Brentwood College Magazine Editorial NINETEEN thirty-five — A momentous year! For the first time for many years our numbers have shown an increase over the attendance for the previous year ; a happy omen, let us hope, for the future. This is a Jubilee Year indeed, for, in addition to our loyal rejoicings at the twenty-fifth anniversary of the accession of our King, we have to tender our hearty con- gratulations to St. Michael ' s School on reaching its Silver Jubilee ; and add our best wishes for its continued success in the future. St. Michael ' s and Brent- wood have always been associated in a close friendship; never closer than at the present time ; long may it last. It is disappointing to note once again a depressing absence of original con- tributions in this year ' s magazine from members of the School. It seems a pity that our intellectual output should be so low that the Magazine must consist almost entirely of a survey of the athletic and other official activities of the year, which can never provide the most interesting reading. The plea that numbers are too small to produce authors is inadequate. There is a certain Californian school with twenty-eight boys which produces its own paper once a month, and there the boys do all the ' ' chores besides their games and school work. It is time that Brentwood sloughed off this present apathy and produced a magazine of real interest, made up of contributions from boys of all ages. There is a mistaken idea that original articles for a school magazine must be either excrutiatingly funny or else dramatically sensational. This is far from being the case. There can hardly be a boy in the school who has not had some experience which it is worth his while to tell the world about, without launch- ing into the more difficult realms of fiction or of verse. It is from this well of experience that we should like to draw the water which will make of every future magazine a living thing. School Notes The number of boys in the School this year has been twenty-eight. The School Prefects were G. P. Kidd and E. M. Williams. Congratulations to : G.
