Archives on Display A glass case has been placed outside the entrance to the Hall, for the display of various interesting items from the School archives. The old notebooks, programmes of dramatic performances, exercises with remarks showing how little masters have changed in seventy years, and ancient photographs attract considerable attention.

It is planned to have in time a complete series, with a panel for every year from the School's foundation to the present time.

He spent three years at Queen's, and played on two football teams, and was intercollegiate boxing champion in 1937. He likes basketball and swim- ming, and hopes to coach a lacrosse team here this spring. I like the School very much, said Mr. Peck, and I expect the team to win a good share of their games. We all hope that his expectations will be realized ,and that his stay at this School will be a long and happy one. .1-T . . . . and to Mr. Page We are glad to welcome also Mr. Page, who has joined the staff of the Junior School.

After being introduced by the Chaplain, Father Loose- more described the founding of the Society by Benson Richard at Oxford, and his reasons for doing it. The monks lead a hard but happy life in the monastery. They do all their own work, even printing a weekly news- paper. They look after the poor that live near Brace- bridge, and often go on missionary tours. .
