EDITORIAL
Our first word this year must of necessity be to those Old Boys who have returned from service overseas. Wherever they may be, we would like them to know that we do extend to them all a hearty welcome back home. Already many of them have visited the School and we hope that more will do so from time to time as they get the opportunity.
The Black and Red is considerably curtailed this year on account of the lack of paper. As a result, we have had to omit many pictures and items about other matters which would otherwise have appeared in this issue.
This year, as ever>' year, we are losing a number of Senior boys whom we are going to miss very much. We do hope that in future years, they will look back on their years spent here with gratitude and some pleasant memories.
The increased enrolment of last year has been fairly well main' tained this year and the Schoolhouse has been taxed to capacity.
We regret to note that since the last issue, we have received news that three more of our Old Boys have lost their lives on active service: W. A. Albert, 1937-1941; H. H. Mackenzie, 1938-1939; J. G. Mackid, 1925-1932. We have also to note the passing of two Governors of the School: Mr. C. A. Cotterell, who died at Van- couver last February, and Mr. J. W. Spencer, who died on June 18th. Also we have to note the death of the Rev. Canon N. E. Smith, who died on January 31st, 1945, and who for many years was a valued friend of the School. For many years these gentlemen were interested in our success and achievement and the School is poorer for their passing. _G. H. S.
SCHOOL NOTES
CONGRATULATIONS TO . . .
Grant as the Ker Cup winner for 1946;
Pearson as the winner of the Don Hugh Chapman Cup for 1946; Dalziel as Senior Sports Champion; Shaw as Intermediate Champion; Kreger II as Junior Champion;
Kruger as the wmner of the Cross Country Race for 1946; Cadet Captain Grant, Officers, N. C. O.'s, and Mr. Cropper on the outstanding achievements of the Cadet Corps.
Our thanks are due to J. P. Chadwick, J. G. Wenman, H. B. Holt, F. N. Cabeldu, A. G. Tisdale, F. G. SkiUings, Old Boys, and the Masters and to Mr. A. McKinnon for their efficient help on Sports Day.
Last September we welcomed to the Staff Mr. R. G. Thistle waite, B. A., B. Paed. During the year he has acted as Form Master of Grade X and assisted in general duties.
We were glad to give a warm welcome to Mr. W. R. G. Wen' man last November, after an absence of five years during which time he served with H. M. Forces Overseas.
We are sorry to report that last December, after nearly 20 years of active and efficient service with the School, Miss E. W. Bowden, our Matron, was compelled to give up her post on ?ccount of ill health. We extend a most cordial welcome to Mrs. Proverbs who joined us last Term.
After the Cadet Inspection on May 7th, the boys of the Corps were given a 9:00 o'clock leave. After having experienced a very strenuous day, it was much appreciated.
A Confirmation Service was held at St. Luke's on Sunday, May 19th. A large congregation attended the Service at which Shipley I, Shipley II, Perram, Snape, Taylor, Ballantyne, Shaw, Morgan. West, Wheatley, Howard, and Burnett v.'ere confirmed by the Lord Bishop of British Columbia. The Bishop gave a very im- pressive address which no doubt will long be remembered by the boys.
Twice this year we have been compelled to try our hand at fire fighting. On October 17th, we extinguished a small fire at the Rifle Range and on .June 13th, the Swimming Tank was threatened by some wood in the furnace room which had become overheated. On both occasions, the fire was well under control before the arrival of the Fire Brigade.
We are grateful to Mr. E. Ball, former Mi listcr o'" Education for Saskatchewan, for twenty- three Volumes of "'Canada and its Provinces". The gift forms a very valuable addition to our Library.
The 40th Founder's Day was observed at the School as usual on October 7th. The Headmaster gave an account of the Founding of the School and its grov^th through the years. He stressed the ideals of the Founders and referred to the achievements of the Old Boys of the School and expressed the hope that the present boys would be worthy successors. The usual cheers for the Headmaster and the Old School wen.- then given.
As usual the Armistice Day Service was held at 10:45 in the Front Hall The Headmaster conducted the service which was at' tended by all the boys and members of the staff. The names of those who have lost their lives in the two Wars were read out. Prayers were offered for the bereaved. Prayers were followed by the laying of the School Wreath on the Honour Roll by Dalziel.
The Service concluded at 11:00 o'clock with the sounding of the Last Post by the trumpeters of the Cadet Corps Band, after which the boys filed past the Honour Roll, leaving by the front door.
We offer our warmest congratulations to our Chairman of the Board of Governors, Mr. F. E. Winslow, on being awarded the O. B. E. for long and outstanding service to his fellow citizens during the War years.
Our best thanks are due to Dr. W. H. Worthington for the beautiful photographs of Donald and Jack. These have been suitably framed and now hang in the School dining room.

SPEECH DAY
The 40th Annual Speech Day was held on Friday, 21 June, when the Very Rev. Dean Spencer Elliott presented the academic prizes.
The proceedings opened with Prayers and the reading of the Scripture. The Headmaster then gave his Report, outlming the academic and athletic achievements of the past year.
He then introduced the Dean who in a clear forceful manner emphasized the importance of a liberal education and the necessity of applying oneself diligently to those subjects the practical appli- cation of which was not readily apparent. During the course of his remarks he stressed the importance of religious training which played so vital a part in the School curriculum.

SPORTS DAY
Sports Day this year was held on June 1st. In spite of the rain the previous day, the weather was ideal and a very large number of parents and friends of the School were present. There was a large and representative group of Old Boys to witness the event, many of them having returned from Service Overseas.
The presentation of prizes was made by Dr. G. H. Worthington of Vancouver, B. C. The Headmaster welcomed the guests and said that it afforded him great pleasure to have Dr. Worthington present the prizes. Dr. Worthington addressed the gatheiing and pointed out to the boys the great advantages which they derived by reason of attending the School. Mr. Winslow, Chairman of the Board of Governors, thanked Dr. Worthington for his address and kindly interest.

CRICKET, 1946
At a meeting held early in the term G. D. Morant was elected Captain for the season and O. B. Morgan, a new boy of considerable promise, was chosen to assist him as Vice-Captain. Only four of last year's team were available and it was evident that it would be no easy matter, especially as the season was very short, to bnng the side up to standard.
Six fixtures were arranged but only iive v.'ere completed, as heavy rain fell at Shawnigan Lake after 40 minutes of play. Three matches were won, two drawn, and one lost.
Shaw headed the batting averages, scoring 77 runs for an average of slightly over 19. Baker had an average of 14 and Morgan one of 12. Shaw also led the bowlers, his 10 wickets costing him 4.3 runs apiece, but the brunt of the bowling was shared by Morant and Morgan, the former taking 21 for 140 for an average of 6.67, and the latter 16 for 101 for a 6.31 average.
The full team for the- year was as foUov^-s: G. D. Morant (Captain), O. B. Morgan (Vice-Captain), R. G. R. Dalziel, M. A. Grant, T- D. H. Bryn^Jones, D. V. Shaw, B. P. Baker, S. G. G. Riley, J. L. Whittome, W. E. Cox, and M. L. Clitford.
The Clayton Cup, which since 1912 has been competed for by teams within the School, was this year won by DaUiel's team.
Some talent was noticed among the more junior boys: Myers, Henley, Shipley II and Skillings being particularly keen.
1st XI MATCHES
ScH(X)L VS. Oak B.ay C. C.
The season was opened against Oak Bay, a new club, who fielded a side mainly composed of boys. Batting first, Oak Bay fared badly against Morgan, who took 3 for 11, and Shaw, whose figures flattered him beyond measure, 5 for 3. Morgan showed that he could hit the loose ball and batted freely and well, while Shaw, who came in later, hit some very bad bowling hard. The School won by 41 runs.

School vs. University School "Incogs"
The "Incogs,*" playing their first game since 1941, were too strong for the School and won by 54 runs in a twelve-a-side match. With the exception of Morgan the School bowlers were ineffective and were treated w-ith scant respect. Morgan took 5 for 32 and the School fielding was moderate. The earlier School players failed miserably and Bryn-Jones alone looked like a batsman. Dalziel and Bennett improved matters late in the innings by vigorous and un- orthodox methods.

School vs. Brentwood College
The School were lucky to make 95 and were largely indebted to Shaw, who, though unorthodox and fortunate to a degree, hit the hall hard and was undefeated with 52. Clifford, playing his first game for the 1st XI, helped Shaw to add 27 runs for the last wicket. The School fielding was poor: catches were missed and the ground fielding was bad beyond expression. When stumps were drawn Brentwood, only one run behind and with three wickets still in hand, had played enterprising cricket and Vv'ere most unlucky not to win.

School vs. Shawnigan Lake School The return match at Shawnigan Lake was stopped by rain after forty minutes play. Shawnigan Lcike lost three wickets for 24 runs, Morant taking 2 for 8.
School vs. Brentwood College This, the final match of the season, was played at home, the School winning on their merits. Morant took 4 Brentwood wickets for 7 runs in 13 overs and bowled at his best. Morgan took ^ for 18 and Brentwood were out for 36. The School fared little better and it was only when Morant and Baker were together that any stand developed. The latter refused to flatter the bowling, and hitting well, was undefeated with 33 at the close, at which time the School had scored 55 for 8 wickets.

CHARACTERS OF THE 1st XI
MORANT (Capt.) — Developed splendidly with the ball. BowHng with spirit and keeping a length, he was the mainstay of the School attack and never failed. A weak batsman but fair in the field. As a captain he lacked experience, was rather excitable, and paid insufficient attention to the placing of his field. Extremely keen and enthusiastic.
MORGAN (Vice-Captain) — A good all rounder. Never really did himself justice but is a batsman of real promise with some excellent shots in front of the wicket. His running between the wickets is poor. As a bowler he kept a fair length but had a tendency to no ball. A sound fielder with good hands. Enthusiastic to a degree and possesses a know ledge of the game such as is all too seldom seen.
BRYN'JONES— -A left-hander with an attractive style who has never come off. The strokes are there but confidence and decision are still lacking. He is a betten. bowler than he himself believes and could excel in this department. Fair in the field.
DALZIEL — He can punish loose bowling but his defence is weak and he possesses no strokes on the off-side. His bowling always lacked sting and frequently length. Very active in the field and was keen and enthusiastic at all times.
16
GRANT — Lethargic and not active enough as a wic! e: keeper and too apt to use his pads rather than his gloves. Somewhat improved as a bat and was beginning to develop the necessary confidence.
SHAW — Quick on his feet and h ts the loose ball ha d but possesses little in the way of defence. Has had success with the ball against tail-end batsmen but his control of length is faulty and he bowls far too few good balls to worry a batsman of any experience. Fair in the field and has proved a useful member of the side.
BAKER — The most improved member of the team and a natural hitter of real promise. He hits straight and times the ball well on the leg side. His defence, though not strong, has improved. A fair field and not without promise as a bowler.
RILEY — As a batsman he had some idea of defense but his attacking strokes were few. Keen in the held.
WHITTOME — He has come on somewhat with the ball but his bowling lacks "hostility" as yet. Interest and etfort would bring him wickets. A bad fielder.
CLIFFORD — Has developed a fair defence and a few strokes on the leg side but is too prone to "'nibble" on the off side. Very keen in the field and has good hands. Enthusiastic to a degree and shows real promise.
COX — Quite keen and promising. Strong on the leg side but his defence is by no means sound. Very fair in the field.

SWIMMING and DIVING
The Swimming and Diving competitions were held on June 10th. Mr. A. McKinnon acted as judge and was accompanied this year by tw^o excellent swimmers from the Y. M. C. A., who gave some astounding performances and demonstrations of what can be done in the various styles of swimming. These same young men recently went to Eastern Canada and now hold Canadian Cham- pionships.
Our own Swimming competition was won by Gilbert who was awarded the Mathews Cup. The Diving was won by Riley.
GYMNASTICS
The Gym competition was held on March 22nd. As usual Mr. A. McKinnon acted as judge. He complimented Mr. Taylor, the instructor, and the boys on their work and judged DaUiel as Captain of the Gym VIII for 1946. Dalziel was awarded the Hay Croft Cup. The remaining members of the team w^ere Riley I, Kreger I, Kreger II, Perram, Bryn-Jones, Riley II, and Morrow.
THE CROSS COUNTRY RUN
This year the Run was held on March 29th; 72 boys took the run and the winner was Kruger; he covered the course in 25 minutes and won the Cup presented by the Old Boys.
The best Junior for the third year in succession was Kreger II. Quite a large number of Juniors participated and made good time.
TENNIS
The finals were held on June 13th but were unable to be com- pleted on that day on account of rain. They were completed later and the Singles Championship was won by Perram who defeated Bryn-Jones 6-4, 6-1. Perram was awarded the Barnacle Cup. The Doubles were won by Perram and Dakiel who defeated Bryn' Jones and Morgan 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.

RUGBY FOOTBALL, 1945-46
With nine members of last year's team available, prospects for the 1945-46 season were promising. It was soon evident, however, that the knowledge of the game possessed by many was extremely sketchy and that in the vital positions, at half and in the centre, there were definite weaknesses. These weaknesses were never eradi' cated, with the result that behind the scrum the team never showed to advantage and time and again only the lion-hearted play of Dalziel saved them from eclipse. Among the forwards there was much talent and by mid'season a fairly well balanced pack, particularly strong in the "'loose,'''' rounded into shape.
Twelve matches were played by the 1st X'V, seven of which were won and five lost.
The official team for the season was as follows: R. G. R. Dalziel (Capt.), R W. Bissett (Vice-Capt.), P. M. Perram, W. M. Riley, M. R Vidler, R. W. Duncan, G. D. Morant, J. D. H. Bryn-Jones, M. A. Grant, R. R. Badda, D. M. Kreger, F. E S. Atkins, J. O. Mothersill, D. H. Francis, and K. W. Bennett.
The 2nd X'V played six matches, three of which were won, two lost and one drawn. Some fair talent was revealed, particulary among the forwards, where McLarty, McLellan and Morrison were pro' minent. Here again lack of sound knowledge was evident and the backs were weak.
In addition to the 1st and 2nd teams a llO'lb. team was organ- ized and matches we're played with Fairbridge Farm School, Oaklands School, and on a slightly different weight basis, with Shawnigan Lake School. In this group were players of real promise who should be outstanding in the more senior teams in the near future.

FIRST FIFTEEN MATCHES
School vs. Victoria High School The School opened the season at Victoria High School, where they were successful by the only try scored.
The ground was heavy and the game was a forward one. The School pack, though outweighed, managed to give the backs a fair share of the ball but poor passing spoilt many a promising movement. After a period of defensive play the School exerted pressure and just before half time Perram all but scored. He was injured, however, and did not appear after half time.
The game was very even after the restart v.'ith little outstanding play by cither side, although Badda put in some useful work for the School on the wdng. Shortly before the end the School forwards carried the ball over for the only score of the game.
School vs. Brentwood College This game was played at Brentwood on Nov. 10th and resulted in a win for the home team by the only try scored.
Rain fell throughout and play was largely of a forward nature. Brentwood had a decided advantage in the first half but though the School were hard pressed, they succeeded in holding out until half time. As the whistle blew, Perram, the School outside half, was in- jured and following the resumption of play, Brentwood sportingly dropped a man.
21
The School did better in the second half and had a fair share of the game, hut the only score came in the last five minutes when bad tackling let a Brentwood player in :t the flag for an unconverted try.
The School backs were weak all round and the tackling of the team as a whole was poor. The work of the School forwards, of whom Stephenson was by far the best, was inferior to that of their opponents both in the loose and in the line out.
School vs. Brentwood College The home game against Brentwood College was played under perfect weather conditions and resulted in a win for the School by two goals, a penalty goal, and a try (16 pts.) to a goal (5 pts.).
Dalziel opened the scoring for the School after about ten minutes play making no mistake with a penalty kick from inside the Brent- wood twenty-five. At this stage, Brentv.ood were more convincing behind the scrum but the School forv.ards were superior in the loose and fully held their own in the tight. Shortly before half time, the School went further in front when Kreger I picked up a loose ball inside the Brentwood tweny-five and dodged his way over at the flag. Dahiel failed to convert. After the r:sumption play contin'ied to b" very even and for the most part between the two twenty-fives until Perram, taking advantage o^ a Brentwood fumbk near the half v.ay line, gathered, ran around the opposition ?nd cut in to score between the posts. Dalziel converted and the School led 11-0. This lead v,'as increased when Dalziel, taking a prss from Perram on the half wav line and using his great speed, ran around the opposing backs and down the wing to score a grand try at the flag for Morant to add the extra points with a splendid kick. Late in the game, bad tackling allowed a Brentwood player to cross at the flag and score between the posts. Goal was kicked and the School won 16-5.
Although without two of their regular members, the School played keen, robust football: the forwards were fast on the ball and the tackling was greatly improved. The backs were not very con- vincing but took full advantage of mistakes by the opposition. Ste- phenson, Francis and Bennett were the pick of the forw^ards while Dalziel was easily the most effective of the backs. Both newcomers, Riley II at scrum half, and Br>'n-Jones at full back showed to advan- tage in their first game for the School.
School vs. 0.\k B.\y High School The School were not at full strength for their game against
Oak Bay High School at Cranmore Road, but their form was very
disappointing and Oak Bay won 12-3.
The Oak Bay forw^ards were very keen and vigorous in the
loose completely outplaying the School and making constructive work
by the School backs ver>' difiicult by their "kick and run" tactics. From scrambles near the School line Oak Bay scored two tries in
each half: none were converted. The School replied in the second
22
halt when Bissett, the scrum half, ran through on his own from the Oak Bay twenty-five to provide one of the few bright spots in a very poor game. Morant failed to convert. Although Dalziel was always dangerous and Kreger I made one good run, the School backs were far from happy, and though the tackling of the team showed some improvement, the handling and kicking left much to be desired.
School vs. Shawnigan Lake School The School were too strong for their opponents at Shawnigan Lake and won by six tries and a goal (23 pts.) to nil.
The general calibre of play w^as not good and little of a con- structive nature was shown by either team. Kreger I opened the scoring early in the game and both Dahiel and Perram added tries before half time when the School led 9-0.
Following the change over, play was somewhat more spirited. Dalziel was the first to score; then came two quick tries by Perram, the second after clever use of the "dummy". Duncan finished the scoring vvhen he snapped up a loose ball and ran through on his own, a just reward for keen forward play. The place kicking was poor, Morant being the only one to kick goal though Riley I, Dalziel, Perram and Francis also tried their hands. The School three-quarters, of whom Dalziel and Perram were the best, were never together, and the halves were far too slow. Stephenson, Duncan and Vidler were the pick of the forwards.
School vs. Royal N.wal College (2nd XV) Weather and ground conditions were excellent and some very open football was expected. Unfortunately, this did not prove to be the case, as the College backs favoured the shortkick, and the running and passing of the School three-quarters was so poor that they pro- fited little from a fair share of a dry ball.
Early in the game Dalziel took a pass from Perram and went through the centre on his own from half way to score between the posts. This try was purely the result of DalziePs own great speed and determination and was not brought about by any constructive work by the backs. Morant failed to convert. A little later Badda forced himself into the clear on the right wing but with only the full back to beat his scoring pass to Perram was too long delayed and forward. Play was of a ver>' even nature until shortly before half time the Naval College were awarded a penalty thirty yards out and almost on the touch line from which spot a splendid penalty goal was kicked. Immediately after play was resumed some very bad handling in the College twenty-five and some keen and vigorous play by Duncan resulted in this player beating the opposition to the ball after a Col- lege man had dropped a pass in his own in-goal. Riley I failed to add the extra points. The School increased their lead when Riley I, having dribbled a loose ball some yards, gathered, and when tackled near the line, gave to Morant, who forced his way over for a try which Dalziel turned into a goal. Towards the end, the College applied
23
pressure and for some time play was in the School twenty-five. No further score resulted, however, and the School v. on a well-contested game 11-3.
Of the School forwards, Stephenson, was outstanding and re- ceived good support from Vidler and Duncan who were excellent in the loose. Bissett was too slow at the base of the scrum. Riley I and Perram were not happy either in attack or defence, and Dalziel alone appeared capable of scoring a try or acting resolutely when danger threatened.
School vs. Brentwood College
Brentwood, playing at home, were too clever for the School in this, the third game of the season between the schools.
Fortune favoured the School when in the first minute a faulty kick by a Brentwood player placed the ball in the hands of Badda, the School right wing. Badda ran strongly to v.'ithin five yards of the Brentwood line, where he was tackled, and Duncan, who was up in support, scooped up the loose ball and fell over near the corner for a try which Morant failed to improve.
Brentwood then attacked strongly and, well-served by two good halves, their outsides were always dangerous. Before half time two unconverted tries had been scored and this advantage would have been greatly increased but for the splendid tackling of Dalziel whose defensive play was of a high order. The School forwards played fairly well, and the backs had their chances, but their handling was faulty and opportunities were thrown away.
After the change over both sides played vigorous football but Brentwood were always more constructive and despite heroic efforts by Dalziel increased their lead by a goal late in the game and won by two tries and a goal (11 pts.) to a try (3 pts.).
The School forwards more or less held their own throughout though their packing in the loose was inferior to their opponents. Once again the School backs were most unconvincing in attack and with the exception of DaUiel and Badda defended badly.
School vs. Victoria High School The game was played at Victoria High School and resulted in a win for the home team by a goal and a try (8 pts.) to a try (3 pts.). During the first half the High School had the better of the game but only managed to score once when bad tackling allowed their right wing to cross at the flag and to score between the posts. The tr^^ was converted. The School replied shortly before half time when, following a scrum in midfield, Dalziel, using his great speed and determination, beat man after man to score a try which Morant failed to improve.
After half time the School played with spirit and had rather more of the game, but the forwords were always struggling to hold their own against taller and heavier men. In consequence the School
24
backa had ver>' tew opportunities and the halves were not quiek or clever enough to turn them to advantage. The High School increased their lead when one of their backs forced himself over during a scramble on the School line but the try was not converted. In the closing minutes the School exerted strong pressure: both Perram and Badda were all but over and the best chance of the day was ruined when Grant's vital pass to Perram was untakeable. Little good football was played, but both sides were keen and the game was robust to a degree Of the School forwards Vidler, Francis and Riley I were prominent, while of the backs Perram showed that given running room he could be dangerous, and Dalziel was his determined courageous self.
School vs. Brentwood College
This, the fourth game of the season between the two teams re- sulted in a win for the School by the odd try in three.
The ground was heavy and the ball v^^et but no rain fell during the game and both sides handled fairly well and play was extremely keen and vigorous throughout.
From the opening whistle the School exerted pressure and main- tained It until half time. The forwards fully held the Brentwood pack in the line out and the tight and were deiinitely superior in the loose where they were far quicker on the ball. Vidler was very prominent for the School in the loose and was a constant source of worry to the Brentwood centres and halves. The School backs while not as sound as their opponents, were definitely more thrustful. Two good chances were lost when first Grant and then Perram w^ent right through the centre and only lack of support prevented certain tries Dalziel frequently tested the opposing full back with high punts and on at least one occasion a try almost resulted. Shortly before half time, following a scrum on the Brentwood line, the forwards pushed their opponents over and Duncan scored a try which Morant failed to improve.
After the breather the School continued to press and Dalziel increased the lead with a typical determined dash down the left wing. Riley I failed to convert. Brentwood then rallied and for the rest of the game fully held their own. Their wings were always dangerous but the School tackling, particularly that of Riley I and Dalziel, was keen and sure. Perram and Badda also played good defensive football at this stage. Shortly before the end Brentwood scored a very nice try on the left wing at the flag. This try was not converted and the School won a fine game 6-5.
The School team gave a very spirited and improved display. The improvement was especially noticeable behind the scrum where Grant played with new dash and confidence and Perram gave a pleasing display both in attack and defense. Dalziel gave his usual lion-hearted exhibition, v^'hile Riley I and Badda on the wangs held difiicult opponents well.
25
School vs. A Royal Canadl^n Naval College Team The School, without Colours, were too strong for a team from the Naval College and won by three goals, a penalty goal, and a try (21 pts.) to a penalty goal and two tries (9 pts.).
Ground and weather conditions were good and the game was very open. Kreger I and Morrison scored tries in the opening half while Morant converted Morrison's try and was also successful from a penalty. The College replied with two tries and the School led 11-6 at half time.
After the restart Duncan put the School further ahead and Grant added the final try shortly before the end. This last try was by far the best of the game and came when Perram, by clever use of the '"dummy,'' put himself through the centre, drew the fullback and gave Grant, who was well up in support, a scoring pass. Morant, who kicked well throughout, converted both tries. The College failed to cross the School line during the second half, but were sue cessful Vv'ith a penalty given agamst the School for "feet up". The School forwards were too active for the opposing pack and gave the outsides many opportunities. The backs, v;ithout Dalziel, v^'ere not convincing, but Grant displayed improved form and Perram once again proved himself the most intelligent three-quarter in the School.
School vs. Chilliw.ack High School
The game with Chilliwack High School was played at home. B. Watt, a member of last year's School side, was instrumental in arranging the fixture and is to be warmly commended, not only for his play, which was of a high order, but for his enthusiasm and keenness in carrying his knowledge of football to his new school and furthering its advancement there.
For some time play was fairly even but gradually the School gained control and Chilliwack was hard pressed. The School backs finished badly, however, and time and again promising movements were ruined. In addition Chilliwack defended well. Perram and Dalziel combined well several times but it was Badda who opened the scoring when he crossed at the flag. Morant failed to convert.
After the resumption the School controlled the game completely but the backs were never together and the Chilliwack defense held until shortly before the end when Francis, who had a good match, fought his way over from a line out. Morant failed to convert and the School won 6-0.
ChilUwack were a heavy side, played vigorous football and defended well. The School, though the better side, threw their chances away, and their backs, including Dakiel, gave a poor display.
, School vs. Old Boys This, the final match of the season, was played at the School and resulted in a win for the Old Boys by three goals and a try (18 pts.) to 0.
26
The Old Boyj with Gibbs, the Victoria Rep Team captain, at centre three-quarter, were particulary strong behind the scrum. Their pack, well led by Corry, a prominent forward on this year's Pro- vincial Champions, Varsity Thundcrhirds, fully held their own with the School scrum who were without Riley I and Francis.
After a spell of fairly even play the Old Boys opened the scoring when R. DaUiel caught the School napping going over on the blind side follovvang a scrum near the School line. The try was scored between the posts and Williams added the extra points. A little later Corry shook oif several School tacklers in a determined run and scored far out. Williams failed to convert.
After the change over, with the wind at their backs, the School for a short time e.\erted pressure. The backs showed little of a con- structive nature, however, and after Morant was wide with two penalty kicks, the Old Boys again took command. R. Dalziel scored his second trv far our V'/hen he forced his way over after picking up a loose ball: irresolute tackling was responsible for this try which Williams goaled with a magnificent kick. The School Vv'ere saved on two occarions, once by Bryn-Jones Vv'hen he brought Gibbs down when this dangerous player was in the clear, and once by Kreger I who bundled Creer>' into touch at a critical moment. The Old Boys were not to be denied, however, and Gillies, running strongly on the right wing, crossed at che flag and scored between the posts for Boak to add the extra points.
The Old Boys, who were a young team, gave a very creditable performance: they played spirited, and at times clever football, and gave the School a lesson in passing and handling which was badly needed.
The School played hard but were outclassed. Dalziel tackled well and received fair support from Badda and Kreger I, but the halves, Bissett and Grant, v.^ere overshadowed by their opposite numbers. The forwards held their own, but Riley I and Francis v.'ere sadly missed.
The following represented the Old Bovs: J. A. Gibbs, D. I. W. Braide. A. G. Beckton, W. E. Rednath. W. R.' Batten, J. E. Boak, I. Dalziel. R. A. Creer^^ J. Twiss, G. D. Corry. R. Williams, D. Gillies, B. Watt, R. L. Norman, D. B. Gillespie and R. M. Dalziel.
CHARACTERS of the FIRST XV
DALZIEL (Captain and Centre Three-quarter) — Really better suited to the wing position he combined poorly, but his speed and determination made him a most effective player and a consistent scorer. His kick- ing was weak, but he was fearless in face of forwards and his tackling was beyond praise. Captained the side with enthusiasm and set a splendid example by his spirited and courageous play.
BISSETT (Vice-Captain and Scrum Half) — Keen, but was too slow and clumsy and never developed an understanding with his stand-off half. His defensive kicking was useful at times and he possessed a good knowledge of the game. A poor tackle.
27
BR YN- JONES (Full-back) — Lacks experience as yet but has made a very promising start. Handles fairly well but is slow to clear and is none too happy in face of forward rushes. A very vigorous and effective tackle.
PERRAM( Centre Three-quarter) — A promising centre who played the game intelligently and unselfishly. He possessed good hands, a useful "dummy,'" a fair turn of speed, and his tackling has improved con- siderably. Weak in face of forwards with the hall at ther feet, and made little use of his kicking.
GRANT (Stand-off half) — Lacks a sound knowledge of the game but has come on considerably. His handling and passing were very faulty and he had no understanding with his scrum-half. Improved as a tackle, possesses courage and is keen to learn.
BADDA (Wing Three-quarter) — New to the game but is keen and shows promise. A detcnnined runner and a good tackle.
KREGER I (Wing Three-quarter) — Played some useful games and, given enough ground in which to move, is hard to stop. His tackling has improved considerably but in general his play is most inconsistent. He must learn to face forwards and to improve his kicking which is very weak.
MOTHERSILL — A useful forward in the "tight": none too strong in the "loose" and the line out. Has little idea of combination as yet.
ATKINS — A keen and vigorous forward who filled the position of "hook" in a promising manner. Excelled in the "loose" and was a fair tackle. Rather excitable and prone to commit minor infringements.
MORANT — Rather tall for a front-rank man but played fairly well in the "tight". Excellent in the "loose" with the ball at his feet, and was always prominent in any short passing among the pack. His play in the line out and his tackling are still weak. Came on splendidly as an all-round kick and shows real promise in this department.
RILEV I — Played both as a three-quarter and as a forward, and, though hap- pier in the latter position, performed creditably in both. An honest worker both in the "tight" and in the "loose". Combined poorly and was- caught with the ball too often, but his thrust and determination made him a dangerous man near the line. A magnificent tackle.
FRANCIS — A good second row man who applied his weight well in the scrum and used his height to advantage in the line out. A vigorous player he was extremely dangerous near the opposing goal line, but he is still far too prone to commit minor infringements.
VIDLER — A very valuable back row forward. Always on the ball in the "loose" and a tireless worker who played the game with zest and en- thusiasm and never disappointed. A weak tackle as yet and must improve in this important phase of the game.
DUNCAN — An excellent wing forward whose work in the "loose" was of a high order. Always hunting for tries and was extremely dangerous near the opposing line. A weak tackle and must improve in this department.
BENNET — Made an excellent start as a wing forward. Keen, unselfish, and revelled in the game. A magnificent tackle and an extremely promising footballer in every way.

THE CADET CORPS
The following appointments were sanctioned hy the Head- master:
Cadet Captain M. Grant
Cadet Lieutenant R. W. Bissett
Cadet Lieutenant P. Perram
Cadet Company Sgt. -Major ..... McLarty
Cadet Conipany Q. M. S Moilliet
Our activities in this direction were carried on as usual, only in a somewhat modified form. During the war years we endeavoured to follow the official courses laid down by N. D. H. Q., but owing to the excessive in-roads it made on our spare time, the work was drastically curtailed and such items as signalling, knotting, and First Aid were ruled out.
Early in the Xmas term two old members of the School, Bissett and Stephenson I, re-joined us after having put in a year's training with the Regular Army. We benefited greatly from their up-to-date knowledge, Stephenson helping with the P. T. and Bissett with the Shooting.
Our early efforts at Company Drill were seriously hampered by the weather, which seemed to take a delight in turning on a deluge each Wednesday. Of the first 20 Wednesdays of the year only t were fine enough for outside work. As a result our Cadet activii:ies had to be carried on in either the Gym. or in No. 3 Classroom. This might have become tedious in the extreme had it not been for the timely arrival of outside help.
On Nov. 21st we were accorded a practical demonstration of the uses of the "Walkie-Talkie"; this was followed by a motion picture film portraying its uses in the Field, and the dire results that might accrue from its mis-use. Developments in Radar were also shown and in such a way that even the youngest member of the Corps was able to digest the priciples of this latest invention. We extend our ver>' sincere thanks to Sgt. -Major McKinnon who was responsible for this very interesting break in our routine.
On Jan. 16 Lieut. P. Harrison arrived in the nick of time and for an hour extemporized on his experiences while on "Operational Flying". As a lecturer we congratulate him. The information he imparted was of a very practical nature; the serious side of flying was duly stressed and throughout the talk there ran a keen sense of humour. We hope he will visit us again.
Lieut. W. R. Batten, M. C, helped out on another atrociously wet Wednesday. This time we obtained first-hand information on the work of the Armoured Car Division, particulary in the actions that centered around Caen and Falaise. We were not able to eluci- date the occasion during which he won the M. C. but we gather that it was during the fighting in Holland. Heartiest congratulations. Major Ransome, Asst. Cadet Officer for this area, visited us on Feb. 16, bringing with him moving pictures of G. L's in training, the Youth Movement that is being inaugurated in U. S. A. and the
29
various progressive steps that have been made m the World of Science since 1939. This visit, made at no inconsiderable incon- venience, was greatly appreciated by all.
The first 10 days of the Summer term found us \ orking over- time in an effort to achieve that standard of proficic/xy which has now become tradition. In this work Capt. Grant is to be highly com- mended for having brought the Corps successfiiUy through a year that did not lend itself kindly.
By dint of daily practice the Eand under the guidance of the Headmaster and Sgt. Dalziel proved itself to be of inestimable value especially during the latter days of training, when our marching needed much material assistance.
Our Annual Inspection took place on the arcernoon of May 6. For this event we were blessed with perfect weather and an unusually large gathering of parents and guests. These f.ictors undoubtedly helped in bringing our Ceremonial, etc., up to the high standard that we strive to attain. Major Ransome, the Inspecting Officer, seemed definitely satisfied with the work that had been covered during the year and commended all on their fine display. In his few brief v.'ords at the close of the Ceremony, he stressed the fact that the Cadet Corps Training was in no way an inducement for the Youth of the Country to become militar>'-minded or even to instil a preference for things militar>% but that its purpose was to inculcate a spirit of teamwork, and at the same time to exert a degree of discipline, which, although distasteful to most, was beneficial to all. On his recommendation the Headmaster granted a general Leave to all members of the Corps.
As usual we attended Divine Service at St. Luke's Church on the evening of June 16. This Ser\'ice, first held in 1942, was brought into being by the stress and dangers of war; despite the fact that we are now at peace its significance still stands. We are grateful to the Rector for his timely message on that occasion.

A most unfortunate epidemic of "Pink-Eye" during the Easter term played havoc with the shootmg averages of certain members of the Corps. Despite this annoyance, 6 "Possibles" were attained during the course of the year, (the marksmen being Grant, Perram, Vidler, Bissett, Cox and Shipleyll), while on 41 other occasions scores 95 and over were registered.
Two teams of 1 1 each were entered in the D. C. R. A. com- petition, which was fired during Jan., Feb., and Mar. The scores below would indicate that the School still possessed Shots comparable with those of 1942 and that there are others, who with further prac- tice and experience will prove formidable. Unfortunately time did not allow us to enter in other matches.

Those averaging 90% or over in the 3 Shoots will receive their 2nd class medals from Ottawa in due course.
The Harvey Memorial Rifle, for the best shot in the School, and the Breadwood Cup fo'- the best Intermediate were both won by D. Davison, who througoat the year did excellent work.
Our congratulations go to Clifford I on winning the D. C. R. A. Cup. Although of tender years he has represented the School for the past 3 years and is now coming into his own.
The best Junior is undoubtedly Stewart. He has put up some very high scores and we expect him to help us out in the near future.

OLD BOYS NOTES
The Annual Meeting was held at the School on May 16. There was a fair attendance and the following officers were elected: Presi- dent, W. J. R. Speers; Vice-President (Victoria), F. N. Cabeldu: Honorary Secretary, W. R. G. Wenman.
The Old Boys' Annual Dinner was held at the Union Club on June 1st. The Headmaster spoke briefly, and then followed a most interesting talk by Captain W. B. Creery, C. B. E., R. C. N., Officer Commanding Royal Canadian Naval College. Capt. Creery spoke of his experiences while in command of H. M. C. S. Prince Robert with particular reference to the formal surrender of Hong Kong by the Japanese, upon which occasion he had represented Canada. Capt. Creery mentioned a happy meeting with a fellow Old Boy, C. D. D. Stanley, who entertained him royally in Honolulu.
The University School "Incogs" Cricket Club, which had not functioned since 1941, came to life again this year. On the last Saturday in May they proved too strong for the School and won by 54 runs. The side included such ancients as R. L. Challoner, W. J. R. Peers, J. D. Inverarity, W. R. G. Wenman and H. P. H. Holt, and such moderns as J. A. Gibbs, A. M. Cupples, and J. A. Richard- son. A. G. Tisdall, F. G. Skillings and R. H. Tye completed the team. Peers was top scorer with 40, while Tye made 28, showing that a wound and a spell in a German hospital had affected him little.
The Old Boys also proved too strong for the School on the foot' ball field. The side was young, and nine members came from Van- couver and one from Seattle to play. Victoria Old Boys completed the side Which won 18-0. Congratulations to those who participated and made this very worthwhile fixture possible.
Old Boys will be interested to hear that H. B. Renwick has been appointed Traffic and Sales Manager for United Air Lines in Honolulu.
Old Boys of more ancient vintage will be glad to know that D. M. W. Grubb has come back to Victoria as Manager of the Imperial Bank. "Des" has spent most of his banking life in Winni- peg, Edmonton, and in Regina where he was for some time a pro- minent member of the Regina Rough Riders.
32
Among the new honorary aides-de-camp recently appointed by the Governor-General were Capt. W. B. Creery, C. B. E. and Cmdr. K. C. McRae: both represent the Navy.
Brock Whitney has retired from the R. C. A. F. and has as- sumed control of the jewelry business established in Victoria in 1907 by his father, the late Mr. J. M. Whitney.
In the last issue of the "Black and Red" Lieut. W. A. Albert was reported as missing. Word has since been received to the effect that the U. S. War Department have noticed his parents that he is officially presumed dead. Albert was awarded the Air Medal for "meritorious achievement and fearless and unselfish devotion to duty".
The parents of R. M. Wallis who was killed in action Jan. 29, 1945, have received a communication to the effect that their son had been "Posthumously awarded the Operational Wings of the R. C. A. F. in recognition of gallant service in action against the enemy".

PROPOSED xVIEMORIAL
In the War 1914-1918 over 200 Old Boys of University School served with H. M. Forces of whom not less than 67 gave their lives and 2 1 were awarded decorations.
In the War 1939-1945. well over 400 Old Boys are known to have served, of whom at least 40 have paid the supreme sacrifice and 44 decorations, including one V. C.. have been awarded.
The Governors of the School have now definitely decided that this oustanding service and sacrifice made by the Old Boys of the School in both Wars, shall be recognized by the building of an Assembly Hall attached to the main School House building.
It is felt that the erection of such a Memorial will not only be a constant reminder of such service but an acquisition which has become necessary and which will be an inspiration to future generations of boys. The proposal has been heartily endorsed by the Old Boys Association.
The Building will be of brick construction and of a design which will conform to the general outline of the School House and will be erected over the present shower rooms. The lower storey will be used for much needed new locker rooms with direct access to the showers. On the following pages, plans of both upper and lower floors are shown.
A trust Fund was opened last August and up to the present time, a sum of approximately $2,500.00 has been received.
The estimated approximate cost of this Building is $13,000.00, including complete furnishings. It is sincerely hoped that during the coming year, an encouraging number of further contributions will be received in order that a start may be made next summer. Many have already made small contribu- tions and expressed their intention of giving further help from time to time. In this connection it should be remembered that contributions will qualify as Charitable Donations within the meaning of the Income Tax Act.
Any "contribution large or small will be gratefully received. Cheques should be made out to the Headmaster who will personally undertake prompt acknowledgement and issue of the official printed receipt for the purpose of Income Tax.
