'ROUND AND ABOUT THE SCHOOL

Bob Laidlaw was heard to remark in the Common Room recently
that it was worth putting up with the winters (even the last one!) to
experience Spring at St. Andrew's. Most will agree ■ — but winter was
an "unconscionably" long time a-dying — and Spring producing evid-
ence of its perennial existence. HOCKEY teams had a good season. The
Firsts won most of their exhibition games and lost two in the L.B.F. —
one each to U.C.C. and Ridley. The Thirds too won most of their
exhibition games and were top scorers in the L.B.F. Macdonald House
(Under Fifteens — Coach Ives) won all their games. The SKATING
PARTY was a great success. SKIERS had an excellent season — regular
expeditions to hills (and tows!) and many participants. BASKETBALL had
an off season, though the Juniors and Juveniles showed good prospects
in their number of wins. Old Boys beat the School Firsts — score 65-47.
The GYM Team had a good year. Worth mentioning is the number of
Up-and-comings that have been working out regularly. The UPPER
SCHOOL PLAY ("The Caine Mutiny'') was well up to the best tradition
of Andrean dramatics. The PENGUIN CLUB wound up an active year with
Tony Fell ('59) discussing stocks and securities. CRICKETERS have been
able to work out on a rather soggy pitch only a few times before May
first — otherwise they were confined to practising in the gym. TRACK
and FIELD is in full swing. The new track is a great boon to all
concerned. Several weeks ago a relay team placed second (losing by a
split second ) in an invitation meet at Hamilton. TENNIS instruction and
tournaments have been longest under way. The CADET CORPS paraded
to church in Aurora (May first) and looked better than ever. Inspection
is in the immediate offing — Cadet Dance the same night — and a

holiday weekend to follow. THE RIFLE TEAM averaged 95% in the D.C.R.A.
competition. MACDONALD HOUSE NIGHT, with its traditional eclat will
be over when you get this. Jack Wright and his men carry on! The
LOWER SCHOOL PLAY. 'The Bishop Misbehaves" promises to be up
to Ken Ives' usual high standard with the Housemaster again the
ubiquitous stage-assistant! The DEBATING TEAM won most of their
encounters, under Hugh Warburton's guidance. The Philosophy Group
and the Cercle Francois have been meeting regularly. The TREBLES
excelled themselves at the Kiwanis Festival, winning the unreserved
highest commendation of the adjudicator. They won all classes they
entered. John Bradley has done and is doing outstanding work here.
The GLEE CLUB won the unstinted approval of the School at VARIETY
NIGHT where much other talent also proved its worth on stage. The
CAMERA CLUB has been very active and the dark-room well-used. A
photographic competition and exhibition revealed some fine work. EX-
PEDITIONS OFF CAMPUS have been undertaken. Upper Sixthers went
to see the film, "Murder in the Cathedral" and Agatha Christie's, "The
Unexpected Guest", played at the Crest Theatre. The Science Club has
made visits to the plant of the British American Oil Company and to
the chemistry labs at the U. of T. Several Masters are leaving this year.
Al Ramsay is retiring and is hoping to take up residence in Aurora.
Bill Garstang has joined the faculty of McGill University in the Classics
Department. Ben Whitney is joining the staff at Lakefield and Keith
Bonnyman is going to U.C.C. Bob Laidlaw is retiring but will continue
to live at the School. John Del Grande has been recently elected 1960-1
President of the Maths and Physics section of the Ontario Educational
Association. (In passing — The School placed thirtieth in a province-
wide maths competition involving well over two hundred schools. The
LArDLAW TROPHY presented by the Old Boys to honor Bob Laidlaw's
devoted service to the school (1909-60) is to be won by the boy who,
in his Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth years taken together, has won most
points for his Clan. This Clan Competition covers every part of school
life. A NEW TROPHY CASE has been presented to the School by The
Ladies' Guild. Not only does it fill a need but it is also an attractive
addition to Dunlop Hall. It has been installed directly opposite to the
eastern front door of Dunlop Hall — where the glassed partition used
to be. Mrs. Winnett died this spring. Many of you will remember
her many kindnesses to the School as a whole and to innumerable
Andreans individually. Nice to see Harry Davis about — doing a job
on the equipment in the Cricket Shop. The Headmaster should have
some interesting news of Andreans in Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Mexico,
the Bahamas and Jamaica, having just completed a flying good-will tour
of these countries. Things are humming '"round and about the School"
and the year is nearly over — less than six weeks to Prize Day. "A
tout a l'heure" as Monsieur Macfarlane would say! (How's your French?)
Make it sooner — the School would like to see you!
