Brentwood College Magazine Speech Day DESPITE threatening weather for more than a week before, we were endowed with a fine day for the Eighteenth Annual Speech Day, which was held on Saturday, July 21st. As in the past, the school cricket XI. played a keenly contested match with the Headmaster ' s XL, which included representative fathers and Old Boys, and friends of the school. Play was begun in the forenoon and resumed after a luncheon interval. The final score was 105 runs to 54, in favour of the School XI. The capacity of the gymnasium was severely taxed when, promptly at three o ' clock, Mr. Privett rose to address the many parents and friends who had assembled there for the distribution of prizes and awards. Beginning his report, Mr. Privett made mention of the splendid matri- culation results that had been obtained and expressed hope that the forth- coming examinations might measure up to the previous standard. In brief references, he commented on the loss the school had suffered in the retirement of Miss Egerton, who had served the school as matron for so many years; and of the departure of Mr. Taylor, who had taken up duty with the R.C.N.V.R. Reviewing the highlights of the year, the formation of a Cadet Corps; the completion of a Tennis Court; and the success of the Rugby and Cricket teams were mentioned as further signs of the splendid team-spirit of the school as a whole. In conclusion, Mr. Privett expressed thanks to Sir Heaton Forbes- Robinson for the oil painting portrait of the late Mr. Lindley Crease, which he had recently presented to the school. There followed the introduction of Professor Farr of the Victoria College who, in a pithy address, stressed the value of Sir Henry Newbolt ' s lines; Play up! Play up! And play the game! , asserting the value of such a maxim to those who were leaving the school to make their way in the outer world. After the speaker ' s remarks, Mrs. D. J. Angus, whom the Headmaster introduced as a friend of very long standing of the school, graciously presented the prizes, receiving as she did so, a colourfully attractive colonial bouquet presented by Master David Privett. After tea, visitors were given an opportunity of viewing exhibits of Photography, Manual Training, Drawing and Model Aeroplanes which had been placed in the library. [Page Twenty-Eight]
