Brentwood College Magazine AS if in recognition of the momentous event, the sun shone brilliantly on the Nineteenth Annual Speech Day, which was held on Saturday, June 20th. The day began with the traditional cricket match between the Headmaster ' s XL, composed of fathers, Old Boys and friends of the school, and the College XI. Although the cricket was mediocre, the game had a dramatic ending when Calhoun, going to bat as last man and needing three runs to win, hit a long ball for two runs and then was bowled to end the game in a draw. The gasoline restrictions might have been expected to limit the number of visitors, but every car that made the trip from town was fully loaded, with the result that when Mr. Privett began his address at 3:30 o ' clock the gymnasium was filled with parents and friends. It was something in the nature of a triumph for the Headmaster to make his annual address, since he had returned from the hospital only five days before. Mr. Privett first mentioned the fact that Mr. Drennan Hincks, long a master in the school, was leaving to venture into matrimony and to teach in Eastern Canada, in both of which he had our best wishes. The Headmaster then went on to point out that it is no easy matter for a school such as this to carry on in these difficult times, but through hard work and co-operation we had carried on with credit and would continue to do so. He told us that last year ' s matriculation classes had done particularly well with a very high average per cent in the examinations. One hundred and forty-four Old Boys and six ex-members of the staff are now serving in the forces, several of them in most important positions. Among others he told us of two out- standing accomplishments of the school — the winning of the Provincial Cham- pionship by the Corps shooting team and the winning of the Track and Field meet in Victoria by eight representatives of the school. With continued co- operation the Headmaster expressed his opinion that we would continue this fine record in the future. Colonel B. R. Mullaly was then introduced. He took as his theme the carrying of the torch, the focal point of the school crest, and once more stressed the ideal of co-operation. The Headmaster then introduced Mrs. Mullaly who graciously presented the prizes, receiving as she finished an attractive bouquet presented by Miss Gillian Bridgman. [Page Twenty-six]

Brentwood College Magazine Inter High School Track and Field Championships Sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. At the last minute it was decided to enter an eight-man team in these cham- pionships held in Victoria on Wednesday, June 3, 1942. Because our own Sports Day had been held some time prior to this and most of the boys had broken training, great hopes were not held for our success. But when the last race had been run great was our joy to discover that Brentwood had edged out Oak Bay High School by the slim margin of one-half point. This result was all the more creditable when it is considered that the enrollment of the schools against which we were competing is many times greater than ours. In presenting the McClennan, McFeely Prior Perpetual Trophy to the school for amassing the most points, Mr. McKinnon, the Physical Director of the Y.M.C.A., stated that Gillespie, who had won three events, was probably the outstanding athlete at the meet. The school won points in the following: 100 yards — Pinckard (second). 440 yards — Gillespie (first). 220 yards — Pinckard (third). 880 yards — Gillespie (first). Broad Jump — Pinckard (third). Medley Relay — (Third). High Jump — Gillespie (first); Clarke (third). Shot Put — Underbakke (first); Clarke (second). [Page Twenty-five]
