The eliminations and the finals of minor field events had been previously run off so that on Saturday afternoon visitors had the pleasure of seeing the finals of the more important events follow one another in quick succession. Of the many close finishes perhaps the most exciting was that of the 220. Field got away to an early lead, with Johnston running second. Gradu- ally Johnston closed the gap, was neck and neck with Field 10 yards from the finish, and managed to breast the tape no more than a few inches ahead. A. Johnston won the Victor Ludorum. R. E. Pooley, a promising distance runner, captured the intermediate crown, and J. Shields won the Junior Cup. The Inter-House Competition went to the Upper House by a margin of 14 points.

Brentwood College Magazine SCOUTING SCOUTING in the College enjoyed steady progress throughout the school year. In the Christmas term it was found necessary to reorgan- ize the patrols since many new boys had come in to take the place of the few who did not return. This necessitated a new patrol, making four in all. Stephens, A. Gillespie, Mackenzie, and Porter were elected leaders of the Salmon, Cougar, Sea Gull and Lion patrols respectively. The valuable assistance given to the troop last year by Symons and Wells as assistant Scout Masters has been carried on quite ably by A. Johnston and Milligan. Digby and Foot were appointed Troop leaders, Worsley, the Troop scribe and Shields as the Troop bugler. The first event of special interest was the visit to the school of Mr. John A. Stiles of Ottawa, Dominion Chief Executive Commissioner. After a short talk to the assembled school, he expressed a wish to meet the mem- bers of the Troop. He w r as accompanied on his visit here by Mr. W. Solway, Executive Commissioner for B.C. Preparations for the Pacific Northwest Patrol Leader ' s Conference which was to be held in Victoria this year took our attention in November, especially after the Victoria district had conferred a signal honour on Brentwood by selecting Johnston for the Conference chairman. About four hundred scouts from many places on the West Coast fore- gathered in Victoria for the week-end programme of business, debate, sight- seeing and entertainment. At the conference banquet Johnston gave a fine talk on Internationalism in Scouting. Nine Scouts and one Leader from the United States were billeted at the College for the w T eek-end, and appar- ently found their stay quite interesting. The visit ended with a Scouts Own ' held in the school Chapel on Sunday morning. During the Lent term, apart from the regular meetings, several of the leaders attended the Baden-Powell birthday party at Sidney ; the Troop gave useful assistance to the Brentwood Bay Sea Scouts when they put on a con- cert to raise funds for a boat; and a farewell party to Major Wise, the Victoria District Commissioner on the eve of his departure for Scotland. This send off was in the form of an outdoor meeting at the Troop ' s per- manent camp-fire site on the old golf course. With the removal of Patrol Leader Porter through illness, Nairn was made Leader of the Lion Patrol. In the Easter holidays Mr. Bott and Johnston were privileged to do a good turn for the Provincial Headquarters office when they executed a scout survey between Chemainus and Campbell River. They were able to gather a lot of useful information for H.Q., and at the same time to stimulate Page Thirty-Two
