TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 17 Smnmer Jobs This year, owing to the large number of returned sol- diers, summer jobs were not as plentiful as in previous years. In spite of this, many boys from the School did work and earned not only good wages but also valuable experience. A large number of these worked on farms, a very necessary job at any time but especially so this year, and they have the satisfaction of knowing that they have contributed to one of the largest harvests in Canada's his- tory. Several boys worked in summer resorts in all parts from the Atlantic coast to the Rockies. Summer camps give the young boys of Canada a splendid chance to spend part of their smnmer in the open air, and many boys from the School worked as counsellors-in-training in these camps. Among the most interesting jobs were those of Carson, who went on a month long oil prospecting trip in Northern Alberta, and McIntyre who was a stoker on a lake tanker, while McDowell i drove cars from Toronto to Timmins, and Cox i worked as a stevedore in Bermuda. From these few illustrations it is easy to see what interest- ing, useful and varied jobs were done by the boys of the School last summer. The New Tennis Court On Sunday, September 16, immediately after the morning Chapel service, the Schoo1's new hard tennis court was opened by Peter Pangman, the son of the donor, when he hit the first ball over the net to last year's champion, Brewer. This court is a great asset to the School, en- abling many more boys to play, as the two existing courts have been found insufficient for the large number of those who wished to use them. We are extremely indebted to Mrs. J. B. Pangman of Montreal for her very generous and much needed gift.

18 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD New Boys' Picnic On Sunday, September fifteenth, immediately after the official opening of the new tennis court, about seventy boys, sixty-four of them new boys fplus the House Pre- fectsl were packed into cars and bounced to a very de- lightful spot near the ski camp. There, while the Head- master with the able assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Bagley, Mr. Knight, and Mr. Lewis, was preparing a sumptuous repast, the boys divided according to houses and played a. very spirited if not exactly skilful game of softball. After lunch it had been planned to continue the games, but this suggestion was voted down, and for two hours comparative silence reigned, broken only by the low voices of groups of boys sprawled under shady trees. Others scattered through the woods and along the river. This year's picnic will be remembered for the near disaster to Mr. Knight when he caught on fire while frying sausages in his special way. Many thanks are due to Mr. and Mrs. Ketchum and their assistants for a very enjoyable day. New Boys' Race The annual New Boys' race, part of the competition for the Magee Cup, was won by Wood i, followed closely by Cox ii and Austin. The da.y was dull, the fields muddy and the directions poorly given and taking all things into consideration, the time of nine minutes and ten seconds was very good. The following were the first eleven to cross the line in the order in which they finished: Points 1. Wood i .,...... ............ O ver age 2. Cox ii ...........,... .......... 1 0 3.
