B rent w ood Col 1 e g e JV1 a g a z i u e Editorial THE year 1935-36 is one that will long- be remembered. It has indeed been a period of transition — a time when the torch is passed on from the hands of dying leaders to the younger generation which Is supplant- ing them. During the past year many famous leaders of men — King George V, Jellicoe, Beatty, Allenby — passed to their Creator, leaving the burden of leadership to the succeeding generation. Brentwood, too, is in a period of transition. Those boys who have borne the burden of maintaining the standards of the School through the lean years are handing over their duties to the future prefects and seniors of a fuller school. Numbers have been growing slowly but steadily during the past two years, and prospects for next year are brighter still. We feel that we can look upon the past year with complacence and upon the future with confidence. School Notes We welcome this year two new masters in the persons of Mr. Eric Quainton and Mr. P. Taylor. Long may they be with us ! School Prefects were: G. P. Kidd (Head of School), M. B. Symons, D. L. Barrett-Lennard, A. Duncan. D. Angus. Four out of five candidates successfully passed Junior Matriculation ex- aminations in July, 1935. Kidd had an average of over 75%, with 95% in Chemistry. H K We congratulate G. Phillips on passing into R.C.N, and E. M. Williams on being accepted by R.M.C. Two successful excursions were made to St. George ' s School in Vancouver, and Rugby, Basketball, Rowing and Tennis matches were played, Brentwood winning three out of the four events. K H . Most of the School went to see the All-Blacks play in Victoria, and should have picked up some ideas on the finer points of rugby football from this game. 5{i During the Easter term, a number of boys were guests at an enjoyable Valentine Dance held by the St. Margaret ' s Seniors. Let us hope that this spirit of inter-school social activities will continue. Page Four

Brent w ood College Magazine Towards the end of the Summer term, a cricket team from North Shore College in Vancouver spent a week-end at the School. A party of Seniors from Moran School, Seattle, were luncheon guests one day in the Summer term, the object of their visit being to promote fellowship. fc (c ijc We welcome commercialism in the establishment of the Senior Common Room Bar. It has proved a success, profits being enough to abolish Common Room fees, and to pay for the orchestra and decorations for the dance. Occasional Jottings We raise the editorial hat to: Those boys who got up at 4:45 a.m. on two occasions to hear broadcasts of King George ' s funeral and King Edward ' s proclamation. The boy who, when asked if he wanted to see the All-Blacks play, said Is that the French film, sir? Izard for his performance on the chapel bell. He should apply at the Cathedral as a ringer. Clist for a good attempt to anchor his boat with an outboard motor. It was unfortunate that he omitted to attach a rope. J. Hayseed Wells on joining Uncle Ben ' s Sun Ray Club. The boy who said that Walloons are ' something the Dutch wear. ' The potential pianists who entertain the Seniors during prep. A straw 7 ballot revealed that Chopsticks was the name of the most popular piece that was played. !$£ 3|C 2|C pj« Rumor has it that, during the rainy season, those unacquainted with the climate mistook Mr. Privett ' s boat for the Ark. {c Jc j| pfc. During the snow, the Seniors found that pushing cars up the hill was both a philanthropic and a profitable employment. The Head ' s dog, Pat, enthusiastically takes part in all School activities, even helping at P.T. by licking one boy ' s face. The student who, during the lecture on The Crown Jewels, came to the conclusion that he was related to King Athelstan was soon disillusioned, and reverted to his allegiance to the Mills Brothers.
