The Librarian, Trinity College School, Port Hope, Ontario. Dear Sir: I found the enclosed book while I was walking near the river here in Londong and although, I fear. it is in a rather poor state. I return it with the hope that it still may be of some use to your library. Knowing something of the expense incurred in book replacements. I trust that a new cover and a little glue will return this excellent book to at least a readable state! Yours faithfully, . H. W. H.

Law- rence who retired last June. Mr. Gleed went to Appleby College for six years and then spent a year at Malvern. After working for two years at the Bank of Commerce. he then worked a year for the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. After these three years, Mr. Gleed decided to enter the church. lle at- tended McGil1 for three years, taking a theology course. In 1959 he was ordained, and appointed to St. Mark's Parish in Toronto, where he helped with a youthful gang called the Saints . In March he was transferred to St. Aiden's Church in Toronto. Shortly after this appointment, he was asked to be Chaplain at T.C.S. In the short time that he has been with us, he has become very popular with all the boys both in the classroom and out on the playing field. Although his Middleside League team didn't win the championship, the boys all enjoyed playing under him. To the Rev. Keith Gleed we extend our best wishes, and hope that his stay here will be both long and enjoyable.
