You have also the opportunity to become a good squash player, tennis-player, or gymnast. Use all these opportunities to learn how to play. When you are a harassed business man, you will be glad of the ability to play well, eternally grateful that you have learnt how to protect your sanity by indulging in athletics in the right spirit and with some ability. A man struggling at a job for which he is obvious- unsuited is a tragic spectacle. Earlier in his life he has probably missed an opportunity to join in various activities which would have brought to the fore his particular talents. Perhaps you have the makings of a great states- man. If you have, the training obtained by participating in school debates Will be invaluable. The qualities necessary to be a great journalist may be latent in you. Writing fwe had to inject thisl for the Record Will develop these qualities. You have an opportunity to gain a comprehensive grasp of world affairs by joining the International Re- lations Club. The Science Club will stimulate any interest in science which you may have. These activities are op- portunities Which you may be neglecting. The person who has a variety of interests is never bored. By taking advantage of all the opportunities oifer- ed you at school you will acquire a diversity of accomplish- ments and lay the foundation for a happier life. Not only will you benefit yourself but you will benefit the school. School teams will be better and the standard of scholarship will be higher. Taking advantage of opportunities is probably the truest manifestation of that indefinable some- thing known as school spirit. If you forget the rest of this lengthy preamble do not forget that important word- opportunity . This is one period in your life when it is knocking loudly and in- sistently. -P.J.G.

The number of times opportunity knocks is unimportant. The response of the person Within is important. Every-day there are countless older people who look around them and regret that they have not heeded the knocking of some opportunity when they were younger. Most children in remote regions would consider the lack of a proper teacher and school an adequate excuse for neglecting their educa- tion but not a young man named Lloyd George. The op- portunity offered by some old text-books and a helpful blacksmith Was all he needed to educate himself. If he had let the opportunity pass, he might have been an old and impoverished Welsh peasant to-day. You have more opportunities than young Lloyd George.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3 HAPEIF TES Sunday, September 18th: On the first Sunday of the term, the Chaplain preached. The text was taken from Galatians, V, 19 to 23. He stated that the present international crisis was the result of human selfishness and un-Christlike-ness . Such situations, not only in world affairs, but in our own lives, We can avoid by trying to become more like Christ Himself. Bishop Geddis of the Yukon was the preacher in Chapel on Sunday, September 25th. His text was Go ye therefore and teach all nations. He described the living conditions in Yukon and the im- provements made by Christian missionaries. He then told of how God reminds us through nature that He is always caring for us, Wherever We are. What better example of this is there than the Yukon, winter and summer? The Bishop concluded by asking us always to pray that missionaries throughout the world might do their work faithfully and zealously. ill Sunday, October 2nd. The Headmaster spoke in Chapel.
