guitar craze endured and in due time quite a few boys became quite proficient. Then there was the time when the Housemaster returned from town to discover a female department store plaster model esconsced snugly in his bed and wearing a somewhat coy expression. We had somewhat of a shock when Phil Ross was deluged with scientific information from the Soviet embassy regarding space items and Phil rapidly became the authority on the subject. It also became dangerous to walk about without keeping a wary eye out for the same gentleman on the prowl with his candid camera. On weekends, again this year, the T.V. room was immensely popular, and it was interesting to note that Popeye the Sailor is still with us and going strong indeed. I may add that the cultural taste of the House still leans to Bonanza. On the whole, our new Grade Eights proved a most cheery lot and life was enjoyed to the full. Whenever the lights went out or the T.V. set was snowed up I knew that David Gilmore was fiddling with his electronics devices again. It was quite surprising to hear his voice come out of the T.V. set one night when he was using a walkie-talkie with his room-mate down by the dock. There were the dorms . . . ah, the dorms. Messrs.

A number of dormitories went on a painting jag in the fall term and the prize went to dorm twelve who ended up with royal blue and an arsenical green, a somewhat dazzling combination, to put it mildly. I have to thank Roger Fuller and the other Prefects for their co-operation and support during the year. Much of the happiness of a House of smaller boys depends on the prefects, and their reign did a great deal in contributing to the esprit de corps of Hope House this year. D. Pope 26

RUGBY The 1965-66 rugby season has undoubtedly been the best at Brentwood since its opening some five years ago. The playing record is a very impressive one, but probably more significant is the manner in which rugby has been attacked throughout the school. The credit for this, must fall fairly on your shoulders, for it has been your efforts and enthusiasm that have made the year a successful one — for both players and loyal supporters a very special thank you from the staff. It has been particularly encouraging to see the improvement in the lower school, for these are the players that will serve us well in the coming seasons. Working up the school, a special word to the 4th XV who get very little glory, but nevertheless persevere week after week — your efforts do not go unnoticed. The 3rd have also 28
