FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1944-1945 at the end of the 'Ind period. Gray scored his fourth goal of the game in an even last period. Gray again stood out, but the rest of the team saw to it that he had a rather easier time than in the first match. Both forward lines went well with Bovey and Pollard showing the best form. Mar. Sth. LBYDER I-I v. Roslyn School at the Coliseum. - Won 8-l. Scorers for S. H. S. were Gray I-ll, Bartholomew 123, Pollard and Currie l each. In the absence of Bovey, Bartholomew was moved up to centre and played a very good game. Gray was used sparingly in order not to spoil the interest in the match. Currie showed to good advantage in his first appearance on the team. The following matches were unfortunately cancelled owing to the weather:- March lst LTNDER I2 v. L. C. C. 3rd I5 V. B. C. S.

SELWYN HUUSH SCHOOL MAGAZINE successful. lr was disappointing that the unusually early thaw prevented us finishing our schedule, and particularly that the eagerly awaited match with the B. C. Bantams had to be cancelled literally at the last moment owing to the sudden liquidation of the Coliseum ice. However, the fact that we were unbeaten in the six matches played, most of them against considerably heavier teams, was highly gratifying, and that we took only one penalty in all these games is conclusive evidence of the cleanness of our play. Gone, too, is the inferiority complex of some former S. H. S. teams 4 long may this state of alfairs continue l BIATCHES lfeb. Sth. LYNDER 14 v. L. C. C. at the Coliseum. K XVon 6--l. L. C. C. scored two quick goals but S. H. S. equalised before the end of the lst period on 2 goals by Gray. In the 2nd period Gray scored 3 goals to put us in the lead 5-3. In the final period each team scored once more, Gray, who played a great game throughout, getting his 6th goal. After a nervous start, Lindsay played a sound game in goal, and Pollard and Bartholomew showed good form. Feb. Trli. LlNlJER 15 v. L. C. C. at the Coliseum. - Drawn 3-3. This was a very exciting game against a considerably heavier team. S. H. S. twice came from behind to equalise the score, Gray once again being responsible for all our goals, his second being a particularly brilliant effort from the boards. hlagor played very well in goal, and in addition to Gray, who was the outstanding player on the ice, MCM:-lster and Bartholomew were particularly good. The whole team, however, played with lots of spirit and gave a line performance. Feb. llth. UNDER 12 v. L. C. C. on the S. H. S. Rink. 7 YYon 10-2. After leading 34 at half-time, S. H. S. had much the better of the final period and ran in 7 more goals against l for L. C. C. Scorers for the School were Newcomb CSD, Currie QD, Marler, Raymond and NYatson I each. Our lst line went particularly well with New- comb starring, and Seymour and Raymond were very sound on the defence. Feb. 19th. LTNDER 15 v. I.. C. C. at the Coliseum. - Won -P3. In the first two periods S. H. S. piled up a lead of -PO on goals by Gray KID and Pollard. In spite of this, play was very even, and in the Ind period particularlyhlagor was kept very busy. In the tinal period the L. C. C. weight began to tell and they scored three times to make a very exciting conclusion to the game. This was our first victory over the L. C. C. Under 15 team for a long time, and every player on our team is to be congratulated on pulling his full weight. Pollard was awarded his colours following the game. Feb. Ilst. LTNIJER l-L v. L. C.

PC DST WA R GERMANY successful future for all of us is the world's hope. We are all keenly on the lookout for opportunities that the peace should bring us. Our great worry is how to subdue the Germans, and to make their people revert to Christian and civilized ideas. Dr. Goebells said : It is not the :Xmerican Secretary of Finance nor the Under- Secretary of Foreign Affairs in Great Britain that will decide the law by which the German people will live and breathe g we will not tolerate that they will make C1 potato Held out of the Reich or a hell out of our country . But they ruined the poor peasants' potato fields in occupied countries, and ate the potatoes themselves without thinking of all the starving people. YYhat about the torture and hell they made for our military and civilian prisoners of war, including women and children F liven though they are now getting a little tasteoftheirown medicine, we will never stoop to using torture andother mean actions as they have done in the occupied countries. After the war is over there will be much guerilla fighting in Germany by the men who, when boys of nine or ten years of age, were taught that Hitler was infallible, that the Germans were on the just side of the war, and other similar fanatical ideas. The Allies will have to superintend the rebuilding of houses, factories and churches, but above all, special tutors and professors should re-educate the children who have been fanatically taught. lt is hard to believe that the Germans, who were so cultured and produced wonder- ful mcn such as the musicians Schubert, Shumann, Wagner and Beethoven, the poet Got-theg Koch, who discovered the tubercle and cholera bacillus, and Roentgen who in- vented X-rays, could stoop to low mean warfare, and make slaves of free people.
