16 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD the sixteen quarters, there must have been a warming of the heart to realize there was no squelching of the ani- mated spirit so much in need to-day. And to a worried headmaster, experienced in dealing with schoolboy defaulters, a hidden, joyful smile and prayerful thanks that the spirit of this youth kept alive long after he had made his last walk down the road lead- ing from the School on the hill. And in that cablegrazn the proud father did not make amends for any great crime. Being spirited and full of vigour and vitality-the sort of Vitality that made good old Speech's hair curl-can hardly be labelled a crime. Merely the rebellious spirit of high-strung youth. The same spirit that dashed through the Ridley line for yards. The same spirit that flipped the puck behind the goal- keeper at U.C.C., and the same spirit that broke the bowl- er's heart at St. Andrew's. All types of people make a World. And although perhaps Dal Russel was no Rhodes Scholar, he has al- ready made a mark in this topsy turvy World that will be remembered equally as long as the names of the Chan- cel1or's Prize Men remain engraved in the oak panels of the old dining hall. For it was Dal Russel C26-'34J who received that cablegram one October day. It was Dal Russel who brought great honour to Trinity College School when he was award- ed the Distinguished Flying Cross for the daring and skill with which he is helping beat back the German air attacks on Britain . Bad Boy Makes Good . . . Good Boy Makes It Bad . . . For Hitler. -J. Vipond C33-'35J l-i- .
