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.

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.

Since the reorganization of the School the Gld Boys have rallied to our assistance in a really splendid way, so that no school report would be complete without an acknowledgement of the work they have accomplished. In larger centres there are Regional Associaf tions. The parent body in Victoria has done an enormous amount of work on behalf of the school. They donated four cups on Sports Day, provided judges on many occasions, put up a Rugby Team, a Basket Ball Team, and ran the Incogs Cricket Club. We have in Victoria a group of Old Boys in whose minds the School is a very real thing. The real reason for going to school is to gain power and to learn how to use it. In this sense the schools are powerfhouses of physif cal, mental and spiritual power. The effectiveness of our country depends on the use that is made of these powerfhouses. Be known not only as good as your word, but a little better. I will now call on the Hon. Gordon Sloan, himself an Old Boy, the parent of a present boy, a Governor of the School, Attorney General for British Columbia, to address you. The list of Prize Wiiiriers was as follows : Vlth.
