FOR THF SCHOOL YEAR 19-i5el9-to FOURTH FORM The present Fourth Form has had a very successful year in both scholastic studies and sports. The whole form has managed to get above seventy-live per cent for three weeks running, thus obtaining a half-holiday. In the recent magazine competition, Gordon Maitlzind, Chris Seymour, and Adelard Raymond came iirst in the Essay, Poetry, Short Story divisions respectively. ln Sports the Fourth Form has won the inter-class hockey and soccer laurels by beating the Sixth Form 2-l in soccer and -lil and 3-2 in hockey. XVe must give credit, however, to the Sixth Form, who beat the Fourth in the Swimming Meet at the hl..-X..-X..-X. Encouraged by the splendid swimming of Charles Taylor and Robert Timmins, the Sixth Form took an early lead to race to victory in the relay. There were six members of the Fourth Form in the School Hockey Team - Bruce Campbell, Alan Lindsay, Eman Newcomb, Eric Pollard, Christopher Seymour and the Captain, Dwight Bartholomew. Alan Lindsay distinguished himself by being the sole representative of the Fourth Form in the public speaking Competition. Dwight Bartholomew carried oil' top honours in the Boxing Competition, whilst Chris Seymour came third in the senior school swim- ming meet. James Domville, Dwight Bartholomew and Eman Newcomb are the Fourth Form members of the Selwyn Oratorical Society g Roy Bond upholds the Fourth as second in the Eagle Scout Patrol. Others prominent in form games and academic work are Brian Maikland and Tim Porteous. Unfortunately Denis Gaherty broke his arm, and this accident kept him out of form matches, but he was always to be found cheering wildly on the side-lines for the inevitable victory of the Fourth Form. THIRD FORM Form Ill is possibly the liveliest form in the school eperhaps too lively for the prefect officers of the law. Jeremy Barber and Jules Timmins are generally engaged in mysterious conversation or involved in playful encounters with Donald Jackson and Andrew Ross. Raucous blares of public opinion come blasting down the corridor from outspoken orators like Dick Crawford and Beverley Maclnnes, fading away into a whis- pered diminuendo as McCulloch hears the master's footfall approaching from the next class. A Prominent among the year's scholars have been Derek Hanson, Gibson Brown Ca newcomer to Selwyn HouseH, Andrew Ross, Hamish Stewart, Anson Mcliim, and Tim Rutley, who engage in a weekly battle-royal for high places. Outstanding among the Scouts of the form was Anson Mcliim, patrol leader of the Bulldog Patrol. Other scouts included Yvatson, hlaclnnes, Barber, Stewart, Hanson, Timmins II, Ross, and Currie. Practically all the form were represented on one or other of the Soccer and Hockey teams, but most boys would agree that Barber, Currie, Hanson, Evans and Cusson prob- l25l

STCLWYN HUVSH SCHOOL MAGAZINE ably played the stellar roles. Stewart distinguished himself defending the goal of the winning lfive hockey team. ln the boxing competition McCulloch and Ross II were the best from lform III, and, in the swimming meet, Currie did extremely well, especially in the diving, whilst Craw- ford, Barber and -lackson also upheld the honour of the form. SECOND FUR NI Unhesitatingly we assert that this is the best-looking form in the school. We have blondes, brunettes, and one red-head. We have blue eves, brown eyes, grey eyes, and occasional black eyes. We have brains, collectively speaking, and much enthusiasm for our work. XYliat other boys ring up on lfriday evenings to find but their positions for the week F XYhat other boys have the foresight to use the other ends of their pens if the customary end fails them F e.g. Chris McConnell, Tony Bogert, and Donald Bond. What other form produces such Latin, by which we mean such Latin P We in-5 proud of Paul Dolisie, a lfrench boy, whose Latin is as good as his English e.g. Nlagister docuit puerum ef The master teached the boy land lost most of his hair in the attemptl f We have not yet given up hope that Teddy lfvans, Peter Cowie, and Ronald Cooke, either by accident or design, will put the :Xccusative Case after the verb by June, 1950. The following boys found places on the Soccer Teams :f hlilnei , Bogert, hlclieown, l ,vans, Ogilv ie, Phillips, Cowie, Timmins,' and on the Hockey Teams : f- Mitchell, Cooke, Cowie, lxuisdown, Phillips, and lfvans. The Scouts and Cubs are well represented, as practically every boy in the Form belongs to one 'ir th: othei. Michael Lansdown is a Troop Leader. ln the Swimming Meet Lansdown, Phillips, Evans and Mitchell all took part. Wesley hlason seems to be the chief utility member of the form. Should any- thing be needed, from a wrist-watch to a pen nib, XYesley has it. He is a very useful guy to have around. Donald Bond swims and is clever with hleccano. The day may come when he will build another bridge over the St. Lawrence. It' so, no tolls will be paid by any Form II bilyg lfinally, we take this opportunity of bidding farewell to Michael Lansdown, who sailed for lfngland in April. We wish him good luck and feel sure he will carry on the good work he has done here and will bring credit on himself and his old school. lform ll will always be remembered with affection bv , , , ' ' B. lx. l.
