q TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD mained for seven years from 1925-1932. Elected Bishop of Niagara in 1932 he served the Diocese with great distinction until 1949 when he retired. During his ministry he was Chairman of the Committee which founded the Canadian Council of Churches, Chairman of the Canadian Delegation to Conferences in England and Scotland on Faith and Order, and Life and Work; Trinity College and Wycliffe College conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity and McMaster University honoured him with the degree of Doctor of Laws. Bishop Broughall was a lovable man who understood men and touched easily one ' s most responsive chords ; therein perhaps lay his unprecedented success as a Parish Priest and Bishop. We remember him so clearly on his visits to T.C.S., how well he spoke to the Confirmation candidates, and with what depth of devotion he celebrated the first Service of Holy Communion in our Memorial Chapel. He gave his own personal silver Communion vessels to the School and we use them in his memory; now his son has given to the Chapel all his stoles and they will be a constant reminder of him. His life and his work will go on, generation by generation, and our love and admiration of him will never grow dim. W. G. BRADEN Bill Braden ' s death on Sunday, August 31, came like a bolt from the blue; he was the innocent victim of an unprecedented accident in a power boat race. For many years Bill had excelled as a racer of motor boats; in 1939 he won a World ' s Championship at the Canadian National Exhibition and from then on he made records year after year. At Picton he raced his boat at 154 miles an hour establishing a new Canadian record. On the day of his fatal accident Bill was driving Miss Supertest II on Fairy Lake near Huntsville in a race for the Duke of York ' s Cup; another boat skidded on a turn and crashed over Bill ' s boat. W. G. Braden came to T.C.S. in 1929 and left in 1933. He was a bright spark in any group and the dull hours were few when Bill was about. A good athlete, he played on the hockey team and the second football team, but as he left before his Sixth Form year some opportunities at T.C.S. were lost to him. He entered McMaster University and later McGill. On the outbreak of war he enlisted in the Army and was posted overseas in November, 1941 with the R.C.E.M.E. He served in England, France, Belgium and Holland and was promoted to the rank of Major. Returning to Hamilton he joined the Hamilton Street Railway Company and became Assistant General Manager and Vice President of the Canada Coach Lines. He was also Vice President of the Sarnia Transit Company. Bill was always ready to help any worthwhile cause and he was a most loyal Old Boy being President of the Hamilton Branch of the O.B.A. He had been Chairman of the Board of Hillfield School, and he liked

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD W. G. BRADEN (1929- ' 33) to have young people around him. In recent years we had seen much of him for he often visited the School with his charming family to see his son, John. The memory of Bill Braden will never grow dim. T. M. MAGLADERY When a young person dies suddenly one in- stinctively feels a sense of confusion; the shock is mingled with rebellion against blind fate, against a life in which we seem to be ' ' like flies to wanton boys, they kill us for their sport . On calmer re- flection we know that there is an order, a har- ony, a rhythm to all life, that we cannot as mortals understand anything but the appearance of it, and that it is reasonable to assume that where there is obvious order there must be underlying prin- ciple and direction. God moves in a mysterious way — His will be done. The other life is the whole, of which this life is only a part. Tom Magladery was found dead at his summer cottage on Sunday, September 7; he had stayed after the family left in order to do some reading.
