16 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD In August there was an article in a Toronto paper about the flight to Iceland made by a transport, and attention was drawn to the two T.C.S. representatives, Eric Jackman and Mr. Robertson-Fortay. They had a most interesting adven- ture there exploring the ice cap and Mount Hekla, an active volcano, with the British Public Schools' Exploration Society. The T.C.S. Hockey Team has been invited to participate in the Lawrenceville School Annual Invitation Hockey Tournament in the Baker Rink at Princeton University next January. There will be eight schools competing, And- over, Belmont Hill, Exeter, Lawrenceville, Nichols, Noble and Greenough, Deerfield and Trinity College School, and the games will be played from January lst to 3rd, 1953. Last year the tournament was an excellent one, the 'finalists being Noble and Greenough and Belmont Hill, with the latter school winning out. We feel it is a distinct honour to be in- 'vited to take part in this unique tournament in such a lovely setting. GOLDEN WEDDING AN NIVERSARIES The School sends its most sincere congratulations to Lt.-Colonel and Mrs. J. Ewart Osborne of Toronto who celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary on October 1st, and to Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Tucker of Bermuda who cele- brated their fiftieth wedding anniversary in July. Colonel Osborne was at T.C.S. from 1892 to 1895 and he has been a Governor for many years, Dr. Tucker was at T.C.S. from 1887 to 1891 and he has long been one of the leading citi- zens of Bermuda. l Mr. Jutice R. M. Dennistoun and Mrs. Dennistoun of Winnipeg marked their sixtieth wedding anniversary on September 5th. Unfortunately Judge Dennistoun was in hospital at the time, but they received congratulations from

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 15 The weather at the beginning of term was the hottest and most humid most of us ever remember in September. During the summer the tennis courts were resurfaced and the Ewart Osborne court was almost entirely rebuilt. Boys are again occupying the overflow quarters in the Lodge and the Hospitalg there are 261 boys in the School this year. Fifty-one boys are sons, grandsons, or great grandsons of Old Boys. New refrigeration equipment has been installed in the kitchens. The first wedding in the Memorial Chapel took place on August 23 when Miss Mary McDerment, daughter of the School Doctor and Mrs. McDerment, was married to Gordon Payne C40-'47J. Everyone agreed that it was a beautiful setting for a wedding and the floral decorations were arrang- ed most attractively. As the couple were leaving the Chapel, all the School bells were pealed, the Chapel bell, the Tower bell and the Junior School bell. Mr. and Mrs. Parkins have left to return to British Columbia and Mrs. Roche is now in charge of the Tuckg she has already made herself popular with the boys by her kindly interest in them. The town is planning to annex all the property from the present eastern boundary at the park to Gage's Creek and north to the Old Canadian Northern tracks. It is ex- pected that a number of factories will be built south of the C.P.R. tracks and the rest of the land will be eventually used for a housing development. It will not enhance the beauty of the countryside near the School.
