SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Q Qlitip to the Seignnrp Qllluh On Saturday February 13th, the boys of Selwyn House School who wished to go to the Seigniory Club gathered at the Windsor station and put their bags and skis on two reserved racks, lmuch to the danger of the heads of those passing byll. After that there was a general rush for the news-stand by some of the smaller boys, and soon we pulled out for Montebello. We had a very pleasant trip, but everybody was glad to get out of the train and start off for the Seigniory Club. One lucky young boy managed to get himself a dog sleigh ride, many of the others looked at him enviously, as they were driven along in ordinary sleighs. :Xt last we reached the Club, and took our bags to our rooms. Those who had not been there before were surprised by its size, and set off to explore it before lunchg others skated on the club rink, and the rest ski-ed. An orchestra played supposedly modern tunes while we ate our lunch. After that we set oFf for the sixth fairway on waxed skis for the jumping. It was terribly slow, and Ken. Porter, who was up with us, did the longest jump, which was 27 feet. Some boys stopped before they even got to the jump, the snow was so sticky. Then everybody went swimming, except those who were not allowed. Two people kindly gave prizes for the junior swimming and senior diving, and so the spectators had something to watch. After dinner anyone who was playing in our hockey game that night put on their hockey things, and with a small crowd of those who wished to watcl'1, we set out to have our game. The ice was not very good, but the game was all right, and Ken Po:'ter's team won. Then we all drove back to the club, and, not very sadly, went to bed. Telephones rang in the morning for us to get up. and we went down to breakfast, hoping for a good day of skiing at Valley Farm. But after breakfast it began to pour with rain, which rather spoiled our hopes. However, two tournaments were organized, a ping-pong tournament, and a bad- minton tournament. Some boys played billiards, and occupied every table- which rather spoiled the morning of some of the other guests staying in the hotel Y One or two of us went curling, and on the whole a very good morning was spent. We were left pretty well to our own resources in the afternoon, but everybody found something to do, - even if it was only homework for Monday f Movies were shown earlier in the afternoon, and a lot of boys watched them. We had a very nice tea, and everyone was sorry to leave for the station. Resrtrsz-For jumping, swimming, badminton, ping-pong, and hockey were as follows: Senior ski jump, first, KI. L. Little, second, .-X. C. Scrimger. junior ski jump, first, T. M. Blaiklockg second, D. YY. Huestis. l33l
