. !2 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD THE T.C.S. ASSOCIATION Many Old Boys, parents and friends of the School were present on Saturday, October 25, for the St. Andrew ' s game and the first Annual General Meeting of the T.C.S. Association. Directors at large were elected and the executive body for this year is as follows: Past President — Old Boys ' Association — Bert Winnett. Honorary President — Argue Martin. President — Thomas L. Taylor. First Vice-President — Old Boys — Colin S. Glassco, Hamilton. Second Vice-President — Parents — Lt. Col. G. Allan Burton, Toronto. Third Vice-President — Parents — Walter J. Blackburn, London. Executive Director — Jim Kerr, Port Hope. 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

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.

Nevertheless it was an interesting game for the spectators and the prospective members of next year ' s Middleside are already looking for- ward to their turn at the Old Boys. TRINITY CAMP Once more as in the past few years, the ski camp, given in memory of Pat Moss, was invaded by a group of less privileged boys from the city who seldom or never get out into the country. Trinity Camp was again successfully held this year during the first two weeks of August. The campers comprised twelve boys ranging in age from nine to thirteen years. Eleven of them came from Toronto and one from Montreal. In charge of the camp was Tony Ketchum; Jim Hyland and Tim Kennish were counsellors. The School is very grateful to them for their help. The boys had a wonderful time playing baseball in the field near the camp, romping in the brush and building a dam. Excursions were made to the Port Hope and Cobourg beaches where the youngsters en- joyed themselves basking in the warm sun and swimming in Lake Ontario. A trip was also taken to the Port Hope theatre where the boys saw a movie. Particularly appealing were the evening campfires and Mr. Lawson ' s unique rendition of Casey at the Bat. At the end of two weeks, twelve happy, healthy boys boarded the train for home filled with many exciting stories of their adventures. AS YOU LIKE IT On October 21, two bus loads of boys and a large number of masters attended the Canadian Players ' presentation of Shakespeare ' s As You Like It . The play was held at the Opera House in Cobourg which was fully packed for the event. Many of the T.C.S. group spent an interesting intermission exploring the historic building. As You Like It is a light comedy almost without plot which pro- vided an evening of pleasant entertainment for all attending. HALLOWE ' EN PARTY After a shortened study on October 30, the New Boys changed into clothes to suit the occasion and the annual Hallowe ' en party was soon in full swing. About half the New Boys were assembled in the gymnasium in teams of equal number representing Brent and Bethune. Two of the senior boys raced around the obstacle race that had been set up around the gym to show the New Boys how the course was to be followed. Then the big
