In this respect it serves as a milestone of the events and happenings which constitute the normal life of the school. Dealing first with the less pleasant aspects of the editor ' s work, we have to announce the departure of three members of the staff. Mr. Ingham-Hope. who has been with us for six years, will be especially remembered by the rowers, past and present, for the service and care that he has given to coaching the crews. It was under his guidance that the school met with the outstanding success in the N.P.A.A.O. regatta of 1929. Mr. Phillips we will remember for the diversity of his interest in us — always for our welfare and benefit. He will have cause to remember us from the damaged finger that he sustained playing rugger in a practice game. To Pat Hope we must also say good-bye and thank him for his perpetual good humour and willingness to help. To them all we extend our heartfelt thanks and sincere good wishes for the days to come. Mr. Kinch ( Daddy ) and Steve Carter command, too, our thanks — the latter for his attention to the inner man, the former for his attention to the outer. Passing now to a cheerful vein, we have to congratulate the Headmaster ' s engagement to Miss Sheelagh Parr, of Killdoone and to announce his impend- ing marriage ( an accomplished fact before our good wishes return from the printers). We wish them all happiness and shall welcome Mrs. Ellis to our midst next term. As we pass on to the survey of the previous year, two facts compel our attention. The first, the almost entire absence of sickness throughout the year, and the second, the successes which our teams have achieved in the various branches of sport in spite of the small numbers of the school this year. It is always the custom to compare unfavourably the teams and classes of the present year with those of past years; boys who have been with us for some years and have impressed their personalities upon us, leave, and we feel that they can never be replaced. Yet it has been our experience this year that such loss has been more than repaired by the growth of new talent, which has shown itself sometimes in unexpected places. This may have been due in part to the greater opportunities afforded to boys in a school of small numbers, but chiefly was it due to the excellent spirit which the teams as a whole showed. If we may single out one match as an example of this spirit we would refer to the return match with University School — more particularly described in the Rugby notes. Page Three B r e n t w o o d College Magazine Occasional Jottings The time has c ome the Walrus said, To talk of many things. DURING the Lent term we were fortunate in securing the following promi- nent business and professional men of Victoria to come and talk to the senior boys on the subject of careers: Dr. D. M. Baillie, who spoke on the future of medicine; Mr. J. Y. Copeman, on law; Mr. Tom Golby, on mining; Mr. L. A. Grogan, on accountancy, and Mr. R. Mayhew, on the essential qualities of a business man. Under the organisation and guidance of Mr. Phillips, a Reference Library has been started in the School. We now possess some 300 volumes, and shall welcome with grateful thanks any additions thereto from Old Boys or friends of the School. We were heartily glad to welcome to the School, during the Lent term, a team of Old Boys and others who travelled from Vancouver to spur on the newly- formed Oxford Group in the School. :js The slight epidemic that occurred during the Lent term reminded one of that famous Spanish lady whose history is perpetuated in the following lines : There was a young lady from Spain, Who was horribly sick in the train. Not once, but again, and again, and again, And again, and again, and again. We would very much like to know Angus ii ' s time for the cross country; we feel it must be a record. {c 3|s 5|C 5jS We touch our forelocks to one Kidd who had the temerity to take a bath when fully clothed. These St. Michael boys are always asserting their independence. sj= Who is there to tell what wonders this age of progress may yet bring forth? This year has seen one of the Matrons smoking her first cigarette, and the other, on Old Boys ' Day, drinking a glass of beer and singing, Blow the man down, in a fruity contralto. K May we congratulate that fine body of men, the Brentwood Bass and Bari- tone Brigade? To sing the bass of Sun of My Soul was in itself an achieve- ment, but to induce the rest of the School to follow them was simply staggering. More power to you, ye mighty gastric (?) rumblers. Page Four B r e 11 1 w o o d College Magazine We deplore the headgear of our Captain of tennis. It seems a pity that he should deprive the fair sex of what we have always deemed to be their prerogative. The photographers have been expectionally busy this term. We congratulate Tom Kelley on three excellent pictures. Taking them in order: No. 1, Th e Runner, is an excellent still life study. Though the runner does not appear in the picture, his absence testified to his speed. He was too fast for Tom. In No. 2, Hrentwood Through the Bushes, there is much to be admired. A better title might have been just Bushes. No. 3, The Picture of the Sitting Pheasant has a definite appeal. There is a certain Je ne sais quoi about it. It instances once again the wonderful protective colouring that Nature affords to her denizens. Try how we would, we were unable to find the pheasant, or to determine whether it was sitting or standing. We presume that it was lying. At the end of the Lent term we were all sorry to hear that Mr. Round was leaving us, to become Headmaster of Kingsley School, North Vancouver. Mr. Hope, in a short and pointed address, emphasised the firm support which Mr. Round, in his capacity of Senior House Master, had always given him. In recognition of his long and valued service, which began with the School, the staff and boys presented him with a desk set. In his speech of thanks, Mr. Round expressed his regrets that he was severing his long and happy associations with Brentwood. We all wish him every happiness and success in his new work. It is with profound regret that we have to say good-bye to Miss Treadaway, who has been with us practically since the School started. Her record has been remarkable in that during nine years of work in Brentwood College she has never, even for one day, been absent from her duties. In a boys ' school one is sometimes apt to under-estimate the work of the Matron, for so much of her work is of that nature which does not readily command attention — the one hundred and one duties that are theirs to perform each day that are absolutely necessary for the smooth and efficient operation of the School, that pass unnoticed by the uninitiated. It is in the unostentatious performance of these duties that Miss Treadaway has excelled. She may be sure that she will carry away from the School the thanks of the staff and boys, past and present, and their best wishes for the future. Presentation to Mr. Round Page Five B r e n t w o o d College Magazine Brentwoodiana Your attention I crave, while I troll you a stave To complete your inadequate knowledge Of the characters droll who stand on the roll Of Brentwood, our excellent College. Though it costs rather more than a cent would To bring up your sons as a gent would, You get your reward as they mix with the horde Of remarkable scholars at Brentwood. First the Prefects we view ; they ' re a stout hearted crew — In the Upper House, Mackie and Angus — Should a faint whispered word after silence be heard. Pounce like tigers to quiet and slang us ; Lower House boasts of its Peter, Who thinks a moustache makes him sweeter, And the swift Terry Todd who bounds o ' er the sod With the Grace of a Marlene or Greta. In the Senior Matric where the brains are so slick That a pass isn ' t even a gamble, You will find (quite a shock) Wilkinson and Kinloch, Mac, Mannix and Roberts and Campbell ; In the Reading Rooms proud sequestration They work with a grim concentration, Though I have heard it said that rather peeved Head For a week sent them to Preparation. As a general rule we ' re a punctual school. Though we don ' t all have clocks like that Dan Guy; But if any one ' s late, I venture to state It ' s sure to be one of the Angi. When the bell rings at morning or night You may bet to a second it ' s right, For Psychologists state that you cannot be late If you wear black pyjamas like White. Skipper Davidson ' s team you ought all to have seen, Fat like Duncan or tall, lean and narrow ; If the forwards don ' t pack well, Hutch, Selby and Blackwell, Blame Angus and Fraser and Yarrow. There ' s Todd and Hyde, both rather loopy, Kidd, Williams and Symons, the croupy ; That pestilent fury, the Yukoner, Drury, And lastly the arch rabbit, Doopy. Page Six Brentwood College Magazine We have trenchermen stout who would not feel blown out By the quantities primitive men ate ; May I mention by name without causing them shame ' Mongst others Pip Osier and Bennett ; And where can you match One-Gun Kelley Whose super capacity belly At breakfast partakes of a box of cornflakes Plus porridge, eggs, bacon and jelly. Now that Christmas is near with its message of cheer Let me add to the usual expressions The best of good wishes for all British dishes To fill up our present depressions. All gloomy forebodings, let ' s ban ' em, Our schemes will turn out as we plan ' em, For if I ' m not mistaken the Empire has taken Our motto, De Mann In Manum. Chapel Notes LACK of funds has made it impossible this year to take any important steps towards completion of the interior of the building. It has been possible, however, to put in enough seats to accommodate the present members of the School, and our thanks are due to Archdeacon Laycock for the great trouble he took in working out the designs for these. Colonel Sharland has been kind enough to present a master ' s stall in the name of his son, C. P. Sharland, and, on his departure for England, to bequeath us the bell from Queenswood House. This bell, which he brought out from England, is believed to be about 300 years old. It is hoped to find out the details of its past history before long. There is still an outstanding debt on the Chapel building of approximately $2,000. Through the extreme generosity of Mr. D. J. Angus this is being taken care of at present ; but contributions towards the reduction of this debt are most earnestly desired. By the kindness of Bishop Lloyd we were able to hold a Confirmation in the chapel on April 6, when the following were confirmed : Angus ii, Kidd, Symons, Todd. Williams. Rev. S. S. A. Bastin has been good enough to give us a monthly Communion service throughout the year, and we have had the pleasure of hearing the follow- ing visiting preachers: Dean Quainton, Archdeacon Laycock, Rev. Barton, Rev. Comley, Rev. Hughes, Rev. Smith and Rev. Willis; H. P, Hope, Esq., and K. Symons, Esq. Page Seven B r e n t w o o d C o liege M a g a z i n e ) HE 1st, under the able captaincy of Woods, have every reason to feel satisfied that they have kept up the reputation of previous years. An overwhelming defeat at the hands of Shawnigan Lake School at the very beginning of the season did much to put them in the right frame of mind in which to start the season, for the team improved consistently throughout the two terms and finished the season on the top of their form. They did not enter the Intermediate League this year. Nevertheless, the keenness of September was maintained until the very end, and in the second term they managed to beat the winners and runners-up of that League. More attention should be given next year to the training of an accurate place-kicker. The 2nd XV played a number of matches and gained valuable experience in the game for next year. The thanks of the 1st XV are due to them for the opposition they afforded and the knocks they suffered in practice games. WOODS (captain, fly half) : A good tackle and safe hands. He was quick off the mark and usually managed to get his three-quarters moving. A good captain on the field. TODD I (wing three-quarter): He has improved very much in attack and defence. Quick off the mark, fast, and a prolific scorer. WILKINSON (centre three-quarter): He returned late to the team owing to injuries sustained last year. A strong runner; sound in defence, who combined well with Todd. KINLOCK (forward): A good hard worker who led the pack well. ANGUS I (scrum-half): Keen and hard working. A safe tackle and a good kick that did much to spare the forwards. ROBERTS (forward): A hard worker. He played some good games but was rather prone to freeze onto the ball. MACKIE (forward): A fast winging forward. He always got across well to smother the opposing attack. He was occasionally carried away by excess of zeal. ELMORE (forward): A sound, hard-working but rather noisy forward. Good in the loose. CAMPBELL (forward): A good hook. Very useful in the loose. Page Eight NOTES ON THE PLAYERS Brentwood College M a g a z i n e McCAFFREY (wing three-quarter): A strong runner, dangerous in attack, and sound in defence. KELLEY (forward): A useful hard-working forward. He pushed well in the tight and dribbled well in the loose. MANNIX (forward): A player who improved considerably during the season. A good tackle and useful in the lineout. NEWCOMB (centre three-quarter): He has picked up the game well. He has safe hands and with more experience should prove a useful player. PHILIP (forward): A heavy forward who used his weight in the scrum. He must learn what to do with the ball when he rinds it in his hands. WEST (fullback): He tackles hard but too often misses his man. His kicking improved considerably. Davidson, Osier and Hyde also rendered valuable assistance to the 1st XV on several occasions. SUMMARY— Played 10, won 6, lost :!, drawn 1. Brentwood CollKGE v. Oak Bay Wanderers ( Draw, 3-3 ) The first match of the season produced keen competition. Although, through lack of practice, there was not much team work, the forwards showed promise, and Philip scored from a good forward rush. The play was evenly contested throughout the second half, but within a few minutes of the final whistle the Wanderers were awarded a free kick which they converted from the School twenty-five. Page Nine Brentwood College Magazine Brentwood College v. Shawnigan Lake School (Lost, 5-52) This match, played at Shawnigan, was not quite as one-sided as the score would suggest. Every member of the team played hard throughout, but weight and experience were against us, and despite our best efforts, the Shawnigan three-quarters were able to score with regularity throughout the game. In the second half Mackie made an opening for Todd, who made a spectacular run to score between the posts. Angus converted it. Brentwood College v. Oak Bay High School (Won, 11-6) In this match the 1st XV showed an all-round improvement over the form shown in the two previous games. This was especially noticeable amongst the three-quarters. The High School opened the scoring after a determined attack. Play centred for a time in mid-field until Todd broke away for a try for us, which Angus converted. In the second half Todd carried the ball into High School territory and Philip scored. Todd soon added another try for Angus to convert. The High School forwards, who had been pressing hard for some time, went over for their final try. Brentwood College v. Victoria College (Won, 11-0) The play opened with the home team forwards in control of the ball ; it was quickly heeled and passed out to Todd, who went over for a try within two minutes of the opening whistle. Angus converted the kick. For some time play centred about mid-field, neither side showing any decided superiority. Just before half time we again pressed our opponents to their line but a good kick relieved the pressure. After half time our forwards again showed their superiority, and after a short passing movement, Roberts scored. Shortly after this Victoria College started a strong attack, but Todd, receiving the ball in our own twenty- five, promptly ran through the visiting team for another unconverted try. Brentwood College v. Shawnigan Lake School (Lost, 28-3) Todd opened the scoring with an unconverted try, but the Shawnigan team soon got into its stride and scored five times in the first half. None of these tries were converted. In the second half we forced the ball into their territory where an unsuccessful attempt was made to convert a penalty kick. Four more tries were added to the visitors ' total, one of which was converted. We again went down to defeat to a much superior team, but the difference in the scores of the two games showed the extent of the improvement of the Brentwood team. Brentwood College v. University School (Lost, 14-3) This game was played on our own ground in heavy rain. The visiting team outweighed us in the scrum, and after a good run by the three-quarters, which resulted in a try by Todd, their forwards dominated the game for some time, but their repeated forward rushes only produced one try for them before half time. After half time the game became almost entirely a duel between the forwards, of which the University School pack got the better. They scored their second try early in the second half, and before the final whistle had added two more tries to make the final score of 14 points to 3. Page Ten B r e ii t w ood College Magazine Brentwood College v. 5th Regt. (Won, 18-3) This match was played on our own grounds under good conditions. We were on the offensive from the start, and after a number of good three-quarter runs, Todd went over for the first try. It was not converted. Almost immediately McCaffrey scored between the posts after a good three-quarter run. The next try was scored by Todd after some good footwork by the forwards. The visitors ' only try was scored just before half-time. Brentwood opened the second half with a concentrated forward rush which resulted in a try by Mackie. Todd then scored again, and just before the final whistle McCaffrey broke away and scored from about the halfway line. Brentwood College v. Oak Bay High School (Lost, 9-8) For this match we did not field the full 1st XV. Our opponents were markedly superior in the first half in attack, but Brentwood defence held, and the score at half-time was three all. The Oak Bay forwards kept well on the ball and scored again early in the second half. Todd was then moved in to the fly-half position, and a try for us immediately followed. In the last few minutes of the game, a fine kick from a penalty gave our opponents the victory by one point. Brentwood College v. Canadian Scottish (Won, 15-0) McCaffrey scored the opening try, which was soon followed by one by Todd, after a free kick. Neither try was converted. A good three-quarter run soon sent Todd over for another try. The score at half-time stood at 9-0 in our favour. The Scottish forwards opened the second half with a strong attack, but failed to score. Todd then gathered the ball from a loose scrum to score again. Woods then made a good opening for McCaffrey to score. The Scottish forwards then worked hard but were resolutely held by our pack and failed to score. Brentwood College v. University School (Won, 3-0) This match was played at Mt. Tolmie after a heavy overnight rain which made handling very difficult for the three-quarters. For the first half we had the wind behind us which enabled us to gain ground with long kicks. Our forwards proved themselves a match for their heavier opponents, and in spite of the slipperiness of the ball the three-quarters handled well and were able to feed the wings. Todd scored far out from such a movement, and soon after McCaf- frey crossed the opponents ' line only to lose control when in the act of touching it down. The second half, though scoreless, produced some very sound and exciting play. Brentwood forwards took no chances and kept well on the ball throughout, and the outsides tackled with determination. Brentwood College v. Oak Bay Wanderers (Won, 15-0) This game was played on our own ground in a drizzle of rain. The play opened by Brentwood carrying the ball over the opponents ' line, but it was touched down. A full three-quarter movement sent McCaffrey over for a try soon afterwards. The Wanderers ' counter attack proved unavailing, and Brent- wood soon had the ball back into their twenty-five, and Todd scored. In the Page Eleven Brentwood College Magazine second half their forwards pressed hard but Roberts broke away and dribbled the ball almost to their goal line. The resulting three-quarter movement was backed up by Angus, who went over for a try. Towards the end of the second half Todd went over twice. Throughout the game the passing of the three- quarters was consistently good. The: House: Match Although the Lower House had most of the 1st XV three-quarters, the match was keenly contested from start to finish. The first half went to the Lower House — McCafTrey, Woods, Wilkinson and Todd all scoring on three- quarter runs, the last named scoring twice. The sixth try was scored by Kinloch, who ably led the forwards. The second half, however, told a very different story. The Upper House forwards played well up on the ball and smothered the attempted three-quarter runs of the Lower House, holding them scoreless. West scored a try for the Upper House, which Angus converted, to make the final score 18-5. Dramatic Society THE Dramatic Society has manifested its activities on two occasions this session, at the Old Boys ' Sing Song and at the Christmas concert. On Old Boys ' Day the School was stunned and a little awed by a shadow- graph reproduction of an operation on D. F. Kinlock by W. B. Mackie and L. H. Wilkinson. When we say that in the presentation, trepanning, amputation and evisceration were all light heartedly performed, without any undue injury to the patient, some idea of the magnitude of the production may be gained. Mackie, Wilkinson and Kinlock worked very hard at rehearsals, and their success was merited. At the Christmas concert the programme was arranged in the form of a series of short sketches supporting the main feature, a one-act play by Eric Forbes Boyd entitled Maripoza Bung, or The Pirate ' s Daughter. This, a story of the high seas, in which virtue is rewarded in no uncertain manner, lent itself to an intensely melodramatic interpretation. Bertram Carew (P. C. Bennett), as a bold, handsome stranger, wooed Maripoza Bung (Williams ) with a pleasing fearlessness. Maripoza succumbed to his ardent gaze without too much difficulty, appropriately enough, in the last line of the play. Captain ( Burn My Whiskers ) Bung was played in a very hearty fashion. He nearly forgot his lantern at one tragic point of the play, but covered his mistake with a brilliant piece of acting. Ben the bo ' s ' n was played by Kidd, who simulated fear in great fashion throughout most of the play. Squibs, the cabin boy (Elmore), was very good indeed, and it was a pity that the part was not big enough to give him more opportunity. Mr. Haddon made excellent scenery for us, with many nautical touches, and the engineer produced with great ingenuity a wicked looking six-pounder carronade, complete with ram- rod. One of Bung ' s ancestors, Lord Bhong of Bhongo, was hung on the cabin wall, and he added an air of rampant conviviality to the scene. Page Twelve Brent w ood College M a g a z i n e RAINY weather during the first few weeks of the term sadly curtailed the length of the season, and we were able to play only three matches other than the staff game and the House Match. Nevertheless the team acquitted themselves well and, with few players from whom to choose, managed to draw two of the Inter- School matches. The fielding of the team was good and did much to offset the lack of change of bowlers. The batting, on the whole, was very promising. In addition, the School beat the Staff by 47 runs and the Upper House gained an easy victory over the Lower House. Results of matches follow : Brentwood College v.

Our hrst match was on May 6th, against Mr. Izard ' s team, and although our team was bol- stered by the addition of Mr. Phillips and Mr. Privett, the visitors won five matches to our four. On the 20th of May we again suffered defeat at the hands of Mr. Izard ' s team. This time we were unable to complete all the matches owing to lack of time, and the final score was five matches to two. Our first win was on the 1st of June, when we played University School, and after several very evenly contested sets, we won, four matches to three. Our last match was on the 20th of June, when we played the Brentwood ladies ' team. Our team finally won out, winning five matches to three for the ladies, while one match remained unplayed. In the finals of the School singles tournament, Woods met Angus, the former winning, 6-4, 6-2, 6-3. In the finals of the doubles tournament, Woods and Angus defeated Osier and Selby, 6-2, 7-5, 8-6. The tennis in the School improved greatly towards the latter part of the season, and we wish to thank Mr. Hincks for his interest and the time he spent in coaching the younger boys. B r e ii t w o o d C o 1 1 e g e M a g a z i n e Zfotf Club IN spite of the rather reduced number of boys who took part in rowing this season, we were able to put four crews on the water. Through the very excellent coaching of Mr. Ellis and Mr. W. G. 1. Hope we have been able to maintain the high standard which has been set in previous years by Brentwood crews. Shawnigan Lake School very kindly loaned us a coach boat four, and this greatly aided the teaching of elementary principles to novices. We were very fortunate in having access to Mr. Butchart ' s speed boat which greatly facilitated the coaching. We are indeed very grateful to Mr. Butchart for his kindness. On June 17, we rowed two races against the J.B.A.A. on their Gorge course. In the junior race our crew won by four lengths. This victory was offset by the defeat of the first crew by two lengths in the senior race. On Speech Day an inter-house race was held which was won by Cock ' s House. The first crew race, which was to be rowed in Vancouver against St. George ' s School on June 29th, had to be cancelled, owing to the unfortunate illness of a member of their crew. On the whole, we have had a very enjoyable and successful year ' s rowing. Rowing Personalities First Four W. B. MACKIE (bow): A keen and energetic Captain of Boats. He worked hard in practice and raced well, though he never quite learned to co-ordinate the movements of his body and slide. C. E. CAMPBELL (2): Improved greatly during practice, developing into a very useful oar. L. H. WILKINSON (3): A rather rough but very powerful oar, he supplied more than his share of the motive power of the boat. J. L. HYDE (stroke) : Though an ugly oar, he was invaluable as a stroke. He had a good sense of rhythm and always drove his crew hard. Page Eighteen B r e 11 1 w ood College M agazine Second Four G. H. DAVIDSON (bow): Made considerable improvement during practice. Must learn to control his sliding better. T. A. KELLEY (2): A clumsy oar, with a poor body-swing at present, but a very hard worker and so worth his place in the boat. D. B. ELMORE (3): A real worker with a useful style. Somewhat handicapped by a lack of inches. D. KINLOCH (stroke): A very promising oarsman. He has a nice easy style, and drove his crew well in the race. Athletics The cross-country was run over practically the same course as last year and was again won by Hyde in the good time of 17 minutes 37 seconds. Elmore was close on his heels at the top of the cement hill and finished a good second, with Mackie third. Due to some obscure geographical reason, certainly not the lack of rain, the water crossing did not afford the usual entertainment for the spectators. The annual Inter-House Sports were held on Saturday, April 13th. There were several good performances, and two records were beaten. The Lower House were again the winners of the Inter-House competition. Records : Todd i — 100 yards, 10 1-5 sees, as against his own record of 10 2-5 sees, in 1932.

Page Nineteen Brentwood College Magazine Speech Day, 1933 THE tenth Annual Speech Day of the College was celebrated on Saturday, June 24th, when a large number of parents and friends of the School were entertained by an interesting and varied programme. The after- noon ' s activities commenced with a series of athletic events, canoe tilting, diving, swimming and rowing, in which the boys showed excellent form. As a last feature on the athletic side of the programme, one of the boys gave a display of aquaplaning. His antics greatly amused the spectators. The company then adjourned for the speeches and presentation of prizes in the gymnasium. The Headmaster, Mr. M. H. Ellis, briefly reviewed the activities of the School in the past year. In referring to the difficulties which the School had encountered, namely, a new Headmaster and a small school, he was pleased to record that it had triumphed splendidly over both. This was largely due to the loyalty of both masters and boys at all times. He emphasised the manner in which studies were treated at Brentwood, and pointed to the eighty per cent success which the School attained in Public Examinations last year. He con- cluded by introducing Miss Gildea, Headmistress of Strathcona Lodge School, who had kindly consented to present the prizes. Miss Gildea, who is one of the foremost educationists in the Province, spoke brilliantly on the future of education in Canada. She compared aristoc- racies of wealth and tradition with the true aristocracy of education, and while not belittling the influence of the former, she emphasised the value of the latter to any community. The speaker referred to the trend of modern education, as exemplified by the findings of the Convention at Nice, which she attended. These theorists, in the van of educational matters, emphasised the importance of two great factors in education, spirituality and freedom. In concluison, Miss Gildea asked for a closer and more sympathetic understanding between the theorist and the practical man, between the spiritual and the real. After Dr. Scott-MoncriefT had thanked Miss Gildea, the prizes were pre- sented, and everybody adjourned to a very pleasant tea on the verandah. School Prizes Grade X Form Prize — G. P. Kidd.
