12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD Boys'g Mr. Charles Burns C21-'25J of Toronto is taking the place of Mr. A. A. H. Vernon, now on Active Service with the Air Force. The three new members of the Board have had distinguished careers in business and in law and the School considers itself fortunate to be able to have the benefit of their counsel and generous interest. GIFTS T0 THE SCHOOL C. E. Duggan C92-'98J brought one of the old cricket bats with him on June lst and very kindly gave it to the School. R. P. Jellett C92-'97J and Mrs. Draper have given some most interesting books to the Library for which We are deeply grateful. J. W. C. Langmuir C35-'4OJ has given a line challenge trophy with a replica of it to the boy in his second year who best fulfills the conditions of award. These are listed elsewhere. Mrs. Monro, Mrs. Hare and Mrs. Britton have given School blazers, suits, and football equipment, which have been put to exceedingly good use. Mrs. Percy Henderson brought three prize books to the School which were won by the late O. G. Darling C05- '10J. The Ladies' Guild have this year most generously given two valuable bursaries which are used to enable boys to attend the School. The School is particularly inbeted to Mrs. John Moss for giving the Library a copy of the beautifully prepared volume of Pat Moss's letters. For those who knew Pat, nothing is needed to keep their memory of him vivid and greeng it is, however, a real privilege to be able to read his letters and to know his thoughts, and for this we are most grateful. Pat was at the School from 1924-1931 and after a brilliant career here he went to Marlborough College in

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
