Brentwood College Magazine N OLD BOY of the school, returning recently after twelve years abroad, remarked: What pleases me most is that I find everything the same. In two years time Brentwood will come of age and although time has wrought many changes and there remains no single person here who was present at her birth, yet the remark of that Old Boy remains essentially true. More than six hundred boys have passed through the school, we have weathered a world-wide depression and are even now in the midst of the worst war that the world has ever known, yet, as in the grown man one can see the developed characteristics of the boy, so in the school one can see, despite the outward changes, the essential characteristics remaining the same — so that with con- viction we may say: This is the same place that we knew of old. The trees that we climbed have grown bigger, the desks that we carved have become more mutilated or have been replaced, new tennis courts have replaced the old, the Chapel we built has been made even more beautiful, but these are but the natural results of growth and passage of time — the spirit of service, which is the school, remains the same. This spirit of service, growing stronger as it grows older, we are proud to say, has been carried into the far corners of the world, into the three fighting services and into the homes and professions of the many boys who have passed through Brentwood in her nineteen years of existence as a school.
