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 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.

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.
