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

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-

10 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD lead percussionist of the Concert Band, then in its infant stages. In the fall ot' his final year, Ralph was Captain of his league foot- ball team, and held the important post of head linesman for school foot- ball games. lle was appointed a Flight Sergeant in the Cadet Corps, and was once again a member of the Concert Band. As a climax to his ath- letic career, Ralph played for the L.B.F. Championship Bigside Basket- ball team. And for his varied contributions to the school, he was made a Ilouse Officer. lt can certainly be said that Ralph enjoyed a highly successful career at T.I'.S. He was the quiet unassuming type, well-liked and highly thought of. Undoubtedly he was the only boy in the school ever to have had his birthday celebrated nineteen days in a row. In fact, we're still celebrating it here, even after he's gone! Good luck to you, Ralph. l A. C. Duncanson C56-'65J Andy came to the Senior School a tried and proven veteran of Boulden House, having participated in Football, Cricket and Hockey, in which he showed parti- cular promise. When he arrived here, this live wire , as he was sometimes referred to by a certain House- master, jumped enthusiastically into all the ma- jor sports, playing Littleside Football, Hockey and Cricket. As well as this, he took part in the Glee Club's many activities. In Fourth Form Andy jumped up a grade, to Middleside Foot- ball, and much to everyone's surprise also joined the Junior Debating Club. In Fifth Form Andy hit the big time by playing Bigside Football and Middleside Hockey as well. That year, for the first time, he was a member of the Pat Moss Club and was a Stage Hand for the School play. Sixth Form was a fitting climax to Andy's long and rewarding career at T.C.S. - and showed he made a significant contribution to the school. As well as being a House Officer of the highest order, he once more lent his ability and experience to Bigside Football. Besides participating to the fullest in sports, he was vice-president of his class, an upstanding member of the Billiards Club, and a Stagehand for the second year in a row. In Cadets, Andy attained the rank of W.O.2 and was appointed Head of the Cadet Band - it was due to him principally that they per- formed so well on Inspection Day. Andy is now studying economics at Ryerson in Toronto, and we wish him all the success in the world in his life as a 'I'.f'.S. Old Boy.
