Brentwood The moonlight shone with splendour bright On Brentwood down, that peaceful night. No echo called, no noise was heard. Not even animal or bird. Silence reigned from far and near. There seemed no person there to hear A sound, should it be made. The time went slowly on, and still No sound was heard on bay or hill. It seemed a spot of perfect peace Forever on, and ne ' er to cease. Then came a crash ! — more noise ! — a shout ! What can it be ? Oh ! prep is out ! J. B. Crommelin. Page Twenty-one

HE third annual Field Day, which took place at the College on Thursday, June 2nd, was a splendid success. Ideal weather conditions enabled a most successful afternoon to be enjoyed by a large number of visitors, amongst whom were His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor and Miss Mackenzie, the Governors of the College, and many of the boys ' parents and friends. The numerous field events were keenly contested and run off in splendid style, thanks to the efficiency of the committee. Mr. Cocks, as usual, acted as starter, while Messrs. Round, Ingham-Hope, Home and Jones acted as judges. The flat races showed good credit to the running ability of the boys, there being little difference in the times of last year. The senior jumping was a trifle better this year than last, but Matthews, the Intermediate champion, still remains the College ' s best broad-jumper. The Inter-House tug-of-war and relay races created as much interest as they did last year, but we missed the original coaches very much. Immediately after the last event, the prize table was brought forward and Miss Mackenzie kindly presented the prizes to the various winners. The Junior Challenge Cup went to Marlatt ma., the Intermediate to Matthews for a second year, and the Senior Victor Ludorum to Pugh and Field, who tied with nine points each out of a possible twenty-one. After the prizes were presented, Phillips thanked Miss Mackenzie for her kindness, on behalf of the College, and presented her with a pretty bouquet of flowers. The visitors then assembled in the Hall, where the staff and boys served them with tea, and later showed them round the buildings. The College band rendered a number of pleasing selections for the benefit of the visitors while the refreshments were served. The music was highly appreciated and many gratifying remarks were made.

Brentwood College Magazine The School Chapel IN spite of financial need and the cessation of all work for a term, progress on the college chapel has been most favourable during the last school year. No work at all was done during the Lent Term, partly owing to lack of sufficient funds, and partly because it was not considered safe working on the roof during such rainy weather, and when we bear this in mind we may be more than satisfied with all that has been accomplished since September. Except for finishing off some of the buttresses, almost all efforts have been concentrated on the roof , and this, in many respects, can be considered as one of the most difficult parts of the whole undertaking. The enormous trusses on which this section of the building rests weigh more than a ton apiece, and each one — there are ten of them altogether — was hauled into position with the aid of only a hand-run windlass. The roof, of course, was begun at the tower and gradually it was pushed on towards the other end of the building, so that before very long, rafters were up all the way along as far as the altar. While the last of these were being put up, V-joint boards, which will be part of the interior of the chapel, were being nailed on at the other end. Although this part of the work is extremely slow and requires the minutest care, a large portion of the roof has already been covered during the eight weeks of the Summer Term. Early in the Christmas Term, hired workmen covered the top of the tower with metal plate — a mixture of copper and zinc — at a cost of some $220.00, and this is the only piece of this year ' s work not done by the boys themselves. With so much of the roof completed already, it is essential not to let it deteriorate in any way during the coming season, and for this reason tenders have already been let for its completion and also for the shingling of the whole area. The type of shingle which has been selected is of asbestos, and red in colour, and although it is a little more expensive than other types, it is a much more durable shingle. This work could doubtless be done by the boys them- selves, but by the time next term comes round, the weather will have had a bad effect on those boards which are up, and as they form part of the interior, the work which has just been mentioned has to be done during the summer holidays. Other work also is to be done during this period. A chimney will be erected on the west side, near the tower ; it will be of red brick, to be stuccoed in time, and will cost approximately $100.00. Six ventilators will be built into the roof in the shape of small gables ; these will be of clouded amber glass, set in lead. Finally, twenty-one windows, ten double and one single, of the same material as the ventilators, will be inserted in the east side, filling up all gaps. This work has been made possible only by anticipating the donations during the next eighteen months. $2,000.00 will cover all costs, and for this sum, members of the Board of Governors are acting as guarantees to the bank. The work undertaken during the summer places the chapel in sore straits financially, and so the need for more funds is greater than it has ever been since the building was commenced in 1924.
