Oxford Cup lis year ' s Oxford Cup race was run on a cold, ast day in mid-November. It had rained the | before and the 4.2 mile course was slippery, hundred and fifty-one nervous competitors up on the railroad grid. This was the largest •ring in years and at 2:15 they were off. All pre- ?ived notions of setting an easy pace were inn- ately forgotten as the mad throng dashed up Glen Road. The racers began to spread out as i came out of the first fields and headed towards 01. Northey, Chalmers, Martin and Payne were ig the pace at the mid-point. From above, the must have looked like a mile long piece of wind- sstring. After 23 minutes, it was Chalmers, of e, leading Northey, of Brent, down the back :h and at the end it was Chalmers over Northey 1 seconds. Final Positions l-Chalmers 25:00 Bickle 2-Northey 25:31 Brent 3-Payne 25:34 Brent 4-Martin, P. 25:48 Brent 5-Manny 25:53 Bethune 6-Bryson 26:10 Bickle 7-Suche 26:55 Ketchum 8-Southey 26:58 Brent 9-Milne 27:03 Ketchum 10-Entwisle 27:15 Brent Northey nears the end.

Milk Meet On November fourth about thirty boys ventured to the Gardens in Toronto and witnessed a colourful and inspiring show of world class gymnastics. Represented were competitors from Russia, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, Great Britain, the U.S.A. and of course, Canada. The competitions in both men ' s and wo- men ' s classes were ones of which all the skills of the gymnasts were tested. The scoring was based on a number of events including such feats as the horizontal and uneven bars. All the competitors were fantastic gym- nasts and it was a close competition all through the meet. However, at the end, the gymnast from Germany took the men ' s competition and to the enjoyment of the crowd, Canada took the first place medal in the women ' s division. Everyone who went really enjoyed him- self and we re all looking forward to next year ' s Milk Meet. It will probably be even better than this year ' s, if that is possible!

For the past several years, a report of the School Convocation has not been included in the Record. In keeping with our theme of change, however, we feel that it should be included this year. Many changes have taken place in the Convocation and we hope that the report will help encourage new members to get involved. As Latin scholars will know, convocation means, a calling together . In our case it is a calling to- gether of people with an interest in the school. Convocation is made up of all old boys, parents, masters and friends of the school. All of these people are automatically members. The function of the T.C.S. Convocation is to en- sure that T.C.S. is able to operate properly in matters, not concerning so much the students themselves, but with the business side of the run- ning of the school. For example, the Board of Gov- ernors are the legal owners of the school, and they handle any problems concerning its properties. Since T.C.S. is a private school, it receives no funds from the government. The Convocation, therefore, organizes the raising of money to assist in the running of the school. The fees paid by parents alone would not nearly cover the expenses the school incurs. This year ' s Annual General Meeting of Convo- c ation was held on Saturday, October 18th. The attendance was below normal, but the reasons for this were put to poor weather conditions and the fact that there are many new parents who may not have realized their role in Convocation. The meeting was opened by Mr. J.W. Kerr, the Execu tive Secretary, who made some general on this year ' s meeting. The Chairman of the erning Body, Mr. E.J.M. Huycke, then said a words on what the school Convocation is re sponsible for. At this point, thirteen new governors elected to the Governing Body. This was where major change occurred, the election of two men, Mrs. E.B.M. (Nancy) Pinnington of To and Mrs. E.F. (Louise) Willis of Winnipeg, Governors. This was the first time that womer had held this position in T.C.S. history. Mr. E. Howard, Chairman of the T.C.S. Fund made a financial report of the school f or the 1974 1975 year. The Headmaster gave his report on hew the school itself is shaping up this year. Things generally looked favourable. The Ladies Guild report, put forth by the Pres] dent of the Toronto Branch of Ladies Guild, M J.B.S. (Wendy) Southey, outlined the purpose ai importance of all branches of the Ladies Guilj She also commented on the increasing success the Clothing Exchange, formed several years age The meeting was adjourned by Mr. Kerr. The importance of the School Convocatior cannot be stressed enough, even though its worl goes uncredited by the boys. We hope its mem bers are able to continue its good work in the future and that more of its members may beconw actively involved in the T.C.S. Community. 16 -School Life
