4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 21 standing job he performed in his final year, and indeed in all his years at the School. To wish him luck seems futile, D'Arcy has already been elected President of First Year Trinity. R. J. McLaughlin C60-'65J Some time long ago there lived a certain military officer named Sam McLaughlin. When his distant rela- tive Bob arrived at Boulden House five years ago, everyone decided to call him Sam too, and that's how it stuck. Most people never even knew that Sam wasn't Bob's real name. When he reached the Senior School, Sam played League Football, Hockey and Cricket, a 100 per cent record. And he finished off his first year very well as the IIIB1 Trinity Scholar. In Fourth Form, Sam was again in on all the league sports. But as well as this, he now belonged to the Fourth Form Debating Society, and also the Stamp Club and the Gun Club. In his Fifth Form year, Sam became the Bigside manager of both the Swimming Team and the Champion- ship Cricket Team. That same year he joined the Concert Band, was elected to the Pat Moss Club, and both that summer and the next was a counsellor at the Pat Moss Camp. In Sixth Form, Sam became a School Cheerleader, and although he remained small in stature throughout his years at T.C.S., his voice lowered to a booming roar which could be heard bellowing at non- cheering New Boys during all the games. And as a school cheerleader, Sam was awarded the much coveted position of Goat Tender-in-chief. During the winter, Sam became a member of the Senior Swimming team, and the spring saw him again as manager of an L.B.F. cham- pionship team. Certainly not to be overlooked is the fact that as well as all this, Sam was also the only Sixth Form member of the Concert Band. Sam will not be forgotten at T.C.S., for he was unquestionably responsible for much of the School spirit that was seen in the Cen- tennial year. We wish him all the best of luck at the University of Guelph, where he is now taking an advanced course in goat-tending. P. C. Moffatt C60-'65J Peter came to the school as a day boy, and in Boulden House proved himself from the start to be a notable athlete. He played for all three Junior School teams dur- ing his year there. And he went on to play Littleside Football and Hockey in his New Boy year in the Senior School. As well as this, he was a first-rate scholar throughout, never allowing his varied extra- curricular activities to have any effect upon his academic work. He contributed much to the school as a Stage Hand, as a member of the Quacks, and, in his final year as a Flight-Ser- geant in the band. Pete was appointed Captain

20 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD the Junior Political Science Club in third form, and was subsequently elected President in Fourth Form. The next year he was made Master- in-Chargen ot' the Junior club, and as well as this became a member of the Senior Political Science Club. His crowning achievement was to be elected co-President of the Senior Club, a post from which he was later forced to resign, owing to various other pressures upon him, which you will soon see. Hut lYArcy also found his niche in Dramatics. He had parts in two small plays in his first year, and these prepared him to be a chorus- leader in Iolanthe in his Fourth Form year. His next step was to win the Butterfield Trophy for his leading part in The Friars of Berwick , and for assisting in the direction of the Happiest Days of Your Life . Finally in his Sixth Form year, D'Arcy was nothing short of outstanding in his portrayals of both Edwin Nash and the Founder in H1865 etc. . Incidentally, he gave an encore of the latter during the May 1 Centennial celebrations. The Debating Clubs too profited enormously from D'Arcy's contri- butions. He was President of the Junior Club in Fourth Form, and de- bated on the LBF level the next year against Ridley, and against UCC in Sixth Form. That same year he was a highly efficient, effective, and witty School Speaker, spokesman for the school. Perhaps D'Arcy's major contributions to the school were through his work on the Record. He was a faithful member of the Record staff for all his four years at the school, winning the Prize for Humour in his second. In his final year he was unquestionably the obvious choice for Editor-in-Chief, one of the most taxing and time-consuming jobs in the school. Rarely did he get to bed before one o'clock, as the day of the deadline approached. D'Arcy's Records were among the finest in years. Records truly befitting the Centennial Year. But D'Arcy was not only interested in the bookish aspect of school life, for he was also a very keen and capable athlete. He made the Littleside Football squad in Fourth Form, from which he graduated to Middleside the next year. And in Sixth Form, he captained Middle- side, for which he won extra Colours, as well as a Coaching Award. IJ'Arcy's real forte, however, was Squash, where he made the steady upward climb from Middleside colours in Fourth Form, Half-Bigside in Fifth Form, to full Bigside in Sixth Form. Hut all the same, D'Arcy was really best known for his amazing academic prowess. Despite his countless other obligations, he main- tained a high first-class standing nearing the 90's every year. He won the Trinity Prize in IIIA, and in VA won five subject prizes. Needless to say, in Fifth Form he was distinguished bV being Oiiicer. and he climaxed his career at T.C.S. when llead Prefect. In this capacity, he was one of the School has ever seen. The Ventennial Speech Day found him winning appointed a House he was made the finest leaders the the Ingles Trophy for Classics. the Armour Memorial Prize for his work on the Record, the l,t.-Ciovernor's Silver Medal for English, and the Rigbv prize for llistory. Last but not least, he was both the Head Boy and Chancellor's Prize Man and the winner of the Bronze Medal. a feat which has been achieved only rarely before in the history of T.C.S. To be both the leader ot' the school, and its top scholar as well, in view of the tremen- dons work and ability necessary for each, is a phenomenal accomplish- ment, and lVArcy cannot be given too much credit for the truly out-

22 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD of Littleside Football and assistant Captain of Middleside Hockey in his Fourth Form year, and in Fifth Form he went on to play Bigside Foot- ball and I-ligside Hockey. ln his final year, Pete quite outdid himself, becoming a member of lligside Football, assistant Captain of Bigside Hockey, for which he won first teani colours, a House Officer and the Class President of VIB. Nevertheless, despite all these time-consuming extra-curricular activi- ties. Pete was still able to maintain a first-rate academic record, and passed his senior matric with an excellent standing. Pete is now in residence at Trinity - we wish him luck as he goes to his first board- ing school! D. D. A. Paget C62-'65J Dave was another of that illustrious breed known as the Fourth Form New Boy, and although fresh from five years at a school in England, he soon re-adjusted to life in Canada, the completeness of this re- adjustment is evidenced by his record at the school. The only pie in which he had no finger was athletics, for he restricted his efforts in this field to League sports. However by Sixth Form he had been made Captain of a Rabbit League hockey team. The crowning achieve- ment to this side of his career was his manager- ship of the memorable Bigside L.B.F. Champion- ship Cricket Team in his last year. In his Fourth Form year David displayed his talent for music in his assistance in the Glee Club, and as assistant pianist for Iolanthe . He was rewarded and encouraged on Speech Day with the Music Prize. This encouragement apparently Worked, for in Fifth Form he became the third School Organist and played for three chapel services. David's literary talent was manifested in unflagging support of the Record. During Fifth Form he aided on the actual Staff of the maga- zine and was awarded a prize for the best poem submitted. In Sixth Form he added greater lustre to his name as Editor of the new Centen- nial Department, and all the while continued his support of the other departments. as is evidenced by his winning of the Gavin Ince Langmuir Memorial Prize for his epic essay on the Evolution of the Record . Throughout his school career the Grease obtained First Class Honours. A brilliant maths student, he placed third in the school in Fifth Form, in the annual Mathematics Contest, a remarkable achievement. Always gifted with a natural bent for languages too, he Won both the VI Form Latin Prize, and the two Sixth Form French Prizes, as Well. David had yet another field of endeavor, an interest in speaking, as is evidenced by his membership in the Fifth Form Quacks , and his Secretaryship of the Senior Political Science Club in Sixth Form. He further extended this interest to include Debating, where he success- fully represented the school against U.T.S. in a first-class debate. As well as this he was a true dramatist at heart, and in Fifth Form he joined the stage staff of The Happiest Days of Your Life , while in VI, he actually joined the Dramatic Society itself. David is now at Queen's, resting comfortably on the Ontario Schol- iirslhip which he so well deserved. We indeed wish him all the best of uc .
