76 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD A FANTASY WITH OZ After the traditional Christmas Supper on December 18th, the boys of Boulden House staged their fourth annual pantomime, A Fantasy With Oz -based on the characters from Baum's well-known fable-scored a memorable hit The play opens with Dorothy IL. H. Murrayl arriving in Munchkinland and meeting the White Witch IA. R. Moorel. Her arrival is celebrated by a lively song and dance which reminds her of her native Kansas. Then she sets off on her hazardous journey to Oz. In Scenes II and III, she meets the Scarecrow CN. F. J. Ketchuml, the Tin Woodman CC. J. Tottenhaml and the Cowardly Lion CJ. A. Burtonl. The four encounter further adventures with a forest of enchanted trees--including a Family Tree CM. B. Sullivanl and a trio who uproot them- selves for a soft-shoe dance. Scene IV introduces The Wicked Witch of the West CM. H. H. Bedford-Jonesl and the mischievous Winkies but they are soon vanquished and the road to Oz is open. A magic broom provides the key to the Wizard's friend- ship. Dorothy's helpers are rewarded and to her delighted surprise, she discovers that the Wizard KJ. M. Bandl is a fellow Kansan. Together they leave the Magic City promising to return soon to see their friends. Musical highlights of the evening included two trios- the first listing the wistful hopes of the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Liong the second-Over The Rainbow-done by Dorothy and her Two Guardians. And the Wizard's tuneful declaration that Everything's Up To Date In Kansas City was a tingling finale. The production involved, as in past years, nearly all the boys of Boulden House. A cast of forty-five-a stage crew of six. The construction group under the guidance of Mr. Burns and headed by E. W. Colby and J. C. Ketchum built the properties-the featured prop being a Wizard whose ears wagged-moustaches bristled-legs tapped-and eyes fone red, one bluel lit up!

Scrivin GIBRALTAR Jutting out into the brilliant blue Mediterranean Sea on the southern coast of Spain is the tall, one thousand three hundred and fifty foot Rock of Gibraltar. Guarding the entrance to the Mediterranean, this towering fortress has proved more than valuable to England. Originally Spanish, the rock was captured by the British in 1704 and has been held since as an important stronghold. On ledges in the steep sides the British have placed countless guns which guard the harbour below. The Whole area of less than two square miles is divided in half by the steep rock. In all there are three fishing vil- lages, the most important being Gibraltar, opposite from the Spanish town of La Linea. Between the two there is a frontier and a line of sentries. As there is little agriculture, most of the civilian popu- lation of mixed Spanish, British and Mialtese are fisher- men. The Rock is populated by a species of apes found only on Gibraltar. It is claimed that when the monkeys leave the Rock, the British will have to forever vacate Gibraltar. -M. H. H. Bedford-Jones, Form IIA1 OUR T.C.S. CHAPEL Every night I have the honour and pleasure of visiting what I think is one of the most beautiful spots at T.C.S. Our School Chapel, I a.m sure, will stand out in my mind for years after the solemn day when I leave Trinity Col- lege School. The Chapel is panelled in limed oak of a light brown colour. Above the magnificent altar, there are two fine stained glass windows, in which there is not a piece of glass the size of a dollar bill. On the altar itself, there is a silver
