SELWYX HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Peter Milner, besidcsbcing the lone Boy Scout took second prize in the Form and Phillips came out top in both the Form and Lennox Boyd Essay Contest. Anthony Bugs Bogert has helped keep the record of never having all the members present with the long holidays he takes. He is either going on one, returning from one or in the process of one at all times. However he managed to scrape up enough material to write an Essay which won him fifteen dollars in the Empire Essay Competition. Peter Mitchell and Wesley Mason are the expert readers of the class. Peter Mitchell is the outstanding athlete of the form, leading both his hockeyand soccer Fives and sixes to victory, while playing on the senior team in both these sports. He scored both our goals in our decisive 2-0 victory over the Sixth Form. Wesley Mason is the tall, dark and-well-let's-forget-the-rest and must have a wonderful time on those world wide trips he takes every term. Over in the corner we have Peter Cowie, en- thusiastically conjuring up French words in his Latin Composition or vice versa. He is another excellent Hockey player and helps Dolisie to become another Marcel Cerdan by keeping him in daily boxing trim. The Form continued its record of always leading in the money subscribed to the lVelfarc Federation. I. P. FORM IV Usually at the beginning of Form IV notes one finds terrific boasting about everyone having got TSW, for three consecutive weeks, thus earning a half holiday. But, alack and alas, this year such a boast cannot be made. Perhaps it is because some of the boys felt they would hate to lose half a day's valuable schooling in this way. Perhaps it isn't. We can, however, look back with pride to the form's prowess in sport as we had many representatives on teams. 'tSunny Raper was our leading athlete, making all possible teams. Others were Dave Seymour Chockey, cricket, soccerj, Nelson Timmins fhockey, soccerj, Nickey Thornton thockey, soccerl, jimmy 'tThe Cricket Creighton fcricket, hockeyl. George McKee fhockeyj, Richard Bennetts Chockeyj and Raymond Lemon LeMoyne fsoccerj. Also Tommy Schopflocher made the under fourteen hockey team but was unlucky in that the team had all its games cancelled. This amount of brawn possibly compensates for any lack of brains. In actual fact some of the above athletes Were also among the leaders in scholastic success., Then, of course, there are the others who were not lucky enough to make any of the teams but for all that are good community members of Form IV. Peter Dimples Davi- son, besides always being near the top of the form, has shone as an actor-or should we say actress since he has always played leading female roles charmingly. Michael The Terrier Fenier has a pleasant smile for everyone and under all conditions. Christopher Puddle Poole, at a disadvantage as a newcomer to the class, quickly settled down and made many friends. These three boys are all leaving for other schools next year and we all wish them luck. l28l

The list of invalicls included Billy Mclieown with a broken tuboid, Cwhatever that isj caused by jumping off the parallel bars in gym, and Tony Hildred, who broke his epiphetas of his something, While skating. Both have been walking around in bits of old plaster, sacking and mutilated stockings for the last six weeks. Ronnie Cooke, not to be outdone, broke a bone in his ankle and is hobbling around on a pair of crutches like a war veteran. Bill played on the junior soccer team, While Ronnie received his colours in hockey. Paul Dolisie, Peter Milner and Ivan Phillips were all in Madame Gyger's French play, in which they played respectively, a banker, his beautiful wife, and a chanming but pleasingly plump maid. After it was over, many offers were made to produce the act on Broadway, but the actors declined. l27l

n FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR I0-13 - 1949 Hugh Ross carries on his family tradition of brains and he still at times forgets such trifling things as bringing his essay to school on Monday. Mitchell Bronfman is always full of fung we hear that he plays the accordion and we are hoping he will bring it to school one of these days. Lastly there is Little Bill Pollock whom everyone likes but who is so quiet that we almost forget he is there. At the end of last year live boys left the class for other schools but this in no way diminished the vigour of Form IY. Even when the further three leave us at the end of this year we hope and expect to keep up our good record and uphold the best tradition of Selwyn House. 'We might even get that 75fZ3! D.L.S. FORM III On our return to School, after the Christmas Holidays, we noticed that Form III had the New Look -there were beautiful, impressive-looking new desks. If you are the owner of one of them, you cannot help but. work very well. Our Form seems to be always important in its size and interesting in its personalities, Michael Dennis leads the class with record-breaking weekly percentages, Pierre Raymond constantly keeps him on his toes. Other leading seholirs are Donald Mactaggart, Kenneth Matson, Purvis McDougall and Jack Segall. Tim Carsley, Peter Darling and jack Fray are very well-mannered, rather quiet boys. Freddy Angus, Philip Cumyn and Brian Buchanan seem to be quite interested in the adventures of the hero in our book le Tour du Monde. John Udd takes life more seriously: he tries hard to do very good work. Peter Krohn often gets into trouble, as he has to find out what happens around him. Once in a while he tries to communicate with Alan Fraser. IVe often miss Charles MacInnes and Taylor Carlin, who have the misfortune to be sick sometimes. I wonder if every attempt to make Taylor speak French causes a rash or any other strange symptons. Patrick Blake has come back after a year's absence and we wish him good luck and good health. Charles Frosst is always ready to helpg he is a very good Scout. So, also, are Kenneth Matson, Peter Krohn, Purvis McDougall, Harry Seifert, Derek Marpole, Philip Cumyn and jack Segall. Let us not forget the two Cubs-Michael Wilson and Peter Darling. Our outstanding hockey players this year are john VVright, Harry Seifert, Alan Fraser, Derek Marpole, Taylor Carlin, jack Segall, Billy Timmins, Peter Krohn and Pierre Raymond. The following boys kept up the honour of the class in the soccer game :-Segall. Carlin, McDougall, Krohn, Marpole, Fraser, Darling, Matson I and Seifert. The actors in the Christmas Play , The Stolen Prince , were Marpole, Timmins II, Raymond, Carlin, Darling, and Krohn. Michael Alexandor spent the winter months dans un pays ou fleurit l'oranger, where we would gladly go for a visit on very cold days. A.G. i291
