B r e 11 1 w o o d C o liege Magazine Editorial THE school magazine has always the somewhat morbid duty of registering the passage of yet another school year. 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
