To these I wish to extend my thanks for their help, assistance and support over the past year. As was the custom during the summer term the Prefects did not do House duties, and we again had the assistance of Grade XI students as House monitors. Bill Holmes, Jock McKinnon, Peter McFarland and Gerald Whittall rendered yeoman service. We had our characters as always, of whom Brent Roberts loomed large, and he ended the year most adept at cleaning the Housemaster ' s silver. The band, official and unofficial suc- cessfully wrecked the peace, quiet and harmony (?) of the cloistered calm of Hope House. Peter Chettleburgh ' s trombone and Bob Davis ' clarinet after some months eventually mastered the Battle Hymn of the Republic, after its ' having both plagued both them and the Housemaster for some five months. One of the highlights was the House outing to Victoria at the end of the spring term when all and sundry had a pleasant afternoon swimming, taking in a movie, and then finishing up with a Polynesian smorgaasbord at which Larry Sughroue managed to make six trips to the buffet, and later on in the evening had to have bismuth administered by the Housemaster. All in all, quite a good year, and to those who will be pro- gressing on to a senior house I say good luck, and to those who will be remaining I look forward to helping me next year with the new entries. -D.P. 29

HOPE HOUSE The beginning of the year saw considerable change in the physical appearance of Hope House with the first step in the renovation of the House being CARPETS. Much to the joy of Dorm 11 th y returned to find elegant wall-to-wall carpeting. During this summer the Common Room was done as were also all the rooms on the first floor, and with the coming of this fall term the Common Room will be gay with bright drapes and upholstery. At the beginning of the fall te rm Hope House commenced life with forty-eight members, but as a result of transfers and various reasons this decreased to forty-five. Of these, thirty- five were new boys, and this meant that the inevitable settling- in period was of rather longer duration than in previous years. The inevitable bouts of homesickness occurred, nut these were overcome, and before too long the Hopefuls settled down to school life. The House captain was Harry Maltby, and he was most ably assisted by the other Prefects, Bruce MacKinnon, Bill Winterton and Chris Elwick. After Christmas some changes resulted and Bruce Williams and Alan Wilson were transferred to the House. 28

BRENTWOOD COLLEGE RUGBY CLUB As the results through the School suggest, this was the most successful year we have experienced. The depth in the school which has been the ultimate aim was very much in evidence, with more games played and more boys involved in playing. Two teams in particular caught the eye: the Colts XV had an undefeated season as did the 1st XV who extended their unbeaten run against Canadian High Schools to 42 games. In 1965-66 the 2nd XV were undefeated-the 1st XV of 1966-67 were also undefeated and with the latter two successes they have helped complete a most impressive record for the Club in recent years. It has been most encouraging to all connected with the Club to see the enthusiasm of all students for the game, particularly the Juniors who, it is hoped will keep the name of the College in good standing. Our congratulations to all players at all levels and a special thank you to Mr. Finnegan for his fine work on the fields, and to Nick Stone and Tom deRoos for their devotion in maintaining the School rugby equipment.
