,MMS ,.,..M ,,,41-fa,, -- .- ' E. E. TEAGLE Kev' Cup Winner 1936 Ker Cup 1935 The highest award in School and given on the vote of the Masters of the highest degree of Excellence in Scholarship, Character, Leader' ship and Athletics. Teagle came to the School in September, 1932, and has thrown himself whole heartedly into all activities and has exerted an excellent influence on all with whom he came in contact. For the last two years he has been a prefect and has contributed much to the rebuild- ing of the old School spirit. All agree that the award was never more thoroughly merited We hope it will be possible to have him with us next year.

Incipit liber scribae Jacobi Superopedis, viri eruditissimi: 1. And in my vision I did progress into a land of aspect dark and drear, most like unto the land itself. 2. Whereiii was no habitation, nor any habitant thereof 3 3. But the land was desolate, even unto the uttermost confines. 4. And there I met, or meseemeth I met, a guide of aspect dark and drear, most like unto the land itself. ff. And he spake a word unto me, saying, 6. 'Beholdl I am he who openeth the secrets of the earth, and the bowels of the earth, even unto the most unworthy of scribesl' 7. And I trembled, for I was sore afraid. 8. And a chasm opened in the earth, and through it were we precipi- tated, I and my guide -also, 9. And we journeyed through the land which was in the bowels of the earth until we came to the first place of tribulation, wherein I saw all such as were of little Latinity, and behold! my own face was there, even amongst the foremost. 10. And I wept, for I was sore afraid. 11. And we journeyed thereafter to the second place of tribulation, wherein were all such as sniffed and wore carpetfslippers, and therein I was not, but another was, who avowed himself to be no beautyfspot, therefore I should no longer feast my eyes upon his countenance. 12. And great was the fall thereof. 13. Thereafter, rejoicing, we Lvent upon our way, and lo! we came upon yet a third place of woe and lamentation wherein were all such as wrote the names of the children of the faithful in deten- tion books. 14. And their name was legion. 15. And these were condemned to pump from wells to all eternity water, wherewith they were constrained to fill jugs whereof the sides were cracked, 16. And ever as they poured the water in, so it poured out, even unto the eternity of eternities. 17. And my bowels yearned unto them, and I pitied them, for indeed their torment was unceasing, and did from age to age endure. 18. And to yet another place of tribulation did we go, wherein was one who did roar and wail, crying unto those who tormented him, 'Are YOU arguing with ME!' And the ten thousand thundering tin devils did roar and cry, shrieking, 'We arel' 19. Then spake my guide unto me, and oped his lips, saying, 'Go then ' and do not likewise' 20. And in bitter grief and wailing did I go, and on the morrow I awoke in fear and trembling, for, Qas I think I have said several times already,j I was sore afraid. Explicit liber scribae Jacobi Superopedis, viri eruditissimi ac verisf simi.

a Athletic Sports Owing to the fact that the death of the late King George had rob' bed June 3rd. of its time honoured meaning, and to the fact that King Edward's birthday comes so late in the term, the Sports this year were held on June 6th, A prescience, uncanny to those who do not know him well, seems to have guided the Headmaster in his choice of a dayg for this was almost the only day in the rainfwashed month of june that was not only not marred by torrents of rain, but was a real June day in Victoria at its best. A goodly company, over four hunf dred in number, gathered to mark the occasion. The sun shone.the warmth was tempered by a gentle breeze and the field was looking its best, and what that best can be, those of us who know and love the School, well realize. The races were well contested and the boys all gave of their best, all the races being remarkable for the way in which even those who had no chance of winning fought it out to the bitter end. No records were broken, but the Old Boys Relay Team equalled the record set by the School in 1933, and it is a noteworthy fact that Paul Rowe was a member of the Qld Boys Team, just as he had been a member of the recordfmaking School team. A typical University School tea was served in the Gymnasium and typically enjoyed. After the races Mr. Scarrett, the Headmaster, welcomed the guests and thanked them for their support and presence. Mr. Winslow, Chairman of the Governors, said a few words of encourf agement and ventured to prophesv the continued growth of the School under Mr. Scarrett's skillful guidance. The Rev. Willard Brewing, M. A., D. D., of St. Andrew's Wesley Church, Vancouver, then dis- tributed the prizes, making, as he did so, a most felicitous speech, in which he mingled most delightfully the lighter side of experience with the more serious and weighty thoughts that are appropriate to such an occasion. His speech will long be remembered by those who had the honour of hearing him, especially his plea to the boys that. as their forefathers had won the battle of Waterloo on the playing fields of Eton, so they should strive to win the wars of Peace by learning on the playing fields of Canada the lessons of sportsmanship and honour RESULTS WERE AS FOLLGWS: 220 Cpen.
