In January the Head attended the Annual Conference of the Canadian Independent Schools' Association at Ridley College. It was an interesting and valuable experience while the beautiful Chapel and the 5i5200,000.00 Dining HallACloisters tbuilt as a War' Memorial? have given much food for thought. Old Boys please note-especially the Chapel. The Head' also represented B.C. at the Pacific Northwest Independent Schools, Association at Tacoma, Washington, in October but the combination of a fog-bound plane which caused him to miss the first dayls discussion and the lack of the school rising bell which caused him to miss the morning after detracted somewhat from the educational value of the trip. Among distinguished visitors to the School we were particularly glad to have Maj.-General Pearkes, V.C., M.P., on Remembrance Day, Canon Beatty to give the Address at the Coronation Service and Father Charles, who spent several days with us in May and whose presence was an inspiration and delight to us all. The Monterey Cypress hedge around the grounds-the gift of Dir. Cu lesehas taken firm root and in a few years will give s 1 n I D the privacy which the large housing development on the old Chinamen's garden has now made so necessary. - Two concrete wickets have been laid at the expense of Major XVise who continues to take a great interest in the School. The Majorn has personally supervised the restoration of the Cricket square and donated both the spraying equipment and a new Atco motor-mower to assist the work. At long last Harvey House has been restored to its proper role as a Lower School. The generosity of parents and Governors has made this possible and already. with 38 out of its 40 beds occupied, it is flourishing.

Accounts of the various school functions will be found else- where in this magazine. Sufficient be it to say here that all functions were carried through with satisfactory despatch and with great pleasure to participants and spectators alike. Congratulations are in order to: Russell Challoner for being the first son of an Old Boy to win the Ker Cup. David Cheeke and Pat Crofton for gaining election to Royal Roads where they have joined Ian Kingham and Jeremy Brown. now a Cadet Squadron Leader. David and Christopher Huntley for their performances in Matric, particularly in Maths. where the former gained 920 and the latter 969 in Senior and junior respectively. The Rev. Lowe for having a police escort to accompany him to Morning Prayers. D . Joe lNIandy for being placed first in B.C. in the Toronto Conservatory Grade VIII examination. The Shooting VIII on retaining the XN'oodward Trophy. Miss Bidwell and her Art Class for their success in the Canadian Independent Schools competition at Ridley. The University School Cadet whose Drill at the 'Sunset Ceremony' was so enthusiastic that he slapped his rifle to pieces 'but not to the member of another unit who dropped hisi. Mr. lN'enman was obliged to take sick leave in October but is now well on the way to full recovery. It would be an under- statement to say that he has been missed and Old Boys and everyone will be glad to learn that he will be able to resume normal duties next year. During the latter half of the Christmas Term Mr. Hyde-Lay took over Mr. lVenman's work. He then left for a six months P.T. course in Switzerland and has now returned as a permanent member of the staff. Vie are very glad to have him with us. We welcome warmly also N112 Hodgson. who came from England to assume the direction of the School Music: Mr. Seale. who comes from Ireland via Southern Rhodesia and whose vivid green of the London-Irish contrasts brightly on the playing fields with the red of Mr. Hyde-Lay's London-Scottish: and Mr. Bunch from England. whose enthusiasm for Hockey will do much to help this splendid game, which must perforee be somewhat of a Cinderella in B.C. Sport. Mr. Melly was obliged to return to England for business reasons and we hope that it is au revoir and not 'Goodbyef' In the two years he was here his quiet enthusiasm for all things connected with the School and in particular his assistance in the refounding of the Lower School were great. 1
