Mr. A. Scott is again our director and, judging by last year's successes, this year should be a memorable one in the society's annals. This year we also have two assistant directors, Messrs. Migotti and Shepherd. They will produce the play for the Christmas entertainment and will be of great help to us. Molson has been elected President and Cumberland Vice-President. The following are the other officials: Van Straubenzee, Treasurer, Ross ii, Committee Member, and Davison, Secretary. The remaining nine members are ten Broek, Audain, Hyde, Ham, Meighen, Montemurro, Saegert, Spivak and Sutton. Rehearsals for the Christmas play will begin shortly and there will soon be a meeting to select a full-length play for Easter. Among the many Old Boys who have visited the School recently were: T. C. McConkey C96-'99J who called on the opening day of the new term, Bill Harris C47-'51J who spent the summer studying forestry methods in Alabama and is now in his third year of Forestry at the University of Torontog Tim Cawley, Bob McCullagh, Richard Hogarth, J.

TRINITY COLLEGE, SCHOO'L RECORD 11 fifty members on its list. We are sure that all will benefit greatly from the meetings. -T. THE ART CLUB The Art Club resumed its activities again this year under the supervision of Mr. Key. The club is planning to meet at least once a week and also to show interesting films on art at some of the meetings. The elections were held at the end of September at which Roe was elected president, Ruddy i, programme convener, Higgins ii, secretary and Ferrie, curator. It was also decided that the club would dis- play in some prominent place, the best picture produced each week by a club member. This would be selected by a committee formed by the Art Club. The School museum, now affiliated with the Art Club, is again under the care of Wil- loughby and Hayes. V 1.1 FRENCH CLUB The Cercle Francais has resumed its activities again this year with Molson as President and Brine as Secretary. Under the able direction of Mr. Bishop it has a full pro- gramme of activities and it is now planning another French play for the Christmas Entertainment, which should be a great success. It will, for the time being, be the chief activity of the club. However, the Cercle's plans also in- clude the reading of French stories, the playing of French games and the showing of French movies. The practice is being continued this year of having two tables in the hall reserved on Friday night for those who wish to speak French at this meal. Both members and non-members may sit at these tables. Altogether the club is looking forward to a very successful year.

The time table was even more exacting than usual, most boys having two papers a day for three or four days running, immediately after Speech Day, but the end of term was put a Week earlier than orig- inally set and there was more opportunity to study. The following is a comparison of the results for 1952 and 1953: Analysis of Upper School Results 1952 1953 Number of Candidates ............ 34 32 Papers attempted .............. ...... 2 94 271 Papers passed ................. ........ 2 33 79.392 252 92.792 Papers failed ............... .... 6 1 20.7 72 19 7 .302 First class honours ....... .... 4 8 1639? 59 21.7 92 Second class honours ...... ..... 4 7 16.0C? 59 21.792 Third class honours ....... ..... 4 3 14.696 48 17.7W Credits ......................... ..... 9 5 32.396 85 31.394 Total honours .......... ..... 1 38 46.971 166 61.296
