SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE some pictures of us, and these pictures will be shown soon, so that we may see just how our efforts Iooked to the spectators. .-Xfter the events, most of us stayed for some skiing on the hill, and had great fun. Due to the snow, the annual hockey game in the village could not be held, as the snow had covered the rink. Thus, we had some spare time on our hands before bed-time. However, a few games of ping-pong and billiards soon made the time pass, and it was not long before bed-time rolled around. We heard the American f Canadian game, and the first player to score was Larson. This was a great triumph for Mr. Greenlees, who was thus the winner of the raffle for the first player to score. Nlr. Greenlees was very kind, for on the way home he gave all the boys competing in the rarl'1e chocolate bars and candy. Lights were meant to be out at 10 o'clock, but I very sincerely doubt if they were. The next morning, if Mr. Wanstall had been up slightly earlier, he might have seen boys gliding along the darkened corridors with pillows. .-Xlso, he might have heard a few mighty buffers, as a pillow descended on some unwary victim. Then the boys returned to their rooms and the battle was over. W'e arrived at Valley Farm about 10.30 to the tune of Roll out the Barrel . In a few minutes the skis were unloaded, and we had arrived at the farmhouse. From there, we proceeded to the start of the Senior and Junior Downhill races, which were to be held about half a mile away. There, we mounted a large hill and held the Downhill event for both Juniors and Seniors. Bovey came first in the event for the Seniors with forty-five seconds, while Currie came first in the ,Iunior with twenty seconds. :Xfter a very enjoyable lunch, the Senior Slalom was held on the hill behind the farmhouse. John W'ight won this event. After the Slalom the next event was the -Iunior Jump, which was to be the last event for the day. We then returned to the Seigniory Club, and after an excellent meal, we packed our bags and were ready to start for Montreal. W'e then were taken to the station in sleighs, and caught the train in to the city. About 11.30, anyone in Windsor Station might have seen a tired, but very happy, crowd of boys arrive from a most enjoyable week-end to meet their parents.

This year, our Seigniory Club week-end was held on the week-end of Feb. N Oth. It was favoured with good weather, a rarity on Seigniorv Club trips. Thus as the train glided out of Windsor Station, our spirits were buoyed up by the news ol- fresh snow at the Club, and the good skiing weather. l'pon arriving at Montebello, we scrambled into dog sled and sleigh, and sped to- wards the Club. As we neared the gate, familiar spots were pointed out, and soon we were again at the door ot' the Seigniory Club. The huge building looked just as we had left it, and as we entered, the blazing fires in the centre of the room looked very cheerful to ue after a cold ride from the station. The time before dinner was spent in linding rooms and visiting friends in theirs. After dinner, we proceeded to the Sixth Fairway, where the .lunior slalom and the Senior Jump were to be held. :X photographer from the Associated Screen News tooli llll

FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 19-IO-19-ll Ranger. The most dangerous place in the world to-day, I think, is London, England. There are many kinds of danger. There is the danger of being hit by a bomb from a German raider, or by a piece of a bomb. There is the danger of being hit by shrapnel, and the danger of fire from incendiary bombs. Here is an experience. I was in London. Havingjust finished my supper, I thought I would go to a movie. .lust then, without any Warning, the air-raid sirens moaned, and enemy aircraft came into view. Suddenly we heard the whistling of a bomb, and we all lay down with our faces to the sidewalk. As we were scrambling to our feet, a squadron of Hurricanes came into view, to take part in a doghght about two miles off. :Xs I went on, I saw a piece of shrapnel take some tiles orf the roof of a big building. Then I continued on my way to the movie. XY. R., Form 2. Zlihe liihrarp. We acknowledge, with many thanks, contributions of books from the following boys: Cottingham, Lyman, Yass, Decary, Magor, Reford, Black, Shorey, White, and Currie, also 20 books from Mrs. Philip Mackenzie, and a donation from Mrs. Spatford in memory of Douglas McMaster. Two dozen books have been placed on one side for the Red Cross, after receiving a request for any that we might be able to spare. The Library has proved as popular as ever- rather more so, in fact, judging by the constant demand for books, and the number issued. The most popular author seems to be Percy IYesterman, while Don Sturdy, with his well-nigh impossible thrills has his following I A few good detective stories would be welcome. Apart from this, we can supply almost anything on any subject. B. K. T. H. t iBun:ie Defeat of the 36 legion.
