A vote was taken and the following were elected to the executive: President, Michael Meigheng Vice-President, Mac Campbell, and Secretary, Dave Dunlap.

The results were as follows: President, Michael Meigheng Secretary, Mac Campbell. Once again under the capable leadership of Mr. Bishop and with a large and enthusiastic membership coupled with a revised programme, an excellent season is expected. i THEM.P.ANDS.TlE A new tie has been introduced into the School which is limited to the use of Masters, Prefects and Scholars iboys with averages of 75 per cent up in term workl. The background is deep maroon. The design features part of the School crest, a crossed key and bishop's crook in silver, surmounted by a St. Edward's crown in gold. This small design is repeated over the whole tie. This type of design is similar to that of the ties used by clubs and colleges in England. It is completely new for our School, as all ties were composed of stripes up to this time.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 11 for meals. Movie leave was granted on a couple of nights and the group had their own movies and cameras. On Sunday, the players attended the churches in Port Hope. Besides the normal equipment used by a football team, the Argos brought two rubbing tables, a diathermy ma- chine, seven-man sleds, two-man bucking machines, blocking dummies, Gilman pads, three movie projectors and screens, and last but not least, 32 footballs. For the players there were 1,000 yards of tape and 1,000 yards of electrician's tape for ankles. The laundry in Port Hope was extremely busy, with 350 towels a day as well as 125 practise shirts, 25 T-shirts and 125 pairs of socks. For the oversized players, 15 large beds were rented as well as larger desks for the classes. The Argos were here in the middle of the heat wave and so were often practising in 90-degree heat. The cooler from the Tuck Shop was brought over to the basement of Bethune and 48 cases of 7-Up were supplied for the players to drink. No outsiders were allowed on the grounds. but the townspeople were allowed to watch from the Tuck Shop. The players left on August 7, after what they termed a very enjoyable stay and many hoped that the team would come back next year.

Elec- tions were held and the following were the results: Presi- dent, Michael Meigheng Vice-president, Dave Ross: Secre- tary, Bill Noble, Treasurer, Trevor Ham, and Committee Member, Jerry Spivak.

THE AIR CADET CORPS TRIUIVIPH At the beginning of term it was announced from Ottawa that No. 398 Trinity College School Air Cadet Squadron had been judged the most proficient in all Canada and had been awarded the Air Force Association Trophy. Never had the Cadet Corps won this trophy since we became an Air Cadet Corps and the announcement gave much satisfaction to boys and Old Boys. In 1936, our Army Cadet Corps was affiliated with the Air Force, the nrst School Corps in the Commonwealth to be linked to the Flying Service. Ten years later we became an Air Cadet Corps with certain privileges because of the pioneer nature of the Corps. The trophy which the Corps has just won is given to the unit judged to be the most proficient in drill, Air Cadet Studies such as Map Reading, Airmanship, Meteorology, Signals, Navigation, Radio, Photography, etc., in the Band, in Shooting, Physical Training, Efficiency of OEicers, Records, etc. The T.C.S. Corps scored 1,988 points out of 2,000. There are some 269 Air Cadet Corps in Canada. The School celebrated the occasion by a half holiday on September 27 and the Headmaster mentioned the leading part played in the direction of last year's Cadet Corps by Squadron Leader Batt, E.D., Flight Lieutenant Armstrong, A.F.C., C.D. and the Senior Officers, Osler, Donald, Massey, Ketchum, Burns, Young.
