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.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 9 panions. Pete was one of these, for his classmates elected him Presi- dent of The Leaving Class. 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

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 11 W. D. P. Elcock C63-'65J Ward joined the ranks of Bethune in his Fifth Form year, and thus neatly dodged the ravages of the New Boy system. As a result he was still in fit enough condition by winter-time to get out into the cold brisk air with a pair of skates and play for the glory of the Rabbit League. He spent the fol- lowing spring romping around the campus like a gazelle, for he became a member of the Rugger team. In Sixth Form, however, Ward became doubly active and, as a result, the year was a busy and rewarding one for him. During the fall, he took on the mammoth task of managing Bigside Football, and carried out his job respon- sibly and tirelessly. Again he joined the ranks of the Rabbit League in the winter but this year enjoyed the prestige of being a Captain, and the spoils of being an All-Star. But Ward did not limit his activities just to athletics, for in Sixth Form he was elected a member of the pres- tigious Senior Political Science Club, to which he contributed a great deal. And not to be overlooked is his appointment as a House Officer, and a Sergeant in the Cadet Corps as well. As if these jobs weren't enough to keep him busy, he roomed with David Laing, which was a job in itself. He never knew, as he got up each morning, whether his bed was electrified, or whether some deadly explosive had been stuck in the soles of his shoes. However, he survived it unscathed, and remained his same dependable, unassuming self. Ward accomplished a great deal in his two years at the school, and with him go the best wishes of T.C.S. .. J. M. Esdaile C58-'65l School Prefect To write a quick summary of John's years at T.C.S. is rather difficult, for he did so much that it would be perhaps easier to list what he did not do. However, at the risk of making this a thicker Record than ever before, we will attempt the for- mer. Ezz spent three years in Boulden House. He played on the soccer team for all three years, captaining the team his final year. John also very early in his school life showed his bent to- wards acting. He was the lead in the J.S. plays in his last two years there. And in his last year John was made a member of C Dorm. In the Senior School John continued along the path he had so illus- triously hewn out for himself in Boulden House. In sports, because of his amazingly minute physique, John never played on a school football team. However, he found his sport in the form of gymnastics, and in this, he worked his way steadily up, from Middleside Colours in Third and Fourth Forms, to Half-Bigside in Fifth Form, and finally to full Bigside in his final year. In the field of extra-curricular activities John was a standout. He was on the Fourth Form debating executive, debated on the senior level in Fifth Form, and became Deputy Speaker and Head of the Third Form Debating Club in his final year. For his contributions to debating at
