Job Program The job program is new, so it can be expected that there are a few flaws, but other than a few areas the system is working quite well. It is good that everyone should do some work in this area everyday. It tends to make some people more re- luctant to be untidy. Many people need to do a bit of work like this. The real weakness lies in the tidiness of rooms. Maybe if the carpet sweepers worked, this would help to solve the problem. But what can we expect if they are part of the wreck-em derbies in the dorms. Often there isn ' t the co-operation there should be, but with the right supervision this can be kept under control. The workers are not working extra-hard, but they are so great in number that the work-load is spread very thinly. The campus has been espec- ially tidy, but it requires a lot of work. This area should have hand-picked labourers for such a wide range. This system will improve with time and should be working well by next year. Top Left: John Hogarth sweep- ing hall.

New Masters I Mr. Kedwel Mr. Kedwell comes from Labrador City and Goose Bay, Labrador, where he taught French and English for three years. He is originally from Sarnia, Ontario, and he graduated from Huron College and Althouse College of the University of Western Ontario. He moves into top Brent and into the French department following Mr. Lee. He holds a B.A. in French and Latin, and a B.Ed. in the same areas. He has fitted into the Trinity system very well and is devoting himself to the upgrading of the French department. He looks forward to a long and happy association with the school. His interests also extend to squash and cross-country skiing, not to mention carrot-nipping. We wish him the best of luck in his future at Trinity. Mr. Walsh Despite the short time he has been with us, Mr. Walsh hi become one of the more popular members of our belovs teaching staff. Shortly after his arrival he received the nici name of Schnurrbart (German for moustache). He was born in Lindsay, and attended the local high school where he did well, with the exception of science and mall (This is illustrated by his grade 11 math mark, which w only 3% higher than his present age.) j He went to Trent University for three years, spent a ye; in France, and then did his final year at Trent. His impressions of our hallowed institution are favoui able” and he says that he is enjoying it”. He particular! likes the contact with the students” because you get I know them better, which helps you with your teaching.” He describes life in the infirmary as sterile” and quiet but this doesn ' t stop him from indulging in the odd Her ninger,” his favourite beer. When Mr. Wilkinson soared into T.C.S. in his flashy Lotus Elan we all knew he was a man of action. We were right. On his first night on duty he made the rounds and those of us who weren ' t in the proper place, well . . . Obviously he knew the ropes, having not forgotten the tricks he learned as a student here. He has fluttered about, first at home, and then abroad, to obtain his education and teaching ability, then followed his homing instinct and returned to the Hallowed Halls of Trinity. He finds the environment here open and suitable for education and admires the honesty and comradeship of the boys. One of the first things his 3M History class had to learn was how to spell his name correctly. He keeps a sharp eye out for such bird-brained ' mistakes. Mr. Wilkinson is a fair master, but because of his intimate knowledge of the school and its life, it ' s wise not to ruffle his feathers. 8 -School Life Mr. Wilkinso

House Reports s tl tl Bickle House Following an established precedent, Bickle House has, again, the highest prerequisites. All appli- cants for admission should bring at least three recommendations of the highest quality and standing to the Hole in the Wall . (That ' s where they all live, you know.) In the far east wing of this fair domain there is a far left wing — if you get the meaning. Under our new Communist leadership everyone will be equal, and they will do their share of work, and they will like it. Everything is perfume and pansies on middle flat, but it took a minor revolution on top flat to con- vince our new recruits that room 300 IS the control center. On bottom flat scattered skirmishes can still be heard between the Behind the Curtain gang and the patrolling Hole in the Wall gang. Bickle is now settling down to our dominant role in society (Well, somebody has to do it!) Every- thing that should be is, and everything that will be will be, so Bickle is in a new year with new legs, perhaps even stronger than the ones we lost. Although our academic team may lack depth, we did do fine in that field and, as always, Bickle is powerful. Feel the crunch! P.S. — We would like to thank the girl in our lives for her unending support and congratulate her on her eighteenth birthday. We couldn ' t have done it without you Sara. e 3 fl C li 0 h Brent House Starting off the new year, Brent House found itself with a fine crop of insubordinate new boys, and an even finer bumper crop of school prefects. Shunning all responsibilities, these latter left the job of controlling the mongoloid hordes in the top and middle dorms to a small number of overworked house prefects. The hordes, inspired by a Needham in each dorm, and diverse others, have so far man- aged to dunk two house ' fects in the pool, and nearly drown a poor zero. Later, they managed to elude their overseers on a midnight jog on campus, losing themselves on the darkling plains. Newboys Kedwell and Wilkinson have been especially troublesome to the inhabitants of The House, but they seem to be settling in. Far from the noise and dirt of the dorms, Mr. Hargtaft, in a long-awaited decision, appointed Army to head the house. Whether he can control the volume of Northey ' s new speakers before the ancient walls are blasted to smithereens remains to be seen. Surprising though it may seem, the Smokers ' Common Room has not been moved to the four- manner on top flat. Meunier and Wells are getting along with the townsfolk, as usual. Stan the Swinger has moved in, to the freer atmosphere of second flat, and Pete the lectrician is having a whale of a time, having moved in next to the fuse box and elevator. Above, Albert ' s room has been accu- mulating excess rubbish as he has been making less frequent trips with the Cob ' s Club. In general, with all of the enthusiasm characteristic to Brent House throughout the ages, this year should be a good one. HI A 19 K .11 3s . IliiiB IHkXXn, I 10-School Life
