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

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.

12 Tninrrv COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD the school, on Speech Day last June, he was awarded a Special Debating Prize. As well as this Ezz continued his interest in dramatics in the S.S. In Third Forni he wrote and acted in the New Boy Skit and was in the senior play Escapade , The next year, because of his amazing sing- ing ability the was tone deafl, John was made Page to the Lord Chan- cellor in Iolanthe . In Fifth Form he starred in the comedy The Hap- piest Days Ot' Your Life , as Miss Whitchurch, for which he was award- ed the Best Actor's Award , and in his final year he was one of the leads in H1865 and All That . .lolin contributed to manv other phases of school life, on which there is not time to elaborate fully. Briefly, he was at one time or another in the Dramatics Society, the Physics Club, the French Club. both the Senior and Junior Political Science Clubs, the Quacks, the Billiards Club, and on top of this all, he won the Public Speaking Contest twice. In his final year, several other accomplishments are notable. John was made Head Librarian and Features Editor of the Record. He was also ap- pointed Head Sacristan and Head Crucifer. All these positions he filled responsibly. If the above does not impress you, it should be said that scholastics was really John's forte. In both the Third and Fourth forms he won the Trinity Prize and the Bethune Scholarships. In the Fifth Form, .Iohn won all of four subject prizes, in Math, French, History, and Science. On Speech Day in his final year John again did extremely well. Among the many prizes he won. or rather earned, were the coveted Governor General's Medal for Mathematics and the Founder's Prize for Science. It might be added now that in his Grade 13 Departmentals John got the highest average in Sixth Form. John, for all his contributions, was named a Fifth Form House Of- ficer, and in his final year was appointed a School Prefect. John's record speaks for itself. In everything he did, he applied himself to the utmost, and never gave anything but his best. His enthusiasm was unbounded and the results are self-evident. We wish him well at McGill where he is now studying. D. J. Galbraith C62-'65J Doug came to T.C.S. in Fourth Form, and when someone asked him how he was going to get along here, his re- ply was: Oh, I guess I'll manage somehow. His prediction soon came true for that very same year he became manager of the track team. In his second year he managed Middleside football and in the Sixth Form, as a grand finale, he be- came co-manager-in-chief of the Bigside Foot- ball Team. However, Doug was not always the man be- hind-the-scenes, for he was a member of the swim team for three years, and earned Little- side and half-Bigside colours. A versatile per- son. he swam breaststroke, long-distance and was also a diver. In one instance, while swimming the 200 yard freestyle in a different pool, Dong siil'l'i-veil the disconcerting discomfort of bashing into the end of the pool llle came third in the race, by the wayl. Dong displayed a positive attitude while he was at T.C.S., he was a meniber ot' the French Vlub, the Pat Moss Club and the Glee Club, the
