6 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD to join the cavalry and become famous. But after having had a great vision, St. Francis dedicated his life to God. He surrendered all his worldly posessions and began a. humble and selfless life by helping the sick and returning to many men their self-respect and dignity. St. Francis loved and reverenced all God's creatures which to him were brothers. His alert, gay character and Christian work brought him live thousand followers within ten years. These men became known as the Franciscan Order of Friars. To- day they still follow the ideals and example of St. Francis. Abiding in love of nature, they live a generous and lowly life which is devoted to helping their fellowmen. CHOIR NOTES The very welcome return of many of last year's choris- ters was an immense asset in the re-organizing of the choir in September and their cheerful enthusiasm enabled us to prepare and present special music for the Harvest Thanks- giving Service on October 9. The choir sang a setting of The Nunc Dimittis by Dr. Healy Willan as a tribute to that great Canadian composer who celebrates his birthday on October 123 the service also included the anthem O Come Ye Servants of the Lord. lSampsonJ.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 5 The Head pointed out that life in the small world of the School or the larger worlds outside the School demands action and purpose. We must know what we want and strive to achieve it. Everything may be had if we are willing to pay the price of enthusiasm and interest. Life here or in the World is like a department store, there are those who know what they want and go immediately to it, and those who wander aimlessly and never find what they really desire. Some may get lost, but they will meet a friend who will always give them trusting advice and help them to see the true way of life. Christ is this friend and we need only to seek His advice and help and we will be answered. Dr. Ketchum urged us to be doers, to be friendly and to strive for a high purpose. THE HOUSE OF GOD On Sunday, September 25, Canon Lawrence addressed the School at evening Chapel. His sermon was taken from the Revelation of St. John the Divine 21 :21: And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, every several gate one pearly and the street of the city was pure gold. Canon Lawrence explained that the pearl is a symbol of purity and anything which is impure may not be admitted to the Kingdom of Heaven. He also pointed out that to obtain the pearl one must be Willing to suffer to reach the gate of Heaven. Jesus took the unparalleled risk of coming to earth to live among men, to save us. He died and suffered on the cross so that we should be saved, so that the wicked man may turn from his wickedness and live. ST. FRANCIS' DAY As October 4 was St. Francis Day, the Headmaster in his Chapel address on October 2 related the life and char- acter of this famous and much loved man. Born in Assisi, Italy, about 1182, his first inclination as a young man was

After a short swim in the lake, an appetizing meal of sausages in buns. corn, peaches, grapes and ice cream was enjoyed. While those who had overeaten sat around digesting the feast there was a softball game between the ex-J.S. boys and others, umpired by Dr. Ketchum. The game was a draw and all cooled off with a swim in the lake where the new boys challenged the Prefects to a water fight and won. At four o'clock they returned, water-logged, to the School after an enjoyable day. JAMES HOUSE An additional house has been added to the School owing to the extra enrolment of boys in the Senior School this year. It is in effect the same as Trinity House in that it consists of both Brent and Bethune boys. The house. situ- ated just over the brow of the hill on College Street, was previously owned by Mr. James, a master at the School, and after him. Mr. Molson, also a master who moved to a country home last summer. A new master, an Old Boy, Mr. Gordon, is in charge of the twelve boys there. The house has four
