TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3 Uhr Qllizuirl Our temporary Chapel at Woodstock has been'really adequate for our needs and the Altar frontals, Cross, flower vases, silver vessels and linen saved from the fire have helped to make our ser- vices reminiscent of the beautiful chapel we have lost. The Archbishop of Huron very kindly held a confirmation service on May the 13th. and confirmed the following boys of the Senior School. Peter Lumby Cleveland Paul Brooks Pitcher Lonsdale Cowperthwaite David Graeme Price Louis John Hudson John Clerendon Worrell Richard Delmare McCloskey Gordon Kenneth Wray The Archbishop gave an admirable address on Truth, Courage, Self-Control. The offertory of S14 was sent lin accordance with the custom of the Diocese of Huron to the Church Extension Society. The singing was very good, but we missed the Junior School. They had their confirmation service the evening before, when 23 of their number were confirmed. A notice of this appears elsewhere. On Trinity Sunday we held our memorial service both at Wood- stock and at Port Hope. The Honour Roll was read and the hymns consecrated to the occasion by use were extremely well sung. The Headmaster received a very delightful letter from the War- den of Trinity College, Glenalmond, Scotland, a school of similar aims and age to ours, sending sympathy in our great trial and a very generous offering of 8 pounds 10 shillings made by his boys in their Chapel on the last Sunday of their term, and asking us to de- vote it to some gift to our new Chapel. We are very deeply grateful. . Our hearty thanks are due to Miss Bethune for making a new dossal for the back of the altar. The offertories at Woodstock for the term amount to S120.69.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 5 This joy of brain and eye and touch but trash, Bury me not, I pray thee, In the dark earth where comes not any ray Of light or warmth or aught that made life dear, But take my whitened bones far, far away Out of the hum and turmoil of the town, Find me a wind-swept boulder for bier And on it lay me down, Where far beneath drops sheer the rocky ridge Down to the gloomy valley, and the streams Fall foaming white against black beetling rocks, Where the sun's kindly radiance seldom gleams, Where some tall peak, defiant, steadfast rocks The passing gods: and all the ways of men Forgotten. I Even in that death that comes to everything The swiftly silent swish of hurrying snow: The lash of rain: the savage bellowing Of stagsg the bitter keen-knife-edge embrace Of the rushing wind: and still the tremulous dawn Will touch the eyeless sockets of my faceg And I shall see the sunset and anon Shall know the velvet kindness of the night And see the stars. -Mashie The above is borrowed from the Glasgow University Magazine of June 1927, contributed by Hugh Barrie, M.A., Mashie, a stud- ent of the University, who is now our 'mute inglorious Mi1ton'. The verses form a strangely impressive coincidence, for in January of this year, Barrie and a friend, Thomas Baird, geology demon- strator in the University, set out on an ill-starred expedition to the Wild Cairngorms, Inverness-shire, and were never seen alive again. TYRINIT. THE KNIGHT Many years ago, a certain young knight, by name Sir Tyrinit, did set out into the world in search of honor and fame. In his train there followed but a few trusty servitors, younger even than he, who also desired glory under arms. The fame of this young Sir Tyrinit soon became noised abroad to such an extent that many of all sorts and degrees clarnored for admission to his band. Sev-
