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

12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD THE DRAMATIC SOCIETY Only six members of last year's Dramatic Society re- turned this year, but since the beginning of term the officers for the year have been elected and eight new members have been admitted. 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.

14 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL REICORD Several conclusions can be made from these results: 1. The standing was very much the same in one paper as in another, unlike the results of most years when a large number of boys would do particularly well or poorly in certain papers. 2. There were no failures in four subjects, including English, which was one of the lowest marked subjects last year. 3. Our top boys did not obtain as many first class honours as their ability seemed to warrantg six iirsts was the maximum obtained by only two boys. 4. The total percentage of honours has only been exceeded three times in the past eleven years. 5. It seems even more than usually difficult to count on a first class boy being given first class standing in English or French. The two top scholars in those subjects this year were given lil a credit in English Composition, and fiil a second and a third in the French papers. The Department will not allow appeals in any papers which have been given pass standing or better. The boys with the best standing were as follows: Firsts Seconds Thirds Credits Cran, J. A. ..... .... 6 1 1 1 Day, E. A. ..... .... 6 1 1 1 Polak, J. ............... .... 5 1 2 1 Hargraft, M. A. .... .... 4 4 1 .. Lafleur, A. J. ....... .... 4 4 .. 1 Seymour, D.

Boys in VI B had not completed all their Middle School, but all attempted some Upper School papers, passing just fifty percent of them. Counting their results with the others, the percentage of passes was better for all boys
