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.

We were very fortunate this year in that many of the Old Boys from Montreal Who would otherwise have been unable to be at the School for the Old Boys' week-end, were in Toronto for the McGill - Varsity football game, and were thus able to stop over at Port Hope on the way home. Festivities were officially started Sunday night, when a bonfire and singsong was held, at which Tom Wade and his accordian as in days of old, were very prominent. Mon-
