TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 9 Mr. Tottenham A very warm welcome is extended to Mr. Tottenham, a. new figure on the Junior School Staff. Mr. Tottenham attended Geneva College in Switzerland and graduated from Queen's University, Kingston. For two years he was French Interpreter with the Dominion Life Insurance Com- pany and last year accepted a temporary appointment as Instructor in French and English at R.M.C. We hope he will enjoy his new sphere in the J .S. Mr. Armstrong D. H. Armstrong has returned to the School this year as Assistant Physical Training Instructor. The additional enrolment has made Mr. Batt's duties more than one man could possibly encompass. The new Dominion Junior Gymnastic Champion will be of invaluable assistance to new boys and others aspiring to gymnastic distinction. We welcome him back as Mr. Armstrong. . Poliomyelitis Owing to the prevalence of poliomyelitis, the schools in Ontario were some three or four weeks late in opening this year. We were one of the first to open when we got the whole School together on the sixth of October. Boys who had been in any danger of contact with the disease were put under observation in quarantine for nearly two weeks. So far luck has been with us, as we hope it will con- tine to be with Dr. Vivian's wise precautions. Classes in Montreal During the latter part of September and the beginning of October, when School opening was postponed because of the poliomyelitis epidemic, the work of the McGill form was started in Montreal. A classroom was secured in the Y.M.C.A. building, and the boys concerned gathered there

8 TRINITY OOLJLEGE SCHOOL RECORD After leaving T.C.S. in 1900 he went into business and soon rose to be one of the leading officials of his firm, John Labatt and Co. He has always taken a most generous interest in the affairs of his city, and of his School, and we are proud to have him on our governing body. B. M. Osler was born in Toronto on June 10th., 1910, the eldest son of Britton Osler, K.C. He entered T.C.S. on September 14th., 1920 and left for R.M.C. in 1926. While he was at T.C.S., Brick won the admiration and respect of all for his honesty of purpose, good judgment, and con- sistent steadiness under all conditions. After a most suc- cessful career at R.M.C., he entered Osgoode Hall and is now a member of his father's firm, Osler, Hoskin and Har- court. Though still young, Brick is rapidly making an important place for himself, and we shall watch his career with much interest. The Staff Mrs. E. M. Davidson Mrs. Davidson has been added to the J. S. Staff as Lady Assistant. A double greeting is hers, as we have elsewhere offered our good wishes on her marriage, which has made her a very welcome new member of the T.C.S. community. Mr. Wilson We offer a very hearty welcome to Mr. Wilson, who has joined the Staff of the Senior School this term. Mr. Wilson is a product of King's College School at Windsor, Nova Scotia. From K.C.S. he went to Dart- mouth College, New Hampshire, graduating in 1934. Last year he was at McGill. In between spells at college, Mr. Wilson has had three years newspaper work in the Mari- times. He is keenly interested in dramatic work, and we hope to see his experience given scope in T.C.S. play pro- ductions.

10 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD for a short session each morning. Mr. Scott, Mr. Davidson, Dr. Glover, Mr. Humble and Mr. Dixon were there for vary- ing periods to take classes and offer 'tutorial advice. Much loss of time was thus avoided in the work of the matricula- tion course. 1i.i1 Strathcona Silver Medal W. Mood was presented at the beginning of term with the Strathcona Silver Medal, awarded for the highest score in the School in the annual course of musketry, 1936-37. We congratulate him on his fine shooting. Championship Shooting In a special shoot-off for the Dominion of Canada Junior Championship, T.C.S. obtained fourth place, putting in a score of 899 out of a possible 1000. Football Football practice is in full swing, but no matches have been played at the date of going to press. Reports of all games will appear in our next number. Gift of a Painting Miss Mabel Cartwright, of Toronto, has given the School a most attractive portrait which is now hanging in the Chapel. It was painted by Miss Sydney Tully, a Canadian, in Paris about the year 1890. Miss Tul1y's father was the architect of the old Trinity College, on Queen Street, W. She became a most gifted artist and had at least one picture in the Paris salon. She died about the year 1914. The work which has been given to the School is a most striking treatment of a' figure full of determination and strength of character. The subject is
