B r c 11 1 w o o d C o 1 1 e g e M a g a z i n e Editorial HE past year has slipped by very quietly, possibly without as many out- standing landmarks in the school ' s history as have occurred in previous years. Very few changes have been made in the school buildings with the exception of the Chapel which is daily becoming more and more beautiful. Three new masters have been added to the teaching staff: — Mr. Gibson, Mr. Privett and Mr. Hincks, and a new matron, Miss Egerton, came at Christmas. Last September over forty new boys were enrolled— perhaps too many in a school of about one hundred. If nearly all parents could see their way to keep their boys at Brentwood from three to four years, the result would be a great help to the school as a whole and to each boy in particular. Less change would then be experienced from year to year, and the torch would be more effectively handed on. Sports have taken their usual place in the life of the school. The Rugby season was a very successful one. The Boat Club seems to send more boys out on the water every day, and there is much keenness shown by those boys entering for the Regatta on July 11. Cricket has not had such a successful season as last year, because it has had more difficulties to overcome. Tennis has been more neglected this year because fewer boys have found time for it, together with the other numerous activities of the school. The college has been singularly free from epidemics during the past twelve months, in spite of the fact that the winter was quite a cold one for Victoria, but very little snowfall was experienced. Since the school was opened in 1923 over one hundred boys have secured admission to universities. Old boys have distinguished themselves at Oxford and Cambridge, McGill, Toronto, the University of Alberta, the University of British Columbia, Harvard, Cornell, Washington, Oregon and Berkeley- Ar- rangements have now been made with all these universities whereby admission requirements can be complied with at Brentwood College. The farmers of Saanich have at last solved their drought problem. When- ever they wish for a heavy fall of rain, they invite the College to a cricket match, and behold, their wish is granted ! At the beginning of the Lent Term a certain amount of excitement was pro- vided when the sixth form classroom caught on fire. For several days tender enquiries were made of Mr. Privett as to his injured anatomy after his fall down the slippery steps. Fortunately, the fire was extinguished without much property loss.
