TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 7 X i 2,4 - r-w 2. lv' ef Sr- 53 li A THE NEW BOYS' PICNIC It was a beautiful sunny warm day on September 18 as the new boys piled into a bus and various cars and went to Wesleyville Beach for the annual picnic.Q Ten miles west of Port Hope the bus rolled to a grinding stop and there was a scramble to get out. 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

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.

8 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sitting room, plus Mr. and Mrs. Gordon's living quarters. Two of. the bedrooms have wall to wall carpets, and all the rooms are wallpapered. There is a swimming pool in the grounds which may be used, weather permitting. There is also an overgrown lawn4tennis court which the boys use as a playing field. The boys eat all their meals at School and are allowed to ride their bikes to and from James House. . i NEW ATHLETIC POLICY This year the School has changed its athletic policy for the autumn term. All boys in the first half of the fall term will now play one sport, football. Previously we attempted to have three soccer teams as well as three football teams. As usual there are Littleside, Middleside and Bigside divi- sions. Boys not playing on these teams are divided into two inter-school leagues according to age and size. There are a number of teams in the league and each will play games three times a week with one day for further practice. Equip- ment may be rented from the School. Every boy in this way will get a chance to play on a team in an organized sport with a fair amount of intensiy. It is hoped that the new program will cut down the confusion of playing two autumn sports at the same time when each demands a large number of boys to field proficient teams. Soccer will come into its own after the half term break. lLl...1-1-1-1--- TRINITY CAMP, AUGUST 1955 On Monday, the first of August, eight boys from Toronto and two from Montreal descended upon us to begin two invigorating weeks at the ski camp. We were immediately swamped by requests to ride the ponies, which should have been exported to the Calgary stampede. They refused to be mounted, and when a rider did manage to carry out this difficult feat, the pony would usually head for the nearest
