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.

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

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.
