TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 15 Sermon on the Screen September 12 Did you know that the number of stars in the heavens is equal to approximately ten to the power of twenty-eight? Have you ever seen a caterpillar turn into a butterfly or actually watched a flower grow? Most of us at the School would have had to answer No , to these questions until Mr. Harris of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, showed us a movie called The God of Creation . In this film we saw a few of the more remarkable feats which God per- formed in making the universe. The movie ended on the theme that God promised to forgive our sins if we will only believe in Him and realize that He is the Creator of this remarkable world of ours. We should like to thank Mr. Harris for giving us an hour of entertainment which was both educational and en- joyable. The Unslmg Benefactress Undoubtedly when Penelope Dale invaded the world on June 20 she did not realize that, apart from adding an- other delightful female to civilization, she was also making two hundred T.C.S. boys happy by giving them, before the first rugby game, one of those rare events labelled half- holidays. However, after Mr. Ketchum had announced our re- spite and thanked Mr. Dale, and the latter, blushing as be- fitted a proud papa, had thanked Mr. Ketchum, it was noticed that there had been a very sad omission-not a single person had thanked Penelope, the true benefactress.

14 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD -9 eng Qchool 5 to ...N L. NOTES J- Among the Toilers Come summer, most T.C.S. boys seek employment in one field or another and gain useful knowledge and ex- perience. Last summer when the government asked for boys to act as forest rangers, McDowell, Boulden and Deverall, among others, responded and enjoyed a summer filled with hard work, outdoors, and fun. Also in the out- doors were Rogers and Graham who combined work with seeing the country as caddies at Jasper where they plodded the fairways under western skies. Mr. Hodgett's summer camp supplied work for Hughes, Hyde, Conyers, Payne, McIntyre and Jarvis besides giving them resplendent tans and pleasure galore. We are sure this camp will provide happy summers for more T.C.S. boys in the future. It is hard to say very much concerning Ron Watts' job, for he was at the Port Hope Radium plant and details of his work must remain secret. Out west again we find Tessier and Sweny working in a neon sign company and spending leisure hours brightening Vancouver society. Just as en- joyable a time was had by Cox in Bermuda, where he was a gas station attendant and driving instructor from 11 p.m. until 7 a.m. To many at T.C.S., this might be the first knowledge that there are cars in Bermuda but it's a fact. Equally amazing is the fact that Mike Brodeur, having procured a job as a chartered accountant's apprentice, claims to have spent many enjoyable hours wrestling with columns of figures. Altogether T.C.S. was well represented in the ranks of the employed.

16 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 'llhe Whistler: Dr. Nick-el ' september 25 On this evening, the School was honoured by a visit from one of Hollywood's outstanding individuals, Dr. Nic- kel. A whistler par excellence, Dr. Nickel gave a most memorable performance and the School was amazed at his ability and versatility. Using records or accompanying himself at the piano, Dr. Nickel whistled The Secret , The William Tell Over- ture , I Love You Truly , The Glow Worm , The Indian Love Call and as a finale The Blue Danube . Dr. Nickel accompanied his whistling with informal conversation and a demonstration of some very fine bird calls. At one point he even had the whole audience whist- ling for him. Dr. Nickel concluded by telling us of a les- son in human nature that he learned while in England. The School very much enjoyed Dr. Nickel's visit and especially so since he came in spite of a bad cold. We hope it will not be long before he visits the School again. The New Boys' Picnic On the first Sunday in the term, the Prefects called the news boys together, and pointed out, in a fatherly man- ner, how they were to behave and what their status was. To many, this was a terrifying experience. But to show that the Prefects are human and not demi-gods, the new boys were invited to a picnic to be held on the following Sunday. This year we had a perfect day for the picnic, and after Morning Chapel, we got into old clothes- Oh in what divers colours they came! Then, packed into cars, We set off for the picnic grounds. Many of us, upon arriving, sought peace and quiet after the rush of school life. Others asked about lunch. Some even went swimming. I must not forget those of us
