It is sufficient here to record the fact that on the playing fields, performances have seldom been equalled and never surpassed, while the number of Junior Matr'iculation 'Completions' equalled the record of 1951. Due probably to an increase in fees for Day Boys the enrolment fell from the previous year,s peak of 110 Boardcrs and 80 Day Boys to 103 Boarders and 65 Day Boys. The Upper School was full but there was plenty of room from Grade VH down, where local Private Schools could offer vacancies at lower fees through their ability to operate with lower overheads, e.g. comparatively small taxes, the use of public parks for playing fields etc. Where taxes are concerned - these have trebled in the last three years and we are now called upon to pay more than 84,000 to Saanich annually. Provincial legislation was passed in February to relieve the School of all municipal taxes, but we have to pay for this year at least. In our last issue we reported the grave illness both of Mr. Wlinslow. the Chairman of the Board of Governors, and of Mr. Cropper. Mr. Wlinslow has made a wonderful recovery, but Mr. Cropper died in January-a token tribute of our debt to him will be found elsewhere. During the year the School has suffered two further losses in the deaths of Dr. Boak and M1'. MacMullen, both of whom had been Governors for many years. Of the two vacancies created on the Board one has been filled by His Honour, Frank M. Ross. C.NI.G., LL.D., Lieut.-Governor of B.C, liVe are deeply cog- nizant of the honour paid to the School by the Lieut.-Governor and look forward to many years, happy association with him in his capacity as a Rlember of the Board. On Speech Day a brochure entitled A Matter of National Concernl' was distributed to the guests. It dealt with the Schoolls plan to raise a million dollars to put the foundation firmly on its financial feet. and anyone who would like a copy of this brochure will be supplied gladly on request. The need is very great and the response, we hope. will equal it. Already Mrs. R. A. Brown of Calgary, is donating a new Dining Hall Block in honour of her son, R, A. Brown. Mrs. NV. L. McCormick of Tacoma, Wash., has con- tributed fB10,000. Mr. NV. A. Savale S1,000, towards the Scholarship Fund. and other donations have been promised. At press time work is about to begin on the foundations of the Dining Hall Block. which is to be known as Brown Hall , and we should be in by Easter. There is a growing conviction among the leaders of this Country that no greater service can be done to Canada than the encourage- ment of Schools of this type. Unfortunately operating costs have now risen beyond the reach of fees, and only if these public-spirited people can make practical application of their views by helping this Fund can we hope to survive. All major activities did well and congratulations are in order to Dalziel, as Captain of Rugger. and Getz, as Captain of Cricket, for 6 the performances of their teams. whose exploits we celebrated with Team llinners at the Empiess Hotel: to all those who participated in the School's Dramatic Productions land particularly to Cl. Godfrey on his llramatic Sl llUlLlI'SlllIJ'1 to the Cadets and Honour Guard for maintaining their customary high standards: to B111 Proud111an's proteges for their niany entertainments: to the lYater Polo Teaiu for winning their one and only match: to the Record-brealters on Sports Day: to Hutchinson for leading the Province in English Literature in NIatric.',. and to all those. Hunlieralded and unsungn. who. by their enthusiasm and efforts. helped to make 1956-57 a memorable year. H. M. 5 4 A nw-0 The Greeks SPEECH DAY In View of the Provincial Gox'ernment's appreciation of the financial position of the Private Schools by the revision of the Rfuni- cipal Act. it was only fitting that the Guest of Honour on Speech Day should be the Attorney-General. the Hon. R. XY. Bonner. Q.C.. with Nfrs. Bonner to grace the proceedings in the afternoon, The attend- ance. as is customary these days. was more than the Hall could hold. and presented a very good case for a1'ranging future ceremonies on the playing field. The programme followed its normal pattern. with the address by X111 Bonner as the highlight of the occasion. The Chairman of the Governors seconded the vote of thanks ably proposed by R. R. Dalziel as Head Prefect. and yet another Speech Day was brought to a successful close. f Reading ...... Wlriting .......... Arithmetic ........ Spelling ..,....... English ....... French ........

Dial H. M. 8 CONFIRMATION During' the Fall and YYinler terms the Rev. A. Roberts. School Chaplain. gave a series of instructions to the boys who were desirous of being confirmed. These classes reached their culminating' point on March Qlst. when six boys were presented in St. Luke's Church to the Klost Reverend H. E. Sexton. D.D.. Lord Archbishop of British Columbia. for confirmation. In his address to the Candidates the Archbishop placed before them the challenge of their Christian calling as it would apply to all aspects of life. The Candidates were: Cameron Lynden Dial Richard Edward Grubb Terence Ernest Dial Richard Brian Hawkesworth David lNIcClintock Grubb Robert Charles Eckersall Nixon ACADEMIC RESULTS XVe had hoped for phenomenal performances this year. Our expectations were not absolutely fulfilled. but results were quite impressive and the 1951 record was equalled. Of 257 papers written 208 were passed r8l't5 H. and we must congratulate Hutchinson and Powell. who. according to our unofficial and amateur statisticians. were first in the Province in English -10 rLiteraturel and Greek 92 respectively, The following' completed their University Proggramrne IWJLITITOI' Matriculationl :- 'l.

Keble, A. ATHLETICS Sports training was started early again this year. The system of House standards, inaugurated last year, again spurred all boys to train and attempt to reach a mean,'. in each event. It was, indeed, gratify- ing to see so many boys doing something constructive during the-i-r free time. Starting blocks were optional in sprints, though most boys used them - to doubtful advantagel' The only new event this year was the javelin throw, this being the thirtieth year since it was last a sports day event. A new record was set at 143' 8 . A few boys used all possible means to achieve better performances -starting blocks and tins of glucose employed to excess. A good standard was maintained generally in each event. S. G. SPORTS DAY The Annual Athletic Sports took place on Saturday, June lst. Qnce again we were extremely grateful for perfect weather and a large audience of parents, Old Boys and friends. Results were quite good generally, one field event record being broken by Dalziel. who won the Javelin with a 143' 8', throw, beat- ing the 1925 record of 108, 8 . On the track, times were good, notable 12 Beyer Equals the Record in the Hundred being Beyer in the Open 100 yards, who equalled the 10.2 record. and Getz, who won the 120 yards hurdles in 1-1.8. breaking the 1951 record in that event. The Band of the Canadian Scottish Regiment was unfortunately unable to attend. After the Sports, tea was served on tables at the side of the field, after which the proceedings were gracefully rounded off by Mrs. Bonner ito whom our best thanks are due 1. who presented the trophies to the winners.

TRACK MEET It was unfortunate that last minute commitments made a triangular Track Meet impossible. We hope that next year the Navy and St. George's will both participate, The yenue for the match against Shawnigan was University School, on the evening of May 23rd. Conditions were ideal, with a slight breeze blowing down the field. The evening began with Shawnigan's gaining fiye of the first six eyents, notable being Mc- Alpine :Shy with a new Record of 2 m. 9 s. in the 880 yards, and Burke 1Sh.u with 10.2 s. in the 100 yards. Getz 1Un.1 set a new Record in the Hurdles with 1-1.6 s. - an extremely fine performance. A new eyent this year was the Jayelin. The winner was Radford iL'n.l. with a good throw of 121W ft.

McCTlaskey as Vice-Captain. had a remarkable season. There have. doubtless. been better teams representing the School, but it is unlikely that any have finished a more impressive season. They cele- brated the School's fiftieth anniversary in fitting manner. compiling the following record: Played lYon Pts. for Pts. against 13 13 201 27 The fact that the side conceded only four tries throughout the season would suggest defensive strength. Actually there was no great defensive ability behind the scrum, but more often than not the for- wards were able to win possession. This. coupled with the superlative play of Dalziel. who was always on hand when danger threatened. made up for the weakness in tackling which undoubtedly existed. Colours were awarded to B. E. B. Cuppage. E. St. Pollard, XY. G. Lund. A. McClaskey. E. Coleman. XY. G. Brunlees and R. B. Getz. The full side was as follows: R. R. Dalziel. A. Mcfllaskey, XY. G. Lund. B. E. B. Cuppage. R. B. Getz.

I5 ,mg M The Harker- Privett Trophy or Who Won? FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES sc1HooL t-. VICTORIA c:oLLEGE The School opened the season on October l-lth at Carnarvon Park. defeating a Victoria College side bv two goals 110 pts.1 to nil. Throughout the first half the School held a decided territorial advantage but scored only one try and that bv Dalziel. This try was converted bv Cuppage. who kicked well throughout the match. The forwards worked hard and fullv held their own. Behind the scrum Pollard and Cuppage. the halves. were not together, but Getz. at centre. made the most of the few opportunities he received. After the restart the College, with the wind at their backs, might have been expected to have more of the game but the School continued to plav spirited football. The halves settled down somewhat and the outsides had several good chances. The School increased their lead when Getz ran strongly before passing inside to Cuppage, who found Dalziel in support to take a difficult pass cleverly and score. Guppage kicked the goal from an easy position. The School continued to press and both Lund and Swangard were most noticeable at this stage. just before the end the School should have gone further ahead but Gup- page was unable to gather a slovenlv pass from Brunlees which bounced at his feet. A long run by Getz only just failed and Cuppage was short with a penaltv. but there was no further scoring and the School had won 10-O-a promising start. 16 SCHOOL v. VICTORIA COLLEGE Playing at home the School were successful against a mixed 'A' and 'B' Victoria College side by two penalty goals and a try I9 ptsq to a try Q3 pts.l. The School started well and it was not long before they opened their account. Cuppage kicking a penalty. A little later Whitehouse took a pass from Cuppage to run through a badly-placecl defence and score a try. which Cuppage failed to goal. Although the School had several other chances passes went astray at critical times and they had to be content with a six point lead at the interval. After half time play was even but ragged and lacking in incident. Cuppage kicked his second penalty. and the College. profiting by hesitant clearing by Getz on the School goal line. scored an uncon- verted try. It was a mediocre display by both sides. SCHOOL v. VICTORIA COLLEGE Playing at Carnaiyon Park the School met their strongest opposi- tion to date, It was a nip and tuck affair throughout. the School winning in the last minute in semi-darkness by two tries and a penalty goal 49 pts.l to two tries to pts. N. The College opened the scoring after a period of even play when one of their centres. receiving the ball on the half-way line. ran straight through to score a fine try. which was not converted. A little later Cuppage put the School on even terms with an excellent penalty. Shortly before half time the School took the lead when two College outsides passed back close to their goal line. The ball rolled loose over the line and Dalziel was on it in a flash to score a typical try. Cuppage failed to add the extra points. After the interval. play was very keen and mainly between the twenty-fives. The College drew level, however. when a big forward gained possession from a line-out and ran with determination to score a good try which was not improved. It was now becoming very dark and the game seemed certain to end in a draw, when Wlhitehouse took a pass on the opposing twenty-five and, running hard for the corner-flag, scored the winning try, which Cuppage failed to improve with the last kick of the match. The School played spirited football throughout and did well to win 9-6. SCHOOL v. VICTORIA COLLEGE Victoria College l'B'l were no match for the School. who won by three goals. a penalty goal and two tries 424 ptsm to nil. The School were on top throughout the first half. Swangard scored twice while both Getz and Pollard also scored, Cuppage kicked goals on three occasions. Later in the game the School fell away somewhat but Dalziel scored an unconverted try and Cuppage was successful with a penalty, to complete the scoring. 17 SCHOOL v. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL i Playing at home the School were superior in all departments, winning by two goals and five tries 1 25 pts.l to a penalty goal 43 pts.l. In the first half lNhitehouse ran well on the wing to score twice, Cuppage failing to convert on both occasions. McClaskey also scored a try and this was improved by Fairbourn. The School led 11-0 at the interval. After the breather Cuppage scored on two occasions. He failed to improve his first but Fairbourn was more successful with the second. Both NVhitehouse and Dalziel added tries but Cuppage and Fairbourn failed dismally to convert from easy positions. Oak Bay did little of a constructive nature behind the scrum, but were successful with a good penalty late in the game. Cuppage, whose place-kicking was very bad, otherwise had a field day. He scored twice and had a very considerable hand in four other tries. Wlhitehouse showed a nice turn of speed on the wing and profited from Cuppage's timely passing. SCHOOL v. ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL A well-contested game in Vancouver resulted in a win for the School by a goal and two tries t lx 11 pts. I to two penalty goals Q6 pts. l. Playing with the slope the School looked the more dangerous throughout the first half. They opened their account early in the game when St. George's were guilty of some slovenly passing in their own twenty-five and Dalziel. always on hand to profit by the slightest mistake. beat several opponents better placed than he to a loose ball to score a brilliant try. Cuppage kicked the extra points and the School led 5-O. A little later the School went further ahead when Coleman gathered a loose ball and his timely pass to Lund was accepted and turned to account. Cuppage failed to goal. St. George's, though win- ning most of the set scrums, did not appear to be unduly dangerous but were rewarded when a splendid penalty was kicked from far out. There was no further scoring before the interval and the School backs made little of their few opportunities. though Wlhitehouse on the wing did enough to show that. if intelligently fed, he was dangerous. After half time the ascendancy of the home side in the set scrums was most marked and for some time the School was hard pressed. During this period they conceded another penalty goal, a splendid effort, and then led by two points only. Play remained keen but rather ragged. until shortly before the end Getz dodged his way through the centre at speed to score a try which Cuppage failed to goal. There was no further scoring and the School had won a keen but unspec- tacular game 1 l-6. The School looked to be the more dangerous behind the scrum but were thwarted by the excellence of the St, George's hooking. Dalziel played a magnificent game and was the outstanding player on the field. SCHOOL v. VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL The School were too much for Victoria High School and won at home by two goals. a penalty goal and two tries H9 pts.l to nil. 18 The School started with a rush and soon opened their account when Dalziel blocked a kick on the opponents' goal line and fell on the loose ball to score a try which Cuppage turned into a goal. A little later Cuppage ran through the middle to score a try which he himself improved. and the School led IO-O. Shortly after this a High School three-quarter ran hard through the centre but failed to beat Fair- bourn. the School full back, who then was called upon almost im- mediately to deal with a similar penetration. The School were having by far the better of the argument however. Cuppage put Whitehouse in the clear but the School wing failed to beat the full back. and a little later Brunlees dropped Cuppage's scoring pass with the line at his mercy. There was no further scoring before half time. but the School lead of ten points might easily have been doubled. After the restart play fell away and became very ragged. How- ever, both Getz. who accepted a pass from Brunlees. and Cuppage scored tries which Cuppage did not convert. and the High School were outplayed. Shortly before the end Cuppage was successful with a magnificent penalty from a very difficult position. and the School had won 19-O. Cuppage again had a very good match, while both Brunlees and Getz continued to show improvement. The forwards did not pack well and the heeling from the loose was too slow. SCHOOL v. OAK BAY XVANDERERS This game. played at home. resulted in an easy victory for the School by three goals and three tries '24 ptsm to nil. The School opened their account early when Getz scored for Cup- page to add the extra points. A little later Getz scored his second try following some good work by Cuppage and Dalziel. Maintaining pressure the School were further rewarded when some indecisive tackling let Cuppage in to score a try which he goaled. Swangard completed the first half scoring when he combined well with lN'ilson. crossing at the flag and scoring between the posts for Cuppage to convert. After half time the pace eased greatly but the School were always the better side. After all the backs had handled lN'hitehouse took the final pass from Getz to score at the flag. Cuppage failed to convert. The final try came when. following a scramble on the lN'anderers, line, Lund was adjudged to have scored. Fairbourn failed to goal. In the closing minutes both Fairbourn and Cuppage were short with penalty kicks and the School had won 24-O. Cuppage was outstanding behind the scrum, while all the outsides performed creditably. Forward the School showed some improvement. but the heeling was again slow and line-out work noticeably weak. SCHOOL v. VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL The return with Victoria High School was played away and won by the School by a goal and a try I8 ptsm to a penalty goal If 3 pts. n. I9 The School were without Pollard and also Dalziel, their Captain, who thus, after 49 consecutive appearances for the lst XV, missed his first match, Play was largely confined to the area between the twenty-fives throughout the first half. and neither side impressed. The School scored the only try. however, when Getz accepted a pass from Brunlees to cross near the posts. Cuppage kicked the goal from an easy position. After half time the High School showed flashes of form but were never really together. and the School went further ahead when Pratt picked up a loose ball near the line and forced himself over to score a try which Cuppage failed to improve. The High School replied with a penalty goal and the School had won a rather disappointing game 8-3. Forward the School did little more than hold their own and missed Dalziel badly. Behind the scrum Brunlees had a good match in defence. but the rest were not up to form. SCHOOL v. OAK BAY HIGH SCHOOL Playing at lVindsor Park the School were all over Oak Bay High School and won by seven tries 121 pts.l to a penalty goal 43 pts.b. Favoured with rather more of the ball than their opponents the School outsides showed to advantage. YVhitehouse opened the scoring when he crossed at the flag after all the backs had handled, and both Cuppage and Getz added tries before the interval. Neither Cuppage nor Fairbourn was able to goal. 'After the changeover, both YVhitehouse and Getz added their second tries while Lund scored from Pratt's pass, and then Pratt him- self finished the scoring. Again the place-kicking was deplorable, none of the tries being improved. Oak Bay were successful with a penalty but seldom threatened. and the School won 21-3. SCHOOL v. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL The School were at full strength for the important away match with Shawnigan Lake. except for Pratt, who had to stand down because of injury. The groundrwas fast and a keenly contested game between two well-matched sides was expected. Such was the case and, although the School were the eventual winners by a goal and a try 18 ptsm to a try 13 ptsm, there was very little in it. From the opening whistle play was very even, and keen to a degree. Forward there was little to choose in the tight, but in the line-out Shawnigan were superior. In the loose the School, with Dal- ziel extremely prominent, showed to advantage. Behind the scrum Shawnigan looked rather more dangerous than the School outsides. Cuppage was closely marked and showed a tendency to run across the field, while the opposing outside half, well served by his scrum half, seemed to have more room in which to move. Shawnigan opened the scoring after twenty minutes' play. The School began a promising attack movement at midfield but a slovenly pass by Brunlees was beautifully intercepted by the Shawnigan wing, who was through in a flash. giving Fairbourn, the School full back, no chance. The try was not converted. The School then pressed 20 l 1 FOUNDERS HOUSE Seymour, Shaw, Cabeldu, Bain, Mooney, Simpson, D., Whitehouse, Sleep Pratt Coleman Dalziel lCaptl Getz YN'ilson, H.

Ross, Cotton, Sherwood Fairbourn Brunlees lNIcClaskey CCapt.l Lund Crowdy Cuppage Brown, P. 21 strongly and forward play of the keenest nature took place in the Shawnigan half. Lund was magnificent at this stage and he was well supported, but Shawnigan defended stoutly and led 3-O at the interval. During the breather the School pack gave the appearance of being thoroughly played-out. but when play was resumed they entered into the forward battle with rare zest and two good packs fought it out to the end. Behind the scrum the School played rather better in the second halfQ and they opened their account when Getz took a pass from Brunlees to score after a short run. Cuppage goaled and the School led 5-3, Following a spell of very even play in midfield the forwards carried play to the Shawnigan line, where the ball rolled loose and Brunlees was awarded a try from the resulting scramble. Cuppage failed to convert. Shawnigan were now five points down and time was running short. They seemed to err in that kicking ahead and to touch was overdone and possession lost thereby. Pollard was very prominent for the School at this stage. positioning himself intelligently and bringing off some good clearances at awkward moments. Mark- ing was very close by both sides and neither line was in serious danger again. The School won the best game of the season 8-3. SCHOOL v, ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL In winning by eight tries 12-l pts.l to nil the School, playing at home. gave a very fine display. The outsides were seen to better ad- vantage than in any other game of the season and some brilliant tries were scored. ln the first five minutes Getz had a splendid opportunity to put Pratt over on the wing but his pass was untakable. A little later Gup- page. taking a pass from Pollard in his stride, deceived the defence beautifully and went straight through to score a fine try which he failed to goal. Continuing to press the School went further ahead when Cuppage made a splendid opening for Getz, who finished thc movement brilliantly. Cuppage again failed to add the extra points. McClaskey was the next to score, forcing his way over from the loose for a try. which Fairbourn failed to goal. The final try of the first half was perhaps the best of the season, At midfield Pollard set the backs in motion, Guppage again made the opening, Getz and Brunlees took and gave their passes perfectly and W'hitehouse finished a lovely movement with a fine burst of speed to score at the flag. Fairbourn failed to convert and the School had played fine attacking football to lead 12-O at the interval. Guppage had dominated the first half, the opposition having little reply to his constructive and thrustful methods. The greatest credit was also due to McClaskey, the School hooker, who had decisively outhooked his opposite number and made it possible for the School backs to enjoy possession. After the restart St. George's saw to it that Guppage was marked far more closely. Nevertheless it was Guppage who put the School further ahead when he intercepted and just reached the line after a good run. A little later Dalziel harried the defence into error, finally beating them to a loose ball in the corner. Wilson was the next to score, breaking away from a line-out and crossing at the flag. St. 22 George's, whose forwards had been playing extremely well. now exerted heavy pressure. Very spirited forward play took place in the School twenty-five and St. George's were unlucky not to score. Eventually the School carried play to midfield where. just before the close. Cuppage shook himself clear and made a beautiful opening for Getz. who ran half the length of the field to outpace all opposition and score a try which Dalziel failed to improve. In winning 2-l-O the School backs. with Cuppage outstanding. had given a brilliant dis- play. The place-kicking was extremely bad, not a single goal being kicked. SCHOOL v. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL The return with Shawnigan Lake School was won by the School by three tries lg ptsm to nil, Two evenly matched sides were expected to give a good display. but unfortunately neither team was at full strength. and the outsides were unable to adjust themselves to the conditions created by a high wind which blew throughout. Shawnigan, with the wind in their favour. made little use of it and their outsides were never together. The School were by no means impressive either. but they opened the scoring against the run of the play. Pollard put himself in the clear and Cuppage positioned him- self cleverly to take a perfectly-judged pass and score a try which he failed to goal. Shortly after this Pollard was injured and the School played one short to the end. They increased their lead. however. when Getz intercepted and ran through to score on his own. Cuppage again failed to add the extra points. The School led 6-O at half time and the game had been even but uninspiring. Wlith the wind in their favour the School were expected to con- trol the game. They did hold a decided territorial advantage, but Pollard's absence was a serious handicap, the service from the scrum being too slow to be of any use. In addition the Shawnigan forwards played with great spirit and kept the School out until just before the end, when Wfhitehouse combined with Swangard to score the final try, which Cuppage failed to goal. In winning 9-0 the School completed an excellent season. being successful in all 13 matches played. YV. R. G. YV. 23 FIRST FIFTEEN CHARACTERS DALZIEL CCaptainl -Unrivalled as a wing forward, he enjoyed another splendid season. Tireless and determined he supported his outsides mag- nificently both in attack and defence. His ceaseless harassing of the opposition and his ability to profit by their every mistake brought him some brilliant tries. Enthusiastic. robust and courageous. he loved football and played it with a vim and verve all too rarely seen. McCLASKEY CYice-Captainl -Rather unwieldy for the position of hooker, he nevertheless stayed with it well. Only once was he consistently beaten, and for the most part he won his hooking duels. Spirited in the loose and the line-out. and very dangerous near the line. Always most enthusiastic and keen. LUND-Developed as was expected into an extremely good front-rank for- ward. Most spirited and effective in the line-out and an honest worker in the loose. Kept himself in good condition and always gave of his best. IYILSON I- A somewhat improved front row forward. Possessed good hands and was very useful in the line-out. Rather slow in the loose and his con- dition was always suspect. SWANGARD I-A useful second row man. He had some good games but appeared to play really hard in spells only. He must learn to tackle rather than wrestle. CROWDY - Quite useful in the line-out, and in the tight scrum. Rather slow and ponderous in the loose. SLEEP - One of the lighter members of the pack. he was usually outweighed and outreached though putting in rnuch good work. Tackling he enjoyed and he was one of the most reliable members of the team in this phase of the game. COLEMAN -Rather light, but experienced and intelligent, and had a splendid season as a wing forward. One of the best tacklers and fallers on the side, he was always sound and courageous in defence. POLLARD KSCYUIU Halfl -His service from the base of the scrum was not particularly quick but it was accurate and intelligent. Tackled and handled well. kicked adequately. faced forwards fearlessly and always gave of his best CUPPAGE COutside Halfl -An accomplished and experienced player. Handled beautifully and made clever use of the dummy and the short kick in attack. His passes were well given and he was invariably unselfish. In the main he was not quite so happy when defending, though here again his kicking ability was most noticeable. As a place-kicker he was a dis- appointment. - PRATT ClN'ing Three-quarterj -Keen, and a much-improved player. In attack he possesses sufficient speed, but he lacks resource as yet and his passing is uncertain. In defence he is adequate and shows no lack of courage. A weak kick. BRUNLEES fCentre Three-quarterl -An improved player who had some good matches, particularly in defence. In attack his passing, though im- proved. was not well-timed. His play was spirited but his condition was always suspect. YNHITEHOUSE fWing Three-quarterj - Possessed the pace to make him a dangerous man when in the clear, and when intelligently fed proved him- self to be a good finisher. Rather lacking in resource and guile owing to inexperience. and his defence is very shaky. GETZ CCentre Three-quarterl -Quite new to the game but possessed great natural ability. and was a brilliant finisher with pace. thrust and swerve. An untidy passer as yet and his defence is uncertain, but he is a player of rare promise. FAIRBOURN CFull Backj - Reasonably cool under pressure with good hands and the courage to fall in defence. His tackling is adequate but his kick- ing lacks both length and accuracy as yet. A very promising player. W. R. G. W. 24 THE COLTS Grubb. R. Schmidt Clark, G, Cohen Bird Brown, D. Montgomery Eyes. L. Lahey Bernard CCapt.l Godfrey, C. Forrester Allen Henman Ogle COLTS RUGBY The year on the Rugby Field was rightly dominated by the successful performances of the lst XV. In justice this record of the Colts season should begin by stating that this team also was never defeated and. of greater importance. that it saw the appearance of a number of players whose promise for the future raises high hopes that the current run of success will be a long one. A member of the visiting Barbarians team and a well-known coach stated that he would never be satisfied with fewer than three ninety-minute practice periods each week. excluding games. For various reasons it has never been possible to maintain such a schedule. However. the team this season was prepared to go out on to the field just to practise. and to keep practising. The reward for such enterprise should come in the week-end game. but the weather. sickness and lack of available opposition reduced the seasonal total of matches to six. The filst two games were played against Qualicum College. who were returning to Rugby after several years of absence and were not the equal of a more experienced side. Both scores ran to more than 50 points in the School's favour, This provided useful attacking prac- tice for the three-quarters and served to introduce newcomers to the game. but it tended towards a complacency in the team which was hardly justified. 25 The visit to St. George's produced the best performance of the season, and the team was widely congratulated on its speed, vigour and skill. The scrum played a good, fast game and the three-quarters were handling with unaccustomed sureness. The score was 22-3 and included two excellent tries-one scored by Forrester as the result of a close forward rush half the length of the field, and the other the outcome of a fine opening by Qgle, who sent the ball quickly down the line to Eves on the wing. At Shawnigan the opposition was stronger and the team suffered from a malaise that could not be attributed to the increase in altitude. The game was won by eight points to six. The excitement and suspense were altogether too prolonged for comfort. However, the standard of football was nowhere near as high as it had been the previous week. The scrum was slow on the loose ball. passes were dropped or went astray and tackles were missed. Grubb, at full back, frequently re- covered the mistakes of others, and without his steady tackling and kicking the matter would have ended otherwise. He had his reward when he kicked the winning goal. The Easter term was marred by the eccentricity of the weather. The only two matches were played in the last week of the term. Both of them were adequate victories against St. George's and Shawnigan, although all the teams were depleted through illness. The final game clashed with the Drama Festival and found three members of the team promoted to the Senate. 'An extra game was played against Qualicum, which provided an opportunity for those who had never appeared in a school match before, The Qualicum side was strengthened with some of their senior players and they won the game by a margin of six points. The exper- ience was valuable to those who would not otherwise have had a game. Several newcomers were on the team: Bird, Brown IH, Mont- gomery, Simpson H and Cree all came as novices and earned their places by enthusiasm and consistent practice. Montgomery has a natural stride and variation of pace, which give him fine possibilities as a centre. Brown supplied the answer to the lengthy search for a quick scrum half. reliable in defence as well as attack. Ogle and Grubb had previous experience which both of them used to considerable effect. They lent a restraint and sanity to their more hot-headed companions behind the scrum. Among those who survived from previous seasons. Eves I has fulfilled his promise and added good handling and an elusive quality to his natural speed. He is one of the best offensive three-quarters in the School. In the scrum Bernard re- turned to captain the side and lead the forwards: his excellent example was vigorously followed by Godfrey I, Forrester, Schmidt and Cohen. Lahey, though absent for a considerable time through illness, proved to be the only reliable hooker. Allen and Wenman, both experienced at scrum half. used their knowledge to good effect as break forwards, frequently supporting their outsides in attack and especially success- ful in gaining control of the loose ball. Peters, Glark I, Stephen, Wil- son II and Godfrey II also played on the side during the season. Apart from all these, there were many others who could be relied upon 26 to take an interest in the games, and those who gained their places in this team had to do so in the face of competition. Throughout the season both games and practices were conducted with enthusiasin and energy. If such spirit and acquired skill suryiye. the Schoolis Rugby has a bright future. C. li. i i lst XI Henman Wilson. A. Beban, D. BIcClaskey Dalziel Ode Pollard Coleman Getz lCapt.J Cuppage Fulton CRICKET The 1957 season was extremely short but yery successful. Only five matches were played but all five were won. the School games very comfortably. R. B. Getz and E. Coleman led the team as Captain and Vice- Captain respectively. and they had four other members of the 1956 Xl to assist them. The season was a triumph for the Captain. who scored 215 runs with only three of his fiye innings completed. His 20 wickets cost him 67 runs. so. with a batting ayerage of 71.6 and a bowling average of 3.35. he dominated schoolboy cricket in Victoria, The main batting' support came from Fulton. a most successful hitter. who made 103 runs for an average of 25.7. With the ball Cuppage was an outstand- ing performer. his 17 wickets costing him el.-ll runs each. Other mem- bers of the side were rather overshadowed. but there were players of all-round promise among them. whose day is coming, 27 Colours were awarded to B. E. B. Cuppage, R. R. Fulton and I. C. G. Ogle. The full side was as follows: R. B. Getz iCaptainl. E. Coleman, B. F.. B. Cuppage, R. R. Fulton. I. C. G. Ogle. A. D. O. IVilson, E. St. Pollard, R. G. W'enman, R. R. Dalziel. D. NV. Beban, A. lVIcClaskey. In the Clayton Cup Competition teams were captained by Getz, Coleman. Cuppage and Dalziel. Getz' XI were the eventual winners. For the second successive year Getz won the bat which is awarded to the best all-round cricketer in the School by the University School Incogs C.C. The House Match ended in a disappointing draw. W. R. G. VV. FIRST ELEVEN MATCHES SCHOOL v. OAK BAY C.C. The School did well to dismiss Oak Bay for 65 runs in the open- ing' match. Ogle took four for 18, Getz two for eight and Cuppage two -for 16. IVhen the School came to bat Getz scored freely, while wickets tumbled at the other end. Wenman offered stubborn resist- ance. however, and showed real promise in making 16 at a critical time. This partnership saw the School home and they won by 22 runs. OAK BAY C.C. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Warren, b. Getz .................... ..... 0 Ogle, c. Sparks. b, Kay ............. Kay. b.

R. G. W. ' FIRST ELEVEN CHARACTERS GETZ fCaptainl -A forcing batsman with strokes all round the wicket. Times the ball beautifully, particularly when driving. He is not quite so happy when playing back but he moves his feet quickly and his defence is adequate. lN'ith the ball his length and direction have improved without any sacrifice of pace. Very active and alert in the field, with safe hands. COLEMAN fYice-Captainj --Kept wicket very creditably for one new to the position. Though inexperienced and by no means Hnippyl' he had plenty of courage and his hands were good. Rather awkward with the bat and rather unfortunate in that he was asked to bat so early when his defence was not strong. Y CUPPAGE - Disappointed with the bat but will yet make runs, as his defence is adequate and he drives well. YYith the ball he maintained an excellent length and was as consistently good as he was unlucky. Excellent in the field both on the ground and in the air. FULTON-Enjoyed great success as a hitter, Rather unorthodox, and his bat was never really straight, but his eye was extremely keen and he drove the overpitched ball and pulled the underpitched with great power. In the field his ca'ching and throwing were good, but he was slow on the ground. With the ball he was not so reliable as formerly, his length and direction being inconsistent. OGLE - As a batsman he has strokes all round the wicket and a good defence. A useful change bowler who will improve as he develops in stature. In the fie'd his hands are excellent and he is always keen and alert. A player of the greatest promise. IYILSON II-A left-hfind bowler with a good action. lN'ith the bat he has some very nice strokes on the off but is weak on the leg side and in his back play. His approach to a difficult game is rather lethargic, and he must rise superior to the disappointments which are inevitable. 30 IYENIVIAN - Made a very promising start with the bat, Possessed a very fair defence and was strong on the leg side, but his bat was never quite straight when attacking the bowling in front of the wicket. In playing back he is slow to move his feet and position himself. His approach to the art of bowling is rather languid at present. Very dependable in the field. both on the ground and in the air. POLL.-XRD fwith the bat he never developed as was hoped. Possessed good hands and was always to be depended upon in the field. DALZIEL- A trifle more free with the bat but he is still very stiff. Excellent in the field, especially on the ground. BEBAN II - His defence is not good enough yet, but he shows promise with the bat and can drive powerfully, Very useful in the field. Always very keen. MeCLASKEYQWith the bat he possessed no scoring strokes but acquired some measure of defence. Slow but keen and dependable in the field. -W. R. G. W. COLTS CRICKET The record shows that five inter-school matches were played. one being won and four lost. Wlhat it does not show is that. apart from these games. time could only be found for the majority of members of the group to play two practice games and only three days were spent at the nets. As a result many young cricketers found themselves at the crease for the first time faced with a hostile and unknown bowler and probably unaware that runs are scored in straight lines and not in circles. This state of affairs was especially unfortunate in a year in which so many newcomers were keen to learn. In the course of the five matches the team included 23 players in an effort to com- bine selection and practice. Among these there were many who would have benefitted from coaching and who were keen enough to practise on their own but lacked the opportunity to discover how their pro- gress stood up to the test of a game. It is seriously suggested that the evidence indicates a lack of proportion in the distribution of time in the Summer Term. and that if the School wishes to continue to play adequate cricket attention must be paid to those who will, in a few years. become the Ist XI. Many members of this group discovered this season that there was much unexpected enjoyment to be had from a disciplined but light-hearted game of cricket. It is to be hoped that. in future. they will have an opportunity to pursue their interest. The first of the two matches against Shawnigan opened the season and provided the team's only victory. Shawnigan batted first and were dismissed for 34 runs. Allen took four wickets and Brown III three. In the innings which followed Eyes I and Allen were responsible for over half the total of 65 runs, while those who were more restrained in their style fell victims to indecision. Bravado has its reward at this level. The remaining time was divided to allow the less successful performers on each side to gain useful experience. Shawniganas revenge came in the last match of the term when the School, batting first, scored a hesitant 46. of which Eyes II made 12. The visitors passed this total with three wickets in hand. although at one stage they 31 had lost fiye for 22. Nowick, new to the game, proved himself a valu- able bowler by taking six wickets and maintaining a consistent length for 13 oyers, This performance is a tribute to many long hours profit- ably spent in the nets. The two Glenlyon games were marred by the careless loss of wickets by those who were not certain what to do next. Three times a batsman was stumped wandering out of his crease between balls, and twice the bat was flung out to square leg and a potential score ended in a 'run-out' as a premature attempt was made to recover the weapon. The game at Windsor Park was close. Batting first the School scored 35 runs, which were well distributed throughout the side. In reply Glenlyon produced 40. Allen and Beban II shared the wickets. The second game was less successful. The School,s total was but 22, of which Eyes I scored more than half. This score was passed for the loss of only two wickets. Against St. Micliael's a useful 14 from Eyes II allowed the School to collect 28 runs in all. Some good bowling suggested at first that this would be sufficient, but a determined stand of 23 for the sixth wicket disturbed the bowlers, who obliged with a succession of long- hops and full-tosses in an embarrassing display of hospitality. It would be inyidious to single out particular players for special mention. Success was often due as much to good fortune as to skill. All those who participated showed willingness and enthusiasm which it is' to be hoped will last them as they acquire the necessary experience. C. B. DISTANCE RUNNING sc:HooL caoss coUNTRY For the second year in succession Getz won the School Cross Country, leading the 99 entries home in 20' 35. Brown III was a good second and Eyes I a yery creditable third. The Robertson Cup for the first junior to finish went to Ogle, who ran splendidly to place seventh. Founders House were easy winners 306-584. ROYAL ROADS INVITATION CROSS COUNTRY The School fared badly in this splendid event and disappointed in placing ninth among ten entries. Hutchinson, always to be depended upon to giye of his best, led the School runners, placing 34th. in 24' 30 . Eyes I C37thl, Brown III t4f5th.l and Getz f50th.j made up the School four. There were 57 runners and the winner's time was 21' 5l. B.C. HIGH SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIP The School gaye a creditable display in this race, which was only 2.8 miles in length. Victoria High School 136 pts.l were easy winners and the School were only one point out of second place, having 69 pts, to 68 pts. for Victoria College. There were 55 runners, the School entries finishing as follows- Getz 6th.. Brown III 17th., Watt 18th., 32 Eyes I 28th., Hutchinson lilltli.. Dalziel 34th. and Ciuppage 16th. The winner's time was 12' 1-I , as against Getz, our first man's. 13' 1O.', SCHOOL y. VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL The annual run against Victoria High School. who were once again the leading team in the Province over distance. resulted in an easy win for the BC. Champions. 27 pts - 56 pts. Fraser, the brilliant High School runner. took only 21' 581' to coyer the usual Golf Course run. The School placed Brown III Sth.. Getz 6th. and XN'att 7th. in the first ten. Getz maintained his position as the leading distance runner in the School. Brown III. Hutchinson. Eyes I and XN'att were yery con- sistent. but Cabeldu and Storr. formerly promising, fell away and disappointed badly. XY. R. G. XY. t r BOXING CHAMPIONS Rigos, T. Chapman Coleman Ogle Dial, T. Brunlees Dalziel NIcClaskey Lund Blaude. N, Meakes Bice, H. BOXING The Boxing was not up to the standard set in previous years. This was largely due to the fact that there was no opposition for the potentially good boxers. The Junior School had compulsory fights. as has been the custom. but in the Senior School. where the competition nn .JJ was voluntary. there was an extremely poor attendance in the Ring. Perhaps every boy in the School should have the opportunity of fight- ing in a Ring with someone in his own weight class. The competition was also marred by boys' being unable to enter the competition through injury. The Junior School bouts were fought in a lively and spirited fashion. Notable amongst the Juniors were Bice I and Dial II, who both show great promise. In the Senior School Maude I won his weight easily. The most exciting and keenly-fought bout was in the VVelter lveight Final, where Lund beat Swangard I after an extremely close fight. We wish to thank the Navy for their co-operation in the training, and also all Officials for their assistance in the Finals. WINNERS Atom IN eight ....... .......................... .....

G. judging from the large number of entries, the interest in Tennis was as keen as ever this year. It was particularly encouraging to see so many Junior entries. In the Tournament the standard of play was good and a number of hard-fought contests resulted.'Fairbourn gave a very good account of himself in the final round for the Senior Championship against Getz. who won 7-5. 7-5. In the junior Section Wlenman romped through to the Finals, but Ogle proved too strong for him and beat him 6-3, 6-0. Getz was awarded the Barnacle Cup as the Senior Champion, and Ogle the Queale Cup as Junior Champion. Getz was also awarded his Tennis Colours. L. C. S. SWIMMING The 'Tank' was once again a major attraction throughout the Summer Term. Lnlortunately the High Boards are still unfinished, which eliminated a high standard of performance in advanced diving. 34 Nevertheless average programmes were recorded in the Senior Swim- ming Sports. held on the evening of -lune l'2th. Getz carried all before him to win the individual performance and also to lead Founders House once again to victory. XYater Polo was played eyery Thursday evening at Naden liar- raclas by kind permission of the P.R. K T. Staff. Naclen. One match was played. in which we beat a Nayy team 5-3. As a conclusion to the season a House Polo match was played in the Tank after the Swim- ming Sports. resulting in a win for lirentwood. S. G. It 'que' ,an- .

BASKETBALL The School Basketball had a very successful season. even though the win-loss column may not seem to indicate it. The Teams were formed in late September and continued through until just before Easter. The Open Team played twelve games in all. winning only two of these. but a strong. firm foundation was laid which should ensure success in coming seasons. XVilson I was elected Captain and, along with his Co-Captain. Bain, directed operations wisely. The first five included XN'ilson I. Ross. Richards. Getz and Bain. The bench strength ioften called upon included XN'hitehouse. Brown I. Swangard I. Mundorff and Carey. T 35 All members wish to thank hir. Grey for the time and effort which he gave the Teams. He was many things combined into one, and without him Basketball would have been almost impossible. The under 16 Team had a good season. In almost all their five games they grabbed early leads but were unable to maintain these. Beyer 1Gaptfl, Beban l and Montgomery were outstanding and will prove very valuable to the Open Team in the future. All members were creditablyieager and willing to play. L. L. Ross BASKETBALL MATCHES sc1HooL v. MoUNT DOUGLAS This game versus Mount Douglas High School proved to be the most exciting match of the year. Much to the surprise of the Mount Douglas spectators the School jumped into an early first quarter lead. Then our opponents collected themselves and out-played us to take the lead in turn. The half-time score was 16-9 in their favour. The opposition were three points ahead after the third quarter, and going into the fourth, and what seemed to be the final, quarter the School were ten points down. but to the amazement of all, the School put on a tremendous drive and. after Ross had sunk two free shots from a foul. the game was tied at 38 points each. In the over-time period the School went ahead twice on baskets by Wfilson I and Getz. but were unable to hold on and were eventually beaten 52-48. SCHOOL v. ST. GEORGFXS SCHOOL By this time the School had mastered its zone defence. which proved to be a decisive factor in their victory. The School controlled both back boards and most of the floor play. During most of the game we employed a tight zone defence, which slowed play considerably but also held the St. George,s score down. With the sound of the buzzer the School had won 39-24. Getz led with 13 points. Ross was next with twelve and Wilson I, whose rebounding and ball handling proved invaluable, scored six. SCHOOL v. SHAWVNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL Playing at Shawnigan the School lost their encounter 45-34. Our inability to break through Shawnigan's zone defence and get in under the basket was the biggest contributing factor for our defeat. Following pattern the School got behind in the beginning and had an uphill struggle throughout. 3 W During the second half the School started hitting from outside the key and in the end were only beaten by the clock. Getz, using his fine jump shot, led us with 13 points. 36 SCHOOL v. ESQLINIALT HIGH SCHOOL This game proved to be very disappointing to us. We had hoped to do much better. especially after our battle with Blount Douglas. Esquimalt's well-drilled. fast-breaking team soon jumped into an early lead and at half time the score was 23-10. In the second half the School changed to a semi-zone defence. which bogged down the Esquimalt attack. But though the School were playing improved Basketball our opponents' early lead held and we went down to ultimate defeat 43-20. Richards showed very prominently in this game. scoring ten points for the School. SCHOOL v. SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL The home game against Shawnigan was played in the School Gym.. and both teams were hampered by lack of floor space. The game was slowed down considerably by an over-abundance of fouls and a lack of constructive plays by either team. After the half time period Shawnigan adapted their style of play to fit the small floor area and started to pull away. During the final minutes the School rallied strongly and managed to come within one point of Shawnigan. As the buzzer sounded we were on the short end of a 30-29 score. Ross led the School scorers with 11 points. SCHOOL v. ROYAL OAK HIGH SCHOOL Playing at Royal Oak the School earned a good victory. thump- ing their opponents 65--ll. During the first half the School played an almost totally offensive game, trying to match each Royal Oak basket with two of their own. The School thus grabbed an early lead and never once relinquished it. After half time we put on a full court press and built up quite a substantial lead. In the fourth quarter we employed a zone defence. NVe had experimented with this defence in the Esquimalt game. but now for the first time the kinks seemed to be worked out and it proved very successful. Ross. Getz and llundorff played exceptionally well for the School. SCHOOL v. VICTORIA COLLEGE On three occasions the School played Victoria College, losing each time. Hihile the School played the first game very seriously and managed to come within five points of the College score, they re- garded the next two rather as practice games and took the opportunity of trying out new plays and players. The policy proved very valuable to the School as it gave them the chance to experiment on a large floor. L. L, Ross .fx- J. GYMNASTICS Much more work was done this year in advanced Gymnastics, even though the standard attained did not merit the employment of the term 'iGyrn VIII. The Seniors worked one evening a week, the Juniors two. The Junior VIII again performed in the Gym on Inspec- tion Day. putting on a very creditable performance of mat and box work. K S. G. THE CORPS Capt. Cropper's death has been. of course, a grievous blow, and it is only a slight consolation to be able to claim that his Corps has, in some measure, maintained the high standard which he set, and for which he laboured so long and so successfully. The Annual Inspection took place on May lst. It had been too much to expect an eternal succession of fine days: moreover we had always wished to find out how the Troops would behave in wet weather. They gave of their best: and we appreciated the insouciance of Capt. Dalziel, who dragged the Inspecting Officer fGol. the Hon. R. XY. Nlayhewi mercilessly out into and round under the elements. The latter may have wilted, but he declined to retreat, resisted the temptation to demand an umbrella and had some very complimentary remarks to make afterwards. 'No. 1, fLt. A. NIcClaskeyl was adjudged Best Platoon. Final results are not yet known, but we understood unofficially, a little while ago, that we were running at least second in the Province. Gur thanks go to the 'Scottish' for their co-operation throughout the season. The Corps has been more active abroad and selected bodies have represented us at various functions and schemes, including in particular, a Church Parade in Victoria and the Laying Away of the 2nd Battalion Colours at Nanaimo. Our representatives are to be congratulated upon their general bearing. This means, as every Veteran will know. that they were tactful and undetected in the peccadilloes to which the Army. in any case, tries to turn a blind eye. An innovation was an Inspection and Ma1'ch Past of the Honour Guard and Band as a curtain-raiser to the Speech Day ceremonies. The Guard. which had faced far more serious fire at Parliament Buildings. performed with exceptional sang-froid and smartness. Our thanks go. also. to our various Instructors. Ifnder Mr. Grey a smooth P.T. Demonstration. on Inspection Day, had not this year to be preceded by the last-minute agonies of continuous re-rehearsal which we have been led. almost as a matter of course, to anticipate. Under Lt. Berrisford iwho seems to relish sitting long hours in semi- darknessi the Shooting has reached new heights. Our May lst. g'In- spection of Records was the best ever . This always materializes in the bowels of the Inside Armouries, after the Company itself has wiped the sweat from its brow, peeled off its Army Boots and decided 38 SUNSET CEREMONY 'Sh' xx Lowering the Flag Alderman Edgelow presents the Stick to Cadet Siorr 39 'S'-5M that all is now completely over for another twelve months: and the Spanish Inquisition was as an English Garden Party compared with our sufferings on this occasion. The pigeon is Mr. Storr's particular property, and results confirm our suspicion that they learn a thing or two at Sandhurst. Capt. Higgs' self-sacrificing zeal has been, once more. very much in evidence where the Band has been concerned. The Cadet Staff has been even more energetic and efficient than usual. and there have been very few weak links. At the risk of appear- ing invidious we IDuSt congratulate C.S.M. VV. G. Lund KCenturio Priimipilarisu -previously we had not dared to hope for two Stothards,' in succession: and we must congratulate and thank Lt.- Quartermaster R, F. Deachman, who surmounted the difficulties peculiar to his Post with a divine patience worthy of a more honest cause. Two 'Sunset Ceremonies' saw the Honour Guard and Band produce immaculate performances. In the Colour Party Godfrey II and Wenman. our two smallest Cadets, shone in outsize kilts sustained by a precarious piece of mechanics known to the Senior Matron alone, and duly supplied the emotional uplift required for the elderly- feminine portion of the many spectators. We offer a premature but hearty welcome to next year's recruits, who. at our time of writing, are blissfully unaware of their Fate in Store. CADET STAFF Capt. R. R. Dalziel Lt. A.

Our scores and position in the D.C.R.A. were higher than any on recent record. Two teams were entered and the first one was placed 30th. 40 in Canada and second in the Province. The I.O.lJ.E. was our first competition shoot and was disappointing. Wle were placed sixth in the Province. Our performance in the lVoodward Cup was. as usual, most promising. l'Ve are still waiting for the final results. Two of the competitions listed were new to us. The Youth of the Empire competition covers the entire Commonwealth. The results will not be known until early in 1958. However. a comparison of our scores with those of other units in previous years suggests that we should be well placed. The competition is fired by the whole unit. although only half the targets count. For interest and convenience four teams were formed. two from each House. The composition of these teams does not affect the unit's final average, which was 8-1-ff. The regulations state: Units with an average of 75'2 or over will be deemed to have attained 'Mass Efficiency'. which. for all its Marxist implications, is highly satisfactory. The other new competition is the Adam Cup. inaugurated this year for Cadet Units on Vancouver Island, For this we entered four teams, one from each Senior Grade. The Grade XII team led on average over the three shoots, but in the final, held at Bay Street Armouries. against the second team from the 89th. Kinsmen Air Cadets. was narrowly defeated. We also took the Army Classification Tests for the first time and produced the following excellent totals:- Marksmen ............... ..... 8 O lst. Class .... ..... 2 5 2nd. Class ..... .. 2 Failures ......,............................. 2 By a further exercise in statistical manipulation this gives the Unit an efficiency of 98.25. Recreational Shooting continued to occupy the bulk of the time in the Christmas Term and the following number of badges were gained:- Expert .......... .. 1 Marksmen ..... ..... l l Ist.

No account of the Shooting activities would be complete without recording the set-back that we have sustained in this field through the loss of M1'. Cropper. He gave much of his time and energy to the Shooting, and his tireless interest was the real foundation of this yearls success. Nothing would have pleased him more than to see those whom he so carefully trained winning honours in these competitions. All AWARDS Harvey llernorial Rifle- Best Shot for the Year ,....... R.

Assistant Instructor CORPS RADIO After pushing open the door of the Radio Shack at the beginning of the 1956-57 year we found that we possessed two new 'l9' sets as well as four '58' sets and numerous other pieces of equipment. This was a considerably better start than had been enjoyed in previous years, although it had usually been possible to end the year with suf- ficient equipment to put on a good show on Inspection Day. This promising start was. however. destined to be shortlived. The '58' sets were soon removed. although the authorities advised us that four '26' sets were to come in their place. In the meantime the 'l9' sets were found to be badly in need of re-calibration and tuning. They were therefore picked up and taken in for alignment etc. It was a pleasant surprise to have them returned to us in good shape in about four weeks. But the '26, sets for which we were waiting never arrived. When May lst.. Cadet Inspection Day. came. it found us well prepared in all respects except radio equipment. for we had only two '19, sets. one portable switchboard and four D5 field phones. It was only by dint of hard work. and excellent co-operation on the part of the seven men in the communication corps. that we managed to put on any show at all. R. YY. Spilsbury. Gpl. SIGNALLING The opening of the signalling class saw some 25 attentive students of llorse sitting in their desks. fanatical gleams in their eyes. How- ever. as the weeks wore by their scale of ivalues altered. Spare time during break and lunch suddenly became very desirable, Those who stuck it out and took the trouble to learn their Morse managed to qualify for the privilege of taking the Army Tests, thereby receiving their main reward. which they had been looking forward to for so long-a half-holiday from classes.

M. C. Godfrey, L. Cpl. FIRST AID This year the First Aid Class netted twelve Medical Students . The Cadets studied the St. john course with interest. and as an added feature Freddy Schmidt put in a touch of W'itch Doctoringu. On the completion of the Course the Cadets were tested, with 1009? success. As Inspection Day approached the Class devoted much of its free time to perfecting a display. ltVhen the day arrived over twenty Cadets put on a show of which they can well be proud. Even though the display was given in the pouring rain. it was of top quality and was highly commended by Col. Nlayhew. My congratulations go to the Class on their fine test results and my thanks to the volunteers for the display. YV. Lund, C.S.NI. THE BAND This year the Band started out with twelve Buglers. seven Side Drummers, two Tenor Drummers, one Bass Drummer and One Cymbals. During the year our affiliation with 'Scottish' proved very useful. We received from them a tenor drum, a slightly-used leopard skin. four white leather drum slings and four side drums. to make up for the ones which we had to return to our previous unit. The loss of Wilson I just before Inspection Day gave rise to a few anxious moments, as we were without a bass drum: but lVhite- house stepped in and did an excellent job. even though it did mean that there were less side drums. I To Capt. A. G. Higgs. who gave his time. advice and ideas freelv we send our heartiest thanks. Cn Inspection Day the Band put on a fifteen-minute display which. thanks to Capt. Higgs, was a signal success. R. F. B. Price. Band-Sgt. 43 SCOUTING The 1956-57 year was off to a good start with seventeen new Scouts. some invested and some transferred from other Troops, one from as far away as Ceylon. Normal patrol training was carried out. raising the number of proficiency badges in the Troop to 121. Ma1'ks1nan's badges were earned by most of the junior Scouts. There were few outdoor activities besides softball and some short hikes. but the tank was well-filled whenever we had the use of it. Another table-tennis tournament was held this year, and it is promising to become an annual event. During the fall term the four P.L.'s attended the Patrol Leaders' Conference. In April we were host to six of the Scouts who came from the Yukon and BC. to be presented with their Queenls Scout certif- icates by the Lt.-Governor. On May 3rd, we took part in the Victoria District Swim Meet at the Crystal Garden. and won the Champion- ship Cup. We were unable to participate on Apple Day because it took place after School was over. However. three of the Scouts spent an industrious Saturday painting three hundred of the wooden apple- trays, Wle shall have a complete Group this September. Mr. Keble will be the Cubmaster, Mr. Hird the Scoutmaster and Col. Girard the Rover Leader. The nucleus of the newly-formed Rover Crew will be the seven Scouts who transferred to the Fairfield Crew and there qualified as Rover Squires. E. R. Powell, Patrol Leader FOUNDERS HOUSE Sparked by the House Tutor. Mr. Berrisford, and stimulated by the ever-apparent House Master. Mr. Wlenman. we have had a most memorable year. The willingness of Mr. Berrisford unselfishly to devote his own time to taking the boys to the Rev. Roberts' Church, and on frequent excursions to the Pot-Holes , has contributed greatly to the well-being of the House. Our Sports record was most satisfactory. In the inter-House Cricket, Rugby and Boxing we broke even, while we were victorious in the Swimming and the Cross Country Run. We won the over-all Sports Competition and Sports Day hands down. Led by Getz we were able to offer great strength in all sports, and I feel assured that we will continue to lead in these departments next year, lfVith rue our hearts are ladenn could be the term applied to our own feelings with the realization that we must bid adieu to our popular House Tutor. who leaves us for the open spaces of the Lone Star State and a post in a school in Dallas. liVe wish the best of luck to all those who are returning next year, and the House every success in the future. Robin R. Dalziel -1-1 BRENTWOOD HOUSE Again this year our thanks must go to Nlrs. XVood, Mr. Grey and N112 Genge. who, throughout the year. unselfishly gaye their time. effort and understanding to the boys in their House. NVQ- know the Prefects of next year will be greatly benefitted by their guidance. Although Brentwood did not achieve outstanding success in some of the athletic competitions with Founders. both the Rugby Match and the Cricket Match ended in draws. For this much credit should go to Burke Cuppage for his ability and determination in both games. In closing I think that a quotation from Longfellow would be very much in order: Let us, then. be up and doing, With a heart for any fate: Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait. james A.

This ten-aside game was a wild, un- skilful tussle from beginning to end, and was chiefly remarkable for the gallant effort of Founders in scoring first. and holding their more powerful opponents to a narrow margin of victory. -I5 ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL - The Shells played Soccer in the first and second terms of the year. the inter-House Soccer Match tak- ing place on March 22nd. Founders won without difficulty. The Shells managed to win their under 12 Soccer Match against Shawnigan 3-1 in a game in which Berard. Marsden and Meakes deservefto be mentioned for enterprising play. CRICKET- In the Summer the junior House played Cricket in two sets with a good deal of enthusiasm but little skill. The base- ball swing was too much in evidence. and the lack of good bowlers made it difficult to train batsmen. The fielding and throwing in gradually improved as the term went on. Brentwood won the Re- moves inter-House Nlatch and Founders the Shells. ATHLETICS - As Sports Day approached the Athletic Stand- ards began. and these were carried through with much keenness by almost every boy in the Junior House. They did a great deal to help in the Boys' physical development, especially for those who were not particularly good at Athletics. All the Tests were passed by Dial II. Bapty. Bice I. Marsden. Mansley, Bice II and Roberts. Founders passed 122 Tests raverage 3.91. Brentwood -17 raverage 1.81. CROSS COUNTRY - The Cross Country course was com- paratively short. being adapted to the age of the youngest competitors. and it did not give the runners distance enough to spread out. This made difficulties for the Judges at the finish. but there was plenty of enthusiasm, The first eight home in each House were counted, Cutt being first in for Founders. and Dial II for Brentwood. Cutt was also first in the field and the House result was a draw. each House scoring 69 points. CHESS - The inter-House Chess Competition took place in February. Twelve boys participated. In the finals Clark III. Founders, beat Dial II, Brentwood. TABLE TENNIS - Twenty-six boys took part in a Table Tennis Tournament in january. The final. between Strandberg and Elphicke, was won by the latter. . HOBBIES-The Hobby Room produced. along with a great quantity of chips and waste paper. some good model planes and boats, and there was a good deal of work done. in the evenings, on clay models and on Morse Signalling. A number of boys worked many hours on crystal sets. LIBRARY-The Magazines and Newspapers were much and violently used. and there was a great call for the Encyclopaedias, while some boys were keen readers generally of the books in the Library. CHAPEL A- Bliss. Keble made a small Chapel for the boys at the top of Harvey House. where Prayers were said every evening. HOUSE POINTS-Points for good and bad work, reflected each week in the Detention Book. were added up at the end of each term. On these points. Brentwood came top in the first and third terms. Founders in the second. YV. T. K. 46 DRAMA The principal production this year was a presentation of 'Henry IV. Part I.' It was chosen to provide an opportunity for our more experienced performers to tackle parts that were recently described by the Director of the Qld Vic as the richest in Shakespeare. More than thirty players were required and the range to be covered gave plenty of scope to individual preference. In addition to the work done during rehearsals, this production entailed the construction of a sec- tionalised stage. complete with wings, the erection of a full size curtain. the installation of lighting and sound equipment and the rehearsal of a complicated system of scene changes on an adaptable set. All this was completed in one term by the boys themselves. Over forty costumes were made and for this achievement we are especially grateful to Rlrs. Genge. and to Mrs. VVhyte of the Costume Shop. An independent critique of the production appears elsewhere. The enthusiasm that resulted from this production was such that the original plan for a small entry in the School Drama Festival had to be expanded. It was decided to enter two plays: one a drama by Eugene O'Neil for the more experienced actors. and the other an extract from Shakespeare to be directed by two members of Grade XII and cast from Grades VIII and IX. In the Zone by Eugene 0,Neil is a one-act play about the ten- sions arising on an ammunition ship in wartime. Played on an open set under restricted light. it gave a fine opportunity for the actors to control their audience. Judging from the reaction of those who attended the performance the result lacked neither excitement nor humour. Two scenes from 'Julius Caesar' were directed by Coleman and Godfrey I, who also played Ma1'k Anthony. Using the simplest possible setting, avoiding any attempt at elaboration, they achieved a sense of movement through the careful manipulation of the crowd. Area lighting in two colours produced a statuesque effect that was most impressive. The adjudicator's comments on both productions were compli- mentary. Out of thirty plays in the Festival both were included in the list of six that she felt deserved the honour of a repeat perform- ance, Furthermore, Godfrey I was awarded a Theatre Course Scholarship at If.B.C. as the best actor in the Festival. All this is especially creditable in view of the fact that. at the time. various forms of pestilence were sweeping through the school. and the cast in neither play remained stable from one rehearsal to the next. Godfrey's success came as the climax to a year in which he had produced two remarkably competent Shakespearian performances. Mark Anthony, in the two famous scenes surrounding Caesar's death. presents little difficulty to an actor with a clear voice and strong stage personality. Even so, Godfrey managed to suggest more than mock heroics, and Anthony was seen as a grasping opportunist. turning Caesar's tragedy to his own glory. In Henry IV. the part of Hotspur 47 shows another aspect of ambition. Here the accent lies on the fiery nature of a young man who has a crown before his eyes. Godfrey produced a study in stammering impetuosity which was quite remark- able for its control over the audience. Such domination is the life blood of the Theatre. Allen made fine use of his gifts as the young Henry V. His particular asset is a highly developed sense of timing with which he can enliven comedy or create tension, as he capably did in the demanding part of Davis in In the Zone . To succeed as a riotous mediaeval Prince and an insufferably egotistical sailor argues a wide range and considerable talent. Wilson II, as Henry IV, produced the most mature student performance of the season in the scene in which he recalled his hard struggle for the Crown to his errant son. In these few minutes the whole production was justified. The same actor had to spend part of In the Zone acting without speaking, and was for a long period tied and gagged, It takes more skill than is normally appreciated to produce a recognisable character under these circumstances. Pitre came into his element as Sir John Falstaff and his comic success was never for a moment in doubt. He also learned and played two parts from In the Zone to fill last minute gaps caused by illness. Lund was acting in earnest for the first time this year and learned quickly. His performance as the Irish Driscoll showed a feeling for language, character and audience con- trol that suggests a promising future. Brown I used his clear voice to good effect in Shakespeare. and his unflustered restraint as Yank was a sensitive interpretation of a difficult role. Coleman deserves special mention because, apart from playing Vernon in Henry IV, he learned the whole of the King's part in three days, when it seemed that Wilson would not be fit enough to appear. Furthermore, he car- ried much of the burden in the direction of Julius Caesar. Altogether over a third of the members of the School were asso- ciated with these productions in one capacity or another. We have now built a stage and have acquired useful reserves of lighting equip- ment, make-up and costumes. The suggestion that those who act could not also study has been proved groundless by the examination results this Summer. To combine these facts with the undoubted en- thusiasm that exists at all levels is to demonstrate that the School could, for many years to come, maintain its high reputation in this field, and keep open a branch of education that is both useful and enjoyable.

Friday and Saturday, Dec. 6th.. 7th. and 8th., excellent presentations of Shakespeare's King Henry IV, Part I were given in the school memorial hall to most appreciative audiences. The four principals, King Henry IV, played by Andrew Wilson. his son, Prince Hal, taken by Fred Allen, Harry Hotspur, acted by Colin Godfrey and the inimitable Falstaff, played by Ross Pitre, all gave most convincing presentations, The other characters in the play added excellent support. All in all the play was an outstanding success. The presentation by young students of an entire Shakespearian play, such as King Henry IV, Part I, is a venture that demands en- thusiasm and intelligent co-operation from all sharing in the effort. To have participated in such a performance will be for the individual boy one of the most memorable experiences of his entire school life. It would be difficult to over- estimate the value of such training. Credit must also be given to the Production Staff and others. both students and adults, who. working behind the scenes, were re- sponsible for the multitudinous tasks incident to such a production. Special credit, however, should be given to the Director, Mr. Chris Berrisford, for his ability, courage, resourcefulness and patience in the training of the young actors. The success of the performance becomes all the more remarkable when one considers the difficulties overcome because of the lack of facilities for the production of the play.

This proved to be most popular. and the performance, which was somewhat a novel departure for most of the boys, held them spellbound throughout the evening. The Christmas Concert, which this year was held in the Dining Room during the annual Boarders' Dinner. was a rich source of IIlUS1C3.l entertainment. The audience. while dining, was regaled by 50 the strains of the fine voice of Nlr. john Dunbar. the well-known local baritone. His ease of manner and superb voice were shown to partic- ular advantage in the most exciting of his songs -- Song of the Open Road by Malotte. Nfrs. Peggy Wlalton Packard, whom we were pleased to hear again, delighted us with a Christmas Song, and some pieces from A, A. NIilne's Christopher Robin series which were specially appreciated by the younger boys. Other varied items in- cluded Carols by the boys of the Choir, accompanied by Anthony Keble on the recorder: Peter Warlock's The First Mercy . sung by Eves II: and Mr. Billy Davidson and his huge Tuba in Asleep in the Deep , and a fine rhythmic number called Brass Bass Boogie , which left us all iperformer and audience aliken gasping! Undoubtedly the most popular performers of the evening were Brown and W'oodland. as duo-accordionists. who performed with great spirit and obvious enjoyment. They had worked hard on a medley of Christmas Songs and Carols, and the spontaneous manner in which the School as a whole joined in the singing was a tribute to their efforts. Finally. in an account of this evening, one cannot omit mention of Mr. Grey's Twelve Days of Christmas , which, with its endless repetition and infectious good humour, caught the fancy of the house and was lost ultimately in a storm of applause! During the year the School was fortunate to be visited by a R.C.A.F. Band, who gave us a long concert. Their performance was made the more interesting and instructive by the Conductor's com- ments on each item of music. He further explained that the Band was truly representative of Canada because the members were drawn from all parts of the country. The playing was marked by a fine sense of discipline and precision. and the performance of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, with its final thrilling climax of thundering percussion and clanging bells, was most brilliant and stimulating. On the lighter side, a performance of Haydn's Toy Symphony , which we were informed has been wrongly attributed to the Austrian composer. provided great amusement. and the picture of a group of Bandsmen playing upon toy whistles. bird-calls and rattles will remain long in the memory of the boys. On Speech Day the Choir sang a charming French-Canadian folk song called Gay lon law. On the academic side Hudson I has followed a course of studies leading to completion of Music '1O', and we read with pleasure in a recent issue of the Victoria Daily Times that Mandy is most successfully pursuing his studies at the Pianoforte. R. P. ART The school year started with Mr. Corry giving notes on the history of Art, going back to the time of the ancient Egyptians. 1fVhen not taking notes the classes were divided into two groups --oil painters and sketchers, Outside sketching was allowed when fine weather prevailed. 51 Creating travel posters was another activity which was under- taken towards the end of the school year. The annual prize for the best progress during the year was awarded to L. F. Cohen. Bilichael Wlhittaker. THE PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club was re-organized. with 15 members, at the beginning of the Spring Term. The Officers elected were as followsz- President. John Deach- man: Vice-President. Dale Simpson: Treasurer David Browng Secretary. Robert Swangard. Dues of S750 along with S150 from the previous year were used for purchasing photographic supplies. Most of the Club activity took place during the Winter Term. when the dark room was used for developing. printing and enlarging. The majority of the club members was using dark room equip- ment for the first time. Dark room instructors were Nlalcolm Smith and Robert Swangard, John Deachman THE PROJ ECTION ROOM During the School Year students had the opportunity of seeing two showings of films every weekend in the Niemorial Hall. The films were selected to provide the widest possible range of subjects. In addition to the regular entertainment films the students saw educational films shown by representatives of the Three Services, the Canadian Oil and Gas Industries and other branches of commerce and industry. A collection of old films dealing with past school activities was edited into one film by Mr. Grey. Unfortunately the editing was com- pleted too late in the year to show the film to the entire School. The first public performance will come early in the next Christmas Term.

Douglas was in the thick of things at the time of the Suez invasion',, and from all accounts came out of the affair with great credit. He is now once more stationed on Cyprus. During the summer holiday we received a visit from COL. D. B. BUELL. who is in charge of Militia and Cadet Training for the Canadian Army. Cadet Shooting results pass through his office in Ottawa, so he was quite at home in more ways than one when, while walking about the School. he spotted in the Common Room a file of D.C.R.A. Targets. YVe were very glad to have a short visit from VV. G, HEGGIE. Bill , though definitely thinner on top. looked as robust as ever. He now resides in Seattle. Recent Old Boys will be interested to hear of T. NIANDY'S progress. In June examinations of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto his performance won him the unprecedentedly high mark of 9092, a silver medal and the Frederick Harris Scholarship. This is the sixth occasion on which he has won first class honours in Royal Conservatory examinations. Prospects for his musical career are bright indeed, and his progress will be followed with interest.

THE TIE The advantages of wearing a School Tie are not immediately apparent to the newcomer. who is apt to resent the idea of carrying a woollen noose about his neck. There is, nevertheless, much to be said in favour of the School Tie. -I often wonder what the poor Public School Boy does when he spills the ink bottle. Now. as anyone round here can tell you. this would be a job for the trusty School Tie. The wool of these ties pos- sesses truly astonishing absorbing powers, Also, what does our Public School Boy use for a pen-wiper? XVith what does he wipe away his tears after reading his 'Romeo and Juliet'? Suppose he has a nosebleed, or u less serious, but almost as troublesome! suppose he develops a running nose and his Kleenex supply gives out! How does he shine his shoes in an emergency? If his braces snapped. where could he get a temporary belt in a hurry? If 1 were to ask my fellow inmates of this School these searching questions, they would reply with one mighty voice, Q'He needs a School Tie . They would be absolutely right, for not only is a School Tie an article of clothing with many uses. but, as is well known, a clean, neat School Tie gives an air of quiet dignity. good taste and distinction to the wearer. 101' is it user,'? 1.
