T. F. Summerhayes of Toronto has sent the School a Greek Grammar published in 1793 and once used at Westminster School, London. T.C.S. was affiliated with Westminster School in 1914 and it was then we adopted the old Westminster custom of scrambling for the pancake on Shrove Tuesday. All the notes in the Greek Grammar are in Latin. THE ART CLUB This year the Art Club has got away to a quick start.

10 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD People are turning in larger and larger numbers to this, the most influential Book of all time, they are beginning to see the error of their ways, the evil that is in the best of us, and they are seeking a new way of life everlasting. May we in this Chapel throughout this year read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the Word of God, the word which has turned ordinary men into inspired and noble souls. And I hope many of you will develop the habit of reading at least a few verses every day, in the quietness of your own rooms if possible. When the majority of people recapture the fundamental verities or truths, then there will be real hope for the peace and friendliness of the world. All else is secondary in im- portance. Who will achieve Universal peace ? asked Bernard of Clairvaux, a most infiuential Christian of the Middle Ages. And his answer was the disciplined, the dedicated, the pure in heart and the gentle in Spirit. May we ever be seekers after the truth, seekers of the Kingdom, and in the words of the prayer may God sow the seed of His Word in our hearts that we may bring forth the fruits of the Spirit. There will then be cause for real Thanksgiving. DONATIONS FROM THE CHAPEL FUND The following donations have been made since the last notice: Bolton Camp ................................... ........

12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD room and Museum, together with weekly meetings at some of which films will be shown highlight the year's extensive programme. Apart from the executive, this year's members are: Anstis, Ferrie, Hayes, Lash, Leech, Martin, Moore, Osler, Price, and Trickett. The West Wind, a film depicting the life of Tom Thomson as an artist, was recently shown to the School in the old chapel. This was the Art Club's undertaking, and it was a great success. In a most unique and appealing manner the great painter's life was describedg the colours were striking, and a large number of Thomson's paintings were shown. One was able to get a good idea of the life he led and of the extremely beautiful country in which he painted his greatest canvases. The School is deeply indebted to the Art Club and their Director, Mr. Key, for making the showing of the film possible. THE NEW BOYS' PICNIC Because of the warm weather this fall, it was decided to hold the New Boys' Picnic on a beach by the lake. The location turned out to be excellent, and everyone enjoyed a. swim soon after arriving. Before dinner there was a game of touch football which whetted everyone's appetite for the meal of corn and sausages, cooked to perfection by the Head- master and Mr. Dening. In the afternoon there was a baseball game between the rival Houses, from which Brent emerged the victor despite a driving home run for Bethune by the Head. Another swim brought the day to a close, and every- one agreed that in location, and in the enjoyment had by all, this picnic had a definite edge over any one in former years. Many thanks are due to the Masters, boys, and all concerned for making the outing such an outstanding success.
