SELWY HOUSE scuooi. -- AGAZINE -- YOL. 4. FOR THF SCHOOL YEAR 1931-1931 4 SCHGOL OTES Since our last issue the School building has undergone a complete internal overhaul, and the renovations have added materially to our comfort. Any Old Boys who have not yet seen the new School would, we feel sure, be interested in it, and the Headmaster will be pleased to welcome them. Pi: NYe also have to record another improvement in the shape of the levelling and gravel- ling ofthe playground. Last year's bump at the west end of the rink has disappeared and we have had a consistently good surface of ice, weather permitting, throughout the season. An innovation has been the presentation by the School Dramatic Society of the Merchant of Venice, under the leadership of Nlr. Donald. An account of the play appears elsewhere. if X lil Mr. Donald, to whom much credit and thanks are due for his trouble and hard work in this connection, joined our Stall' last September. An old Rossalian, Mr. Donald obtained his M..-X. at McGill, and later studied at London Cniversity ll'lng,l Through the kindness of Mrs. XY. Stewart, Mr. XYanstall, Mr. Anstey, and Mr. Pat- tisson recently had the opportunity of inspecting Montreal from the air in a gyro-plane. They flew over the School and much enjoyed the trip. is ak Bk Old friends of Mr. Macaulay will be interested to hear that Mr. XYanstall met him last Summer at Aberdovey, XYales, and found him in the best of health and as keen on golf as ever. He has spent this winter in Italy. 94 ek ii Congratulations to Rodney Patch on winning a Bethune Scholarship of 560 at Trinity College School, Port Hope. IF UF is At the 1931 Closing Exercises of Westmount High School, Anthony Chapman's name was included in a list of specially mentioned pupils, who obtained sutiicient marks to entitle them to Scholarships, but unfortunately had to forfeit these on account of non- residence, or because they had not lived in Niestmount the stipulated two years. Congratulations, Chapman Y We hear that Arthur Campbell, who is now in Form 4-A at Upper Canada College, Toronto, continues to do well. He came first in the Xmas term and exams, and in athletics made the junior Hockey and Football teams. He is now an accomplished skier, coming second in the School Ski race, and is a member of the Toronto Ski Club. Keep it up, Arthur? l 1 l

SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Congratulations to Frank Nobbs on his stout running performances at McGill last Autumn. On the Intermediate Team against R.M.C. he ran his best race in the Relay. As anchor man, he had to run the last half mile, and in spite of a handicap of several yards at the start, caught his man, winning the race for McGill. He also won the -H0 yards Ctime, 56 secs.l and came second in the Half-mile. ,li ,ls Pk A pleasant innovation this year has been a Hockey match between some fathers and the School on the School rink. This game was much enjoyed by players and spectators alike, and caused some amuse- ment. The fathers may have lost some of their youthful agility, but they gave the young- sters a good game, and took a few tosses with dignity I The game ended in a win for the School by 9 goals to 6. The parents included Messrs. Philip Mackenzie, Fred Johnson, IYalter blolson, Ellis Mackenzie, Douglas McMaster, :Xlan Magee, and Armand Chevalier. We hope that this may become an annual fixture, as Mr. P. Mackenzie has kindly pro- mised to present a Challenge Cup. 51 Pk wk The Iiditor's thanks are due to all those who have been kind enough to help him in the compilation of the 1931-32 issue of the Magazine. Their efforts have been much appreciated. elf Pk 54 A pleasant feature has been the receipt from the boys of a number of promising articles, and we would like to take this opportunity of informing our older readers that these are, in the main, the etlorts of quite young boys, and that they have undergone very little editing. SCHOOL PRIZES The prizes last year were kindly presented by Mrs. Hugh Peck at the conclusion of the Sports on the M..-XA..-X. Ground, at IYestmount, on .Iune llth. YI. .-X. Lafleur .-X. DI. Heilig C.
