TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 7 Glen Bedore spent only one year with us, from Septem- ber, 1942, until April, 1943. His ambition was to complete his Upper School and enter the Navy. During the months he was at T.C.S. he showed unusual determination and self discipline, striving to accomplish in less than a year work which would generally take two years. He allowed him- self to play football and never can anyone forget his amazing speed in running, or the vigour of his tackling. Time after time Glen's slight iigure would emerge from a mass of players and slip away with extraordinary agility and quickness. The game with S.A.C. in 1942 remains clearly in mind, four times in the first half Glen broke away for touchdowns, iirst running twenty yards, then thirty, then forty, and finally, an achievement for all time, he took the ball well behind his own line and ran one hundred and twenty yards before putting it down for a touch be- hind the S.A.C. line. For these and other performances on the football field he was awarded a distinction cap. Glen enlisted in the Fleet Air Arm on May 5, 1943. He was posted to Lee-on-Solent in June and later to H.M.S. St. Vincent for initial training. In December, 1943, he began his flying at St. Eugene, Ontario, and in March, 1944, he went to Kingston where he received his wings on June 7. During his training at Kingston he visited the School and Was the same cheerful lad we had known, he seemed to love flying. Proceeding to England in July, he was stationed in Cumberland and promoted to the rank of Acting Sub-Lieu- tenant. Later lie was transferred to Henstridge. For a month, from December, 1944, to January, 1945, he learned to fly from aircraft carriers and at the end of January he was posted to H.M.S. Implacable and proceeded to the East. On his way out, Glen mentioned visits to Port Said, Egypt, India and Ceylon. He had leave in Australia and soon afterwards Went into action, bombing Truk in the Carolinas. One 'of his friends believes he was bombing the Japanese airfield of Kure when he was lost.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 9 Q m HAPELT TES It is with much pleasure that we welcome back to the School the Rev. Norman Taylor who has served for the past four and a half years as a Chaplain in the Royal Canadian Air Force with the rank of Squadron Leader. During his years of absence from us we missed him greatly, but we were cheered by the reports of his great work among our airmen, and now that his services are no longer required by the Air Force we are very glad to have him in our midst once more, we hope that he will stay with us for many years to come. Li ..1.. 1 . Worship in the Chapel On the first Sunday of term, September 16, the Rev. H. N. Taylor preached the sermon in Chapel, taking for his text the Prayer Book version of the iifteenth verse of the iifty-first Psalm: We took sweet counsel togetherg and walked in the house of God as friends. Applying the text to our worship in the Chapel, the Chaplain expressed the opinion that the supreme merit of a school chapel is that it gives no excuse for formalism and self-consciousness, that the life of the school should ilow more strongly from the Chapel than anywhere elseg that our Worship should widen our outlook and deepen our sympathies. The one means by which our School can be
