Brentwood College Magazine Editorial AT the beginning of the Summer Term, 1937, there came into being a group known as The Pioneers. Whether the name was chosen by happy chance or by serious thought is a matter of little moment ; but, having been chosen, it may be singled out as a mark of recognition of a fresh spirit that has taken hold of Brentwood during the course of the past year. Throughout the year there has gradually become more and more strikingly apparent the presence in the school of something of the spirit of the pioneers of days gone by : that spirit that urges development in new directions, that sees visions for the future and stimulates effort toward their realization. New and quickened interests have been made manifest in many ways. The marked improvement that has taken place in the appearance of the college grounds : the formation of a Model Aeroplane Club and of a Philatelic Club : the more than usually enthusiastic response that has been evoked by games, sports, and music : these may be cited as examples. And so the close of the year finds all members of the College, both staff and boys, looking to the future in a spirit that presages healthy growth and glad comradeship. HENRY POLLOCK HOPE The death occurred very suddenly in June of Mr. H. P. Hope, the first headmaster of Brentwood. Mr. Hope came to Brentwood on its foundation in 1923 from a very successful tenure of office as Principal of Oak Bay High School in Vic- toria. He had behind him a long experience in the school system of British Columbia and a splendid reputation as a teacher. It is not surprising that he quickly established at Brentwood a high standard of scholastic attainment. Through his energy and enthusiasm the new school developed very fast and made a name for itself throughout the province. After holding the headmastership for nine years, Mr. Hope retired in 1932. Undoubtedly his greatest achievement and his most lasting memorial is found in the College Chapel, which he worked so untiringly to build and to beautify. Page Three
