Pentland PROVINCIAL EXAMINATIONS While the results in the Departmental Examinations were not quite as good as last year, they were sufficiently high to indicate a sound standard in the School and were, therefore, very encouraging. Again the great majority of the boys passed all their courses, and also a good percentage received very high marks. In fact, the following boys achieved overall averages over 75 per cent and will be receiving Government Bursaries: P. Brierley and C. Pentland in Grade 13, and J. Woodsworth, J. Macdonell, B. Cooper, P. Boyd, G. Foster, D. Phillips, D. Arndt, W. Gooderham, G. Hunger- ford, C. Russ and C. Ross in Grade 12. Whether the examinations for Grade 13 are easier than those for first year university is debatable; in any event, the course content is the same. With this in mind, it may be interesting for parents of boys coming up in the School to realize that the results for our Grade 13 boys were far better than were the results of their contemporaries who left in Grade 12 and did their Grade 13 at U.B.C. or at Victoria College. u
