Brentwood College Magazine Editorial IT IS hoped that the publication of the second issue of the College Magazine will fulfil in some measure the expectations of all who have looked forward to a continual progress in its standard. This year we have been able to in- clude more stories, poems and sketches than before. We have to thank the Head- master for his kind gift of prizes to be awarded for the best short story, the best original poem and the best set of drawings. It is every boy ' s privilege to see that the standard of our magazine never falls below the ideal we cherish for it — a memorial of our doings here, engraved with our thoughts in prose and verse. As was expected, at the beginning of the present year the school increased in numbers to its full capacity of one hundred and ten boarders. To provide the best accommodation for them several new buildings may be erected in the near future. A rapid increase in the music list has necessitated the construction of a separate sound-proof building, and work is to be begun on this immediately. Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter. Owing to a lack of funds, the progress of our much-needed Chapel has not been very rapid this year. When complete this structure should be very imposing, as an excellent site has been selected for it on a small hill to the west of the Col- lege. Four new tennis courts have been greatly appreciated this summer. We regret we were unable to hold our Sports Day in June this year, as the grounds are at present being levelled and extended. A considerable amount of labour and money has been expended this term in putting the new grounds into shape, and in September the School should be very fortunate in having ample first-class playing fields. On the whole, the past year has been a very successful one for the College in many ways, and in particular it should be justly proud of its record in sports, as one may judge from the following pages. The editors of this magazine very much desire to keep in touch with ah boys who are leaving Brentwood this year, and we ask them to let us know of their doings elsewhere and to make use of these pages for any interesting contributions which they may care to send in. We wish them Good Luck in their present examinations and in their new spheres of activity hereafter. R. M. B. RoomE J. C. Eustace G. Playeair J. A. Macaulay P. S. Taylor K. D. Creer H. Haskamp L. S.
