12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD So it is at this time of year that we remember the angels and, what is most important, the fact that they have charge over us. .L.... .Ll. -. SERVICE OF DEDICATION On Sunday, September 30, at noon, a private service was held in the Chapel at which the two gallery windows were dedicated in memory of Donald William McLaren C20- '29l and Squadron Leader Robert Duncan McLaren C28- '34l. The windows were given by Mrs. Duncan McLaren and designed and executed by Miss Yvonne Williams of To- ronto. They depict the Holy Family, Mary, Joseph and the Baby in one, and Mary, Joseph and the young Boy in another. In the north window may also be seen a small figure of a young man in civilian clothes and in the south window a figure of an Air Force pilot. Donald McLaren died from a sudden illness in August 1929: Bob McLaren had been studying aeronautics in Eng- land before the war and had joined the Air Force on the outbreak of hostilities. He instructed in Canada for two years and then returned to England where he was attached to a special Meteorological Flight. He took part in many hazardous missions and was awarded the D.F.C. for dis- tinguished and gallant service. He was killed in action on February 27, 1945, while on duty over Germany. The School feels most privileged to have these lovely windows. THE CHOIR The newly organized choir has already made a favour- able impression while fulfilling its most important function, that of leading the singing in the Chapel Services. Only seven of the Senior Boys returned in September. Seventeen of the many volunteers have been selected to fill the vacancies.

14 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD The top candidate in each Flying Club in Canada is being re-tested by one examiner in a flying test. The final result of the test will be added to the ground school results in the ratio of 75 percent for flying and 25 percent for ground exams, to arrive at the final figure for the Tudhope Trophy. Derry is the first T.C.S. boy who has been selected for competition in this trophy. The result will not be known until Christmas. i THE OLD BOYS' WEEK-END - THANKSGIVING The old familiar faces again invaded T.C.S. No resist- ance was made against this invasion for it was indeed a pleasure to recreate old times in our conversation. The main attack staged by those returning to the School for the week-end occurred on Monday afternoon. It came in the shape of a slightly disorganized split T attack which ran up four touchdowns against the Middleside foot- ball squad who were held to two. Both the Middleside and Bigside coaches opposed the School. The final minute of the battle produced a touchdown pass for Middleside even though the opposition numbered about 25 for the final play. The average weight of the split T line of the Old Boys has been calculated as 210 lbs.-the more credit to Middleside. The Montreal crowd acted as the first line of battle. The Lodge served as an unusually comfortable barracks. Soon to follow up were representations bearing military standards from U. of T., Queen's and Western. Many other colleges were also represented at the call to arms. Of great interest to spectators and also combatants was the soccer game between the present members of the School and a team of Old Boys and masters. The game resulted in a 1-1 tie and hence a truce was made. There was some question about the number playing for the Old Boys, but it was made clear they were all 60-minute men -the whole fifteen of them.
