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

Brentwood College Magazine School Notes We offer our condolences to Mr. N. Davis on the loss of his wife. We welcome to our midst this year a new master, Mr. E. L. Bott, who apart from having assumed his routine duties has already become the moving- spirit in many clubs and projects about the school. The school prefects this year were: — C. M. B. Symons (Head of the School), J. W. Asselstine, A. H. Mitchell, A. Izard, J. A. Wells. We offer our congratulations to : W. Clist and E. Sunderland on their success in the scholarship examinations. Mr. Taylor and his assistant, R. C. Field, on their successful reorganization of the reference library. P. Andrus and W. Drury on the first class condition in which they kept the rugby field during the cricket and track seasons. The whole school was able to listen to the Coronation broadcast as radios, strategically placed along the dormitory floors, were turned on at 2 :00 in the morning. After a holiday in town on Coronation Day a large bonfire was built on the point that evening to link up the series of fires which stretched across Canada. ♦ .% We now have an excellent new float at the boathouse : built on pontoons, it should last almost indefinitely. » During the course of the year two major improvements have been effected in the appearance of the College grounds. In front of the building the old steps leading down to the tennis courts have been eradicated in favour of an equally useful and far more ornamental set that now curve down the bank a short distance away. On the other side of the building a no less constructive change has been made : the unsightly garages that stood opposite to the main entrance have been torn down permitting completion of the stone wall that has been built into the bank from end to end.
