Brentwood College Magazine Brentwood College, June 24, 1939. The Editor, Brentwood College Magazine. Dear Sir: We wish to express our very grateful thanks to Mr. D. J. Angus and Mr. N. Whit tall, who very generously donated the money to build the greenhouse, which has already proved itself to be invaluable. Our thanks are also due to various parents and friends who have contributed money and plants for the gardens. We had the soil in the garden analyzed and it was found to be lacking in several very essential minerals; we have now obtained the correct fertilizer and have already noticed better results. It is proposed to alter some of the beds in front of the school, and with the tulip bulbs kindly donated by Mr. and Mrs. M . H. Ellis, we hope to have a good show next spring. We should like in conclusion to thank several of the boys who have given up some of their spare time in helping with watering, weeding and odd jobs. Yours faithfully, E. D. W. LEVIEN. VALETE W. D. C.

Sight of the College reminded him of a small sum of money borrowed from another Old Boy. J. Bryden, eleven years before. Inquiry showed that Bryden was living in the neigh- bourhood, so Johnson tracked him to his lair, liquidated the forgotten debt; ginger ale was called for, and old days rehashed. [Page Thirty-One]
