Brent w o.o d College Magazine Editorial HE year 1932 is certainly a definite turning point in the history of the College, owing to the resignation of the Headmaster. 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
