GRADUATION DAY The Headmaster in his report gave a brief resume of the year ' s activities and noted with satisfaction the improving academic stan- dards of the school which had come about through the efforts of a very able teaching staff. He made reference to the extension of the physical facilities including the magnificent new residence in front of which the guests were seated and stated that these additions now made it possible to accommodate 200 boys, the established maxi- mum for Brentwood. His comments about extra-curricular activities were given a certain emphasis by the timely (or untimely) arrival of the Flying Club and various and sundry seagulls and dogs which added a note of excitement to the proceedings. He then introduced Professor John Peter who treated us to an inspiring address during which he told the graduates in the words of J. M. Barrie that, a glorious future lies ahead if you but look for it. The address was a magnificent composite of humour and serious message which the graduating class, and the rest of the school too, will remember for many a long day. Mrs. Peter presented the awards most graciously if occasionally with a touch of embarrass- ment because of the frequent visits of son Christopher to the prize table. Whittall House was formally opened by Mr. H. R. Whittall who presented a plaque commemorating the occasion to Mr. Rees, the Housemaster. In his remarks Mr. Whittall emphasized the continu- ing need for discipline and noted that it was this quality and the high academic standards which fostered his interests in Brentwood. The formal aspect of the afternoon being concluded the guests were invited to inspect the new house and to take refreshments afterwards in the school quadrangle. 5
