Embarrassing Moments While enjoying a drag in a rowboat far out at sea, you suddenly remember that Fogg is the proud owner of a pair of powerful binoculars. While happily banging on the piano, you see the face of the master on duty observing yon intently from the corridor. Having skipped P.T., yon are discovered by the matron secreting yourself in the dormitory cupboard. Having permitted yourself the luxury of a free period, you are dis- covered walking towards The Anchorage. While running as fast as you can out of the school building, you suddenly remember that the steps have been torn down. Having purchased some doubtful literature the last time you were in town, you are discovered reading it by your housemaster. While in the laboratory, searching for some knick-knack or other, you in- advertently strike a match over a bottle of white phosphorus. Having artfully pinched a Common Room magazine to read in bed, you remember that a member of the Common Room Committee is in your dorm. While inadvertently entering the Dining Hall with your hands in your pockets, you observe the eagle eye upon you. The Masters, having just decided to spend a tranquil afternoon in their studies, find that Young is experimenting with a none-too-fresh dogfish on the verandah, surrounded by an admiring group of spectators. While sneaking up the private staircase you suddenly collide with the master on duty. While taking the ladies out for a pleasant outing in your outboard, you inadvertently blow the muffler off. Having ascended the steps to the lectern in order to read the lesson in Chapel, you suddenly discover that the previous reader has disarranged the bookmarks in the Bible. Page Twenty-two

B r e 11 1 w o o d College Magazine A Trip to the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory N February 27th the fifth and sixth forms were invited by Dr. Plaskett to visit the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory on Little Saanich Mountain. Forty of the leading scholars from the two physics classes were chosen by Mr. Gibson to benefit from the lecture. They were met at the observatory by Mr. Pearce, one of the four as- tronomers in charge of the station. First of all he led the boys upstairs in order to show the gigantic telescope, which at present is the second largest in the world. A few figures were given which easily demonstrated the size and power of the instrument. The parabolic mirror at the base measures 73 inches in diameter, the total length of the telescope 30 feet, and its total weight is 45 tons. In spite of this weight one of the smallest boys in the class was able to move it easily with one hand, so perfectly is it balanced. Mr. Pearce having described a few such details, then lowered the telescope and allowed the boys to look down at the mirror — a privilege seldom enjoyed by the public. The mechanism used to turn or elevate- the instrument was described, and also the delicate machine which compensates for the rotation of the earth, when observing a star. Under direction of the lecturer the telescope was set on an imaginary star by several boys, who had to turn the roof of the observatory to do so. The class then went downstairs, where a few pictures of stars, nebulae, and spectrographs were shown. Mr. Pearce explained the use of the term light- year in astronomy — one light-year being equal to approximately 5,867,636 millions of miles. He demonstrated how spectrographs are used to determine the radial velocity of a star and its weight, size, and distance from the earth. By using a few simple diagrams he showed the tremendous size of the stellar universe and how little we know about it. He completed his talk by showing a few very interesting slides of the sun, moon and various planets. Mr. Gibson moved a hearty vote of thanks in which all showed their ap- preciation for the trouble Mr. Pearce had taken in order to give them such an interesting lecture.
