Brentwood College Magazine School Notes IT was with a sad heart that we said good-bye to Mr. Ellis, the Head- master, when early in the Michaelmas term, he left us to serve with the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve. On the eve of his departure for Halifax some months later, it was our happy privilege to show our apprecia- tion of his work at Brentwood in a more tangible manner than had been possible when the news of his leaving first reached us. We take this oppor- tunity of wishing him every success in his new undertaking. The sense of loss occasioned by the sudden leave-taking of Mr. Ellis was mitigated when we heard that the Board of Governors had honoured Mr. Privett ' s many years of loyal service to Brentwood in elevating him to the position of Headmaster. For the school, this has been a wise and happy choice. Under his guidance, we know that the school will maintain its high standard of efficiency in every department. It would seem that the shock of promotion was too much for the new Headmaster. No sooner had we settled down under the new regime, than we heard of his ignominius removal, in the depth of night, to the Royal Jubilee Hospital, where he underwent a major operation which necessitated his being away until the beginning of the Lent term. Our prayers, best wishes for a speedy recovery, and possibly our flowers, together with the tender ministrations of the nurses in the Jubilee, achieved the desired effect — a complete restoration to good health. Capt. Levien, whose experiences cover a wide field, was called upon to act for the Headmaster until the end of term. With the co-operation of the staff and the school as a whole, he did a satisfactory job, and earned the gratitude of everyone. 1 1 i In September, Mrs. G. Roberts took over the duties of Matron to the Upper House from Miss Bradley-Dyne, who left us to enter the Royal Jubilee Hospital as Nurse-in-training. To the latter, we extend our good wishes for success in her career; and to the former goes a fervent wish that she will enjoy her work with us. i i i We also welcomed to our midst this year two new masters, Mr. C. A. S. Legge, who apart from his routine duties has given considerable aid to the Rowing Club; and the Rev. J. H. H. Watts, who arrived in late October. Apart from his office as school padre, he superintended the activities of the Rifle Club. I Page Seven ]
