On the evening of February 27th, a skating party was given by the Boys of the School. The Rink, thanks to the hard work of the decorating committee, looked very pretty. I ' he Port Hope band excelled itself, but even when it was not playing there was plenty of noise, especially when some kind person turned out the lights. At half-time, some of the committee again came into prominence, when they emerged from the temporary lup.ch counter bearing refresh- ments of various kinds. We are sorry to say that only about half the invitations sent out were accepted, but we ho{)e that on future occasions the attendance will be larger. However, we are glad to say, when the time came for the guests to depart, they refused to be turned out before being allowed to enjoy at least two more bands.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD. 9 School Botes- bc ipia ot the Season. tSn FebrilafV the 4th in the Gymnasiuin, a dramatic Club, organized by Broughall and Voght presented the play of the season in Vera, the Circus Girl. The (iymnasium was packed, many ladies from town gracing the performance by their presence. The play was a howling success ; the elaborate scenery, costumes and musical numbers took the audience by storm. The amusing antics of Toby and Lord Popinjay, and the pathos of the return of Nellie Wallingford, the abused wife, brought both tears and laughter. The best of the scenes — which were all good — was the opium den, decorated entirely in red. At the close, cries of Auth or brought Marks, the villain, back to life ; but as dead men tell no tales, he refused to make a speech. CASTE OF CIIARARTERS Simon Wallingford, owner of the Circus C. P.

TRINITY COLLECiE SCHOOL RECORD. prefects ' Dinner. Dn the evening of Thursday, February 13th, the Prefects ' held their annual dinner in the Matron ' s dining room, which vVas kindly lent for the occasion. This year it fell to the lot of C. P. Burgess to fill the re- quirements of five unusually hungry Prefects. Needless to say he did so with the greatest good taste and forethought. The table was daintliy arranged, and some greenery in the centre set off the elegant school china very well indeed. About 8 o ' clock the Prefects assembled in their study in evening dress, accompanied by two bo s who were to act as waiters. When everything was ready they ' Went quietly down to the scene of the festivities. The dinner abounded in hors d ' oeuvres, entrees, and side-dishes, and ended with coffee and mints. Towards the end of the proceedings everyone drank Burgess ' health, and singing followed interrfiiitrently for the rest of the meal. MENU.
