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.

Brentwood College Magazine Occasional Jottings The visit from two members of the All Blacks was much appreciated by the school. After luncheon Judge Aitchison gave us a most interesting account of the Maoris, their origin and customs. It is hardly necessary to say that all the boys watched the All Blacks match in Victoria with the keenest interest. We are indebted to our kind and generous friend, Mr. Curtis, for a set of books which he has presented to the Library : ' The World ' s Famous Orations. Several books have been presented by boys, and we gratefully acknowledge their gifts. We should like to see every boy present at least one book a year, but encouragement must be given to would-be donors. No one cares to think that his gift may serve as a missile. As a School we have still to learn to handle books properly. We have been honoured by visits from two Bishops during the year. The School, is always glad to welcome an Episcopal visitor. Is it invidious to say that we also enjoy the resultant half-holiday? On Good Friday, Taylor won the Junior Road Race in excellent time for the four miles ' course. He shows promise of being a very fine runner. He also won the 220 yards under 18 at the Willows Gymkhana. We shall probably hear of his performances on the cinder track when he leaves College. We are grateful to Mr. Butchart for the renewal of his permission to visit his gardens on Sunday afternoons. The School appreciates the privilege highly. The journey to Victoria by motor car has been lengthened — in time, not in distance. The speed-cop is an active, and sometimes unexpected, user of the West Road. The greatest treat of the year was the lecture given by Col. Broome on the British Round-the- World Flight. To hear a member of the party tell, quietly and unassumingly, that wonderful story of pluck and perseverance gave a thrill which will never be forgotten. We are immensely indebted to Col. Broome. During the Winter term we enjoyed several excellent films in our private Cinema. Next year we hope the suppliers may be induced to send less antiquated rolls, as our tastes are really quite up-to-date. The School possesses quite a fleet, from the humble dug-out to the lordly Evinrude. We look forward to seeing it to great advantage when the Aquatic Sports take place. The spice of life is added to by frequent excursions and alarms to rescue vessels in distress. Perhaps longer painters would prevent this. A piece of string is hardly adequate. Page Four
