TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 9 form lists'grim things-and injunctions to go easy on the suit- cleaning.y By this time I felt that my brain needed rest, so I tottered to my room and lay down for a little while. Just one word describes my first and real impressione-bewild- erment. Everyone Went round with a dazed sort of what-have- we-here? expression. But after a few hours of contemplation, I came to the conclusion that everybody was O.K., that things were much better than last year lironical cries of No, no! Impossible! 3 and that, taking all things into consideration, we are in for a very pleasant year. -Q.U.I.

S TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD the Record with a copy of these verses, with permission to print them. There was an Archdeacon who lived in Quebec, Who his body in apron and gaiters did deck, And all the good women who saw the Divine, Exclaimed that his legs were remarkably fine. So, finding at last where his beauty .spot lay, This vain old Archdeacon, I'm sorry to say, To show off his gaiters and hear what was said, Would stop in his sermons, and stand on his head! -F. J. Scott FIRST IMPRESSIONS : September, 1933. On driving up to the School on September 15th., 1933, in one of Mr. Lingerry'sa sumptuous limousines, the first thing I noticed was a horde of beings in front of Trinity House. On second sight, I saw that they were the youngsters of the Junior School, now quartered in Trinity House. Partially recovering from the shock, the next impression I received was that one of the Bros. Lingerry was systematically going through my pockets in search of his legal fare. Satisfying his cupidity, I hastened in search of my grip, or suitcase, which had somehow come up from the staton in a taxi of a rival firm, the Bros. Sherrard. I found it in the midst of the Junior School, who were gazing at it hungrily Cqueer how highly developed is the sense of smell of these lower forms of lifel and looked as if they were about to tear it open. Seizing it I plunged into Bethune House, after exchanging a word with Chad and the Greaser. I found that Mr. Speechard had most considerately given me the room that I had the year before. Throwing off my coat, hat, lethargy, etc., I hastened in search of the wild rumours that were permeating Canada, such as: getting up at 6.15, 17 new masters, with ages reported to range from 15 to 75, lights out at a main switch to prevent radios, five new boys in the Senior School, 43 boys in toto, etc., etc. The first thing I found was that the whole place was rank with new boys. There seemed to be hundreds of them, tripping over one's feet, getting in one's hair, running about like Wild rabbits. The whole air was filled with their musty odour. The next was that every notice-board seemed to have endless lists of neatly typed rules, each list looking bleaker than its pre- clecessor. fOn second reading they turned out to be laundry lists,
