C.F.C1 J SCHOCL NOTES In 1913-1-1 enrollment reached 232. Little more than twenty years later it fell to 19. NVhile present day knowledge of the dangers of over-crowding would forbid us ever again reaching that peak. it seems equally unlikely that we should ever again fall so low. The ideal distribution is 120 boarders and 80 day boys and, with a present enrollment of 106 boarders and 75 day boys. this is well in sight. During the holidays a number of applicants had to be refused as some Grades were over-subscribed, but on opening day a number of boys. for whom parents had requested and reserved space, simply failed to materialize. to the consequent disappointment both of the school and the unsuccessful applicants. lt has not been a particularly good year for the school. On the playing fields we did badly. only the midgets keeping the flag flying. and. while we did better than expected academically. we were below the average of the past seven years. Gnly the Cadet Corps was outstanding as ever and this .with the success in the realms of music and drama relieved an otherwise dull year. We cannot hope always to break records and perhaps a poor year occasionally is a sobering influence to make us less self-satisfied and more eager to put our backs into the constant struggle. In this respect it has done us good. for. as these notes go to press, there is definitely a more eager spirit in the school. teams are more promising. the sixth more hopeful, and l am sure that, when record of this present year comes to be written. it will show that the school is out of the doldrums. Lastly. to end on a really bright note-Hearty congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Genge on the arrival of a brother for Peter. H.M. SPEECH DAY Guests invited to the Forty-Ninth Annual Speech Day were informed that the prizes would be presented and the address given by the Hon. Ray Williston. HA.. Nlinister of Education. At the last moment Mr. Hlilliston was detailed by the Premier to represent the HC. Government on the inaugural flight by C.P.A. over the Polar Route to Europe. He in turn detailed Dr. Campbell. the Deputy Nlinister and Superintendent of Education. to represent him on Speech Day and the school was therefore doubly fortunate in that Dr. Gampbell's presence for the occasion was assured and B111 NVilliston's for the 6 future, in earnest of which Nlrs. XN'illiston accompanied Dr. Campbell and later in the day presented the Sports awards. ln the absence of N111 lYinslow in England the chair xv as taken by Brig. Cabeldu. Vice Chairman of the Governing Body. and among the Governors on the platform it was most pleasing to see N111 Ditmars who. despite the tiring journey from Vancouver. looked a great deal younger than his ninety years. Following O Canada. tht proceedings opened with the reading of Ecclesiastes 12 bv P. Greenhouse and an excellent rendering of Bach's Jesu .Ioy ofiKifan's Desiringf' by the School Choir. The Headmaster's Report followed and Dr. Campbell then presented the prizes and gave his address. Despite the additional burden necessitated by the lN1inister's absence from the Province. Dr. Campbell somehow had found time to prepare this address most carefully and it is not too much to say that everyone. boys and parents alike. thoroughly enjoyed it. His presence and that of Klrs. XN'illiston is but another proof of the kindly interest which the high officials of the Department of Education take in B.C.'s senior independent school. -I. A. Leon as Head Prefect thanked Dr. Campbell most ably. no mean feat when it is recalled that not long ago his only language was Spanish. and the compliment paid him by Brig. Cabeldu who spoke last was well deserved. The School Song was sung with gusto and the Queen ended yet another successful Speech Day. H.M.

Governor of the School. No Old Boy who was here within the past six years will learn of Klajor lN'ise,s death without personal regret. Few were the afternoons when his cheerful figure was not seen on the playing fields. not merely watching the matches. but personally directing the improyement of the grounds. encouraging young bowlers. or humourously chastising a tackler for failing to go low. He was part and parcel of the School and it was only fitting that he should die here while watching a game he loyed so well and at which in his youth he had been an outstanding exponent. It was significant of the affection and esteem in which he was held that the whole School yoluntarily attended funeral services either at the Cathedral or in their own particular churches. By his presence and his actions he endeared himself to boys ol all ages and by his personal example he pointed a way of life which all could admire and seek to emulate. H.M. 9 BOlYDE.NAlt is with great regret that we record the death of Nfiss E. Bowden. who passed away in Victoria on September 28th. 1955. at the age of 87. Miss Bowden's period of service at lfniversity School far sur- passed in length that of any previous Nfatron. and few have served the School as long in any capacity. In 1921 she succeeded Mrs. Clowes as Senior House Matron and then. following a year in Eastern Canada. returned to University School in 1923 to remain until 19-15. when she left because of poor health. Strict. and somewhat Spartan in her methods. she in no way encouraged sickness. and her long experience enabled her to spot the malingerer with ease: yet those really in need invariably received efficient and kindly treatment at her hands. Her sense of humour was quiet but acute to a degree. and all her memories were of the boys. in whose training she played no small part. and of the School. for which she had a serious affection. Bliss Bowden deserved well of University School. and those who knew her best will remember her years of faithful service with gratitude. 'WATSON-On February Srd. 195-1. there passed. in the person of Sgt.-Xlajor Samuel Watson. one of the personalities of University School. After leaving us in 1932 the Sgt.-Nfajor resided in Victoria. and, later. on Saltspring Island. where he died aged seventy-three. Sammy , lN'atson came to the School in 1919 and assumed control of the Cadet Corps. Outdoor and Indoor Shooting. Boxing and all P.T. and Gymnastic Work. He was a Bisley Shot of note. and during his stay the Seniors spent much profitable and enjoyable time on the ranges. first at Clover Point and later at Heal's. Efficient to a degree and a firm disciplinarian. he saw to it that the high standard of the Corps was maintained. and many a University Schoolboy had reason to be grateful for this discipline and training. Off Parade he could turn his hand to anything. from the building of chimneys to the painting of crests and fancy lettering in the gymnasium. VVith his wife he also presided at the Tuck Shop. His aggressive and immaculate appearance on Parade. his word of command and the purpose it engendered. his waxed moustache. his tall stories. his humour and his somewhat vitriolic language will live long in the memory of many Old Boys.

SPORTS DAY The Annual Athletic Sports took place on Saturday, May 4th, and we were once again blessed with appropriate weather. The general standard of performance was excellent and showed some promise of a return to record-breaking heights in the future. Distinctions would be inyidious, but two Winners stood out, in our estimation. In the Al-10 yards under 16 Storr Lwho gathers strength with ager ran with style and determination to win on the tapeg and Syinons. a conscientious trainer. put pluck and judgment into a Mile which he ran to his own schedule. Both times must be considered very good. when one remembers the hill in the finishing straight. VVe noticed. too. that. after a lapse which followed Calton's brilliant effort of three years ago. the Hurdlers are once more coming into their own. Some likely efforts with Shot and Discus revealed that our Field eyents are taking a firm hold. The Band of the 5th 1Yest Coast Harbour Defence Battery l, by kind permission of Rfajor H. Gwilliam. C.D., R.G.A.' discoursed sweet music near the Tape. and. doubtless. did much to raise the flagging spirits of the finishers. Finally. a multitudinous throng efficiently demolished the tea-tables in the Gym.. and Mrs. Wfilliston to, whom our grateful thanks are duel gracefully rounded off the proceedings by presenting the Trophies.

Prospects for the season were considered to be good. six of last year's side being available. This hope was not borne out. Leon. the Captain. was never well, and on the few occasions when he did play showed mere flashes of his real form. This disaster seemed to affect the whole side adversely. Some of the more prominent members were badly out of condition. and it was obvious that School Football was in competition with other and less desirable interests. Of the fifteen matches played by the lst XV six were won. eight lost and one drawn. Colours were awarded to R. R. Dalziel. C. R. L. Higgs, T. Rose and Rfoffat. The full Team was as follows: J. A. Leon, S. Higgs, S. R. Queale. R. R. Dalziel, G, R. L. Higgs, T. Rose, Nloffat. YV. XY. Wlatson, D. C. Nlulder. M. L. Crofton, C. Dearing. R. xl. McLeod. C. L. Pollard. B. W. L. Stamer. S. M. Findlay. lN'.R.G.lN'. FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES SCHOOL V. OAK BAY WANIJERERS The School opened the season on November 6th. when they were at home to the Wanderers. who. reinforced by several senior players. provided very potent opposition and won by two goals. two tries and a penalty goal fl9 pts.m to a goal and a try T8 pts.v. The first half was well contested with the School holding their own territorially. The YVanderers. however. were better together behind the scrum and at half time had scored a goal. a penalty goal and a try. The School pressed dangerously at times but their only success came just before the whistle. when Moffiat kicked through the middle and Crofton was successful in a scramble on the Wanderers' line. Higgs I failed to convert and the lN'anderers led ll-3 at the changeover. N The School played vigorous football after the restart and. after a long period of steady pressure. they were successful when a quick throw in gave Watson an opportunity which he turned to good account. scoring far out. Higgs I improved this try with a splendid kick. The School continued to press and for a time they seemed likely to equalize. but they fell away in the last ten minutes and conceded a goal and a try. the lVanderers winning 19-8. 15 Behind the scrum Leon defended well and Higgs II was full of vigour and promise, but both he and Moffat held the ball too long. The forwards were weak in the line-out but held their own in the tight. The Team as a whole seemed to lack condition, and they were ill prepared in this regard for such a strenuous opening fixture. There was no lack of effort and no disgrace in losing to such powerful opposition. SCHOOL V. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL Playing under extremely bad weather and ground conditions the School were well and truly beaten at Shawnigan Lake by a goal and seven tries 126 pts.l to a goal and a try M8 pts.l Shawnigan pressed from the start and. finding the School re- sistance feeble. scored four tries in the first twenty minutes. Their forwards were far quicker on the ball and they controlled the line- outs. while fully holding the School pack in the tight. The School were very slow to wake up, but. when they did, play was very even and of a kick and run nature. There was no further score for some time. but towards the close of the half the School were successful when Queale fell on a loose ball far out. Higgs I kicked a very fine goal and Shawnigan led 12-5 at the breather. 4 For twenty minutes after the restart the School showed to advantage and play was confined to the Shawnigan half. The School backs were never together. however. and the only success came when the pack pushed over from a scrum five yards from the line. Higgs I failed to add the extra points. Although Shawnigan had played better football it was still any- body's game. but in the closing stages the School wilted and conceded a goal and three tries. The injury to Findlay was no excuse for the collapse: lack of condition and resolution in defence were the vital factors. SCHOOL V. VICTORIA COLLEGE The School gave a somewhat improved display against strong opposition and hardly deserved to be beaten by two goals and a try 13 ptsw to nil. The College scored a forward try early in the game but play was then very even with neither line in serious danger. After the restart the School continued to hold their own until the final ten minutes. when two tries were conceded. both of which were goaled. The first was the direct result of a bad misunderstanding between Moffat and Higgs H in mid-field. and the second was the penalty for very weak defensive play. The School backs were not happy but the pack did quite well, though giving away much weight. 16 SCHOOL V. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL The return match with Shawnigan Lake School was played at home and won by the visitors by two goals and four tries 22 pts. to two penalty goals 16 pts. i. As in the previous match with Shawnigan the School opened very slowly and. as a result, soon found themselves deep in arrears to opponents playing keen. intelligent football. Two tries were scored early and two goals were added before half time. To this the School. outplayed in the line-out and the loose. and outpaced behind the scrum. had offered little of a constructive nature. Higgs I missed a fairly easy penalty early on. and later was successful with another. but at the breather Shawnigan led 16-3. After half time the School played rather better and had a fair share of the game. There was no finish. however. and the Shawnigan line was never seriously in danger. Higgs I landed a really good penalty goal for the School. while Shawnigan replied with two un- converted tries to win, on their merits. 22-6. The School backs had an unhappy day and missed Leon. their Captain, both in attack and defence. The forwards did their best. but they were consistently beaten in the line-out. and not active enough in the loose to match the opposition. SCHOOL V. ST. GEORGITS SCHOOL This, the home game against St. Georges was a very spirited affair which the visitors were most lucky to win by the only try scored. Leon. the School Captain. though far from fit. returned to the side, and several changes. all successful. were made behind the scrum. For some time after the start play was very even and mainly of a forward nature. The St. George's outsides made a few good moves but they were closely marked and did not threaten seriously. The School, fully holding their own forward, were playing better than in any of their previous matches. and were nearly over several times during one fifteen minute stay in the St. George's twenty-five. They lacked finish. however. and St. George's weathered the storm. Shortly before half time St. George,s had their turn and were successful when their scrum half, who was outstanding throughout. gathered a loose ball near the line. the try being scored from his quick pass. After the change over it was nearly all School: one and all played with great spirit and play was to a great extent in the St. Georgefs half. Pollard was very prominent in the line-out at this stage. fre- quently gaining possession and kicking to touch with accuracy and distance. Dalziel was magnificent in the loose. where his robust play and deadly tackling were much in evidence. Towards the end the School exerted heavy and continuous pressure and a score seemed certain. Twice good work by Queale and Moffat gave Leon glorious chances to go for the line from fifteen yards away. but theiSchool 17 Captain had not got it in him. Had the outsides been able to finish there would have been tries aplenty. but as it was St. George's were able to hang on, and the School were forced to concede defeat when. on the run of the play. they should have been easy winners. It was a heart-breaking game to lose. especially for the forwards, who had striven so successfully. Dalziel was outstanding in a pack who more than held their own in every phase of forward play. Queale and NIoffat had a gooxd match, but the outsides as a group lacked finish. SCHOOL V. j.B.A.A. This. a very poor game. resulted in a win for the School by a goal and three tries tl-I pts.1 to nil. The School started strongly and soon opened their account when Mulder. following up a long kick ahead. and aided by some very slack play by the opposition. scored a try at the flag. which Higgs I failed to improve. A little later Stamer crossed the line after a short run. Queale and Nloffat had a hand in this tty. which Higgs I did not improve. The School continued to control play and before half time had increased their lead through Rose. who played hard through- out. This try was goaled by BIoffat and the School led ll-O at half time. After the restart the game deteriorated sadly and some very rough and questionable play took place. The School. though suffering many injuries. stayed with it quite well and, just before no side, went further ahead when Roberts took Stamerls pass to score an un- converted try in the corner. Rose and Dalziel were the pick of the forwards. while behind the scrum Bioffat and Higgs II were prominent. SCHOOL V. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL The School were successful at home against Oak Bay High School, winning by a goal and two tries Ill ptsm to a penalty goal 3 pts. i. Oak Bay proved to be heavy forward and individually fast behind the scrum. They were not together. however, and the School soon took command. The first try went to Skinner. when he was given some room to move and show his speed on the wing. Higgs I failed to goal. A little later Higgs II scored a good scrum half try. darting around the side of the scrum and throwing himself over. Higgs I added the extra points and the School led 8-O at the interval. After the restart the High School played up well. fully holding their own. with their big forwards showing to advantage in the set scrums and the line-outs. The School went further ahead, however. when Skinner scored his second try. which Higgs I failed to goal. From then on it was all Oak Bay. They were successful with a penalty and a little later only a fine running tackle by Moffat. almost on the I8 goal line, saved the School. Several times in the closing minutes the School were hard pressed and only poor finishing by the High School outsidcs prevented further scoring. SCHOOL V. ESQUIMAIQI' HIGH SCHOOL Esquimalt High School proved to be no match for the School. who won by four goals and six tries g1i8pts.l to nil. Tries were scored hy Xyatson K21, Stamer. Nloffat. Higgs II. Muldei'. Pollard. Rose. Dearing and Queale. The backs saw much ol the ball against weak opposition. SCHOOL V. OAK BAY WANDERERS The YVanderers turned out a very weak side and the School won easily by four goals. a penalty goal and six tries I-ll pts.i to a try C3 ptS.l. The School controlled the game throughout and by half time had scored sixteen points through two tries by Higgs II. one by Queale, a penalty goal by Nloffat and two splendid conversions by Higgs I. The YVanderers scored a try when a wild pass by a School three-quarter was gathered by an opposing player. who ran through the centre to score easily. After the restart Higgs II scored his third try and Queale his second, while Rose added two and Roberts. Moffat and NVatson one each. Higgs I kicked two splendid goals but missed some very easy ones. SCHOOL V. H.M.C.S. VENTKRE This game. played at H.M.C.S. Naden. was a spirited encounter and resulted in a scoreless draw. The ground was very heavy and the play, mainly of a forward nature, took place for the most part between the twenty-fives. The School. outweighed both in the scrum and behind it. gave a very creditable performance. defending better than in any previous game. Mulder was particularly prominent in this respect. tackling splendidly and falling on the ball courageously at critical times. Higgs II was also much to the fore defensively and had a good match. In attack Moffat did several clever things. but the School outsides were outmatched in pace and well held by some very keen and sure tackling. Forward the School stuck it out well. Dalziel was. as usual. tireless and extremely effective. while the others all showed up well against bigger and faster men. They were, however. with the exception of Crofton. too slow in the loose. IN'illiams I gave a promising display in his first real test. I9 SCHOOL V. VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL The School were outplayed at home and lost by a try and a penalty goal I6 pts.l to a try lg ptsfl. The High School opened the scoring early in the game with a penalty goal. and throughout the first half had by far the better of the game. They were well served by their halves and their forwards were far quicker on the ball in the loose and more active in the line- out than the School pack. The School outsides handled very badly and showed nothing of a constructive nature. After the restart the School played somewhat better but they seldom threatened seriously. Queale, at outside half, was hesitant and apathetic and had a most unhappy match. The rest of the backs were little better. The School were placed on even terms. however, when Higgs I scored a good try in the corner. after breaking away from a line-out and running with determination. He failed to convert his own try. This success did not spur the School on in any way and shortly before the end some very bad play by McLeod at full back led to a High School try from the loose. It was not converted and the School lost. as they deserved. 6-5. The side played their worst game of the season. Among the forwards Crofton and Dalziel showed up well in the loose. but behind the'scrum there was nothing but weakness. SCHOOL V. VICTORIA COLLEGE This. one of the season's better games. was won by the School by a penalty goal and a try l6pts. ti to a goal +5 pts. I. The School were lively from the start and throughout the first half had a decided territorial advantage. always looking the more likely to score. They lacked finish. however, and it was the College who opened the scoring. A wild pass in the School centre was kicked ahead by an opponent whose pace gave McLeod at full back no chance. The goal was kicked and the College led 5-O. against the run of the play. The School opened their account shortly before half time, when Dalziel gathered a difficult ball on the run and scored a really good try. which Higgs I failed to improve. L'pon resumption of play the School continued to have slightly the better of the game. but neither line was seriously in danger, and it was not until the closing minutes that the School had a real chance. This was from a penalty far out. and Higgs I made no mistake, with a splendid kick. to coin the match. A general improvement was obvious and the side had done much to make up for their dismal display against Victoria High School. 20 SCHOOL V. VICTORIA HIGH SCZHOOI. The return game with Victoria High School promised to be a very even struggle. but was disappointing in that the High School were short-handed and offered only feeble opposition in the first half. The School. strengthened by the return of Leon. their Captain, played well together and won by six goals and a try 433 ptsm to a goal and a try 18 ptsw. The School controlled the game throughout the first half and scored 23 points. Nloffat. Higgs II. Stamer. Leon and Queale all scored tries. four of which were goaled by Higgs I. After the restart the High School. now at full strength. played up well. and a better game resulted. Leon and Queale both scored tries. and Higgs I goaled them. The High School replied with a goal and a try. The feature of the game was the magnificent place kicking of Higgs I, who converted six of the seven tries scored. None of these was a sitter , and most were from a wide angle. SCHOOL V. ST. GEORGIEYS SCHOOL The School were badly outplayed in Vancouver and lost by 38 pts. to 8 pts. Forward the School was outhooked. and although holding their own in the tight and the line-out were outpaced in the loose. Behind the scrurn it was all St. George's, whose outsides were fast, clever and well together. In addition, they had almost constant possession and were well served at scrum half. The School, forced for the most part to defend. did so poorly. Admittedly they were not in the same class as their opposite numbers. but no boys' side should have scored 38 points against them. Once again it was their lack of condition and their poor defence. especially in the centre, which led to their downfall. Dalziel scored a very good forward try for the School, and Higgs I maintained his excellent form by converting it. and also kicking a penalty goal. SCHOOL V. THE OLD BOYS This, the last match of the season. saw the Old Boys easy winners by four goals. two penalty goals and four tries T33 pts.' to a try K3 pts.l. The Old Boys were very strong behind the scrum and at half time had scored seventeen points through tries by Rooper, Calton and Burnett. a penalty goal by Shipley and a conversion by Fox. At 21 no time were the School in the picture and Calton, Rooper, Burnett and Duke showed them speed and the art of combination. After the restart the Old Boys continued to dominate. Tries were scored by Rooper. McCallum and Calton, while Shipley added a penalty goal and Fox and Branson were successful with conversions. just before the end I forced himself over for a try for the School, but failed,to add the extra points. and the Qld Boys won 33-3. The School faced superior opposition behind the scrum, but should have had an advantage forward. and, in any case, should never have conceded 33 points to a side who were older and had never played together before. Resolution in defence was noticeably lacking. The Old Boys played attractive. open football and were splendidly served at scrum half by Fox, who gave Higgs H a lesson in this position. VV.R.G.W. FIRST FIFTEEN CHARACTERS LEON lCaptain and Centre Three-QuarterI-Appeared on four occasions only and his almost constant illness was a great disappointment to him , and a tragedy to the side. Showed enough of his past form, both in attack and defence, to make clear the vast difference his fitness would have produced. HIGGS I lYice-Captainl-A capable front row forward who shone in the tight and in the line-out. In the loose he did not use his weight to advan- tage. As a place-kicker he was far above the average, and the side owed much to his skill in this department. MOFFAT lCentre Three-Quarterl-An experienced player who kicked with judgment and handled beautifully. Though his tendency was to try to beat too many men, his clever use of the dummy always gave promise of results. His lack of physique and shakiness in defence were against him. STANIER-Rather variable, but made a promising start both as a centre and a scrum half. His defence is by no means sure, and in attack he lacks thrust as yet. MULDER fXYing Three-Quarterl+His handling was weak and his kicking deplorable. His tackling, however, was keen and sure, and he faced for- wards with the ball at their feet with a courage which few of his fellows could match. YYilling to a degree and always gave of his best, HIGGS H fSrum Halfw-A useful scrum half whose service was quick but not accurate. In defence he was courageous. in attack spirited, but he never reached the heights expected of one of his experience and ability. QUE.-XLE lOutside Half w eExperienced. but too slow for his position. He had good hands and his passing was timely. His kicking was weak. his defence sometimes lacked resolution and he was never sufficiently fit to do himself justice. NfcLEOD Il lFull BackzgYoung and inexperienced but showed considerable promise. Courageous, and tackled fairly well, but was too slow on his feet. WATSONfA useful hook. Played keen and vigorous football in the loose. where he was always close to the ball. lYeak in defence. T7 POLLARDe-An improved forward. Very slow in the loose. where he has not yet learnt to use his weight to advantage. Yery prominent in the line-out. where his height and excellent hands were well used, A good kick. ROSE-An excellent second row forward. Good in the tight, and though some- what slow in the loose played spirited and determined football. Effective in defence. An honest worker who invariably gave of his best and played the game in the proper spirit. DEARING-Played in the second row and did quite well in the tight. Too slow in the loose, and lacked experience and a sound knowledge of the game. CROFTON-A greatly improved forward especially in the loose, where he was always close to the ball and very robust and determined. Useful in the line-out but rather awkward in the tight. FINDLAY-Lacked experience and a sound knowledge of the game but de- veloped into a fairly useful forward. Defended quite well, but his handling and kicking were weak. DALZIEL-An excellent forward. Handled and kicked badly, but was a tire- less worker in the loose and a magnificent tackle. Played all out from start to finish and was an outstanding member of the side. W.R.G.W. 23 COLTS AND '135' RUGBY On October 27th the School 135 lbs.1 was at Home to 'Shawni- gan'. Our team was composed largely of last season,s players at this weight. but we still only averaged 121 lbs. per man and the blow of losing Savale within a quarter of an hour virtually lost us the game. The ground was very hard and the pace consequently fast. The loss of the best tackler on the field made it impossible for us to hold our opponents. Failure at half back to get the line going lost us many scoring chances. though we were infinitely better in the back field. At half time we were leading 5-3. through a quick follow up by NIcLeod I. who converted his own try. Little then took over at scrum half and we began to fight back territorially. Johaneson and Coleman worked hard but lacked the weight to carry them over. Skinner, on the wing. proved dangerous whenever he managed to get the ball. A very late try. against the run of the play. gave Shawnigan victory. At Shawnigan. on November 13th. the Colts f12O lbsm showed themselves an extremely promising side and gained a fully-deserved victory in very wet conditions. If conditions had been the guide this game would' have been purely a forward one. but Little, playing a real Captain's part at scrum half, saw to it that the ball got away quickly and cleanly to Pollard II. who settled immediately into what would appear to be his natural position. Our very sure handling of the greasy ball added to Shawnigan's discomfort. and. after a strong start. their line cracked and allowed Price over for Grosskleg to convert from a not too easy angle. Philipsen dislocated a thumb but was very nearly over before leaving the field for good. Then Coleman. though he had been wandering out of position. was in the right place to gather a rolling ball. score and convert. Some uncertain tackling allowed a Shawnigan score and half time arrived 13-3 in our favour. Cn the resumption Clough and Plant I scored quickly and there came a second Shawnigan try. Before the final whistle Little. Pol- lard II and Johaneson ia menace to the opposing halves through his quick breakingu produced some clever passing, and Little and Pollard were both successful. Prominent also were Sanders. who had been well up with the ball throughout the game. and Kissinger. who had hooked efficiently, The score at the end was 22-6. ln the return match iNovember Qelthw against Shawnigan the Colts got away to a shaky start. Realization of their weakness pro- duced some defensive efforts. but a kicking policy meant that many scoring chances went begging. Pollard Il was unaccountably slow at stand off half and was passing before drawing his man. Ross II eventually demonstrated the virtue of straight running. and it was he who opened our account by evading many would-be tacklers and making a well-judged dive for the line. There was insufficient binding when heeling the ball. and though Little got it away smartly the line was not driving through. as the centres were trying to beat their men on the inside Coleman being the chief culpritv. However, Sanders. 24 johaneson and Kissinger were working hard in the pack and we eventually emerged victorious by six points to nil. Cn December ltli the Colts lost to St. George's at Vancouver by I2 points to three. The game was comparatively uninteresting and was marred by spoiling tactics on both sides. lN'e unfortunately tried to meet strength with strength. but their scrum was better than ours. lasted the pace and deserved to earn victory. Inexperience caused Ross II to part with the ball on two occasions when further penetration would likely have brought scores. Pollard H was very slow and was not proving a good kick at stand off half. lncidcntally. he preferred to pass before drawing his man. Little. with the forwards. worked hard all the time and Sanders was prominent. Coleman did much intelligent defensive covering. while Johaneson broke quickly and was a good spoiler. Three tries and a penalty were the St. Gcorge's share. while Little forced his way over for our solitary try. Coleman failing narrowly to convert from a difficult angle. An under 16 match v. Esquimalt High. on january 19th. turned out to be a very scrappy meeting. with plenty of heavy tackling-not always low. Neither side looked a scoring team. but our players. with their wider experience. managed to carry us to victory. For us this was the first game played under the new rules and. since our opponents too lacked knowledge. chiefly of the advantage rule. much hesitant play ensued. Had we opened up the score might have been doubled. As it was-Fisher was fearless. and brought off some fair saving tackles: Cotton was quite a success at stand off half. and Swangard was well up with the play all the time. In a return game. on january 26th. Esquimalt showed great improvement. They ran with determination and. on the play. deserved to win. Our tackling was high and our passing very inaccurate. Little and Johaneson were comparatively good in defence. but Cotton only ran at half speed and Fisher dropped many passes. Rooney I tried very hard on the wing and tackled soundly. but the high packing of the forwards produced sluggish heeling and we were deservedly beaten 5-0. On january 29th the Colts had an easy 429-Ui win over Shawni- gan. and then came their last game. against St. George's at home. The match had been postponed two weeks and by that time the School team had been badly riddled by the prevailing 'flu. Five of the backs and two of the forwards were unable to turn out. and it is greatly to the credit of the '105 lb., replacements that we were able to do so well and by no means to disgrace ourselves. In any case it served a useful purpose that the newcomers should be blooded', under very adverse conditions which included hail and sleet. liVe had come to expect whole-hearted efforts from Little both personally and as Captain. and it was his drive and spirit that nearly 25 won the day. Schaefer, too, played with greater ability than he had hitherto shown. and Chambers I tackled courageously. Realizing that our strength lay in the forwards, Little continually turned back the ball to them, and very intelligently did they play. 7 Fairbourn and W hidden were very noticeable in the loose, and they were ably led by Sanders. who was in fine form. Sanders made our only try, picking up a rolling ball with amazing' ease, St. George's were bound to score if their backs were served, as they were bigger boys and difficult to hold on the slippery surface. Two runaway breaks came their way and they made certain of their chances, the School eventually losing' 6-3. PS. JUNIOR RUGBY On the whole this Uroyed to be a most successful season. Our only defeat, in the second of three matches against 'Shawniganf was avenged by a subsequent 6-O victory. and the team finished in a blaze of glory with a 27-O win against St. George's on the home ground. This was the only occasion on which the Side showed its true worth: perhaps the many easy victories early in the season produced a com- placent attitude that was only to be discarded in defeat. The organized league of local teams gradually disintegrated. At the time of its inglorious demise we were leading comfortably on points. The main criticism to be made of the Team is that it was composed of many excellent individuals who rarely succeeded in suppressing their natural ambitions in the interests of constructive Rugger. Determination throughout the game and constructive play as a team were the two virtues most conspicuously lacking. If these can be acquired next season the School will have the foundation of an extremely powerful side for years to come. C.B. 26 CRICKET With experienced leadership in S. Moffat 1Capt. i and S. S. R. Queale 1Vice-Captm a good season was anticipated. The side started well with yery creditable draws against Cowichan and the L'niyersity School lncogs. They followed with a win against Shawnigan Lake School. and were also successful against Mr. R. lVenman's XI and a very weak side from H.lNI.C.S. Venture. Defeat was conceded to Shawnigan Lake School in the return game. and also to St. George's School. when the game was thrown away in the field. The bowling was adequate. Four boys. Shanks. Greenhouse. Molifat and Stamer. took oyer ten wickets each. Greenhouse, with thirteen wickets for sixty-three runs. had the best ayerage. while Shanks. with sixteen for 145. took the most wickets and was fully as promising. The batting was far too dependent on Btloffat. who scored 199 runs in seyen innings. for an ayerage of twenty-eight. Queale averaged fourteen. but both he and Gerry. the other recog- nized batsman, failed in all three matches against other Schools and both were disappointing. The fielding was not up to standard. Queale kept wicket adequately, lNIoffat was brilliant in any position and Little was also excellent, but none of the others was consistently good. and certain of them were consistently bad. There was a merciful reyiyal of the Clayton Cup Competition this year, and Moffat's XI were successful in winning the Cup in competition with teams captained by Queale. Higgs I and Gerry. The House Matcli was won by Founders. but Brentwood House. the underdogs, put up a very good fight. The bat presented by the L'niyersity School Incogs. to the best all-round Cricketer in the School was won by Nloffat. lV.R.G.XY. FIRST ELEVEN MATCHES SCHOQL V. COWICHAN. CC. Without Queale the School total of 95 was respectable. KIoffat hit three sixes in his 42. He tried six bowlers and the School out cricket was promising. Cowichan had lost 8 wickets for 74 runs at the close and the game was drawn. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL COWICI-IAN C.C. Gerry. run out .................................. 12 Howarth. ct. Moffat b.

When attacking the bowling he hit with great power, scoring all round the wicket, but particularly on the leg side. lN'ith the ball he was successful at times, but his action was poor and he seldom maintained a length. In the field he was magnificent, his anticipation and agility enabling him to make catches which others would not recognize as such look easy. As a Captain he was experienced, and led the side with enthusiasm. QUE.-XLE fYice-Captainl-A patient opening batsman with a fair defence. Strong on the leg side and drives quite well when set, but hangs his bat out on the off and is very prone to be l.b.w. A good judge of a run. Keeps wicket very well. HIGGS I-As a batsman he hit straight and to leg with power, but his defence, though improved. was not adequate. A poor runner between the wickets. Lacking in concentration in the field. STAMER-Successful with the ball on occasion, and would be more so with increased zest and hostility. As a batsman he lacked confidence and his forward play was weak. but here. again. he showed promise. A keenness and a will to excel must be substituted for his present lethargy. GERRYfInclined to over-reach when playing forward and too often fails to get to the pitch of the ball. He is also very prone to be l.b.w. He is, however, a very promising batsman with a good defence and the left- hander's liking for the drive. Extremely keen, and when his attitude and his action develop some crispness and decision he will make runs. Very poor between the wickets as yet. l'Vith the ball he has more ability than he himself realizes and wickets are in store for him. Unaccountably bad in the field, both in the air and on the ground: much practice is required. GREENHOUSE-At present he is very edgy as a batsman and his defensive forward play is weak. Must learn to attack the bowling with his full reach and weight. Much improved with the ball. and with more confidence and experience will do very well. Slow, but reasonably safe in the field. HIGGS ll-A left-arm bowler of sufficient pace who came on considerably late in the season. Useful in the field. SHANKS-Improved greatly with bat and ball. As a batsman he is free and shows promise of runs when playing forward. Distinctly promising with the ball, turning a little both ways and maintaining a reasonable length. In the field he is fairly safe in the air but extremely slow on the ground, and lacking in anticipation and concentration. Very keen on the game and has the right temperament. CQLEM.eXNfShowed promise with the bat and gained useful experience. In the field he proved to be a safe catch but uncertain on the ground. PQLLARD leNew to the game and made a promising start. Failed with the bat in matches, but will yet succeed as a hitter. Tried his hand with the ball and performed creditably. Very useful in the field, where his hands were safe and his throwing fast and accurate. LITTLE-lN'ith the bat he came on considerably. especially in defence. Cnc of the best fields-rs on the side, both on the ground and in the air. A promising wicket keeper with courage and a desire to learn. W.R.G.VY. 30 JUNIOR CRICKET The junior Season was a short one. but full of interest and enthusiasm. On Nlay 28th the 2nd XI faced St. George's 2nd Xl at L'niversity School. but. batting first. could raise no more than 18 runs. 8 bein! scored by Fulton and 5 each byDal2iel and Mcfflaskey. Our last six wickets formed themselves into a funereal procession. during which no runs for, for that matter. extrasi were registered. St. George's found no difficulty in passing our score. Harker. their Captain. producing a noble 37. Cabeldu 3 wkts. r. Blcfllaskcy 13 wkts.i and Johaneson i2 wktsm were our better bowlers. BIC- Claskey. indeed. perfonned very crcditably and deseryed greater After two of our own wickets had fallen earlv. XYenman. striking success. It must be admitted that our fielding was poor. Our 'Colts' Sides won one match and lost two. On Niay 27th St.'RIichael's was invited to the School and. opening the ball. gathered 89 runs. Eight of their wickets had fallen for 3-l. but a stand of fiftv followed. Cornall contributing 32. Henman took five was was wickets and kept a very reasonable length,'fAn assorted attack provided at the other end. It must be admitted that our fielding good. the loose ball really hard. put together a valuable' 32. Eyes Iifollowed with 20 fincluding two sixes'1 and our opponents' score was easily reached. In June a home match against Glenlyon saw the visitors scoring with ease off Wlenman and Grosskleg. and with less ease off Beban II and Eyes I. Our fielding improved as the game progressed. but a late rally added some 25 runs of a total of 95. In our innings wenman, again. was the only boy who looked equipped to deal with some accurate bowling and. drawing a decent veil over statistics. we conceded our defeat. At NVindsor Park. on June 15th, the School had its return match with Glenlyon, who amassed 69. largely through the efforts of Archbold. who. in scoring an enthusiastic 21. hit the ball hard and showed himself an excellent judge of a run. Our bowling was mediocre. Our own batting was deplorable on this occasion and poor running threw away at least two wickets. Grosskleg contributed a huge six. but Glenlyon eventually proved easy winners. Two ancient troubles reared their heads'-a inyopic tendency to imagine that every ball is necessarily coming well on the leg land must be treated as such 1: and the theory that every boy is born a natural fast bowler. But though our general prowess may not merit a blare of trumpets. much promise for future days was shown by certain individuals. and a good time was had by all. P 9 31 CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING The School's Annual Cross Country Run took place late in the Easter Term. one hundred and seventeen boys taking part. First Home. and YVinner of the Old Boys' Cup. was Hill. who thus received just reward for his kcenness in distance running throughout his stay at University School. Aish ran a good race to place second, and Dalziel was third. Founders House. with the first five home, defeated Brentwood 400 points to 423 points. Hudson I. of Founders. who placed eighth. was the first junior to finish and the Wlinner of the Robertson Cup. The junior Cross Country ifor boys below Grade VHw was won by Crosskleg, with Hubbard I second and Dial II third. There were twenty-seven entries and Brentwood House was successful by 43 points to 97 points. During the Christmas Term the Inter-Services College. Royal Roads. Invitation Cross Country was held. Competition was very keen and we could do no better than eighth. Ten teams were entered and of the fifty-seven runners who participated the School placed as follows: Symons A... ,s...,. 2 5th Klulder ..,, ,,..., 4 9th Rossl ..... ...,, 5 3rd . 0 - 3 ,- Hill ..................,..,. mth Weeks ..........,....... 30th I On February 22nd the Annual Cross Country Run with Victoria High School took place over the School course. Victoria College also took part. The race was won by Victoria High School with 31 points. Victoria College scored T36 points and the School 69 points. Both Symons rseventhl and Hill tnintht placed in the first ten and both were under twenty-five minutes. The Wlinnerls time was 22 m. 34 s. 4 W.R.G.W. BOXING XYe are greatly indebted to 'Navy' for their good offices in the Easter Term Boxing. Their representatives provided excellent coach- ing and firm and wise refereeing in the Ring on Wednesdayf, Nlarch 30th. Training had been compulsory. of course. but it was decided, this year. that entry for the final competition should be on a voluntary basis. Contrary to our expectations, there was no falling off either in enthusiasm or skill. Founders were fairly easy winners where Inter-House points were concerned.

TENNIS Under the zestful leadership of Mr. Bunch Tennis progressed much in the School last year. Although the senior entry was not as large as it has been in the past. the same high standards of play and sportsmanship were present throughout. The most encouraging aspect of the Tournament was the enthusiasm amongst the junior players. The future of Tennis in the School will be very bright. if this is any indication. In the Senior Singles Bfoffat and Crofton once again met in the Finalsz this time Moffat was victorious 6-4, 7-5. The Senior Doubles Finals were undoubtedly one of the hardest and best-played matches of the Tournament. Crofton and Moffat combined to defeat Pollard I and Fairborn 6-1. 6-3. 7-5. Q In the junior section of the Tournament there were many close and well-played matches. especially in the Finals, when Ross II defeated Beban I 6-3. 6-4. Ross II received the Queale Cup. as junior Champion. and the Bolton Cup for the Senior Championship went to Moffat. Moffat was also awarded his Tennis Colours. Mark Crofton. BASKETBALL Once again Basketball was enjoyed by all participants. and the nets were continuously bombarded in spare-time hours. We were hampered. however, by lack of a Coach and adequate facilities and. most serious of all. the fact that the Game was not recognized as a major School activity. It is a pity that Basketball lprobably the best indoor sport avail- ablel could not be put to use officially, at least, as a 'conditioner' for Rugby Football. In any case. it would give some of the boys who are physically not capable of becoming Rugby and Cricket Stars an opportunity of representing the School. Thus, we look forward to the day when the School Teams are once more in action. james Bloffat. 33 SWIMMING Any suspicions that Swimming had been tucked temporarily into the background were dispelled by some enthusiastic and generally excellent performances in the 'Tankl at the Annual Inter-House Sports, which were held rather late in the Summer Term. Watson rBrentwoodt retained his Championship with ease, but Founders reversed last yearls result and were good winners on the afternoonls display. Our grateful thanks go to Nlrs. Butt. who gave freely of her time and interest where the diving was concerned. llrs. Butt Qlate of Norfolk House School is. of course. an expert in her subject, and she gave us an object-lesson in judging and some very timely advice to the divers afterwards. We trust that her charming personality will grace our future occasions. This year the Staff had decided that they really must win the Staff v. junior School Relay: the Junior School had decided otherwise. RESULTS THREE LENGTHS FREE STYLE OPEN 1 ' B 'r .

Wle will reveal. however. that the Corps has niain- tained its high standards. and that its nunibers and aehieveinents have advanced steadily.

We would like to feel ourselves justified in endorsing the sentiment of one dear. but feminine and aged. spectator who was heard to remark As good as the Guards. The School Parade Ground is no place for weaklings. nor is the post of Cadet-Officer regarded bv him as a sinecure. Wle have often wondered at the ability of the Cadet Staff and the Other Ranks to dish it out and take it. respectively. Moreover, we have some- times doubted the- efficacy of the painful process known commonly as square-bashingf' But perhaps it is a good thing in a shifting and shiftless world that at least some of our Youth must learn to develop the habit of standing. from time to time and for a short space. with poise. stillness and dignity The Cadet Staff was a Capt.

THE SUNSET CEREMONY The Victoria Chamber of Commerce once again called upon the Cadet Corps to participate in The Sunset Ceremony. Accordingly, an Honour Guard of 50 O.R.. under the command of CfCapt. S. S. R. Queale. together with the band, paraded down town on the evenings of June 3rd and 17th. and staged a displav of precision drill that any unit of H.M.,s Forces might well be proud to produce. The execution of the many and varied movements entailed brought manv praiseworthv remarks from the onlookers. who, in some cases. refused to believe that the performance was that of boys still attending school. In everv wav the Corps came up to the high standard of efficiencv that is part of its tradition. For all this we have to thank Lt. C. F. Genge, whose gift of invective and insatiable love of the Parade Ground begat so much- I was going to sav 'from so little.' but that would be a gross misnomer '-from a group of verv voung but extremely proud and courageous volunteers. Gur verv grateful thanks. too. to hlrs. Genge, who. in the pro- verbial kindness of her heart. revivified wilting spirits and aching stomachs with cocoa and sandwiches after each performance.

It would appear from the foregoing results that the Corps can still produce excellent scores when they are most needed. It is. however. something of a mystery to think that any notable scores were made this year. In November an issue of .22 ammunition tdated 19419 proved to be not only defective but also dangerous. while the following month six of the ten target rifles had to be sent to RCEME for repairs. These misfortunes seriously curtailed the amount of shooting that should have been carried out. However. in February conditions were back to normal and. judging from results. it would seem that the temporary set-backs had been more of an asset than otherwise. Recreational Shooting produced 21 First Class Shots. five Nfarks- men, one Expert and one Distinguished Marksman IFJ. T. Rosel. This particular branch of shooting had lost none of its initial import. Apart from the fact that Badges are awarded for each category. proficiency in this field is of inestimable value should a Cadet wish to join the Services. A review of the weekly Shooting Buttons awards would indicate that the Corps has a substantial number of promising shots for the coming year. Although Rose won the Senior Button on eight occasions. the awards for the Intermediate and Junior Buttons were spread over a far wider selection of Cadets. For the first time on record the Corps failed to be placed in the results of the D.C.R.A. Competition fired this year. Nlost regrettably the targets covering the first shoot were lost somewhere between Edmonton and Ottawa. However. in view of the consistently good records set up by the Corps in past years. the Secretary of the D.C.R.A. in Ottawa very courteously accepted our word for the scores he never received and in addition forwarded the eleven First-class Badges that had been merited. Four hundred and fifty-four Cadet Corps across Canada par- ticipated in this Competition. Had the targets not been mislaid the Corps would have been placed 25th-one place better than last year.

RADIO AND SIGNALLING The year has been marked by frustration-chiefly of a material nature. Until a few days before the Annual Inspection the radio equipment was a pseudo-dynamic force, most imposing but capable of precisely nothing. The two 19 Sets seemed to take a fiendish delight in balking all efforts to transmit. They would be collected for repairs, be returned after an interminable period and still be in- operable. Such has been the pattern. Perhaps it is only fair to state that the aforesaid Sets have been in use for seven years and have born the brunt of much earnest Qand sometimes experimentall work. Consequently it is hardly reasonable to expect 10002 efficiency from machines that are past their zenith. On the other hand, a speed-up in the matter of repairs and of obtaining the bare necessities with which to operate would bolster the waning morale of those members of the Group who have always worked so enthusiastically. Sgt. G. D. Wfolfe. of the 5th Area Sigs.. who, strictly speaking, has no connection with the Corps other than that of a genuine interest, has come to our assistance whenever possible. Witliout his aid there would have been no display at the Annual Inspection and, in the writerls opinion. no success in the Morse Glasses. As a token of the appreciation felt by all members of the Gorps he was presented with a silver cigarette box. suitably engraved. MOl'S6 signallying classes were held whenever possible. Again, the chief trouble was lack of sound equipment. Symons, Plant I and Hill, as Instructors, are to be highly commended for their perseverance in the face of many difficulties. The end of the year tests were conducted by Sgt. Aucoine, on june 3rd, through the courtesy of the O.G. 119th Batty. R.G.A. VVe take this opportunity of thanking him for his invaluable services. 40 ' The following Cadets were successful. and are to he congratulated on having stuck to their guns when everything went dead wrong: lst Year 2nd Year 3rd Year H6 w.p.m. tr i 10 w.p.m.r I I8 w.p.m.r P.

FIRST AID The First Aid Group. under the able supervision and instruction of C!Lt. G. L. Higgs. again managed to come through the final examination with 1005 success. Doubtless there are some who are under the false impression that all who undertake to study for this course are sure to pass. This is far from the truth. Very few realize that both instructor and instructed spend many of their spare hours delving into the intricacies of the human frame. that classes for Iloarders and Day Boys have to be arranged separately. that class rooms are not always available when required and that times for instruction very frequently clash with activities of a more weighty and therefore more important nature. The instructor's task requires much forbearance and perseverance: the class task calls for co-operation of the highest order. Remember. too. that there is no outside glamour to act as an incentive-no financial reward and no thanks. The success attending the classes may be wholly ascribed to the able manner in which G. I.. Higgs arranged his several groups. No doubt his somewhat taciturn attitude and his ability to turn on the pressurel' aided considerably in producing such excellent results. The Display at the Annual Inspection proved the effectiveness of his teaching methods. This year the final tests in bandaging. etc., were held in Victoria on Niarch 30th. On June 15th the Headmaster received a communica- tion from the St. Johnls Ambulance Association congratulating the School on having such a splendid classf, Successful candidates are listed below: Bennett McRae Boas II Pitre Chilton Rooney II Clough Ross II Eves I Sawrey Findlay Senior Smith Godwin XN'eston Hudson lYhidden Lund I C.L.CZ SCOUTING The 195-I-55 training year has been one of progress and achieve- ment. There was a lack of volunteer scouters amongst the junior masters and it was found necessary to reduce the strength of the Troop to the authorized establishment of four patrols C32 scoutsl. There have been fewer overnight journeys than in previous years. The usual Summe'r activities had to be cancelled, the P.L.,s not being available. The standard reached in june was-four Queenis Scouts, 2-I Second Class Scouts, four Tenderfoot Scouts, one Silver and three Bronze Arrowheads. three A Cords. one C Cord. 45 Queen's Scout Badges and 86 Proficiency Badges. There were 24 boys on the waiting list. 5 The new Scout Hall. painted and renovated by the boys, was in constant use from 8.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. The table tennis set and equipment donated by some of the boys' parents was very popular. The Troop Championship in this game was won by P. L. Tony Little. who received an excellent scout knife from his comrades. Lively interest was taken in the inter-Patrol soft ball league. This game was played for the first time on the school grounds. much to the envy of the other baseball enthusiasts. i The Patrol Cup was won by the Cougar Patrol fP.L. D. Butler. Q.S.6. All ranks wish to express their sincere appreciation to the Head- master ran ex-Scouterl for his keen interest in the Troop. R.G.. Lt.-Col. THE PROJ ECTION ROOM During the School Year the projection equipment. under the direction of the Rev. Lowe. was used to bring a new picture to the School every week-end. Two showings of each film, on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. were given. In addition to films booked from Arthur Rank. YN'arner Bros. and other distributors. educational and scriptural films were used in class room work. Some private films were also shown. outstanding among which was a film of the Cadet Inspection graciously loaned to the School by lNIr. and Mrs. N. Teren. Projection Room operation was carried out by the boys under the Rev. Lowe's direction. In addition to projectionists trained in previous years. three new projectionists underwent training this year. John Deachman. 42 FOUNDERS HOUSE The return of our popular Housemaster, N111 lYenman. hale and hearty again after a lengthy illness. enabled Founders House to get off to a very bright start in the year's activities. Many new faces were noticed on opening day. including' that of Rlr. Berrisford. the new House Tutor. This kind and considerate gentleman will long be remembered for his invaluable assistance in school work. his excursions to Brentwood Chapel and Beaver Lake and the frequent informal parties in his room. It was a familiar sight to see our House Tutor setting out for Beaver Lake in his car with a shell and assorted members of the House. On the Sports Field Founders House was very successful. although. at the same time. incurring several astounding setbacks. Led by the brilliant play of Que-ale. we won the Cricket Nlatch by a lop-sided score. and. through a great run by Hill. won by a narrow margin in the annual cross country run. Boxing. Swimming and Shooting were other notable successes during the vear. It is with deep regret that we must bid good-bye to so many of this year's stalwarts. including Queale and the two Higgs boys. lt will not be easy to match their great performances, but nevertheless we are looking forward with keen anticipation to bigger and better things in the coming' year. llark Crofton. BRENTWOOD HOUSE This year the House had a surprising number of new boys. who. however. soon came into the swing of things and took an active part in House affairs. Athletically we fared much better than had been expected. win- ning the Inter-House Rugby with only four players from the School XV and losing the Cricket only after a spirited stand. Sports Day was nearly all Brentwood. as we more than doubled Founders in total points scored. lVe were not successful in the Swimming. but our congratulations should go to Watson, who won the Senior Champion- ship for the third straight year. Our most successful event, l feel, was the wonderful Christmas Party arranged by N111 Bunch and the House Matron. Mrs. lN'ood. assisted by Mr, and Nlrs. Genge. This was. indeed. a happy occasion and one which was most decidedly enjoyed by everyone in attendance. Finally we must emphasize that the burden of our successes has been largely carried on the shoulders of the House Staff. Hle are very sorry to be losing our House Tutor. XII: Bunch. an unorthodox but uncommonly adequate Official. who has done much to enliven and inspire us during the past School Year. We wish him and his lX'ife Godspeed and every success. James Kloffat. 43 Believe It or Not DRAMA The dramatic efforts in the School during' 1954-55 were wide and varied. During' this period two productions were actually performed. and the foundations of a third were laid. Probably the yearls biggest production in more ways than onei was the Qarden scene in 'Alice in iYonderland.' This play. using no less than thirty-three members of the lower school, was performed at Christmas and, later on. at the Schools, Drama Festival. where the production received high praise from the adjudicator. N111 Peter Alanna-ring. Georges ll must be congratulated for his performance as Alice. The School entered another play in the Drama Festival-A. A. BIilne's 'The Man in the Bowler Hat'-whose cast consisted of members of the upper school. At the end of the Easter Term preparations for a complete performance of Shakespt-are's 'Twelfth Night, were started under the able supervision of Blessrs. Bunch and Berrisford. However, the performances will be held in December under Rlr. Berrisford alone. as Rlr. Bunch has unfortunately left us. Finally we should like to thank X111 Bunch for his great efforts in this field. He will be missed by all concerned with Drama this year. We should also like to wish KI11 Berrisford every success with 'Twelfth NiQ'ht.' Michael Gerry. Fred Allen. -ll THE LIBRARY A renovation of the Senior Library occurred during the Easter Term. Extra shelves were fitted to accommodate additions and the room was brightened with a quantity of paint liberally applied to all visible surfaces. We were pleased to accept a complete new edition of the Encyclopaedia of Canada. donated by an Old Boy, a complete set of Kipling's works and a number of other books generously given by Friends of the School. A very large supply of periodicals was received throughout the year, including numbers of the Audubon Magazirie, London Illus- trated, Punch. Yachting. Atlantic Monthly. Canadian Geographic and National Geographic, Commonwealth S Empire. journal of the Royal Society of Arts, The Listener. The Nlusical Times, Etude. Life. Time, etc., together with such newspapers as the Times, The Observer. The Manchester Guardian and The Christian Science Monitor fan international daily newspaper '. The library was in very frequent use throughout the year and. while we appreciate the progress already made in promoting better literary standards. further additions and improvements would seem to be indicated for the immediate future. P.J.H. MUSIC The development of music within the School continues. A junior Choir, formed in the latter part of the Autumn Term. made its debut at the Christmas Festivities. Entering the Greater Victoria Music Festival the School competed in two classes and was awarded certifi- cates in both. the adjudicator remarking on the splendid quality of voice. Music performed by the School Choir at Brentwood Memorial Chapel. on Sunday. june 19th. included two Bach Chorales, 'G Saviour Sweet, and Jesu, Joy of NIan's Desiring, r sung also on Speech Dayl, lNIendelssohn's 'Hear Xly Prayerf 'Brother James' Air, ra metrical setting of the 23rd Psalmr and the 'Alleluia' from Mozart's Exsultate -lubilate. Chorister Badges were awarded to Collings. Eves ll. Georges ll. Hubbard II. Hudson II. Jones l. LeFevre. Lund ll. Nleakes. Nixon. Peers. Postans. Russ and Smither. On the instrumental side, Klandy established a notable record in passing the Royal Conservatory of Music Grade IX Examination in Pianoforte with Honours. thus completing his matriculation re- quirements in Music. Peter Lund was awarded the Mandy-Goff Trophy for outstanding work, -l5 The School availed itself fully of the generous invitation from the Victoria Symphony Society to attend. as guests, its Sunday after- noon Concerts. Some fifty boys were present at each of these. Two recitals in the Famous Artists series given by George London and Roberta Peters of the New York Nletropolitan Opera were also well supported by the School. A high-fidelity record-player. secured for the School by N111 Pmerrisford. has contributed much to extra-curricular music appreciation. 1 Recent additions to the School Record Library include St. Paul's Cathedral School album. Organ Music recorded by E. Power Biggs and Symphonies by liozart. Dvorak. Prokofiev and Brahms. Db P.j.H. ART There has been an increased interest in Art. and the results from a system of projects have been very gratifying. Outdoor sketching has been popular. especially on the mountain and students have been encouraged to sketch during the holidays. From drawings produced by the students during the Autumn and Easter Terms. under the able instruction of M1's. Hinton. six were selected for the Fourth Annual Inter-School Exhibition. Of this number three were awarded Excellent.,, two Very Good and one Good This. I believe, is a tremendous showing. as entries were received from nine Colleges. and the total individual entries numbered two hundred and three. I am sure all will agree that a well done is in order for Mrs. Hinton and the students, and it is to be hoped that in the coming year we can maintain this good record. A.G.G. THE STAMP CLUB Stamp-collecting proved popular among junior and senior boys this year. The Junior Section 'Secretary-lvlacdonaldv and Senior Section 'Secretary-Peers' met frequently during the Autumn and Spring Terms. Some interesting stamps were obtained 'on approval' and subsequently purchased for individual collections. Trading, how- ever. was the chief means of obtaining stamps and this was encouraged through the provision of a common pool generously supplied by friends of the Stamp Club. Members of the Senior Section spent a pleasant evening examining a collection of Commonwealth stamps belonging to lNIiss Roberts. former President of the Empire Stamp Club in Victoria. Refreshments served on this occasion made the visit espe- cially memorable! Attendance at several meetings of the Victoria Stamp Club proved interesting and profitable. 46 DISCOVERY ISLAND Two expeditions were made during the Summer Term to Dis- covery Island at the invitation of Captain Beaumont. The first party of seven junior boarders left for the Island on May 20th to spend three care-free days romping on the Captainls estate and boating in nearby waters. Clam-digging and a beach picnic made the trip memorable. The second expedition was carried out during the week- end of june 10th. by a party of eleven boys. On this trip we made the acquaintance of two venerable inhabitants of Goat Island, hunted for birds, eggs I without conspicuous success I. explored neighbouring islands and again prepared a delectable dish of clams! Good weather and the very generous hospitality of Captain Beaumont ensured a happy time for all. P.j.H. AQUATIC DELIGHTS The dusty, deserted precincts of the School were disturbed. early one Saturday afternoon in May, by the regular purr of a powerful motor. The stragglers on their way to the town and current round of shows', observed a blue car sliding gracefully across the tarmac. adorned with a long, slender, torpedo-like structure on the roof, There were rumours of experiments in jet propulsion until it became known that it was poposed to row across Beaver Lake in one of the dilapi- dated sculling boats that had resided in the damp beneath the Classroom Building for as long as scholastic memory could recall. Charitably minded Cynics were heard to remark that it was just as well that the boat could only hold one oarsman at a time. However. the experiment was a success. and every week-end the same crowded and caparisoned conveyance was to be seen pursuing its rapid, if erratic, course along the Pat Bay Highway towards another pleasurable afternoon on or. for a few hesitant oarsmen. in the water. Boating from University School will never become an official activity: we have not the facilities or the money. But. despite apathy amounting almost to opposition in some quarters. we believe that there will always be as happy and adventurous a crowd as there has been this year willing to spend their week-end afternoons away from the dust of the city. We may never produce the winner of the Diamond Sculls-such a celebrity might well hesitate to enter our frail craft- but it is enough to have introduced a few enterprising individuals to the exacting and enjoyable cult of the oar. CIE. AFTERTHOLIGHT Though contemporary Youth could hardly believe it Time was Isome centuries agoi when l too was exposed to instruction and forced to receive it: 47 Yes, I too sat carving my initials on my desk with the rest of them tAnd propelling an accurate pellet with the best of them 1. And I too had to distend a reluctant maw For information which I bolted raw. And. except when I was just dumb and placid. Suffered a mental indigestion which was distinctly acid. And, though age makes the memory dim, I well remember regarding some MASTER and thinking. if only me were himf' Occupying tapart from a comfortable seatl an elevated station. And the Lord of Creation. And already simply saturated with Knowledge Acquired from some College. And behaving. at times, overbearingly breezily. Because Knowledge lwhen you had it N could obviously be imparted so easily. Well. the years have passed. And here I am at last. Endowed with a magisterial frown. And entitled to tote a gown. And I know quite a lot of Greek and Latin. And I occupy with dignity a Throne which an endless line ' of previous pedagogues has sat in: And what you would think, Dear Reader. is this, That I must now finally be poised on a positive pinnacle of private bliss: But. Dear Reader. it will not take me long To show you that this is where you would be wrong: Because the World turned round, And I soon found That. where Knowledge is concerned, it isn't the starting of it Wlhich takes the toll. it's the imparting of it. XiVhy. occasionally. when I wax particularly splenic. I am convinced that being tied down to tame a mob of untamable bodies at the same time as one is endeavouring to develop a mass of undevelopable souls is a task strictly for a schizophrenic: lNIoreover. if you imagine that a Dominie's hours are such that they constitute practically one long continuous vacation. Kindly remember all the interim preparation. So. nowadays. when I regard some Schoolboy clock-watcher. woebegone but so shortly to be happily untrammelled and free. Contemporary Youth could hardly believe how wistfully sometimes I think. if only I were he. 48 C.F.G SL-cond Generation OLD BOYS' NOTES BRYN--1ONE5 .I, 17.

HBNTLEY-David again has figured in the scholarship awards at L'.B.C.. this year on two occasionsmthe first for S100, the second for 3400. The question is-can brother Christopher beat this target ? LOUREIRO-Victor maintains his close and practical interest in the school. This time the Library has been greatly enriched by the addition of The Encyclopaedia of Canadav published by the Grolier Society of Canada. The School is most grateful. NIORANT-G. D. Niorant has been named to the Dean's Honour Roll at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. To achieve this distinction a student must maintain a cumulative 2.20 grade point average. This is based on three points for an 'A'. two points for a 'B' and one point for a'C'. MARMAGES BROXYN-Nlidshipman D. Brown to Della June Quainton, at Romford. Essex. England. on May 2nd, 1955.

Brown. who. following his Matriculation in 1950. took a post with de Havilland Aircraft Co, in England. james and two friends had reconstructed an aircraft under the supervision of an aeronautical engineer, and it was in this craft that they crashed near Saffron YValden in Essex. His passing at the age of twenty-one is a tragic loss of a man of exceptional promise and ability. Our sympathy goes out to his parents and his brothers. PRIVETT-The sympathies of School and House go out to the Privett family. who lost their only son in a tragic motor-cycle accident on August 15th. 1955. Readers will know that his Father is Registrar at 'Royal Roads, and was a Headmaster of Brent- wood College and a Governor of University School. Christopher David John Privett came to us with the Brentwood contingent in 1948 and matriculated in 1951. At the time of his death he was on vacation from L'.B.C. David's quiet and genial personality and his sterling qualities in Form. Playing Fields and House will long be remembered. School Mottoes are often regarded as necessary but conventional symbols, pointing to aspirations which the average schoolboy cannot hope to attain: but we have known no more fortunate example of the MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO than David. and. where DE NIANLY IN NIANUNI is concerned, he has be- queathed to us something intangible but very real. which can only inadequately be expressed by the bald phrase an influence for the better. SHIPLEY-Liniversity School was shocked to hear of the death of WV. Shipley on August 27th. 1955. 'Big john' entered University School in 194-1, and when he matriculated in 1949 he was a power in the School. His attractive personality. his keen and successful participation in every branch of School endeavour and his ability to lead won him many friends. His tragic passing at the early age of 2-1 is sad indeed. and the sympathy of all who knew him will go out to his Brother Bob and to his Parents. who for many years supported the School so strongly. 1N'.R.G.YY. 51 SCHOOL V.
