TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 15 If any of you cared to make this trip again you would iind things pretty much as you used to: the old red brick house with the white porch is unchanged, the old gate still squeaks on it's hinges, the high seat is still standing under the window of the tuckroom g the old candy case is still in its original position. The Misses Philp invited me into their sitting room, Where they still spend their time talking of their memories and of the boys. During the afternoon they spoke of such illustrious Trinity men as Boydy Symonds and Bell Irving, both of whom were killed in the Great War, to mention only a few. Their memories contain the antics of such respectable characters as Pi Broughall, Allan Campbell, Whose art I saw demonstrated on walls, tables and other places, Scavenger MacKendrick, another of those who were killed, and they still talk of the time when Piggy Francis Went over the fence on his bicycle. We Wonder if you remember when you wrote this ?- Ken Langmuir, Ken Tatlow, Bobo Claxton, Alan Woodman. Enjoying the tuck after two days in Toronto. April 22nd., 1917. Or would one of the Campbell brothers remember this one?- Came to the tuck three days ago and was greatly charmed with the quality of the goods thereof . During my short visit I was lucky enough to be given a large piece of maple layer cake, and now I know why you all rave about the old Tuck Shop. Digging into drawers and boxes, the Misses Philp showed me a fork with Berry's'l engraved on it, given to their mother by Harry Berry, from one of his father's restaurants in Chicago. As I rummaged through old autograph books I found names by the hundred, and not one failed to bring up some memory or tale to the old ladies' minds. I came across

Davison, Tor- onto, J. Hough, Winnipegg K. Langmuir, Toronto: K. Tatlow, Vic- toria: A. Woodman, Winnipeg, W. Hicks, Winnipeg. Westerners prevail in number but not in class. Yes, the old tuck is the same as ever, but imfortunately the Misses Philp have given up making their famous pumpkin pies, and their wonderful duck dinners. The three little old ladies live alone in the big house, but there's not one they've forgotten. -E.H.C.L. PLACE I LOVE THE BEST Down by the sea, down by the sea, Where the billows rise and fall, Where the big rocks stand, Where the little ships sail, Where the mighty breezes brave the gale, That's where I love to be. And sometimes when I lie in my bed, The fire-light shadows round my head, I think of the things that have happened at sea, And I long to be down by the sea. From Kingshead to Lulworth, From Lulworth to Pool, Range the white cliffs of Dorset, So proud and so coolg But of all the places I love to be ..... Gee it's swell eating mince pies down at Hec's. -J .S.H.
