TRINITY SCHOOL RECORD 9 and the game was continued until just before lunch, when nearly everyone went for a swim. W A By this time appetites were keen and when food was ready it was quickly demolished. CThe grapes, we under- stand, were not used for eating purposes only!J The meal, however, did not prevent anyone from participating in another rugby game. This time, the sides were compara- tively evenly divided. The thought of baseball soon began to appeal to many of the footballers and a game was organized. Mr. Migotti hit the ball so far that time out had to be called to recover it. ' Then, alas, too quickly, the time to go drew near. Every- one gathered near the bus-that is, everyone except those who had chosen to walk along the beach instead of playing baseball. They were rounded up, eventually, and the bus left half an hour late. Altogether, the picnic was a great success and will be regarded by the New Boys, no doubt, as one of the high- lights of the year. THE LIBRARY Anyone passing through Brent House on his way to the classroom block is quick to notice the phenomenal change which has taken place in the old Chapel under the dining hall. Rows of new shelves are in place, awaiting the books which will soon be transferred to them. A new stackroom blends pleasantly into the general layout of the room, which now has fluorescent lighting-a vast improvement upon the old type. Natural light now floods in from both sides and there is a space near the entrance for a reading room. In a few weeks the School will be using its new library. Over five thousand books will have to be moved to their new quarters and this will be a big job for Mr. and Mrs. Dening and the librarians under Hayes and Willoughby, this year's head librarians. The new room will be of great benefit

MOVIES On Saturday, September 17, the School saw three movies entitled Newfoundland Story, Walt Disney's The Olympic Elk and a film of last year's Big Four Football. These were the Hrst to be shown in the new assembly hall and they were enjoyed by everyone. The new ceiling, finished with acoustic board, enables sound to carry clearly to every section of the room and has already proved invaluable both for films and lectures. SING SONG IN THE ASSEMBLY HALL On Saturday night, September 26, a sing song and amateur hour was held in the assembly hall. Mr. J. A. M. Provver accompanied much of the singing, and 112' Angus Scott led the School in a few of the numbers. Higgins i., Tice, and Ryley conducted many of the songs, and Hardy played some popular musical selections. Altogether the evening was fun and we are looking forward to another one in the near future. THE NAUTICAL CLUB This year the nautical club has been formed by Mr. Bishop as a result of the many requests which he has received for instruction in this field. The group plans to hold meetings at whatever times are convenient. There are no officials but plans have already been drawn up for the forthcoming year. These include elementary courses in navigation, map reading, yachting tactics and many other aspects of the sea and sailing. It is also hoped that movies on the various subjects will be shown from time to time. The new club already seems to be a great success with over
