Richardson, O.B.E., in accepting an invitation to take charge of the Rifle Club, a distinct improvement in the standard of the shooting, and an increased efficiency in the conduct of mat- ters pertaining to the club, have resulted. In a post season letter addressed to the Headmaster, Major Richardson says, in part : — From the start several of the class earned recognition, Field being high for the first three practices, closely followed by Bassett, D. Holmes, Ryan, Johnston, Milligan, and Beard. Among the Juniors, Nairn, who recently joined the College, deserves special recognition for his remarkable progress; he promises to become an outstanding student of rifle work. D. Holmes proved a very efficient Team Commander. The rifles were always in splendid condition, stores, etc., present and correct. Major Richardson adds, we are pleased to note, that he has enjoyed his work with the College and will be pleased to continue with us in the future. The ratings that qualify are AA1, A A, A are as follows: — SENIORS JUNIORS AAI AA A AAI AA A Field Bassett Hinton Nairn MacKenzie Dunlcp Milligan D. Holmes N. Wilby P.

Brentwood College Magazine N.P.A.A.O. REGATTA The Brentwood crew entered for the Junior Fours in this regatta, which was held at Elk Lake on July 1st. There was a strong westerly wind which made the water rough. Brentwood had as their opponents a strong crew from the Vancouver Rowing Club and a fairly experienced J.B.A.A. four. Vancouver took the lead early in the race, with Brentwood ahead of James Bay. These positions were maintained up to the mile point, though by this time V ancouver had increased their lead and Brentwood had lost ground through faulty steering and by rowing rather too slow a stroke. At the critical moment Brentwood faltered for 4 or 5 strokes, while James Bay started to spurt and went ahead. Symons answering spurt came too late. Vancouver finished about 12 seconds ahead of James Bay, with Brentwood another 10 seconds behind. The winner ' s time was 7 minutes 23 seconds. Track and Sport ' s Day ALTHOUGH the track season was very short owing to the fact that Sport ' s Day was held on May 1st, this year saw far greater enthus- iasm and much competition was offered to all runners. Our track team is being built up, year by year, and it is hoped that next year., we shall be strong enough to enter inter-school track meets. The finish of this year ' s Steeplechase, held April 22nd, was very close, Ross winning the race by a few yards from Field. Holmes, D., won the Inter- mediate Class, and Clist, the Junior. On Sport ' s Day there was again a great deal of competition, especially for the Victor Ludorum Cup, which was won by Field with 14 points, only y 2 more points than Asselstine. Holmes, D., took the Intermediate Cup and Clist, the Junior. Page Twenty-one

Brentwood College Magazine During the past sum- mer term, for the first time in a number of years sailing once again came into its own. The fleet consisted of two dinghies, a flattie, and a snipe, all privately owned, in addition to the venerable college kitten. The last named craft, known to past generations of Brentonians as The Black Cat, was overhauled and refitted during the winter by Mr. Taylor and his assistants to such good effect that throughout the season she showed her heels to all comers in a manner almost undignified for one of her age. While there were a considerable number of candidates for the fair weather test, lack of satisfactory heavy weather prevented any attempts being made to pass the more difficult heavy weather test. Those success- fully passing the former were : — Bassett, Cooke, Harvey, Hinton, Hotham, Rogers, Ryan and N. Wilby. Model Aeroplane Club Early in the summer term the model aeroplane club was revived. Air. Hincks kindly accepted an invitation to be the master in charge of the club. At the first official club meeting which was held on April 25th, two officers were elected from the fourteen enthusiastic model builders who attended. These were G. Milligan, Wing Commander (he later resigned in favour of G. Hotham) and K. R. Nairn, secretary-treasurer. Permission was obtained from the Headmaster to use the room below the classrooms as a workshop. The club dues are a modest ten cents a term which will be used as a subscrip- tion to a model aeroplane magazine. Prospects for the future are most favourable. Stamp Club Among the many new activities which have sprung into being, with mushroom-like rapidity, this year, is the school stamp club. While the collecting of stamps is no new fad about the school, it was not until February of this year that a philatelist ' s club was properly estab- lished. Page Twenty-three
