I cannot tell you how deeply I appreciated receiving a gift from you all. The cocktail shaker will be used when we have Fathers' Matches and other Sports gatherings at my School, the cheque will buy something that will be useful to the School, and a lasting reminder of the many good friends to whom I was so sorry to say good- bye at Selwyn House. I hope that many of you will come to see me whenever you come to England. We will always try to find a bed for anyone from S.I-I., provided too many don't come at the same time I Best wishes to you all, and again many thanks. 3F Congratulations to the following:-H YY.H.P.

OBITUARY lt is with the deepest regret that we note the deaths of.- Dr. H. M. Little, father of Pat, Michael, and Bryan Little, and a leading doctor of Montreal. Ian Nichol, brother of Cecil and Tryon Nichol, un- fortunately killed in a distressing accident in British Columbia. Miss M. Gascoigne, late Principal of the Study School for Girls, Montreal.

Craig, father of Bob Craig, noted surgeon of this city. lt has been a pleasure to the lfditor, or perhaps we should say the Compiler, of this edition ofthe magazine, to undertake the task this year. This has been lightened enorm- ouslv by the boys themselves who have voluntarily submitted a much larger number of contributions than usual. This is a most encouraging feature. We have explained to them that it would have been impossible to print everything submitted, but we can assure those who do not sec their efforts in print that the latter have been appreciated just as much as those of successful contributors. Against the names of iz!! who have tried to assist we have an extra mark chalked up l livery bov who has sent in any article, however humble, has done something to help the School. 'l'hat's the great thing, and the right spirit. To you all, not forgetting the Old Boys who have helped us, very many thanks. l+l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR I93-I-1935 SCHOOL PRIZES .

The Bamtts Victor Ludorum Barry Ryan DISCIPLINE I do not believe that boys can be induced to apply themelyes with vigour, and, what is so much more diflicult, with perseverance, to dry and irksome studies, by the sole force of persuasion and soft words. Much must be done and much must be learnt by children, for which rigid discipline and known liability to punishment are indispensable as means. It is, no doubt, a very laudable eH'ort in modern teaching to render as much as possible of what the young are required to learn easy and interesting to them. But when this principle is pushed to the length of not requiring them to learn anything but what has been made easy and interesting, one ofthe chief objects of education is sacrificed.

During the line weather the Scouts met either on the Mountain or on the School playground. When it rained we held our meetings at Troop Leader Barott, and Patrol Leaders Barclay, P. Little, and Lewis passed in their Sphinx Training course just hefore Easter. In May a few of our Scouts acted as ushers at the Montreal Repertory Thea.tre's play, The Inspector General , at the Victoria Hall. A number of Selwyn House Scouts marched in the Queen's Birthday Parade on May 26th. On May 30th the whole of the Troop ushered at the Boy Scouts' Annual Spring Display at the Percival Molson Stadium. The Troop had its annual half-holiday on the Mountain on June 12th, when we had an exciting paper chase. and took our tea on the Cricket ground. .1'wfzrd.ff0r 1933e3-l: The Philip Mackenzie Cup, Inter-Patrol Competition: - .-Xwakus rox 19336-l. f Buffalo Patrol: Patrol Leader YY.

The Troop began its activities with meetings held on the Mountain. For the first month there were six patrols, as during the previous year. The newly appointed Troop Leader was YY. Barclay, and the Patrol Leaders were D. Lewis, C.T. Johnson, P. Mackenzie, H. Patch, J. Hodge, and E. Chambers. Membership increased to a total of 52, including Scouts and Recruits, necessitating a reorganization. It was decided to divide the Troop into halves, each half consisting of four patrols. Boys from the 3rd Form and higher Forms went into the 'A Yellow half, and boys below the 3rd entered the Blacks U. Experienced Scouts were appointed as Leaders for the Black half. Each half was to meet once a week. The new plan proved a success. Sroulnzzzrter - Mr. S. GREENLEES. Troop Leader - W. BARCLAY. HSELLOVV Half Palrols Patrol Leader: Sefozzdx. Liox C.T. Johnson M.

Winters l9l SIELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE With the advent of cold weather the Troop transferred its meetings to Scout H.Q. The Patrol Leaders attended Part I of the Sphinx Course, the following boys successfully passing the course: C.T. Johnson, P. Mackenzie and Hodge. As Christmas approached and the Hall at Scout was utilized for the annual Toy Shop, the Troop met at Kildonan Hall, Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul. This privilege was much appreciated. A voluntary subscription was taken up in the Troop, the proceeds being used to purchase Christmas hampers for unfortunate families. Gifts of out-grown toys from the Troop accompanied the hampers. After the Christmas holidays the Troop commenced the Hockey season, the Yellows and Blacks playing on alternate weeks. The Yellows at each Hockey meeting organized two teams with substitute players. A game was played with St. George's Troop, which we lost, l-4. The Blacks played a schedule of Inter-patrol games. At the end of the season the Owls and Beavers were deadlocked in a tie for first place. A play-off game resulted on March llth, which the Owls won after stubborn resistance on the part of the Beavers. The Fagles took third place, with the Cougars fourth. On Friday evening February 22nd, the T.L., P.Ls, and Scoutmaster attended the annual P.I.s. Banquet at the YYindsor Hotel, thoroughly enjoying the entertainment and excellent speeches. Farly in March the Troop had its annual ski week-end at Ste. Marguerite. On Saturday the 2nd, after a hearty lunch at the Alpine Inn, the Troop skied to Mr. Arthur Purvis's house. There a closely contested slalom competition was run, the course being laid out on the hill in front of the house. K. Porter and T. Johnson won silver and bronze medals respectively for first and second places among the senior Scouts, M. Little and J. Lindsay winning similar awards among the juniors. After the slalom the Troop much enjoyed the refreshments provided by the generous hospitality or Mr. and Mrs. Purvis, to whom go our warmest thanks. At the Inn that evening the Troop played a series of rousing games, every one putting forth his utmost effort to win for his team. .After an heroic struggle the team captained by T. Johnson emerged victorious. A sound sleep followed, and the Troop rose re- freshed the next morning and ready for another active day. After breakfast we ski-jored to the Chalet Cochand where we watched a skiing exhibition on a nearby hill. The Troop then ski-jored back to the .Alpine Inn in time for lunch. That afternoon the Troop split up into small groups which sallied forth over the various ski trails near the Inn. At the end of the afternoon we gathered together at the Inn, to recount the day's experiences and consume an earnestly desired supper. Finally at nightfall the Troop drove to the Station in sleighs, and entrained for the railway journey home. The Troop photograph was taken at Headquarters on March 6th. The whole Troop continues the year's activities with keen anticipation of the arrival of the Chief Scout, Lord Baden-Powell, who will visit Montreal in May. S. G. ll0l FOR THF SCHOOL YF.-XR IUR4- V435 My Grip to Qlaska. Un the I-lth of 'Iulv W3-I I left Tacoma, I'.S.l-X. on the 5.3. Aleutian for Seward, .-Xlaska. Three days out of' 'Iiacoma we arrived at Ketchikan, the second largest citv in A-Xlaska. This city is verv interesting, so I got orl' the boat and walked along the nearest street. :Xt length I arrived at a creek where there was a salmon run, and, never having seen one before, I stopped and watched, and there w ere easily a thousand hsh there. ,-XII of a sudden a fish swam up the run, and then another and another, but bv this time I looked at mv watch and saw that we had only an hour lc-fr, so I headed towards town and looked at 'X f . WRANKEIEI. the totem poles that lined the streets and then went back to the ship. :Xt T o'clock that night we arrived at Wlrangel, which I think is the most interesting town in Alaska. As I alighted a few Indian children ran up to me and asked me to buy some garnetsg as there were about six children I was out about fifty cents I .-Xfter having had a look at the stores and the totem poles outside, I proceeded to a Chief Shakes house. His wife, they said, had a hole in her nose, so I thought I might as well have a look at her, and she did look funny! In XYrangel they have a theatre, and the latest picture was about two vears old. .-Xfter leaving YYrangel we passed through the IYrangel Narrows which are so narrow that I thought the boat would never get through, but it did. Ifarlv next morning we arrived at Petersburg or Little Norway , so called because most of the people there are Norwegians. The place was so dirty that I didnlt bother getting off. Next morning we reached Juneau, and immediately hired a taxi to take us to the Mendenhall Glacier which is quite a wav from the town. On the wav to the glacier we llll SIQIAYYN HOUSE SCHOGI. NIAGAZIXF saw the Government House, as Juneau is the new capital and the biggest city in Alaska. Wihen we arrived at the glacier we were so dazzled by its splendour that we couldn't speak for a moment: in places it was a bright blue, and in others it was a paler shade. After leaving the glacier we went back to the town and I bought some totem poles as gifts for friends at home. and then returned to the boat just in time to hear the I5 minutes whistle blow, Xext morning we passed Alont Saint blias, lN,l1l111 feet above sea level: it is very magnificent with its snow covered peak and rugged grey sides. truly' a very beautiful sight as you gaze at it over a dancing blue sea. In the afternoon we saw Alount Ifairweatlier, 15.411111 feet alioxe sea level: it isalso vqyx' licglutlt-Llly lvllf Hot SU llllt' LIS SAINT l'llLlS. That night we arrived at Cordova, and as soon as I got mtl. the boat I visited the salmon and crab canneries, which were not working, but the foreman gave me ll can nf salmon, and after that I went back to the ship and to lied. 14, -,,gQ2.,,i, ,, X -k FIYF FINGER RAPIDS Next morning we found rhar we were detained at Cordova until the next boat, the SS. Yukon, of the same line as the 5.5. Aleutian. After a week of beautiful sunshine and hardly' anything to do, as soon as the S.S. Yukon arrived it began to rain. Next morning we reached the Colombia Glacier, which comes right down into the sea. This glacier is one and a half miles wide and about fifty' miles long. The curious thing about it is that when the boat whistles big pieces of ice break off and fall into the water. XYhen we left this place we continued on to a town called Seward, and here we slept on board until our train left at T a.m. next day. At 7.15 a.m. our train pulled d a lv all Seward were there to see it off, as there are only two trains a week. out, an ne r. At middav we arrived at a place called Anchorage where we lunched. llll FOR THIS SC!-TOOI. YEAR 1934-1035 We then continued through the Alaskan Range, a very magnihcent range ot mount- ains. That night we stopped at a place called Curry, where we slept at a hotel built over the station. Next morning promptly at seven cfrloek we pulled out of furry for Alcliinlcy Park. Klt. Nlcliinley, 25,0011 feet above sea level, is to my mind the most beautiful mountain l have ever seen. It is covered with snow from base to peak, and there are two immense glaciers on it. Here we went on a trip in search of w ild animals and saw a few caribou, niany mount- ain sheep, and ptarmigan. We also took two all-day horse trips and visited thekennels where there were some huskies, the heaxiest of which weighed about two hundred pounls After a week at Alcliinley Park, we left on the train for l5airbanks, and arrived tltere at 9 p.m. that night. W-w-same M ...T 'H , Ag .. U ,.,5r,-1 A 5 - ff.: at A . ef fs r - . - ,Q ,ft.g gi.. ,e., - . . ' 1' ' .f CARIBOL' Next morning I met one of the boys from the SS. Aleutian, and we went out to the Aerodrome and saw the l'.S. Navy's new Martin Bombers which were making a tour of Alaska. During my stay at Fairbanks I went to two gold mines and visited the Aerodrome several times. After leaving Fairbanks we journeyed south to Nenana which is situated on the Tanana River Where we were to board the 5.5. Yukon for Dawson, Yfli. At noon we left the harbour, the paddle wheel commenced to revolve, and we were on our way. Next day in the early morning we stopped at Tanana where we loaded wood tthe boat burnt wood instead of coal or oill, and then we continued up the Yukon River. On our journey we stopped at many small villages which were chiefly populated by Indians. The principal villages on our trip were Fort Yukon, Circle, Eagle and Tanana. ll-fl SINILWYN HOUSE SCHOOL INIAGAZINE One afternoon we sighted what we thought was a big log, but when we reached it we found that it was a big brown bear, and it turned around and growled at the boat. At Fort Yukon we were in the Arctic Circle. Circle City is the smallest city I have ever seen, but as it is at the other end of the road from Fairbanks to Circle City it is quite an important place. :Xt Circle we loaded on a big twelve ton pile-driver and, as they were loading it, it nearly fell overboard, and everybody thought the ship was going to sink. liagle was the last town on the Alaskan portion of the Yukon River. :Xt Ifagle there were pansies an inch and a half in diameter. Next day we arrived at Dawson City, the capital of the Yukon Territory and the base of the gold on the Klondike River. It has a population of nine hundred, compared with fifty thousand in 1893, the year of the Gold Rush on the Klondike. During our stay at Dawson we visited the gold dredges which are the second largest in the world. W'e also went to a show here, the price for grown-ups was 31.00, children Cunder 161 15 cents, and children under 10 got in for nothing. We left Dawson for Whitehorse on the SS. Casca, which is slightly larger than the SS. Yukon. That night we arrived at Stuart, a small village at the mouth of the Stuart River where we loaded wood. There were some barges alongside laden with bags of silver ore which had just come from Mayo on the Stuart River. Next day we saw numerous caribou cross the River ahead of us, and at night we arrived at the foot of some rapids where we picked up a cable that was fastened at the top of the falls and attached to our winch: when the winch went round we were drawn slowly up the rapids, the only danger being that if the cable snapped it might kill somebody and seriously damage the boat. Next afternoon we arrived at the foot of the Five lfinger Rapids 'lg here again we were towed up by the winches and as it was daytime it was much more interesting than in the cold night. The same afternoon I washed my clothes, and just as I got well into the job and covered with suds I looked up, when, click, and there was a lady with a camera in her hand, and she had just taken a picture of me washing. I fear I blushed l Next morning after breakfast we arrived at Whitehorse, the second largest town in the Yukon Territory. That morning we went on a drive to Miles Canyon at the head ofthe YYhitehorse Rapids. On the way we had to travel along the railroad track, as the railroad track and the road were one. I thought it would be awkward if we niet a train,but fortunately we didn't. W'e visited the Whitehorse Rapids and I took some photographs. I couldn't imagine how the Gold Rushers ever got down them in a boat. The rapids were even worse than the Lachine Rapids, which are considered pretty bad. W'hen we arrived at Niles Canyon we saw two lines of wooden track and we asked the driver what they were. I-Ie said that in the Gold Rush days some man had made these tracks and built a cart and put it on them, and had taken the people in his contiv- ance, which was pulled by a horse, along the portion from Miles Canyon to Wlhitehorse. I-Ie charged about two dollars a mile, and the journey is almost ten miles l After seeing Miles Canyon, we came back, and as it was about ten o'clock, my friends and I went on a fishing trip to VVhitehorse Rapids. After everybody except another man and myself 1141 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1034-1935 had caught a fish or two, we had lunch, and resumed fishing with the exception of four of us. We made a fire and incidentally broke a law, which was unknown to us, by cutting down a tree. After everybody had lished and caught something, with the same exception as before, we had supper, and I never ate so much in all my life l We got back much quicker than we came, thanks to a short cut that we tried. Next morning we left for Carcross and thence to Atlin by train and boat. At Carcross we had lunch and left on the S.S. Tutshi for Taku landing. YVhen we arrived there we boarded a train that took us on a two mile journey to the other side of the lsthmus and then got on another boat and were soon in Atlin. During our stay at Atlin we went to a gold mine and climbed a mountain which was said to be three thousand feet from where we were situated, and by the time we arrived at the top we were nearly dead with thirst, so as soon as we saw a pool we took OH: our shoes and stockings and jumped into the water, but as we touched it we shrieked and jumped out and examined our feet to see if they weren't frozen oljfl After lunch we went on to the peak and there below us was a lake, and l dropped a stone right into it as it lay beneath us. Next day we went to Taku Landing and gljt on the SS. Tutshi and left for Carcross and Skagway. After travelling along the shore of Lake Bennett we finally arrived at Bennett and had a hurried lunch. XYhen we were about an hour out of Bennett we stopped at Yvhite Pass which is on the divisional line between Canada and the l'nited States. After seeing the monument and the two i'lags,we resumed our -iourney,and steamed up Skagway's main street to the station. YVe then boarded the S.S. Princess Louise, and next morning arrived at Juneau, and so began our homeward journey to Montreal. A.H., Form 5-B. Interns In Quebec Anybody in Windsor Station at a quarter past eight in the morning on Saturday February 9th might have wondered at the number of boys with skis and bags, that had congregated at the Osborne Street entrance. We were all Selwyn l-louse Boys, and were in the charge of Mr. Yvanstall, Mr. Wiseman, and Mr. Green- lees. A special car had been reserved for us, so all the baggage was taken along, and emptied into it. After a journey of over two hours and one half, we arrived at Montebello, and were taken in sleighs to the Log Chateau. The numerous teams of dog-sleighs at the station greatly interested everyone. YYhen we hadsettled down, we went into lunch,and at 2p.m. left for the place where both the Senior and Junior Slaloms were held. The party had been divided into two groupsg over twelve, and under twelve. The Senior Slalom came first, each competitor having two turns. The average time was then taken. The Junior Slalom followed, and was similar to the Senior, except that instead of having a curve at the beginning, it went straight down. ll5l Slil.WYX llOl'Sl-1 SCHOOL MAH,-XZINP.

About three-quarters of the way through, Mr. YVanstall got up, and said a few words, and stated that Mr. Shepherd, the ski-manager, had consented to present the prizes. Then a great clapping ensued, and after it was all over, three hearty cheers resounded through the building, praising the kindness of the club. We were taken to the station in sleighs, and were soon on our way back to Montreal, all very tired, but delighted with the week-end that we had just spent. eRESULTSh SENIOR JUMPING F11-if: Hume XYright Sccomf: Lester Tomlinson SLALOINI Firff: Philip Mackenzie Sccomf: Toto Johnson DOXYNI-III,I, Fifxvl: Toto Johnson Sccomf: Philip lNIackenzie JUNIOR JUMPING Fi1'.fl: YYilliam Strong Second: Fred Peverley SI..-XLOM First: Richard Tomlinson .S'cc011d: YYilliam Strong DOXYNI-IILI, Fir.v1'.'

D Form 6 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Zin QBIIJ brltnpn ibnuse Sutbunl Bop in Satnitgerlanh Hugh Peck kindly sends us this letter, and some notes, from Villars sur Ollon, which we think will be of much interest. -- Yillars sur Ollon is situated in the midst of mountains, which stretch to the north, south, east and west. The town lies on a slight slope which runs down to the Rhone Valley. On the opposite side of this Valley is the beautiful snow capped Dent du Midi. My School is situated about a quarter of a mile below the town. It is a large-sized chalet of recent construction on an open site, which commands a beautiful view. The lite at the School is suitable for boys of all ages. The day begins at half past seven, petit-dehieuner U at eight, Classes from nine to one, lfor those who are working for the McGill Matriculation, the others have lessl. In the afternoon we either play football or hockey, according to the season, till four o'clock, when we resume our classes. Vie only have an hour or two of work in the afternoon. At seven we have supper and then finish our homework. laiveryone is in bed by ten o'clock. On Saturday morning, during the summer months, we were given a ruck-sack con- taining our dinner, and we would set out for z. hike to some neighbouring place of interest. Sometimes we climbed the mountains, and sometimes descended to the Rhone valley. One of the longest and most interesting trips we made was to St. Maurice, a distance ot about forty kilometres. There we visited the famous grotto which is a kilometre long, with a beautiful water-fall at the end. .-Xt the church at St. Maurice we saw some ancient relics of Charlemagne, and many other things of historic interest. Now that the snow has come we spend Friday nights waxing and preparing our skis. On Saturday and Sunday we either walk or take the train to Bretaye which is five hundred metres higher than Yillars. There the skiing is excellent as there are many fine tracks both for beginners and the best of skiers. One of the most popular descents is from the top of the Chamoissaire, the altitude of which is twenty-two hundred metres, to Bretaye, a descent of four hundred metres, the record for which is less than one minute. It takes almost an hour to climb. It is not necessary to take the train back to Yillars, as there is a very good track by which one can ski down, at a speed much greater than that of any mechanical conveyance. The School plays in the Swiss Hockey League. The hockey season has just started, but before long we will have our team in condition, and will be playing against other schools and clubs. Seven difgferent nationalities are represented - English, Irish, Norwegian, Persian, Russian, Dutch, and Canadian. NOfIESf1'0m my 1I'f07'.V.' -V Sept. 26, The snow is getting lower on the Mountain Peaks and also there is more of it. I look out upon the Dent du Midi from my room here. just now it is different shades of pink, copper and brown. The mountains to the west show up black against the gold of the sun which has already set. ln the Rhone valley little wisps of mist Hoat around like smoke. They are not the kind that block the view, but form little twisty shapes over the river. The snow capped peaks are turning gold and pink, the air has a wonderful scent at this time of the morning. l18l FOR THE SCHOOI. YEAR 193-I-1935 Oct. l Yesterday there was a big hill climb race at Montreux, so Francis, Craig and I decided to see it. We left here early and walked up and down mountain cliifs until we reached Aigle, which is twelve miles of very rough walking. At Aigle we boarded a train for Montreux and from there we went to Glion by funiculaire- The trip from Montreux to Glion was very wonderful as it was all up huge cliffs which towered above Montreux and the lakeg we walked a little way from Glion to one of the sharpest corners of the race and there took our stand. The iirst car sizzled round the corner with much grinding, bumping and screeching at 2.30 p.m., leaving behind it acrid smells of exhaust - From then till 4.30 p.m. the performance was repeated by 42 other cars. There were no bad accidents although one lad in a Masarati took the corner of? a house near by. These drivers change gears without even looking at the clutchg they just slam them into place. After the race we again descended to Montreux and took the six o'clock train on La Ligne Simplon for Bex. From Bex we took an electric car to Villars. It was a frightfully crude invention which worked like a centipede, and when it came to a bump the thing would bend and all the joints come out of place on one side, and then again on the other side l We were very surprised to get back to Yillars at all. Dec. 23 I was up at Bretaye all day, the snow was marvellous- YYe went up the Chamois- saire. It took an hour's steady climbing to reach the top. From there we looked down upon all the nations of the earth ! There was visibility for miles. We had a stop watch with us to time our descent which we did in 1 minute and -17 seconds, tho' the snow was deep and heavy. I have purchased a pair of climbing skins. These are made of St. Lawrence River Seal Skins and strips of the fur are fastened to the under parts of the skis so that one moves forward easily but not backward. They permit the wearer to climb very easily and are essential for long trips up steep mountains. We have just played our first hockey match against a team from Paris, and during the week we will play a series of games with other teams in the Swiss League.

Ardently and passionately in language that would have turned Shakespeare and Gray green with envy, I told her of my passion for her. But the dear girl would have none of me, and as a gentle hint not to press my suit further, she had Jenkins forcibly eject me from the house at the point of his number eleven boot. When I woke up ten minutes later, after a refreshing nap in the gutter, I painfully got to my feet, collected my loose change and my thoughts, and expressively muttered that most expressive of words, Curses . After thus giving vent to my feelings, I proceeded along the street and decided there was nothing left for me to do but to commit suicide. I-low, though ? That was the question. I remembered that my brother had a cap pistol, but as my aim is bad I decided not to end my life with firearms, besides, I had forgotten to apply to Chief I.alonde for a pistol licence. I thought of throwing myself off the new bridge, but as I can't swim a stroke, I discarded this idea as too dangerous. Next on the suicidal programme came poison, but not being able to distinguish between red ink and castor oil, I finally gave up this notion too. Then a brain wave struck me. I would freeze myself to death I Wonderful idea, I told myself. :Ks a matter of fact it was the first brain wave that had come my way in years: they just don't seem to take to me. .-Xfter linding that the fi-igidaire was too small to admit my slightly capacious person, I betook myself with nothing but my toothbrush and underwear to the top of the Mountain, where, after much physical exertion, I succeeded in digging myself into the snow. As it was twenty below zero, I soon realized that I should have brought my big sweater with me, and after the temperature had fallen another twenty degrees I decided to go home and get my fur coat, but found I couldn't budge out of my snow hole. When it had reached five thousand below zero iso it seemed to mel, I began to think of roaring lires, and almost wished I was the devil's chief stoker. Then, by sheer will power, I tried to imagine that I was in the Iiimpire State building, and that it was a mass of flame from top to bottom. This proving no good, I tried to picture myself in the most embarrassing situations I could think of, and succeeded in getting hot about the neck, but even that did not greatly aid the rest of my anatomy. I looked at my lingers, they were as purple as an undertaker's best blinds, and as swollen as the Mississippi at Hood tide. With a sigh I closed my eyes and wished I had some cards to play Patience to while away the time. By a frightful lack of foresight, for which I heartily cursed myself in the best of language, I had even omitted to bring my dice with me. Then my mind went numb, even number than usual, and after halt' an hour my soul parted company with my body, and went down to pay a visit to its friend, Mephisto. In the morning they found me, a stark, stirf corpse, with only an under-shirt and toothbrush as covering ..,.. S.I..L., 10.8.1 l 201 FOR THE SCHOOL YF.-XR 1934-1935 Skiing Skiing is a comparatively young sport, and it is still developing at a rapid rate. :Xt the end of the War the devotees of the sport increased greatly in numbers, and the pastime gained many more enthusiasts. The greatest development of skiing took place a few years ago. This was because there was plenty of interest in racing. At these races, people of all kinds of styles and standards were observed to be able to ski in any condition of snow and on any gradient. A good skier on a fast, steep, long run will have a good elastic running position, so as to ride any kind of bumps. He or she ought to be able to turn, whenever necessary, and also be able thoroughly to master the poles. Fvery year there are many races for the ski-racing nations which compete. They are often run across country, and in Switzerland the down-hill racing is very fast and difiicult. To acquire the technique of good skiing requires many hours of practice, and calls for rigid training. There are many turns. For deep snow there is the Telemark, and in a crusty snow the Christiana and the .iump turn. Many of the mails in lfurope and on this side are carried by skiers from point to point, and over long distances the mail is relayed. The ski has been used recently for military purposes in Sweden, and it has also been the mode of travel for years in the Northern part of Furope. Skis are often made ofash, hickory, maple, and birch. There are two or three types of skis, the racing, the plain wide travelling ski, and a jumping ski. The racing ski is very narrow, and is I'lOt good in heavy snow, because it sinks. The skis for heavy snow are wide ones and do not sink as much as the racing ones. The jumping ski is quite wide and is very heavy. It usually has three grooves down the centre instead of the ordinary one. For the bottom of skis when a person is travelling up a long steep gradual slope there is a seal skin which enables the person to climb straight up instead of going up side- ways. Dilgferent kinds of wax are used for varying snow conditions, and in racing especially, a great deal depends on the selection of the proper wax. A ski is very useful and faster than a snowshoe in the open, but in a thickly wooded stretch the snowshoe is much more con- venient and easier to manteuvre. YYhen falling is inevitable an experienced skier will not tighten his muscles, but he will relax, so as to avoid injury. I.H.M., fForm 5-:X l.

He was a very strong character, stern and rather haughty. Because of his sternness and bravery he was sometimes called the Iron Duke. He was the youngest son of the Earl of Mornington, and, like the heroic Nelson, was a delicate but courageous boy. :Xt the age of nineteen he had become an ensign in the British Army, and from that moment his promotion was rapid. In the Spanish Penin- sular 1Yars he won victory after victory against the French forces, and in the famous battle of Waterloo he played a lion's part in the final overthrow of Napoleon's power. If it had not been for Wellington's achievement at Waterloo, the map of Europe might be entirely different from what it turned out to be. Long after his military retirement he took part in the government of Britain, being Prime Minister from 1828 to 1830. He was born in 1767, died in 1850, and was buried at St. Paul's Cathedral. He ranks among the greatest of Britain's heroes. THE CHJRJCTER I DISLIKE: GRIGORY EFIJIOVICH R.1SPI.'TI.V: Rasputin was born in Siberia in 1870 and died in 1916. He was a Siberian peasant who had no education at all and who later became a monk. He was one of the most mysterious ligures in modern times. Rasputin swayed men, women, and nations by the power of his eyes. Most people thought that he practised hypnotism. Rasputin was a very big man physically, but, though childlike in some ways, he was very crafty and superhuman in his appetites and energies. Grigory had complete power over the Czar and Czarina of Russia, and was almost worshipped by many people. He had a curious belief that he must sin and sin,so that he might repent and have forgiveness. Rasputin was considered such a menace and traitor to Russia that some of the nobles decided to get rid of him, but all their attempts proved utter failures. However, in December 1916 Rasputin attended a supper-party at the house of a Prince. Here he was half poisoned, but since this made little or no ellfect upon him, his host with the assist- ance of others, shot and stabbed him several times. They then bound him hand and foot and threw him into the Neva River. Rasputin's body was recovered soon after, and was buried by the Czarina.

This is the land of the Fskimo. The climate is very cold, even in summerg the sun is never high in the sky. In winter. the sun never rises at all. During these months people often have to melt snow for drinking water. I.iving is very hard. The Ifskimo builds his hut of snow: this is called an Igloo. The Howers of the north are very pretty.

W'e went down the St. I,avvrence river, through the straits of Belle Isle, north on the Atlantic ocean, just otl' the coast of Labrador, through Hudson strait to Hudson Bay. There we got into a gasoline launch, about hfty feet long, which we had brought with us. W'e used this for some time exploring among the islands, hut one day, late in August, our boat was caught and jammed in the floating ice. It sank and our supplies were lost. We had to walk over the ice to the shore. This land was the most northerly part of the province of Quebec. We walked around the shore, depending on what we could kill for food. Finally, in October, we arrived at Moose Factory in James Bay. There at the Hudson Bay Depot, we were given food, clothes and shelter. One of our party was sick and laid up for six weeks. Then they outfitted us with dog-teams and provisions. W'e arrived at Cochrane, in northern Ontario, on New Year's day.

MAGAZINE Zbernes To my mind, a man who dies bravely when he has to die, is not such a hero as the man who sacrilices his life to save the lives of others. That is why one of my heroes is Dollard des Ormeaux, who many years ago saved the little settlement of Montreal from destruction. This is the story: :X tribe of live or six hundred Iroquois in war paint was reported by friendly Indians to be paddling down the Ottawa river towards Montreal. Dollard with seventeen young men Cas no others could be spared! set out to meet the enemy. XYhen they reached a good spot for defence, some forty miles up the river, they built a stockade, and awaited the coming of the Indians. The next day, the foremost canoes hove into view, and seeing the small band behind the stockade rushed to destroy it. After a long battle, every white man was killed, but for every white man who fell ten savages met their death. The Iroquois braves held a council of war and decided that if eighteen men could withstand them so long, they would never be able to capture Montreal, and they turned around and paddled back to their wigwams with only eighteen scalps at their belts instead of those of an entire settlement. Drake is another of my heroes. He was perhaps the greatest Seaman of all times. IYhen you think of Drake, you think ofa very brave man full oflove for his country. He hated the Spaniards for their tyranny over the seas, and English ships. He was feared by every Spanish ship and town, and was known to the Spaniards as Iil Draque The Dragon Drake never touched a woman or an unarmed man, and his soldiers had strict orders to obey that Law. He was the first Englishman to sail around the YYorld. In the year 1533, Drake sailed to meet the Spanish Armada, composed of 129 ships manned with 27,000 men, and armed with 2,000 cannon, the English had just over half that number of ships and less than half the men, but they were victorious. In 159-1 Drake made his last voyage. He died of fever, and was buried in the sea he loved so well, and which had borne him to so many victories. Joan of .-Xrc is the greatest of French heroines. She was born in Domremy,a little village on the banks of the Meuse, during the Hundred Years IYar, when English and Burgundians were lighting against the rightful King of France. One day in a vision she saw the white and shining Saints calling to her. She was told to save France, to go to the Dauphin and crown him king. She went to the captain of the town and told him that she must see the Dauphin to help him get back his throne, but the captain would not listen to her. Joan was undismayed. She begged her uncle's help and he persuaded the captain to have her escorted to Chinon where the Dauphin held his Court. The Dauphin listened to Ioan's exhortation, and in the year 1-129 the maid led an army to raise the siege of Orleans. The battle swayed this way and that, but never did the English Fire whenjoan came on. She led her troops to the wall, they swarmed over and recaptured the town. Then Joan went to Rheims and stood by the Dauphin while he was being crowned. But he would not let her return home, she must stay and fight the rest of his battles. Finally, at Compiegne, the maid was captured by the Burgundians and sold to the English, and was burnt in the Rouen market place as a witch. It would be impossible to write in a few pages about all the heroes of the world, these three are the ones I always think of first. They all possess the same quality, love of country. IC., Form III. l 36 1 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1934-1935 The Jfatbers' jllklattb 1935 An exciting game with a moral - that you are never too old to play hockey, as the School learnt to their bitter experience! This year the Fathers, for the first time, came out of the fray the victors by 7 goals to 2. Weight and experience used to their full under the skillful leadership of Mr. Philip Mackenzie, literally crashed through the Selwyn defence, even to the extent of belying the prophecies of all the experts and scoring 5 goals in the last period. For the Fathers Mr. Magor was a tower of strength which obtruded itself into the School's most cunning tactics, while Mr. Culver in goal, stopping hot ones from Tomlinson, Hale and Phil Mackenzie, was a joy to watch. Mr. Paterson and Mr. Che- valier were the mainstay of the attack, each scoring 2 goals. For the School all played a strong though rather ineffective game. There was too little passing, which alone could have defeated the slower and heavier opposition. The fowards made some fine shots, while for the defence Barclay, Russel, and Hodge all worked hard, and Johnston came up the ice once to score a goal in the second period. Molson in goal was rather bewildered by the mass rush tactics of the opposition forwards. The School's only other goal was scored by Barclay. The scorers for the Fathers were:4 Mr. Savage ll J, Mr. Hanson ll 5, Mr. Paterson C2 J, Mr. Chevalier 12.3, and 1 from Molson's skate after a melee in front of our goal. Mr. VYalter Molson refereed the game with skill and due parental tolerance. The teams were as follows:- Thr Fzzilzerf: G. Hanson, A. Chevalier, :X.F. Culver, P. Mackenzie, Johnstone, H.lVI.

Ash- bury made the useful score of 157 not out for one innings, and we replied with 92 all out for two innings. A. Magee put up a sterling defence, but no one could stay with him for long. J. Hodge was captain. He is very keen and has a good knowledge of the game in addition to being an attractive bat. He made 97 in one School game. YY. Barclay has some good strokes and is learning to hit harder, he is a very promis- ing cricketer. ll. Peacock and P. Little both hit well and improved considerably. L. Tomlinson, a fearless hitter with a good eye, developed into a quick and sound wicket-keeper. P. Barott, another hitter, played some good innings, but must curb his impatience. S. Stewart is very persevering and his batting improved rapidly. P. Molson is an excellent fielder, but his batting lacked confidence and initiative. P. Russel, A. Magee and P. Mackenzie all show promise and are very keen, but must put in a great deal of careful practice. We were very fortunate in that after the close of the football season we were able to have cricket practice in the indoor nets at the M.:X.A..-X. The keenness shown was most gratifying. An example of the increasing interest in Cricket is the number of boys who now own their own bats. Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the importance of having one's own equipment. It need not be expensive equipment, but to use always a bat the size and balance of which one is used to, and to have a pair of properly studded boots in which one does not slip about either at the wicket or in the held, will materially help towards greater proficiency and more pleasure. The improvement made during the short period of indoor practice was very great. Stewart, Peacock and Tomlinson in particular gained confidence and began to play and hit with judgment and power. We also discovered two potential cricketers, Patch and Mcfuaig, both left hand bowlers of considerable promise, they should also make good bats 4 Patch a sound defensive one, and McCuaig an aggressive run-getter. The prospects for 1935 appear to be very bright. V--.4 . -.. , Slil,XYY'Y lIHl'Sl1 Sflltllll, XIMQXXINI1 -4 4-. 5 , lflXJ'l'H.'Xl,l, IUR4 .N'l,n1.l.'uy.- S. Su-u.trt, l'. NIMM-rmfiu, P.

I .In I FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1934-1935 There were a great many candidates for places in the teams, and it was no easy matter to choose between rival claimants. Mihen everyone was keen and gave of his best. it is difiicult to pick out individuals for special distinction, but there is no question that much of the success of the older team was due to the leadership of Peacock, the steadiness of Hodge, and the all-round excellence of Tomlinson, Molson and Mcfuaig. In the under l-I team Tomlinson and Molson were outstanding, the former's dash and unseltishness were an inspiration to all, and the latter's consistent accuracy and clear thinking were responsible for giving the forwards the opportunities of which they knew so well how to make the most. Tetrault was probably the most accurate placer of cen- treing from the wing whom we have had. Norsworthy on the other wing is very fast but has not got such good control over the ball. Grier came into the side late, he made great improvement and should be very useful next year. The Weather man was particularly kind to usg no matches were either cancelled or postponed, and we were able to use the ground until the middle of November. An innovation this year was a game with T.C.S. on Monday, November 12th. This proved to be the most interesting game of the season, although we won -L-1, the result was in doubt until the last tive minutes. Selwyn House scored first, then T.C.S. equalised from a penalty kick. The score remained unchanged until tive minutes from the end, when Selwyn House forwards were rewarded for their ceaseless efforts by three goals in quick succession by Norsworthy, Porter and Tomlinson respectively. Owing once more to the kindness of parents, on this occasion Mr. NYalter Molson and Mr. Douglas McMaster, we were able to drive to Lennoxville for our match with B.C.S. on Saturday, Oct. 20th. Three car loads, the Headmaster's in addition to those above, set out after lunch on the Friday. B.C.S. kindly and wisely put us up in the Hospital, well away from the main school buildings, so that our love of pillow-lighting did not interfere with school discipline. The match was played in the morning. B.C.S. scored first and for some time dominated the play. Molson equalised when he kicked a very good corner which hit a Bishop's man and was deiiected into the goal. After this Selwyn House steadily got on top of their opponents, and three more goals were added by Norsworthy, Porter, and Molson. Bishops would certainly have scored again had not Stewart unloosed an extra burst of speed and with great perseverance got back from the far corner to catch and charge the wing. Tetrault distinguished himself by his clever centreing. The return match, played at the M.A.A.A. on November 3rd was won compar- atively easily. The first match of the season, that with Ashbury in Ottawa on October 13th, was won 1-O. Both goalkeepers, Hodge and Barclay, were called on for some brilliant work. A timely goal by McCuaig in the second half settled the issue. Both games v. Ashbury in Montreal were won. The only match lost was the second CUnder 1-ll match v. Ashbury. YYe went up to Ottawa on Friday and spent the night, thanks to Mr. YYright's hospitality, at Ashbury. A very close game was won by Ashbury by one goal. l31l Sl-.IXYYY llUl'Sli SCHOOL NIMSAZINIC lIl7L'lilfY IWNY F5 N!.1fi,1'x1,g: XY. 5.1x'.1gc, ll, Xorsxxiwtlix, l'.

NYith six of last year's team left, and with l,ester Tomlinson as Captain again, it is not surprising that the team soon settled clown to he one of the hest that the School has had for several years past. The success of lwoth the untler I5 and the lhtler H teams was largely due to omlinson, whose untiring erliorts lwoth in attack and defence, whatever the state of the game, always inspiretl the rest of the team to do their utmost. The tirst l'utler 15 match, played at the Coliseum on lfelwruary 20th against L.C.C., was won 3e2, and was perhaps the lwest win of the season, resulting from line defence play hy Hodge, Johnston, and Peacock l, and a goal by Tomlinson in the last two minutes of the game. Hale and Norsworthy were the other goal Scorers. l-Ill FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1934-1935 The return match on March Sth was lost by 4 goals to nil. Both games against Ashbury, in Montreal on March lst, and in Ottawa on March 16th, were won by 3 -0. Molson played particularly well in both games, while Hale with 2 goals and Main with l were responsible for a good win in Ottawa. The St. Alban's match played in Montreal on March 9th ended in a drawn game, 3 f3. The Under 1-l team consisting of Tcmlinson, Norsworthy, Molson, Johnston and Winters from the Under 15, with Main, Peacock Il, Savage 1, Dodds 1, and Porter, won 2 out of their 3 matches. The first game of the season against L.C.C. on january 26th was won easily by 5 -l against a much lighter side. The match lost by 3 f-L against B.C.S. at Lennoxville on February 16th was a line game, the result of which was in doubt till the last whistle, and Tomlinson is to be congratulated on scoring all 3 goals. The return game at the Coliseum on lN'Iarch Sth, however, ended in a 3 - 2 victory in our favour. Both teams played consistently well all season. A spectator's comment about one match at the Coliseum that it was a line example of cricket on the ice testifies to the good spirit, hard, fast and clean, in which all the games were played. jfihes To-date the Fives are ccmpleted except for one play-off and the final. '1 his year the teams were divided into two leagues as against one last year. Molson's Five and Peacock l's Five came First in their respective leagues, Molson winning out in the first play-oPf. The second play-off between the runners-up, Barclay and Hodge, has yet to be played, the winners meeting Molson for the shield.

It had been hoped to have held an inaugural Dinner in 1935, but owing to the large amount of work entailed in the preparation ofthe list ofOld Boys, it will be some time before the latter can be satisfactorily completed It is hoped, however, to have things well in hand by 1936, and in the meantime it will be of assistance if all Old Boys will keep in touch with us. Any change of addresses should be forwarded to the Headmaster, who will also be glad to receive any suggestions from Old Boys which may possibly be usefully discussed at the first meeting to be held next vear. 1 -W l FEIAYYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Selwyn Zfanusz QBIIJ Buys nuln at flllcbill Mnihersitp. .Ymnv Fllfllfql' and Yam' .Vaznr Fczvzrlly and Year Angus, Alexander .
