Dunn is Lieutenant, R.C.N. V.R. It was with great regret that we heard last year of the deaths of Dr. H. C. Burgess, well known Montreal surgeon, and of Mr. Durie McLennan. Dr. Burgess' son, Tim , is now at McGill, while Hugh McLennan is still with us in Form 4. We would like to ex- press our sympathy. .-Xn interesting innovation this year in the School has been the publication from time to time of a newspaper, entitled The Veritas , edited, written, and printed on the School duplicating machine, by the boys of the Sth Form, under the guidance of Mr. XYiseman. The contents have had a wide scope: News, home and abroad: current events: short articles lreprints of one or two of which appear, by kind permission of the Editor, in this Magazinei: puzzles, quips, quizzes, Limericks, clerihews, problems, hobbies, sports news, and some excellent general knowledge questions. Unlike many newspapers of this type, the effort has been sustained, and so far ten numbers have been issued at approximately fortnightly intervals. Every boy in the Form has contributed in some measure or other, and great credit is due to the Editor, J. Chipman. The Compiler of this Magazine acknowledges with many thanks the help afforded him by the boys of the Sixth Form in its publication. The work was divided as follows: A Literary: J. Lewis, .-X. Chipmang Sports: T. Blaiklock, G. Goodall: Skiing news: XY. Mason: Photography: T. Flood: School Movies correspondent: Elder: Old Boys news: H. Gault. The installation of a Movie projector in the big classroom downstairs has been a great success. Pictures of educational and instructive interest have been shown at times when games and other outdoor activities have been impossible owing to unsuitable weather. Mr. Wiseman has acted as operator. Both pictures and sound have been uniformly ex- cellent. A detailed account by J. Elder appears elsewhere. :X Club was formed last year by the members of Form II-B, called the Sel - Y Club. It now has ll members, G. Seely being President, P. Holland Vice-president, B. Day Secretary, assisted by D. XYhite, W. Palmer, Treasurer, and D. Giblin, Corresponding Secretary. The Club holds regular meetings, visits factories, and other places of interest. So far .-Xllan's Beverage plant, the Redpath Museum, St. Helen's Island, a circus, and a Boys' Camp have been visited. An enterprising effort l l3l SHLWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Mr. Anstey is now the proud possessor of a handsome ale mug, kindly presented to him at Christmas by the boys of the Sixth Form. It is of' silver, with glass bottom, and is inscribed with the initials of the donors and the School. rs ek wk Ken Porter has been, as usual, very much to the fore in the ski-ing field. On February 18th he helped the Ski Club of' Montreal in the Provincial Ski Jumping Championship at Three Rivers, coming fifth in the list with leaps of' 120 and 133 feet 1200.8 pointsi. On the same day Lester Tomlinson, ski-ing for the lfniversity of' Bishop's College at the annual Fastern Townships, Ski Zone championships, came first in the Slalom with 100 points, sixth in the Downhill, and first in the Individual Combined with 285.8 points. We note from the successful list of the University of Bishop's College C.O.T.C. examinations, which qualify candidates for commissions, the names of' the f'ollowingO.S.H boys: f R. S. S. Grier, R. H. Lindsay, I-1. li. Mackenzie, L. S. Magor, Lord Shaughnessy C, BillyH1, and C. I.. Tomlinson. ak 914 3? The boys of' the School collected for Federated Charities the sum of' 53513, and for the Red Cross 39.55. A collection of' used tooth paste and similar tubes for the latter is now on hand. ak FF Pk Many contributions have been received for this issue which we have unfortunately been unable to publish, chiefly through lack of' space. Penfield's Clform 35 Adventures of' a 25c. Piece, and Moyse's l'Form 55 Italy, were well worthy of inclusion, and our thanks are also due to Decary Clilorm 31 England v. Germany, Seely Clform 'IBD Ski-ing, and A. Patterson lgliorm 5? Learning to Drive a Motor Car. To all Old S.H.S. Boys serving their King and Country at home and abroad, at sea, on land, and in the air, we send our very best wishes for all good luck. Omnia mutat .-Xres.. . . but VERITAS prtevalebit.

Miss Snead has kindly SCIH us some contributions from the Junior School, and many of them are very creditable efforts for boys so young. Here is one from George Furse, Form A: - The Ra! and fhe .Hole Came our of a hofe, .ind decided to visit the Sioaf: Ilfhife out on lhe road They mei Alf. Toad, Ilfho wanted fo go in a boal. So thev went to the Hfeazzzls, Butfound they had 7Il6lZ'I.llbs', S0 they af! began promptbv to shiver, When the Ra! out of turn Yumped into the stern, .ind they allfell into the river .' C. Beaubien, age 7, sends us another poem, entitled Tommy : - I have a dog that is very black, Hisfur is ew-bv on his bark: He loves to chase lhe alley ea! - Bllf is afraid of a mouse or ra! .' A. Paterson, age 7, Form C, also sends us a dog story: - I had a dogg his name was Pinky, he was a big dog. Daddy and I went to buy a dog. When we saw a place where they sold dogs, he stopped the car, and we got out. We saw a lot of dogs in the place. A lady came out and showed us round. When she came to one dog, his name was Pinky. Daddy and I liked him most, so Pinky came home and lived with us. Frnest's voyage to Costa Rica is told by A. O. Aitken, age 7, Form B,:- Once upon a time there was a little boy, and his name was Ernest. One day his Daddy told him that in four more days they were going to their summer place in Costa Rica. The journey was long and hard, but they had such good fun when they got there. It was a long way, too, because they had come from Montreal. The house that they lived in was of red cement, and three stories high. A more serious theme comes from J. Morgan, age 9, Form A. His contribution, well worthy of print, is the story of the Great Armada, but it is rather too long for publica- tion. Other interesting articles were received from C. I-lampson lNew York World Fairl, YYinter la Limerickl, Julian Chipman lDog Tonyl, Marler and C. R. Bronfman fLime- ricksl. Many thanks to Xliss Snead, Miss Kinnear, and the boys of the Junior School who have been kind enough to take so much interest in this edition of the Magazine. l7l SIfI,xX'YN HUl'Sl: SCHUUIA KIAU,-XXINP 11 - Q.

Black became Senior Patrol Leader. New recruits were enrolled, and several senior scouts, notably Currie, Mappin and Tees, commenced attending the Junior Section meetings as well as their own meetings, giving generous assistance in teaching recruits and younger scouts. The Troop was organ- ized as follows, with forty-nine members: Cougzzry P.L. BLACK 2nd CURRIE BovEY PENFIELD G. XYHITE HOXYIS GIBLIX Bzdfaloef P.L. SUTHERLAND CAMPBELL P.

SHORE Y BIAGOR The Scoutmaster offered the assistance of the Troop in whatever War service the Boy Scout Association might require us to do. So far there has not been much opport- unity to be of use, but it is likely that as time goes on the Scouts will be able to perform real service. Scouts Vass and Day performed creditably at the annual Central District Swimming Meet, held in the Montreal High School Tank, in December. l9l SEIAYYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Wie are again indebted to the kindness of the Rev. David Scott and Knox Crescent Church for the use of the Sunday School Hall for meetings during the month before Christ- mas, when the hall at Headquarters was occupied by the Scout Toy Shop. Eaflfr Term, 19101: In January, a gift of X-ray photographic equipment was presented to the Children's Memorial Hospital by the Boy Scout Association. Scout Mappin of our Troop represented the Scouts of the Central District at the presentation ceremony. A hockey team representing the Troop played a team from St.George's Church Troop in February. Although our Scouts played hard, they were outclassed by a very fine team. Patrol Leaders Black, Mappin and Dobell have passed those parts ofthe Sphinx Patrol course given so far this year. This course, given by Scout Headquarters, is devoted to training in leadership for Patrol Leaders. A feature of the Troop activities this year has been the large number of proficiency badges won, a larger number than for several years past. W. S. G. The Ski muh. During the Christmas holidays The Selwyn House Ski Club at Ste. Adele opened for its second season. The club's accommodation has been greatly increased by the instal- lation of bunks in the dormitory upstairs. The members this year are: Tim Blaiklock, Bill Mason, Peter Dobell, Hilary Big- nell, Gavin Miller, and John Chipman. Dick Cvoldbloom and David Culver, who now go to Lower Canada, are also members. Several old boys came up to the club for a few days during the Christmas holidays. These were Bill Fleming, Brian Little, Eddie Ballon, and Bart Sutherland. Mlle. Des- jardins still produces excellent meals, and does much to keep the club tidy. XY. NI., Form 6. ll0l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1939-19-Ill Ehitb ibutner is the greatest threat tu Qliihilisatinn? Since the last world war, it has become obvious that three nations have repeatedly threatened and destroyed the peace of the world, and have prevented nations, who wanted peace with the rest of the world, from realizing their aims. These three nations, namely Germany, Russia and Japan, by their repeated on- slaughts on the minorities within their lands, and upon their neighbours, have forced the world to meet their brutalities by resisting their lawless aggression. The similarities between Germany, Russia, and Japan, to which may also be added Italy, are that the people have no say in the government ruling them. Two of them, Ger- many and Russia, are ruled by dictators at the head of small groups, who are responsible to no one, and who destroy enemy opposition, while in Japan, the same thing is accom- plished by a small military group who impose their will through a form of parliamentary government, over which reigns an absolute monarch. :X similar form of government is also ruling over the destinies of Italy, being a combination of dictatorship and a monarchy, but where the real ruler is the dictator. In these countries, especially Germany, Russia, and Italy, the freedom of the press, speech, and of assembly no longer exists. In addition, the people are prevented from obtaining information or news from foreign countries, with the result that they are kept in ignorance as to what is happening in the rest of the world. In this way, the only information handed out to them is through a controlled, muzzled press, and only that which their dictators wish them to know. Germans also preach the superiority of their own people over all others in the world, the right to destroy any other people in their march to world domination, and their right to take whatever they want lfrom other countriesl. They preach that might is right, and that the individual exists only to advance the interests of the state or for strengthening the nation, so as to conquer others. All these nations also make use of propaganda as a means of undermining the free or democratic form of government in other lands, and strive to stir up dissension every- where, so that those favourable to their ideals may seize the reins of government and advance their doctrines. Of all these countries grouped under the heading of Totalitarian States, the most pernicious and dangerous to the peace of the world and to the establishment of neigh- bourly relations is undoubtedly Germany. This country consists of a people that has never been able to govern itself demo- craticallyg that can be readily regimentedg that has always during history made war re- lentlessly and ruthlessly on its neighbours, that has never respected its given word and treaties, that has always persecuted minorities, and has been obsessed with the desire of conquest, and has preached the superiority of might over justice and reason. jfs., Form 5. llll SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE 211313: iBriiJe u' the Market Square.

B. K. T. H. l121 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1950-1940 Qlatetpillars. Last spring I had the fun of keeping a few apple-tree tent caterpillars. Many people think that caterpillars are dull creatures, but they are entirely wrong, and I think that caterpillars are, in their way, more interesting than dogs, cats, or horses. A few people think that caterpillars change directly into butterliies or moths. This is not true. The butterfly exists in four formszfegg, larva fcaterpillarj, chrysalis Qpupa, if connected with a mothj, and the maggi, or perfect insect. The word caterpillar is commonly used for larva H. It has three pairs of legs, and four pairs of false legs, which are elongated bumps, and are immovable. The latter are of a duller colour, and are to be found in front of two minute claws at the end of the body. These claws are strong enough to hang on to a leaf, while the rest of the body is left hanging in mid air. The caterpillar's head can be pulled inwards like a turtle's when in danger. Some have heads provided with two repulsive horns. The puss moth caterpillar has two long tails , which can be waved in a frighten- ing manner. Many caterpillars have a coat of bristles which hurt the devouring bird's mouth: some are helpless, but resemble those who have defence, and so live unharmed. Nlany more resort to camouflage. Nearly all caterpillars sham death when hard pressed by a foe. All these are forms of defence. A caterpillar has no lungs, and breathes through small holes in its sides, which are called spiracles. A large number of cocoons are built, each year, by the caterpillars of the moths. Only moth caterpillars build cocoons, and each species of caterpillar has its own type of cocoon. The cocoon is a means of defence to the sleeping pupa. A question arises, and the question is: Why does the pupa sleep F The answer is that, if the pupa were awake, while changing from a caterpillar to a pupa, it would suffer greatly: so it sleeps through it. A tent caterpillar makes its cocoon in a very systematic way. It starts it in a shel- tered place by making a silk pad. The silk comes from glands near the caterpillar's mouth. Gradually the cocoon forms over the caterpillar. It then coats the inside with a yellowish substance, called chitin. A caterpillar which I recently found made its cocoon in a very strange way. It shed its bristles, and then tied them around its body with sticky silk: it was protected by a barrier of bristles 5 The moth emerges from the cocoon in spring or in summer. I always remember my first moth. It was a beautiful, light shade of brown. A large number of moths are of this colour. The Polythemus, Io, Luna, Cynthia, Crecropia, and the Great Atlas Moth are among the most beautiful insects. Their colours are pale, but very pretty. Caterpillars are very interesting creatures, and one can learn a great deal about their peculiar habits from keeping them for a season. One feels quite proud, when the first moth emerges from the cocoon, and spreads and dries its wings. D. P., Form -l. l13l Sl-iI.WYN HUL'S1-1 SCHOOI, NI.-XG.-XZINPQ The Ziaalifax Qlixplnsiun. Thursday December oth, 1917, will ever be memorable as the date of the great disaster which, with catastrophic suddenness, burst upon the beautiful and historic city of H2llifz1X. The spotlight is on two ships, the French ship Mont Blanc , a steamer, and a Norwegian ship, the lmo During the 1Yar, ships who wanted either to enter or leave the port had to ask the Admiralty at what time they could enter or leave. Naturally a great many ofthe old salts resented having to ask a young Lieutenant when they were allowed to move their own ships. The lmo was requested to leave the harbour at 8 p.m. on the evening of the Sth, but her captain decided to take his ship out at 8 a.m. on the oth. Consequently there were two ships advancing towards each other, the Admiralty having arranged with the Mont Blanc to come in at 3 a.m. on the oth. The Tmo was on her way to New York to pick up a relief cargo for the war sullferers of Belgium. The Mont Blanc was carrying a deck cargo of benzol, and an under - cargo of the most powerful explosive, T.N.T. Slowly the two vessels approached each other, nearer and nearer they drew, reaching the Narrows between the harbour and Bedford basin. Then happened the inexplicable: someone had blundered . The Norwegian vessel collided with the Mont Blanc and almost immediately her deck cargo of benzol caught Fire. The lmo then sheered otli and went aground. The oH'icers on board l-l.lXI.S. Niobe lan old cruiser which was now tied up to the wharf, and used as a depot shipl sent a picket boat to try and tow the French ship away from the wharves Lthe ship burned for about seventeen minutes before she went upl. However, it was too late to do anything, as the fire had reached the 4 000 tons ofexplosive she carried, and the ship blew up. The men on the picket boat were never heard of or seen again. The damage of course was terrible. Property damage was estimated at between forty and fifty millions. There were 1,200 dead, 2,000 wounded, and 6,000 rendered home- lessg some say the death list amounted to '2,000, the injured 20,000. Five hundred persons vanished altogether. The houses collapsed like cards. The whole north end of the city, practically two square miles of territory, became a burning ruin. A considerable section of the water front was completely shattered. There was not a single window left intact. One piece of the Mont Blanc's anchor went three miles in Hameg the other part sailed across the harbour and landed hve miles away. :X box-car on a station siding was picked up and thrown right across a corner of the harbour, and could be seen sticking up in the ground for weeks. The lmo which had run aground had her decks completely swept, her captain and thirty of his crew had been squashed on her deck by the concussion, her masts had been taken otl' her, ,-Xll kinds of ships were drifting round the harbour. To crown it all, a blizzard arrived in the evening making the already terrible-iob of the rescuers twice as hard. However, aid was sent immediately from all parts of the 1141 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1939- 1940 States and Canada, but it was a very long time before the city and its population re- Covered. P. R. I., Form 5. lNO'I'EI Stories of this, the most horrible explosion in world history, are conflicting, but the above account, told the author of the above article by one who experienced the tragedy, is closely' borne out by .-Xrthur Mee in his Hero Book. He tells how Captain Newcombe having, at the time of the collision, a wound dressed aboard the Niobe after the amputation of a leg, called for volunteers to take the ship's pinnace, when Boat- swain Matthison of Toronto and six seamen came forward at once to try and grapple with the burning Mont Blanc. The seven men perished. Another account states that three otlicers and twenty men of H.NI.S. Highflyer anchored near by put a boat overside, reached the Mont Blanc, and clambered aboard. All were dissolved in that globe of fiery gas 4 by possibly the greatest detonation ever heard on earth. In any case, the officers and men of Xiobe and Highflyer offer an example of bravery that will be long remembered in our naval history. - Ed. I The Defeat of the Emi bpm .

She was hunting for the German raider Deutschland , but so far she had not caught her. Sub-lieutenant Bob Saunders was sleeping like a log when somebody threw open his door and yelled, Your watch, Sir Bob got out of his bunk and sighed regretfully, but duty was duty. He pulled on his heavy rubber boots and oilskins, and headed for the bridge. Arriving there, he settled down to a steady pace and walked to and fro across the bridge. Suddenly he stopped and peered ahead. He thought he could see a dark shape, but was not sure, so he whipped out his night-glasses. Derelict bearing down on our port beam , cried the lookout. 4' Ah, that explains it , said Bob to himself. Bob got the ship away from the derelict and yelled for a messenger to go and tell the Captain. The ship directed a searchlight on the derelict, which showed it was a three-masted barque. Meanwhile the Captain was ordering the whaler's crew away. As Bob was in command of the whaler, he jumped in with the crew who took their places in the boat. Oil was being let out of the ship in order that the sea might be made as calm as possible for the Whaler. Reaching the ship, they found that it had been a case of mutiny, but that the captain was still aboard, though wounded. Rowing back to the ship they took the captain aboard, and the ship proceeded on her interrupted course. D. W., Form 2 B. Swan Jfrantiscn Jfair. XYhen l went to the San Francisco Fair the First thing l saw was the Hall of Science, which included Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Astronomy, and significant chapters of modern medicine. There is a Radio Active Klan in this Hall. All of these wonders can only be understood by seeing them. The l'nder Sea Gallery discloses the mysteries of the water kingdom. Then again you may see how X-Rays are taken, listen to lectures, and see the moving pictures of the world of to-morrow. The most interesting thing of all is the Hall of Air Transportation . It consists of Doug. Corrigan's i900 crate in which he flew the Atlantic from New York to Ire- land non-stop in 1933. You can also see some old planes built by Robert Fowler in 1912. One of them is an 80 H.P. bi-plane. There is also a good display of gas models weighing from l lb. to -l lbs. llfil FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1939-1940 Then we went to the Mines, Metals, and Machinery Building. Here you may pass fifteen minutes of your time going through about 500 ft. of underground passageways, and see all the details and operations of typical western gold and silver mines. Treasure Mountain is one of the most interesting things in the Hall of Mines, Metals, and Machinery. It is 50 ft. high and 170 ft. long. On its surface are represented gold and copper mines of Nevada and open-pit mines of l'tah, with models of machinery in opera- tion. The next place visited was the International Hall. Here Czecho-Slovakia has famous Bohemian glass, shoes, toys, garnet jewelry and other arts, crafts and industries. Denmark has tableware, Royal Copenhagen porcelain, sterling silver, and other crafts native to Denmark. Of course, these are only a few of the many countries with exhibits at the Fair. There were many other interesting buildings there, but unfortunately I did not have time to visit any more. At night we took a ride on the Elephant Train which ran us all around the Fair Grounds. The lighting effect through the whole Fair is magnificent. After a most enjoy- able time at the Fair it seemed a shame to have to leave for home. P, K., Form 3. Q School Bay.

There were excellent Swiss ski Elms, which were greatly enjoyed, and of special interest to those boys who are keen on skiing. They were very good in showing the position of the skis before and during the various turns. This was made even clearer by the use of Slow Motion Photography, which enabled one to see actions too fast for the unaided eye to distinguish. These films also showed jumping done successfully and otherwise. Another interesting film was The Plough that broke the Plains . This showed the gradual transformation of the grassy western plains, with their Buffalo herds, first into profitable wheat fields and, finally, into a dusty desert. Man's folly in wasting good land through poor agricultural methods and overgreediness was very well demonstrated. The scenes showing the trek into California by the ruined and dispossessed farmers were very realistic. Wheels across Africa was an interesting picture of the difificulties and adventures encountered in attempting to cross that continent by car. Stopping first at Fez, where interesting scenes of the town were shown, the travellers progressed, with a car and two trucks, through desert and jungle, often under very trying conditions, and finally reached their destination, which was the Red Sea. Many scenes showed antelope, leopards, lions and numerous other animals in their natural surroundings. Several Native tribes were also encountered and amusing pictures made of their ways of living and of their dances. This expedition was sponsored by the Dodge Company, whose car and trucks were the ones used in making the trip. 'L Forest Treasures and Saga of the Silver Horde were two commercial films dealing respectively with the making of veneers and the Salmon fishing industry on the Pacific coast. Both were interesting and instructive, and gave little known details of these two great industries. The film Big Fish showed the ways and means of fishing for the larger types of deep sea fish. Tuna, Sailfish, Barracuda, and several others were shown, and the pic- tures made this sport seem a very fascinating one. To those who had not seen films of the visit of Their Mabiesties to this side of the Atlantic, the pictures of the Royal Visit were particularly entertaining and instructive. Their tour across Canada was very well depicted. The geographical subjects, while of a more serious nature than the above men- tioned films, were nevertheless equally interesting and instructive. As they were in a rather condensed form it was necessary to show each one twice in order that it might be thoroughly understood. The films dealt with the effect of the atmosphere, wind and water on the Earth's surface. Films were obtained from the following sources: - the Overseas League, the Eastman Kodak Co. and the Erpi Co. Many were supplied free of charge, and the School is much indebted to those who kindly lent them. The general opinion seems to be that the movies U have been a very successful venture, and it is hoped that they will, in fu- ture, be a regular feature of the school programme. J. E., Form 6. l19l SIQLWYN HOl,'S1i SCHOOL NIAGAZINI-Q The Qtrasb nf the jflilnnarcbiss anh the Rise uf the Republics. The crash of the monarchies and the springing up in their place of republics is large- ly due to the fact that in many cases the monarchs show'ed themselves to be tyrannical slave-drivers, and to care nothing for the welfare of the lower classes. The French Revolution was the lirst of its kind to occur in Europe, and was, as we know, fully successful in deposing and executing its monarch Louis XVI. In the year 13-13 there began in lfurope a general series of revolutions which oc- curred in nearly every country of laiurope. These were started, not to set up Bolshevist states, but purely to de-pose monarchs and to wrest the power from the nobles, and they were in no small way to shake the foundations of the great monarchies. But again as in 1790 revolution started in Paris. On Feb. the 22nd the streets of Paris were hlled with armed, idle crowds, who shouted, Hurrah for reform l Down with the Ministers 1 and in a few days Louis, last King of France, abdicated. There was at this time a great deal of discontent in the countries of Italy, owing to the fact that the people were stirred up by such radicals as Mazzini and Mani. On January 12th the people of Palermo, Sicily, rose in arms against its Bourbon Government. On January 27th the people of Naples followed suit, and only a popular constitu- tion proclaimed by lferdinand II averted revolution. Similar outbreaks broke out all over Italy and in the North, then dominated by .-Xustria, the Austrian Commander, Radetzky, was forced to proclaim martial law. A revolt now broke out in Berlin, where troops and rioters clashed, barricades were thrown up, and for a day street lighting continued, until the streets were cleared. The Czechs ot' Bohemia now rebelled for independence, and barricades were thrown up in the City of Prague, where the governor threatened to bombard the city unless the barricades were removed. This was not done, so accordingly the city was taken by storm and martial law prevailed. ln February of 13-W, Don Carlos the Spanish Pretender joined a revolution in Catalonia under Carbera, but was soon arrested, and Carbera, deprived of his assistance, soon Hed the country. Although the revolutions of 18-18 and 13-19 failed, they were in no small way, as I have said, to weaken the prestige of practically all the great houses of Europe. The year 1870 was a critical one for France. The Prussians under Von Moltke were driving everything before them owing to the folly of the French Emperor, and were fast advancing on Paris. On September lnd the French army, under the Emperor Louis 12411 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1939- 1940 Napoleon, had been forced to surrender with all baggage after the battle of Sedan. The Empress Eugenie had been forced to Hy, France was proclaimed a republic and at length on Jan. 29th, 1871, France yielded. But even now, France was not to have peace, as the Members of the Paris Com- mune procured some cannon and pointed them against the city, but at length, after a week of fighting, they were crushed on the barricades of Paris. .-Xt this time and Communists. a great number of east, and partly to who by stirring up Russia was undergoing a great deal of trouble owing to the Nihilists The first serious Russian revolution occurred in the year 1905, when the lower classes rioted, owing, partly to the Russian failures in the Radicals such as Lenin, Bronstein or Trotsky, Chicherin and others the innocent people caused many deaths among them. A typical incident occurred in this revolution, which made splendid propaganda for the revolutionaries, both in Russia, and abroad. A great mob had been stirred up by a priest named Father Gapon, who was really just a revolutionary in disguise, to go to the emperor bearing ikons and other instruments, to ask him to form a more democratic form of government. No sooner had they reached the gate of the palace than the guards shot them down. The monarchies suffered another blow in Portugal when King Manuel was de- posed prior to the war, after which a republic was declared which has existed ever since. Russia again throughout the early years of the war suffered greatly. The country was in the hands of the dishonest priest Rasputin, who imposed himself on the Empress, and owing to the corruption of the ministers the people became dissatisfied. At last in March 1917 the Czar was forced to abdicate, and the government was put in the hands of Kerensky, who although a great talker, was utterly unfit to run Russia at that time, and after a brief term of office was driven out by the violent Communists such as Lenin, who came back to Russia by the famous Sealed train from Switzerland, where they had been forced to stay since the last revolution of 1905. From that time the VYhite, or Czarist, cause steadily lost ground, and the armies of Denikin and later of YVrange1 were finally driven into the sea in 1921. Another great empire was also tottering all through the war, that of .-Xustria-Hung- ary. The first signs were in Bohemia, where whole regiments of Czechs deserted to the Russians. Up to 1917, however, the Empire had been held together by the strong in- fluence of the old Emperor Franz Joseph, but at his death in 1917, and the accession of his nephew Carl, who was a weak man, it fell to pieces like pins from a worn-out magnet, and in 1918 Carl fled the country. In October 1918 Gen. :Xllenby brought to a close the campaign of the Holy Land bv breaking the Turkish line and by capturing Damascus and all the Turkish bases, thus forcing the Turks to sue for peace. By the breakdown of the Turkish Army Abdul Hamid was forced to abdicate in favour of Mohammed YI, whose reign was cut short by the rising of Mustapha Kemal. 1211 SELWYN HOCSE SCHOOL M.-XG.-XZINE The revolution in Germany was much more orderly than in many other countries. The Kaiser left Gen. H.Q. in Belgium for Holland on the morning ofNovember 9th, 1918, but refused to sign his abdication prepared for him by his Chancellor, Prince Max of Baden, till November 28th. The lirst German King to abdicate was that of Wlirtemberg, fol- lowed by the King of Saxony, then by the King of Bavaria, and later by all the Princes. The Republican Government, under Ebert the saddle maker, formed after the Armistice, had a hard battle against Communism. The Communists led by Dr. Carl Liebknecht and a Jewess, Rosa Luxemburg, who were later murdered, were utterly crushed by the Schupo under Noske, Ebert's right-hand man. The revolution of Greece was not due to the Great 1Yar but to the Turco-Greek War of about 1920. lt was here that King Constantine decided to invade Turkey and after some successes his army was routed by Mustapha Kemal before Angora and driven back into the sea. The Greeks, infuriated by the army's failure in Asia Minor, forced Constantine to abdicate, and thereafter Greece became a republic. About eight or nine years ago, King Alphonso ll of Spain abdicated and came to England owing to the socialist influence then in Spain, but after the revolution starting in 1936 a new King may someday reign in Spain. The monarchy in England lasted all through the war, it has lasted ever since, and will I think last far into the future, the reason being that the King has little power, and the government with which he rules is a democratic one. Where other kings have, through imperious methods, failed to keep their thrones, the King of England keeps his by democratic means. I. B., Form 3. The Zlihrarp.

QBrknzp ani! Sbetlanh. :Xt the end of July 1939 my mother, brother, aunt and I sailed for Orkney and Shetland on the S.S. Rognvald. The ship left Aberdeen at about lunch time, and we ar- rived at Kirkwall at 11 p.m. The whole town seemed to be waiting for the ship l We went out for a stroll on the big flagged pavements, as it was getting dark, and then we went to bed in the ship. l23l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL BI.-XG.-XZIXI-A The next morning we had a walk up to the St. Magnus Cathedral. When we got back to the pier we found that the St. Rognvald was edging away from it, however, it came back, and we went aboard again. All that day until 5 p.m. we sailed north to Shetland. The sea was calm, which is unusual up there. We passed lfair Isle, from where the jerseys and sweaters come. We all disembarked at l,erwick and rented a car and drove to l-lillswick, seeing ponies and black sheep en route. It was a lovely evening, and the shadows on the bay were wonder- ful. We met a friend of my mother's who lives there, and then went back to Lerwick and boarded the ship. The next day we found ourselves back in liirkwall with a whole day to spend. We visited St. Nlagnus Cathedral, which is still intact after SOO years. After going to the top of the Cathedral! tower from which there is a fine view, we met another friend of my mother's who lived in Orkney. All of us had lunch, and then we went and saw over her husband's whisky factory, which was very interesting. From the factory we saw Scapa Flow. Then we bought some woollen articles, and went on the ship. The St. Rognvald was full of cargo and passengers, including many boisterous fisher-girls. The ship rolled and tossed its way back to Aberdeen where we disembarked early the next morning. I liked Shetland better than Orkney, because it was more undulating and wild. People who have a few days to spare in Scotland shouldn't hesitate to go to these Northern Isles. C. S., Form 5.

Music is probably the most important form of entertainment in our time. Those who take any interest in music nearly always listen to it played by the complete orchestra, rather than by a number of individual instruments. There are four sections to an ordinary symphony orchestrafthe strings, the Woodwinds, the brass and the percussion instruments. The violin is the principle instru- ment of the strings. It leads them and very often it takes solo parts. ln sonatas and con- certos it plays solo parts all the way through accompanied by the orchestra, the piano, or either the viola or the violoncello. In some concertos and sonatas a small string orchestra performs without the help of any solo instruments, except occasionally by two or three. Good examples of these are found in Bach's Brandenburg concertos. Many compositions by the great masters were written for the strings, leaving out the other three choirs . The Woodwinds play a less important part than the stringed instruments. Conse- quently they are placed further back than the latter. The Hute very often plays solo parts. It has a slightly lower pitch than the piccolo which is the highest of the woodwinds, and which hardly ever takes principal parts. The oboe frequently plays in either a septet, a sextet or a quintet with some other instruments. ' l29l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE The brass section is used about as much as the woodwinds are. The trumpet is used a great deal in announcing the arrival of notables in operas. It is a very curious in- strument because it has only three stops, while it has a range of at least two octaves. The tuba is the lowest of any instrument. It plays a lot in the orchestra, as well as taking solos to imitate the noises of animals. The percussion section is probably as important as that of the strings. In Bolero which was composed by the late French musician, Ravel, the snare drum is used all the way through the seven minutes of its playing. Besides this, other instruments take solo parts. The snare drum, the bass drum, as well as the kettle drums, or tympani, are used in fifty per cent of all compositions. The cymbals, triangles, celestas, and other instruments of this kind are used here and there in different pieces, although they hardly ever play solos. The harp is probably one of the oldest and most romantic of musical instruments. It was known well to the Jews in Biblical times, indeed, David is remembered as a harper and singer. In the Waltz of the Flowers from Tschaikowsky's 'Nutcracker' Suite, it plays a number of measures, some of the most beautiful ones at that. This instrument has forty-seven strings, so one can see how hard it must be to play. The strings are partly coloured at the top, so the musician can play the instrument without looking for the middle C string or the B Hat one, and so on. The organ is a very important instrument. Johann Sebastian Bach was probably the greatest organist the world has ever had. He composed a great number of preludes and fugues for this instrument. It is used in many of the three hundred of Bach's church cantatas. Of course, everyone recognizes it as being the instrument of the church, but, which is peculiar, a small string orchestra was sometimes used in churches in the time of Bach and Handel, the two greatest composers of church music. The piano is an extremely important instrument also. It is used in Szostakowicz's first symphony, which is uncommon. In sonatas, Concertos, and quintets, it plays an important part. There are few well-known pieces composed for the piano alone, examples of these are Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals, and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. The saxophone is used chieHy in 'jazz' and dance bands. It cannot be in the sym- phony orchestra because it can't play as softly as the strings, nor as loudly as the brass section. The only time when it does play with the symphony orchestra is when it takes solo parts composed for the saxophone. A good example of this is in Ibert's concertino for saxophone and orchestra. One peculiar thing that has happened recently is that Leopold Stokowski has changed the sitting of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. I-Ie has placed the brass and Wood- wind sections in the front, the strings behind and the percussion instruments, as before, at the back. In military bands and in 'jazz' orchestras, there are no stringed instruments. The brass section plays the most important part, while that of the percussion instruments comes next in position. In my opinion, symphonic music is becoming more and more important to everyone than is 'jazz', and I think it will continue to do so. C. .-I. B., Form 5. l30l FOR THE SCHOOL YE.-XR 1939- 1940 The Barahe uf the iBlanets. :X little while ago, in the western sky, there appeared a rare astronomical pheno- menon which has not happened, and will not happen again, for many hundreds of years. This was the so-called Parade of the Planets. The planets were: Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Mars. These planets were strung out in a long line, thus making the Parade. The best time to see this spectacle was just after the sun had set, about 6.30 PBI., before the lowest planet, Mercury, had gone down behind the horizon. This planet is very small, and is usually too close to the sun to be seen. On this occasion, however, it could be seen for about half an hour just after sunset, but it was so low that it was not easy to pick out the faint object among the trees. In spring and summer it can be seen just before sunrise. Ir is a very hot planet, and it revolves about the sun in approximately eighty-eight of our days. So far as is known, it has no moons. Jupiter was the next planet in the Parade This planet is bigger than all of the others combined. Because of its size it was formerly thought to be very hot, but in recent years it has been proved that the planet has an outer covering of ice twenty-two thousand miles thick. It has on top of this I1 covering of gases, which gives the appearance that the planet was hot. In addition to this it has nine moons, the four biggest of which are visible to the naked eye. The planet has a day of eleven hours, instead of the twenty- four hours which we have. It is quite often seen in our northern and Western skies. Venus was the next planet in the line. This planet, with the exception of the Moon, is the brightest object in the heavens. The reason for its great brilliance is because it has around it a thick white atmosphere. The sun's rays strike this atmosphere, and are thrown back into space. Ir is also the closest of the planets to the earth. In size it is very much the same as the Earth , but, like Mercury, it has no moons. The next planet above Venus was Saturn. This planet is second in size only to Jupiter, and like it has a layer of ice sixteen thousand miles thick. It appears in the sky as a faint object, because of its great distance. It also has the famous Rings of Saturn. These are composed of millions of tiny moons, all held together by gravity. As well as these it has eleven larger moons, some of which are visible in a small telescope. The highest planet in the Parade was Mars. This planet was the closest to the earth last July than it has been or will be for Fifteen years. Ir has an atmosphere simi- lar to that of the Earth, but more rarened. If human life is possible outside of the Earth, lNIars is the most likely planet to contain it. It has two moons, Phabos and Oeimos, which are ten miles and live miles in diameter respectively. In addition to these live planets there was a sixth planet in the Parade. This was Uranus. It is invisible to the naked eye, but can be seen with a pair of held glasses or a small telescope. This plane is quite large, but its great distance from the Earth makes it invisible. It has four moons, but these can only be seen in a large telescope. It was fortunate or those who are interested in astronomy that it was a clear night, and that it was easy to see and observe this magnificent spectacle. H. MQL., Form 4. l3l l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOI. MAGAZINE Rburvuranhp. There are several aspects of photography. Une is taking what are termed snap shots U. These are purely records of good times, and incidents of which one wishes to have a visual remembrance, with no particular thought of the artistic or technical idea of photography. However, photography is a subject which can give the devotee many hours of in- tense en-ioymentg also the reverse, many disappointments l One who is fond of shooting and fishing takes along with him many different kinds of lenses, filters, and light meters, and is torn between the two desires of attempting to make good photographs, or of having good fishing or shooting! The net result is that he sometimes has neither, even though he may have a lot of fun l Several things must be remembered, f and above all, you must have a good light. The light should be shining from behind you on the object to be photographed. In sand or snow the aperture should be small, to get a sharp outline of your picture. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of your focus. If you are taking shots of moving objects, your shutter speed should be fast. , Other aspects of photography are technical ones, and include the takingof artistic photographs. To take these pictures one has to remember which would look better: to have the shadow behind the object to be photographed, to have a dark background or a background of trees, mountains, etc. All these are quite diliicult to decide. You can sometimes take a picture against the sun, thus giving it the effect of a silhouette. To do this you must have a small aperture and a fast shutter. On the technical side there are lenses and shutter speeds so fast that it is quite possible to take a photograph of a bullet not only in full flight, but which will also show the actual impact with an object such as an electric light bulb. They will also record the split part of a second during which the bullet is inside the bulb, and when it is emerging. ln this way experts are able to study the flight of a bullet, as well as the effect on the object. Many photographs of this kind are shown in the advertisements of ammunition manu- facturers. The use of fine telephotic lenses from aeroplanes has been made to map untravelled and inaccessible country. The use of these lenses is essential in modern warfare in order to map accurately the enemy's country, and their concentrations of troops and supplies. However, I think that the best pictures are made in the dark room. Suppose a picture is taken, and one part of it does not look well, Clet us say, for instance, that the clouds have not come out welll, then we take some pictures of clouds and superimpose one of them upon the original picture, which will then appear perfect.

Our bowling and fielding in the second L.C.C. innings deteriorated, and stumps were drawn with the L.C.C. score at 53 for three wickets. The home and home series with Ashbury ended in two good victories. On the Mc- Gill Campus on May 27th. Selwyn House batted first for a score of' 9l, Birks making 22, Culver 21, and Thompson 19. Ashbury were dismissed for 43, Sutherland and Gault bowling very well, taking 4 wickets for ll runs and 3 for 20 respectively. In the return match at Ottawa on June lOth., Ashbury won the toss and went in, but were all out soon after for 22, Gault claiming 5 wickets for 4 runs, and Birks 4 for 2 runs. When time came the Selwyn House score stood at 78 for 4 wickets down, with Culver responsible for a fast yet steady 28, and Thompson and Fleming not out with 16 and 15 respectively. An innovation this year was an away fixture against the T.C.S. Junior School on june Znd. The team went down overnight and were most hospitably entertained by the boys and staff. The match started at ll o'clock with T.C.S. batting first and declaring at 69 for 5 wickets.. Selwyn House replied with 60 all out, giving a victory to T.C.S. on the first innings decision. In the 2nd, innings T.C.S. declared at 47 for 5 wickets, leaving Selwyn House an hour in which to make 57 runs. The high standard ofthe T.C.S. bowling and fielding, however, kept our score down to 33 for 9 wickets when stumps were drawn. Clllharatters. B. Lillfe: Captain 1937-8f9. An excellent fielder and a fine Captain who handled his bowling and field very well. His batting was unsteady through lack of defensive strokes, but he always hit very hard and had two good innings during the season. H. Gfzuft: l937f8f9. The most brilliant fielder in the team, and a fine bat with a shrewd eye for the right ball, but a tendency to knock up little catches through not getting up to the pitch. His slow bowling with a slight off' break was very effective. G. Gandalf: l937e8f9. A good fielder and a useful bat who was always safe for a few runs. YYith a little serious practice he should improve greatly next year. T. .B!flilC!0t'k.' l937f8f9. Very quick and accurate on the field, but never found his form at the wicket. With increased confidence he should improve next year. Il . F!6Illi7l.Q'.' 1938-9. A fine fielder, and a batsman with a good eye when he got going, but was too often the easy victim of a good length straight ball. B. N11tlzr1'fzz11d.- 1938-9. A fine star bowler round the wicket, and a good defensive opening bat. His strokes all round the wicket improved greatly during the season. R. Bi1'k.v.' l933f9. A very good all rounder. A hard-hitting left-hander, very good on the leg side. His medium right-hand bowling was consistently good throughout the season. 7. Tlzozzipxoil: l938f9. A forceful bar who topped the averages with 13.5. Had an excellent innings of 29 not out against L.C.C. His medium slow right hand bowling was a great asset to the team. . l35l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE lf. Balfon: 193259. Kept wicket consistently well, but tended to stand too far back from the wicket. A rather tentative bat who was safe for a few,- but only a few-, runs. IJ. C11lc'f'r: 193842. An excellent bat who found his form if he survived the first few overs. Improved steadily throughout the season. His 28 against T.C.S. was a very fine innings. Excellent in the field. R. Gofdhfoom: 193519. Quick and safe in the field. Being last on the batting list, he had little chalice to make many runs but was always cfgrtain of a few. Jfuuthall 1939 Played 3 ff 1Yon 3 Y Lost 5 Owing to the war the 1Yestmount Grounds were not available for our use this year. Our activities were therefore moved to the mountain where two pitches were laid out on the cricket ground. The new arrangement worked very well and many enjoyable games were played. The results are a fair picture of the season's football. -1 of the S matches were played by the Under 15 team which shared the honours in the home and home series with Ashbury and Lower Canada by winning one match against each. The promise of the previous season did not materialize as expected, and although a number of individual players ex- celled, in particular Blaiklock, Goodall, Thompson and Gault, the team work and com- bination were often ineffective. The opening match against L.C.C. was won 1-O, Gault scoring from a line shot in front of goal. In the return game, however, L.C.C. proved superior, winning 3-0. The home match against Ashbury, played on the L.C.C. ground by the courtesy of Mr. YYans- brough, ended in a 2-1 victory for Selwyn House. Thompson scored early in the second halt' to even up the score, and a few minutes later scored the winning goal from a penalty kick. In the return game at Ottawa Ashbury gained a 341 victory. Selwyn House were much handicapped by the absence of Gault at outside right. Ballon scored early in the game and Ashbury replied just before half time. In the second half Selwyn House played a good defensive game, but not sufficiently good to prevent Ashbury scoring twice more. Honours were also shared in the two Under 13 matches against I,.C.C. The first game was very even, no score coming until late in the second halt' when McMaster dribbled through the backs all by himself to score the only goal of the game. The second game was similarly even, remaining a scoreless tie until our defence cracked and L.C.C. scored two goals in the last five minutes. The l'nder 1-1 team lost to B.C.S. on the I,.C.C. ground by O-2. Black played an outstanding game at half and was awarded his colours . In the return match at B.C.S. a closely fought game ended in a 1-O victory for Bishop's, the goal being scored in the last few minutes. .no FOR THF. SCHUUI.

Blaiklock and Goodall, with their many years ex- perience of playing together, put .-Xird between them at Centre to form a very strong first line, that combined excellently. On the second line Ballon was a tower of strength, and was well supported by Wight and Jennings. Between them they collected seven of the season's goal total of thirteen. Black, Morgan, and Gallet shared the defence and did it extremely well. The first match against L.C.C. registered the only defeat, 1-6. The L.C.C. team was faster, heavier and more practised. :Xird tallied our only goal on a nice solo Ffort. The return match, played at the end of the season, was the best game of the year. Play- ing much more like a team, and at a fast pace throughout, Selwyn House tied the score at 2 all on a power play in the last minute of the third period, with a goal from Ballon, Goodall having scored earlier in the game. The home match against Ashbury was won 3-1, Goodall scoring two and Ballon adding the third. Gault in goal played an outstanding game and was unlucky not to get a shot out. The return at Ottawa, played in the Auditorium, was a fast and hard fought game which ended in a 2 all tie, Ballon netting the puck on each occasion. The remaining bnder 15 match was against liniyersity School and was won 5-1, Blaiklock and :Iird tallying one each, and Wlight three, all scored from smart passing in front of goal. 1331 FOR THF SCHOOL YEAR WSW - lf?-LU llUL'lxlW l 4'l .Wizrxtfil ll.

Blaiklock led League II with .-Xird in second place. In the inter-league play-off, Ballon beat Blaiklock, and .-Xird beat Goodall, leaving Ballon and .-Xird the finalists with Ballon coming out the winner, by 6 goals to 5 fovertimel. lffzffozzff Five: McDougall, Paterson I, NIcl3ermot, Hallward II, Seely, Stead. .!im .v I i:f': Paterson I, Nlathewson, Dobson, Shorey, Holland.

Ghz Singing Glass The Singing Class has been held on Tuesday and Friday afternoons during the last two terms. .-X11 the newcomers have shown considerable improvement as a result of the voice training which they have received and have also acquired a very fair knowledge ot' musical theory. During the summer term the class will again be held on Tuesday and Friday afternoons but at the earlier time of 3.-15 fe -1.-15 PII. We are glad to learn that former members of the class who have now gone on to boarding school have found their earlier training in the Singing Class very helpful and are doing good work in their School Choirs.
