TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 13 Debating Society and the Record staff, and as well as this, he was the organizer of the Trap Shooting Club. As a Cadet, he proved himself most capable, winner of a Flying Scholarship, he received his Wings from Governor-General Vanier, on the Centennial Inspection Day - one more feather in his cap! Also a keen Geography student, he had the initiative and desire to do some extra work on a nickel project as an entry for the Hugel prize for Geology, payable in cash. Since he was the only entrant, na- turally he won it. fThere was a nasty rumour going around that he did it just for the moneyj. Doug's three years at T.C.S. were short but busy ones, in which he contributed much to the life of the school. T.C.S. is just a beginning, and for people like Doug, a good beginning. R. S. Glassco C61-'65D Roger the Dodger. as he was called, was a unique figure around the school, he was of that peculiar breed who are extremely well-liked, yet hold the respect of a prefect. Certainly Rog was a most enjoyable fellow to be with, almost anywhere, especially on leaves in Toronto, where invariably he made it back to the bus with only one or two seconds to spare. Rog's record of achievement at T.C.S. is long and impressive. By the time he entered Fifth Form, he had already been a member of the Junior Political Science Club for two years, the Debating Society, Littleside Football, the Big- side Squash team, and the Track Team. In his Fifth Form year he went on to become a member of the senior Political Science Club, an L.B.F. Debater, President of his class, a stage hand. and a member of both the Billiards Club and the Glee Club. As well as all this, he played Middleside Football, was a member of Bigside Squash, and was on the Track team again. Rog was made a Fifth Form House Officer and the next year a House Prefect. During this last cli- mactic year at the School, Rog became the President of Debating, Captain of Bigside Squash. and a member of Bigside Football. The contributions that he made to the School life were indeed outstanding, as his record of activities so clearly shows. We hope that Rog does just as well in the future, and wish him all the best at Carleton University where he is now studying. G. A. Granger C61-'65D George, another of our illustrious West Indian Imports. came to T.C.S. from Jamaica and went into the Third Form. During that winter, rather than brave our cold Canadian climate. 'Spic' preferred to remain indoors and play for Littleside basketball. Then when spring arrived, and things had warmed up a bit, he ventured out-of-doors and played Littleside cricket. In his Fourth Form year, George advanced to the Middleside teams in both sports. Then in Fifth Form he made the big break-through in cricket and played for the Big- side XI in their glorious year as LBF Champions. Naturally he remained on the team in Sixth

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

Finally, he became a member of the Bigside Basketball team in Sixth Form as well, aso LBF Champions. 'Midnight' talias 'Addison X'J was a familiar figure in the courts, as he came bounding down to make a jump shot, humming Sweet Georgia Brown to himself. His ability as a drilmbler won him half-Bigside colours. Looking back, there was one particularly notable thing about Spic's athletic career: every Big- side team that he played on won an LBF Championship, certainly a hard record to beat. But Spic was not just an athleteg and his many other extra-curricular activities show this clearly. He was a faithful member of the Science Club, the Billiards Club, the Cadet Band, and the Record staff. ln Sixth Form he was awarded an R.C.A.F. scholarship, and sub- sequently earned his flying licence last summer. As a token of his many accomplishments throughout his career at T.C.S., he was ap- pointed a House Officer. We are confident that George will continue his successes, as he moves on to Carleton. R. L. Harvey C57-'65J Rick came to Brent House in the fall of 1961, after four years in Boulden House, and soon became known for his friendliness and great exuberance. 'Puppy Dog' kicked off his athletic career in League football, but then played Middleside hockey and Littleside cricket, receiving colours in both. In this Third Form year he was also a Librarian, and sang in the Glee Club. In the next year, not only did Rick break out of the League to play Middleside football, but also moved up to Bigside, near the end of the season, and was awarded Middleside Colours for his efforts. Rick then made Bigside Hockey, and received his first set of Bigside Colours, of which he was destined to receive many more. In the spring, Rick joined the Track and Field Team, but he also did much in other fields fit's hard to keep track of them alll. Gifted with a fine voice, he sang in the chorus of Iolanthe , and was also in the Choir, as well as the Glee Club. On top of all this Rick was a Sacristan. and he also nobly and unselfishly devoted much of his time to the Billiards Club. By his Fifth Form year, Rick was on Bigside to stay: in football he won Full First Team Colours for his performance on the team, once more he made the Bigside hockey teamg and he decided to take up cricket again, dividing his time between Middleside and Bigside. He was a prop manager for the Happiest Days of Your Life , and continued his work as a Sac-ristan. As before, Rick returned to his old loves: the Glee Club apdhthe Billiards Club. He was appointed a House Officer at the end o t e year. ln his last year, Rick played all three major sports, and received a Distinction Cap for Cricket. He was in H1865 and All That , and sang in the skclcton choir for Mr. Prower's anthem. He also continued to sing in the Glee Club, and kept the billiard cue in his hand. And cer- tainly not to he overlooked is that he was a Flight Officer in the Colour Party as well as a House Prefect. During his eight years at the school, '91
