Editorial at la Nash june Ist., 1969 Ever and anon Cbut not since 19545 The Editorial Muse has refused, as now, to play the metrical bore, And has taken her hair down, and become brighter and breezier, And cast off the corsets of convention and slipped on something looser and easier. For is not the month June? And the School Fields echo to the tune Cf the oilicial click of cricket ball on bat Qnot to mention the unofficial clunk of baseball in mittj , And to go with it The plonk of tennis ball on strings, And other such melodious things. We are care-free creatures of the sun, With little to worry one Save, on the horizon, a little cloud, no bigger than a man's hand, Which signifies the approach of 'S.S.S.G.' for the matricular band. For the rest? - just turn the pages And you will read of the School Year through all its stages, From the academic and athletic exploits of Jones Major land what could be finer?j To the more trivial attempts of Jones Minor. And next year, as of old, Our Muse will return to the metrical fold, With merely the passing thought, to impede her, That, as usual, no one will ever read her. C.F.G.

CRet'd.J SCHOOL NOTES The enrolment this year has been 120 boarders and 78 day boys. We just missed topping the 200, but it seems obvious that we are now on the way back towards the record numbers of five years ago. Like all schools, although to a far less extent than most, we have experienced some disappointments. When taken into the context of the whole year, however, these have been small indeed, and had to be expected. The year, in fact, has been a good one. In Rugger, our principal activity, the lst. XV was most unfortunate to receive so little reward for its efforts. In no match was it badly beaten, and indeed in most of them it had, in fact, the major share of the play. The team was young and many of the members will be back next year, so that future pros- pects are bright. Then again, snow at Christmas put the Swimming Pool out of action for a whole term, but it is now in full use once more. Perhaps the most exciting of this year's activities has been the enor- mous interest taken in Sailing. In the Summer Term one third of the school sailed at least twice a week, and every day more than 30 boys were on the water. This was due almost solely to the enthusiasm and efiorts of Mr. Wood, who has now established Sailing as an integral part of the school's outdoor programme. Cricket, too, has been up again. As a voluntary sport it ranked sec- ond only to Sailing, while the other activities - Track and Field, Vol- leyball, Shooting, Tennis - all had their devotees. Indeed the summer term was one of the most pleasant for years, and, while the Matric. results are not at this stage known, the general impression is that there was less gloom and despondency during the exams. than is customary on the occasion. Through Professor Roy of the University of Victoria we were en- abled to enjoy a number of outside lecturers visiting Uvic and coming to the school as well. It would obviously be invidious to compare these lecturers, as their subjects were so different, but those given by Dr. Wood CTlze Population Explosionl and Mr. Butler, former High 7
