SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Ezzfler Term, 1939: The annual Patrol Leaders Banquet was held at the Windsor Hotel on Feb. 18th. The Governor-General, Lord Tweedsmuir, Chief Scout for Canada, was to have been pre- sent at the banquet, but was unfortunately prevented by illness from attending. However, he spoke staunchly by radio from his bedroom at Govermnent House, Ottawa, and his speech, picked up in the Windsor Hotel, was clearly heard through amplifiers in the Banquet Hall, and was greatly appreciated. Sir Edward Beatty presented the King's Scout Badge to Montreal Scouts who had recently earned the award. Among these Scouts was Huestis, of our own Troop, who has been doing excellent work, having prior to this won the First Class Badge, the Grade :X Cord for proficiency badges, and the Bronze Medallion of the Royal Life Saving Society. The good record of our Patrol Leaders in gaining admission to the Sphinx Patrol was upheld again this year, when, on March l-lth, Fleming, Goidbloom and Huestis were invested as members of the Sphinx Patrol. W.. S' G- Zlihz Jfatbers flllatcb The Fathers' match took place on the Sth of February and was favored by excellent weather. The play was clean and wide open, as the nine to four score indicates. The fathers were fast and coupled their speed with their fine co-ordination to vanquish the school team. Perhaps the fact that 5 man hockey was played made the game so fast, but at any rate, at the conclusion of the game, all were thoroughly exhausted and the refreshments Cthanks to the generosity of Mr. NYanstallJ which were consumed by the respective teams after the game were certainly very satisfying Y The school took an early lead of two goals, but these were quickly offset by the play of the fathers, whose class was beginning to tell. Blaiklock and Goodall combined very well, and made some very effective rallies, but the spectacular goaling of Mr. Greenlees prevented the school from breaking the tie and the first period score ended at two all. In the second and third periods the fathers were in command throughout, and in these two periods the paters added to their score 7 goals whilst the School Team was capable of only two. Fleming scored in the second period, and in the third period when the School played an extra forward in an effort to erase the lead compiled by the fathers, their efforts were rewarded by a goal by Blaiklock. For the Fathers all played very well, whilst for the School, Little, Strong, Blaiklock, Goodall and Fleming all gave stalwart performances. :Xs far as the scoring went, the Molson family, for the Fathers, scored six goals out of nine, while for the School the scorers were: - T. Blaiklock, YY. Fleming, and E. Ballon ill. Mr. P. Mackenzie, the donor of the trophy presented annually to the winners of this inter-generational match, kindly refereed. THF TEAMS: FA'rHERs: Messrs.

The .wo minute silence was observed, and a bugler from the Black VVatch Regiment sounded The Last Post and Reyeille. During the month before Christmas, when the hall at Headquarters was occupied by the Scout Toy Shop, the Troop was obliged to meet elsewhere. Due to the kindness of the Rev. David Scott and the Church, we were again permitted to use the Knox Crescent Church hall. .Xt a swimming meet open to Scouts of the Montreal Central Uistrict, held at the hlontreal High School tank, Fleming won the fifty yards breast stroke and placed second in the fifty yards free style, for Scouts aged l-l I5 years. Huestis won the twenty-live yards breast stroke for Scouts I2 13 years old. This achievement qualified both these Scouts to enter a final meet in which the best swimmers among all the Scouts of Mont- real were to compete. Huestis was unfortunately unable to attend the big meet, held at the N.D.G. Community Swimming Tank, Dec. Ind, but Fleming swam splendidly to win the fifty yards breast stroke for Scouts fourteen years old. Shortly before Christmas a voluntary contribution was taken up in the Troop, and the proceeds were given to a less fortunate Troop, to be used for buying needed items of the Scout uniform. l l3l
