TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 11 THE PRESENTATION TO THE HEADMASTER AND MRS. KETCHUM At the Annual General Meeting on October 25, the Headmaster and Mrs. Ketchum were presented with a new Stereophonic combination radio-phonograph, a gift of the Old Boys of the School. The presentation was made by A. R. Winnett, President of the Old Boys ' Association. In his remarks to Dr. and Mrs. Ketchum and the meeting, Mr. Winnett mentioned that various segments of the T.C.S. family had done honour to the achievements of this fine couple and said that the success of the School is dependent, in large part, on the people who have guided its destiny. Late in August letters had gone out to all Old Boys, inviting them to participate, in a small way, towards a gift to honour the com- pletion of twenty-five years ' devoted service to the School. Mr. Winnett said that he would like to read excerpts from letters received, but instead would report that they all expressed great admiration and affection for the Headmaster and his wife, which, he said, reflected the feeling of all of those present. The President also mentioned that the gift included an initial library of twenty stereo records. A credit was set up for further purchases in Toronto that would complete a large and composite library.

The Old Boys ' Week-end Late Sunday morning a few of the younger Old Boys managed to get up early and immediately declared their intention of playing a game of football. Loud cheers arose from Middleside and Bigside players who were itching to get a crack at some of the old pros. In fact the Soo Speedster and the Coon D og Kid showed so much enthusiasm that Mr. Lawson, after some quick thinking, decided that Bigside was not to play. He reminded his boys about one very famous player (whose name slipped his memory) who was never injured during his football career except in a game against the Old Boys when he was nearly killed. Need- less to say, he couldn ' t let that happen to Bigside. As a result, the talented Old Boys were faced by an aroused Middle- side squad. Mr. Heard ' s team drove home the fact that the Old Boys were badly out of condition; nevertheless, they could not quite outscore them. This was chiefly due to the utterly fantastic plunging and astound- ing broken-field running of a player who spent his younger days at some place in St. Catharines where they think that every day is Hallowe ' en. However, he found that running in the maroon and black wasn ' t quite as easy as riding in the red and white. As a result, he aggravated a knee injury sustained during World War I. We fervently hope that he will recover. Speaking of wars, the Old Boys had a most unfair advantage in their special weapon — the Tank. Unfortunately the strictly impartial referees could find no reference in the rule book to the ineligibility of such a monster. There were two other weapons on the Old Boys ' side and we could not help but call them VI and V2. The latter was a main- stay for the team while the former captained and coached his crew most ably and certainly not without spirit. Indeed, in a spectacular bit of dodging and side-stepping he scored a touchdown second only to that of Norm MacEachern who made a stupendous interception and run back. One other Old Boy seemed to find the football court bigger than usual and seemed a little confused. Whenever he approached the goal-posts
