The Prefects elected to succeed Morres, Neel and Moore were Groves (Head), Halley, Crisp, Roaf i, Roaf ii, and Mus grave. Football Season, 1293-24 The opening of the season from the point of view of results was not quite so happy as it might have been. The team, however, soon settled down to play as a team, and though we did not altogether overcome our weakness in front of goal, the defense improved rapidly. For the second year running we won both the Wilson and Duncan Cups. Four matches were played against the Duncan Men ' s Team, in all of which we were very glad of the help of Mr. Davies at full-back. The growing interest in Soccer in the district is shown by the matches arranged with the Duncan and Cowichan schools. We hope this keenness may result in further games this season.

Our Football Team was good, and as an under sixteen team was unbeaten. Cricket is not as good as it should be, yet it was encouraging to note the great improvement through- out the school, helped perhaps, by the addition of two cement nets. The Michaelmas Term opened on September 11th, and Mr. Skrimshire has come in the place of Mr. Davies, who has gone to the States, where we hope he will make his fortune. We have never had a more healthy year, and can only record one boy in the sick-room during the entire year. We have much pleasure in telling any of our old boys, who do not already know, that two old masters, Mr. Towns- end and the Rev. C. K. Warren, have joined the ranks of the benedicts. They both have our very best wishes. While not considering it quite good form to pat our- selves on the back unduly, we feel that a modicum of gratitude should be expressed for the untiring efforts of our Clerk of the Works and his assistant. When the Special Service Squadron arrived, most of the School took the opportunity of going to Victoria and watch- ing the arrival of the fleet and then going over one or more of the ships. We have spent much time and all our spare cash on the new Footer field, and it really begins to look as if it might be in use next year. A lot of good work has been done on the golf course. Two most interesting lectures have been heard, one by the Dean of Columbia, on The Use and Misuse of the Eng- lish Language, and the other by Lt.-Col. Broome, whose delightful talk gave us an intimate knowledge of the entirely wonderful experience of the British Round the World Alight under Major MacLaren. His photographs and map were a source of very great interest. At the end of the Midsummer Term we said au tevoiv to seventeen boys, and in September welcomed twenty-five new boys, which number filled all our vacancies.

SCHOOL vs. COLLEGIATE (Final) Played at Shawnigan on March 15 th, resulting in a win for the School, 5-0. » For the first twenty minutes this was anybody ' s game; at last, however, the School forwards began to press, and two goals were scored in quick succession by Roaf ii and Groves.
