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.

This week has been very dull from the ordinary point of view, but there has been a great deal of activity. We were fitted for gas masks two days agog they have a single sheet of Celluloid across the front instead of the goggle kind issued to the Army. They are very nice and comfortable, and although they smell repulsive from the outside you don't notice it when you are in them. liton is fully supplied with them now, I believe, and there are gas masks ready for distribution everywhere. Today a truck went by with a loud speaker on top saying Come and get your gas mask . Today is the day after I-litler's lighting speech in Berlin. I heard part of it on the radio. All today we have been digging up Mr. Asshetoifs rlower beds and filling sand bags. l15l
