On the debit side. however, the school suffered a great loss on May llth in the death of Dr. Wo1'tliing'ton. formerly a parent and later for many years a governor of the school. A generous benefactor. a lively and wise counsellor, he will be much missed. The vacancy created on the Board of Governors has been filled by Major Wiser who already is so much a part of the school that only the Board itself is left to offer him a welcome. It is an appointment which has given great satisfaction to both past and present members of the school. House Prefects were: jones, Higgs I. School Prefects: Roome I. Robinson, Gordon, Tozer.

previous .lune with Latin and Greek as additional subjects and better than 9ll'k in both Physics and Maths. This year Christopher completed his Senior Matric at age I5 with 950 in Physics and 9602 in Maths. There is some very promising material in the present Grade XI but it will be some years before we see Senior Matric dealt with so handsomely at such an early age. Both brothers are now at L'.B.C. and doing well. The successful debut of Remove B under Mi'. l':unch's able direction first at the school concert and then in the Greater Victoria Drama Festival. wherein they were placed in the final six. The success of Gough and Nlandy in the Music Festival and the delightful musical evening arranged by Mr. Hodgson with the assistance of Miss Ruth Champion and Mr. Stanley Martin. The address by Niajor-General G. R. Pearkes, V.C.. M.P.. on Armistice Day. He has already done this twice for us and we wish he would make it an annual affair. The interesting lectures given by Major Rex Gibson on Mountaineering and Asst. Commissioner Rivett-Carnac. R.C.M.P.. on life in the North. The Mount Everest Lecture in Victoria by Sir Edmund Hillary and the address by Air Marshal Sir Philip Livingston, K.C.B.. etc. The ball for a small party of seniors. escorted by N112 Hyde- Lay and the Headmaster. at The Annie Wlright Seminary. Tacoma. a school activity which was not filmed by the newly formed S.P.S.W. tSociety for the Promotion of the School,s Wfelfarel but undertaken as a climax to the ballroom dancing lessons which were inaugurated this year. The vast improvement in the singing and enjoyment of Mor'n- ing Prayers brought about by the magnificent gift of a Steinway Grand by John Bevan. The Home Rugger Games against St. George's. All three matches were won-the first time this triple triumph has been achieved by either school. The lst XV match was an epic struggle which will long be remembered by those privileged to see it. Fox's effort in breaking the mile record and Rooper's dash to equal the existing record in the 100 yards. Less spectacular-but still outstanding-were Cabeldu's triumph for the third consecutive year in the Junior Cross Country. Fox's repeat win in the Senior Cross Country and Rooper winning the Senior Championship for the second time. The consistently high scores for the weekly shooting buttons and the smartness of the Sunset Ceremony. All in all it has been a good year and not least do we rejoice in the return to health of Mr. VVenman whose stentorian tones are to be heard yet again on the rugger field. 7
