TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 13 Many Old Boys are ordering the tieg they may be obtained from the Old Boys' office at a cost of 33.25 each. l -i..T..--i1-- NEW BURSARY Five Old Boys who wish to remain anonymous have made generous contributions to a Bursary for the son of an Old Boy who gave his life in the Second World War. 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.

12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club began another season on Sunday, October 2, when over forty boys attended the opening meet- ing. A vote was taken and the following were elected to the executive: President, Michael Meigheng Vice-President, Mac Campbell, and Secretary, Dave Dunlap. Regular meetings are not scheduled to begin until after the football season, but preparations were begun for the opening debate at Ridley on November 18. The club will again be under the excellent guidance of Mr. Dale and it is hoped that this year T.C.S. will become undisputed holders of the Fulford Trophy. FRENCH CLUB The opening meeting of the French Club was held on Friday, September 23. The first business was the holding of an election. 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.

Only nineteen first class honours were obtained by the twelve boys, ten of them by Scott and ten Broek. VI B did not fare so well, as was expected.

One boy who had been urged to take his Upper School in two years failed every paper except two. He still has to take two years over
