Brentwood College Magazine The Picnic to Sandy Beach ON Saturday, May 24th, the School went on the third Annual Picnic to Sandy Beach. A large number of the boys had their own craft, but those who did not were conveyed to the beach in the Mary S. ' belong- ing to Captain Scarf. The School cat-boats were also used by some of the boys, and, as there was a fair breeze, these boats all sailed over. Contrary to its usual custom, the weather was fine, although the water at Sandy Beach was too cold for any comfortable bathing. After lunch, the boys were free to do as they liked until suppertime, and they amused themselves in many different ways. Some played baseball on the sand, others went for walks (for reasons best known to themselves), and the remainder went boating, sailing, and aquaplaning. About 7 o ' clock the picnic broke up and the School returned home, having had an ex- ceedingly enjoyable day. Old Boys ' Day MANY Old Brentonians enjoyed a pleasant day at the College on Novem- ber 9th, 1929. The programme started with a rugby match in rainy weath er, in which the Old Boys scored their first victory over the 1st XV by a close score of 21-19. At 5 :15 the Old Boys held their Annual Meeting at which twenty of them assisted. At 6 :30 the Old Boys, together with the College and many guests of the Headmaster, enjoyed their Annual Supper. In the evening a very pleasant entertainment was held in the gymnasium. For two hours everyone enjoyed the play, the songs, and the amusing items.

B r e 11 1 v o o d C o 1 1 e g e M a g a z i n e Old Boys ' Notes W. O. Green writes from St. John ' s College, Cambridge, that he is making good progress in his studies for his degree in medicine. He spent last Christinas holidays touring in Switzerland with the University 2nd ice hockey team. He is still playing for St. John ' s 2nd rugger team. He hopes to spend his Easter holi- days in the south of Spain. W. C. Ricardo writes from Jesus College saying that there are now six old Brentwood boys at Cambridge. He is finding the study of Economics very in- teresting. J. Nickson sends word from McGill that he is living in an apartment with Rocke Robertson and Bruce Hanbury. He is trying to understand the French- Canadian viewpoint on Empire solidarity. He finds, at McGill, that much more importance is attached to class work than to athletics. J. Shallcross has joined the O. T. C. at McGill. He seems to have been very impressed by Ramsay MacDonald ' s visit to Montreal. The subjects he is studying are English, Economics, Accountancy, French, Maths., and Spanish in the 2nd year Commerce Course. Congratulations to Roger Wilson who entered the ring this year and se- cured the heavyweight championship of McGill University. He played for his university against Toronto. In the Christmas examinations he ranked fourth in a class of 110. R. C. Procter states that at the University of Alberta there are eight Old Boys taking the following courses: — Buchanan and Ives, 1st year Applied Science; Ballachey and Pitfield, 1st and 2nd year Arts and Law; Cooper, 2nd year Arts and Medicine; Procter, 3rd year Applied Science; Davis, 2nd year Applied Science ; Kirkpatrick, who was taking 2nd year Arts and Law, has unfortunately had to leave the University temporarily on account of sickness. We hope he will soon be well again. Most of these eight boys are continuing to play rugby. We were very interested to hear that Harvard has just put into the field an English rugby football team and that Bruce Elmore has been made vice-captain. Yale and the Marines of Philadelphia are also playing the English game. F. D. M. Williams has been elected secretary of the Cambridge Lruversity Badminton Club. He spent last Easter holidays with relatives in Germany, where he attended the closing ceremony at Heidelberg L T niversity. At the moment of going to press it is with the greatest sorrow that we hear of the unfortunate accident to Tony Farrer which cost him his life. He was killed by a rifle bullet at Camp Hughes Rifle Range on July 9. When at Brentwood he took great interest in many School activities and he was one of the best athletes we have ever had. All those boys who remember him and all friends of the School tender their heart-felt sym- pathy to his relations and friends. Page Twenty-eight
