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.
