Therefore in many respects this issue of the Magazine has been made a resume of the most important events in the history of the school during the past nine, years. Photographs of the teams in Rugby, Cricket, Tennis and of the crews since the school began, and a summary of progress have been inserted as a record. The present staff have been asked to continue their services until Christmas, so that there will be in the future a continuity of the same type of work as has hitherto been customary at Brentwood. The past year has shown very little of outstanding interest in the history of the school until it was known that the Headmaster was definitely leaving. Owing to the depression in business conditions everywhere the numbers have been reduced to sixty-one boys. The tone of the school and the esprit-de-corps among the boys have improved in spite of the low numbers. A satisfactory standard of scholarship has been maintained in all examinations. In all branches of sport the school has done well and may indeed be proud of its activities in rugby, cricket and rowing. We hope that the coming year will see an end to the present economic depression throughout the world and that Brentwood will start on a new era of progress under its new Head, Mr. M. H. Ellis. To the Old Brentonians Scattered Over the World and to the school of 1932 Farewell ! Think Occasionally of The Old Man and His Advice. God Bless You All ! Salvete H. P. HOPE, Headmaster Page Three Brentwood College Magazine Presentation to Mr. and Mrs. Hope ON Friday, June 24th, an illuminated address and a silver tea set were presented to Mr. and Mrs. Hope before leaving Brentwood. Mr. Round in an after-dinner speech expressed the regrets of the whole school that the Headmaster had found it advisable to resign his position at the College this year. He said that the senior boys in particular owed a debt of gratitude to Mr. Hope for the time and attention he had given to them, for the privileges which they enjoyed, for the variety of courses that were offered them in preparation for the numerous universities for which they were trained, and for his understanding insight into all their problems and difficulties. He knew of no school anywhere which offered such decided advantages to its senior boys as Brentwood did. He added that one could not pay a tribute to Mr. Hope without mentioning the school chapel. The Headmaster had spent unlimited thought, time and energy on the construction of this building. In many ways it was a lasting monument to his work during the past nine years. If succeeding headmasters would but carry on this noble work, the chapel when completed should be the finest of its kind in this country. Lastly Mr. Round touched upon a personal characteristic of the Headmaster, viz., his sense of humour. During the past few years one could recall many difficulties through which Mr. Hope had laughingly made his way. The trials and difficulties of a headmaster were many and various, and unless they were soothed by a sense of humour, he was sooner or later bound to fall. The Headmaster and Mrs. Hope thanked the school for their kindness and good wishes. To Brentwood ' s Name To Brentwood ' s Name we sing our praise, To Her our joyful voices raise, To hours gone by, and happy days, We SHOUT her name. The spirit of her splendid past, In men who through dominions vast Have wandered, and who at the last Shall bring her fame. In games, in sport, in struggles tried, To fighting spirit ne ' er denied, We raise a shout of glorious pride To Brentwood ' s Name. L. R. Phiujps. Page Four Brentwood College Magazine MR. M. H. ELLIS, M.A. (Oxon.) MR. M. H. ELLIS, the new Headmaster, was born in England and educated at Shrewsbury School, where he was captain of the Football XI and stroked the School VII I for two years. From Shrewsbury he went to Oxford, where he won an Exhibition at Keble College. He rowed for two years in the Oxford University crew against Cambridge. Mr. Ellis took an honours degree in History, From 1922 to 1926 he was a member of the staff of Westminster School in London, where he coached the school crews for Henley, was an officer in the O. T. C, and for two years was an assistant housemaster. In 1926 he came to Canada. From 1927 to 1932 he has been a housemaster at Shawnigan Lake School. Page Five Brentwood College Magazine Occasional Jottings The time has come, the Walrus said, To talk of many things. IN late September the school was brightened by an interlude which nearly caused us to lose a member of the staff. Suffice it to say that three fishers had gone fishing, and had not returned. How the news flew. Wives despaired — the master on duty became consolation officer for the day — the less literary members of the school openly rejoiced. Search parties were organized. The first search party did its business, and searched ; the second party sought, and got lost ; the third party was about to start when the fishermen found it. The fishers had run out of gas and, bravely battling the wind and the spray, had rowed with floorboards most of the way. The Staff, during the winter months, found a welcome relief from the day ' s work in the gentle art of ping pong. Some of the Staff can ping a pretty good pong. A junior member of the Remove was heard audibly to remark, however, with unutterable contempt : Huh, tiddley-winks next, I suppose . We have been asked to contradict the rumour that the Prefects decide their business for the day by spinning a coin. It had been generally thought that calling was more or less along the following lines : Heads, take it easy ; tails, take a rest; and if the coin stands on its edge, do a little work. The School Band pursues its turgid way in spite of venomous criticism. We maintain, however, that it requires genius to give recognizable imitations of a cow ' s last lament or feeding timle at the zoo. Where the orchestra excels, however, is in its rhythm. Even the most unmusical of us can now detect the difference between that pathetic Um-twang, um-twang, um-twang, urn , and the more lively and stimulating Twang-diddy-twang-twang-twang-twang-twang. I have recently been asked whether I believe in working (a) in the early morning, (b) in the morning, (c) in the afternoon, (d) in the evening, (e) late at night. My answer to all these queries is in the negative. The Fifth Form has recently taken to itself two new mottoes. The first, that sweet, mysterious aid, so often seen above the beds of little children, Heat lost equals heat gained , and the second, even more inspiring in its sweet simplicity, Barly to bed and early to rise Complete the square, or factorize. Page Six B r e n t w o o d C o 1 1 e g e Magazine In 1930 a reference was made to the advent of a small crop of moustaches in the school. This disease, well known to the medical profession as facio fungi , usually attacks boys with a singular mildness, so much so that a vigorous ocular examination is usually required to detect it. In one case this year, however, the attack has been so severe that we fear the disfiguration may become permanent. One prominent member of the fourth form has had a particularly fruitful session. He commenced the year by a minor essay in the realms of aeronautics. Fortunately he did not choose a very high tree. Tiring of this, he found pleasure in a little wood carving, which quickly led him into the interesting realms of elementary surgery. We await with interest his further enterprise. During the rugger season we played a friendly against the Navy . So great was the bulk of some of our opponents that the sort of thing that happened was something like this : Brentwood Scrum Half : Look out, there ' s that big fella getting away again ! Brentwood Out Half: So he is, wait a minute, I ' ll go and get a couple of others . Two others arrive — the Navy is still perspiring towards the line. Well you chaps, let ' s go! They jump on the Navy . The game continues. We are informed that the Fourth Form have recently shown a profound interest in pyrotechnics. So much so that they recently organized a small fire- work display for .the benefit of a member of the staff. This so interested the aforementioned member of staff that he, too, became an enthusiastic pyrotechnician, and treated the Fourth Form to a firework display which greatly exceeded in brilliance their elementary efforts. We sorrow with them. Page Seven Brentwood College Magazine WE may, I think, congratulate ourselves upon the success of the 1st XV this year. Although we had only sixteen players of sufficient weight and strength to play against men, we plunged into the Intermediate League, and by keenness and hard work, ably led by Mitchell, managed to win all our matches except one in the first half of the schedule. After Christmas misfortune dogged our steps and injuries to the team thinned our ranks and dampened our spirits. Especially unlucky were Todd and Wilkinson, who were both incapacitated for about two months with leg injuries. Several good matches were played by the 2nd XV and we have some very promising material for next year. Brentwood v. Oak Bay Wanderers Played at Brentwood, October 3rd. (Won 9-6) Our 1st XV opened the season with a hard-fought game against the Oak Bay Wanderers. The team play was rather ragged owing to the amount of new material on the team, but this was counterbalanced by the spirit of the players. Driscoll opened the scoring and after a fine forward rush carried the ball to our opponents ' line. The Wanderers pressed and Patrick scored near the corner. A fine dribble by Poole resulted in Archibald scoring. Barrett-Lennard made a fine opening, passed to Driscoll, who again scored. In the second half the Wanderers again scored, this time Banks scoring. Oak Bay were forcing hard, but the Brentwood defence held. Brentwood v. Old Brentonians Played at Brentwood, October 12th. (Won 14-5) The School opened very ruggedly and the Old Boys pressed. Fine tackling by Woods and Fraser held the Old Boys from scoring. Mitchell cleared the ball with a kick to touch. The interval came with the score 0-0. Page Eight B r e n t w ood College Magazine At the beginning of the second half a rush by Hope for the Old Boys resulted in Field scoring. Hope converted. The School then attacked hard and Woods scored a fine try. Shortly afterwards Lennard and Thorn combined with a fine run, Thorn scoring. A rush by the forwards resulted in Mitchell scoring between the posts. Fraser scored from a three-quarter run. The Old Boys pressed for a time, but Arkell cleared with a fine kick. The forwards took the ball and Mitchell scored again. Final score, 14-5. Playing for the Old Boys were: Spencer, Symons i, Henderson, Symons ii, Sills, Sharp, Mayhew, Hogg, Armstrong, Field, Scott-Moncrieff, Pat Hope, Hunter, C. E. Wilson, Hammersley. Brentwood v. University School Intermediate League. Played at Mount Tolmie, October 17th. (Won 15-5 ) We opened the Intermediate League by a fine win over our traditional rivals, the University School. By playing as a team we were able to defeat another very good team. The spirit and condition of the Brentwood forwards had a great deal to do with the outcome of the game. By taking advantage of a fumble by the opposing fullback, Thorne scored a fine try. Arkell made a beautiful kick. Brentwood attacked hard and Mitchell gathered a loose ball, passed to Archibald, who scored. Arkell again converted. Taking advantage of a dropped pass of our opposing three-quarter, Todd ran 90 yards for a try, which Arkell again kicked for the extra points. At the close of the game Mackidd scored for the LTniversity School. Brentwood v. Shawnigan Lake Schooe Played October 24th. (Won 18-5) During the first half, our lighter opponents managed to hold us by deter- mined tackling and following up. Brentwood three-quarters proved dangerous on many occasions, but excellent tackling by Shawnigan proved too much. A Shawnigan forward intercepted a pass and scored a try just before half-time, which was converted. Taking the offensive at the start of the second half, Brentwood soon scored, Woods crossing the line. Todd scored soon after and Mitchell added two more tries before the end. Arkell converted three kicks. The team played very. poorly together in the first half, but fell into their stride in the second half. Brentwood v. Oak Bay Wanderers Played October 31st. (Won 15-0) In our second match with the Wanderers we played a very line team game. The forwards worked well together and the team was strong on the defensive. Shortly after the start Todd scored after a nice three-quarter run. Mitchell scored just before half-time. Page Nine Brentwood College M a g a z i n e After the interval the Wanderers pressed and nearly scored. Brentwood forwards combined well to take the ball down the field, where Buck scored. Shortly afterwards, Wilkinson scored on another forward rush. Mitchell scored Brentwood ' s last points just before time. Brentwood v. Canadian Scottish Played at Brentwood, November 7th. (Won 13-0) Playing on a muddy field, against a very heavy pack of forwards, we played very ragged rugby. Although superior in the tight scrum, we were at a dis- advantage in the loose and line-out. Fraser opened the scoring with a fine try between the posts. Wilkin later scored. Mitchell converted both tries. In the second half Brentwood had the best of the game, but succeeded in scoring only once, Archibald crossing the line after a fine forward rush for an unconverted try. Towards the end of the game the Scottish pressed, but Brentwood held them. THE ist XV Page Ten Magazine ST fb 3 5 § ff o H 1 1zL , L , LK t , , m M H o O O 14th.

(Lost 3-0) This game was the final of the first half, and although we lost, we gave the College all they could handle. The team was keyed up to a high pitch and was well trained. Superior weight and experience, however, was the cause of defeat. Brentwood kicked off and forced the College into their own 25-yard line. After continual three-quarter runs, the College cleared. The College pressed, and Mabee crossed the line. Brentwood took the offensive, but were unable to score. After the interval, Brentwood continued to press, but the College line held. Strong defensive tactics by both teams prevented good three runs. Towards the end, Brentwood had several chances to score, but each time the College backfield rose to the occasion. This was the finest game the team played this year ; their tackling was good, the forwards played very well together, and everyone played an unselfish game. Brentwood v. Filth Regiment Played November 21st. ( Won 6-3) The team played very poorly and were soon at the short end of a 3-0 score. The forwards began to show life, and carried the ball to the Fifth line, where Mitchell scored. Sharland also scored just before half-time. At the start of the second half Mitchell was injured and left the field. Playing a man short, Brentwood scored two more tries before full time. Due to our elimiination from the first half of the League, the team as a whole lost interest, which accounts for the poor exhibition. The ground was r ather hard, from frost. Brentwood v. Shawnigan Lake Played December 4th. ( Lost 5-3 ) Hrentwood received a great shock when meeting Shawnigan again. Starting to play with little interest and very over confident, Brentwood received the worst of the first half. Faulty handling by the three-quarters spoiled chances of scoring. Mitchell scored for Brentwood near touch. Playing in a listless manner, Brentwood was forced in their territory. A Shawnigan three-quarter scored after a nice run, and the try was converted. As the game drew to the end, Brentwood tried every possible attack, but the tackling of the Shawnigan three-quarters proved too much, and we lost. This was our first defeat by Shawnigan. Brentwood v. Canadian Scottish Played at Brentwood on February 6th. ( Won 3-0) After a lay-off of some seven weeks, we were drawn against the heavy Canadian Scottish team. The quality of rugby was not high, due to a poor pitch and lack of practice. Page Eleven Brentwood College Magazine During the first half Brentwood made numerous forward rushes, but could not score. The three-quarter line, playing together with new men, didn ' t work very satisfactorily. The Scottish attacked towards the end . of the game, but could not score. Horn picked up a loose ball and ran fifty yards to score the winning points. Brentwood v. Victoria High School Played at Brentwood on February 11th. (Lost 9-3) Playing one of the best games of the season, our 1st XV gave the High School a great battle, but lost by bad luck rather than superior rugby. The pitch was covered with water, making three-quarter work poor. Brentwood forwards started the attack and, although much lighter, managed to force their opponents. Brentwood was superior in both the tight and loose, but a High School forward broke from the line and scored. Soon after, Horn ran fifty yards for a try to bring the score to 3-3. During the first twenty minutes of the second half, Brentwood held the High School inside their ten-yard line, but could not score. The High School finally cleared and were awarded a try. Shortly before timle they crossed the line again. Although beaten, the first team deserve credit for their splendid spirit in this game. Brentwood v. Victoria College: Played February 13. (Lost 6-0) We were again beaten by the College and it was superior weight that resulted in our defeat. The hard game on the previous Tuesday, with the High School, no doubt had an effect upon the team. Play remained in midfield until the College were awarded a penalty kick, which Carey made. A few minutes later Mabee ran through the entire team for a try. Brentwood fought back and Mitchell just miissed scoring. For the remainder of the half play moved from end to end. The second half opened with Brentwood on the offensive. The College soon took up the attack and forced Brentwood into their own territory. During the last few minutes, Brentwood tried their best, but could do nothing. Brentwood v. University School Played February 20th. (Lost 11-0) Brentwood suffered the first defeat by the University School in four years, and on the day ' s play were badly beaten. The game was played at the Athletic Park prior to the Rep game, so that there was a good crowd. The University School scored on a free kick less than a minute from the start. This broke the spirit of Brentwood and the team played very poorly. The University School scored a try, which was converted after a fumble. Brentwood attacked, but the three-quarters were not working together. Page Twelve B r e ii t w o o d College Magazine Brentwood held their own, getting the ball from practically every scrum in the second half, but could not score. A fumble by one of the backfield resulted in another try for the University School. From then till the finish, Brentwood fought hard, but could not score. Todd was put out for the season, due to an injury to his ankle. Brentwood v. Fifth Regiment Played at Brentwood on February 28th. ( Won 3-9 ) In this match we had our first accident of the rugger season, when Wilkinson had the misfortune to break his ankle. The team began poorly and our opponents very nearly scored. Play swung from one end of the field, with Brentwood showing decided superiority in the scrums. The score stood 0-0 at half-time. From the start of the second half, Brentwood forced and the forwards worked their way to the Fifth ' s line. Following a series of scrums, Mitchell secured and crossed the line. The Fifth Regiment took up the attack, but fine tackling by the backfield held them out. The team played much better in the second half, realizing that they were one man short. Brentwood v. Oak Bay Wanderers Played at Oak Bay Park, March 5th. (Lost 11-0) In our last game of the season we were badly beaten by the greatly improved Oak Bay Wanderers. The game was played with four of the regular first team missing, due to injuries. Pat Hope and Air. Phillips ably took the place of the injured with the aid of two 2nd XY players. The forwards were playing very poorly and the three-quarter line never had a chance. The Wanderers scored from a penalty kick, followed by two tries, one being converted. Play kept in mid-field till half-time. Brentwood opened strongly and for some time looked dangerous. The Wanderers were making use of long kicks to touch. Deadly tackling by the Wanderers ' backfield kept Brentwood out during the last few minutes, and the Wanderers won a well-deserved game on the day ' s play. Inter-House Rugby Match (A Draw) Both teams played first-class rugby, which was a reversal of the form displayed in the last 1st XV matches. The Lower House had the forwards, and the Upper House the backfield. The result was a good hard game. The Upper House took the offensive when Mitchell nearly scored. Play swung to the Upper House territory, where Mitchell was penalized. Driscoll put Page Thirteen Brentwood College Magazine over a mis-kick. The Upper House retaliated with a number of forward rushes, and were awarded a free kick, which Mitchell kicked for three points. Woods, Thorn and Ellis were playing a useful game, combining in a run that was stopped at touch and goal. The second half opened with play staying in the centre of the field. Neither team could gain any advantage and the game ended in a draw. Mr. Phillips refereed. Notes on the Players F. G. MITCHELL (Captain): A sound, hard-working forward and valuable hook. He led his team well and was himself responsible for many tries. S. B FRASER (Vice-Captain): Full-back. A very safe tackle and a fair kick. He used his judgment. C. P. A. SHARLAND: An invaluable wing-forward — always on the ball with good control with his feet. D. K. ARCHIBALD: A hard-working forward who always backed up well — poor control with his feet, but a sound tackle. B. M. COOPER: A clever and elusive scrum-half whom it was necessary to play centre-three-quarter. He never felt quite at home in this position. J. H. THORN: Centre-three-quarter. He has piayed some good games, but his form varies considerably. R. F. DRISCOLL: A heavy forward who always used his weight to good effect. P. WOODS: A good pair of hands. Sound in defence and a good eye for an opening in attack. J. E. POOLE: A sound, hard-working forward. T. G. B. COLTHURST: A good worker and sound tackle. More valuable in the line- out than in the scrum. C. T. B. TODD: Wing-three-quarter. Dangerous in attack, but weak in defence. W. J. BARRETT-LENNARD: Very sound in defence, but lacked speed for attack. He always played hard and rarely missed his man. L. W. WILKINSON: Forward; works hard and tackles hard, but lacks experience of the game. R. L. WILKIN: Scrum-half. A hard worker and good tackle. He played some splendid . games. D. KINLOCK: Keen and hard-working; invaluable in a mud-puddle. J. E. BUCK: A keen player who always stayed the pace. Nine Years ' Record 1923-24 Brentwood v. For Agst. J. B. A.

Page Twenty B r e n t w o o d College Magazine THE Cricket Team this season showed promise. However, it lacked experience in the held, partly on account of the poor condition of our cricket ground, but mainly because of a shortage of players for practice games. But still the team did not show up badly and the tail proved on one or two occasions that it was capable of holding its own. We were pretty easily beaten in the first match, which was against the University School. The game showed up our fielding as by far our weakest point. On the 24th of May we played an all-day match with Cowichan C. C, on the Duncan ground, and just managed to finish one innings apiece before rain halted play. In this game, however, the team showed some improvement and we won fairly comfortably. One match with Shawnigan Lake School would have been even more interesting than it proved to be, had we not had to draw stumps before the finish : as it was we had obtained a reasonably good score, thanks to Thorn ' s fine innings, and Shawnigan were 67 runs behind with 5 wickets in hand when stumps were drawn. Our two remaining matches were closely contested, Victoria C. C. beating us by 19 runs and the President ' s XI beating us by 16 runs. We were not able to field a Second XI this season owing to our limited numbers. One Junior match was played against St. Michael ' s Preparatory School. It was a very one-sided affair. The House Match, as usual, aroused much interest, and produced some very keen play. Cocks ' House were again the winners. Page Twenty-one Brentwood College Magazine Brentwood v.

Page Thirty-one Br e n t w cod College Magazine The Boat Club BOAT CLUB activities started at the close of the rugby season, and by the beginning of the Summer Term this ever popular sport was taken up seriously in all departments. Due to the leaving of many oarsmen at the close of last year, many new recruits were introduced to the game who zealously threw their efforts into upholding the standard set in previous years by such crews as won the Senior Fours in the N. P. A. A. O. Regatta. The proper facilities were not available for Mr. Ingham Mope to get out every day to coach the crews, and though the crews worked hard, they showed their want of coaching. However, the first crew was training hard and looking forward to the N. P. A. A. O. Regatta, which is to be held at Elk Lake on July 1st and 2nd, when Allan, who was rowing three, developed acute appendicitis and is now in the hospital doing as well as possible. The first crew feel his loss keenly and join with the rest of the school in wishing him a hearty and rapid recovery. Owing to Allan ' s illness we find it impossible to enter the crew in the Regatta and are very disappointed. THE FIRST CREW Page Thirty-two Brent w o 6 d College Magazine Colthurst, who has taken up sculling seriously, will represent us in the junior singles. We extend to him our best wishes and good luck in his race. Old boys will be glad to hear of Pratt ' s success in sculling. While here he was a sculler of note and since then his achievements have been very praiseworthy. We congratulate him and Noel DeMille of Vancouver in their success as a doubles crew and wish them the best of luck in the Olympic trials this summer. RACES On the fourteenth of May the First Crew met the U. B. C. Crew at Brentwood and defeated them. The University crew led at the start, but our crew, lengthening out their stroke to overcome this slight advantage, soon were a length ahead. The U. B. C. crew made a noble bid for the lead, but our crew increased the speed of their stroke and stayed ahead, their lead never to be threatened again. With a final spurt the Brentwood crew crossed the finishing line some two lengths in advance. In the Gorge Regatta on the 24th of May the First and Second Crews met the J. B. A. A. Rowing in strange boats was somewhat disconcerting to the crews. The Bays showed to advantage their long, swinging stroke and racing experience. They won both races by a substantial margin. On June the 4th the House Crews met in their annual tilt. Both crews got away to a fine start, the Lower House rowing with a longer and steadier stroke than the Upper House. The latter had a slight advantage, but the faster stroke was telling on them, and when it seemed that the Lower House crew were about to assume the lead they had bad luck in getting off their course and only with great difficulty avoided an anchored boat. This fact greatly influenced the outcome of the race, which the L T pper House won by a small margin. Nine Years ' Record 1924 April 26th. Brentwood v. U. B. C, at Brentwood. Lost by 1 length.

Many boys took his weekly lessons and showed great improvement under his care. Squash in the Christmas Term, chiefly owing to the visits of Mr. Piers, had a strong following. However interest dropped off in the Lent Term, and except for a few senior players the courts were seldom frequented. We managed to obtain two Squash matches during the year. We won the first from a team brought by Mr. Izard, while we lost the second to a team brought by Mr. Jones. P oth matches, however, produced some keen and interesting play. The House match resulted in a win for Cocks ' House by taking 5 out of 9 matches. Squash Rackets Matches Against Mr. Izard ' s Team. Played December 14th, 1931.

Following the sports programme, the visitors assembled in the gymnasium of the College. Mr. Hope, who is retiring after nine years of service to Brent- wood College, explained his reasons for giving up his charge and expressed his regrets at leaving Brentwood to return to his former profession as a teacher under the Department of Education. Mr. Hope reviewed briefly the activities of the College during his term as its headmaster and expressed the wish that the staff would extend the same loyalty to his successor as they had to him. Mr. P. F. Curtis, Chairman of the Board of Directors, addressed the gather- ing and gave some statistics of the College and a summary of its progress since 1923. He mentioned that the number of examination successes in junior matriculation work and first year arts at University of British Columbia was 107 ; University of Alberta, 13; McGill University. 10; Toronto University, 7, and Cambridge University, 7. Boys had also secured admission to many of the colleges and universities of Canada and the United States. Mr. Curtis also mentioned that the Boat Club, established in 1924, was now free of debt and had equipment valued at $5,000. He also reviewed the College ' s successful sporting career during the last nine years. Mr. M. H. Ellis, the newly appointed Headmaster, was formally introduced to the gathering by Mr. Hope, who presented his successor with the key of the chapel. Mr. Ellis expressed his thanks to the Board of Directors for the honor it had conferred upon him in selecting him to be the Headmaster of a college with such a high reputation as Brentwood. He also asked for the co-operation of the staff and of the boys and stated that his efforts would be directed towards maintaining the high standard that Brentwood now enjoys.

Sailing SAILING this year was rather badly handicapped, owing to shortage of equipment. Robinson called for his kitten, the Blue Streak , leaving the sailors with but one kitten, the Black Cat . The Boat Club attempted to obtain Dollar ' s sloop, the Smoky , but, as he has recently installed an engine and made other improvements, the boat was thought to be unsuitable and the price prohibitive. In spite of this difficulty, some good sailing was enjoyed by a large number of the boys. Mr. Kinch, who has succeeded Mr. Grant in charge of sailing, took a great interest in the sport, and soon after the boat was launched a number of the boys, both young and old, had passed their light wind tests under his able guidance. On afternoons when it blew up , the school kitten and Bennett ' s flattie, the Swastika , sailed in company. The kitten demonstrated her ability in working to windward, but with a beam wind the flattie literally walked away from her. On the whole the sailors enjoyed a fairly successful season. It is to be hoped, however, that in the near future the Boat Club will find a suitable boat to replace the Blue Streak . Page Fifty B r e n t w o o cl College Magazine The Dramatic Club HIS Club has once again enjoyed a flourishing season. After several short meetings early in the Christmas Term, it was decided that the play ' ' Brewster ' s Millions should be presented at the Christmas concert. The play, which was well received, was presented in a skilled and artistic manner. For this all credit is due to the players themselves; they threw themselves into their parts with great fervor and rehearsed with regularity and effectiveness. Although during rehearsals problems in acoustics frequently presented them- selves, the actual performance was noteworthy for the clearness with which the voices were heard. J. H. Thorn, as Montague Brewster, was effective and forceful, making the most of his dramatic climax at the end of the act. R. F. Driscoll, as Bragdon, played this somewhat smaller part with a gratifying naturalness. W. R. Lawson, as the impetuous friend whose every effort to do Monty wrong turns out so unexpectedly right, gave vent to his anguish in a highly spectacular manner. The performance of C. P. Ritchie, as McTavish, calls forth an especial word of praise. His entries were vigorously applauded after his first appearance. Of the two ladies, D. K. Archibald, as Poppy Waghorn, was startling — one almost felt afraid as to what she would do next. Peggy, as the part demands, was undemon- strative and quiet as interpreted by C. A. Mayhew. Everyone was pleased and the play generally was kindly received. People remarked on the ease with which the various actors handled their respective cigars, cheroots, pipes and cigarettes, which punctuated the play. Even Poppy was not embarrassed when she found the only place for her ash to be Monty ' s typewriter. We are anxiously awaiting next term, that we may give a more ambitious performance to show the full dramatic powers of the members of the club. 1924— J. C. R. Reade, R. Scott-Moncrieff, C. N.

Dear Mr. Hope: I was fortunate enough to complete my 1st M.B. last June and so have got over the first and, incidentally, highest stumbling block — at last. In October I took the Organic Chemistry of the 2nd M.B., and luck favoured me again. I am now getting on with Anatomy and Physiology — a far more interesting though perhaps harder part. During the vac I managed to get in a trip to Ireland. The whole of the country, as far as I could see, is a bog. We climbed a mountain about 2,000 feet, and even at the top there was a bog, this being due to the heavy clay soil and peat, no doubt. I expect you ' ve heard of the bad luck that has befallen Green. He caught pneumonia last summer and has had to return to Canada for the winter. It ' s awfully bad luck, though of course there is the brighter side of looking at it, that he passed his 2nd M.B. in June before it happened. All the Brentwood boys I know over here seem to be doing quite well. Genge got a first in the Mays and is reserve back for the St. John ' s 1st XV. Stubbs is also getting on well and seems to be thoroughly enjoying the life on board the Erebus . He may go to the Mediterranean soon. Weir likewise is progressing well and says that in about 7 or 8 hours he should be able to solo — if he lives as long as that! He played for the R. A. F. College 1st XV last week Yours very sincerely, MAURICE D. YOUNG. Arctic Submarine Nautilus , Spitzbergen, September 10th, 1931. Dear Mr. Hope: In July I met the Nautilus in Plymouth, with the object in view of installing an electrical navigating device invented and manufactured by my father, and there I was told by the chief engineer that, in view of the fact that one of the engineers had left on account of bad health, he could not place a man with me to help with the installation of our machine. Naturally I had to turn to myself, and after having spent three days working on the boat, was suddenly offered the post of assistant chief, which I took and here I am, an explorer . I had been going to send a wire, while we were still in the ice, to Symons, but unfortunately I have forgotten his address. It was to tell him that I could not keep my promise to be at the Old Boys ' Banquet. Our plans at present are very vague, so that I do not know where we shall go from here. For myself, I have to be in New York by the beginning of next month. Yours sincerely, VADIM STAVRAKOV. Yarrow Challenge Shield Yarrow Challenge Shield for Scholastic and Athletic Attainments.
