SCHOOL PREFECTS w ■ m ; — - .. .— . Back Row: C. T. Battle, H. F. Mowat. Sitting: P. A. Nash, C. D. Brooks, the Headmaster, J. A. Kaye, H. D. Read. ti ti ti Speech edJay — Aune, 1955 We were blessed with fine weather for the Annual Speech Day and Prize Distribution on June 24th. We were pleased to welcome once again to the school The Honourable Mr. Justice H. I. Bird, who gave the address and distributed the prizes. Judge Bird reviewed for us some of the traditions of the school, and referred to personalities and incidents in its life twenty and more years ago when he visited it more often as a parent of John D. Bird (1929-34). In addition to congratulating the prizewinners on their success, the speaker gave a word of encouragement to the lesser lights who, while not having earned special recognition, had contributed their part to the successful record of the year which was referred to by the Headmaster in his opening remarks. On the platform with Mr. Justice Bird and the Headmaster were Mr. J. Y. Copeman, Chairman of the Board of Governors, Captain J. D. Groves and Mr. H. E. W. Paterson, Governors, and His Grace Archbishop H. E. Sexton, D.D. After tea had been served in the dining-room, the school and its many visitors and parents removed to Chapel for the final leaving service where the Archbishop gave his address. It was unfortunate that travel arrangements made it impossible for all parents to remain for this service which, through the years, has come to be looked upon as a fitting and impressive climax to the school year.

cJLieutenant-Ljovernor lAnuelis J- la ue At 10:45, Sunday, the 26th of March, His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia and Mrs. Wallace arrived at the school. Met by the Headmaster and Mrs. Kaye, he took the royal salute, inspected the Guard and the band and commented on their fine turnout. Shortly afterwards, the visiting party arrived in the chapel, where the school and many visitors were assembled for the Dedication Service. After the Lieutenant-Governor had unveiled the plaque, it was dedicated by the Very Reverend P. R. Beattie, Dean of British Columbia, who later delivered an excellent sermon on why we honour those who have laid down their lives in defense of their country. The service over, His Honour met relatives of some of the boys whose names appear on the plaque. His Honour and Mrs. Wallace and many visitors then had lunch in the main dining-room with the boys. Altogether it was a memorable few hours which we shall not forget. Page Six

Mercer IN- EFFICIENCY CUP Our heartiest congratulations are extended to Derek Brooks who, in June, won the coveted Efficiency Cup for the sixth time, a record unparalleled in the school ' s history. This cup, the most cherished in the school, is won by the vote of the staff, who take into consideration a number of factors which include qualities of leadership, sense of responsi- bility, and popularity. Previously the cup had been won four times by both R. J. Mellin (1919-21) and J. H. R. Larson (1927-29). Two had won it three times:— A. B. Ripley (1926-27) and E. R. Larsen (1942-43). That Brooks has had his name inscribed on it six times is a notable accomplishment and a record which successors will find hard to equal. Page Eight
