THE T WIC Do you think music should be com- pulsory in the High Schools? he was asked. By no means, but it should be available to those who want it, and it should take the place of certain studies. There might be two different classes in music-the first being a 'musical appreciation' class, which would deal with history, biography, and theory, all on a small scale. This course would be for students who do not desire a knowledge of any special instrument, but who merely wish to be able to listen appre- ciatively and criticize intelligently. 'The second class would be made up of those more deeply interested. Practical and theoretical instruction would go hand in hand, for no musician should be allowed to acquire a good technique without having a thorough understanding of what he is play- ing. We thanked lVlr. Malcolm for his instruc- tive interview, and took our leave. The School joins with us in wishing con- tinued success to Mr. Malcolm and Mr. Godden. N. B. M. -' ttf: fi THE SEVEN DEACONS if V ' Ken, Coulter, John, Allin, Fraser, Donald, Paul. Five of these brothers are graduates of U.T.S., the remaining two are still with us. When Paul graduates, it will mark the end of a period of twentv-five years, during which there has always been one or more of 25 them knocking around the School. As students, they have all taken an active part in school activities. As graduates, they re- tain a lively interest in their school. Sorry there aren't more of them.

THE T WIG i'What qualities do you think a man should possess, before entering politics? Application, and a sense of humour. 'il-laving these, we asked, what course should he take up at Varsity? That is more or less immaterial, There are more lawyers in politics than anything else, but the most important thing is that his mind be well-trained, with, pos-- sibly, a knowledge of political science or economics, which would give him a decided advantage over his fellow-members. After this, the interview closed with Mr. Strachan sending his cordial good wishes to the School. N. B. M. SCOTT MALCOLM After all these years, Scott Malcolm still claims his memorable deed of setting the School on fire was completely unpremedi- tated, and that he had no thoughts of in- cendiarism in his mind at the time. This young, tall, dark Old Boy, who. along with his team-mate, Mr. Reginald Godden, is rapidly becoming recognized as the foremost two-piano team on the con- tinent, took enough time out from rehearsing for a very busy concert season to give The Twig a short interview. Mr. Malcolm entered U.T.S. in l92l, in the first form, under Mr. Halbus. The memorable incident referred to above hap- pened in the following manner. ln a back seat in Mr. Mill's Latin room, which was on the site of the present audi- torium, sat Scott. On his desk he had a hand ball, which he was rolling up and down to liven up the Virgil period. The ball got away from him, and fell to the floor, rolling forward to the boy in the seat in front of him, whose name was Hutchinson. He tried to roll it back, but the fear of being seen by Mr. Mills must have made him jittery, for he missed Scott, and the ball rolled down a hole, through which a pipe had once been. The ball could go only a little way down, for the hole was blocked up with paper. 24 At the noon-hour, after buying a three- cent box of matches at the Owl , and stick- ing a pin in the end of a ruler, Scott started a rescue expedition. He lit a match, and by its light he tried to stab the ball. At this point, according to Mr, Malcolm, the match dropped down the hole. ln a few seconds he saw smoke rising. After a vain attempt to rip up the floor-boards, he ran to Major Bramfitt's room at the end of the hall, and announced that there was .a fire in room 7. The Major told him where he could find the fire extinguisher, but by this time the flames were several feet high, and the smoke was too dense for Scott to do anything. Un- fortunately, however, the fire brigade ar- rived and soon put it out. To compensate him for his failure to burn the School down, the Head thereupon decreed a half-holiday. ln describing this gallant attempt, the look on Mr. Malcolm's countenance changed to that of one who has tried, but has failed. Guy Fawkes must have looked very- much like that the morning after. However, poor old Guy didn't get a half-holiday. Mr. Malcolm graduated in l924, and, in the fall of that year, entered McMaster Uni- versity, being the president of the first year. After spending a year in Europe studying music, he started a business career. ln 1928 he met Mr. Godden, and the next' year they gave a two-piano recital at the Conserva- tory. It was so successful that they decided to team up professionally. They played 'in New York in 1932, and last year they scored another triumph in London. Each year, the number of concerts has steadily increased, until this year they will give ten recitals in Canada and twenty in the States. Asked whether he thought a University course was detrimental to the career of a concert musician, Mr. Malcolm said that it depended to a large extent on the person himself, but the extra book-work would of course detract from the time spent in prac- tising. This is not so important with a singer, but he said it would be better for an instrumentalist to spend those years in travelling and studying music.
