TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD broke all three bats and the Headmaster almost disabled the Trinity pitcher. A good time was had by all and the boys are grateful to all masters who helped make this outing a success. THE FRENCH CLUB Either the French plays have bred interest, or the language has suddenly become popular, but whatever the reason the number of members of the French club has risen considerably this year. Already three meetings and a movie- night have been held and Mr. Bishop, as head of the group, reports that more movies are on the way. Because of popular request, it is hoped that the club will be able to produce another play this Christmas although there are several dif- iiculties entailed, not. the least of which is finding a suitable piece. Three ofiicers were elected at the first Friday night meeting. Edo ten Broek, who has played leading roles in both French plays, has been elected President, while T. R. Carsley and P. M. Kilburn have been elected Vice-Presi- dent and Secretary respectively. With the recent show of interest, the Club should see a successful year and all the members want to thank Mr. Bishop for his guidance and activity. THE DEBATING CLUB On October 8, the Senior Debating Society adjourned for a pre-season meeting, to elect a committee for the coming year. A total of approximately forty members were present at this election-a fair indication of the increase in popularity shown towards debating in the last few years. This year, the Executive consists of P. F. Saegert as Presi- dent, with H. M. Scott and T. R. Carsley as Vice-President and Secretary respectively. The agenda will again include mainly pepper-pots, impromptu speeches, debating, and practice in proper parliamentary procedure. It is hoped that

Records were given to members of the Choir on Speech Day and they have been much appreciated.

NEW BOYS' PICNIC Contrary to the custom of previous years, the New Boys' Picnic was held on the first Sunday of term. The site chosen for the outing was Willow Beach.

After the meal a game of baseball was organized, Trinity taking on Brent and Bethune combined. I am sorry to report that Trinity won, even though Brent and Bethune
