TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 15 The Dramatic Society is again being directed by Mr. Scott. Stock- wood has been elected President and Hodgetts and Denny Vice-President and Secretary respectively. Six new members were elected to complete the membership. Mr. Wilson is again producing the Christmas play for the new members of the society which is to be Friar ' s of Berwick by John McCake. We wish Mr. Wilson and his cast the best of success in producing yet another hit performance. The Electronics Club with Nick LeMoine as President and Mr. Wilson as Director is going to buy an Electronic Transistor Kit. This will enable the members to build several different electronic and radio devices. The Club may also take part in ham radio broadcasting, using LeMoine ' s equipment. The Photographic Society is again using the School ' s dark room facilities. Gross is the President this year and Colin Starnes is Vice- President. Both these boys have taken several football action shots which Mr. Lawson found very useful in classroom coaching sessions. THE LIBRARY The Library staff under Mr. Gordon is being organized in a slightly different way this year. From a chart posted in the stack room, each of the thirteen librarians may find out his various weekly jobs for the whole term. The advantage of this system is that everyone knows his tasks well in advance from a quick glance at the chart. Steve Wilson is Head Librarian. Two librarians each week are engaged on repairs in an effort to catch up in a branch of our work which fell badly behind last year. Since September, eighty-one new books have been catalogued and placed on the shelves. We have received many gifts this fall and we wish to thank most sincerely Governor-General Massey for a large col- lection, P. H. Lewis, W. J. Blackburn, A. Bruyns, Charles Clay and M. B. Sullivan. ENTERTAINMENT This year the School is providing more entertainment on Saturday evenings than ever before. On the first two Saturdays there was an informal sing-song and a performance by the School orchestra. With a new instrument, the clarinet, played by Ron Atkey, John Wilson at the piano, Pat Saunders on the trumpet, Kip Southam and Paul Davoud alternating on the drums and Bill Warner playing one of his washtub boogies, the orchestra had an enthusiastic reception. A short movie was shown on both nights. The first one, which described the building of the railway between Seven Islands and Knob Lake, was particularly interesting.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 17 THE LEA VINO CLASS P. A. Allen ( ' 54- ' 58). Pete ' s four years in Bethune House are a story of increasing success. Consistently he was a good student and his school work always came first. In athletics he worked his way up to Middleside colours in football. For the first two years, in the winter terms, he played rabbit league hockey as well as squash. In the latter two years of his T.C.S. career, he obtained his first team colours in squash, captaining the team in his final year. In the spring he preferred tennis, becoming a member of the School tennis team and leading Bethune House to an upset victory over Brent in his last year. Pete ' s contributions to the School were not all in athletics, how- ever. He was both a Sacristan and Crucifer, a member of the Pat Moss Club and president of both the French Club and the Debating Society. Pete was also head of the trumpeters in the cadet band and Literary editor of the Record. These talents, his dependability, and his sense of responsibility led to his being chosen a School Prefect in his graduating year. Pete is now with the Engineers at U. of T. I. W. M. Angus ( 9 51- f 5S). Ian came to us from Boulden House in 1955 and became a member of Middle Dorm Brent. He used to spend many hours tinkering with gadgets and electronic devices, much to the dismay of the House Officers on light duty! One of Ian ' s devices gave warning whenever any- one was approaching the dorm after lights out. He was a keen football player and received full colours on last year ' s championship team. He was also a member of the ' ' Record staff, and was appointed a House Officer in his last year. With four firsts to his credit in his Senior Matriculation, we are confident he will do well at McGill where he is now enrolled
