SCHOOL NOTES For many years these Notes have begun with figures showing an enrolment increased over the previous year. However, this time the combination of an unavoidable increase in fees, together with intensive competition. caused a temporary reversal which already, at this time of writing. is being overcome, and the numbers are moving up again. The big event of the past year has been the building of the Barker Library. This was opened officially on June 4th, by Dr. English fthe wording of the commemoration bronze plaque will be found in the Library Notes 7. Provision has been made for twenty-four study carrels wherein sixth-formers may work unsupervised and hence learn to bridge the gap between the close supervision of School and the complete freedom of College. This magnificent gift by Mr. and lNiIrs. Barker will give the greatest satisfaction to those many Old Boys who were at School with one or other of the Hve brothers, and will undoubtedly prove of inestimable value to many generations yet to come. Already it is in use at every spare moment, and there is never a break of free time when the Library is empty. We need, of course, many more books for its shelves. These will hold eight thousand volumes, and the Archi- tects have made provision for possible future extension. Please re- member this, and help whenever feasible. Wlith fourteen of last year's lst. XV graduating and the fifteenth remaining in Alberta, the outlook for Rugger seemed bleak indeed and the loss of the opening games not unexpected, but we won both our games at St. Georges and the return match with Shawnigan, which was a considerable triumph both for the Team, led by Colin Dykes, and its Coach, Mr. Osborn. A similar situation faced most of the other group activities - Tennis being a notable exception - and the results achieved, therefore, were far better than we had any right to expect. Much of the credit for this must go to Mr. Arscott, who, to our regret, has returned to England to be married and to teach in his native Dorset. We wish him and his bride every happiness and success. The Matriculation results were again very good indeed. All fifteen XYinslow House candidates were successful, and twenty-three out of a possible twenty-eight complete certificates were obtained, with a satis- factory number of high performances registered in individual papers. Other events of the school year are recorded elsewhere in the maga- zine. Sufficient be it here to observe that the customary activities, the School dances, the special services in the School Chapel, the Christmas Dinner, the ski-ing trips, etc., were all maintained to the great satisfac- tion of those concerned, and that the School was honoured by many distinguished visitors, some of whom-such as Professors from the L'niversity of Yictoria-gave most interesting evening talks in the Assembly Hall on the subjects in their particular fields, such as '4Prob- lems of Central America and :'Astronomy, to name but two. Our closeness to the L'niversity is proving an ever-increasing asset to the School. Finally, it has been a building year wherein we started with ap- parently little and achieved much. H NI 8
