TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD I5 he proved himself outstanding in every field he pursued, especially in athletics where he showed unusual abilities. We wish him all the suc- cess he had at T.C.S. D. G. Hassel C60-'65l It was in the fall of 1960 that Dave first entered Brent House as a New Boy. Getting into the swing of things im- mediately, he earned colours in both Littleside Football and Hockey, and played league cricket as well. In the next two years, as he drifted bliss- fully through Fourth Form, Wazo received col- ours, then co-captainship, and finally the Most Valuable Player Award on Middleside Football. He was also a Captain in Rabbit League Hockey, contributed to the Pat Moss Club, and was a Stage Hand. In his Fifth Form year, Dave received col- ours on Bigside Football, and was again a Captain of Rabbit League Hockey. As a lumberjack, he continued to be active in the Pat Moss Club, and was again a Stage Hand. Returning in the fall of '64 for his final year, Dave was destined to play a large part in school affairs. He became Assistant Captain of Bigside Football, earning both a Distinction Cap, and the Kerr Trophy for the Most Valuable Player on Bigside. Dave won his second set of Bigside Colours that year for his efforts on the Hockey Team, where he had made the tremendous leap from the league. Among other things, Dave was in charge of the Stage Hands, he was appointed a House Prefect and finally became Assistant Head of Brent House. He also held the important rank of WO1 in the Cadet Corps. Not one of the biggest, but, as he would say, certainly one of the toughest, Wazo was always a centre of activity of TCS, and his un- flagging spirit never wavered. He was a true asset to the school, and set an example for many to follow. N37 M. B. Holton C61-'65D Four years passed while Mark was at T.C.S. and he made the most of them, by entering into almost every branch of school life. In his first year, he took part in league sports, became a member of the Science Club, and an electrician. In Fourth Form Mark again was a Stage Hand for the Christmas enter- tainment, and remained in the Science Club as well. He played league Football and Cricket, and C ' during the winter term was a member of Little- side Basketball. During his year in Fifth Form, Mark extended his interests to include the Bil- liards Club, and Tennis in the spring term, as well as keeping up his league Football, remaining a worthy member of the Stage Crew, and becoming manager for Middle- side Basketball. Undoubtedly Mark's best year was his final one, in which he headed

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

Mark's other interests in his senior year included the Billiards Club, in which he constantly defeated S. G. Smith hy vast scores, managing Bigside Basketball, and leading the lum- berjacks at the Pat Moss camp, for which he received the well-deserved Pat Moss Award on Speech Day. During the summers of 1964 and 1965 Mark gave up part of his holidays, to be an efficient and useful coun- sellor at the Trinity Camp. For his commitments to the school, and for his varied contributions to school life, he was appointed a House Officer, a position well earned by all his fine efforts. The school wishes Mark all the best as he moves on to the Arts faculty at Bishop's University. J. R. C. Irvine C60-'65J School Prefect Dur- ing his short stay in Boulden House, Rick, or Croft as he was called, identified himself as an athlete of great prowess by playing on both First Cricket and First Football, and he brought this athletic reputation with him as he entered the hallowed halls of Brent in September of 1961. In Third Form he came second in the New Boy race and played Littleside Hockey and Middle- side Cricket. And then, just to prove that he had cultural as well as athletic interests, he bal- anced the intellectual side by joining the Junior Political Science Club. As well as this, he was elected Secretary to his class. ln Fourth Form Rich expanded his athletic pursuits to include the Tennis Team. Littleside Football, Middleside Hockey, the Oxford Cup, in which he finished third, and Bigside Cricket. In addition to this, he lent his voice to the very successful production of Iolanthe . By the time Fifth Form rolled around, Rick's athletic endeavours included the Tennis team, of which he was singles champion, Middleside Football, second place in the Oxford Cup, Bigside Hockey, and Bigside Cricket CLBF championsl. He also became a member of the Pat Moss Club. And for all his many contributions to the school, he was appointed a llouse Officer. Sixth Form for Rich was a year of unparalleled activity. He was appointed a School Prefect early in the year, and in this capacity helped to make the Centennial Year the great success that it was. In athletics Rich was as busy as ever, with Bigside Football, Hockey, and Cricket, and the Tennis team. He also won the doubles in Tennis and Badmin- ton, as well as retaining the Tennis singles championship. On top of all this, he served as his class representative to the Student Council. All those of us who knew Rich during his five years at T.C.S. will remember him for his warm personality and his happy sense of humour. And we will join in wishing him the best of everything as he continues his studies at Colby College.
