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 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

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
