SELWYN HOUSE scHooL - MAGAZINE-l Yol. S. FOR '1'H1-I SCHOOL Yli.-XR 1935 Y 19341 SCHOOL NOTES ln consequence of the death of our late Sovereign, H. BI. King George Sth, Janu- ary 28th, 1936, was set aside as a day of mourning, there being no School on that day. Pk ik 21 Following the death of Mr. Christie, to which reference is made elsewhere in this issue, Mr. Charles 1.ineaweaver, a graduate of Princeton Cniversity, l'.S..-X., joined the Staff temporarily, leaving us at the end of the Christmas term, 1935. We wish him all good luck for the future. We received from Mr. J. R. Pattisson, who left us in 193-1, a copy of the hrst Maga- zine of the School of which he is now Headmaster 1.-Xvondale, Clifton, ling. 1. We were glad to note that his School had won the Clifton Preparatory Schools Sports Champion- ship in 1935. Eric MCCuaig joined Mr. Pattisson's School in September, 1935, whilst his brother, Ian, went to Clifton College, UYiseman's Housed, at the same time. The latter has been moved up two forms, and played football for his House A team. At the beginning of the Faster term we welcomed Mr. B.K.'I'. Howis, who came to us from Avondale, Clifton, ling., where he had been assisting blr. Pattisson. blr. Howis was previously a Master at Ashbury College, Ottawa, from 1929 till 1935. 111 if The thanks of the Headmaster and the whole School are due to Mr. and Mrs. 1Ya1ter Molson for the gift of an oak bookcase, surmounted by a hand-carved crest of the School. This handsome piece of useful furniture stands in the hall on the middle floor, and will hold approximately 250 books. An illustration appears opposite.

Our best thanks are due to all who have so kindly contributed to the Magazine, and to those whose contributions have been crowded out for lack of space. Visit tn the ark Salim On NYednesday Feb. llth. Mr. NVanstall gave the Senior School a half holiday in order to pay a mass visit to the Park Slide on the mountain. The afternoon was very blustery, and on arrival there it was found that snow had drifted on to the shoots, and the Club officials decided that conditions were unsuitable. :Xfter an hours skiing therefore, the party gathered in the Club House for hot cocoa and an excellent tea which was most generously provided by the Club itselr. The following week, however, the weatherman was kinder to us. The shoots were fast and in excellent condition, and the large number of toboggans lined up for our use enabled everybody to have all the runs they wanted. The afternoon again ended with tea in the Club House. A most enjoyable outing for which we are all indebted to the generosity of Mr. lYanstall. l3l FOR THF.

C., Form IV. 151 SI-',I.WI'N llOl'Sl-I SCHOOL NIAGAZINI-1 OBITUARY It is with the deepest regret that we have to announce the fol- lowing deaths during the course of the past year: ae Douglas William Christie, who died suddenly on September 28th. 1935, at the age of 68, had been a Master at the School for the past fifteen years. Born in England, Mr. Christie came of a family distinguished in the educational field and in service to the Empire. Ilis father was the late Professor R. II. Christie, of Woolwich, and one of his uncles, Sir William Christie, was Astronomer Royal of Great Britain, whilst his brothers and many other relatives have done noteworthy work in the Army and Civil Services in India and elsewhere. Educated at Fettes. Scotland, and afterwards at Hanover Uni- versity, Germany, he took up business, which later he abandoned for the career of a Schoolmaster. Ile was a man of wide and sympathetic interests, but his favourite studies were the Classics and llistoryg in the latter he was unusually well-read, and of sound judgement. Injured in a carriage accident before he came to Canada, he could not actively take part in the boys' games, but he always took a keen interest in them, and for a time shared the supervision, with sympathy, encouragement, and discretion. His excellent work as Starter at the School Sports will be remembered by many, as will his cheery companionship on horseback. Only last Au- gust Mr. Christie returned from a tour in England, where he had con- ducted a party of boys under the auspices of the National Council of Education. One of the old school , always forthright in life and speech, a model of punctuality, utterly devoid of cant and hypocrisy. Mr. Christie will be sadly missed by boys and Staff alike. Ile is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. J. Baillie, wife of the Assistant Headmaster of Lower Canada College, and one son, Douglas Gerald Christie, who served with the Gunners during the Great War, now resident in England. llis funeral was attended by all members of the Staff and a very large number of boys, parents, and Old Boys. It is also with much sorrow that we have to record the death of Douglas McMaster, who died in September, 1935, in his twelfth year. Douglas was a boy of the highest character, a great little sports- man. with a host of friends, much loved by all. llis passing came as great shock to the School. In his memory his parents have presented a Challenge Cup which will be awarded annually to the boy who is adjudged to be the best all-round sportsman in the School. The cup will be kept in the School, and a miniature will be given to the winner each year. In addition, Mr. and Mrs. McMaster have set aside a sum of money for the purpose of purchasing books for the School Library. These will serve as a per- petual reminder to us of Douglas and his lovable character. To the near relatives of the above, and to those of Stuart Ebbit, 0.S., who lost his life in an unfortunate accident in September, 1935, we extend our heartfelt sympathy. I'-l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1935-1936 Glbe Jfarzhaell C7716-fll716l'Il! of Hi: late ilIf1je.vf'v King George 5111.5 During the evening of Blonday, January 20th, the sad news arrived that the life of the King is drawing peacefully to a close . On the following Wlednesday all the boys of Wellington College assembled in the Dining Hall to hear the broadcast of the Proclama- tion in London of His Majesty King Edward 8th, In the afternoon, on parade, it was announced that the Wellington College Contin- gent of the Oliicers' Training Corps had been chosen to line part of the route of the funeral procession at Windsor. Wellington, the leading military Public School, also had the same honour at the funeral of King Edward 7th. To be privileged like this, a second time, thrilled us tremendously. After one or two extra parades to learn the special funeral movements of riiie and position, a party of 300 was picked for the occasion, and I was fortunate to be amongst them. Tuesday, January 28th arrived. His late Majesty left London for the lust time. All that was seen by the public has been described by the newspapers. But we, as Cadets, guarding the late King on his last journey, and protecting the new King on this sorrowful one, felt something more, something so line that it had to be experienced to be realized. W'e fell in at half past nine, and moved off to embus for Windsor. The weather seemed to tit the occasion. :Xt times it rained, and mourned the loss of King George: at others the sun shone through to welcome King Edward. We arrived at Windsor during a heavy shower, and marched to our section, about 200 yards long on either side of the road between Cambridge Gate and the George -lth Gateway of the Castle proper. The procession arrived at Windsor about halt' an hour late on account of the un- expectedly large crowds which had come to pay their respects. :Xt about quarter past one an officer of the Headquarter Staff, leading the procession, rounded the corner at Cam- bridge Lodge. W'e were perhaps a little nervous in anticipation. By companies, we were called to attention and ordered to slope arms U. By platoons we were given the command: Rest on your arms reversed , which implies standing with the rifle upside down, muzzle on the left foot, hands on the butt, and with head bowed. The first divisions of the escort passed: then c. me the foreign and home Naval, Army, and Royal Air Force representatives, the Chaplains, Aides-de-Camp, and Royal Household officials, whom we could not see very well because of our bowed heads. Then we were brought to the Present arms . The gun carriage, magnificent in its simplicity, approached and passed, to the accompaniment of the mournful strains of the bands: a King had gone for ever. The new King followed on. King George, the faithful, had nearly reached his journeyls end. After them followed the Royal Dukes, and foreign Royalties, and then the Queen's carriage. There was a quiet dignity about it all that can only be witnessed in the British Empire. :X truly sorrowful crowd, with remarkable self-restraint. So took place the epilogue of a wonderful period of 26 years. We returned to Wellington to a new era, the reign of King Edward Sth. God save the King. H. D. S., CO.S.j l7l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE The jllflnhzrn Brass fDoes the Newspaper of today do more good than harm FJ fThe Angus Murray Prize for Ifnglish Literature, 19350 Yes! a thousand times. But had the proposition read simply, Does the news- paper of today do tremendous harm ? , the answer would still be, a thousand times, yes I The press is the voice of today, the herald of tomorrow. It tells the stories of peace and war alike. It is the tireless clarion of news. It is knowledge, light, and power, but above all, power. It is the record of all things mankind is accomplishing, or would accomplish. It is our limitless source of information f and of lies. It can stir the pulse of nations, make heroes of ordinary men, and soldiers die: or it can infiame a mob and lash it to brutality or revolution. It can arouse distrust and fear towards the heads of govern- ments, stir up strife among the labouring classes, impede the ways of-iustice and of com- merce, protect crime, defend law-breakers, and breed misery and unrest- all these for selfish reasons. Or it can inspire to deeds of nobility, or sacrifice, instil courageinto the lives of weary midnight toilers, and be the pioneer of freedom and of progress. In a word, it is kzzotcfedge, and therefore if ix power. For it is a truth that there is no limit to the harm which the press can achieve, nevertheless, even under the worst conditions, the conclusion remains unchanged, the press does more good than harm. In some countries such as Germany, Russia, and Italy,the press is controlled, and the people are told only what their leaders want them to hear. In other countries the press is free and the people are told what they themselves want to hear, as in some sections of the United States, and it has a tendency to cater to, and therefore encourage, the frivol- ous and trivial, or even the sordid and depraved side of human nature. But the weakness of the former system is beyond dispute. Where there is no freedom of the press, no truth can be possible, no confidence. There can be no natural vent to the feelings, no healthy interchange of ideas and ideals, no mutual knowledge of the temper of the people, no free- dom. Better a thousand times that the freedom of the press be zzbzzred, than that it should be .fII10ff1t'7't'I1l, robbing the nation of its liberty, and destroying initiative and progress. There are countless instances of the disastrous results of censorship of the press. The earliest one is notable. Not many years after printing was first introduced into England, the government became alarmed on account of the vast increase of knowledge and information at the disposal of the people. Therefore in 1530 it established a strict censorship of the press. This censorship lasted over a hundred and fifty years, and it was not until 169-I that the press was allowed to carry on where it had left off. Btfore this time printing almost be- came a lost art as the censorship was so strict. .-Ks an instance of the press giving the people what they want, one need only pick up one of the New York papers, such as the New York Daily News I-Iere, on the front page in big black headlines we read: til Giants lose to Dodgers. fiij YYoman Bandit holds up Three Men at Point of Gun. Ciiij Jazz King snubs one of N.Y's 400. Qivl Heiress to NYoolworth Millions starts Honeymoon with New husband: and so on. In sharp con- trast compare one ofthe Russian dailies, The Evening Moscow . In this paper there ISI FOR THE SCHOOL YE.-KR 1935-1936 are few, if any, big headlines, but in one section we read that some deaf and dumb people have clubbed together and bought a tank for the army, in another we see that some girls have qualified in a machine shop to supervise the automatic lathe, in others we see that new municipal sand-piles are going up for children, that the Russian women parachutists have been achieving great things, that a reward has been offered for the best architectural design for some new building. Each of these newspapers reflects a different civilization. In the former the unpleasant aspect of a too free country, and in the latter, the smooth and pleas- ing surface that cleverly conceals the steel shackles of a censored press, a press that shouts freedom and liberty to a people that are ensnared in a closer prison than ever the middle ages boasted, whose hands and feet are bound and whose children do not belong to the mothers but to the country itself, and to whom religion is denied. There is another thought which ought not to be overlooked, and that is the subject of advertising. In any local newspaper one would find these advertisements as the most common: Sure cure for bald-headed meng rub salve into pores three times a day , or Lose ten pounds a week, no tiresome dietg just take one good dose after each meal, and watch the fat melt Everybody knows it won't, but they buy it and use it three times a day. The 11df.'e1'li.vi11g !Zg'E?1t'iF.V rezzliv 01621 the AlU'6.f.V, and someone, somewhere, should interfere, a stronger powerg but is there any power as strong F We need only turn back the pages of history, back to the so-called dark ages, and note the conditions throughout Europe in the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. Practically speaking there was no art or literature. The ignorance of the masses was so profound that it threw its shadow across all the aspects of life. Their religion was steeped in superstition, and what knowledge they had was only such as was handed down by word of mouth from father to son. Then suddenly out of the sombre and ignorant background, a young printer named Gutenberg, a native of Germany, gave the world its first printing press. And in H55 the first books were published by this press. Previous to this time the monks were the sole tutors of Europe, but with the in- venting of the printing press, and the spreading of printed books and pamphlets throughout the continent, two great movements were set afoot, namelyf the Rqformtztion and the Rfzztziufzrzre. These have had unimagined, unlimited influences on the entire civilization of the world up to the present day. In a word, the irzzwztiorz of the printing prime, the mother of our modern newspaper, fjfrd Europe out of the dark agar. Books made men think- made them rub their eyes, and dimly feel the loveliness of Greek and Roman art, and of literature. It is a long reach downward from this lofty classic height to our news press of today, yet it is the direct descendant. .-Xnd though it is so full of ugliness and weakness, yet it has strength and beauty, for it is Life. It records the ebb and How of the tides of human progress, the incredible meanness of man, and his magnificent courage, the golden thread of Ideals, the sordid dross of Lifeg Inventions, Art, Music, hatreds, losses, and loves. - In short, Netc.r- Knowledge .' And so, it is good. Without it we would once more be steeped in Ignorance. And Ignorance, as Confucius put it, is Night without A141011 or Starr. W.

The Troop celebrated King Georges -Iuhilee on May nth, at Fletchers Field, where, in company with other troops of Montreal district, the colours were dipped as the Troop paraded past the reviewing stand. On Nlay I-lth. the Troop attended the annual Scout Rally at the lforum. The rally was honoured hy the presence of the Chief Scout, l-ord Baden-Powell. A squad of scouts from our Troop demonstrated the Signaller's Badge, and another group of our scouts put on a compass marching drill. The eagerly awaited appearance of the Chief Scout in Montreal was a source of great pleasure and inspiration to the Troop, as it was to all scouts in the city. r I l F . 'vn- X Patrol Leaders Johnson, Hodge, and P. Mackenzie were invested as members of the Sphinx Patrol on May 28th. The annual scout half-holiday took place on June llth., on the mountain. Patrol relay races, and a game of prisoners' base extending over a wide area of the mountain, were held. Following this, the Troop regaled itself with quantities of ice-cream, sandwiches and other comestibles. l ll l SI-ILWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAG.-XZTNE .1'iC'fl7'lf.f.f07' 1934 l935: The Philip Mackenzie Cup, for Inter-patrol Competition: Buffalo Patrol: Patrol Leader Hodge, winners in the senior half of the Troop.

During rhe autumn particular attention was paid to cooking on the mountain, as cooking tests may only be passed outdoors. Ind Class scouts completed their lst Class cooking tests, while tenderfoot scouts and recruits passed their Ind Class cooking. i On Armistice Day the Troop assembled in Hollow Square formation in front of the School. The Colours were lowered during the playing of the Last Post by a bugler from the Black XYatch Regiment, and the two minute silence was observed by the Troop with bowed heads. XYhen colder weather arrived, Troop activities were transferred to Scout Head- quarters. In addition to the regular scout tests and games, much work was done on the construction of trestles and towers with staves and lashings, and competitions were held in setting up model camp sites. :Xt the kind invitation ofthe Montreal High School Troop, we entered a team which worthily represented us in a swimming meet held in the High School tank on Nov. 29th, for troops of Montreal Central District. This year we are again most grateful to the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul for its generous permission to use Kildonan Hall for our meetings during the pre-Christmas period, when the hall at Headquarters is occupied by the Scout Toy Shop. Our older llll FOR THE SCHOOL YE.-XR 1935-1936 scouts participated in the work of Montreal Troops at the Toy Shop, repairing and paint' ing toys for the children of needy families.

We were invited by the Troop or the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul to play a hockey game with them on Feb. 4th, In a closely contested match, they won by a score of 5 - 3. The annual Patrol Leaders' Banquet was held at the Windsor Hotel on Feb. 22nd, We enjoyed an excellent talk by Principal Morgan ofMcGill, and an entertaining series of skits by scouts of various Troops. The Troop photograph was taken at H.Q. on March oth. The annual ski week-end took place at St. Blarguerite on March 7th and Sth. Leav- ing Montreal early Saturday morning, we arrived in time for a short ski run before lunch at the Alpine Inn. That afternoon we ski-ed to the estate of Mr. .-LB. Purvis for our ski jumping com- petitions. Several leaps of over thirty feet were made by the Seniors, and many ofthe U31 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL BI.-XG.-XZINE Juniors showed excellent form. After the jumping, refreshments were provided by Mr. and hlrs. Purvis, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude for their generous hospitality. ln the evening, at the lnn, we played a stirring series of games. which were won by ll. Cleveland's team. Then to hed, for a well-earned rest. Next morning we ski-jored to the Chalet Cochand, and held down-hill races for juniors and Seniors on the steep and twisting Chalet trail. We ski-iored back to the Inn for a hearty lunch. Junior and Senior slalom competitions took place in the afternoon, on Hill 60, where the snow provided very fast skiing. Then, after an early supper at the Inn, we took the train hack to Montreal, with a line week-end of ski-ing to look back upon. Medals for combined points in Jumping, Slalom and Downhill, go to the following Scouts: -h't'11i07'.Y.' li. Porter llstl, Ci. XYinters Klndl, and R. Hastings lflrd l. :7m1i0r.f: B. Fleming llstl, NY.

From our new Patron, King Fdward Ylll, who has always been a staunch worker for the Scouts, and who, when Prince Edward, was Chief Scout for XYales, we confidently look forward to continued in- valuable assistance. S G Hkff Russel In the Montreal Daily Herald of November 8th, 1935, there was a reference to the fighting qualities of Foran's football team, which in spite of many lost games and hard luck never lost heart. The writer said: - lt seems like the re-born spirit of the late jeff Russel. His was the fate always to play on a losing team. But game after game Jeff Russel was in there hurling his sinewy form into every play. He was an inspiration to other Montreal teams of a later day which fought hard e- but lost. The Jeff Russel mentioned here was a Selwyn House boy, always remarkable for his courage, good-tempered courtesy, and sportsmanship. His early death cut short a career of real promise. It is in his memory, and to encourage the qualities referred to above, that his relations offer annually what we know as the jeffrey Russel Prize . The Montreal Football Club nominates a player each year for the Jeff Russel Me- morial Cup, symbol of clean sportsmanship. -af.. sfo U41 FOR THF SCHOOL YFAR 1935 NRM l1XIvl.lSH IUIR, IVA: In the group may he seen the late Xlr, Christie, l'.'l'.

Q trip to Qlfnglanh On june 29th, 1935, those of us who made up the first Canadian Preparatory School! boys' Tour to lingland set sail on the Canadian Pacific Steamship lfmpress of Britain from Quebec Owing to had weather and three days fog, we did not arrive at Southampton until 9 p.m. on the following lfridav, july Sth. We got through the Customs safelyfe they didn't open one bag H and stepped at once into compartments in the train, specially reserved for us. We arrived in London at 1,30 in the morning, so did not get into bed until 3 o'clocli. We slept in the next morning, and later attended a lvig luncheon held in the large sittingfroom of the Leicester Court Hotel, where we had slept during the night, or perhaps I should say, morning. Here we met various Headmasters or Masters, repre- sentatives from the various Schools at which we were destined to spend ten davs. Several speeches were made, including one by Nlr. Ashley Cooper, of the Hudson's Bay Company. We were then paired off to go to the lrlnglish Schools, and left the same afternoon. W'e spent ten delightful days at these Schools, during which visits were made to places of interest ff not included in the Tour - under the guidance ofa Master. On the Saturday before the Naval Review twhich was held at Spithead on the following luesdayl we all ll5l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE met at Portsmouth Dock, and walked a mile in the sweltering heat of the Docks, before we boarded the ship on which we took the same course around the fleet as the King was dest- ined to take in the Royal yacht in the actual review. What a sight those ships were! Submarines, destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers, all lined up l It made you proud to feel that you were a Britisher. We then returned to London, and spent two full weeks during which we visited Westminster Abbey, the Parliament Buildings, Harrod's, the Kensington Museum, Port of London, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the British Museum. W'e saw the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, and King George Y passed within a few feet of us, whilst we gave him three hearty cheers. W'e were standing right inside the gates of the Palace, next to the Palace walls. Immediately following this, we were shown round St. James' Palace. We also visited a host of other Museums and places of interest, including a performance at the Strand Theatre of 1066 and All That . W'e were free every evening, and the older boys were able to go to movies and do anything within reason, provided that they had received permission from one of the Masters, and were back in the Hotel by a certain hour. Later we visited Stratford-on-Avon, and saw everything of interest connected with W'illiam Shakespeare. W'e later went down to lriastbourne by 'bus, seeing W'inchester and its Cathedral en route. At Fastbourne we spent eight days playing tennis and cricket, and swimming. We saw two cricket matches on the Hove ground, where Sussex played Derbyshire and Middlesex. We also walked up and down the sea front, had ices, and a thoroughly delightful time l .-X visit was made, too, to the famous Beachy Head Light- house. On August 10th we set sail from Southampton on the Empress , and after an uneventful voyage, apart from seeing, in one day, about thirty or more icebergs, we landed at Quebec, on home soil. It had been a wonderful trip, but we were all glad to be home again. P. T. M.

A H., Form VI. llfvl FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1955 - 1936 Szigniurp Qliluh At 8 o'clock on Saturday morning, February 8th, 1936, all Selwyn House boys wishing to go to The Seigniory Club gathered at the Windsor Station under the care of hlr. W'anstall, Mr. Greenlees, and Mr. Wiseman. After depositing skis and bags on two trucks placed there for them, many boys went up to the news-stand to procure reading matter for the train. The boys took their seats, while the seniors heaved skis and bag- gage. The train eventually left at 8.15 AAI., and nothing of interest happened until the train reached Montebello. There were one or two dog-sleighs at the station, and many of the boys expressed a wish to travel that way to the club. However, three ordinary sleighs took us there. The skis were placed in the snow outside, and the bags just inside the door. We collected our bags and went to our rooms on the first and second floors. Then we went out to untie our skis, and look round before lunch. The boys were considerably pleased with the orchestra that accompanied their dinner, and they clapped heartily after each piece. After lunch the Senior and junior slaloms were held on the 6th fairway, the juniors being under 12, and the seniors over 12 years. Wlhile the junior slalom was being held many Senior boys skated on the club rink. Eventually tive o'clock came, and all the boys went over to the toboggan slide, which was very fast, and could be made in between ten and fourteen seconds by a heavy couple on a good toboggan. After this came supper, and again the boys enjoyed the music with their meal. When supper was over we donned our warm clothes and drove in sleighs to the village where a very close hockey game took place. Five minutes overtime had to be played because of the even score. When we got back to the Club, everybody wanted to know who had scored the first goal in the Maroon-Canadian hockey game. But nobody knew. So we went to bed. In the morning telephones rang in all our rooms to awaken us, but I doubt if they were needed. We had our breakfast, and then were told that as there was a lot of snow falling, we could not go to Valley Farm. So the junior and Senior downhills were held on the Sth and 6th fairways. These were very good runs, apart from being a quarter of the way uphill, or over cross-country. Then we ski-ed back to the club for lunch. After that we ski-ed over to the two jumps on the 6th fairway, and one spectacular jump of 32 feet was made without a fall. When the jumping was over we went back to the club where we were given tea, and the prizes were donated, two boys being awarded a free membership to the Seigniory Club,4which means they can enter any competi- tions. Then we drove to the station in sleighs, and were very sorry that the week-end was over. M. L., Form VI. ll7l SFLWYN HOUSI-1 SCHOOL XXI.-XGAZINE lautn tu became pnpular at Bnarbing School Quite a number of you boys at Selwyn House are now wondering what boarding school you will go to, and what it will be like when you get there. I have ventured to set down here a few modest rules as to how a Gentleman and a graduate of Selwyn House should conduct himself when he enters his future academy of learning. The most important thing when you first hit boarding school is to remember that you are not only Somebody, but liverybody. l3on't by any means get the idea that just because it is your lirst night at a big, new school it might be prudent to hold yourself a little in the background. Not at alll This isnlt the idea. Push yourself forward! If need he push yourself right into your Housemaster's sitting room where he is probably entertaining a few friends. l can guarantee this will make a lasting impression on him: he will be sure to remember you for it afterwards. Also, don't let the fact that everybody knows everybody else, and nobody knows you, worry you at all. The speediest way to rectify this is to find the biggest, oldest and most heavily moustached boy in the room, stand on a chair beside him, and unexpectedly clout him on the back at the same time shouting out Hi, Toots l No matter how busily engaged he is in conversation he will undoubtedly bestow upon you his immediate attention. lf his back happens to be sunburned and in blisters after the summer holidays, his interest in your future will be trebled. Thus you will have made your first real Friend. CNot counting the House masteizb Another good way of gaining favour when you first arrive is by giving your Prin- cipal a nice box of cigars or a movie magazine or even a tooth-brushfjust some small article as a sign that you realize he is there, and appreciate his worth. WN'hen it comes to the question of fagging you must show your individuality. You must Hatly refuse to fag. This may cause some slight unpleasantness among the older boys but it will indubitably establish you as a leader among the younger set. Also remember that if the prefects do start anything, you can always run to your friend the Housemaster. You will be told never to leave the school grounds without special permission: this doesn't mean a thing. Skip over to the nearest movie for the afternoon, or if there isn't one, go to a cock-iight or a bull-tight or anything else. When you are questioned about it later, just laugh it oil. They will like you for your sang-froid. Remember to learn a lot of good jokes before you go to your boarding school so that you can tell them at meals. The older boys will simply love to hear them. If you follow out these instructions carefully you will be sure to have a happy time at boarding school, and will get along well with the boys and, moreover, will leave a fond memory behind you when you matriculate. tOr get expelled.J STEPHEN Leacoek, tS.H.S., 1925-1933.1 l T3 l TNR llll' SLTTUUT, TTKR l .-7 l . f Kll'Rl'l3 XX, RUSS XII-NIURHI.

On the moun- tain the trees were bent with the heavy snow, and the ground, as far as you could see, was clean and white. The sun was shining and all the world was glittering. There were other people skiing besides myself who seemed to be enjoying it too. I had my dog with llll FOR THE SCHOOL YE.-XR 1935-1936 me, a Springer Spaniel puppy, who loves to race about and is a very good runner. Some- times I couldn't keep up with him, so then he sat down to wait until I was in sight, when OTT he went again at full speed. :Xt last when I was tired and breathless I skied over to watch the skiers taking the larger hills, but the puppy was a nuisance because he insisted upon running down behind them, so I had to take him away where things were less ex- citing for him. The sun had gone down bv the time I reached home, and in the dusk I failed to see my brother who was waiting for me with a large supply of snow balls. There followed a battle. As a result we were covered with snow from top to toe, but it was worth it. T. S., Form I. lla Sainteflitiznne en Zlanngrie Si vous me le permettez, -ie vous raconterai la plus grande fete nationale hongroise: la Saint-Etienne. Tout d'abord, je vous donnerai une breve description de notre arrivee dans la belle capitale de Bude-Pesth. Nous sommes arrives, le 19 .lout 1934, venant de Yienne, sur un bateau du Danube. En descendant le Heuve, les villes jumelles de Pesth et de Bude nous presentaient un spec- tacle que je m'en vais tenter de vous decrire: sur la rive gauche tc'est-a-dire a l'estJ est situee Pesth, la cite, lf die Industriestadt D, pendant que sur l'autre rive, se trouve Bude, ff die Residenzstadt D, batie sur des collines innombrables, avec sa citadelle qui domine toute la scene et qui est construite sur la plus haute colline, au sud. Sur les collines de Bude s'elevent plusieurs beaux ediiices: le Palais Royal, le Bastion des Pe- cheurs, l'eglise du couronnement, le monument Saint Gerard et autres. Lors de notre arrivee, il faisait deja noir et tous ces monuments de meme que le palais du Parlement etaient illumines pour les fetes de la semaine. , b Cette grande fete de la nation hongroise, la Saint-Etienne Q20 aoutj, permet at tout le peuple hongrois de se rencontrer, pendant la semaine solennelle du I5 au 20 aout, at Bude-Pesth, cteur et capitale de la I-Iongrie. Les provinciaux hongrois viennent visiter la capitale dans les nobles et pittoresques costumes des ditlerentes regions du pays pour rendre hommage a la memoire du premier roi de I-Iongrie et pour jouir des charmes de la capitale hongroise, devenue, en peu de temps, une grande metropole. Ce rendez-vous general reunit chaque annee les hongrois et il est evident que la fare nationale depasse de nos jours les modestes limites d'une fete de famille pour le peuple hongrois qui, avant la guerre mondiale, n'etait qu'une partie d'une grande monarchie et qui a subi, peut-etre de ce fait, des pertes plus lourdes que toutes les nations avant parti- cipe a la guerre, I Les ceremonies profanes de la semaine de la Saint-Etienne commencaient cette annee, le 1-I aout. Chaque soir du 1-L au 21 aout, on donnait au Theatre Municipal des representations de scenes populaires, tt Gyongyos Bokreta mi tee qui signilie ct Bouquet de Perles Dj. Ces scenes rustiques representees par des paysans et des paysannes de la campagne hongroise, ont deja acquis une reputation mondiale. Ces pieces rustiques sont l'image du peuple hongrois, tel qu'il se voit dans le miroir de ses arts multiples dans ses belles danses anciennes, ses usages antiques, ses costumes riches et originaux et de ses l23l SKLWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE chants populaires. Les representations de la piece rustique le 44 Bouquet de Perlesv nous montrent le village hongrois rendant visite at la capitale et realisant par la-meme cette unite hongroise qui fut le but supreme de la politique de Saint-Etienne, premier roi de Hongrie. I.e I9 aout, il y eut une fete nautique et des canots ornes de fleurs paraderent sur le Danube qui deploie Bude-Pestli plus de eharmes et ajoute plus aux beautes du paysage qu'en aucune des autres cites riveraines. Il 5' eut aussi des Concours athletiques entre l'ltalie et la Hongrie, des courses d'aviron sur le Danube, des courses de chevaux et autres activites sportives. La nuit de la Saint-Etienne est celelwree par un feu dlartiliees traditionnel qui eclaire la ville de sa feerie resplendissante. Mais les fetes atteignent leur point culminant quand la procession religieuse quitte le 20 llllflf, de grand matin, le Chateau Royal de Bugle et passe at travers des vieilles rues cle Vaneienne ville, portant solennellement, dans un reliquaire d'or, la Main Droite Sacree, relique miraculeusement eonservee du premier roi de Hongrie. Toute la Hongrie omcielle prend part 51 cette procession dont les vieux et magniiiques costumes evoquent les mille annees de passe glorieux. On peut aussi voir parmi les rangs presses de la procession la bourgeoisie et la paysannerie hongroises. Une place predominante est naturellement reservee a l'eglise catholique dont la Saint-liltienne est une des fetes les plus remarqunbles et dont le saint roi lui-meme, qui n'est pas un personnage mythique se perdant tlais les brumes des Sagas prehistoriques, mais qui fut couronne par le Pape Sylvestre ll apres avoir repousse les paiens cle l'Europe orientale en l'an mille, fut un des plus ardents soutiens.

M. L., Form VI. l 34 l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1955-1936 The Cincbanteh wunhlanhs In a distant country stood an immense wood, standing far from human life. It was an immense and unimaginable wood, divided into three parts by two rivers, which flowed gently along, shining and beautiful. And there in that enchanted wood, Wihere every kind of beauty stood, Where every sort of flower grew, Where birds of lovely colours Hew, Where trickled little silvery brooks, Filled with fishes, not with hooks, Was nature, which no man had seen, Where human life had never been. And in this Heaven rabbits ran, lintroubled by the fear of man, Because no human foot had trod fpon this green enchanted sod. In the middle of this wood stood a tiny house, hidden by the huge trees which sur-- rounded it, and made to look as gold by the straying Sunbeam which reached it through the velvet green foliage. From this house drifted voices raised in singing, and the play- ing of music. For in this house there floated to and fro the spirits of the dead, And although they were not able to be seen, they made themselves felt in a magical way which no man has witnessed. Why weren't they able to be seen F Because there were no dead. And in this house also were hidden the joy, grief, happiness, and wickedness of the world. Then we will continue to the far side of the wood, where there stood a large man- sion, in which the souls of those who are about to be born dance and sing in merriment. YVhy do these people play and laugh 3 Because when they reach the world they will work and cry. Yet they will eventually leave it, and happily return to the enchanted wood. ln another part of this enchanted wood is the hidden entrance to Hell where go those who do evil to their brothers, and there, in Haines, they toil and work in grief and agony, until, after they have expiated their crime, they are let out, to run away and hide themselves. ln yet another part of the wood is a large cavern, filled with weeping souls, who cry and tear their hair. For this is the place where come those who commit suicide. Why do they cry F Because they wish they had stayed on the earth. But undoubtedly more strife would have been their lot, if they had. And in the last corner of this wood stands a huge golden palace, which glitters in the sun. Its spires reach almost as high as the enormous trees. And in that palace the souls of heroes, who died for their country, dance and sing in laughter and delight. For these people deserve the most. Can you wonder that the wood is enchanted F l 25 l SIQLWYN HOUSE SCHOOL M.-KGAZINE lt is weird to think that those tall trees cover mystery and hidden secrets. But as soon as a person sets his foot inside these woods the wonders are sure to disappear. For anywhere that man sets foot is cursed, because he cuts down trees, fills the wood with smoke from a fire in the winter, and utterly destroys everything. So please don't tell about this, lest anyone should go there l M. l,., lform 6. Qliamp life among lakes anh tnunhs What a pleasure to wake up early on a sunny June morning, and to come out ofa small tent, axe in hand, refreshed and ready to cut firewood l How delightful to feel the cool breeze, and to hear the countless birds, each singing his own song l The wind rustlirg in the trees, the babbling of the brooks, all make one feel happy, I think that a scene like this could not be more adequately described than by this quotation from Lowell's Vision of Sir l.aunfal: .ind tclnzf is .ro nm' tl.f zz da-v in funn' ?

Soon afterwards, in November, when the hunting season has begun, the trapper, revolver in his pocket, goes, after breakfast, to visit and reset his traps, the hunter, rifle at the ready, follows the trails of the moose, bear, and deer, while the fisherman goes to fish in a nearby lake. At noon they all return, the hunter staggering under the weight of a big buck, the trapper loaded with muskrats, perhaps a few minks, even a fox, and the iisherman carrying a string of fish which would make even a vegetarian's mouth water when cooked. After lunch a rest in a hammock refreshes everyone before returning to their various occupations. As the sun begins to set they come back, the fisherman to relate his struggle with 4' that magnificent three-pounder, the hunter to tell how he shot the lynx, and the trapper to exhibit the silver fox which he found in one of his traps on the way back to camp. After supper everyone turns in, unanimously agreeing that the camper s care- free existence cannot be equalled in any other walk ot life whatsoever. In fact, who would not like to leave the noise and bustle of the city, and, equipped with tent and camp bed, gun, axe, rod, and traps, supplies and cooking utensils, and a good canoe, betake himself to one of the numerous lakes and woods of northern Canada, to lead an open air life of this nature F V.

The idea was taken up enthusiastically by the whole school, and competition has been keen to win the privilege of wearing the distinctive black tie with the zigzag yellow stripe. But it must never be forgotten that to win A' colours is not the sole object of athf letic ambition. Colours are awarded for successful participation in, and co-operation with, a team, rather than for displays of individual brilliance. Careful checking, close marking,and accurate passing are the most important elements in a team's success, for without them the ultimate aim of scoring cannot be achieved. Colours are the out- ward and visible sign of success at playing your allotted part with skill, determination, and unseltishness. XML. l1.XR. l37l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAG.-KZ1NE Cdlritket 1935 Played 6 - YYon 3 - 1.ost 2 M Drawn 1. A With seven of last year's players left the cricket team had a very successful season. Their success was in a large measure due to john Hodge H933-34-351, who again captained the side. His steady batting and bowling, fine fielding and skilful handling of the team showed him to be already a Cricketer of experience with great promise for the future. 7. Pwzcock L1933-3-1-351 was the outstanding batting success, topping the averages for the season with 22.-1. A quick scorer all round the wicket, he never failed to attack the bowling with zest. His medium fast bowling was steady and accurate and was the mainstay of the attack. P. T. .lloffon H93-1-355 was the most persistent batsman o.i the side, and was in- valuable in a crisis. .-X medium pace bowler with a good length, and brilliant in the field. L. Touzfizavozz Q193-17351. Kept wicket splendidly all season, reliable and very quick, and accounted for many wickets. .-X hard hitting batsman with a good eye for the loose balls. P. .llfzfkflltje 1193-1-351. :X forceful batsman with a good eye but lacking in de- fensive strokes. Change bowler with a useful slow leg break. J. illzzger 1193-1-351. Very keen on the game and a promising batsman, but seemed unable to make the best of his abilities in matches. Good in the field. N. NIc'iL'1lI'f 1193-1-351. Sutfered with the others in the bottom half of the batting list in having few opportunities to show his worth. :X steady batsman and very good in the lield. H. JI. B1n'gf'.v.v L19351. Made a very creditable showing for his first season. A useful batsman who was always good for a few runs. Very keen in the field but must learn to pick up on the run. H. .llzzrkwzzis Q1935l. 1.acked confidence in his batting and so did not give of his best in matches. Very keen in the field. H. Pzzfflz 119351. :X good bat though rather unorthodox. Played some useful innings just when they were needed. Good in the field. J. lfregg 119351. :X very promising bowler who must learn to concentrate on length rather than pace. Has a good eye and hits the ball hard. Should be very useful next season. The opening game against B.C.S., an all day match at the M..-X..-X..-X., was won by nine wickets. B.S.C. won the toss and went in first, but were all out by lunch time for a total of 7-1. Peacock taking 3 wickets for 18, Molson 2 for 16, and P. Mackenzie 2 for 13. We replied with a total of 103, Hodge 30, Peacock 25. In the second innings B.C.S. were dismissed for -1-1, and the balance needed to win was made with the loss of only one wicket. The home and home games against Ashbury ended in a win and a loss. The game at Ottawa was won easily by -19 runs. We batted first, and at 104 for 3 wickets down, 1331 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1935-1930 Hodge decided to declare in an effort to force a win. Molson, Peacock and H. Mackenzie all played outstanding innings scoring 32, 17, and 36 respectively. Ashbury were left with 65 minutes in which to make the runs, but as a result of steady bowling by Molson and Peacock,and excellent fielding, were all out for 55, five minutes before time. The return game in Montreal on the McGill Campus was the most exciting of the season. Ash- bury went in first and were all out for -1-1, Peacock taking -1 wickets for 17 runs. We ex- perimented with a changed batting order and a collapse occurred. At a crucial point in the game Hodge was clean bowled by a perfect length ball from Barclay of Ashbury, and we were all out for -12, thus losing the match by only 2 runs. The game against 1..C.C. was most successful, being won by -15 runs. Hodge de- clared with the score at 53 for 5 wickets, and Barclay and Peacock took up the bowling attack. So well did they bowl that 1..C.C. were all out for 18, and the bowling analysis read Barclay 6 for 13, Peacock 3 for 5. The remaining two matches against Allan Va1e's Xl and the Montreal -1 unior Cricket League were lost and drawn respectively. Of the 1935 XI only two are left around whom we have to build a new side. Never- theless the prospects for this year are good as the junior games last year showed great keenness and much talent. Keenness alone, however, is I1Ot sufficient qualification for success, and full advantage must be taken by everyone of the opportunities for practice in the indoor net at the M.A.A.A. For only by hard and serious practice can any degree of proficiency be achieved, whether at batting, bowling or fielding. We are very fortu- nate in now having Mr. Howis on the staff whose experience both of playing and coaching will be invaluable to Selwyn House cricket. W. C. HAY. Sutter 1935 The Soccer season of 1935 can be regarded in retrospect with great satisfaction. Although the representative l'nder 15 XI failed to win any of the four matches played, the lower teams, Cnder 1-1, 13 and 12 respectively, between them won four out of their five matches. This gives the greatest promise for the future of Selwyn House football. The experience of match play so gained and all it demands of stamina and determination will be invaluable in building up next year's team. The Under 15 X1 suffered under the handicap of extreme youthfulness. Nine of them were under 1-1 at the beginning of the season, and in the matches against Ashbury and St. Albans the weight, stamina and experience of the opposing teams were insurmount- able obstacles to our success. H. N07'5ZU07'ffI.1' C193-l:f35l. Captained the XI and played consistently well at outside left. He always gave of his best, and his knowledge of the game was an all im- portant factor in holding the team together. A fast clever dribbler with an excellent centre kick. K. Porter C193-1-351. Centre forward, the best shot on the team, and the pivot of every attack. Controlled the ball cleverly, and was always ready to make the best of every opening. Marked his man very closely and kept his forwards well together. 1391 NIIXN1XHlrlNi Nblilllll NIXMXXINI' IAUHI HXI I, l 3F IL K'l1.1'i1i111's,Ku,XX'11Y1rs,1,,I'l,1113jw.1'1' f VXl,ks1,7'kT.

JI. B1u'ge,r.r Cl935l. Left half. Very keen. Always stuck close to his man, and fed his wing well. E. Chfzz11be'1'.v ll935D. Half. An inconsistent player, very good at times. His passing was good, but tended to miss his man through being out of position. G. HlZ1IIp,YOI1 l,1935,l. Full back. Played consistently well. A strong kicker who always managed to clear the ball well. Should be very useful next year G. I1'i11l61'.r Ll935D. Full back. The mainstay of the defense. Always tackled his man fearlessly, but rather slow in getting the ball away .1'. S. LeiUf'5m'ie1' Cl935J. Goal. Played well all season, especially under pressure and cleared the ball well, but tended sometimes to let easy shots slip through. The Under I5 played two matches against Ashbury, one against St. Albans, and one against the Masters. The home game against Ashbury played on October 1-lth was lost 3 - l after an excellent game. Porter, Norsworthy and Tetrault led attack after attack but were re- pulsed by the strong Ashbury defense, and we were able to break through only once for Porter to score. The return game in Ottawa on Oct. 19th told the same story of lack of weight and experience, and ended in a 6 - 0 defeat. The team played hard all through and after the game Winters, Lehlesurier 1, Little l, Scrimger and Grimaldi were awarded their colours U. Towards the end of the season St. Albans brought down a fast heavy side, and the game was lost 6 -0. Hampson 1, VVregg, and Burgess all played well and were awarded their colours . The remaining game against the Master's XI was much enjoyed by all concerned. The opportunity was taken to repay on the field many old debts contracted in the form room. The outstanding performances of the afternoon were the clever defensive play of lNIr. YVanstall, who fell down once, and the vigorous attacks of hir. Seymour, who fell down several times, thereby endangering the very existence of his ubiquitous beret. Selby Stewart opened the scoring tor the Masters, which was soon evened up by the School. Towards the end or the second half Mr. Phillips took a pass neatly in front of goal and beat Lehlesurier to win the match for the Masters by 2 - I. A cap of many colours in the centre of every fray indicated the presence of Mr. Jackson, who kindly refereed the game with justice and due clemency. The Under 1-I XI played two games against L.C.C., winning the first by 3 -0 and the return game 4 - O. After the first game on Oct. 12th Porter and Tetrault were awarded their colours . The play of the Under 13 and Under 12 teams was most encouraging. The former lost the first game against B.C.S. at Lennoxville by -lf - 0, but the return game in Montreal was won 2 - 1 after one ot the best and most closely fought games of the season. The Under 12 game against L.C.C. was an innovation this year. It proved to be a great success and was won by 5 - O. Svixes The Sixes produced some exciting and closely fought games. The sides were evenly matched and throughout the series not more than two goals were scored by any one side l31l NII,NX1NHl1lNI NL'IIll1Jl.

But, forgetting the lack of goals scored, and remembering only the keenness and spirit with which the games were played, the clever passing and stick- handling, no fears need be had for the future success of Selwyn House Hockey, and next season promises to be better than ever. GEORGE VVINTERS Q1935-365 was elected captain, and his handling of the team both on and oil' the ice was a model of good captaincy. His line defence work inspired confidence, and his frequent sallies down the ice led to many a goal. H. Noaswoarnv C1934-35-361 Left wing. A line skater and stick-handler, and the most finished player on the side. Always cool and looking for an opening, with a line shot and quick to get back in defence. K. PORTER Ql935f36j Centre. A forceful forward and a dangerous shot from any angle, who took advantage of the smallest opening. Played line hockey all season. E. PEACOCK C1935-365 Right wing. Combined excellently with Porter and Nors- worthy on the first line. A quick, fast, and accurate shot. W. SAVAGE t1935f36J Left wing. An eager forward who skates fast and controls the puck well. Put in many fine shots, and a good checker. R. TfTRAL'l.'F H9365 Centre. An exceptionally fast skater, shines at getting back in defence. Could skate through any opposition, and a fine shot. A. SCRIMGER H9363 Right wing. A strong player with a hard, accurate right-hand shot. Very good poke check. Played consistently well. R. LElh'lESL'RIER 119367 Goal. The find of the season. Combined coolness and any amount of pluck with amazing quickness. Will be invaluable next year. M. LITTLE H9369 Defence. A slow skater but nearly always managed to get his man. Captained the Under l-I and Under 13 sides splendidly. R. CULVER H9365 Defence. A hard, fast skater, very good at coming up the ice to make an opening, and a good shot. The Under 15 opened the season on Jan. 25 at the Coliseum with a match against L.C.C. which was lost by -ffl. The side had not settled down, and poor passing and team- work failed to make the best of the few openings offered by the much faster and heavier L.C.C. side. Of the forwards, Porter and Norsworthy tried hard but had little support, while VVinters and Little battled valiantly on the defence. The return on Feb. l5 was scrappy and produced little good hockey, and was lost 34. The first game against Ashbury, played at Ottawa on Feb. 1, was an excellent game in spite of the slow ice. In the first period Porter, Savage, and Norsworthy all found the net, while Ashbury beat LeMesurier 1 twice. Winters went up the ice in the second period to increase the lead with a clever goal, which, however, was soon answered by Ashbury when Main scored. At the end of the last period Ashbury scored again to tie the score and the match. A feature of the game was the splendid performance by Barclay in the Ashbury goal, and the real cause of our failure to score a win. The return game in Montreal on Feb. 14th ended in another draw 2f2, this time Ashbury having the edge on the play, the game being tied by Tetrault from a scramble in front of the net only 30 seconds before time. l33l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE The Under 1-I lost their home and home series against B.C.S. by 7-0 and 8-0, but both were excellent games, and our defeat was due only to the speed, weight and line play of the B.C.S. team. Little l, Stairs 2, Cheyney, Tomlinson, Cooper and Savage 2 all played well, while Lehlesurier 2 stopped many more shots than he ever let pass. The remaining game of the season was played by the Under I3 against L.C.C., a scoreless draw with Selwyn House getting the better of the play. Goodall, Stanger, Tom- linson, Savage 2 and Blaiklock all played very well. Unfortunately the Fathers' Match this year had to be scratched owing to the weather. During the course of the season, the members of the Under I5 side were awarded their Hockey Colours . FIVFSN Twelve teams were entered in the Fives this year, and were divided into two leagues with six teams in each. After Inany hard fought games Norsworthy and Galt headed one league, Porter and Savage I the other. In the play-offs Norsworthy beat Porter -It--1, and Savage defeated Galt. The Final between Savage and Norsworthy has yet to be played. NoRswoIt'rHy's FIVE: Wihitley, Hampson l, Fleming, Goodall, Black, Chipman.

NOTICE TO THE SENIOR SCHOOL:- Zianlihap Task In order to ensure that every boy in the Upper School reads at least one good book by a well-known English author each summer, and to stimulate interest in English literature generally, the Headmaster has decided to set some task to be undertaken by all iil:'i715:'i'.f of the Upper Srlzool during the summer vacation. The book chosen for this year's study is The Pickwick Papers, by Charles Dickens, a particularly happy choice, since the year 1936 marks the centenary of this immortal work. An examination will be held at the beginning of next Winter term, and a prize will be awarded to the boy who best answers the test paper questions. l39l .
