Franklin Forrest has retired. According to Dr. Forrest himself, who talked to us by the cheerful fire in his cottage at Bewdley, he never was formally appointed as the medical officer to T.C.S. Mr. Symonds, who was Dr. Rigby's predecessor, asked him to come up and he just Went on coming up. That puts the

4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD School News THE CHAPEL On Sunday, September the 20th, Archbishop de Pencier of New Westminster gave an address in which he likened our lives to a house, saying we must have a nrm foundation, straight Walls, clean windows, a door which must be well used, and most of all a perfect roof, re- sembling Faith, Hope, and Charity. Following each item he asked the congregation to repeat it after him. He finished with a rhyme Well worth remembering. Never tell a lie, Never say die. Never stick your finger In another buddie's pie. On Sunday, Sept. 27th., the School went down to St. Mark's Church to join in the Harvest service. The speaker, the Bishop of Caledonia, stressed the need of help in the Diocese of Caledonia. The church was very prettily dec- orated to suit the occasion. .i...

6 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD beginning of the connection somewhere in 1903, and the Doctor's cheery smile has been familiar to generations of T.C.S. boys ever since. So have his pink pills suggested his daughter irreverentlyg but that is another story. In the old buildings, there was a sick corridor with about five rooms and a dispensary, the nurse at the time of Dr. Forrest's arrival being Miss Saunders. The hospital existed, in a much smaller form, but was not used unless the inside accommodation overflowed. They managed to handle everything that came along, including epidemics, pretty well with this equipment. The worst time the Doctor remembers was the outbreak of scarlet fever in Dr. Rigby's time. Nevertheless, it was naturally a great satisfaction to him to be able, with the generous aid of Dr. Jukes Johnson and Mrs. H. Paterson to re-model the hospital and arrange its present layout of self-contained units, wards, kitchens and nurses' quarters. There have been many boys who have owed their lives to Dr. Forrest's swift diagnosis and patient, untiring skill in treatment. You have to talk to Mrs. Forrest, though, to get to know anything about that. The Doctor just shakes his head and mutters: All nonsense. We had a lot of good luck! Dr. Forrest never confined his interest in T.C.S. to the patients who needed him professionally. He has joined in our activities, in spite of his busy practice, and has been a familiar figure at various gatherings. Especially has he been always keenly interested in the football and other games. He recalls the great days of Pete Campbell, Jack Maynard, Harry Symons and many another stalwart of the days when champion teams were frequent. Few old- timers were more delighted at being able to watch the game that terrific day in Varsity Stadium two years ago when the championship was wrested from Ridley after such a long sojourn in the wilderness.
