OtJ p ' Wot. Due to the dislocation brought about by the change in headmastership, it has been difficult to collect news of old boys ' activities during the year. It is hoped that as many Old Boys as possible will keep in touch with the School and furnish information respecting them- selves and their activities. The following information has come to hand: 2nd Lieut. Edwin T. Naden, Jr., of Seattle was placed in the top ten of his graduating class of more then two hundred at the Officers Candidate School, Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. Capt. R. H. McCleary of Carmel, California, was decorated with a Bronze Star medal for services in Korea where he is a member of the Tenth Corps. Lieut.-Cdr. R. Hayward of Duncan, who served aboard the ill-fated destroyer Atha- baskan in the Second World War, has been appointed executive officer of her present namesake. Tor Torland is a member cf the Foreign Service of the United States of America now attached to the American Embassy at Oslo, Norway. His brother John is stationed with a jet sguadron in Germany, and another brother. Erik, is in Seattle. The annual Old Boys ' Dinner was held in Vancouver on October 27th when twenty- five were in attendance. Mr. Duxbury and Mr. Hyde-Lay represented the school. The Old Boys ' week-end in November brought a number of visitors to the school for the customary events — Rag Concert, Memorial Day Service and the Rugger Match. A number of Old Boys visited the school during the summer term, at half-term, for Speech Day, and at various other times. Some of these were: G. L. Anderson, Budge Bell- Irving, Gordcn Parke, Irwin Davis, Hugh Fraser, Derek Johnston, Bill Roaf, Tom Piddington, Fob Douglas, John Pearkes, Grant Butt, Arch. Patrick, Jim Flynn, L. F. Bevington, G. F. Dyson, Bruce Olsen, Bruce Robertson, Fraser Mcintosh and Duncan Maclnnes. There was a representative attendance of old boys at Mr. Lonsdale ' s funeral service at Parksville on August 7th, and also at the Memorial Service in the school chapel on September 14th. The first Sunday of each school year (usually the second Sunday in September) has been chosen as Founder ' s Memorial Sunday, and it is hoped that old boys as well as the boys of the school will set aside this day each year as one dedicated to the honour of + he founder of the school.
