Brentwood College Magazine SPORTS DAY The annual Inter-House Field Sports, held Saturday afternoon, May 8th, were featured by some outstanding running by Bill Pinckard, who set new school records in both the 100 yards and the 220 yards; time for the former being 10 seconds and for the latter 23 seconds. Also, the Lower House relay team lowered the existing record by 1 and 3 5 seconds, running the course in 1 minute and 12 2 5 seconds. Other fine performances among the Seniors were turned in by Calhoun and McClean, while Dick Lewis was the undisputed star of the Intermediates. The various events which were keenly followed by a gathering of parents and friends of the school resulted in several excellent contests and the results compare very favorably with the best years in the school ' s twenty year history. Beside winning the three individual cups for the fourth consecutive year, the Lower House gained a margin of 28 points to win the meet.

Brentwood College Magazine BRENTWOOD COLLEGE (5,2) vs. R.A.F. (95 for 3 wickets) (June 10, at Brentwood) In the return match against the R.A.F., Brentwood again met a superior side and was outclassed. May played steadily and Lammers hit well at the end of the school innings. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE (83) vs. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL (38) (June 12, at Brentwood) In this return match Brentwood batting was much steadier. McClean played well for 22 and was well supported by Pitts (15), May (12) and Wells (11). Pitts also contributed largely towards the success of his team by taking 4 wickets for 7 runs. LOWER HOUSE (96) vs. UPPER HOUSE (52) The Inter-House match was played on June 8th. The issue of the match turned on the bowling, McClean and Lammers proving a stronger combination than Pitts and Oxenbury. McClean played a good innings for the Lower House (59), which won by 44 runs. i i i SEA CADET CORPS Having operated an Army Cadet Corps for two years with very little outside assistance, we decided, for a number of reasons to transfer our affections to the Senior Service. Accordingly in September we joined the Navy and since then, like good sailors, we have never looked back. H.M.C.S. Naden were indefatigable in their efforts to make the Corps a success and our performance at the inspection, carried out by Commander Kingscote on Speech Day, proved that their efforts had not been in vain. We were a new corps and were, as a result, short of much of the equipment which we would have liked but the wheels of the Navy grind slowly and this equipment will be forthcoming. We have already been promised a service whaler for this coming year. Twenty-one Cadets attended the first Sea Cadet camp to be held under the aegis (to borrow Commander Kingscote ' s favourite word) and on the whole it was a success. We camped in company with 162 Rainbow Sea Cadets on Comox Spit and more than held our own in smartness and efficiency. In the field of sport it is remarkable that in the Inter-Divisional track meet the Brentwood Cadets placed in all events and won several. Had the meet been on a Brentwood vs. Rainbow basis we should have won the meet with the greatest of ease. Yes, the camp was a success, we felt we might have learnt more in the time we spent there but the camp was an experiment and we may justly feel that we did our share in making it a success.
