TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 17 to whom football is the essence of entertainment, for a game was soon under way. Towards the end of lunch, a grand meal of corn-on-the- cob, chicken, and ice cream, there were cries of what now? After much gesticulating and explaining, we decid- ed to play a game called Capture The Flag . It was a case of Brent against Bethune. When we had had enough of this, We played a ball-game, which lasted until it was time to go home. So ended one of the pleasanter days of a New Boy's life. -A New Boy. Scholarships On Thursday, Oct. 16, the School received a half-holi- day in honour of the boys who won scholarships at the end of the last School year. Chief among those who Won the scholarships was J. D. Prentice, who won a Dominion Cadetship to Royal Roads fthe N aval-Air Force Collegel, coming first in the entrance examinations. Other scholar- ships won by T.C.S. boys last year were: the Professor Wm. Jones Scholarship at Trinity College, Toronto, won by T. W. Lawson, the Rev. F. A.

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

Unfortunately there were fewer Old Boys from Montreal than last year because the McGill-Varsity football game did not coincide with the week-end. It was decidedly notice- able that the majority of those who returned were boys who had left within the last few years. On Sunday the great influx began and by evening over a score of Old Boys had already arrived. That evening an informal sing-song was held in front of the School. Most of the Old Boys spent the night in make-shift quarters throughout the School. Surprisingly enough, several of them managed to crawl out to late breakfast the next morning! As it was raining Monday morning, the New Boys' race was postponed for an hour by which time the weather had cleared up. A satisfying Thanksgiving Dinner was followed by the singing of some School songs led by Dickie Butterfield and
