10 TRINITY COLLEGE SC'HOOL RECORD On Sunday, Sept. 29th, a second New Boys' picnic Was held at the same place as that of the week before. Once again a mighty spread greeted the boys when lunch-time came around. After lunch, a pick-up Brent-Bethune base- ball game became the order of the day .... The score may be overlooked, the writer being a Bethune. Orchestral Music Mr. Frank Blachford, the Senior member of the violin faculty of the Toronto Conservatory of Music is visiting the School once a week to give violin lessons and lessons on other stringed instruments. He is also organizing an orchestra. At present we have four violins, a double bass, a tirnpani, a clarinet, and pianos. More instruments are badly needed. If anyone could give or lend a flute or other instruments they would be most gratefully received. Captain C. C. Dixon's Lecture Captain C. C. Dixon related to the School some of his interesting and adventurous experiences, on Saturday even- ing, Sept. 29th. He illustrated his lecture with lantern slides, which included pictures of a number of different types of sailing ships, and all were extremely interesting. He afterwards kindly answered any questions, and re- lated still further incidents. This is the second time Captain Dixon has visited the School, as he previously talked here in 1936.
