THE BRENTONIAN SCHOOL MOTE ON MARCH 1ST, General Hertzberg, former commandant of Royal Military College, Kingston, came out to the School to address the boys. He warned us against taking Safety First as our motto, for if we did, we would never get anywhere ' in this world. During his talk, General Hertzberg gave us news of some of the more recent Brentwood Old Boys to pass through R.M.C. — Desmond Holmes, John Martin and Harry Rogers — and he was full of praise for all of them. Near the end of the Summer Term, the school was honored by the all- day visit of Canon Michael Coleman, of Victoria, late of London, England. During the afternoon he played cricket with some of the senior boys, and after supper, in place of the regular prep period, conducted a kind of Religious Forum in which all boys were allowed to and did ask any ques- tions on religion that they wished and Coleman answered them as best he could. We all spent a very enjoyable evening and benefitted much more from the talk than we probably would have done from prep. During the year, many Old Boys visited the school and three of them, one from each service, were persuaded to tell us a little of their experiences. On February 22nd., Lieut. Danny Elmpre told of his experiences in the United States Navy from the time that he joined up, through Pearl Harbour, where for many days everyone believed him to be dead, to the landings on Saipan and in the Philippines, in which he took an active part. At the beginning of June, Lieut. John Nation visited the school and told us what he had been doing since the war began, in the Canadian Army. He spoke much of his experiences in Great Britain and in France and Belgium after the invasion had taken place. [Page Nine]
