16 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD Masters Leaving We were all sorry to learn that several of last year's masters would not be back this fall. We hear that Lieut. Crake, is at the Peterborough Training Centre as an instructor. He is very much missed by his classics students, especially those who took Greek. Mr. Hass is now a Pilot-Officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force acting as Physical Training Instructor. Lieut.- Col. Stevenson has taken over his position as resident master of Petry House. Mr. Shearer, we are sad to say, has returned to his teaching post at Upper Canada. The classrooms are very quiet without him. Mr. Thow has joined the Civil Service, Censorship Dept., Ottawa. Mr. Duggan also left us at the end of last year, and has now joined the R.C.N.V.R. We wish all these masters the very best of luck, and we are looking forward very much to their visiting us. Half Holiday Last summer, and we quote the Headmaster, Mr. Batt decided to take unto him a wife . This he did with very good taste, and on Friday, September 25, Mrs. Batt was presented to the School by her husband. After a speech of introduction by the Headmaster, Mr. Batt rose and told the School that all the prizes in gym, shooting and other athletic events, in which he had coached the boys, were won solely by co-operation between himself, the boys, and the heads of departments. When the applause died away, Mrs. Batt asked for a half holiday. This was grant- ed on October 1. The couple were presented with an in- scribed silver tray from the School. l
