Brentwood College Magazine Our thanks are extended to: Major Alan McClean for presenting the McClean Cup for Inter-House Track Competition. Mrs. Privett for her devotion to the needs of the chapel. The floral arrangements form a necessary part of our service of worship. Mr. Gerard for his artistic preparation of a suitable Roll of Honour of Old Boys serving in the Forces, which has been placed in the Chapel. 1 i i CHAPEL NOTES The following candidates were presented by Rev. Warren N. Turner when the Rt. Rev. the Lord Bishop of Columbia visited the school on Palm Sunday, April 1 8th : C. E. Jukes, R. G. Lammers, J. F. Oxenbury, R. G. Lewis, G. W. Wood. In the absence of a resident chaplain, the Sunday services were conducted by the Rev. W. N. Turner of St. Stephen ' s Church, Saanich, and the Headmaster. Other visitors to the chapel were the Bishop, Padre Lusk of the R.A.F., Rev. Michael Coleman, Rev. J. A. Roberts, and Major Hamilton, Army Chaplain. i i i Is the light of our Earth reflected in some distant Martian Lake — The light of our Earth midst a miriad stars and the pattern that they make? Can the cares of our world and sorrows, our love, our hate and our pain, Become but a tiny point of light in a pool which the driving rain In a world a million miles away has left on some arid plain? Does some weary, heart-sick warrior glimpse, in a woodland stream On a distant star, our war-torn Earth as a faintly flickering gleam? And does some storm-tossed sailor, with terror in his eyes, His ship into haven and safety guide by the light of our Earth in his skies? Oh hope of the world and fear of the world reduced to a spark of light Concealed and revealed in an alien sky by the clouds of an alien night! [Page Nine]

Brentwood College Magazine Capt. Haybrooke, who graphically described the work of the Auxiliary fire-fighters during the London blitz. Lt. -Commander G. Davidson, R.C.N. , who gave a good account of a brush with the enemy in the North Atlantic. Officers of the R.A.F., who gave a talk on ' plane spotting. i i i In the Lent term a series of Rag Concerts were arranged for Saturday evenings. Besides helping to while away the idle hours, much latent talent was discovered and subsequently used in later events. The last concert was on the occasion of the annual visit of St. George ' s School. Mr. Harker, with Mr. Lodge, contributed a topical lyric which was well received. i i i The unprecedented interest on the Tennis Courts in January and February was not so much due to an abundance of sunshine and accompanying warm weather, but rather to the lack of both. The temperature had fallen so low as to leave everyone utterly depressed until one bright mind conceived the idea of converting the Tennis Court into a Skating Rink. The project found instant favour with all and filled a great need. i i i News has just reached us of the safe arrival in England of J. D. V. Phelps. i i i It is our pleasure to extend congratulations to the following: Rev ' d J. A. Roberts on his recent marriage to Miss Florence Kenmuir. P. G. May and A. R. Macdonald on their graduation from the R.C.N. C. P. M. Birch-Jones on successfully passing into the R.C.N.C. T. A. Hiam on being accepted into Harvard University. Sub-Lieut. A. W. Gillespie on his outstanding success with the R.C.N.C. 1st XV. A. E. Gillespie on obtaining a Faculty Scholarship in Science after com- pleting his first year at McGill. All the Old Boys who, having completed their respective periods of training, have been awarded commissions in the services. [Page Eight]

Brentwood College Magazine WE STARTED off the season with a much lighter and less experienced team than in previous years but the enthusiasm, sportsmanship and determination of each member was so high that these three elements made a true rugger side. Credit must also be given to the 2nd XV for their support on the sidelines and for their great help in practises. For the first time, the 2nd XV won their match against the University School. This match showed the spirit which our future teams will have. Colours were awarded to V. G. Holland, J. W. Pitts, C. E. Jukes, R. G. Lammers, W. Pinckard, F. Oxenbury. Rugby Characters J. E. SCHINBEIN (Captain), Forward: Was undoubtedly the mainstay of the forward line. He was always up on the ball in the thick of the action and never let up until the final whistle. Reliable in offense or defence. A good tackle. J. A. McCLEAN (Vice-Captain), Wing Three-Quarter : He always played and tackled hard and with great keenness. He made some very good kicks ahead and across, thus opening up the game. He kept the three ' s in their places. He covered a lot of ground by using his weight and speed. A. W. CALHOUN, Stand-off half: He always plays a hard game with much determination. Although not playing in his best position he did very well when once he had the ball. His handling has improved. He should use his speed to better advantage. His tackling was not up to the rest of his game. [Page Ten]
