20 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD M. I. G. C. Dowie ( ' 49- ' 58). A visitor to T.C.S. during the evening meal last year might have been surprised to hear a weird chorus of Mook , Mook as Mark Dowie walked leisurely up the aisle to his place. But Mook as he was called, was an outstand- ing figure in School life. For the second year in a row, we saw him in the fall pouncing on stray fumbles for Bigside football, while in the winter he turned to more aquatic activities, swimming for I the twice Little Big Four champions. Outside his M B ilh j I sports activities, Mark played a prominent part in Wk s!r I the Choir and the Political Science Club. His key role, however, was as Editor-in-Chief of the Record and his long hours of work in the Record room and the excellent magazine produced testify to his abilities in this field. Now the big redhead has gone on to greater things — perhaps someday boss of his beloved Cleveland Indians. Who knows ? D. P. Farnsworth ( ' 5±- ' 58). In September 1954 the doors of Bethune House opened up to swallow Don, but they never really closed. He left behind him a trail of athletic successes for the next four years. In the fall of that first year he made his mark on the Littleside Football team, gaining his extra colours and later in the year became a prom- inent member of the Littleside Hockey team, here also winning his colours. The rest of that first year is rather obscure as he worked his way through the June finals. Marbs also played Middleside Hockey, gain- ing his full colours. He found himself a star on the first football team last year, getting six out of the thirteen L.B.F. touchdowns and a Distinc- tion Cap. During this term he became a House Officer and later in the year he became a House Prefect. He played on the first hockey team on its trip to Princeton where he aided superbly in helping win the Lawrence- ville Tournament. Keep Sturgeon Falls on the map, Don, we ' d like to hear from you soon.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 19 Blane ' s friendly personality and easy-going manner were his primary characteristics and the School hopes that he will return often to visit us. He is now working in a bank in Toronto where his impact upon the re- cession is surely being felt. R. E. Brookes ( ' 54- ' 58). Ron came to T.C.S. in the fall of ' 54. In his next three years he played Littleside B football, Middleside League and be- came an avid librarian, photographer, and junior debater. His final year saw him also a member of the Senior Debating Club, and a hardworking assistant head librarian. Ron was a good swim- mer, winning his Middleside swimming colours and a place on our Eastern Canadian Championship Swimming Team. In his final year he was appointed a House Officer. J. E. Day ( 9 5 - ' 58), Prom his first appearance at T.C.S. in 1954, Jimmy Day contributed much to its life. Always a good student, he was also active in athletics. In his new boy year Jimmy was a keen swimmer, winning his Middleside colours. The following year he began his football career on Littleside, where he won his colours. In 1956-57, now a fifth former, Jimmy played Middleside foot- ball and won his colours and the award for the most valuable player. He then ran the Oxford cup. In his last year Jimmy was a House Officer, and a Senior Debater. He was also a member of our cham- pionship First XII for which he received full colours and of the box horse team on Inspection Day. He is now enrolled at Queen ' s studying Engineer- ing and a member of the University Air Training Plan.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 21 D. H. Gordon ( ' 54- ' 58). At the Club Dinner, 1958, approximately one hundred and fifty boys and members of the staff convulsed themselves with laughter during one of the speeches. The cause of their amusement was an extremely witty address by Dave Gordon, the Head Librarian. During his last year Dave seemed to bloom into the position of unchallenged king of School humour- ists. However, his informal position did not keep him from the duties of a House Officer, Record work and Debating. He also distinguished himself in the Public Speaking contest and more especially the U.T.S. debate. Dave was also the leader in Middleside League tackling and many now carry the memories of his bone shaking tackles. Lately Dave has undergone a serious operation in the Toronto General Hospital, but we all breathed a sigh of relief when we heard that our Trinity Mark Twain was well on the road to recovery. H. D. L. Gordon ( ' 54- ' 58). Hugh started off his T.C.S. career in Boulden House and did well in football and gymnastics as well as serving on the Record staff. The following year he went into the Senior School as a member of Bethune House. In the three years until he graduated, he showed the masters and the students that he was capable of accepting responsibility and doing a job well. It was because of these assets and others that he was voted Head Sacristan, Record Photography Editor and Vice- President of the Photographic Society in his last year. Hugh also proved himself in athletics by winning first team colours in gymnastics, coming second in the Oxford Cup race and playing Middle- side football. Owing to these accomplishments Hugh was made a House Officer, which turned out to be another job well done. He is presently in Engineer- ing Physics at the University of Toronto, and on the basis of his record at Trinity we know he will do well for himself. One must not forget to mention his quite remarkable skill in drawing and painting: one of his pictures (of the School buildings) is now hanging in the library, and he did many others for various purposes.
