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. Davidson on gaining a Cadetship in the R.C.N. J. M. Selby on passing London Matriculation. D. Barrett-Lennard on winning the Junior Singles in the Vancouver Island Badminton Championships.

Brentwood College Magazine Mr. Cunliffe, who joined the staff as gardener after Christmas, is rapidly improving the appearance of the grounds. Manual Training Classes have been held regularly throughout the year, with satisfactory results. Mr. F. Hole, who is in charge of these classes, adopts the Straffordian attitude of Thorough. Valete B. S. Alexander (U), Grade XI, 1st XV Rugby. R. Thwaites (U), Grade IX, 1st XV Rugby, 1st Crew, Basketball Team, 2nd Badminton IV. G. Phillips (U) School Matriculation Prize. Passed into R.C.N. We have to thank Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Angus for the gift of a splendid gramophone, with the object of providing greater opportunities for musical appreciation. Lectures There was a noticeable scarcity of lectures during the Christmas Term, which it is hoped the authorities will take steps to remedy in the future. We did, however, enjoy visits from Mr. French and Mr. Izard. Mr. French, who has spent many years in the service of the Hudson ' s Bay Company, gave a most interesting illustrated talk on life in the Arctic, which showed an intimate knowledge of whaling, sealing and the Eskimo people. Mr. Izard told us about the planning, building and launching of a big liner, using the Queen Mary as an example. By a skillful use of illustrations, he managed to convey to his audience some idea of the vast size of these super-ships. The real lecture season got under way during the Easter Term, when each Wednesday evening from 7.45 onwards was devoted to some form of entertainment. Outstanding among the lecturers were : Captain Gibson, an experienced climber in the Canadian Rockies, whose talk on mountaineering, illustrated by some magnificent slides, made thrilling entertainment. Mr. K. C. Symons, who made history vitally interesting in his lecture on the Museum of Public Records in London, a museum of whose existence very few people seem to be aware. It is suspected that a number of mental vows to visit it were registered at the end of his talk. Mr. Nation, who gave us a very interesting, if rather technical lecture on geology and mining in British Columbia. This was illustrated both with slides and with specimens of rock and ore. Page Four
