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.

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.

22 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD B. M. Hancock ( ' 56- ' 58). Hailing from Sarnia and South America, Red left his mark after three years here. He captained his Rabbit League Hoc- key team to victory in the winter of 1958, winning the coveted chocolate rabbit. Previous to this he had added to his laurels the Middleside League football championship. During the spring he was a prominent member of the track team. He repre- sented the School in the COSSA meets doing par- ticularly well in the high jump. Meanwhile at School he won both the Intermediate high jump and pole vault. As a sideline, Barry played tennis and golf, doing particularly well in the latter. As well as being a very considerate person, Red has a very keen sense of humour. R. S. Hart ( ' 55- ' 58). Pinhead came to the School from Toronto with his track shoes under his arm and that Indian look in his eyes. In his first year he won the Magee Cup Race for New Boys, placed second in the Oxford Cup, and played Little- side football. During the winter he was on Bigside Basketball, where he received full first team colours. In track he was Junior Aggregate winner and broke the open javelin record. Pin ' s second year was spent running the Oxford Cup and playing Middleside Football and Bigside Basketball, where he won full colours in both sports. In track, he was Intermediate Aggregate champion and again broke the javelin record as well as the Intermediate pole vault. He was also head of his class. In his final year Pin was made a School Prefect. He played Bigside Football and won his full colours. He won the Oxford Cup and for his efforts was given a Distinction Cap. He was captain of Bigside Basket- ball and also won a Distinction Cap in that sport. On Inspection Day he was CO. of Bethune House, arid led them to a victory in the Drill Com- petition. He was one of two boys who won first team colours in track, representing the School at the C.O.S.S.A. meet. On Sports Day he won the Senior Aggregate, and broke the javelin record for the third time. He was a runner-up for the Grand Challenge Cup on Speech Day. Pin is now at R.M.C. and we are confident that he is doing very well.
