18 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD Again he was Photographic Editor of the Record and President of the Camera t'lub. That year, his well concealed but intense interest in sports asserted itself. for he became Captain of a Middleside League football team, and worked his way up to a position on the Squash Team. For his achievements at the school he was made a House Officer. No account of David Laing would be complete without some men- tion ot' his unique sense of humour. He was a master of mimicry, and could have people beside themselves with laughter at his impressions of individuals who would probably prefer to remain anonymous. He was also a master of Modern Dance, and had there been a club of this kind at the school he undoubtedly would have led it. , On Speech Day 1965, he won the Jubilee Exhibition for Maths, the Photography Prize, a special prize for assistance on the Record and the Sixth Form Science Prize. Dave was a great contributor to the school, and both his practical jokes and tremendous sense of humour will be sorely missed. R. A. G. MacNab C57-'65J Assistant Head Prefect Out of the wild stretches of Newfound- land, skates slung over his shoulder, and hum- ming My Own Dear Land , Gordie arrived, in all his glory, at Boulden House. But it wasn't for several years, however, after Mick,', as he was also called, had been Triple Captain, winner of the Paterson Cup for two years, and Hamil- ton Bronze Medal winner, that the Senior School was graced with his presence, and his continual remark, The 'Wings'll take it this year. When Gordie arrived, or rather, blew in, all ninety-eight pounds of him, he continued to show that he was one of the best athletes the school has ever seen, for as a New Boy, he played Middleside Football, and both Bigside Hockey and Cricket. In his next year he became a mem- ber of Bigside Football, and played on the Independent Schools Cham- pionship Hockey Team, winning a Distinction Cap for his outstanding effort. That same year, he was also elected to the Pat Moss Club. Then The Mouse advanced to Fifth Form, still backing the Wings, and still humming My Own Dear Land . He was elected vice-captain of Football and Captain of Hockey, where he was voted the Most Valu- able Player, and in the spring, wearing elevator cricket boots, he was awarded the Best Fielder's Prize for his work behind the stumps on the L.R.F. Championship Team. Also in this same year, Gordie was an Executive in the Pat Moss Club, and President of his class. On Speech Day he won the Jack Maynard Memorial Trophy, as well as being Runner- Up for the Grand Challenge Cup. In his Sixth Form year, Gordie changed his tune - now it was Dream Lover instead, but from the way he sang it, it sounded more like the Funeral March. Nevertheless, he went on to achieve the phe- nomenal: to become Triple Captain, and again winner of the Jack May- nard Trophy. In Ilockey he was again awarded the Most Valuable Player Trophy and was the best fielder on the Cricket team, which won its second I..I-LF. Vhampionship. In this, his final year, he was appointed flfssisltant Ilead Prefect, and was the winner of the Grand Challenge rop v.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 17 B. F. Lackie C60-'65D After a successful year in Boulden House, Bart appeared at the doors of Brent House with his usual broad grin on his face. As a New Boy, he played league football, received colours in Littleside Hockey, and was Captain of Littleside Cricket. He was also active in the Junior Political Science Club. In Fourth Form, still flashing his uppers, Bart played Littleside Football, Middleside Hoc- key, Where he received his colours, and Middle- side Cricket. The following year Bart reverted to league football, but made up for it by playing Bigside Hockey. He was a lumberjack in the Pat Moss Club and became a member of the Billiards Club. As a climax, he was given the honour, awarded to out- standing Fifth Form boys, of being appointed a House Officer. In his final year Bart became Assistant Captain of Middleside Foot- ball, and received colours for Bigside Hockey, in which he was the star goalie. He further heightened his kudos by remaining a member of the Billiards Club. And he was reappointed a House Officer. Because of this, and because he never enjoyed being a part of the rank-and-file, he was appointed a Flight Sergeant in the Colour Party. Bart was a truly genial person, whose flashy smile and tremendous get-up-and-go earned him a fine reputation and contributed much to his highly successful career at T.C.S. We wish him all the best of luck at Queen's. W? D. Laing C60-'65J Dave entered the Senior ' 1 . - , School from Boulden House in 1961 and immedi- :C se tif. ately showed himself a boy of great intelligence .4 X - ' by choosing Bethune House as his base of opera- tions for the coming years. As a member of IIIA V W. 5 and a native Quebecois, he felt it wise to join the D K, French Club, but even at this time Dave's in- g c 1 , Y terest in the sciences, especially mathematics. ran very high, and he became a member of the Science Club. In Fourth Form, Dave was again found in the French Club, this time as Secretaryg and he also was in the Science Club again. Who can forget the countless hair-raising experiments with deadly explosives he performed when Mr. Lewis' back was turned? But this year was a particularly special one for Dave and for the school, as it marked his entry into the Camera Club. His outstanding pro- ficiency in this art won him first prize in the Photography Competition, and he was to lead photography to new heights within the school. That same year, whenever he could tear himself away from the darkroom, he lent his talents to the Swimming Team. In Fifth Form, he was Secretary of his class, President of the Camera Club, and the Photographic Editor of the Record. His tremen- dous aptitude for mathematics was shown this year, and he decided to join the chosen few for Problems with Mr. Corbett. Sixth Form was truly a year crowning Dave's achievements at T.C.S

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 19 Gordie was a true athlete, both in his ability and in the way in which he conducted himself, whether on the field or in the rink. No matter how off base he may have been in cheering for the Wings , his ideas of sportsmanship were of the highest calibre, and never once fal- tered during all his long years at T.C.S. He will long remain a legend at the school. P. C. Marriott C61-'65D Chris strode into the bright portals of Bethune House in the fall of 1961, and right away sallied forth into school life. In Third Form, Percy , as Chris came to be known, played league football, hockey, and cricket. He repeated this performance in Fourth Form year, and as well as this extended his out- side interests to include the Science Club. In Fifth Form Percy once more played league football and cricket, but this year became a member of the Middleside hockey team. On top of this he was a Royal Lifesaving instructor, and became a valuable addition to the Record staff as a sports reporter, a job which he filled in his last year as well. By the time Sixth Form rolled around, Percy was set in his ways and determined not to break tradition: and so once again it was League football for him. But as well as this, he became a Cheerleader, and was certainly one of the most enthusiastic and lively Cheerleaders the school has seen for a long time. During the winter he became the Captain of a Rabbit League hockey team, although he was easily Bigside material. This is evidenced by the fact that he scored almost twice as many goals as everyone else in the League put together. In the House drill in the Trinity Term, Chris was a Flight Sergeant, and was a Sergeant in the School Cadet Corps on Inspection Day. For his obviously valuable con- tributions to school life, Chris was appointed a House Officer. Percy will be greatly missed around the school, particularly for his unusual sense of humour and for the innumerable pranks he played on different members of both staff and student body. His madcap antics always added a lighter touch to the life of the school. We wish Perc the very best of luck, as he continues on his way to further his education in the halls of higher learning. D'A. P. Martin C61-'65D Head Prefect D'Arcy could scarcely be called the usual type of New Boy who arrives in Third Form, and after a slow beginning gradually builds his way up through the school to success. On the contrary, D'Arcy exhibited all his phenomenal qualities of leadership right from the very start, and was a standout from the moment he entered the school. He was first heard from as the Class Presi- dent of IIIA. But that was not the last the Stu- dent Council was to see of him, for he became Secretary of IVA the next year and finally Pre- sident of the Council in VI Form. He also joined
