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.

SFLWYN HOUSE SCI-IOOI. 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.
