tone of the school as a whole -have ruled more by example than by force and. although early in the year we had many troubles to contend with. their leadership has. in the end, produced what can best be described as a happy ship. and a year on which we can look back with satisfaction as one of solid progress and achievement. It remains for me now only to introduce our guests of honour, Bishop and Mrs. Xlarting To the School Bishop Martin requires no introduction. since he has already preached on more than one occasion in our Chapel, and for that reason we are. therefore, the more happy to have him with us today. lfor 21 years. Dr. Martin administered his parish as Rector of St. Georges. XN'innipeg. until at last he was persuaded to accept a wider diocese and. for the next 20 years following. he was Bishopof Saskat- chewan. covering a vast territory of 600.000 square miles with a population ranging in all its variety from the simple Eskimos of the North to the comparatively sophisticated citizens of his headquarters at Prince Albert. lX'ith the pioneering that he has done and the wideness of his interest and influence. few men can have seen as much of the Hreal' Canada as Bishop lN1artin. We are extremely glad that he and Nirs. Nlartin have now settled in Victoria. and it is with the greatest pleasure that I ask him to present the prizes and afterwards to give the address.

last summer term and great was the din thereof. All through the sum- mer vacation lXIr. NVheaton's men laboured and, when fall term began, we were able to use first one classroom, then another, then one labora- tory, then another and then the Assembly Hall once again and, finally, the whole building. All this time the foremen pushed and fretted and fumed with a personal interest and regard for our problems as though they were their own. Never, indeed, has any building been constructed with more goodwill between the builders and the school. lXIeanwhile, the gym foundations were excavated, slowly the walls were raised and the roof completed: finally the fioor was laid and then came the great day when the first gym practice could be held indoors. Our school carpenter, Erwin Presthofer, did the woodwork of the Armouries and rifile range and the lockers and, lastly, hxed the old Honour Boards with the teams, cricket, rugger and gym and the cap- tains of Cadets, of shooting and the rest, going back to 1907, firmly to the walls. Old Boys will be proud and glad to see how well these treasured relics from the old gym look in their new surroundings. May I, at this time, pay tribute, not only to lNIr. XfVheaton, the Con- tractor, and his team, but also to the Architects, Messrs. R. XV. Siddall Associates, who, with a fine sense of atmosphere, have given us the modern without disturbing the old and, within the comparatively mod- est terms of our budget, have succeeded in designing buildings which complement those we already possessed. Too many planners today wish to sweep away everything in sight before considering anything new, but the fact that one of the hrst considerations of design was the preservation of the fine old tree on the quadrangle is indicative of the care and thought which were exercised in the planning and when, on March 20th., the Lieutenant-Governor officially opened the build- ings by unveiling the Commemorative bronze plaque Citself a gift of the Architectsj, they must, I am sure, have felt the satisfaction which comes from a job well done. Speaking of Old Boys, we congratulate Ted Latour on his success in the Diplomatic Corps: Colin Godfrey on his scholarship at Harvard: John Greenhouse on his Stanford Awardg Anthony Keble on his 5152000 travelling scholarship to Chile, Peru and lvfexicog and Lawrence Devlin on his 555,000 Kellog Foundation Scholarship to the University of Chicago, where, I hope, he will find no evidence of price fixing of fees and the entrance gates already Win situ! Nicholas Etheridge obtained lst Class Honours in History at the University of British Columbia and is going to the University of Aber- deeng lvfartin Petter to Oxford: and such familiar names as hfichael Woollends, Iain Cgle, John Lucie-Smith and many others continue to appear with regularity in the Honours Lists at the Universities. The success of the Old Boys is a matter of the greatest satisfaction and pride, but the true success, or otherwise, of a school lies not so much in the spectacular achievements of the few as in the general performance of the many and, in this respect I think this has been a good year. The School Prefects and the XX Club -- who set the 15
