SONII-I RIQMINISCI-YNCES Eighteen years ago the school, which up to that time had been known as Lucas's School , became Selwyn House. It remained in the same building at 452 Mackay Street and started under the new regime with about fifty-live boys. The school colours remained the same, black and yellow, and were, I believe, originally chosen because they were the colours of a well known racing stable. Working hours were not long in those days, and of the four classes which made up the school, only two came back in the afternoon, and on two days a week work stopped at ll:-IS A.hI., so that games could be played on the M.A.A.A. grounds between I2 and I o'clock. The hockey rink was then the entire surface of the skating rink, at that time a very large area, quite twice the length and three times the width of the Forum ice, and its size was supposed to give the home team a great advantage. In any case scoring was infrequent. The Canadian game of Rugger was played for several years, but was never a great success, and the Association game was substituted about 1915. The chief matches were with Loyola College .Iunior and NYickham House. By 1915 all the larger rooms in the School were used as class rooms and the base- ment had already been turned into a dining room, where a few boys lunched and enjoyed amongst various items on the menu those famous apple tarts which have become an in- Sflfllfltlll.
