As well as this, D.K. was responsible for helping boys to get their Bronze Medallion and their Awards ot' Merit, as he was a Life-Saving instructor, and subsequently examiner. Another interesting side of Dekes' character was his great love, extra-curricular, of course, for motor scooters. This did not come out until Y Form, but it became a source of amusement and a topic of conversation among D.K. and his friends. His great dream, that of owning a bike of his own, was finally realized at the beginning of his Yl Form year and few will forget the sight of Dekes, triumphant on his llonda at the Ridley game last year. For shortly before the start of the game. going at reckless speeds nearing twenty miles an hour, D.K. at- tempted a hair-pin turn, and fell off. And that no one will ever forget! Dekes is now at McMaster. Good luck to him from all his friends at T.C.S.! P. F. Carey C63-'65J School Prefect Pete, or Trix as he came to be known, entered the school as a Fourth Form New Boy. Though a quiet, studious person, he soon showed he had great sporting abilities for he vice-captained the Middleside Basketball team, and played Little- side Cricket as well. Who will forget his scan- dalous appearance on the cricket pitch wearing a red shirt?l In Fifth Form Trix really accelerated. He played Middleside Football and showed he was no ordinary basketball player by winning Big- Nw side Colours in that sport. He also entered more into the extra-curricular side of school life this year: he became a stalwart bass in the choir, a member of the Senior Political Science Club, the Pat Moss Club, and that notoriously intel- lectual. hockey-game-watching, gourmet-gourmand club known as the Quacks . But he did not forget his studies, and was awarded the Jubi- lee Award for Mathematics on Speech Day, the top Maths prize. For all his outstanding achievements in his two short years at the school, he was made a House Officer at the end of the year. 'x 0 In his last year, Trix, having been appointed a School Prefect, con- tinued his career as a fine athlete. He played Bigside Football and was co-vice-captain of the L.B.F. Championship Bigside Basketball team. He also distinguished himself as a racquets player of note, being both the school singles Badminton Champ, and with Rich Irvine, the school doubles Tennis Champ. He was appointed School News Editor for the Record, a position he ably filled, aided by a vast editorial staff. As well as this, he continued in the Choir. Always a pool-shark, though he never liked to admit it, he was appointed President of the Billiards Club, and melted away countless hours trying desperately to beat John Esdaile. The Senior Political Science Club benefited much from his presence, and he was awarded the prize for Best Speech delivered be- fore this erudite assembly. Pete was quite a leader who rarely had to raise his voice to main- tain totai order. fexcept of course, as a Flight Lieutenant of Cadetsj. lie was always a valuable friend and a good sport, whatever the cir- cumstanfxes. Very few people are recognized as such by their com-

His interest in sports carried over to the Record, where he was a reporter, and later co-sports Editor. Because he wore the most comfortable shoes in the school, march- ing came easily to him, and he was thus an extremely competent Cadet Sergeant, where his sergeant-major's voice proved an advantage. He became a member of the infamous Billiards Club, and for his various contributions to the life of the school was made a House Prefect, in which capacity he was at least as effective as two. Tom was always the quiet type, but certainly one of the most re- liable and dependable that could be found anywhere. He gave a great deal to T.C.S.. and we wish him luck. R. T. W. Bower C62-'65J Rick came to Brent House in Fourth Form from St. John's Ravenscourt in Winnipeg, and spent three full and active years at Trinity. No mean athlete, he used to good ability that western-bred talent, playing on Littleside Hockey in his first year and Middleside Hockey for the next two years. And in the Fifth Form, he tore himself away from league football to play on the Littleside squad for one year. As a good start for what was to become a fine academic record at T.C.S., Rick won the Trinity prize for IVB1. By Sixth Form he had become a member of the Senior Political Science Club and was renowned for his fire-breathing Toryism. Rick was a familiar figure on the campus in the Trinity Term, golf club in hand, or practising his goose-stepping. His ability to keep in step won him sergeant stripes in the Cadet Corps in VI Form. During all his three years at the school, Rick remained a strong quiet type. He had the knack of staying behind the scenes but was always ready and determined to help or contribute to Trinity life, which he did in many ways. And for these dependable qualities, Rick was indeed well liked. We sincerely wish him the best of luck. D. K. Brown C62-'65J Dekes entered the school as a Fourth Form New Boy and set- tled into school life rapidly. A fun-loving boy, he joined Littleside League Football where he was a stalwart center. Later that year Dekes received Littleside Basketball colours for his great work on the team. Dekes also supported the Track and Field Team in both his Fourth and Fifth Form years. In Fifth Form, D.K. exposed a new facet of his character by joining the noble army of Sacristans. He so excelled in this new role that in his last year CVIth Formb he was made one of the Crucifers. In V Form he graduated to the Middleside level in sports, to league football and Middleside Basketball. In both V and VI FOI ms Dekes made the illustrious League All-Star Football team Cwhich as

What better tribute can there be than this to such an outstanding person as Pete? R. E. Cundill C60-'65J Breaking swim ming records seemed to be Bob's favourite pas- time. But he did many other things as well. Coming to the Senior School after a year in Boul- den House, he assisted on the staff of the Record in his New Boy year, and played Littleside Hockey. It is said that his first season on ice was an extremely slushy one, for having been thoroughly soaked several times, Bob decided to take the plunge for a much warmer variation of the same medium. The whim to swim proved an eventful one for the rest of Bob's career at T.C.S. After managing the Littleside Football team in Fourth Form, Bob joined the swim team, and in one short season did such a superlative job that he won Bigside Colours. As well as this he continued his Record work. Then in Fifth Form, Bob began the first of two years as a stage hand. But it was again in swimming that he really shone. Having been taught the But- terfly from scratch by another swimming ace and Captain that year, Tom Reid, who set an L.B.F. record, Bob turned around and beat Tom's record in the very next heat of the L.B.F. swim meet that year. And then not content just to leave it there, he proceeded to break his own record all over again at the L.B.F. meet in his last year at the school. For this phenomenal achievement Bob was awarded a Distinction Cap, as well as a Special Coaching Award, for the time he devoted to the younger swimmers. On top of this, to round off his College En- trance year, he won Middleside Football Colours, and helped to lead Bethune House as a Cadet Sergeant. Bob's appointment in his last year as a House Officer was certainly a testament to all the fine work he did during his five years at T.C.S. We are certain that Bob will be a success in whatever field he specializes fwe recommend Olympic swim- ming.J R. E. de Boyrie C60-'65D Ralph began his career at T.C.S. in Boulden House, where he played for the Second Soccer Eleven. Certainly it was rather a shock for him to see the first snowfall, for he was accustomed to the tropical temperatures of Panama. However, he wea- thered his first winter, and entered the Senior School obviously well acclimatized as his record here shows. He participated in the New Boy ..,,,,,, gym competition in his first year. was a mem- ber of the Littleside Basketball team, and was the best batsman on Littleside Cricket. The next year, Ralph began his upward climb, and gradu- ated to Middleside Basketball and Cricket. In Fifth Form, Ralph was awarded the honoured position of Captain of Middleside Basketball, played again for Middleside Cricket, and was the
