Brentwood College Magazine SHOOTING Regardless of the change over of equipment the shooting this year was quite good. As the annual Dominion Marksmen Team Championship was not held, we were unable to defend the Provincial title won in the previous season. However, a team was entered in the C.S.B.A. Team Championship of Canada match. The scores made in the competition were good, if below the previous standard. The Nairn-Holmes cup for the best all-round shot was retained by McClean who kept on top with the highest average. The Inter-House shooting was closely contested, with the Upper House winning a slight margin. Results were as follows: Upper House V. G. Holland 188 J. W. Pitts 184 I. A. May 183 W. Newton 171 Total 726 Lower House J. A. McClean 181 A. W. Calhoun 181 C. E. Jukes 172 A.E.Levy 172 Total 721 i i i ROWING This year more than half the school took rowing as one of their weekly sports, revealing increased enthusiasm for sculling. For the first time in four years, both fours were put into the water. The 1st Crew was composed of Schinbein (stroke), Oxenbury (1), Pinckard (2), and Holland 1 (bow). Jukes captured the 2nd Crew made up of himself, Pitts, Graham and Lewis. The combined efforts of Holland 1 and Levy produced a new roof for the boat house. Our thanks to Logan Mayhew for generously supplying the materials for this. The Senior Sculling was won by Schinbein after a very close race with Holland 1. The Junior race was won by Ley. The Upper House won the Inter-House rowing race. i i i SWIMMING For the first time for many years we sent a team in for the Inter-Schools swimming gala at the Crystal Gardens on April 22nd. P. McCulloch placed in the intermediate event and F. Oxenbury, after a very fast heat, won the Senior boys ' event, covering the 50 yards in the exceptionally good time of 24 4 5 seconds.

Brentwood College Magazine TRACK There has been a very marked increase in interest in this field of sport, with the natural result of a much improved standard of performance throughout the school. Once again we sent in a team to compete in the Inter-Schools Track and Field meet, held in Victoria on June 7th. Pinckard did the 100 yards in 10 seconds to set a record for the meet. Seven schools competed and in the final score we lost to the Naval College (Junior term) by half a point. The following Thursday we competed in an invitation track meet at the Naval College, on their grounds at Hatley Park; University School also com- peting. In spite of our being without Pinckard we won the meet with a margin of seven points over the College (Junior term) . The individual results of both meets were as follows: INTER-HIGH SCHOOL MEET Pinckard placed 1st in both the 100 yards and the 220 yards events. Calhoun was second in the Broad Jump; Oxenbury was 2nd in the Shot Put, while Birch-Jones placed 3rd in the 440 yards. The relay team, comprising Pinckard, McClean, Calhoun and Birch-Jones, placed first. Time: 1 :42 2 5. NAVAL COLLEGE INVITATION MEET Calhoun placed 1st in the Broad Jump and 2nd in the 100 yards and the 220 yards. Birch-Jones placed 1st in the 440 yards and 3rd in the 100 yards. Oxenbury placed 2nd in the shot put and 3rd in the 880. Newton was 2nd in the High Jump, while McClean placed 3rd in the 220 yards. The relay team, comprising Calhoun, Jukes, Lewis and McClean, placed first, with the Naval College second. i i i TENNIS We were fortunate in securing some tennis balls soon after Christmas and so were able to make good use of the new tennis court. The supply, however, did not permit of any matches other than the school competitions. The school singles was won by P. McRae and the doubles by J. A. McClean and P. McRae. Considerable keenness was shown throughout the school and there are some promising younger players coming on for future years. [Page Nineteen ]

Brentwood College Magazine SAILING This year as in past years, sailing has lived up to its reputation of being a very popular summer sport, this year more than ever amongst the Junior School. During the Lent term the frostbites were scraped and painted, and owing to the efforts of the Captain of Sailing, ably assisted by Holland 1 1 and other enter- prising sailors, the three boats were in good condition at the beginning of the summer term. By the kind permission of Mr. Ellis, the Whim was relaunched and added to the fleet. It was used a great deal and gave a lot of enjoyment to the senior sailing captains. Towards the end of the term, a team represented the school against the Naval College, and took second, third and fourth places in a six boat race. The skippers were Kenning, Jukes and Byrne. The school sailing cup was keenly contested and was won by C. E. Jukes, who had C. S. Neame as his crew. i i i EDUCATION A work of outstanding importance to educationalists has recently been published. It crystalizes in some 3,000 pages the results of a life time of research by the internationally known professor and scientist of Vienna, Herr Wohluminus Schenswiirdigkeit. (Published by Donner und Blitzen, Vienna and Leipsig: American agents Knopt and Co., New York. All rights on land, sea and in the air reserved) . Briefly, the theme of the learned professor, as derived by this interviewer from a close study of the first 3 pages, is as follows: IT IS of fundamental importance, says the author, in imparting knowledge to the young, to correlate the instruction given with the practical and the every-day-event-happening. Thus, while the juvenile intelligence might balk at the sum of (1) 3 and 2, he immediately grasps the eternal verities of the higher mathematics when presented with the problem of 3 pencils and 2 pencils. The Professor does not deal with the problem presented by the sum of 3 pencils and 2 pens, not at least within the scope of the pages studied by this reviewer. But let us take some examples to illustrate the depth and subtlety of our author ' s mind : HYDROGEN Hydrogen, hereinafter referred to as H is a gas. Most boys, not to mention girls, are full of it and the infection has been known to spread to some school- masters. Gas is an important constituent in the operation of internal com- bustion engines if you can get it, but not this kind of gas. Engine gas you put in a tank and is a compound of H. In this form it has violent reactions as the housewife discovers when she uses it to light the stove. Other compounds — [Page Twenty-One]
