THE BRENTONIAN Mrs. Lewis, for the presentation to the school of a handsome cup for the 120 yards hurdles. This is to be competed for annually at the school sports, and is to be known as the Dick Lewis Challenge Cup. It will always bring us very pleasant memories of Loo whose record in this race will be hard to beat. Mr. Garner for harying the transgressors into making such an excellent job of the garden — and to Bill for keeping up the good work in the holidays. Mr. Davis and the kitchen staff for providing such excellent meals in spite of rationing, and for producing coffee and cakes for us at our Christmas concert, even in wartime. Jack Watson who unselfishly volunteered for the unpleasant and ex- tremely boring job of turning the fan which made the firelight flicker in Shivering Shocks, one of the plays in the Christmas concert.
