if SELVVY HOUSE Pi SCHGOL MAGAZINE Vol. Z0 FUR Tlllf SCHHHI, YEAR 1047-4s jfnretnnrh HE pleasant evening of the .-Xeatleniie Prize-Giving has lieeonie a nieniory . , and that is the fate of all the things that happen to us in selinol, Perhaps the pleasantest thing that I eoulrl wish for you is that your memories o Selwyn House will stay with you always as pleasures that you will renienilrer often and talk about with enthusiasm when you spend an evening with other olrl boys. You may not think inuch of that wish Ilrolmbly you woultl, at this nionient, prefer an extra half- holiday or an easier Latin exam, lieeause youth thinks less of yestertlziy than of tomorrow. But the yesterdays aeeuniulate as you grow olfler fthe yesterdays that you reineniber because of a football vietory, the yesterdays when you tlrst reatl at lnmimli that has lmeeonie a favourite, the yesterdays when you lweeame a prefeet or won a seliolztrsliip, the yesterdays when the snow was Crisp and you enjoyed ski-ing. These are the treasures of life. E-luezttion is a part of growing up, but so is spwrt and the Coinradeship of games, You will neewl sonietliing more than goorl grades if you are to do as niueh in the world as your great patron, George Augustus Selwyn, antl I hope you will always renieinber that his eharaeter and rletervnination, the fuet that he was a real man, contributed as niueh to his greatness as his scholastic aeliieveinents. Most of you will not be bishops. Few of you will deal with irate natives single-liandetl. Not many of you will sail round uninhabited coasts in a yawl. But you will have other jobs to taekle, just as hard for you and with results just as inipwrtant for other pewple. You will do well it all the yesterdays, when Selwyn House was yours, have woven into your own eharaeter the traditions of the Sehonl. X l3l f
