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

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. V. Ware ; Kyrle Symons, Esq. ; Rev. E. Clayton : Rev. F. Comley. Page Seventeen

ONLY six matches were played this year, two of which were won and four lost. For the first time in seven years the weather has been troublesome and we regret that one of the matches against Shawnigan Lake School and the only one arranged with Cowichan had to he cancelled. Last year the School was v ery fortunate in having a very strong eleven, including six former colours among whom were such outstanding players as Rocke Robertson and J. St. G. Mitchell. However, very little coaching was given last year to the 2nd and 3rd elevens, with the consequence that we have had this year very few experienced boys from which to choose the 1st and 2nd elevens. Moreover, in view of the Regatta on July 11th a far larger number of boys than ever before have chosen to take up rowing as a major sport. It is very doubtful whether it is a good practice to allow a boy with his 1st eleven cricket colours to abandon cricket and endeavour to become a good oar. The cricket season has been ex- ceptionally short owing to the fact that Easter was very late in the year. Brentwood College v. Wanderers Played May 3rd. (Lost) Brentwood College Wanderers Genge, b.
