OUBo flote Of boys who left in June, 1950, we have heard the following news: at the University of B.C. are Grant Butt, John Burr, John Pearkes and Alan Parke; at Victoria College, D. V. Allan; at the University of Washington, Michael Chadwick. David Waterman is now with the Canadian Bank of Commerce in Vernon; Peter Wright is studying all about aeroplanes at the De Havilland Works in England. The Annual Old Boys ' Dinner was held at the Georgia Hotel in Vancouver on Friday, October 27th. Travelling over from the School for the event were the Head Master, Mr. Duxbury, Tom Pearce and three School Prefects; Tuttle, Maclnnes and Riley. The Old Boys ' Weekend brought many visitors to the Shool for the Rag Concert, Memorial Service and Old Boys ' Rugger Match. In all there were some forty Old Boys present for all or part of the weekend. During the year more than eighty Old Boys paid visits to the School, many for the first time since leaving and some from far-distant points such as Bob Guthrie from Tierra del Fuego, Peter Matthews from England. It is with great pleasure that we hear from the Korean front that Bob McCleary — now a Captain — has been awarded a Bronze Star Medal; that John Torland has received the D.F.C. Also in Korea, John Powell with the Canadian Corps. Robin Hayward has recently been appointed First Lieutenant in H.M.C.S. Athabasca and we understand will soon be off to Korean waters. Bob Hyndman had a one-man Exhibition of his paintings in Ottawa for one week last April. Congratulations! We received information that John Billings, now at the California Institute of Tech- nology, was elected Rally Commissioner for the student body. Page 22

There were not many records broken but this does not mean that the events were below standard. On the contrary, there were many good performances and the fact that most of the runners are young moots well for the future. David Bellm led the record breakers. He set new records in the Intermediate High and Broad Jumps, his height in the High Jump being 5 ft., while he broad jumped 1 7 ft. 6 ins. Maclnnes I, after a good deal of practice in the Shot Putt, set a new record of 37 ft. 1 1 Vi ins. Gaffney threw the Cricket Ball 81 yds. 1 ft. for a new record. The only other record to fall by the wayside was the Senior Trail which was won by Obermarck I, his record being made possible by Coates who kept close on his tail all the way and ran very well indeed to come in a close second. Perhaps the highlight of the Events and certainly the best individual performance was the 880 run by Obermarck for his house in the 4x880 Relay. Receiving the baton 30 yards behind the race leader, Antles, who is no mean runner himself, he set off at a very fast pace. Antles, sensing that he was being gained upon, speeded up. However, Obermarck gradually decreased the distance between them until, coming into the final straight, he was right on Antles ' heels. He sprinted past Antles on the bend of all places and so surprised was Antles at having been passed there that he had no sprint left to answer Obermarck ' s final spurt. Groves ' won both sprint relays, thanks to the good sprinting of Edgett. Maclnnes II proved far too good in the under- 14 events, there being no one who could match stride with him at all. He won every event while Vandersluys and McAlpine shared the spotlight in the under-12 ' s, each winning or being placed in three events.
