FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1939i 1940 We understand that Miss Bruce had intended to return to Canada from XYorthing, England, but was prevented from doing so by the war, and that she is engaged in Red Cross work at Bournemouth. bk :Ea Those of us who remember Dunn Lantier were glad to note that he had been ap- pointed .-X.D.C. to His Excellency the late Governor General. 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.

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.
