Brentwood College Magazine Editorial HE past year has been, on the whole, a quiet one. In work and in play the College has clone well, but there has not been any outstanding success in either department such as we have enjoyed in some past years. The widespread depression has inevitably spread to the private schools, in the form of reduced numbers, but in spite of this we may claim to have maintained a good standard in all our activities. During the latter part of the Summer Term we have been without Mr. Hope, who left, with Mrs. Hope, for a long holiday in England after eight strenuous years at Brentwood and some twenty years in B. C. Mr. Round and Mr. Grant assumed the role of Consuls, but the illness of the latter perforce left Mr. Round as Dictator, and under his guidance we safely negotiated the last three weeks of the term. Next term will witness the establishment of Brentwood Preparatory School, details of which will be found on a later page. The need for such an institution has long been felt, for it is only by coming to Brentwood young and going right through the mill that a boy can hope to reap the full benefits of a public school training. To learn to serve ere you learn to rule is how the present Headmaster of Eton has defined the career of a public school boy, and a boy who comes to Brentwood over the age of fifteen can hardly hope to form a true perspective of public school life. T the end of the Summer Term a presentation, comprising a silver tea tray and cigarette box, was made to Mr. and Mrs. Grant, who are leaving us. Mr. Grant has been at Brentwood since the school was founded in 1923. Coming from the Naval College at Esquimalt, he brought with him a nautical breeze that filled the sails of all his many activities here. As Bursar, he has been the joy of the Board of Governors, by his capacity for preparing, at a moment ' s notice, any statistics or financial statements they required. As Housemaster, he has won the affection and respect of innumerable boys, by his firm but wise handling of the many problems that ever beset one in that position. But it is on the Rugby field that he will probably be best remembered for his prowess, both as a player and as a coach, for under his guidance Brentwood has attained in a few short years the reputation for having one of the strongest XV ' s on the Pacific Coast. Our success in Rugby has not been intermittent and due to the fortunate coincidence of fifteen outstanding players; it is, on the contrary, perennial, and must owe that position to its one permanent feature — the coach. Mr. Grant is taking a long holiday, here and in Europe, before returning to B. C, and we all wish him a complete recovery from his recent operation. We are very sorry indeed to say goodbye to him, and hope to see him at all our functions when he returns, like another nautical celebrity, to gaze on the Pacific. Mr. J. M. Grant Page Three

B r e 11 1 w o o d C o 1 1 e g e M a g a z i n e WE enjoyed a very successful season and on the whole the standard of play was good. Though we did not enter the Intermediate League, we twice played Victoria College, who won the Provincial Champion- ship ; early in the season we defeated them, and later played to a draw. Our success was in large measure due to good heeling, enabling us to launch frequent attacks. Oak Bay Wanderers v. Brentwood College Played October 11th, 1930. (Lost 10-9). Kicked off by Brentwood. Usher made two good runs early in the first half. He was held up over the line by McNeill saving a certain try. Brentwood fought back and Wilson ii carried the ball past Wanderer ' s twenty-five yard line, passing to Weir, who took it over for Brentwood ' s first try. Brentwood did not convert. The Brent- wood three-quarters made a long run. McNeill took a difficult pass from Wilson ii and rushed over for another try. Not converted. Half-time score, 6-0 in Brentwood ' s favour. Wanderers started out strongly in the second half and with a forward rush carried the ball into Brentwood territory. Brentwood held for a few minutes, then Roberts went over to score first points for Wanderers. Convert failed. Pease rushed up the field for what appeared to be a sure try, but Fraser tackled well and brought him down. Pease hurt. Wanderers received a penalty kick and put the ball nicely between the posts, making score 6-6. McNeill ran from the half-way line through a loose field for his second try. Brentwood failed to convert. Brentwood pressed hard, keeping the ball well in Wanderers ' territory for some time. The Wanderers ' forwards rushed down the field and Pease kicked a beautiful field goal to finish an exciting game. Page Four
