Brentwood College Magazine Ode to a Tie Oh ! some may long for the soothing touch Of lavender, cream, or mauve, But the ties I wear must possess the glare Of a red-hot kitchen stove. The books I read and the life I lead Are sensible, sane, and mild ; I like calm hats and I don ' t wear spats, But I like my neck-ties wild. Oh ! give me a wild tie, brother, One with a cosmic urge, A tie that will swear, and rip and tear When it meets the old blue serge. Ah ! some will say that a gent ' s cravat Should be only seen, not heard, But I want a tie that will make men cry And render their visions blurred. I yearn, I long for a tie so strong It will take two men to tie it. If such there be, just show it to me, Whatever the price, I ' ll buy it. Oh ! give me a wild tie, brother, A tie with a lot of sins, A tie that will blaze in a hectic haze Down where the vest begins. E. Simpson. Page Thirty-one

Brentwood College Magazine Music Notes The music class has reached 1 such proportions that a separate building, equipped with sound-proof rooms, is to be constructed in the immediate future. During the past year the class has consisted of thirty piano pupils. Great interest has been shown and good work accomplished. Sight-reading, so essential to the practical musician, has especially improved. Besides the piano, the violin, cornet, saxophone and mandolin have been studied with gratifying results. An orchestra of seven pieces has been formed and through the generosity of the Governors of the College a Ludwig No. 1 professional drum and trap outfit added. Up to the present the orchestra has confined its efforts mostly to dance music and could give an excellent account of itself in any ballroom, but in the future, compositions of a more serious character will be studied. We congratulate them on their work and hope to be frequently entertained by them during the coming Winter. THE COLLEGE ORCHESTRA H. Haskamp F. Coleman L. Scott-Moncrieff R. E. J. Gray R. Brindley E.

AS the playing field is being enlarged, levelled and otherwise improved, we have been forced to arrange all our matches away from home this season. L Our 1st XI won the Wednesday League and a slightly weaker team did fairly well in the B division Saturday games. We are fortunate in having five of last years ' colours available, in addition to the masters, for it is almost impossible this year to hope to develop new talent. Creer is again captain and is well supported by Farrer, vice-captain, and Scott-MoncriefT, secretary. Brentwood vs. University School (Won) In this, our first game in the Wednesday League, University found the bowl- ing of Bryden and Capt. Dormer quite frightening, while six of our batsmen, led by Creer, reached double figures to give us an easy victory, 106 against 19. University School Mr. Howden, b. Bryden....... R. Tye, c.
