There he worked among the natives for 20 years building up the Christian Church and developing Anglican education centres. In his Chapel address the Bishop told us about the work of the Anglican Church there in the last few years. The natives, he said, were very eager to become real scholars and some had become fully ordained Anglican Priests. He pointed out that the Whites and the Blacks in the Gold Coast area were very co-operative, unlike some other parts of Africa, partly due to the Work of the Church. The Bishop made clear that there always was a need in Africa for Christian Workers, other than the clergy, like doctors and teachers. Referring to the situation in South Africa and

2 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD year. You do certain jobs around the School or fag for a Senior Boy. You help him in that way to do the job which he merits because of his past record. In so doing you also acquire a more intimate understanding of the activities and spirit of the School. Your primary purpose in being here is, of course, to learn something, and therefore your school work should take precedence over everything else: it must come first. Though your work in the classroom and during study hours is your most important occupation, it should not be the only one. The School offers you a wide variety of activities, and you are expected to take part in the ones which interest you. Try to learn a sport and play on one of the teams. There you can learn to follow the rules of fair play and practice some real team Work. That is im- portant not only in sports, but in everyday life as well. Whenever you do something, always do it wtih determined initiative and good-will. I hope that you will soon learn that the more you put into the School, the more you give of your best, by that much will you gain not only in enjoyment and pleasure but also in acquiring a certain inner atmosphere. Help us to take good care of the School. Others have used it Wellg now it is our home, and we want to pass it on to our followers in good condition for their enjoyment. You must co-operate in helping us to uphold the reputation and honour of our School by living a clean, honest and useful life. Use rightly the advantages T.C.S. has to offer, and in so doing help us to maintain and even elevate its high standard as a great Canadian School. -N.S.

4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD comparing it with Gambia, the Bishop illustrated his point for the need of greater co-operation between the white and black people on a piano keyboard. Tunes can be played on the black keys and also on the white, he said, but for the fullest harmony and richest result both must be played to- gether. The following day he showed the Sixth Form many interesting slides on his new diocese of Korea to which he has been recently appointed to succeed Bishop Cooper. This new work will present many diiiiculties and require much courage and we wish the Bishop every blessing. THE PRICE OF SUCCESS On Sunday, September 18, Dr. Ketchum spoke to the School in evening Chapel. He told us how this day had been set aside to commemorate the Battle of Britain and the pilots who had fought in this decisive battle of the few against the many. He told us how the English spirit had rallied and withstood the terrific bombarding of London. The R.A.F., through personal sacrifice, endurance and courage, had won against staggering odds to save England and probably the West from domination and dictatorship. He said that at the begining of a new School year we should think of these fighter pilots and the purpose of their sacrifice achieved by teamwork. We are undertaking some- thing new and probably think three things: Can I do it? What will people think of me? and Will I like it? The Headmaster told us that we can do anything if we have confidence and simple faith in ourselves. As to the second question of what other people will think of us, he explained that the answer to this is tied up in our character. If we try to be sincere and friendly towards other people they can't help but like us. The answer to the third question of whether we will like it depends on the answers of the first two, for if we are able to do something and other people like us we are sure to like what we are undertaking.
