TRINITY COLLEGE scHooL RECORD 11 THE POLITICAL SCIENCE CLUB Under Messrs. Hodgetts and Kirkpatrick, the Political Science Club is off to a rolling start for another year. Glass is president and Watchorn Secretary. For the first time, the Junior Political Science Club has been organized. It carries on much the same sort of activities as the parent club and is open to boys in the Third and Fourth Forms. Boultbee is president, Derry, secretary, and Ion, treasurer. Hamlin is the adviser. THE FRENCH CLUB The French Club, under the guidance of Mr. Bishop, has elected Watchorn as President and Phipps as Secretary. The Club is preparing a Christmas play on the adventures of a Canadian in France who has lost all his clothes except pyjamas and can't speak a word of French. THE PHOTOGRAPHIC CLUB With Mr. Lewis as director, the Photo Society is again functioning smoothly and looking forward to an important year. Traviss has been elected president. THE ELECTRONICS CLUB ,, Under Mr. Wilson's watchful eye, the Electronics Club is off to what looks like a good start this year with several projects planned. Keeble has been elected president. RALLIES AND SING SONGS There were several successful football rallies this term, the major ones of course preceding the Little Big Four matches. The first rally was in honour of the U.C.C. - T.C.S. game. The words to several old songs were slightly modified to fit the mood of the school. At the Ridley rally, the very 'Left' Reverend John Dowie, officiated at the execution and cremation of one of Ridley's foremost players who left this world fully aware of his serious crime in being on the wrong team. The hanging was followed by several rousing cheers and a large bonfire. At the height of the S.A.C. rally Miss Bigside of 1961 was revealed to the Public. This year's lucky winner turned out to be Miss Roberta CGorgeousl Gibson. This rally was climaxed when an unfortunate S.A.C. player got into our midst and was treated with the proper respect due to those opposing us. The success of these football rallies and the general spirit of the school as a whole was largely due to the cheerleaders. A special word should therefore be said for John Bayly, Bob Henderson, Gary Gray, Leonard Smith and Ken Richmond who did so much to keep the morale of T.C.S. at such a high level. Several times this term, the school got together in a body and under the exuberant direction of Mr. Lawson, indulged in a half-hour sing song. This was a very beneficial and enjoyable time, for not only did we get to know one another better, but it also gave us a chance to learn many of the songs that have been traditional at T.C.S.

10 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD AN EXCURSION TO MOSPORT On Saturday, September 30, a bus load of sports car enthusiasts journeyed to Mosport to watch the Canadian Grand Prix, the first in Canadian history. Leaving after the Bigside football game with R.M.C., We arrived just in time, for the race was about to begin. As we hurried to see the start, we were deafened by various deep-throated roars as the sleek Formula One cars warmed up. Since the race would take two hours, we spread out over the course in order to get a good vantage point at the hair-pin turn on the south end of the Track. Because of the numerous sharp turns devised in true European style, speeds were kept within a reasonable limit. The fastest lap time speed was only ninety miles ner hour, while on the short straightaway at the pits, it was a mere one hundred and forty miles per hour! The rare soon became a personal contest between Oliver Gendebien and the famous Stirling Moss, both driving identical green Lotuses. All the other cars were left behind as these two superb drivers changed positions many times throughout the race. Then Moss required two lengthy pit stops, which dropped him to sixth place. Soon after, Gendebien was forced to retire from the race. And so it was, with fifteen laps to go, Canada's own Peter Ryan took a substantial lead. Moss, trying hard to catch up, set a new track record but finished in third place, just behind Pedro Rodriguez. We all thought it very fitting that a Canadian should win the first Grand Prix, and so, in a happy frame of mind, we journeyed back to the School, somewhat delayed by the traffic jam. , . , -VN ,..-.
