FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1929- 1930 lt was somewhere about this time 119151 that owing to defective drains we had to turn out of the school for a matter of six or seven weeks. The Church of the Messiah came to our rescue and lent us the large Hall at the back of the Church where classes were held for a great part of the October term. 1Ye subsequently renewed acquaintance with that Hall on the several occasions that our annual Prize Givings were held there. Of masters in those comparatively early days land no longer at the Schoolj one remembers Mr. St. George, then a partner in the School, YI lform Mathematical master, and for a few years Scoutmaster. He left in 1917 to join up with the Forestry Corps, and is now a Professor in Cyprus. There was also Mr. Chapman, a man of numerous degrees, a good musician and scoutmaster. He afterwards, became Headmaster of McDonald High School at St..-Xnnes, and from there Vice Principal of St. Marks Training College, 1,ondon. Old boys will remember Mr. 1Yheeler, who produced a school magazine written, printed and bound by the boys with his assistance. The printing press was set up in the basement Hat of the house next the school and was in constant use for two or three years. There were, 1 think, two issues of that magazine but the erliort died when Mr. Wheeler left. The first woman on the statl' was Bliss Robinson, most patient of teachers, who began her reading classes in 1915 and continued until poor health compelled her to resign in 1928. ln 1920 the junior School on Sherbrooke Street was established, starting with about 50 small boys. For six years masters used to dodge the Sherbrooke Street traffic in their endeavours to be on time for their classes. ln 1926, however, when Mr. 1Vanstall took over the Senior House, this particular danger ceased and each house had its separate stall. ln 1929 Mr. Wanstall took over the junior School, and Selwyn House once more came under one Headmaster. ln conclusion it may be of interest to mention a few boys who distinguished them- selves in sport during the earlier years. Of hockey players those who stand out in one's memory are -1. Macintosh, C. Robertson, C. Nichol, G. Hutchison and C. F. Pacaud. There were few prominent football players, though many did well after leaving Selwyn House, notably C. Robertson. Track racing calls to mind XY. Glassco and il. Cape, and a most promising young boxer was J. Gilpin. Some mention, perhaps, should be made of Professor Hill, but these notes are al- ready too long and one requires space to do full justice to the subject. C. C. Nl. l-ll

Scout games and Rugby were played as usual on th: Mountain an.l in rainy weathsr Scou t games in doors. .-X few weeks before Christmas the Scout Toy Repair Workshop was opened and most of our scouts worked well repairing toys. For the Christmas good turn each patrol made up a hamper and delivered it to a poor family. l-iach scout did an individual good turn as well. The annual scout paper chase was held on the mountain, Mr. W'anstall kindly allowing the scouts a half-holiday. Both trails were bad,but an excellent feed made up for this slight defect. I-I .-X STI-1 R THR M 1930 The rirst scouting day of this term was devoted to hearing the good turns. On the l5th of January the annual trip to St. Marguerite came oH'. This trip was very kindly financed bv Mr. Russell Cowans. W'e left Mile lind on Saturday morn- ing arriving at St. Marguerite at about eleven thirty. We skie,l until lunch time aftzr which the hares went out to pick their trails for the paper chase on skis. Mr. XV21IlSf.1ll accompanied us, also Stanley Crowther, last years .-X.S.M. The hares were Bourne and Johnston, the other pair being Brodie and Bishop. Both trails were excellent and we had a splendid run. On Sunday afternoon we ski-biored to Cochands and back, a distance of about four miles. W'hen we got back Mr. McYitty called a meeting of the troop and promoted Brainerd from Troop Leader to .-X.S.M. and -lones was appointed Troop Leader. The leaders of the troop were now 4 .-Xsst.
