CRet'd.j SCHOOL NOTES Since, as things have turned out, this is to be both my first and last year at University School it would be inappropriate to make these notes very lengthy. We have had, I think, a good year which I and I hope other members of the School community have enjoyed. A very fit and never-say-die First Fifteen gave an excellent account of themselves beating Royal Roads, the Victoria All-Star High School Team and various other clubs. Even in defeat-and we had some sound drubbings -I was proud of the team. We did a lot of work on Saturdays both on the grounds and on interior decorating schemes. With a large assist from the University of Victoria we produced a very good comedy. We put on some good displays for uOld Boys and parents. We even had a choir and a hockey team. It was a c'do-it- yourselfl' year and those who played an active part in making a success of various projects may well take some satisfaction in what they have accomplished. I make no attempt to enumerate here all our activities. There are accounts of them in these pages. I am writing these notes, of course, before the year has ended and I shall have an opportunity on Speech Day of thanking all of you who have helped both my wife and myself feel that this was our school as well as yours. I shall, however, express our gratitude here in print. A Headmaster's job is made possible by those with whom and for whom he is working. I am grateful to Staff, Boys, University School Auxiliary, Old Boys- and many others for making my job this year one I shall remember with pleasure. Good luck to you all. R.L.G. 7
