. and Lieut. Shillam and his hard-working N.C.O.s faced the situation with a desperate courage and innumerable buckets of blood. sweat and tears. The P.T. outlook was equally cloudy and Mr. Jack Moffat had to be forcibly rescued three times from a suicide's grave. Readers will not believe us when we state that a solid body like C.S.M. Squire could actually wilt on the Square, but wilt he did ithough not. perhaps. so much as the squads in his chargei. One of the earlier Bilarch Pasts reminded us singularly of the gait of a Canadian unit which we once saw in the Liri Valley near Cassino-a force that had been galloping for three days after a retreating and lootworthy enemy and. when in sight of them. had received an inexplicable order to retire. de- livered from a twenty-five miles in the rear. But a week or two before the actual event a subtle change came over the Company. and. by a steady reversal of form. it contrived to reach. on the actual Day. a peak of performance which was as high. if not higher. than last year's. The merely human carried themselves like Guardsmen. and the sub-human. who l'18.d pre- viously been incapable of putting one foot before the other. at any rate managed miraculously to make themselves inconspicuous. The Inspection. which was conducted under the auspices of Brig. Ae. MCB. Bell-Irving ian Old Boy and was watched by a large crowd of parents and friends. produced for us a rating of over QOQ. and we understood from the adjudicating officials that marks were lost only in connection with aspects of training beyond our scope. No. 1 Platoon iLieut. Read was declared Best Platoon fby a short head over No. 3 i. but the whole Company's performance has been summed up in an unsolicited letter from a visiting Officer. who has expressed the desire that we should publish it anony- mously. lN'hile the crack,' which followed the first order to Present Arms dies away lit is still echoing round the Quad- rangle i. we will content ourselves with modestly reminding all and 37 sundry that we were one of the very few prophets who were wont to say. It'll be alright on the afternoon. C.F.G.. Lt. IMPRESSIONS OF A SPECTATOR AT THE ANNUAL INSPECTION Having for a number of years been interested in Cadet work in other parts of Canada. and being a comparative newcomer to Victoria. I felt a keen desire to witness the Annual Inspection of the University School Cadet Corps. QI had heard from Cadet Training Officers of the permanent Army that I would not be dis-- appointed. 1 On my arrival at the School grounds my friends and I were met by the Scouts. who graciously handed us pamphlets of the proceedings and conducted us to chairs encircling the reviewing stand. The Corps. about 100 strong. was already in position await- ing the arrival of the Inspecting Officer, and the visitors and par- ents were waiting not impatiently for the proceedings to begin. The Ceremonial Drill which opened the display was a remarkable movement of precision. I should imagine that the Band, under the command of a tall. smart-looking Drum Major. had proved itself to be an invaluable asset throughout the year's training. It was a real treat to listen to commands audibly given and to watch the precision wherewith they were executed. May I here digress to compliment the C.Q.M.S. on the gen- eral appearance of the Cadets. indicative of much work well done 1probably with little or no thanksw prior to the Inspection. I could detect nothing arniss in either equipment or uniforms. As the Cadets passed the Reviewing Stand perspiring fore- heads were much in evidence. The long wait, however. had not interefered with their poise. and no sign was there. as far as I could see. of any individualas being overcome. It was evident that the Cadets and their Officers were bent on giving of their best. attaining and holding the high standard of past years and demonstrating to us on the side-lines the esprit de corps and comradeship inherent in the School. The two Physical Training Classes delighted the spectators. The performers gave us a splendid exhibition and thoroughly de- served the applause that followed. I am taking the liberty of singling out for special praise the Cadet Captain and Sgt.-Major. These senior Cadets carried out their many duties in an exemplary manner. I think they were magnificent throughout. The afternoon's display was to me most enjoyable and re- flected great credit on the Headmaster and his Staff. May. 1951. 38 Shooting VIII YYith Vbodward Cup The Band 39 SHOOTING, 1950-1951 The new programme of Recreational Shooting has been in full swing this year. Despite the fact that much spare time has been devoted to this activity lx in addition to the normal shooting periodsl the Corps can only boast of fifteen First Class shots, two Marksmen and one Expert. These figures speak for themselves. The new course is no sinecure: it calls for patience, determination and concentration-virtues that have to be cultivated. For the benefit of those who have enjoyed shooting at the old type of recreational'target and who could score possibles any time they wished, it might be as well to say that the new target is the five-diagram D.C.R.A., and that ten scores of 8092 have to be registered to qualify as a First Class shot, ten 90's for Marks- man . 10 95's for Expert and ten 97's for Distinguished Mar'ks- mann. Our two Marksrnen are H. H. Bell and A. G. Coxg our Expert is WV. Robertson. who. I understand. is the first Cadet in the Province to reach this high standard of shooting. It is to be hoped that the awards. described in a bulletin over a year ago, will reach the School in due course. and that there will be suf- ficient targets available for everyone next year. Whether the new system has improved the School shooting or not is a moot point. In the writer's opinion, it has been bene- ficial for a few of the experienced seniors, but has acted as a deter- rent on the juniors. who feel that the first goal is beyond their reach. The Corps has-with a strugglehtaken part in the custom- ary competitions. Lack of time has made it impossible to extend this feature. The Woodward Trophy Competition took place in October. We were fortunate enough to win the Cup back with an average score of 906252. Last year we were placed second with a percent- age of 91.2. SCORES Bell . . 90 Kingham C 90 Tyson , , 85 Bigelow .

WIRELESS Considerable use has been made of the Radio Shack equipment not only in regular training periods but also in leisure moments throughout the year. lVe have attempted nothing spec- tacular but have made steady progress in all departments. The Group has numbered about a dozen and the Group Lead- ers have been R. lrVestwood and 'after his departurew E. R. Legg. These Cadets must be congratulated on their joint ability to spend the maximum amount of time on their instruments with the mini- mum number of clashes with the various Powers that Be. The following pieces of equipment have been in use: 2 No. l9 Radio Sets, 2 No. 58 lN'alkie-Talkiesf' -l Field Telephones, -I Remote Control Ifnits, 1 Switch Board. No new equipment has been added during the year but work has been started on a Test-Meter which, it is hoped, will be completed in the near future. Regular contacts were made with Qualicum College and on Inspection Day a full scale demonstration was given. Our per- formance consisted of a miniature field operation and, in addition to the instruments already mentioned, we introduced a radio- equipped jeep I by courtesy of the 75thl and a Morse lamp. Junior Xlorse instruction has been carried out by I. R. Kin- nell and E. R. Legg has conducted operation of the radio equip- ment and further Morse. A. Goodacre will be in charge of the 'Radio Shack for the coming session. David Privett. -ll Scouts and Cubs under Lt.-Col. R. Girard SCOUTS lVe have pleasure in recording the revival of the School Scout Troop and Cub Pack. Their activities have provided an invaluable addition to School life, particularly where the Intermediates and juniors have been concerned, and a tremendous amount of un- obtrusively hard and successful work has been carried out by Lt.-Col. Girard. His report is published below. C.F.G. The University School group was granted a charter on Octo- ber 23, 1950 fthe original charter was dated 19101. The group consists of a Boy Scout Troop and a Wolf Cub Pack.

The Scout Hall. situated in Harvey House. is in constant use by all members of the Group. During the year many boys have taken part in outside activities such as Junior Leaders' Conference. Public Services and Hikes. The Troop. through District is at the disposal of the Civil Defence Co-ordinator. SCOUT CAMP In the early morning of June 23rd, the Troop embussed in the Scout three-ton lorry. driven by the District Commissioner. The load consisted of 2 Scout Leaders. 23 Scouts and baggage and the destination was Camp Barnard lx for seven days 5. A halt was made at Sooke to take on rations and fasten safety belts to negotiate the four-mile logging road to the camp. The Troop was fortunate in being the only unit in residence. The area was divided into a and three Patrol sites. Camp stores and rations were issued. tents were put up and stoves built and dining tables and benches were erected. so that by the end of the first day home was never like this. A typical day consisted of the following routine: Reveille 16.00 a.m.i. breakfast. cleaning the lines, morning parade. Flag Break and prayers: Scouting. swimming and fishing. After lunch. rest period. then instruction and Scoutcraft. swimming. boating and swimming. After the evening meal-an allowance of one chocolate bar and one bottle of soft drink at the canteen. Finally a camp fire with songs and stories and, after the Lowering of the Flag and a short prayer. a small snack and lights out. Only a few slept under canvas. Fresh meat. milk and vegetables were received daily from Sooke and the Scout lorry was available in camp. The cooking under the patrol system went most satisfactorily and all the chefs passed their tests for the Camp Cooking Badge. Swimming was the most popular subject in the training syllabus. All ranks were very happy to receive visits from the Head- master, members of the staff and many parents. The Troop is very grateful to the Executive District Commissioner for all his help and experienced advice. On the eve of our departure the Patrol put on a most entertaining impromptu show. The rations were of the best quality land quantityl, the weather ideal and the health of the boys perfect. Unfortunately the Troop had to return to Victoria on the 29th of june without a Cougar. although most of the boys claimed to have tracked and seen mountain lions. R.G., Lt.-Col. 43 PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB This year the Photography Club has gone ahead with very few sore spots. In September Doupe was elected President and Halvorsen Secretary-Treasurer. The membership was soon filled out. with the addition of many junior members and several new boys. Mr. Campbell has been master in charge. To start our work a brand new stock of chemicals was bought. while the Club was indebted to Bolman for the loan of enlarger. contact box and a few minor articles. The first enterprise of the year was the mass production of Passport Photos for students' theatre cards. Many of the pictures were sold and a slight profit was made. Next Sundt II took a picture of the lst. XV and sold some copies throughout the School. llncidentally this October production stole a six months, march on the official pho- tographer r. One interesting highlight of the year was when Mr. Campbell invited Mr. Fred Tanner of the Victoria Photo Supply Company to come to the School and give us a talk on Photography. He in- troduced us to several innovations and answered all the questions that we chose to ask. At the end of the meeting he distributed literature on colour photography. types of flash and flood bulbs, Von-L developers etc. Most of the members of the club are still looking forward to the best picture-taking of the year. as many choice opportunities are still before us. Sports Day will bring many exposures and the whole Summer season is the ideal time for photography generally. C. Doupe. DEBATING SOCIETY This year the Debating Society has been run on voluntary lines with a membership limited to 30. This has proved to be an entirely beneficial change and we have had a most successful season. Eight meetings were held and the subjects debated ranged from That compulsory military service should be introduced in Canada fwon 16-l-lv to That chewing gum is a disgusting habitn ilost 13-171. A successful innovation was a series of short, impromptu debates with the names of the proposer and opposer of each motion drawn from a hat. Perhaps the season's highlight was the debate A woman's place is in the homef' in which the opposition was led by two charming and accomplished guest-speak- ers from Victoria College. However, in spite of the persuasive arguments of Miss Carstens and Miss Lindstrom, the motion was just carried by l7 votes to 15. Though no really outstanding speakers emerged, the general level of speeches was quite good. If there was less oratory than last year there was certainly more solid debating. Robertson offici- ated as Vice-President with dignity and skill, while Brown I was extremely helpful and capable in the office of secretary. G.A.B. 4-l MUSIC The article in last year's Black and Red on this subject began with an unverified quotation which, I believe, it took Mr. G-N-E at least five hours to track down. correct and put into the mouth of the actual character who spoke it. So we will avoid such pitfalls this year and merely remark that there are perhaps less young men fit for treasons. stratagems and spoils than was the case a year ago. The reason for this is that all Forms have been subjected to one period a week each of musical indoctrination: from the Music Master's point of view it has been found that some of the keenest listeners have been in the Fifth and Sixth Forms, which is probably natural as, by the time lads are sixteen or seventeen. they have begun to realise the worth of some acquaintance with the master minds of previous generations in artistic subjects. It is so very important that school days should not be considered as just work and playg it is in such a subject as Music that one learns to use the mind not only to make the hard decisions of life but also as a means of obtaining that enjoyment of cultural things which can be continued for years after school and college days are over. In this connection is was good to know that nearly twenty boys took out Junior Membership Cards for the Victoria Symphony Society's students' concerts. The Music Master would be a super-optimist if he were to believe that very boy in the School would understand every piece of symphonic music by the time he had passed his Junior Ma- tric. but it is very rewarding that boys. just before leaving, should come to express appreciation and gratitude for being allowed to hear a few symphonies of the Great Masters and some modern works, and to know that they will probably make further explora- tions of this new territory for themselves. The whole School, I am sure, has enjoyed learning some five new hymns and songs, notably Parry's setting of Blake's jeru- salem and the grand old German hymn L'ttingden to the words NWorship the Lord in the beauty of Holiness. We were not so fortunate with the YVelsh tune which we tried to Once to every man and nation as it was in a minor key and tended to be lugub- rious, but I have it on the authority of the Rev. Lowe that we quite shook St. Luke's, when the Corps held its annual Church Parade, by requesting a completely new set of tunes instead of the old stand-bys. In view of our success here it may be fitting to close with a quotation instead of using one at the beginning. It was Wlilliam Byrd, one of the great English composers of the Tudor period, who said- Since singing is so good a thing I wish all men would learne to singef' Graham Steed. 45 THE VIVAT PLAYERS Full credit must be given to the Vivat', Players. who blos- somed for a short space last Christmas and produced an efficient end-of-term play with very little solid outside assistance. Quimby Comes Across ultimately came across very well indeed. and we pay full tribute to an enthusiastic group which began with the initial disadvantage of no stage and no properties. but by dint of application and perseverance achieved something really worth staging and witnessing. Prime mover and producer in the venture was Richard Jack- son: others in the cast were john Bigelow. Derek llason. Ian Tyson. David Birley. David Sumbardo and Allan Brown. Of ma- terial assistance in the production were Bob Otis. Tom Haley. Warren Cooper. Derek llacdonald. Jim Bolman. Kent Halvorsen. David Privett. Edward Legg. llrs. Ritchie. Christopher Barman and Mr. Menelaws. C.F.G. CANDIDATES ARE URGED TO USE INK . . . University School heroes who have braved. or intend to brave. the Blatriculation exam.-room must often wonder exactly what happens to their papers between the time when they are left. for better or for worse. on the Invigilator's table and the fateful day when that modest little result-form arrives from the Department of Education. The writer has had experience as a marker with the local Division of Examinations and may be able to give some in- formation and reassurance wand a little light advice 1. Markers are drawn from the Teaching Staffs of British Co- lumbia and must have adequate academic qualifications and be able to confess to several years' teaching service in this Province. Of paramount importance. too. are other qualifications. such as the valiant patience of a job. a touching trust in the ultimate effic- acy of youth and an unshakable conviction that all is really for the best in the wickedest of worlds. but these are qualities which cannot alasli be previously proved. The scintillating assembly which decides your destinies is incarcerated. at the beginning of july. in a large edifice near Parliament Buildings. and I would be the first to agree that a throng of 200 Schoolmasters and School- marms gathered together in one place for the long space of ten days constitutes one of the grimmer spectacles. Your liarkers are grouped in Subject Committees and your writer has been a mem- ber of the Classical Committee. which is a reasonably typical com- bination. Each Committee sits spaced round a long table with the Chairman at the head. Chairmen are invariably kindly. sympa- thetic men with supercharged qualifications. and they gaze at their Committees benignly enough through enormous Horn Rims-for the first day or two. at any rate. Nly last Chairman was a Member of the Staff of the ljniversity of British Columbia. who had had -P6 the advantage of a Classical education and. naturally. escliewed Horn Runs and maintained his seraphic mien until the bitter end. You must not imagine that marking begins immediately. Supremely important is the preliminary discussion which takes place over each Question Paper. a discussion which is usually of the most intense nature. Indeed the Rev. Lowe lwho has marked on the English Sider informs me that at the English table such debates can reach white heat. and once. I believe. an eraser was thrown rthough this was hushed up. of coursel. In any case. the Question Papers are. almost literally. torn to pieces and the exact significance of every little piece is determined. together with the exact proportion of marks to be allotted. Then there are such considerations as the detection of unfair questions. of ambiguous questionsl Nlarkers are broad-minded. and you would be sur- prised. Smith II. at the many shades of meaning registered as acceptable translations of the verb amo 1 and of misleading questions. The last may even be given a bonus', of a mark each. whether you have attempted them or not. At the Classical Table marking is conducted on the chain system fso far have Henry Ford's methods invaded this realm of culturel. and your Papers :previously dried of tears and sweat lr leave the Chairman and travel round and back to him again. Each Marker is given one section of the Question Paper and he lor shes may possibly retain this section throughout the ten days' session. This ensures a level standard of marking. but a particular section may prove very harrowing to the nerves after a long spell and. if a Marker' is observed to be quietly foaming at the mouth. his sec- tion is gently eased from his clenched fingers and another substi- tuted. The steady grind rand it IS a IHGSt definite grindu con- tinues for the better part of eight hours per diem. while around and about. on noiseless feet. flit the emissaries of the Division of Examinations. each bearing information. advice and a spare mark- ing-pencil. At set times MaI'kCI'S are unchained to imbibe a liquid brewed in the bowels of the building and called tea or coffee according to taste. You are well aware that your Papers carry no marks of iden- tification except your numbers: but if you are Teacher's Pet 1Smith III it is vain for you to base any hopes on the possibilities that Teacher himself may be marking and may recognize your messy caligraphy. In the first place. every Kiarker seems to develop a singular and peculiar integrity lperhaps it is something to do with a Love of Scholarshipl, and, in the second. after a day or two of the grind it is found to be almost impossible to distinguish one handwriting from another. On the other hand. you may rest assured that your efforts will receive every consideration and that absolutely nothing will be overlooked. Your Papers will be ex- amined forwards. backwards. inside-out. upside-down and edge- on, and you will be surprised to hear that some errant scrawl which is merely one of your doodles may show evidence of knowledge to a lynx-eyed Nlarker and be given due recognition. 47 Yet again, you will have been urged many times to cultivate legi- bility and neatness. These do produce some sort of good impres- sion, of course, but the average Marker wades imperturbably through any and every variety of ink, pencil or blood and acquires a ready faculty for disentangling the veriest scrabble. If one of you is a First-Class Candidate but somewhere makes a slip obviously due to rush or nerves, the error will probably be forgiven and the mark allowed. Yet once more, if you are Latin or Greek Can- didates you will be marked on your capabilities in either of those languages. and common errors in your English will not be taken into account. Moreover, no Marker will regard Him- or Herself as a Final and God-given Arbiter, but will frequently consult other Blarkers andfor the Chairman on the desirability of some assess- ment. Very occasionally the Chairman, of his own accord, will consider that some section has been marked too highly and will politely intimate that a reduction would be a good thing. Very, very poor Papers and very, very good Papers are scanned and re- scanned in case an undetected portion of a potential mark may lurk in an odd corner. 4So you will realise, Smith II, that, if you mind your book and have any modicum of merit in you, you should have few fears for next June. J A different Marker will total the marks for each page, yet another will check these additions in the most detailed and pains- taking manner and yet a third will test the final total. These pre- cautions may appear fantastic, but after several days of mark- juggling it is quite possible to develop the rooted conviction that two and two make five 1' or even sixl. Nor is this the conclusion of the matter. Long after the Committees have broken up and the bits have been wheeled gibbering to their homes, an Adjudicating Circle of Very Important People will be sitting over your results and making final estimations, and I have heard that the Superior Skill of these Adjudicators has been able, occasionally, to discover an extra mark for a forty-nine-per-center. Two words of advice may be given. Firstly, do not indulge in fancy fireworks away-off. above and beside the point, in the hope that they will blind Markers to the real state of affairs. Markers wear blinkers. Secondly, do not perpetrate flippancies unless they are very brief, witty and original and you are all super- latively promising Candidates. Do not, for instance, scribble at the end of a Paper, HEasy to mark! . . . see you next August, or write a wistful Thank-you very much at the side of the Score Box. Markers are only human and they are sometimes tired. Lastly. you need not be apprehensive that your Papers may be in the hands of a collection of crabbed old men and women, soured by decades of previous experience. After two years of ses- sions a Marker is usually considered to be no longer fit for any sane occupation and is relegated entirely to his teaching profession for the rest of his shortened existence. C.F.G. CPublished with the sanction of the Assistant Registrar, Division of Examinationsj 48 FIR WINDS During the middle of September there are usually several heavy gales. These have become so recognized that all small craft owners along the Coast bring their vessels into port a week or two before the winds start. In the Autumn of 1950 there were no such gales. This worried many a fisherman. because once the September winds are over it is usually clear sailingl' till the winds that come in january, and, since these winds did not appear. nobody was quite sure what the weather was going to do. In January the barometer suddenly went up to one of the highest recordings ever registered in Klidwinter on the B.C. coast: and a few days later it happened! A series of terrific winds swept up and down the coast. The first set of gales blew up from the south-east, and a few days later, to many people's amazement. the winds completely changed their direction to westerly. It was the change which did so much damage. for the first winds loosened the roots on one side of the trees while the second set loosened the other side. In ad- dition these gales were blowing with great force. and it was not surprising that many hundreds of firs and other trees were felled. The reason for the change in the direction of the winds is inexplic- able, but those that were lacking in September were probably de- layed for such an occasion. To watch the sea thunder upon the rocks with such tremend- ous vigour or the giant firs crash resoundingly upon the ground was an experience which comes once in a blue moon. The sad part was that the destruction of so many trees spoilt so much natural scenery. An example of this was given by the trees which fell so gracefully around the Headmaster's domain. Incidentally it is an unusual wind that does not bring something unex- pected and few of us realized what work was in store for us. For the winds brought unexpected snow and cold weather: therefore. instead of our customaiy games. we were reduced to the daily piling of logs! F. B.

Nash 11910-'12 P, who now resides in Summerland. l3.C. He brought the sad news of the passing of P. Schofield early this year. Another interesting visitor during the Easter Term was D. R. RI. Pickard. who flew from Abadan in Iran by way of Australia and New Zealand. Douglas was retired from the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company just prior to the recent outbreak of trouble there. and is now weighing the possibilities of a move from England to either Canada or the Antipodes. XN'ord has reached the School of the success of our Old Boys at NIcGill University. At the Convocation on Nlay 28th. 1951. the following Old Boys received honours as shown:- Degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery- E. C. F. Holstein-Rathlou. Degree of Doctor of Nledicine and Blaster of Surgery- J. F. B. Cupples. BA. Alexander Thomas. BA. RI. A. Vernon. B.A. 15th. place high aggregate standing The continued success of D. Ballantyne at Victoria College will be of interest to Old Boys of recent vintage. This year. his second year. David headed the Commerce Class and received the Standard Furniture Cofs Scholarship of S100. Another Old Boy to receive a degree recently is D. Rlorgan. He was named the distinguished military graduate of his class at Georgetown lfniversity in XX'ashington. D.C.. and received a Bach- elor of Science Degree in Foreign Service. Hiord has also been received of the academic success of O. B. Morgan at Toronto L'niversity. Owen has graduated in Food Chemistry. heading his class and taking First Class Honours. A distinguished Old Boy has returned to the Pacific Coast in the person of Commodore E. P. Tisdall. who has taken over command of H.NI.C.S. Naden. The Canadian Press poll of Sports Editors. in choosing out- standing Canadian athletes in various branches of sport, elected Jack Wlright as the outstanding Tennis player developed in Can- ada in the last 50 years. The same poll voted Percy lN'illiams. who won the 100 metres and 200 metres at Amsterdam in 1928. as the finest Canadian Track star of the last half-century. Kiany will remember the prowess of jack XYright on the School courts. and it is only fairly recently that a record made by Percy XN'illiams on a School Sports Day was beaten. 51 James A. Brown has recently received word that he has been accepted by de Havillands. He will leave for England in the near future to devote himself to the work on which he has always been so keen. His brother. Christopher, is doing well in H.M.S. Conway. and in his fifth term has been made Cadet Captain of the Band. We regret to record the passing of YV. Tolmie at Vancou- ver. B.C., on Nov. 18th, 1950. YVendy Tolmie was a member of Kilpatrick's famous Football XV of 1914-'15-generally accepted as being the strongest in the School's history. MARRIAGES HICKS-ELLIQTT-A. H.

Dear Black and Red : I am no longer in Berlin but stationed in Munich as I had a little trouble with the Russian Authorities and was shipped to a new station. I really enjoyed being in Berlin. which used to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world and even now remains attractive. The Russian part is practically rebuilt by forced la- bour, I understandv but the most developed part is in the British Zone. I am at my old task-an interesting one-in Rlunich and should be able to land a very good job at some Air Port when I am back in the States. I hear that Kirk is now an Officer with a Canadian outfit back East. Kreger. too. and fwlorrison are in the Services and I think even Schmitz had to get out or be drafted. It seems a long time since I was marching in the Band to Church. I would like to know what has happened to all my con- temporaries: it would be very nice to see them again. I have enjoyed my Service fairly well but will be glad to get back to my old haunts. It will be a very happy day when I can walk into the Headmaster's Office without any fear and have a look at the old place again. I am very anxious to see Bill's abode and the old shooting range again. I hate to close but have just been relieved from duty and must get out. Yours very sincerely. O. P. MORROXY. Hq. K Hq.
