TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 13 EDWIN NASH The School extends its best wishes to Edwin Nash, a familiar figure around the buildings and grounds, who is re- turning to England for the first time since the beginning of World War Two. Edwin sails from Quebec on November 15 aboard the Cunard liner Samaria. From Southampton, where the ship docks, he will travel to Hampshire to visit his brother, Herbert Nash of Chilworth, and his two sisters, Misses Catherine and Edith Nash, both of Foyle. He will be in Eng- land for twenty-nine days and away from the School for six weeks. Edwin has been at T.C.S. for thirty-two years. He originally came to this country in 1920 from England, and worked tmder Dr. Orchard. Later he was made superin- tendent and has kept that position to the present day. ' LIBRARY NOTES Since the last issue of these notes appeared in the Record we have received further useful donations of books to the Library, and we acknowledge these gifts with pleasure and thanks. Mr. C. M. A. Strathy presented, through the Toronto branch of the Ladies' Guild, a useful and varied collection of 40 books, Mrs. E. A. Hethrington's previous donation was used to buy a complete Wordsworth, the Canadian Oxford Atlas, and the latest volume fvil of the Oxford Junior Encyclopaedia, bringing to a total of 42 the number of reference books bought with this and Miss N. S. Heth- rington's donation. Our reference section is now very well equipped and in constant use. Dr. Graham Ross has again helped us most generously. Other donations of books have come from the follow- ing: Miss Braucht-The Mind in the Making fRobinsonJ.

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.

Looking over the Stack Room records for the past three years we find that an average of one new or replacement book has been added to the Library every two days over the school year and our shelf capacity is becoming limited. The proposed new Library which will occupy the Old Chapel below the Dining Hall will bring relief from this problem of space, and it is understood that very definite plans are now being laid for this new Library. It is gratifying to observe the steadily increasing in- terest shown by the School in reading and use of the Library. Apart from the density of traffic in the Reading Room the records show an increase of 56 percent in the number of books borrowed during the first month of this term. In view of the number of applicants for posts as Librarians the number of these taken on strength this year has been doubled. We now have two very efficient teams of four, working alternate weeks, each team headed by a Senior Librarian. We are sorry to have had to dis- appoint some applicants and hope that they may be taken on another year. Early in July the Headmaster and Mrs. Ketchum visited the Archbishop of Moosonee and Mrs. Renison, travelling with them to Moose Factory. The Headmaster spoke in St. Thomas' Church at a service largely attended by Indians.
