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.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 11 CHANGES IN THE GOVERNING BODY At the annual meeting of the Governing Body on Oct. 16th, Mr. Clarence Bogert C78-'81J and Mr. A. A. Harcourt Vernon C09-'13J tendered their resignations. Mr. Bogert has been a member of the Governing Body for twenty years and during that time he has maintained a deep and thoughtful interest in all the affairs of the School. Often he has visited Port Hope, and nearly always one noticed him at School games in Toronto. Mr. Bogert now feels that he would like to be relieved of some of his responsi- bilities. His counsel and advice will be missed at meet- ings but we know We can count on his continued kindly interest in all School acairs. Mr. A. A. Harcourt Vernon has been an indefatigable worker for the School ever since he was Head Prefect in 1912-1913. It was he who built up the Old Boys' Associa- tion and with his father did the tremendous work neces- sary in order to compile the first Old Boys' Directory. After the fire he threw himself into the campaign for a new School and did invaluable Work. He has been a mem- ber of the Governing Body for some fifteen years and with- draws now as he is on Active Service with the Air Force. We shall hope that his absence from the Board will be a temporary and very short one. Mr. R. C. H. Cassels C89-'93l who has been such a tower of strength on the Governing Body for many years has withdrawn as a representative of the Old Boys' As- sociation, but has been elected to the place vacated by Mr. Bogert. The School extends its congratulations and a most sincere Welcome to Mr. Greville Hampson, Mr. Argue Mar- tin, K.C., and Mr. Charles Burns who have been elected members of the Governing Body. Mr. Hampson C94-'97l of Montreal and Mr. Argue Martin C14-'17J of Hamilton are taking the places of Mr. R. C. H. Cassels and Mr. N. H. Macaulay, respectively, as representatives of the Old
