Brent w o o d C o 1 1 e g e Magazine The Dramatic Society THIS year, due largely to the kind help of Messrs. Birley, Round, Hincks, the Dramatic Society was able to maintain, if not surpass, its previous efforts. The boys all showed great interest and worked hard to make this year ' s two entertainments successful, and there is no doubt but that they did appeal to their audiences. The first entertainment, on Old Boys ' Day, consisted of a group of short sketches, which, despite their absurdity, caused much amusement. The programme appears below : — 1. The Brentwood Melodians. 2. Bull Pups (Action Song)— C. T. Weir, R. L. Mayhew, R. S. Malkin, D. K. Archibald. 3. The Eternal Question - - - He: H. B. Brown; She: J. H. Thorn 4.

Auld Lang Syne - - - - God Save The King The Bull Pups (action song) needs no explanation other than that the cast, who were all members of the 1st XV, were dressed in the clothing such as worn by small children. The Eternal Question was amusing and very successful, due to the excellent way in which Jack Thorn and Harry Brown gave their idea of patience. The Telegram , as a melodrama, caused a great deal of consternation as to the contents of the fateful telegram. Liberty Hall , with its high-spirited tone, served to relieve the tension of that very nerve-racking drama of mystery, The Telegram . Auld Lang Syne and God Save the King brought the end of a happy day. The Christmas Entertainment consisted of but one longer play — a one-hour version of Nothing but the Truth . This play really showed the two weeks of hard work spent in perfecting it. Thorn took the part of Bob, the hero of the play, and did his part admirably well, playing opposite his fiancee, Gwendoline Ralston (alias Robert Wilkin). The humour was supplied by the untimely appearance of Mabel (Donald Archibald 1 ). However, no less tribute must be paid to Mayhew, Mr. Hincks, Malkin and Weir, who also gave excellent performances. Special praise should be given to Mr. Hincks, who, on three days ' notice, prepared his part as Van Drusen and played it extremely well.

Brentwood College Magazine Inter-School Track Meet HE annual Inter-School Track Meet, held under the management of the Y. M. C. A., took place on Friday, June 5th, on the Victoria High School grounds. Teams were entered from University School, Victoria High School, Esquimalt High School and Brentwood College. Three, two and one points were awarded for first, second and third places respectively in each event except the medley relay, for which there were six, four and two points given.

In spite of Victoria High School ' s one-sided victory, some very good finishes were seen, one particularly fine race was the 880 yards, which was won by Mitchell.

B r e 11 1 w o o cl College M a g a z i ri e Aero Club HE Aero Club has passed another successful year. The most notable feature of the last school year was the great interest shown in model planes. The greatest progress was during the Christmas term. Among the models built were scale models, flying scale models, and single-stick endurance models. Very successful flights were obtained and the following table shows the best times made : — Single-stick Outdoor Endurance - Dickinson. 1 min. 25 2-5 sees. Baby R.O.G. Outdoor Endurance - Driscoll. 1 min. 20 4-5 sees. Scale Model Indoor Endurance ----- Gillies. 58 3-5 sees. At the end of the Christmas term the annual banquet was held. It was a very interesting affair, several speeches being made and an excellent time was enjoyed by all the members. The room was well decorated with various models and numerous propellers. The Club is now at the end of its fourth year. It has a surplus in its treasury with which to make improvements next year, and an ever-increasing interest is being shown in its activities. DURING the Summer Term, a few of the boys revived an interest in golf at the school and decided to form a six-man team. They obtained the aid of some of the golfing masters, and were able to practise at Gorge Vale and Uplands on long Sundays. Matches were arranged later with Cowichan and Oak Bay, and although a draw and a loss were the results, good golf was produced. Thanks are due to the masters for taking an interest in the team. Those who played during the term were: Mr. I. Hope, Mr. Birley, Mr. Hincks, Mr. P. Hope, Procter, Arkell, Dickinson and Evans. It is to be hoped that the boys will continue to take an active interest next year, both in playing and endeavouring to clear the golf links for practice.
