FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1951-1952 A very unusual group of weapons was given to the School by Mr. D. D. McGoun. Amongst them was an elephant 'prodder', a very curious small, en- graved and sharp instrument, which occasioned much comment. There was also a battle knife from India, as well as an African battle knife. More modern times were represented by an interesting and handsome loan from Jeremy McGreevy, of an artillery sword made in the time of VVilliam IV, C1765-18371. Richard Stewart lent a midshipman's dirk, with sheath, carried by Lieut- Commander A. XY. Stewart when he was a midshipman on H.M.S. Frobisher. This was of special interest to future sailors, as well as to others. VVinthrop Brainerd contributed a 22 mm shell of VVorld VVar II. A telescope, said to be of the late XVIII century, was lent by Philip Cumyn and was the occasion of a great deal of interest, as it was a telescope like this which Nelson might have used at Trafalgar. The name of the maker was engraved on it, and the words Day and Night . The 'Weapon' exhibition was followed by the opening in January of a display of the 'Stamps of France'. Contributions were made by F. Angus, VV. H. Hambly, M. Boundy. Peter Cumyn, B. Hesler, D. Terroux, R. Desmarais, W. Brainerd, P. J. Gillespie, M. Ferro and C. Coristine. German stamps were on view in March and many interesting ones were exhibited by F. Cardona, M. Ferro, P. Hope. S. Orre, C. Coristine and one by P. Dufiield. Max Ferro, Peter Terroux and Jay Monge have exhibited some very good models in plasticene illustrating life in countries from Egypt to South America. Ferro's 'Valley of the Nile' was quite outstanding. Peter Terroux's Egyptian house was a good illustration, as was also that of Jay Monge. Frederick F. Angus presented the Library with four very interesting Canadian stamps in early September. They consist of a five, seven, four and fif- teen cent commemorative stamp of 1851-1951. This was a first-day issue, and posted on the very day. This gift is much appreciated in the Library. The Lib- rary was also presented by Angus with a group of new books which have given a great deal of enjoyment. Mr. XYalter Molson donated a large number of useful books, as did Mrs. H. H. Parker, and Mr. and Mrs. D. D. McGoun. These were gratefully received, other donors included :-Mrs. Lionel Lindsay, Mr. D. A. Maclnnes, Peter Cumyn, Miss M. Molson, Stewart Arbuckle, Colin Dobell, Christopher Hyde, Mr. G. C. VVillis, Edward Colby, XY. H. Hambly, VV. Timmins, Donald Steven, Mrs. T.C. Brainerd, XY. G. Pedoe, Peter Darling, Peter Jackson, Mr. J. C. Bonar, John See- ly, Vllinthrop Brainerd, Mr. H. Mayer, Mrs. A. C. Ferrier, Mrs. H. K. McLean. Mrs. J. Ross H. Sims presented the Library with a collection of shells from Florida. These have given much pleasure, and will serve as the nucleus of a Shell exhibition of the future. The circulation of books in the Library from January, 1951 to April 1952, amounted to 2,6075 the books on scientific subjects claimed 333 of this number, Geography came next with 149, and History with 114, Biography 85, and 'Nature' subjects 131. The rest of the circulation was divided between fiction, 'Things to do' and 'Younger' books. 1 ZLL During the past year 400 books have been added to the Library. The number of volumes in the collection now is 2,830 Books of special interest in the new additions are the The Book of Popu- lar Science in 10 volumes, and two new volumes of the Oxford Junior Ency- clopedia and VK'ebster's Biographical Dictionary . The kind and appropriate loan of a 'Coronation' Prayer Book by Mrs. I. C. Steven, has been greatly appreciated and has occasioned much interest. It has been on exhibition for many weeks and the Order of the Coronation of our sovereigns has been studied. DAY. 1231
