B r e ii t w o o d College Magazine master of Charterhouse School in England. Dr. Fletcher was one of the party of English headmasters who toured Canada, and he gave the School a most in- teresting and enlightening address. At both of the above services, there were a large number of visitors from outside the School, all of whom were delighted and impressed by the Chapel. The School, therefore, can feel justly proud that it has erected so beautiful a building, and, at the same time, should feel fortunate that it has an instructor as skilful and patient as Mr. Haddon. and a director as able as Mr Hope. Chapel Services Among those who have kindly taken services in the Chapel this year were : — Rev. J. S. Bastin ; Rev. F. A. Ramsay; Very Rev. Dean C. S. Quainton ; Ven. Archdeacon Laycock ; Rt. Rev. C. B. Schorield, Bishop of Columbia ; Rt. Rev. B. Doull, Bishop of the Kootenays ; Mr. Fletcher, Headmaster of Charterhouse ; Rev. N. E. Smith; Rev. T. M. Hughes; Rev. B. Gray; Canon Cropper; Mr. S.

Bre n t w o o d Col 1 e g e M a g a z i n e The Chapel DURING the past year, the progress of the work on the Chapel has taken greater strides than ever before. At the beginning of the year the ex- terior of the building was almost finished. It had been entirely stuccoed during the Summer holidays, and the painting was all that was left to be done. This was practically finished by the end of the Christmas term, and then all work was transferred to the interior of the Chapel. Under the able direction of Mr. Haddon, who took Mr. Long ' s place as manual training instructor, the work on the interior progressed rapidly. Dur- ing the Lent term, the inside was all panelled, and was almost completely stained. Towards the end of that term, the carved altar and hangings, the gift of Mrs. B. T. Rogers, were placed in position. During the Sum- mer term, the staining was completed, the Masters ' stalls were put into place, and all the wooden flooring on the platforms was finished. The follow- ing is a list of notable additions to the Chapel, which have either been presented or purchased during the year : — the large stained glass East window, in memory of Edward Dis- ney Farmer ; the carved lectern, the gift of Mrs. D. J. Angus; the furnace; four of the Masters ' stalls, and a number of the boys ' stalls. The work on the rubber flooring has not yet be- gun, and the organ has not yet been presented. But, on the whole, Mr. Hope and the entire staff are very satisfied with the progress that has been made during the year. In the past year, two very beautiful and impressive services have taken place in the Chapel. On the second Sunday before the end of the Lent term, the Confirmation Service, which in former years had taken place in Victoria, was held in the Chapel. At this service, the boys were confirmed by the Rt. Rev. B. Doull, Bishop of the Kootenays, who afterwards gave the School a most helpful and inspiring sermon. During the two weeks prior to this service, the work on the Chapel made amazing strides. The altar was put in, the rafters and beams were stained, and every effort was made to finish the Chapel as nearly as possi- ble. The second service, which is especially notable, was held on the first Sunday of the Summer term, the distinguished speaker being Dr. Fletcher, the head- Page Sixteen

B r e 11 1 w ood Go 11 e g e M a g a zinc The Aero Club DURING the past year, matters in the Aero Club have moved very favourably. The finances were replenished at the beginning of the year by a generous gift of $25 from Mr. Yarrow. This cash has been very wisely spent, the purchases consisting of a book, Jane ' s World Aircraft, as well as many useful and instructive magazines. Other acquisitions to the Aero Club include three propellers, the gifts of Mr. Yarrow and Mr. Archibald, who, at the same time, presented various parts of airplane motors. Roberts also very kindly loaned his radio to the Club, and the clubroom has become a very com- fortable spot, both in winter and summer. i During the year, two interesting addresses have been given to the Club. The first one was from Mr. Gibson, who was himself a pilot during the war. The second talk was from Mr. Collins, a director of the Boeing Aircraft Cor- poration. Mr. Collins invited any of the members who should visit Seattle to take a ride in his own airplane, besides these two addresses, the Club has also had one banquet, at the end of the Christmas term. It was very much enjoyed by everyone, although some rather unpleasant consequences occurred next day ! The officers for the Club, during the three terms, were as follows : — Christmas Term — President, Malkin ; Treasurer, Woods ; Secretary, Moore. Lent Term — President, Frith; Treasurer, Mackenzie; Secretary, Dayton. Sum- mer Term — President, Roberts; Treasurer, Oppenheimer ; Secretary, Hodge. New members for the year are Mackenzie, Hodge, Oppenheimer, Archibald, Roberts, Dayton and Yarrow. On the whole, the Aero Club has proved to be a very pleasant, and at the same time, influential institution. At least six of the members have decided, through the influence of the Club, to enter the profession of aviation, either commercial or military. Page Eighteen
