The number of boys has remained very much the same during the past four years and it would be impossible to increase this number without great expenditure upon new buildings and new playing fields. A few minor improvements have been made recently upon the school buildings. A movement might well be started for the construction of an extensive library, the lack of which is keenly felt at the present time. An imposing building, a plentiful supply of books of reference and of good literature, and the provision of a librarian would undoubtedly be very costly, but the present is probably a very good time to consider these needs. Progress in scholastic work has been good throughout the year and the College is fortunate in having no changes on the teaching stafif for the coming September. Since its foundation the school has been very fortunate and successful in all branches of sport, particularly in rugby, rowing, tennis and cricket. Great interest has been taken in the rifle range which was started this year. It is proposed to construct two new squash racquet courts in the near future, but the plans are not quite completed yet. After five years we are pleased to see a steadily increasing number of old boys taking an interest in the school. Letters from them in whatever part of the world they may be, will be very welcome at any time. The Old Boys ' Day was a success this year, but we hope to see the rugger match between the Past and Present much more evenly contested next year. Occasional Jottings The school had the opportunity of listening to several instructive addresses during November last. On the 2nd, Bishop Mowell gave a very interesting address on the work of the Church in China; on the 6th, Major Cuthbert Holmes spoke to the boys in Chapel on the Armistice and showed how, under modern conditions of war, victory is so dearly bought as to be scarcely distinguishable from defeat; on the 16th, Capt. St. Clair spoke on the proper care of our bodies to maintain health. Capt. St. Clair ' s courage in rising superior to his own physical disabilities in itself conveys a most valuable lesson to the school. The lecture given in Victoria by Dr. Alfred Noyes, on poetry in general, was greatly enjoyed by the boys who were able to attend it. R - gby has started examination week fully prepared for the ordeal. He was distinctly observed by a member of the stafT walking to the Gym on the morning of the first paper with a book in his hand. Page Three Brentwood College Magazine At the time of writing these notes an ode by one of our poets entitled the Silver Paper Trail is confidently expected for insertion in this magazine. The thanks of the school are due to Deane, Rigby and Harrison for their most efficient work in providing the school with a cricket pavilion. The school tuck shop has been flourishing under the joint management of Oppenheimer, Weir and Matthews, ice cream and buns being, we understand, the outstanding features. The record in consumption of the latter is still held by B - 11 - chey, with no other competitor within reasonable sight. Some commotion has been caused recently by the discovery of a W-s-m - n twin. The disappearance of this new member of the school has raised some suspicions of foul play. A promising cadet corps under the able leadership of Sgt. -Major C - m - r - n has fallen under a cloud owing to the strains of the regimental band being mistaken for a Sinn Fein rising. A new taste in pets ' developed last year on a rather larger scale than the Natural History Museum kept by M-cSw - n mi. in his locker. A travelling circus provided the material, but two of the proud proprietors must have regretted that their literary studies had not included Kipling ' s The Truce of the Bear. The new stage line is offering good service and the patriotic colour of its buses is much admired by the school. . :fc j(c ;fc i£ The school grass-cutter is perfect in every way but one — it jibs at cutting grass. sjt . ;js jJj ije The lead in the fashion of cultivating a hirsute adornment to the upper lip is ascribed to that well-known arbiter elegantiarum Mr. C. J - n - s. The suggestion that a cricket team be formed at Cobble Hill has been warmly welcomed by several members of our 1st XI as providing them with a match in a locale of exceptional attraction. ijs The Governor-General of Canada visited us on the 17th of April. He showed a keen interest in the school and made a point of seeing something personally of each boy during the short time he was here. His visit was much appreciated by all. On the same day the school was also honoured by a visit of the Rt. Rev. Henry Allen Gray, Bishop of Edmonton. His half -holiday was spent in a most enjoyable manner by the whole school. Page Four Brentwood College Magazine THE closing game of the season found the 1st XV at the top of their form, and for that they deserve special congratulations. Rugby players of Brentwood will do well to bear in mind that now famous game, for it demonstrated what keenness, maintained till the end, will accomplish. It was found difficult throughout the season to arrange games with other schools for the junior fifteens, and the standard of their play suffered in con- sequence. It is to be hoped that our efforts to arrange junior games will meet with greater success next season ; these games are all important in that they are the training ground of our first fifteens. Without early training we cannot hope to turn out great players. Brentwood vs. Victoria High School (Won 19-0) Played October 19th. The initial appearance of our 1st XV was against Victoria High School, on our opponents ' ground. In the first half Robertson went over following a three- quarter run, and Doherty scored after a spectacular break through centre ; the latter try was converted. Tries were scored in the second period by Nickson (2) and Matthews ; one was converted. The game was fast and more evenly contested than the score would indicate. The team played a hard game but it was the threes who, on a field admirably suited to their style of play, were responsible for the one-sided score. Brentwood vs. Victoria College: (Won 19-5) Played October 22nd. Our first opponents in the Intermediate League were Victoria College, whom we played on our own field. In the first half we made four tries. Field opened the scoring with a fine break from their 25-yard line, after which Pugh scored twice and Matthews once; one of these tries was converted. After half-time our opponents rallied and only once were we able to cross their line; this time Page Five Brentwood College Magazine Matthews carried the ball over, Appleton securing extra points. The Victoria forwards were now aggressive and eventually scored against us; the kick at goal was well over. Fumbling by our backs kept us from scoring. Brentwood vs. 16th Canadian Scottish (Won 8-6) Played October 29th. Played at home this match opened in a most disastrous fashion. To begin with, Farrer crashed through our wing, and two minutes later Kinsman scored in the same way ; fortunately for us neither try was converted. We now settled down and before long Pugh went over near the flag and grounded the ball behind their goal ; Mitchell ma. made sure of the kick. Rain then poured down, making the ball very slippery. Throughout the second half both teams battled furiously, mostly within the Scottish 25-yard line, but it was not until two minutes before time that Ferris scored for us the winning try. Brentwood vs. Oak Bay Wanderers (Won 32-3) Played November 5th. Our home match with the Wanderers resulted in a rather one-sided victory over less experienced opponents. The field was dry and in good condition so that our three-quarters had numerous opportunities. In the first half we scored 17 points. After half-time the visiting forwards, led by Miller and Robertson, became more dangerous but failed to check our fast-moving backs. Once, however, they broke through when Miller scored their lone try ; the kick at goal failed. Our tries were scored by Appleton (3), Field (2), Matthews, Dee ma., Nickson ; Appleton converted four. Our forwards and backs combined well, the large score in our favour being the result. Individually our opponents worked hard and against heavy odds played a most sporting game. THE ist xv. Page Six Brentwood College Magazine Brentwood vs. University School (Drawn 0-0) Played November 12th. Our first game with University School took place at Mount Tolmie under most unfavourable conditions, and in spite of a scoreless result it was a fine exhibition. Play throughout the first half was slightly in our favour, although every yard was hotly contested. On one occasion Cooper crossed their line but owing to an infringement no try was allowed; on another, Appleton made a splendid penalty kick which the wind carried off its mark. After the interval, rain poured down in torrents so that play became confined to the forwards. Under these conditions University School with much the heavier pack had the advantage. In the closing minutes of play they made frantic efforts to score; finally two dangerous free kicks were given against us, but no score resulted. Our backs exhibited a sound defence, but owing to the weather they had few opportunities to attack ; to the forwards every credit is due, for by their ceaseless efforts our line remained intact. Brentwood vs. Normal School (Won 33-0) Played November 19th. Normal School, playing a man short throughout, lost to us at Mount Tolmie. Early in the first half Cameron mi. injured his knee and retired, thus evening numbers. After this incident Mitchell ma. kicked an excellent field goal from thirty-five yards out ; this, together with a goal and two tries, brought our total for the first half to 15. During the second half 18 more points were added to our score while Normal School failed to cross our line. There was also another casualty when Rendle of the Normal team wrenched his shoulder and was forced to leave the field. Our backs were in fine form and their good combination was responsible for our large score. Tries were scored by Doherty (2), Matthews (2), Pugh (2), and Appleton; Appleton converted four. Brentwood vs. Victoria High School (Won 8-3) Played November 26th. When we met the High School on our own field they were a vastly improved team. The ground was extremely muddy and the ball too slippery to handle so that play was confined mostly to the forwards. The first half saw our opponents at their best but they failed to penetrate our defence, and at the interval there was no score. At an early stage in the second half Pugh went over near the flag ; the convert failed. All credit for the second try belongs to Matthews ; catching the ball from a long punt he raced over an almost clear field and faked a pass to score behind the posts ; Appleton kicked the extra points. The High School ' s try soon followed ; after a forward rush, culminating in a five-yard scrum, Ford touched the ball down ; the kick was unsuccessful. Their forwards gave a fine exhibition of heeling, but failed in the loose. Brentwood vs. University School (Lost 0-3) Played December 3rd. To decide the winner of the first half of the Intermediate League we had to play University School once more, and we lost after a great struggle. The Page Seven Brentwood College Magazine game took place at the Willows and several large puddles soon made the ball too slippery for extensive three-quarter play. The first half was of a give-and- take nature, neither side having much advantage but both having several anxious moments. Shortly after half-time Pugh made a fine break-away, but was brought down near the line with nobody to whom he could pass. The only score of the game came towards the end. University heeled from a 5-yard scrum, and Tye passed to Skillings, who succeeded in going over ; no convert followed. For the rest of the game we were pressed but our line held. Our opponents, with an advantage of weight in the scrum, had the better of the forward play, while their height told in the line-outs. Our backs seemed the superior but had little of the ball. On the play University deserved their win. Brentwood vs. Oak Bay Wanderers (Won 19-5) Played January 14th. Three days after the Christmas holidays our 1st XV defeated the Wanderers on the High School grounds after a somewhat ragged game. Ten minutes after the start Mitchell scored with an excellent penalty goal ; this advantage we soon lost, however, when Senkler scored and Symons converted for the Wanderers. Shortly before half-time Appleton put us ahead with a good try, which he failed to convert. During the second half our backs showed much better combination. Twice in succession Matthews scored and Appleton converted. The last try was the result of a beautiful three-quarter run in which Nickson finally went over ; the kick at goal failed. The Wanderers were a vastly improved side and for fully half the game they held their own. Brentwood vs. Victoria College (Lost 0-10) Played January 21st. In our return match with Victoria College we were badly beaten. Through- out the first half play was even, but the Victoria side made one try when Hume crossed our line; no convert followed. After the interval Brentwood made frantic efforts to score but without success. Mid-way through the period McMurchie broke well away and again our line was crossed, the attempt for extra points failing; this try was quickly followed by an excellent drop goal from the boot of Mclllmoyl. From then on we pressed but with no result. Our opponents played a heavy seven-man scrum, and their extra back proved a serious handicap to us ; nevertheless, lack of team work was the main cause of our defeat. Brentwood vs. 16th Canadian Scottish (Won 45-0) Played January 28th. This match, although a league fixture, should hardly be taken seriously, for on arriving at Oak Bay Park there was neither referee nor whistle while the Scottish could muster only eleven men. Things were eventually settled with the 16th playing two of our men and Symons and Field each refereeing half the game. From the very outset we attacked; at half-time we had scored 22 points and in the second half we scored 23 more. Tries were scored by Appleton (4), Pugh (3), Mitchell (2), Matthews and McNeill; Appleton converted six. The Page Eight Brentwood College Magazine Scottish, with all their best men on their senior team, were a greatly weakened side, but the cheery way in which they took a bad beating was very noticeable. Brentwood vs. University School (Lost 3-6) Played February 4th. The first Scott-Moncrieff Cup game with University School was played at home, the spectators including the Lieutenant-Governor and Miss Mackenzie. University kicked off and for a minute or two pressed hard. Our forwards soon carried the ball clear and our single try followed when Pugh scored near the flag after a good three-quarter run ; the try was not converted. Two minutes before half-time Gardner scored for the school after following up his own kick; Heaps failed to convert. Shortly after the interval our opponents scored again when Taylor followed a good break by Schmidt ; the kick at goal was unsuccessful. For the remainder of the game play was mostly in their territory, but their line held. Brentwood vs. University School (Lost 3-6) Played February 18th. Once again University School defeated us by the narrow margin of three points, this win giving them the Intermediate Championship. Throughout the first period play was close. Shortly before half-time Tye went over for the School following some good work by his pack ; Heaps failed to convert. From the commencement of the second half Brentwood pressed strongly. After several determined efforts our threes finally broke away and Appleton crossed the School ' s line ; the kick at goal did not succeed. For the rest of the game, play was mostly in our favour, but victory was not for us. With two minutes to go, University made a break at centre which culminated in Skillings going over for the winning try. Brentwood vs. University School (Won 9-0) Played March 3rd. Playing at Mount Tolmie, the 1st XV won decisively in their last Scott- Moncrieff Cup game. With the field in excellent shape, play was fast throughout. Our first score came when Appleton went over after a splendid run ; the kick at goal narrowly missed its mark. The second touch-down came shortly afterwards when Furber broke away to score with the whole pack at his heels ; again the kick for extra points just failed. After the interval, play evened Up and for some time our own line was in danger ; Field finally relieved the situation. A little later came our last try when Cooper went over after following up a kick by Field ; it was not converted. There was no further scoring although Appleton narrowly missed with a drop-kick. Great credit is due to the whole XV for its hard following-up and good team-work, and although our opponents were never out of it there was no doubt on this occasion as to which was the better side. Brentwood vs. The Old Boys (Won 46-8) Played March 17th. This match was a very one-sided affair since many of the better players among the old boys were unable to come. Our first touch-down came within Page Nine Brentwood College Magazine two minutes of the opening whistle and, except for brief intervals, we were hammering at their line incessantly. The score at half-time was 23-5. Tries for us were scored by Field (3), Nickson (2), Martin (2), Appleton, Ferris, Cooper, Green, and Furber ; of these Appleton converted four and Field one. For our opponents Smith and Bryden scored tries, Symons ma. converting one. In spite of their bad beating the Old Boys fought hard and were most sporting in every way, but our combined attacks were more than they could withstand. Playing for the Old Boys were: Symons ma. (capt), Ruttan, Wolfe, Smith, Bryden, Miller, Pease ma. and mi., Hope, Hamersley, Hall, Crease, McCallum, Ives, and Campbell. FIELD (Captain): Took his responsibility seriously throughout the season and set an excellent example of keenness. A player of great ability and determination. PUGH (Vice-Captain): A fast three, very dangerous in attack. Hands sometimes poor. Defence good. APPLETON: A fast and very good wing three-quarter. Tackling has improved tremendously.

Martin Page Ten B r e n t w o o d College Magazine Sailing FTER the very successful season last year, great hopes were held for the present one, but owing to the greater interest in cricket and the addition of single sculling to the category of the summer recreations, these hopes were scarcely justified. Thanks to the great amount of time and trouble taken by Procter, the boats were placed in commission early in March. As there was little to do during the latter part of the Lent Term, great interest was shown in sailing, and the season opened very successfully. Owing to the comparatively narrow stretches of water and the presence of several mountains in the immediate neighbourhood, the winds are neces- sarily uncertain and inclined to come in a series of short gusts. The prevailing winds throughout the sum- mer term are very light, though occasionally a strong westerly wind springs up from the Malahat, when there is an excellent stretch of sailing water between Senanus Island and Willis Point. During the months of October and March these westerly winds occur quite frequently and during those months the boats are in great demand. To prevent accidents from the poor management of the boats no boy is allowed to take charge of a boat unless he has one of two certificates, the first entitling him to sail in a light wind, the second in any wind. To obtain them he has first to sail a boat with either Mr. Grant or Mr. Hope, in a light wind for his first certificate and then in a heavy wind for his full certificate. The master on duty decides whether those holding only a light wind certificate may sail or not. This required knowledge of sailing, coupled with the specified sailing bounds, precludes practically any chance of a serious accident, because the bounds are such that a launch can reach any part of them in ten minutes, while they allow freedom of the best sailing grounds. Captain Lane of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club has presented a challenge cup to be raced for over a course on Cowichan Bay. The first race for this cup was held on June 16th of this year. Mr. Beaumont very kindly towed the boats up with his yacht, the Discovery Isle , and we arrived ofT the Cowichan Bay Yacht Club at 12.15. The race commenced at 1.45, the kittens starting ofT first and the Shamrock and the Snookie at intervals of twelve minutes each. There was a good breeze at first, but just after the leading boats had rounded the windward buoy the wind dropped and a heavy shower of rain fell. Dollar, in the Snookie , was the boat to finish, while the Blue Streak led the boats which were picked up by a launch. After supper Captain Lane presented the cup and the flotilla left at 8.00, arriving back at school at 10.30. Page Eleven Brentwood College Magazine The Raven LONG ago, before civilization reached the Saanich peninsula, there lived at the foot of Tod Inlet an Indian chief, Tzouhalem. His tribe was known to be the strongest on the whole island, but this unhappy man was not ambitious for power. The one thing uppermost in his mind was to leave to his followers an inheritance by which he should be remembered. So it happened that for many years the chief wandered about, always in deep silence, wondering and thinking what he could do, till at last his followers grew worried. A conference of the braves was called and the chief, ignorant of the meeting, happened upon it in session and told them his cares. Followers, my time draws soon to a close. For years I have been ruling and watching over you carefully ; but what am I to leave you ? Senanus, my son, now lies sleeping out on the island that bears his name, and on my death you will be without a chief, or even anything to look up to. Rut let us be happy, for the time has not yet come when my body shall be beside my son, and my soul depart for the Happy Hunting-Ground. Later in the year, when the sun was at the height of its orbit, the old chief embarked in his canoe and headed towards the mountain in the west. When he reached the western shore he pulled his dug-out high on the pebbly beach. Then, unarmed and with a single thought, he climbed the mountain towering high above the waters. By nightfall he had reached his objective, the top of the mountain, from where he could see the red path the sun had left as it sank into its western home beyond the Great Water. The brilliant sun of the morning awoke the old man from his deep sleep. Looking west, he surveyed the vast blue expanse of the Pacific. To the east he could see his own dominion ; a little to the left was the sacred island that held his warriors ; to the right lay his own village ; he could make out clearly the houses. What could he do for his people? If he could only build them a large temple in which he could leave them a replica of himself ! He gazed steadfastly into the depths of the blue heaven, his bent figure searching for help, till, near by, a jet black raven distracted his attention with its croaking. O Black Creature, he said, if you could but have a secret power to carry logs, I would have you carry logs such as grow only in the great forests of the North. Wearily the old warrior made his way back to the village. So deep was his brooding that he failed to notice huge logs, fully fifty feet in length and six feet in diameter, lying in an immense pile on the shore, shaded by dusk. But when the village aroused itself for the daily tasks, they were startled by the sight of the logs. An escort brought the chief to the scene ; he was amazed. The logs ! The raven ! He pieced his thoughts together and it all came back to him. The bird was really his benefactor, and raising both his hands above his head and stretching out his body to its full height he looked up into the sky and cried aloud praise of, the black bird. The wondering crowd gathered from his wild praise what had happened and they, too, joined in the song of thanksgiving. Page Twelve B r e 11 1 w o o d College Magazine At once the men set about the great task of building the temple. In the construction they took a year. The building was to be a lasting memorial of the chief, his son, and the bird who had made the work possible. Great carvings adorned the rough logs and tall totem poles were posted at the corners. Such a beautiful building had never before been built or seen on this picturesque western coast and in the following years it came to be a shrine for every tribe on the coast. Far from the North came warriors to see the shrine that had been built, and when they went back they took with them tales of how a bird had made the great work possible. They in turn found that the raven could help them and they also revered the bird. They placed its figure on top of their totem poles, sometimes in a peculiar shape ; it is that same creature that helped Chief Tzouhalem before white men came to this coast, and that is why, to this day, the raven is still carved on top of an Indian totem pole. D. Edwyn Nunn. The Gift of Spring To earth at last has come the spring, Brightening with flowers field and fen, Transforming with her golden light The very hearts and minds of men. The sun sends down his flashing rays From a vaulted arch of limpid blue, And warms the deep and sparkling sea. Whose waves reflect the dazzling hue. By grove and shady forest pool Where laughing Dryads live secure, Among the beauties of the woods Which often change but still endure ; There, where the angels plant the seeds Of wild flowers which soon will grow, There quietude and beauty make A paradise we all may know. Like Icarus, who sought the sun In a mad flight on waxen wings, So rage we after happiness, And pass it by, in littler things. J. Griffith. Page Thirteen Brentwood College Magazine Rowing THE waterfront of the school has been again this year a centre of great activity and enthusiasm. Rowing has been indulged in throughout the year and sculling, swimming and diving have been practised during the Summer Term. The Rowing Club having seventy boys on its strength was able to supply more equipment for the use of its members. A speed boat capable of moving at twenty-one knots was obtained and crews in training are no longer able to escape from their coaches and develop bad habits and faults of form unchecked. Two single sculling boats were built for the club in Victoria and the art and science of sculling has taken a strong hold on the imagination and interest of the boys ; it is hoped that this branch of watermanship will provide an outlet for the energy of many boys who are of too light physique for sweep-oar rowing. A double sculling pair was bought near the end of the year ; this will enable the club to give more definite instruction in sculling next year. In addition to these new boats, a four-oared shell is being built for us by George Towns of Australia, this being a most generous gift to the club from Mr. Nickson. We have rowed many races this year, and while we have lost more of our outside events than we have won, our crews have shown skill and determination, so that hard, well-fought finishes have left pleasant memories with us all. On Old Boys ' Day we rowed a four-oared race against a crew from the University of B. C, two members of which, Thornton and Smith, were old boys of the school. The school crew, stroked by Cameron mi., rowed an excellent race, winning from their redoubtable opponents by the small margin of 6 feet. Two fours and two scullers represented the school at the Victoria Day regatta at the Gorge. Our junior crew were led by their opponents for the greater part of the course. Pugh ' s quickened stroke in the last 100 yards of the race was so well supported by his crew that the gap was almost closed, the James Bay crew winning by only 3 feet. The senior crew rowed well against a stronger and more experienced crew and lost by about 2y 2 lengths. Pratt, our senior sculler, lost his race after a thrilling finish by two feet and Marlatt was beaten fairly easily by the James Bay junior. the: ist crew Page Fourteen Brentwood College Magazine Some good four-oared races were seen in the inter-form competition, which was won by the Fifth Form. The sculling championship brought out a group of twenty-four scullers and many fine races took place before the finalists, who were to row on Speech Day, were selected. In reviewing the year ' s activity, one looks back with great satisfaction at the keenness and good fellowship shown in the Boat Club this year. Nickson, who has been captain of boats since Furber left at Easter, has been a most energetic and inspiring leader. He has rowed well, coached patiently and worked with a will at the endless task of repairing equipment and maintaining it in serviceable condition. The success of the season ' s activity is largely due to his unselfish leadership. Damages to equipment have made it necessary for some members to spend many hours at the work bench. While most of our members have been willing and anxious to help, there have been a few who have not been sufficiently careful in handling the equipment or eager enough to do their share of the hard work of repairs. Those members are reminded that sportsmanship does not consist in ability to excel in games but rather in playing all games in such a manner that the other fellows ' enjoyment is assured as well as their own. At the close of the year Colours were awarded to the school First Crew, which was composed of Nickson (stroke), Cameron mi. (3), Matthews (2), Strang (bow), Oppenheimer (coxswain). Page Fifteen Brentwood College Magazine Speech Day THE fifth annual Speech Day was held on June 23rd under ideal weather conditions. Between three and four hundred parents and friends were present and a most enjoya ble day was spent by all. Early in the afternoon various aquatic sports took place, Mr. Round ' s House being the more successful in the inter-house events. The mop fight proved to be very amusing, and all competitors found their ability to handle canoes well tried. The following were the sports results : College Tennis Singles Championship (Leeder Cup). Hanbury ma. College Tennis Doubles Championship (MacSwain Cup). Won by Hanbury ma. and Hanbury mi. Sailing Race. Won by Robinson and Procter in the Grey Mouse . Canoe Race. Won by Colthurst and McNeill. Diving (open). Won by Appleton. Senior Sculling Race (Finals). Won by Pratt. Inter-House Four-Oared Race (Hope Challenge Shield and Dickson Cups). Won by Mr. Round ' s House — Nickson, Pitfield, Pugh, Ferris and Oppenheimer. Junior Swimming Race. Won by Rothwell. Intermediate Swimming Race. Won by Malkin. Inter-House Sculling Race. Won by Mr. Round ' s House — Deane. Inter-House Relay Swimming Race. Won by Mr. Round ' s House — Spencer, Malkin, Ferris, Nixon, McNeill and Pugh. Mop Fight. Won by Mitchell mi. and Ballachey. After the various aquatic sports everybody assembled in the Gymnasium for the speeches and the donation of prizes. The Headmaster opened the speeches and attributed much of the success of the College to the able help of his staff and of the Board of Governors. He also explained that he had withdrawn the entries of Brentwood into any leagues in which cups or shields were competed for, because he deemed that greater sportsmanship would be created if games were of a friendly nature, although he uttered the belief that the donators of the various trophies had given them with the best intentions. Lemuel Robertson, M.A., Professor of Classics at the University of British Columbia, expressed his pride in being associated with Brentwood for so long. He delivered a short speech on the motto of the College, de manu in manum, and on the upholding of tradition. His Honour Judge Tampman then related part of the history of his acquaintance with the Headmaster since the commencement of the Oak Bay High School. He gave some valuable advice to the boys which should be of great use to them both before and after leaving school. Mr. P. F. Curtis, Chairman of the Board of Directors, mentioned the magnificent work done on the College Chapel by the boys and expressed the opinion that services would soon be held there. On the Headmaster ' s request he donated a large portrait of himself to the school. The prizes were given away by Judge Lampman, and after the presentation tea was served on the verandah to the guests.

Ode to the New Matriculation Common Room On bleak and freezing January eve. The world seemeth to leave The earthly and become an hoary death, Grotesque and fearful in his garb of snow ; While cruel wind doth howl and fiercely throw The icy pellets on his stinging breath : Then cometh need for cheerful fireside bright, To scatter gloom of winter with his light, While magazines and books do much abound To speed the clock around. On flaming, cloudless afternoon in May, When the world falleth prey To fiery onslaught of the summer ' s birth, When not a stone ' scapeth the searching glare Of knifelike rays, seeming to pierce and tear Into the deepest sinews of the earth : Then cometh need for shelter, dark and cool, Where one may slack each burning, aching limb, And feel refreshed; as though a shadowed pool Had close enfolded him. To such a place the proud fifth-formers swarm, The common room of the matriculation form. Alec. A. Ballachex Page Seventeen Brentwood College Magazine Tennis THE past season has not been so active with regard to match play as in former years, owing to the increased interest shown in cricket. As live of the First Six played on the first cricket eleven, Tennis matches have suffered accordingly. Nevertheless, the majority of the boys have taken to the game as enthusiastically as ever. The doubles ladder was discontinued, but the singles ladder, with over sixty participants, has proved more successful than in former years. In this way we were able to select our First Six, which was composed of Hanbury ma. (Capt), MacSwain ma., Robertson, Yorath, Green and Williams. At the end of the season Wootten won a place on the team, but had no opportunity of representing the College. The school tournaments took place at the end of the Summer Term, with an entry of fifty-nine players in the singles and twenty-nine pairs in the doubles. In the finals, which were played on Speech Day, Hanbury ma. won the singles, while the doubles fell to Hanbury ma. and Hanbury mi. Brentwood was unusually successful in the Provincial Lawn Tennis Junior Championships, played on the courts of the Victoria Lawn Tennis Club. MacSwain ma. won the under-eighteen event, while Hanbury mi. was at the head of the under-fifteen and the under-sixteen classes. This is the first year that Brentwood has been able to win all three events in the Provincial Junior Championships. The only outside match the First Six had was against the strongest team the College has ever faced, and we were fortunate in being able to draw the match. What would have proved a very interesting match against the Victoria Lawn Tennis Club, in Victoria, had to be cancelled on account of rain. TH ist VI. Page Eighteen Brentwood College Magazine Unfortunately, rain also marred the match between a scratch team composed of members of our second and third teams and juniors from the Duncan Lawn Tennis Club. The inter-house tennis match was very closely contested, but was finally won by Mr. Cocks ' House by five matches to four. The following were awarded their First Team Colours : Hanbury ma., MacSwain ma., Robertson, Yorath and Green. Brentwood College 1st VI vs. Mr. Izard ' s Team, at Brentwood. Drawn, 4-4. Brentwood College 1st VI vs. The Staff at Brentwood. Won, 5-0. Brentwood College Scratch VI vs. The Duncan Lawn Tennis Club Juniors, at Brentwood. Drawn, 3-3. HE swimming season has been short this year. Early in the Summer Term the old scow was turned over and re-caulked. Lumber was bought and work parties very rapidly built a diving stage of three tiers. The new boys all passed their swimming tests successfully. On Speech Day some very good races were held. The junior race was won by Rothwell, whose steady side stroke took him ahead of the splashing crawlers. The intermediate race was won by Malkin by a few feet only. The inter-house relay race provided many thrills ; first one team and then the other gained the lead, Round ' s House being a few feet ahead at the finish. The diving competition was won by Appleton. The diving was good, but boys have not shown enough initiative in the development of trick diving and somersaulting this year. Thoughts oj a Roman Catholic when Sunday Chapel Bell Rings The warning bell rings out so clear and free ; The sailing boys come in from off the sea ; The rower homeward pulls his weary way And leaves the world to solitude and me. Even the lordly cricketer must run Down from his sweaty sport beneath the sun, And change from cricket whites to Sunday blue, Not quite deluded that his toil is fun. And soon the noise dies down, and then I hear The oft-repeated hymns of school ring clear. I think high thoughts — until a sudden roar Arouses me. Ah ! supper must be near. Matches Swimming L. S. Herchmer. Page Nineteen Brentwood College Magazine Our Dramatic Society I HAVE been asked by the Board of Governors, Mr. Hope, and all the masters to write a short critical sketch of the Dramatic Society. Therefore I have overcome my usual modesty, feeling this honour was thrust upon me owing to the fact that the President of the Society is my room-mate. The officers of the Society are few, but important. There is an Honorary President, who is, of course, Mr. Hope. Then there is the President, my noble room-mate, whose name happens to be Green and who has a great deal of trouble keeping his moustache trimmed. Following the President is the Hon. Sec- Treasurer, called Susie Young, who parts his hair in the middle and tries to look like Martin Harvey. Next there is a committee of three — Harry Cooper, of Black Crow fame ; Maclaren, of heavy parts, and Matthews, who is a good hurdler. This efficient committee had many a meeting in a room between the Headmaster ' s study and the Masters ' Common Room. What they did in there no one knows except themselves, and my room-mate would not breathe a word. But I noticed one thing, the Hon. President always stayed away. Now I must concentrate on their results, but may I say I sincerely hope I have not given the impression that this is a useless society. Dickens ' Christmas Carol was produced last December with the following caste : Scrooge - - - - - Maclaren Marley ' s Ghost ) T Bob Crachit ----- McRae Ghost of Xmas Future ' lves Nephew ----- Matthews Scrooge when a boy - - Lawson Benevolent Old Gent ) „ u Fan - -- -- -- - Luxton Ghost of Xmas Past f Hanbur y ma - Ghost of Xmas present Mitchell ma. Office Boy - - - - Hanbury mi. Tiny Tim ----- Adamson I need not make further remarks upon this play, except to compliment all the actors, especially Maclaren and the producer, Mr. Round. The play, Charlie ' s Aunt from Alaska, was adapted by Mr. H. K. Cassels and was a burlesque of the original play. It was quite funny, w T ith Dollar the budding comedien(ne). Dollar ' s acting is always very amusing, but he is inclined to carry it a little too much into everyday life. The feminine parts were played by Luxton and MacSwain ma., the latter doing his best to look like Clara Bow, but his voice gave him away. Luxton was so successful as a flapper that embarassing consequences led him to retire from the stage — we hope not for ever. The minstrel troupe was a great success, produced by Mr. Cocks, late of the Albert Hall. Some of the jokes were really funny, especially the ones about the masters; but then jokes about masters always are funny, and the higher t he master the funnier the joke. There were some very amusing songs sung by Pugh, Furber and my dorm-mate, especially the Brentwood College song, which has now become a classic and can be obtained from Leo Feist, beautifully bound in black leather, price 50c. There were also songs by the chorus, accompanied by Mr. Smith. At another entertainment, in the Lent Term, the Society produced the Monkey ' s Paw and the Dear Departed. In the former, the Hon. Secretary and Mrs. Graham Lawson carried through their difficult parts very creditably. Page Twenty Brentwood College Magazine The latter was also a success with Maclaren, Dollar and Adamson carrying the heaviest parts. There was also an amusing skit by Oppenheimer and Malkin, entitled the Eternal Question. The title speaks for itself, especially when one knows that Oppv took the lady ' s part. The entertainment was interspersed with enjoyable musical items. Thanks should also be given to Harrison, Deane, Rigby and Griffith, the scene makers, who so ably made pieces of canvas look like other pieces of canvas and the cook ' s electric fan sound like the North Wind. And now I think I ' ve said enough. May I close with the hope that the Society will have as much success in the years to come as it has had this year. But it will have to go a long way — that is to Procter, Cranbrook or Cambridge — before it will get another such President. R. J. ApplETon. Music Notes THE musical activities of the school have been sustained through the stress of the school year at about their usual pitch. The original school orchestra was disorganized by the loss of Davenport, but, with Mr. Smith at the piano, gave a good account of themselves at the Christmas and Easter entertainments. The original orchestra consisted of Davenport (piano), Nunn (saxophone), Allen (cornet) and Campbell (drums). At the Easter entertain- ment Gray ma. and Mr. Smith played piano duets and Budden gave us a realistic sketch entitled In a Monastery Garden . Another junior orchestra, composed of Oppenheimer (piano), Steward (saxophone), Smyth (banjo), Clute (drums) and Rogers (cornet), has been putting in a great deal of practice recently and we expect to hear from them in public next year. The College is indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Butchart for allowing boys to visit their beautiful gardens at any time. Page Twenty-one Brentwood College Magazine The Chapel IN last year ' s school magazine reference was made to the desire of the committee in charge to complete the roof before the winter rains and also to erect a chimney and to build six ventilators into the roof in the shape of small gables. This work was completed during the summer holidays by the firm of Lemon Gonnason of Victoria, and consequently our funds were exhausted. The roof could doubtless have been completed by the boys them- selves, but a speedy completion of the work was necessary to protect the inside of the building from the bad effects of the winter weather. The next step was to complete the outside of the building, and this involves the windows and the window-frames. During the year the windows for the east side of the Chapel were purchased and these will be put in place as soon as work recommences in September. There are twenty-one of them, ten double and one single, all clouded amber glass set in lead. The total cost of these windows was about $840 and was met by donations received during the year. A sum of $2,500 has been received on loan from the Chairman of the Board of Governors and this, together with the total donations to date, has enabled us to cover the total expenditure with a little over $1,000 on hand with which to recommence work next term. We are more than satisfied with what we have accomplished, but the need for funds with which to pay off the loan of $2,500 is very great. Subscriptions from the following parents and friends of the College have been received for the Chapel Fund by the Chapel Fund Committee since September, 1927, when we launched our last appeal : Mr. Harrison, Mr. Kirk- patrick, Mr. Wright, Martin, Mr. Frith, Mrs. Kirkpatrick, Mr. Ballachey, Mr. Lawson, Dee ma., Mr. Symons, Mrs. Luxton, Hanbury ma. and mi., MacRae, Mr. and Mrs. Fogg, Mrs. McNeill, Mr. Gadd, Mrs. Weld, Mr. and Mrs. Griffith, Mrs. Shallcross, Major Rigby, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Hanbury, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Nu nn, Mr. and Mrs. Angus, Mr. Archibald, Mrs. Yorath, Mr. Farmer, Mrs. Curtis, Mr. Curtis, Major Holmes, Dr. Green, Mr. Pitfield, Anonymous. Three memorial windows have already been suggested, one of which has been donated by Mrs. Leeder in memory of her mother. In addition to these three windows, the Chapel Fund Committee is endeavouring to obtain sufficient funds from the Old Boys to insert a window and tablet in memory of Pat Taylor. The following boys have already contributed to this worthy cause, but nearly $50 more are required to purchase the window : K. W. Symons, G. N. Kirk- patrick, Brett-Anderson, E. E. Curtis, C. H. Ruttan, R. C. Brindley, H. L. Hammersly, H. L. and C. R. Beairsto, Halet, Morse, Anonymous. Chapel Fund from January, 1924, to June, 1928: Total Donations Total Expenditures $6,122.69 7,276.75 Debit Balance $1,154.66 Page Twenty-two Brentwood College Magazine The excess of expenditures over donations ($1,154.66) has been met by a loan of $2,500.00 from Mr. Curtis, the Chairman of the Board. Of this loan a balance of $1,345.94 remains on deposit in the Bank. With the exception of the above loan there are no further accounts payable. The premium for another year ' s fire insurance and the account for fourteen windows, have been paid. By special request we repeat Rigby ' s poem, published last year : O glorious building, thou whom we have made With careful, loving hands unmarred by lust Of riches. Thou wilt stand when we to dust Are long returned. For ever unafraid The tempest thou for many a long decade Wilt boldly face, and countless ages o ' er Thy hoary head will pass. That rugged tow ' r Will long remain ; ne ' er will thy glory fade. O what a wondrous work i t is, with care And hopes profound now built — as in the past When men for love did build cathedrals fair Wherein to worship — and in prayer at last Found happiness. I pray that we may share A portion of this glory which has passed. C. P. Rigby. Page Twenty-three Brentwood College Magazine OUR last year ' s vice-captain, Appleton, was elected captain and Robertson vice-captain for the season 1928. With seven of the 1927 eleven still available, the team proved to be exceptionally strong, and so a number of games were arranged with senior teams in addition to the usual school matches. In spite of this our First XI were undefeated at the end of the term, having won twice at the expense of Cowichan, two matches with the University School, one against each of the Albions, Public School Boys, and Oak Bay High School. The all-day match against a Mainland XI in Vancouver was left drawn in our favour after a day ' s excellent cricket. Throughout the season the fielding of the team was remarkably good, the catching, perhaps, being a little better than the ground fielding. In batting, Robertson, who had shown great promise in 1927, lived up to expectations, while Hanbury mi., the youngest member of the team, proved himself one of the most consistent scorers. Our bowling strength depended mainly on Mitchell, who gave several excellent performances. These players were ably supported by the other members of the team, who each have very creditable records in ' their respective spheres. Our Second XI played five matches, defeating the University School twice, the Shawnigan Lake School twice and losing to the Oak Bay High School when they tried to take the place of the First Eleven. The Third or Junior XI, in which we find some promising young players, shared the honours in two matches with the 2nd XI from Shawnigan Lake School and were defeated by St. Aidan ' s School. Page Twenty-four Brentwood College Magazine During the first week of the summer holidays the 1st XI is making a tour, playing their first match at Nanaimo on June 30th and then travelling to the Okanagan, where most of the matches will take place. Cricket Characters APPLETON (Captain): A fine all-round player. As a bat he did not settle down to give his best, but he played several good innings and can hit very hard. A useful change bowler who can keep the runs down, and a good field in any position. The fine cricket spirit of the team has been largely due to his able captaincy. ROBERTSON (Secretary): A reliable bat with plenty of reach and hitting power. His best innings were played rather cautiously. When he learns to force the pace without merely swiping he will be very effective. A good, though rather an expensive, slow bowler and a magnificent field in any position. He has filled the position of Secretary satisfactorily. MITCHELL ma.: By far the best bowler on the team; he can swing away and break back very sharply. On his day he would trouble the best batsmen. A lusty hitter who needs luck to get started, but then watches the ball well. His forty-four, not out, when he went in last and runs were badly needed, deserves special mention. A moderate field with a strong throw. HANBURY ma.: A stone-wall type of batsman who makes a good opener and who can punish short balls. He usually gets himself out by trying to hit the one pitched up. An uncertain field. GREEN: An unorthodox aggressive bat whose success is due to determination and a good eye. A medium-paced bowler who comes off the pitch a little faster than is expected. A very safe catch. YORATH: Has taken to wicket-keeping surprisingly quickly. He stops well and is very alert for any chance to catch or stump. With the bat he has not had the success he deserves, for while he has some pretty scoring strokes, his defence is weak. WILLIAMS: Has not done himself justice, though on two occasions he made useful scores when needed. Is inclined to pull and draw away, though he can stand up when in the mood. A good catch who could be used as a bowler if required. THE ist XI. Page Twenty-five Brentwood College Magazine HANBURY mi.: A very promising young batsman with a really good forward stroke and some idea of cutting. He has also a good eye for loose ones on the leg, but is a little stiff and clumsy to slow bowling on the wicket. A fair catch. WOOTTEN: Was first played for his splendid fielding, especially in the deep, where he catches with unusual sureness and stops and throws well. He has become also a fair defensive bat and shows promise of further improvement. PUGH: A good bowler with sufficient speed and swing-in to be really dangerous while he keeps a length, but he tires easily. As a fielder he is rather erratic. HARRISON: Shows promise of becoming a good bat; plays straight and aggressively but has not yet had much success. A good catch, but his ground fielding is often spoilt by over-keenness. SYMONS: Shows good form with the bat, but is very uncertain in his first few overs. His two fifties for the Second earned his Colours as the twelfth man. Rather slow in the field, but can be used as a change slow bowler. Averages Batting Rank Name No. of Innings Times Not Out Total Score Highest Score Average 1. Robertson 10 1 230 50 25.5 2.

Brentwood College vs. University School Played June 7th. Won. University School Brentwood College Brentwood College Magazine Old Boys ' Notes 112 St. George Street, Toronto, March, 1928. To the Editor, Brentwood College Magazine. Dear Sir: — I am sorry I ' ve been such a bad correspondent this year. Perhaps my best excuse is that I ' ve really been busy. My exams, start in less than a fortnight, which isn ' t a very bright prospect. This year I ' ve enjoyed the life very much at Toronto in spite of a rather heavy course. There are always so many things to do all the year that one can seldom complain of being dull. This season, as I am manager of the Varsity Rugger Team, I had a great deal to do before Xmas as the season lasted much longer this year. Rugger isn ' t a very popular game in Toronto with the regular Canadians. There are several clubs in the city which give us some competition, but they are chiefly composed of Britishers. Recently, an English Public Schools ' and Universities ' Club was formed here and they are going to raise a team next winter, so that should help. We played McGill, and when up there I saw Redpath, Stirling, Scotty and Playfair. The former two played for McGill down here in the return match. I joined a very good fraternity my first year and am very glad I did. One gets to know a great many more people than one would if in digs somewhere. It is really, I suppose, the American substitute for the English college. You meet fellows from every Faculty and you meet their friends. Last Xmas I had a wonderful time in Ottawa, where I was staying with some friends. We did a fair amount of skiing. It is a great sport. This summer I am going on a geological survey with Capt. Odel, of whom you probably have heard. He is very keen on mountain climbing and was on the Mount Everest expedition in 1924 — the last man to see Mallory and Ewing before they were lost. We are going to work in different parts of Ontario and so I should see quite a lot of the country and the life in the mining districts. From what I ' ve gathered from lectures, by several quite important men, there should be a large boom all over Canada in the next quarter-century. Apparently Canada ' s natural resources are enormous, and although we have gone ahead wonder- fully since Confederation and extracted millions worth of metals, etc., we really haven ' t tapped more than a very small fraction of Canada ' s great treasures. I hope industry will go ahead as fast as expected. It will mean a great deal for the engineer- ing profession. At Varsity, among the eight engineering departments, perhaps the electrical, mechanical and chemical are the most popular lines. It seems that civil engineering is not being proportionately patronized. This is odd, as it is perhaps the most general course of them all. The great thing, I believe, is to get a broad and general training here rather than to specialize before graduation. If you specialize too soon, you are not adaptable enough to a change in your career later. This would be rather a good line to take up as there must be a large demand for civil engineers shortly if so few are graduating in it now. I have been trying to collect some news for your Old Boys column in the Magazine . I wrote to Playfair to ask for the latest about O. B ' s in Montreal and I enclose his reply. My news from Toronto isn ' t nearly so voluminous as his. I ran into John Reade a month ago. He is with the Metropolitan Life in Waterloo (Ontario) and is doing well. I don ' t see very much of Beevor-Potts. He is in 2nd Year Medicine and always seems to be hard at work and should get honours again this year. I don ' t recall hearing or seeing his name connected with any athletics yet. The only thing I ' ve managed to do so far is to have been elected Captain of the Varsity Rugger Team for next year. I must close by wishing your issue of the Magazine this year will be as good a one as the 1925 edition! Yours sincerely, R. M. B. ROOME. Page Thirty-one Brentwood College Magazine A Few Notes Jrom McGill With the advent of Malkin this year there are now five Old Boys at McGill. Stirling is in his third year of Science and is expected to reach his final year without difficulty in the spring. He played rugger this season as forward and will get his M as a result of McGill ' s hard-fought victory over Toronto. Stirling is living at Strathcona Hall, a building close to the campus used for the residence of McGill students. Scott-Moncrieff, who is doing well in third year Commerce, did not turn out for rugby this year, but is an enthusiastic skier and also plays hockey for his fraternity, the Alpha Delta Phi. He distinguished himself by taking an important part in a Gilbert and Sullivan production of the Choral Society, displaying his vocal powers to a large audience in a Montreal theatre. Playfair is in his second year in Commerce and is doing his best to be optimistic about the spring exams. He was unable to turn out for rugger this season, as an injured hand kept him away until the season was over. He is at present rooming with Stirling at Strathcona Hall and keeps him busy with mathematical problems and doubtful music from a mouth organ. Redpath, who arrived last year and joined the Zeta Psi fraternity, played a great game of football this season as a wing forward, and in consequence will get his M : he quite lost his Brentwood reputation by completing the season without any serious battles with opposing forwards. Redpath is in his second year of Science and plugging along steadily with the ultimate goal of becoming a mining engineer. Malkin followed in the footsteps of Scott-Moncrieff and Playfair by going into Commerce. He was lucky enough to escape freshman initiations by getting straight into second year from Brentwood, though he is taking one first year course as well. A ' short time after his arrival here, Malkin became a flourishing member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, where he is now living. G. N. Money, of Qualicum, is now manager of the Qualicum Beach Hotel. The Editor acknowledges with many thanks a letter from R. Brindley, whose address is 1990 E. Orange Grove, Pasadena. He seems to be flourishing in a business house in California. Lack of space prevents printing the letter in these columns. M arriage Edward Lea Curtis (1923-6) to Miss R. Ballowe, at Washington, D. C, on Monday, the 9th day of April. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis will make their home in Boston, Mass. What ' s Become of It ? Page Thirty-two Brentwood College Magazine Chapel Services The following clergy have preached at the College during the year : The Right Rev. C. B. Schofield, Bishop of Columbia ; The Very Rev. Dean C. S. Ouainton ; The Ven. Archdeacon Laycock ; Rev. J. S. A. Bastin ; Rev. W. Carroll; Rev. F. C. Chapman; Rev. N. E. Smith; Rev. H. T. Archbold ; Rev. T. M. Hughes ; Rev. A. E. de L. Nunns ; Rev. H. V. Hitchcox ; Rev. T. Bompass. The school regrets that the Rev. W. Carroll and the Rev. H. T. Archbold have recently left the district. The former took a particular interest in the boys at Brentwood and we tender him our best wishes for the future in his new sphere of influence in England. Before his departure he left on loan to the school the communion vessels which we use in Chapel and which were used throughout the Great War, in France. Several collections for St. Stephen ' s parish and one for the Near East Relief Fund were taken in Chapel during the year. A Dying Race Over the waters of Brentwood Bay Came the slow, monotonous sound Of an Indian tom-tom, beaten in time By the warriors gathered around. It made me think of the days gone by When the Indian was supreme ; Master of every hill and dale, Forest, meadow and stream. He hunted in all these evergreen glades, And fished in each silvery brook, He was always at war with a neighbouring band. And was known by the scalps he took. But now though his fighting days are done, Though the war-cries sound no more, Though his bow gives place to the white man ' s gun, Still, the drums are heard on the shore. For though his physical might declines, And he lives no more as of old, The mystic tom-tom speaks by the sea, A reminder of warriors bold. D. G. Harrison. Page Thirty-three A f£YT BRZlCTYCQQb CHARACTERS Brentwood College Magazine Badminton GREAT interest was shown in Badminton by the whole school during the winter months. The College entered a pair in the Up-Island Tournament and these boys made quite a good showing. Three pairs were also entered in the Vancouver Island Tournament, and Williams, partnered with Mrs. Freeman of Vancouver, was successful in the mixed handicap event. Near the close of the Lent Term an annual school tournament was held in both doubles and singles. Yorath and MacSwain ma. were the winners of the doubles, but, owing to an unfortunate accident, the singles was unable to be finished. Two interesting matches were held against various Victoria teams, both at the College and at the Drill Hall in Victoria. The College won one and lost one. The team was as follows: Yorath (Capt.), MacSwain ma., Williams, Salter, Matthews, Ives, Cooper. The Bitter End 9.30 A cry is heard: Stop talking now. Silence. That ' s the last warning. It means we must make no more row But lie here quiet till morning. 9.45 I hear a rustle of paper enwrapping. A smell of roast chicken pervades the air. A dorm-feed never yet caught me napping; By George, I ' ll try for a share. 9.50 Not a sound is heard as I cross the way And settle to feed on the floor ; But a prefect, too, knows the dorm-feed day, So he comes and stands at the door. 9.55 A sound is heard a little bit later, Like a distant shot, I was told ; And from it I gathered this valuable data: Never be overbold. 10.00 The noise that was heard by my listening comrades Was the crack of the prefect ' s cane. No more for me such night parades ; Too often they end in pain. E. J. Symons. Page Thirty-five B r entwood College Ma g a z i n e Rifle Shooting EARLY last year, in the Michaelmas Term, a long-felt want at Brentwood was filled by the formation of a Rifle Club. A meeting of those interested was held, a committee was chosen, and soon work was commenced on the construction of a shooting range beneath the gymnasium. The work was slow and difficult, but after a month of genuine hard labour the range was completed and the boys who had so willingly given their time and efforts to the task were rewarded. The club became a member of the Dominion Rifle Association, and under the excellent coaching of the boxing and fencing instructor, Mr. Roper, soon turned out some finished marksmen. On the completion of the range a large number of new enthusiasts arrived, and, with the steady progress of the club and its members, rifle shooting soon became one of the major indoor sports at Brentwood. The committee who directed the affairs of the club, under the supervision of the Headmaster, was composed of Davis, Elmore, Herron, Field and Cameron mi. The committee was fortunate in securing also the guidance of a prominent member of Canada ' s Bisley Team, Major F. R. Richardson, R.G.A., O.B.E. Owing to the help of Major Richardson, some of the boys were able to go to the Heals Rifle Range to fire with the heavier type of arms. Major Richardson, however, was forced to leave Victoria early in the season, so that this practice was discontinued for the term. While at Heals for the first time, Davis and Colthurst did some remarkable shooting at the 500 yard range, Davis making a possible with three rounds and Colthurst making two bulls and an inn er with three rounds. The first possibles of the season were made by Oppenheimer and Hougen in the indoor range, while the following qualified for and received their gold medals from the Dominion Rifle Association : Gray mi, Malkin, Oppenheimer, Dee ma. and Davis. There was also a large number of other consistent marks- men and competition among the boys for the different medals was very keen. It is hoped that by next year we shall be in a position to establish an equally successful outdoor range somewhere in the vicinity of the golf links. Page Thirty-six Brentwood College Magazine Fishes ' Tis evening as the lengthening shadows creep Across the lake, by lonely heights surrounded, A lake where silver fish have long abounded, Molested not in waters dark and deep. The mountains stretch forth skywards, green and steep, Their wooded slopes by walls of silence bounded ; The whirr of startled duck one moment sounded Across the mere, but now ' tis still as sleep. A splash. Another. More, until the lake Shimmers with tiny ringlets. Why? The trout Are feeding. Watch their noses rise and take The loitering fly, then swiftly turn about To rise again. The shades the mountains make Are gone. In silence daylight passes out. W. B. Gray. Page Thirty-seven B r e 11 1 w o o d College Magazine Addenda At time of going to Press, the results of the Junior and Senior Matriculation Examinations of the University of British Columbia were published. Our congratulations to the Pass Men . A comparison with the summary of last year shows a much larger number of complete or partial matriculation standing than last year. Two boys were unfortunate enough to be ill on one of the days of the examination. The Headmaster, though pleased with the results as a whole, is distinctly disappointed with the showing of four or five boys. Gradk XII. SENIOR MATRICULATION (1st Year University) P=Passed.
