Brentwood College Magazine THE past school year is not one that can be lightly passed over into Brentwood ' s history with a complacent shrug of the shoulders, or the casual, Just another year! From the beginning of the Michaelmas term, when Brentwood embarked on her first war year, to the inglorious end of summer term with its outbreak of Measles, the school calendar had been unusually full, and the School and House spirit an exceptionally dominant factor. Since school re-opening coincided with the declaration of war, it was not surprising that there should be a noticeable decrease in numbers. This, however, was somewhat supplemented after the Christmas holidays with the advent of boys arriving from English schools. Though we anticipated the necessity of making minor adjust- ments, we were a little unprepared for the many vicissitudes which circumstances forced upon us at the outset.

Brentwood College Magazine note is the vigorous interest displayed in the work of the Old Brentonians ' Association. The well-attended Old Boys ' dinner held in Vancouver during the Christmas term proving a singular example of the stability of Brentwood. In conclusion, it is fitting that we should comment on the strong representation of the school in the three services of His Majesty ' s forces at home and abroad. The part that Brentwood, through her sons, plays in this vast struggle against twentieth- century barbarism must be left for future historians of the school to record. Meanwhile, we wish them all good luck and God ' s speed in their noble enterprise. In view of the perilous days which may lie ahead, we who return, would do well to pledge ourselves to uphold the traditions established before us; resolving to live up to the Ideals of Brent- wood as expressed by the first Head Master, Mr. H. P. Hope, in his foreword to the first issue of the College Magazine: De Manu in Manum Be true to our Ideals. Guard our Honour. Set high our Standards of Excellence. Then, When your time comes to hand on the torch You may justly feel proud in having played Your part in the founding of Brentwood. TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT [ Page Four)
