An unusual Old Boys ' reunion took place a few weeks age, by telephone line slung between warships. The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants held their annual convention recently in Victoria and one of the highlights of the week was an afternoon cruise in Ontario and Sioux, generously provided by the R.C.N, with the co-operation of the officers and men of the two ships. When, as an exercise for the visitors to see, u Costain line was fired from Ontario to Sioux and a telephone wire passed across, Derek Johnston (1926-28), a C.A. guest of Ontario, asked and obtained permission to speak to his old schoolfellow Commander Phil Haddon (1919-27), Captain of Sioux. Other C.A. Old Boys on the cruise included F. Dillon, M. Williams (1921-23), C. E. R. Bazett -(1324-30) and D. F. H. Corbett (1931-35). Phil Haddon commanded Sioux at the Coronation rieview at Spithead in the summer; he is expected to leave her shortly and take up an appointment at Naval Service H.Q. in Ottawa. Before leaving the Navy, it might not be inappropriate to mention two former masters of the School: Captain A. P. Musgrave, who has recently retired and is rumoured to be coming out to live on the West Coast, and Captain Martin H. Ellis who is Director of Naval Training in Ottawa.

The Vancouver parents were instrumental in providing most generously all the lumber, hardware and other materials required for the erection of a new diving tower and float. Many parents from Seattle and the surrounding area who have visited the School during the year have come laden with supplies of lumber for the Hobby Shop and additions to the School Library. This continued interest and tangible assistance is very much appreciated. Mr. D. W. Maclnnes of 4785 Chancellor Boulevard continues as Chairman of the Vancouver Parents Guild and Mr. W. B. Woolf is the Chairman of the Parents ' Association of Washington. Page Twenty-Two
