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

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.

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
