X,.u'wvm1'lLff'..1 Illnrvmnrh The Duke of lvellington was in a very good position to know that the battle of YfVaterloo was fought at a place called lVaterloo. He has, however, been credited with the odd statement that this battle was won somewhere else, that it was won, in fact, on the playing fields of Eton . Though it seems odd that a battle could be won fifteen years before it was fought, and two hundred miles from the battlefield, the old Duke was right. Team-games, played in the proper spirit, do develop the kind of resourceful and energetic co-operation that wins wars. A point that is not so often considered is that peace, which is, presumably, the normal condition of mankind, is made, not on playing fields or battlefields, but in the minds of men. It is necessary to play games so that the mind may have a healthy place to live in the body: and it is sometimes necessary to fight wars so that peaceful ideas may have a healthy place to live in the world. But when games are played to the exclusion of study, or when wars are fought for power alone, the only result is a muscle-bound man or a muscle-bound nation. Only a greater soldier could have made another remark that is found in one of the Duke of lVellington's despatches: Nothing except Il Imllle Inst can be half so mclarzrlmly as ll battle won. Certainly, after the desperate work of winning a victory, we encounter the great responsibility of deciding what to do with that victory. After we vanquish our secondary-school examinations, we feel, first, relief at having passed them, then bewilderment before the thousand possibilities in life, of which we must choose one. In the same way, every victory, while it solves one great problem, brings a thousand small ones in its train. The muscle-bound man and the muscle-bound nation have no hesitation before these problems. They know what they want. Action for its own sake and power for its own sake are their only goals. They may disguise these goals under pretences of public service, as communism disguises itself by pretending to champion human rights. But the truth is always discovered in the result. And the student who cultivates mind as well as muscle will discover that his personal happiness can not be increased by subtracting it from the larger happiness of all human beings. He will also discover that his happiness proceeds, not from having something, or even from doing something, but from being somemze. The lost art of being a Person can well be cultivated in such a school as Selwyn House, where the tradition of games is balanced by the tradition of scholarship. The art of being a Person involves completeness. It involves readiness to act. but it also involves thinking about the best way to act: so that when the time for some important action comes, you may perform it not only quickly but wisely, not only wisely but well.

With her valuable background ol the London .Xcadeniy ol Music and the West Norwood Institute ol Training, Miss Snead brought to her duties at Selwyn House in 1920 those qualities ol' thoroughness, patience and technical skill, which were to characterize and colour her teaching down through the years. With that kindly humanity which always shone through, even in moments ol necessary firmness -H in dealing with recalcitrant youth, she endeared herself to three decades of Canadian boys and did much to inculcate those qualities ol loyalty, lair dealing and appreciation of things good, true and lovely, that she herself showed in her own daily life. ln l!lfl7 Miss Snead was appointed Head Mistress of our Junior School and the many scholastic honours ol' Sixth Form Boys and of Old Boys of the school have undoubtedly been due, in large degree, to the sound foundation laid in the basic subjects under her experienced direction. And for many years to come-both in the senior school and beyond -our boys will reap the harvest of her untiring efforts. lVe have all been delighted that Miss Snead's recovery has been steady and rapid. and now, as she retires lroni her arduous and responsible labours. we would extend to her f in the name ol a veritable host ol' friends - not only our deep thanks lor a task supremely well done but also our best wishes lor many years of happiness and improved health in her well-earned leisure. NEW' MEMBERS Xlle were pleased to welcome two new members to our Staff this year, in the persons ol Mr. R. L. M. Picard and Mr. li. C. Mootley. Mr. Picard, a graduate of Mcflill and London Universities, taught lor some years under the Montreal Protestant Sthool lioard, and Mr. Moodey, Sanbrooke Scholar at the University' of London, was llul FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1949-1950 Senior Master at Eaglehurst College, Northampton, England. prior to his coming to Selwyn House. Both served in the Armed Forces during the war, Mr. Picard as Lieut- Cornmander in the Royal Canadian Navy, and Mr. Moodey as Flight-Lieutenant in the Royal Air Force. lt is our hope that their stay with us will be a long and happy one. XVhen Miss Snead fell ill in October, we were very fortunate to secure the services of Mrs. Etanda Farquhar. L'nfortunately, she was unable to stay with us beyond Christmas. but Mrs. Grace Cunningham very kindly stepped into the breach. YVe are very grateful indeed to both these ladies for their most valuable help in the work of the Junior School. BOARD OF GOVERNORS Since our last issue of the School Magazine there have been three changes in our Board of Governors. Mrs. Anson C. Mcliim. Mr. XV. C. RI. Meredith, and Mr. T. C. Brainerd have retired from the Board. and we should like to extend to them the schools appreciation of their valuable help and direction during the past five years. Mrs. Paul B. Pitcher, Mr. A. XVQ-sley Mason. and Mr. Robert R. McLernon have been appointed to the Board in their place. if , llll Sl1l.WXY HOl'Sl'.

THE CHOIR 'l'he Choir. in addition to leading the singing at the morning assembly, has pc-rlotmed with distinction at the Academic Prize-Giving and at the School Entertain- ment at tihristmas, and has shown continued improvement both in tone and volume, while the clearness ol the words has been commented on very favourably. The places ol the boys who graduated lrom the Choir last .lune have been Filled by some promising ic-ciuits lrom the -junior Choir. 'I'here is likely to be an extremely keen competition lor the Singing Prize this year, as several ol' the boys are developing pleasing solo voices.

VISIT 'I'O I'.'XRLlAlNIIiNT 'I'he senior boys ol' the school had the pleasure ol visiting the Parliament lhtildings in Ottawa in March as guests ol' the Hon. Brooke Claxton, Minister of National Ilelence. Mr. Alan Brown, a member of his staff, met us at the station and very kindly stayed with us throughout the entire day. Xlr. Claxton welcomed us at the House ol' Commons, and we had the additional privilege ol meeting the Prime Minister. Mr. St. Laurent, who shook hands with each member ol the party and then said a lew words to the group as a whole. A fine lunch was served in a room adjoining the Parliamentary restaurant, and at its conclusion Mr. Claxton gave us a briel outline ol the lunctions ol' Parliament and the various departments ol government. 'l'herealter we went on a tour ol the buildings -including the Senate Chamber, the Library and the Peace 'l'ower-ending with a very pleasant visit to the oflice of llon. Ilouglas Abbott, Nlinister ol' Finance, who accorded us a very cordial welcome. 'I'here we also met Lord Shaughnessy, an Old Boy of Selwyn House. just belore the Commons assembled, some of the boys had the pleasure of meeting Hon. George Drew, Leader ol' the Opposition, and Mr. Coldwell, leader of the l1.t1.F. Party. .XII ol us enjoyed listening to the various members in the House of tlommons and were sorry when train time cattle and we had to go-- but we were quite unanimous that it had been a wonderlul day, and agreed wholeheartedly with Peter tlowic-'s hearty vote ol' thanks to Mr. Claxton lor having organized such a happy and worthwhile visit. The Headmaster and Nr. Howis accompanied the group and were just as thrilled with it all as the boys. 'THE LIBRARY Since the Geollrey XVanstall Nlemorial Library was opened just ten months ago, the Iollowing statistics should serve to show how greatly the Library was needed and also what a boon it has been to the entire school. 'I'o date. 2,lEl9 books have been issued. These included 311 on Science, 227 on 'Iihings 'I'o Do , and 219 on Nature , These subjects were picked at random. wi I-'OR THE SCHOOL YEAR I9-19-1950 To say that the Library has been popular lrom its opening is putting it mildly. Recently it was lound necessary to close at P1 P.M., as lrequently boys were lound browsing around till nearly 5 P.M. There has been much research work among the senior boys lor help in their essays and other work, and rarely has there been an instance when they have not found what they wanted. The interest in books has steadily grown. as evinced by ever-increasing circula- tion, and we shall make further additions to the collections in the various sections as time goes on. lVe are greatly indebted to our splendid list ol donors appended herewith- and also to our energetic Librarian, Mrs. XVarren. who undoubtedly put the Library on its leet, so that it has become a solid institution and something ol which the school may well be very proud. Visitors are proloundly impressed by what they see. and are warm in their appreciation. Boys often hold discussions, amusing and otherwise, on the books they have read and one small boy's remark may not be out ol' place. You know said he. you can go anywhere you like in the Library f even to another planet . To our generous donors and to Mrs. Warren, our sincere and gratelul thanks. B.lx. l .H.

TH E N EXV LA BORATO RY Recent years have changed the aspect ol the school building, and the newest addition, at the head ol' the stairs, is the laboratory, equipped with an array ol instruments as instructionally valuable as they are mysteriously impressive to the juniors peeping through the doors. Lack ol' lacilities lor practical work has hitherto retarded the science teaching, but this deficiency is now removed. So far as the science side has gradually developed, work has necessarily been introductory and superhcial, but we can look forward in the luture to a basic science course in keeping with the high educational traditions of Selwyn House School.

Our guest of honour on this occasion was the distinguished Old Boy of the school, Brigadier Charles M. Drury, C.B.E., D.S.O., Deputy Minister of National Defence. ln his brief speech to the boys Brigadier Drury recalled his own happy days at Selwyn House and bade his youthful hearers make the most of their great opportunities and so prove worthy of the traditions ol' the school built up over the past forty years. He complimented the boys upon their keen. competitive spirit. The headmaster reviewed the highlights ol the past year and referred with regret to the retirement of Mr. Jackson, Assistant Headmaster, and the resignation of Mr. Harrison. Both masters received a presentation lrom Staff and boys. The Chairman of the Board ol' Governors, Mr. Gillespie, announced that a laboratory would be constructed lor Chemistry and Physics in the Senior School and that a Science Course would be mapped out for the four senior forms.

YIQXR HHS' l9'wll DRAM AUG S The production of plays in it buys' school presents niztny problenis. such :is casting, training in speech. inoveinent and grouping, interpretation of ulien emotions and experiences. the perpetual worry ol last-ininnte illnesses or stage-lriglit, and so forth. All these and at thousand more have gone into the making of School Drgnninit s. unknown and, it is to be hoped, unfelt by the audienme. Hut there is one problem, and that the inost difhcult. to be inet belore :any ol the others arise. and that is the selection ol the right play or plays. To produce ll play successfully, one nrust tonstgnnly keep the eye ol the iiiiagingts tion trained on the audience which will one day witness the finished product and for these unseen. unknown critics innst the whole business be pitched. ln at ihildren's performance, the first problein arises here. for the audience will obviously consist both of adults and children, and at play rnnst be selected which will produce neither shuffling leet lroni one nor polite parental indulgence lrorn the other. The tutors, too, must be considered, lor in this type ol thine, they are essentially part ol the gindienme and must enjoy their own perlorrnznnes every bil :is ninth its their elders. The ideal play, then. is one that, beiaiuse ol its clmrrn and inuiginzttive qualities. will inoinentarily transport children und parents alike into an enriching. dreann- fullilling world. Such, we hope, were the plays produced belore capacity audiences on December Qllth at the Montreal Repertory Theatre. To begin with. there were three scenes lroni Yictorien S1trdou's znnusing satire of the First lirnpire, Xlad:nne 5ansAGene . This. guhnirxtbly produced by Kline Cheer. set the ball for le balny rolling briskly. liolh shrill and deep laughter greeted the Duchess of Illllllligk efforts, as she tripped lliteratllyy the light fantastic with het maitre de clause . Napoleon, hat on brow, curl down. hands firnily lore and alt, was in the truly parvenu tradition ol dictators. to which we have all become accustomed. The caste was as follows: NI. Despreanx, inztitre de dunse, Paul Dolisie: nloseph Lefebvre. duc de Ijllllllig. Peter Cowie: Catherine Lefebvre, duchesse de Dantzig, Peter Nlilner: Napoleon. Ivan Phillips: Constant, valet, Peter Nlitchell. Then there cznne a thriller, Ghost by Request , produced by Mr. Cl. H. Nlayer. This play, acted by and for the younger boys, was their property lroin beginning to end. False nioustaches, handcuffs and guns twhich luckily never went olfl, tough lines f It's a pity yer Klonnna conldn't coine wid yu .- Yez1hl You're ll little white lznnb. yu areluj , and plenty of blood, drew oohs and aahs from our younger critics. XYe could afford to be indulgent. here. Acting honours go to Billy Tinnnins for his outstanding, performance as the crook, which drew oohs and aahs even from the experienced technicians lent to us by the Nl.R.'I'. Those taking part were, Margery Burton. John Clarke: Peter Burton, Tint tlarsleyz Bill.

'SCHOOL NIXKLKIINF .X special honour came to Form V when jimmy Creighton was made an Acting l'rc-lc-ct, the lirst time this has ever happened to a Form V boy. For that, the rest of ns gladly give jlimmy a paragraph to himsell. He was on all the hrst teams and a dc-hater. He is the tallest boy in the school and seems never to stop growing. His clignihecl air, his deep pontilical voice and the lac-t that he got l0ll'2 in Scripture all seem to point to his hecoining at least a Bishop. For the ic-st. alphabetically. a lew highlightszfliichard Bennetts quietly goes his way bitt is a great supporter ol the more violent members ol the Form. Mitchell llronlman did a line job as soccer goalkeeper and worked very hard to achieve a high mark set lor him. Raymond I,c-Moyne represented the school at all games, either senior or junior: he should be especially congratulated on making the jtinior hockey team as he started to skate only a year ago. He has lately been very concerned about the progress ol his youngest brother who should be old enough to come to the school about lEl5li. Cieorge Alcliee was very tuilucky in that he broke his leg which kept him out ol games, but he was a leading debater. He also seemed to be unlucky very often as regards getting on busses that broke clown enroute to school! Sonny Raper kept up his very line record at games, was one ol' the debaters, attcl did much better at work. We wonder how he ever has time lor any homework in winter because he is in so much demand lor Hampstead hockey teants. Hugh Ross is, without doubt, our leading scientist and mathematician- bitt he still has some dilliculty in solving the problem ol how to keep his books in one desk. 'I'ommy Scliopllocher played soccer and hockey lor hrst teams and was a debater. lle had the mislortune to suffer from severe situis trouble htit this was not without its reward. lor he recuperatecl by having three weeks in Florida just when Montreal weather was at its cruellest. David Seymour played on all first teams and in his spare time shot snipe. skiecl. and did a good litany impositions. Nicky Thornton, as jovial as ever. played on all junior teams and was always near the top of the Form: otttside school hours he is an expert on apples and the part inventor ol' ati ingenious and dangerous lrom ol' bobsled lor use on icy country roads. Nelson Timmins was a leading light in the lirst soccer and hockey teatns and in his spare time shot ducks and skied madly but skilllully down steep Laurentian hills. .X mixed lot, but everyone contributed something. even il' it was only a few gray hairs to otir masters. D.L.S. FORM IX' 'Iihis is all about Form number four, XVhose hoys ntnnber one even score: lVe're proud ol our work, .Xnd sports we clon't shirk. You can lincl us right on the lop lloor. l38l I-'OR THE SCHOOL YEXR ISH9- IQSU Alexandofs voice we all admire. As you know, he sings in the Choir: He likes to play sports Of all kinds and all sorts. And has pep we'cl all like to acquire. Coin-collecting is :StIlgllS' hobby. He gets 'em from Tom, Dick or Bobby: He does his work well, And that you can tell, For his books are never left in the lobby. Buchanan is an avid reader. In popularity he is a leader: lVith his horn-rimmed glasses, XVhich he dons lor all classes, He might be a second Gabriel Heattern! There is, in our class, Taylor Carlin, And you won't hnd the sport he can't star ini He's a boy we admire, For he sings in the Choir, And with all this he never is tirin'l An all-round lellow is Tim, YVho with good humour is filled to the brim Carsley's well up in the Form, Always on time in the morn, And does very well in the gym. There is one in the Form we called Phiddie, And Cumyn is really quite witty: WVith his pranks and his fooling, He stills knows his schooling, And on his violin can play many ll ditty. Peter is the next boy's name, And all-round sport is his lamel Darling's an actor ol' note, And at home on a boat, lVe're right glad to our Form he came. Y'Ve have with us one Jackie Fray, XVho yodels and sings all day: He plays the guitar, And may be a star, For this, we all do pray. l29l SEIJYYX HOl'SrQ SCHOOL NIACLXZINE Choir boy and scout is Krohn, For this he is very well known: He has his lun, XVhen his work is done, And to any gathering adds tone. Blaclintes. 21 boy ol lew words. Has his head filled with knowledge of birds He does well in his studies. ls liked by his buddies, ln this all the Form have concurred, And now we cotne to Mactaggart, At his studies and hobbies no laggardg He's the busiest of boys, Making tricks and toys. And of this he is no braggart. In Form IV there's a very nice boy, XVhose heart's always hlled with joyg NIarpole's good in athletics. And the same in scltolnstics. For these all his brain he doth employ. Matson rates high as at scout, He knows what it's all about: ln his studies he's bright, Does his homework each night, For his sports at school we can shout, An all-round boy is Pierre. Hlho for horsetnanship has quite a flair: But besides riding horses, He does well in all courses, At the top ol the class- Raytnond's there! There is a good sport nznned Segztll, Hlho has the energy of a beagle: He stars in soccer and hockey. In scholastics he's not rocky. And never does anything illegal. Seifert plays the pranks in the Form, NYhat he thinks up is by no nteans corn: A sportsinan. without doubt. He is also ll scout. Our feelings for hitn are very watrin.

All the exam papers had been returned to the boys and corrected. Now the boys of Form Two sat waiting lor the entrance of their form master. who had an hour with them on this tlav ol the week. 'I'here was speculation on what they would do. XVould there be a quiz game or a spelling match perhaps? The master's heavy step sounded on the stairs. and he entered the room, seating himsell in the chair ol' authority. His eyes. behind their glasses, scanned the several long rows ol boys and the twenty-eight pairs of eyes gazing expectantly at him. Pensively in his mind he checked them off with a mental roll call. l34l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1949-1950 There were Arbuckle the athletic, shy little Bain, Barraclough and Carsley-both tall and slender-and Chauvin, an all-round Selwynite. There were bookish little Clarke, Cohen who day-dreamed sometimes, and studious Creery. There were solid Dalglish, quiet Davidson in one corner at the back and not too far from Dauntless Donald. the form's prize athlete. Next to him sat XVinton. who always had candy or other treasures in his pocket. There were Robert Eaton, whose name sounds very familiar. and hockey goalie Friesen and Scottish Herron, Heward always near the top of the honours list, and Hyde. The master suspected that someday Hyde might become a judge, as his customary expression seemed to be one of extreme judicial gravity. There were Kimble of geographic fame and Leach - Geoffrey C., who possessed a relative who had seen considerable service during the late war. There were LeMoine who could eat pea soup at lunch but IIOI peas, and freckled McMaster, and Meighen who liked a good gossip. The master's reveries were interrupted by erratic Price. who was almost standing on his head while trying to extricate a book from his drawer. He was stared into silence. There were Raginsky and Tinnnins. stout fellows with a philosophy of laissez- faire, and Scowen who was once asked to look up the meaning of buffoon. Lastly, there were WVait, absent-minded at times, and Smith who reflected nmch upon the ways of the world. As the master finished his own form reflections, he said, Now, I think I'll surprise you by telling a story instead ol' having our usual quiz game. And he did, for the rest of the hour. L.R.P. FORM I NOTES Form I is the crucible and 22 small boys are the ingredients in an alchemy designed to turn them into Seniors worthy of the traditions of a long line of Selwyn House Old Boys. Prescribed measures of Latin, large quantities of Maths and select portions of French, English, History and Geography are commingled along with varying amounts of detentions, impositions and canings. The whole is immersed in a veritable bath of ink. In theory the reaction should turn out wellainformed, serious- minded and purposeful little students eagerly awaiting their chance to drink their fill at the fountain of knowledge in Form II. But alas for theory! As the experiment ends, we find we have a group who are well-informed in everything but the curriculum, whose minds are devoid of a serious thought and whose chief' purpose in life is to have a good time. All of which is entirely normal, nor would we have it any other way. Among our more effusive spirits may be noted the ubiquitous and irrepressible McRobie, Vintcent of the thousand and one questions and doorman McLernon who spends every second of between-period time watching apprehensively down the hall for the next master. Pitcher and Peters maintain a friendly rivalry and contribute a steadying influence over some of their gidclier form-mates. In this category might be listed 1351 sl-.INYYN ll0l'Sli SCHOOL Niki-'XIINE Maxwell, livans and Matson whose joie de vivre keeps the class temperatttre close lo boiling point. Professor Clhallev continues to astound one and all with his prodigious learning. 'l'ei'roux has earned the former title on several occasions and has a long list of setond plates to his credit. Sober Quinlan must surely have consumed a bottle of ink in the course of the year judging by the daily blue-black make-up which somehow finds its way onto his late. Rankin excels in athletics of all kinds both outside, and, on occasion, inside the ilassrooni. l'edoe, young in years but old in wisdom, and Sendel, who is constantly confusing his Hebrew with his Latin, are contrasting types. Tait brought distinction lo the Form by being awarded his Senior Sixer in the Clubs. Serious consideration has been given to having Nesbitt's desk turned around backwards in order that we may have a look at his lace once in awhile. Chandler fills endless pens and thereby proves a most zealous monitor as he keeps the ink bottle ltlll to overflowing. Nfcilonnell. one of the first to endure the 4'toi'nn'e , longs lor the lengthening days when he can demand that the blind be adjusted to keep the sun oil his lace. thereby occasioning such delightful incidents as the whole curtain flying up violently or even crashing to the floor. lliniinutive Savage nonetheless manages to make his presence felt by master and pupil alike. lic-sner's classroom behaviour is perforce of the best, occupying as he does a position only a ruler's length from the master's desk. Udd keeps calm and collected in all situations including fire-drill in which he has a specific assignment. Colby, a newcomer. has made a fine adjustment to life at Selwyn House and from all accounts is liking it. .Xnd so on to lil'e's proving grounds and may the spirit of adventure ever flourish in their hearts.

This is Monday. and the trim and tidy little boys are to be transformed in short order, lor gym comes next. XVhen the bell rings after Break, again three and twenty boys hurry into Form A. lt is hard to believe they are the same children one saw at nine o'clock. XVhat a transformation! Shirts which were innnaculate are now unbelievably crumpled. Ties which had been nicely centered, now perch drunkenly awry, half outside and hall inside what once looked like a collar. Shirt-tails, normally discreetly hidden, now flap in happy freedom. The XVhite Queen could not have looked more wind-blown than do our boys after a gym period. So, having wrestled unsuccessfully with ties and buttons, we try our hand at figures, and here we have more luck. XVith Clarke and Moseley racing ahead, fractions do as they are told iimnediately. Cumyn and Gaherty concentrate for a little while. then come up victorious, while Nlclsean, Rutley and Robertson find figures unco- operative and struggle laboriously. But belore long the whole class unanimously agree that fractions are just too, too easy. So the rest of the morning slips quickly past and Tuesday dawns. The excitement today is in anticipation of Sports after staying at School for lunch. Here McNeill and Evans, Bogert and Xllaken shine. while Levinson in goals is quite a sensation. On XVednesday morning the atmosphere is tlillerent. Neat Club uniforms predominate in class. Hart, Bogert, NlcNeill, Louson and lVakem are most efficient Sixers. Every boy tries to add to the glory of his own six. Already Bogert has passed three badges, while Haslett, Reilley. Hart and Moseley have two each. The flollector's badge is a prize to capture and Baillie and Byers. Osler and Brodhead. Cumyn and Gillespie are keen philatelists. Club day is a favourite and laces light up as lunch time approaches. lessons can be forgotten and the lun of the Club meet begins. Thursday and Friday slip past quickly in spite of tests in various subjects. Each day brings its interests and excitements for this lively group of boys. Whether it is hard work or play, their hearts are in it. The bright laughter of Clarke and McLean: the noisy chattering of Haslett and Baillie: the frequent giggling of Alexander and Robertson all help to make this a very happy form. Small wonder that days slip quickly into weeks, and weeks glide smoothly by until yet another school year is left behind. C.I.Nl. FORM B NOTES If you want to be told what goes on in form B, You ought to ask someone who knows more than me. I can tell you a little about them - all nice.

FORM Cl NOTES Form Cs bright and smiling faces are a joy and delight for any teacher to behold on entering the classroom. They have graduated from the Beginner's Class and are forging ahead very enthusiastically towards their goal of Form B. David Baillie is showing marked progress recently and his initiative plus his charming smile will take him lar. Mark Boundy is, perhaps. our most conscientious working member and, though very quiet, he is slowly emerging from his shell of reserve. Tommy Carter's forte is the multiplication table which he delights in knowing better than anyone else - i381 FOR 'I HE SCHOOL YEAR 1949-1950 most of the time! Peter Clarke, no bigger than a minute, keeps abreast of the class activities. Christopher Coristine and Donald Doyle both work hard and results reward their efforts. Eric Dawson deserves special mention. He started fairly low down in the form this year but grim determination and keen interest are taking him to heights heretofore unknown by him. Nicholas I-Ioare's main interest seems to be drawing at the moment but he is making progress elsewhere. too. Tommy Howard and Christopher Hyde are excellent workers and keen competition exists between them. jay Monge each day makes a special trip up to his teacher's desk to assure her that even if all else goes wrong she can take heart from the fact that he always does his best work. He does too, bless him! Peter Nobbs' tremendous fund of irrelevant anecdotes keeps us amused when perhaps we should be doing something else, but life is never dull with him around. Patrick Phillips' keen sense of humor helps us over many rough spots, too. Michael Stanger is certainly a likely nomination for the boy most likely to succeed if the occasion when we found him trying to sell us a copy of the prospectus ol a well- known boy's summer camp, augurs anything! Duncan Taylor shows keen interest in his work and is slowly but surely gaining ground. Peter Terroux is hard working and capable but ready to join into any mischief which haply may present itself. Timothy Yates is never one to fail to see the humor of a situation, as this illustration will make plain: One day in the midst of a Scripture lesson on David and Goliath, Mrs. Cunningham remarked that David. before he had killed Goliath, had killed two bears. Unfortunately, Mrs. Cunningham pronounced it, Beers . Quick as a shot, Timmy asked with a perfectly straight face, Was it Molson's or Labatt's, Mrs. Lillllllillgillllllyi Needless to say, our lesson came to an uuseemly end at that point, as the class dissolved itself into hilarity. G.C. FORM C2 NOTES On entering C2, you are greeted by a dozen pairs of bright eyes. There is an exclamation of joy, if we have a card game during the lesson. Do not be shocked. as we do not play a poker game for money. XVith our picture cards, we learn French the least painful way. YVe all enjoy the game, especially when a funny incident arises. The other day, the word caoutchouc was called Olll. Right afterwards Brian Saunderson began to sneeze: Caoutch...ouc! You can imagine the peal of laughter. at which Peter Hope was the leader. During all this merriment, Peter Jackson seriously repeated to himself: Mouton, menton, manteau: which one is it?

He had a card with money , and he intended to play the French money game with his father: je n'ai pas d'argent, donnez-moi de l'argent . . . Can you guess why? Richard Leach tries not to miss anything he should learn, as he wants to teach it to somebody else. Ian Belton, always very pleasant and attentive, hardly ever fails to answer a question. Quite often. charming Eddy Colby has a puzzled look, wondering how to say one word or another, they all sound so queer. But when we illustrate our lesson. he draws like a real artist.

As you know, this race is open to all colts in the ll class. lt is a beautiful day at Redpath. The course is in perfect condition, if anything, a little on the last side, and there is an air ol' excitement as the large held of eighteen is nearing the starting gate. The board shows that the betting is comparatively even, with Stikeman, Fieldhouse, Peters, Coristine and Newman, showing a slight shortening in price. lVe will now take you over to ll. Nl. Tester, who is the commentator for this event. The colts are entering the starting gate with little tlillicnlty.

The First Team gained two very creditable victories in these games, and in their match with the Fathers at one point had the upper hand. The Under Isl Team was less successful in its matches with B.CI.S. Our lack of facilities for practice was a distinct handicap to the younger boys. The cricket season in Canada being as short as it is. it is essential for boys. wherever possible, to secure additional practice in the evenings. during the weekends, and in the summer holidays. lVe are greatly indebted to Mr. Seymour for his invaluable assistance during the term with coaching and umpiring, and for his gift of a handsome scorebboard and numbers, which will fill a long-felt need and enable tts to enjoy our matches a great deal more in the future.

Away. Mon., Oct. 2-ith. We had the better of the game but were unable to score. Donald played well at centre half and the forwards showed plenty of dash, only to fail in front of goal.

HOCKEY l950 We enjoyed our best season for many years, the Under I5 team going unbeaten through their home and away series with I,.CI.CI., Ashbury and Sedbergh, while the l'nder I3 team were successful in their series ol games with L.C.C. and B.C.S. Our excellent record was the result ol good team spirit and the will to win rather than ol :my abundance of outstanding material, and our victories were the more satisfying lor this reason, setting an example that luture S.H.S. teams will do well to copy. Our players and their opponents should also be congratulated on the clean brand of hockey which they displayed. Wle are very grateful to the following' Old Boys of the School who refereed matches for us:-George Currie, Fred Tees, Murray Magor, Tony Dobell and Maclean Holmes. CHAR.XCT1iRS l,Hll.l li-s. Goal .

The Spring lil-19 Maple Sugar Tag Day was supported by a Selwyn House Delegation who sold tags. Several Scouts and Cubs won prizes for their salesmanship. At the end ol' the Sunnner Term the Scouts went to Rawdon under the auspices ol' the Nlilners lor an overnight First Class hike. The camping site was deep in the wooded hills, reached by a winding trail and lar enough from the nearest haunts ol civilization so that the only campers present beside the hikers were the whippoor- wills and owls and leeches. The Scouts enjoyed swimming and boating and the unique pleasure of having a whole pond to themselves. lt rained slightly during the night. On the way up to Rawdon boisterous spirits prevailed in the motor car, but on the return trip a wearisome silence was very noticeable. ln October the Scouts and Cubs went to Sedbergh with the soccer team. It was a beautilul dav. and meals were cooked and eaten on the side of a rocky plateau. A remarkable trailing game was played for about one and one half hours. It was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, including the SAI. A Remembrance Day Assembly was held at school on November llth when Scouts and Cubs participated. A group of Scouts sold poppies on Poppy Day and received a citation for their good work. Scouts and Cubs served as ushers at the Christmas plays produced by the School. ln February a Scout and Cub parade was held at a morning assembly to celebrate Boy Scout Week.

I 0 THE MOST DlSTlNCl'lSHliD GOVERNOR-CIiNERAL OF CANADA I think that the most distinguished Governor-General that Canada has ever had is Lord Durham. Although he only stayed in Canada for five months, he did great things for it and, alter returning to England, wrote his famous report. In this essay, I am going to tell you the story ot his work in Canada, and also tell you some of my reasons for choosing him as the most distinguished Governor-General of Canada. Lord Durham arrived from En 'land in May, ei fhteen hundred and thirt -ei ht. . , iw Y S He had been given full power and authority, and Queen Victoria trusted his loyalty, prudence, and courage. He was greeted at Quebec by Sir john Colborne, and then went to his residence, the Castle of St. Louis. He had a band and many assistants and soldiers with him and lived in princely style. He came lace to face with two problems right away. One was that the American sympathizers and refugee rebels were threatening to invade both the Canadas. This was very serious and might well have resulted in a war against the United States. Durham quickly wrote to the United States government at Hlashington, who put a stop to all these plots. The other problem was what to do with all the captured rebels who packed the jails of Montreal and Toronto. He opened the jails and set free all except the leaders. Sixteen ot these had already escaped and there were only eight left. He did not want them to have the disgrace of being sent to an Australian convict settlement. so he exiled them to Bermuda. Those who had escaped had gone to the States, and he forbade them, under pain of death, to return. His reason for doing this was that it was impossible to find impartial juries to have trials. Otherwise, many guilty men would be set free and many innocent men would be executed. Yvhen he reported his actions to Queen Victoria, his enemies in England, especially Lord Brougham, said that he had no authority in Bermuda and that his l53I SIEIWYYN HUl'Sl-1 SCHOOL Nl.'XG,'XZINIi autions haul been illegal. Although the Colonial Secretary and the Prime Nlinister haul said they approved ol his actions originally, they also turned against him and carried an .Mt ol Indemnity. 'l'he terms ol this act were very insulting to Durham. When he heard about all this, llurhami resigned his post and returned to linglanul. lle lelt Quebec with as much pomp as he haul arrived, Init did ll0l receive the ollu ial welcome in lingland that was his due. The people, however. cheered him and hailed him ioylnlly. He maule an indignant proclamation when he arrived in lingland, saying that he haul been in the right and criticizing those who blamed him. 'l'his was a mistake. The people would have haul more sympathy with him if he had remained silent. He haul at fiery temper amd was very proud-spirited, however, and mould not remain silent alter these insults. 'l'hen he started the thing that he did to help Cainada most. his Report on the Affairs ol british North America . He haul had assistants giving him reports on the conditions ol the Colonies. amd haul talked with people of all classes and front all parts ol the land. Thus he knew quite a lot about the country. This report changed the history ol Canada and England considerably. The reason lor this was that it changed Britain's whole colonial policy. If it had not been lor Durham's report, Canada might have rebelled like the United States. 'l'he Report lills a whole book amd took Durham three months to prepare. It is one ol the greatest state papers in the English language that has ever been written. I5urham's Report said that the lear ol letting the colonies have too much power amd freedom was false and dangerous. lt said that trying to limit the power and lreedom ol the colonies and lorbidding them to have a responsible government would irritate them into wishing to break away. He said that the best way to keep thetn attached to the mother country would be to let them have the same freedom of government amd liberty to govern themselves as the mother country and the British people enjoyed. They were as much British subjects as the people living in England amd were entitled to the same British rights of self-government. Instead ol a policy ol' force inspired by fear, he demanded the policy of Ireedom inspired by laith. This is the most important part of his report. He said that when he haul arrived. he had found two nations at war in a single state in Lower Canada. He said that this would rend the colony more than ever. His solution lor this was to reunite the two colonies. This would also help Upper Canada, which was on the verge of bankruptcy. His main reason. however, lor wanting the colonies united, was to prevent the revival ol the French assembly. With Upper Canada united to Lower, there would be at larger assembly with an Englishaspeaiking majority. This was the only part of Durham's Report which was aulopted iintnediately. Although the confederation of British North .Xmerica into the Dominion of Canada did not take place until over twenty years later. Durham was partly responsible for it. llnham was at natural leader. He was very popular with everybody he worked with. He might have become Prime Minister of lingland but his opinions were too extreme.

Anthony Bogert lForm Vly CANADX5 CONTRIBUTION TO THE BRITISH EMPIRE Canada, among the nations of the British Connnonwealth, is second only to the United Kingdom in world importance. The senior Dominion has an interesting early history mainly concerned with her own development and that of the Empire. While evidence has been discovered of early visits by Scandinavians, from Iceland. Canada's history can be dated from Cabot's first landing in H97. From that date until XVolle's victory over Montcalm, at Quebec in 1759, the record is one of strife between the French and English settlers. The years between the ceding ol New France to Britain, by the Treaty of Paris in l76El, and the federation of the English colonies in l8ti7 cover the period ol the introduction and growth of Responsible Government. The British North America Act, passed in ISIS? by the parliament of Great Britain, formally brought into being the Dominion of Canada. The Statute of NVestminster, passed in 1931, gave Canada the status of an independent nation within the British Commonwealth, the group of democratic countries from within the old Empire, held together by common interests and the tie of a common King. Canada has provided the world with an unparalleled example of two peoples of different racial and language backgrounds. living and developing together in peaceful and fruitful union. By treaty the British bound themselves to respect the language, religion and laws of the French. This they have done and in turn have won the respect ol their French compatriots. The Dominion's early governments followed a wise policy of restrictive immigra- tion and as a result Canada was peopled by the hnest type of settlers. English, Scottish, and Irish homesteaders largely developed the Maritimes, and Ontario. Later colonies of Germans and mid-Europeans came to the new country. One group which gave much to Canada were the United Empire Loyalists who, at the time of the American Revolution, found a refuge in Ontario, the Eastern Townships of Quebec and the Maritimes. The opening of the XVest, the vast granary of what is now the group of Prairie Provinces, provided farms for thousands of new settlers. Many of these came from the Highlands of Scotland. I55l Sl-.IAYYN H0l'Sli SCHOOL MAGAZINE One ol the most important conditions of the Confederation was the promise of a trans-Canada railway to link the older colonies of the East to the new lands. of the XVest. The building of the Canadian Pacihc Railway fulfilled this promise and the real development of Canada dates from its inception. During the Iorty odd years between the turn of the century and the beginning ol the World XVar ll, Canada developed her natural resources and her industries as well as opening up new farming lands. She led the world in the production of nickel and asbestos and ranked amng the highest producers of pulp, paper, and gold. Her fishermen shared. with those of the United States. the animal catch off the Grand lianks and Nlestern Coast of North America. ln XVorld XVar l, Canada freely sent her sons to serve in the Canadian Contingent. This body of troops were to win lame as the Canadian Corps under General Sir Arthur Currie. She also provided Great Britain and the Allies with foodstuffs and mcmey. In World XVar Il, Canada's part was far greater than any other nation of comparable size in population. Not only by means of her Army and the other Services, but as the home of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Canada played a key role i11 the war in the air. Her industries became an arsenal of war. Planes. ships, motor vehicles of all types and munitions were mamifactured in the factories and shipyards on a scale unthought of in previous years. The part Canada played in the development of the atomic research leading up to the production of the atomic bomb has yet to be told in detail. The finding of uranitnn deposits places her in the ranks of those nations which are capable of producing atomic energy. Canada has produced men of world fame in the Arts and Sciences. lt is not possible here to list them all but some of the more outstanding are:-Osler, Banting and Best in Medicine: Ernest Machfillan and Edward johnson in the world of Music: Thomas Chandler Haliburton, the creator of Sam Slick the Clockmaker , Stephen Leacock. Economist as well as Hmnonrist. Charles G. D. Roberts and his cousin Bliss Carmen, Poets. and Hugh MacLennan. Novelist, in the realm of Letters: Bonar Law, Vincent Nlassey and hi2lClLCI1liC King, Empire statesmen. These men are representative ol many Canadians who have achieved fame not only in their own country but also throughout the world. Canada's opportunity to make her greatest contribution to the Connnonwealth and the world lies in her Future. Going into the Atomic Age, she is in a position to become one of the leading nations of the world. Only a lack of population holds back her progress. There is room and the natural resources to accommodate millions. Her government must exercise judgment in accepting the right type of immigrants. Canada, a charter member of the United Nations. is an example of a working democracy and as such appeals to freedom-loving peoples wherever they exist under dictator rule. Population will be needed to develop the new North, population made up I 66 I FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1949-1950 not only of workers but also of those having technical skills. The North holds untapped treasures of mineral wealth and the hydro power to develop them. Canada, a young Nation, can look forward, with every confidence, to taking her place among the great Nations of the YVorld. Michael Dennis Qlform lVj SIR XVILFRID LAURIER Torday we in Canada have our second French'Canadian prime minister, Mr. Louis St. Laurent. Our first French-Canadian prime minister was one of the greatest that Canada ever had, Sir XVilfrid Laurier. Sir XVilfrid Laurier was born in year 1841 at St. Lin, Quebec. That was the year of the proclamation of the act joining the two Canadas. The joining of the two Canadas did not unite them in spirit, but Laurier was the man responsible for bringing the two races closer together with the common aim, the strengthening and exalting of their one country, Canada. His mother died when he was very young, but he never lost her memory or influence. He loved his stepmother dearly. He went to New Glasgow to study for two years in an English speaking school, as his father believed that a knowledge of the English language would be of great value. From the Scottish school he got his English with a bit of Scotch accent. There also he got a deep love for English literature. He enjoyed the days at New Glasgow while preparing the way for the great work before him. ' At the College of l'Assomption he showed great ability and was liked by all. The literary and classical training there was followed by a law course at McGill University. He worked in a law oflice to help him through college. He was very good in school debates. He started practice in Montreal, but because of ill-health he moved to Arthabaskaville, where he practised law and edited a daily paper. He made a special study on Abraham Lincoln. Laurier was married, in 1868, to Miss Zoe Lafontaine. with whom he lived a very happy life. XVatchful care improved his health, and before his death their golden wedding was celebrated. In 1871 his opening speech was in French, as a member of the Quebec Legislature. Four years later he spoke in English, as a Liberal member of the House of Commons. His manner, together with his force of reasoning, won him the highest place as a public speaker. In the Cabinet in 1876 and during the opposition of Macdonald rule he gained influence steadily. In 1887 Edward Blake dropped the opposition leadership to YVilfrid Laurier. His premiership, beginning in 1890, was the longest unbroken stretch of power in Canada's history to date. Choosing a cabinet with combined ability, he listened to their discussions and never dictated. In full sympathy with his own race, he was l57l Sl-ll.N'YN ll0l'Sl'.

XVherever he went with his straight hgure and open, kindly. yet keen-eyed countenance he was greatly greeted. Canada ill the person ol her hrst citizen, was brought closer to the heart ol the litnpire: yet at the Colonial Conlerence her separate lile as a nation colony was insisted upon by this tactful but independent Prime Minister. He was knighted by the queen, highly honored by the mother nation. yet modest and tranquil he passed on into the land of his fathers, France. Laurier with his gracious words and winning arguments removed the fear that his loyalty to the British Government had destroyed his devotion to ancestral French ideas. He was even able to lorm some strong new links in the growing bonds uniting France and lingland. He represented Canada twice, at the Coronations of King lidward Yll and King George V. The rebellion ol hall-breeds under Riel in the country brought from the lludson's Bay tlompanyl tariff measures: the trouble over denorninationalism in the Manitoba schools: disputes over railroadlbuilding: and C1anada's position on naval delense in liurope were sotue ol the questions in the discussion and settling of which Laurier had to lake part in during his career, lVhile he was Prime Minister conditions ol labor were improved greatly and technical education was given special attention. The country was increasing in population and was growing bigger in every way. 'l'hroughout his longadministration, Sir XVill'rid ministered in lact as well as in lorin, working lor the ends he most desired, liberty lor the people, prosperity for the land, harmony ol the races. and growth in nationhood. The two wars in which the British Empire had been recently involved have given Canada a chance to show her courage and loyalty. During the two wars, Sir lllillrid Laurier's task was tnade harder because ol the resistance stirred up in Quebec by the extreme French Nationalist Henri Bourassa, a grandson ol Papineau. ln the case ol the Boer XVar in l8El9, liourassa urgently protested against Canada taking part in it. And during the XVorld l'Var ol llll-l Laurier in opposition felt unable to join a coalition government, learing that such a step would send his French following over to Bourassa and lead to open rebellion. The Liberal government of Laurier had been overthrown in lflll, when liourassa and the Nationalists worked with the Conservatives in opposing it on the questions ol naval delense and reciprocity in trade with the United States. The lirst year ol the XVorld XX'ar all party issues were ptll aside. Liberals granted the Conservative government under Sir Robert Borden unhampered leadership. Sir NVillrid Laurier said in Parliament: XVe raise no question, we take no exception, we oller no critic ism, and shall oller no criticism so long as there is danger at the front . 'lihis unity, unhappily. could not weather the storms of war problems and war policies. Final division came over the question ol conscription which was opposed by Laurier and ntany ol the Liberals.

Peter Nlitchell tForm Vlj AN OU'l'STANDINCL PliRSON.XLlTY OF TODAY Times ol National crisis always produce leaders who are capable ol meeting the emergency. ln the rather quiet times between the two XVorld XVars, there were no great leaders in either England or the United States beca11se there were no political crises in these countries. However. the outbreak of war in September. 1939, brought forth in England one of the greatest leaders that that country has ever known: NVinston Churchill. This famous man's mother. Bliss Alennie Jerome, daughter of Mr. Leonard Jerome ol' Madison Square, Manhattan. and l1is lather. Lord Randolph Spencer Churchill, cadet of His Grace, The Duke of Nlarlborough, were married after a short engagement on April l5, 187-l. Seven months later on the third of December. 1874, The Times ol London printed among its birth notices: On the 30th of November at Blenheim Palace. tl1e Lady Randolph Churchill prematurely of a son . From the very day of his birth, Xvinston was in a hurry. As in many great Iinglish families i11 Victorian days, the little boy was rather neglected. He was a strong-willed, high-strung boy. XYhen his only confidante, his nurse, was to be replaced by a governess. he hid in the woods. They caught hi1n and brought him home. The governess proved even stiffer and more rigid than he had feared. Yet she did not hinder his dream world. He was allowed to play with his magic lantern, his two thousand lead soldiers wearing the uniform of all the British regiments and his real steam engine. XVhen he was transferred to St. james School, Ascot. even those toys were taken away. He Cl'2lIl1lllC'Ql Latin into his head. O Mensa , taught the schoolmaster, You use the vocative when yo11 address the table . he explained. But I never speak to a table . XVinston told him. XVinston was frightfully lonesome in his school. His mother was far away, and his father kept aloof too. It was not until he fell seriously ill that he got any affection from his parents. XVinston's parents planned an army career for their son, and so lVinston spent three of his four and a half years at Harrow in the army class. It was preparation for Sandhurst, the academy for gentleman cadets. There he became a celebrated horseman l59l SEIAYYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE ancl an excellent lencer. Moreover, he soon led his class in Tactics and Fortilication, the two most important subjects. ln lblflli Winston Churchill sailed with the British Cavalry lor lnclia, there to begin his military career. His outstanding military ability quickly won him the rank ol major in his regiment. He saw military service both in lnclia and Egypt, winning a medal lor gallant conduct in the liattlc- ol Khartum. During the South Alrican XVar hc' was correspondent lor a London newspaper. On lanuary 23, llllll, XVinston tlhurchill entered the llouse ol Commons, thus beginning one ol the most glorious political careers in all British History. On February 27. llllll, late in the evening, XiVinston Clhurchill, Conservative M.P., delivered his maiden speech. The House received him with high expectation although he was still personally unknown to two-thircls ol' the members. Like his lather, he was past master in the art ol' oratory and this more than any other single leature explains why he has played such a tremendous role during two wars and two long periods of peace in llritish History. Soon alter his entry into Parliament he cast his lot with the Liberals, and in 1905 during the Campbell liannerman Ministry, became Parliamentary Secretary for the Colonies. From H108 to lfllll he was President of the Board ol' Trade, in l9l0 became Home Secretary and in lflll was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty in the .Xsquith Ministry, being one ol the youngest men who ever held this office. Though Churchill was an advocate ol a strong Navy, in l9l3 he suggested to Germany the plan ol a Navy Holiday , each nation to cease adding to its Navy lor one year. The next year saw nearly all Europe involved in the greatest conflict ol modern times, the war ol' the nations. lIhurchill's conduct ol' Naval affairs in the war, especially in connection with the campaign in the Darclanelles. caused much clissatislaction. and when the Cabinet was reorganized in l9l5, he was relieved of the portlolio, and appointed Chancellor ol' the Duchy ol Lancaster. Then he was Minister ol' Mnnitions. l9lT-l9l9, Secretary ol XVar and Air, IEPISI-l92l, and Secretary of State lor the Lolonies lrom the latter year. Important as all the above achievements ol Mr. Churchill are, it is in the period leading up to and including the second XVorld XVar, that he shines as the brightest star in the British Empire. Throughout the 19303, while Hitler and Mussolini were building up vast military machines, Mr. Churchill continuously advised the British Ciovermnent to prepare lor military action against these two dictators. This warning was continuously ignored by the shortsightecl politicians in power at the time. .Ks a result, Britain found hersell totally unprepared to meet the emergency of war when it broke out in I939. ln lllclll the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, a rather quiet, unwarlike man, was asked to resign to make way for the man in England capable ol leading her people against Germany. With his usal optimism and great courage, this true warrior inspired every person in England to clelencl his country against the loe. Even while London itself was being bombed twenty-lour hours a clay, this man personally went about the ruins. encouraging the survivors to carry on. .Ks Prime Minister he supervised air attacks on Germany, Naval attacks on her lleet, as well as organizing Home Defence. 170' FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1949-1950 To Mr. Churchill more than to any other single person do we owe the Victory of the Allied Forces.

Tnnnnns QForm Vj BLACK GOLD Black Gold or oil is of the utmost importance in the world of today. just like the gold rushes ol the previous century. today it is the search for oil. If you happen to own an oil-well, you don't have to worry about income tax because oil is taxefree. Oil is of a very wide distribution. It was known to the ancients, and the Romans used oil in its crude form for their lamps. Not until the 19th century did the oil I75l SIQLWYN HOI'SIi SCHOOL MAGAZINE industry begin. The place of its origin and the country that has continually led in the production of oil is the l'.S.A. As early as l829, a producing well was drilled near liurkesville. Kentucky. but the oil went to waste because the chief use for it was in medicine and the supply was greater than the demand. ln 1854 a producing cotnpany, the Penn. Rock Oil Company was organized. and a well that flowed from 400 V l000 barrels a day was drilled. Not until l85-1, however, when Col. E. L. Drake completed a well near Titusville, Penn., was the American oil industry established on a sound basis. By l93l overproduction of oil in the U.S.A. reached such a stage, that in Oklahoma and Texas the oil wells were restricted in output in an effort to prevent complete demoralization of the industry. ln Canada the first major discovery of oil was in May l9l4 in Turner Valley- the British Iimpire's hrst major oil and gas field, located 25 miles southwest of Calgary. So far, Turner Valley has produced nearly 100,000,000 barrels of oil, and has upwards of 25,000,000 barrels yet to go. In I9-I2 Turner Valley reached its peak of 30,000 barrels daily and then, as all fields do, reached its peak and began to decline. After Turner Valley petered out, much exploration was carried out, but nothing of importance was found. By 1946 hopes for major oil discoveries reached a low ebb. Then on February IS, 1947 a new era dawned. Imperial Oil brought in its Leduc No. l as a thousand barrel gusher. Today Leduc is rated an oil reserve good for upwards of 250,000,000 barrels, plus 501l,000,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas. The mile-deep field, rapidly developed. is now capable of putting Olll over 40,000 barrels daily. Alberta's Premier Ernest Manning announced in legislature last week that this year, for the first time, Alberta's revenue from its state owned wells will be greater than its income from taxation. This year, for the hrst time in history, Alberta oil has made the Prairie Provinces selfasuflicient in petroleum. There is good reason to hope that, in from three to five years, Alberta can develop oil reserves and productive potential large enough to make all of Canada sufficient in petroleum. These Alberta oil reserves are very important to Canada and our friends among world nations frotn the defence viewpoint. The more oil found, the more secure we will be, should joe Stalin and his gang decide to declare war. During the last world war the U.S.A. had to carry the brunt of the supply burden of oil to the allies. At least 2,000,000 barrels a day are necessary for the fighting job alone. It is no longer capable of supplying a war and serving civilian needs. In the Middle East are located half the world's proved oil reserves. These Arab countries are the only ones presently capable of expanding to fuel a war and joe Stalin sits right behind these reserves. He could take over, or at least neutralize Middle East oil in event of war. For saf'ety's sake alone, great oil reserves in Canada and the means of producing, transporting and refining these reserves, are vital not only to us but also to the U.S.A., Great Britain and our other good friends in the world. Peter Cowie QForm Vlj l76 l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1949-1950 TXVO THOUSAND MILES AN HOUR As the last notes of reveille sounded far off at the army camp a young man opened his eyes to greet the early New Mexico sun. The tall broad-shouldered man was Captain George Campbell, chief lest pilot for the United States Air Force. Slipping into his clothes he remembered that this was the day he had been anticipating for the last two years- the final testing of the new top-secret jet fighter. Captain Campbell had a physique that was the envy of all the men at the base. He stood a little over six leet tall and his body was a mass of powerful muscles. His lean. handsome lace had the look of a mature man although he was just approaching his twenty-sixth birthday. He had been a top track star at the air-force training school and now he quarterbacked the testing base's football team. After he had Hnished dressing, he started over to the mess hall where he met Brigadier johnson, his commanding officer, who was head of the research division at the YVhite Sands Experimental Station. The flight of the new ship was set for seven- thirty. so the Captain merely had a cup of coffee. The Brigadier had an important engagement, so he left Campbell sitting alone at the table. Campbell had been a member of the Air Force for the last nine years. At seven- teen he had entered the service of his country and less than six months later he had finished his training and was transferred to the European Theatre as a lighter pilot. The freckle-faced lad was the youngest member of his squadron and was nicknamed Tex for the broad accent he had brought with him from his native state. He served for three years, amassing a total of forty-five enemy planes destroyed, whereupon he was returned to the States to instruct new men. His decorations included the Air Force Cross, Two Oak Leaf Clusters and numerous campaign awards. Having finished his scanty breakfast, the Captain drove over to the hangar some five miles distant. where the plane was housed. At numerous intervals along the route he was stopped by Military Police, demanding identification. Inside the building he found to his surprise that, besides the expected scientists, numerous high oHicials were also present. He immediately went into a side room to receive final instructions from the plane's builders and to change into a special shock-absorbing flying suit which had been designed especially for him. XVhen he carrie out, the plane had already been towed out in front of its hangar. Officially it was known as the C-96 jet fighter. It was nearly thirty feet long with jet intakes placed on each side of the body. Mounted on the wings were rockets to assist it in the take-off. If it proved successful, the ship would be the fastest jet in existence. Planes powered by rockets had already exceeded 1200 mph which the new plane was designed for, but these had a limited fuel capacity and could fly at high speeds for short intervals. The sun had become a Fiery ball of fire in the sky as the Captain climbed into the cockpit and pulled the heavy Pyraglass hood over his head. He checked the oxygen and pressurizing systems and waving a cheer to the assembled men he opened the throttle and the plane began to move. The VVhite Sands Base is located on an innnense desert plateau, so flat that it provides a fifty mile runway, giving the planes i771 Sl-IIAYYN H0l'Sli SCHOOL NIXGXZINE ample room to take ofl and land. The plane was now gathering speed and the pilot pressed the switch firing the rockets. The craft seemed to jump off the ground and in one minute had climbed over ten thousand feet. .Xt hfty-five thousand Campbell steadily increased the speed to six huntlred-seven ln1ndred-1000-one thousand- lifteen hundred and at last two thousand miles per hour. Below the earth was flashing by at a terrific' speed. 'I'here was no sound in the cotkpit, save for the hum of the engine. .Xs he started to turn the plane and reduee the speed, the ship suddenly seemed to shudder in the air. lt began to lose altitude and Campbell struggled to keep it aloft. With only seconds remaining belore an innninent crash. he managed to right the plane and bring it to a sale landing. Upon examination the fuel pump was found to have a defect and when this was fixed, some months later Campbell again flew it successfully. He Contributed much value to the ,Xirforte in information and has been promoted for his achievements.

Rob soon became friendly with another ship's boy of eighteen, jefl Nlitchum. -jeff knew Rob only as Rob Renny, his mother's maiden name that he had taken on when he had gone to sea. To start with, the two boys were the best of friends but very slowly jeff became jealous. Rob was the younger of the two, the more alert also. He seemed better at everything than jeff. The jealousy gave way to bitter hatred when -Iefl had his left hand severed while running past an aetive boat winch while on a practice lifeboat cruise. It happened to be Rob's duty to start the machinery for number four lifeboat while the brew got to their stations, so that Alefl always regarded Rob responsible for the accident. Alefl's hatred slowly turned to near insanity so that he craved for a plan by which he rould vet his own back on Rob. wi FOR THF SCHOOL YEXR N494 1950 The chance never seemed to come. XVhen the ship's course went through shark infested waters Rob was never near enough to the rail to be nudged over the side. lVhenever a Sl0l'Il1 broke, he was always below deck or running errands, anywhere but on deck. After two weeks -leffs insane chance came. lt had been noticed that some cargo in number two hold had worked itself lree and it had to be righted back into position with the cargo winches. XVhen the hold was opened, many peered below to see what had become loose. Rob was one of the inquisitive who leaned over the hold, intent on the sailors working below, when he felt a rope pulling his feet from beneath him, and as he fell twisting and turning to the bottom of the hold he saw kleff's leering face looking down at him with glazed eyes and a satisfied, malicious grin on his lips. lfVhen Rob was brought on deck his back was broken and his legs were paralyzed after hitting the corner of a crate of machinery that was being sent to Nova Scotia from Liverpool. Only one man had seen the cause of the accident and that was the cook. who had been coming out of the companion way just as jeff had pulled a loose rope off one of the tarpaulin covers lor the hold. Unluckily for jeff, the cook happened to have known Miss Renny before her marriage, so instead of telling the captain what he had seen, he waited until he got back to Liverpool and tried to Find Rob's mother. After being told that she had died a few years previously, he started to look for Rob's father, whose name he found in a coast guard report two years later. The cook on meeting Tim Jordon recognized him as a sailor with whom he had sailed nine years before. The story was promptly told and it was arranged that Jeff should be landed with the excuse that he was useless on board with only one hand. XVith careful manipulation Jordon succeeded in trans- ferring Jeff to the lonely lighthouse where he could help clean the lamps and the bells each day. Old Tim had worked out his plan in the same methodical way with which he lit the lamps, step by step, changing his ideas and testing them with the same care that he adjusted the wicks ol the lamp before passing on to the next. Tim altered the glass of the lamp once a week and it was his usual habit to take the dirty glass down to the boat ramp and rinse it carefully in the sea and then take off any oil with soap and kerosene. lVhen he had his plan worked out, he made sure that the tide would be low around sunset and it would start to rise an hour later, making the usual whirlpools that could spin a small boat half a mile out to sea in the undercurrents. He watched the tide carefully until low tide fell exactly at sunset. He then quickly took out the glass and told Jeff that he would clean it before it got too dark. On reaching the ramp he cleaned the glass, and then, seeing that Jeff was occupied elsewhere, he started rubbing the wet soap all over the stone ramp, worn smooth by boats and the sea. XVhen all the ramp was covered below the usual high tide mark he went inside again making sure that the bar of soap was half way down the ramp and also that there was some rope near the door of the boathouse. 1791 SICLXYYN HOl'Sli SCHOOL MAGAZINE Tim waited lor hall' an hour and then pretended to look for something. XVhen llelf asked what it was, he replied that he couldn't find the soap and he had oil all over his hands. .lell said that he hadn't had it with him when he came up from the quav and that he would go and look lor it, thereby making Tim's task very much easier than he had expected. Tim then climbed the ladder to the lamp room, glancing at his watch as he did so. l-Qxactly thirty seconds to seven and he knew that the ferry would be passing at seven. He knew also that all the people on the island set their clot ks by the time that he started the lighthouse lamp. He waited, ten, twenty, twenty-live. at last thirty seconds, in perlect timing with his plans: he heard Jeff's scream as he slipped oil the ramp. ln the same instant Tim opened the shutter of the lighted lamp, letting the beam strike out toward the slow-moving ferry. lVith the 1tI't and speed of long practice he ran down the ladder, and picking up the rope that he had lelt ready he went to the side of the ramp, Carefully avoiding the slippery surface. As the beam ol' light swung round he saw AleH's head and arms above the water. XVith careful aim he threw the rope six feet to the left of the body. When the beam again flashed past Tim saw the handless wrist vainly grabbing for the rope as the bobbing spot was spun round and round, slowly gaining speed until it was taken lrom sight beneath the thundering waves. Later that night, when the sea had calmed down, a boat came slowly toward the rocks. NVhen it reached the ramp the ferry captain and the island's village priest slowly climbed up to the quay over the very place where a few hours before the soap had been spread but had soon been washed away by the high waves. The captain ol the ferry had seen the silhouette ol' a body falling into the sea, but as soon as the light had come on. he had realized that it couldn't have been Tim falling. The old sailor explained sorrowfully how he had tried to help jeff with a rope, and how it had been impossible to put out the small boat in the high seas. The two men went quietly away. leaving Tim staring at the ramp, and he can still be seen on one day of the week sitting on the quay cleaning the lamp glass, but he never uses soa ml , . . I Iony Hildred QForm Vlj MY FAVOURITE PICTURE My favourite picture is not an oil painting by a fatnous artist, or a beautiful portrait, or a wellaknown print. lt is an enlarged snapshot, finished like a photograph, about eighteen inches by twelve, plainly framed, which was given to us one Christmas. Sometime l should like to read a real description of this picture. written by a good author, who could. as lamous writers do, make one actually feel what he describes. The picture was taken in 1908 or 1909 at Bertsimias on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence River, of Pere Arnaud, an Oblate Father, who was born in France about l825. Pere .Xrnaud came to Canada about I8-lb as a Nlissionary. and worked exclusively amongst the Indians. He is pictured. as we see him. standing on the tiny platform outside ot his little chapel, smiling at his people. His hair is snow white, cut rather iw FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1949-H450 long, and sweeps back from a very high forehead. His eyebrows are dark and bushy, and his eyes have many little wrinkles at the side, which usually belong to kindly, laughing people, with twinkling eyes. His nose is rather large and aquiline, his mouth is smiling, hrm and kindly, his chin just out slightly and looks strong. The photograph is in prohle, and Pere Arnaud's shoulders are stooped. He is almost round-shouldered, which might be due to old age, toiling in a garden, or bending over sick people. Somehow he looks sunburned. ln the background are two or three tiny wooden cottages. partly painted white. with slanting roofs. There is a straggling fence around them, but while everything looks neat and tidy, the grass and shrubs are rather shaggy and very countrified. It cannot be that Pere Arnaud is merely what the modern person calls photogenic. He looks kindly, charming and utterly loveable: as though he would understand one's problems and troubles, and as though he would equally enjoy having Sunday dinner with the family and playing afterwards with the children. Somehow just looking at Pere Arnaud smiling at the Indians away down the St. Lawrence River makes one wish that one were a rather nicer Jerson oneself. . I Pierre Raymond fForm lVj TORONTO SU BXVAY SYSTEM Ever since the end of XVorld X'Var Two, the traffic congestion in Canada's main cities has become so serious that now it takes anywhere from two or three hours to half a day to get through the city. The reason for this is, ol' course, the mass production of cars being produced since the end of the war and also the lifting of the gasoline rationing. The city worst struck with this plague of cars is Toronto. It is hard to believe that there are more automobiles registered in the city of Toronto than in the whole province of Quebec. The city had lengthy debates as to how to cope with this growing difficulty, and found the only solution was to do away with the surface street-cars, and have subways. Plans for a subway were drawn up and the multi-million dollar contract was given to the Atlas Construction Company of Canada. NVork on the subway commenced on September 9, I9-19, and it is expected that, by early l95l, the First part will be completed and a temporary service will be set up then. The exact contracts that are now under construction for the subway are from Union Station, at the waterfront, to Carleton Street. The method of construction considered IIIOSL suitable for Toronto is known as cut and cover . In this method the roadway is excavated a block at a time to a depth of eighteen feet, a temporary deck is placed over the excavation and normal street traffic is resumed. Then further excavation and construction are carried out under the decking. The first operation is to dig a trench or series of trenches on each side of the street along the outside lines of the subway excavation. These trenches locate the water pipes and other utility feeders to buildings so that they may be avoided during pile l81l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL lNfAG.XZlNIi driving. Along the trenches, steel pipes are driven every six feet. They provide support for the temporary street decking. When the excavation reaches a sufficient depth, steel trusses or girder beams spamming the excavation are placed every twelve feet, resting on alternate pairs of piles. These trusses or beams carry the temporary street decking of twelve inch by twelve inch timbers. Additional steel reinforcing is placed under the street car tracks. The pipes are then suspended from the beams. Some of the most interesting features of the Yonge Street Rapid Transit route will be:-'l'he operation will be controlled by completely modern signal equipment, including automatic train stops. Ultimate capacity will be forty thousand passengers per hour in each direction, which provides amply for the predicted growth of Toronto. High level subway platforms will be located as close as possible to the street surface, giving the maximum of convenience for passengers. liscalators will facilitate rapid and orderly movement of passengers at all the stations. This is the hrst subway system in Canada and will be owned by the Toronto Transportation Commission, which is regarded as North America's best and most economical city transportation system. A subway system like this would help traffic tie-ups in Montreal greatly, but so far nothing has been done about one. But who knows, - someday in the near centuries to come Montreal might possess its own Rapid Transit Subway Lompany. Wesley Mason QFOND VD A HUNTING TRIP Near Kingston, jamaica, is a series of swamps and lagoons called Salt Ponds , separated from the Caribbean by a thin strip of beach. On this beach there is a shabby cabin, the home of an old Negro fisherman named Charlie. One day when I was buying some fish in Kingston market I overhead him telling a group of people that an alligator had eaten his dog. I asked him if there was any chance ol my shooting one in Salt Ponds . He assured me he could Gnd one for me - And a big one for true, massa , he added, I knew de cave where him live . A few mornings later a motorboat took me to Charlie's cabin where he and his brother greeted me. The three of us got into a native dugout and set off across a lagoon. On the way to the swamp Charlie explained how each alligator had its own special cave. The mouths of these caves were under water, Qlike a beaver's holej, but they sloped upwards inside so that the alligator could be with its body in the water but with its head above it, getting its air through a small hole in the earth above. We tied up the dugout at the mouth of the creek and climbed out on the mangrove trees which covered the top of the creek, then clambered through their tangled branches. Charlie led the way, followed by his brother, who was carrying a 1821 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1949-1950 long pole roughly sharpened at one end. After fifty yards of this monkey-like procedure, Charlie said that we were over the cave and he posted me in the branches to watch the WZIICI' and to shoot if I saw an alligator emerge from under the bank and swim towards the lagoon. He and his brother climbed down onto the mud and proceeded to the pole into the muck where they imagined the landward end of the cave to be. Suddenly there was a rumble and a shudder that shook the entire swamp around us and a yell from Charlie. Him dere massa! I jook him! XVatch him come! A cloud of mud came into the clear water of the creek accompanied by a vague yellowish mass. I fired into it. There was an upheaval of the mud and water and a pair of jaws snapped viciously above the surface. Then quiet. The mud cleared. Nothing was to be seen. Charlie said that 1 must have hit him but he had probably gone back into his cave to die and there was no sense in trying to get him out again. My spirits were greatly roused and I persuaded the lazy Negroes to go on prodding. After a while came another shudder followed by terrified yells from Charlie. Him got de pole in him mouth! He heaved on the pole, Lard me Gard, what vo' t'ink o' dat? He showed the mole a Good two feet shorter, a Jiece bitten clean off . l o l the end althoulh it was three inches thick. From then on, everv time the Jole was S . I pushed down, the alligator would snnply bite oil another piece. By now it was very hot and the swamp steamed and smelt horribly. The mosquitoes and sandllies were even biting through my shirt and it was obvious that the Negroes were thoroughly discouraged. Suddenly a yell which far surpassed the other two was let Olll by Charlie. I looked down and saw the two brothers climbing into the branches as fast as they could go, literally gibbering with fright, and pointing to the ground. There, emerging from the hole made by the Negroes, was a huge yellow-green head, its little pig eyes gleaming and the evil, uneven yellow teeth grinding in its two foot long jaws. It looked like nothing on earth. I shot it above the left eye. lt gave a jerk and lay still. I came down from the branches to examine the corpse. But it was by no means a corpse, for as I bent over it, it forced its small front legs through with a squelch and lurched towards me with its mouth wide open. I broke all records getting back into the branches and from there I finished it off with two more shots. We got a rope from the dugout and it took the three of us an hour, struggling in the slime, to drag the carcass from the cave through the swamp to the lagoon and to manoeuver it into the boat. lfVe measured it on the landin '- twelve feet, in s ite of the fact that its tail S P had apparently been bitten off when young and ended in a stump. David Seymour QForm Vj i821 SIQIJYYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE THI-I LUCKY FIND Lt. ylohn Knowles, R.N.V.R., sat on a valve wheel in the torpedo room of the .Xmerican submarine, S-53. The was on the bottom of the North Sea oil Heligoland. It had torpedoed a German Battle Cruiser and had damaged the cruiser badly, but the S-53 had been damaged itsell by the depth charges ol the escorting vessels. lt was now lying in three hundred and hfteen feet ol' water. about a hundred more than it was built lor. Rivets had sprung due to the tremendous pressure, while the engine room was completely llooded with only a small watertight door holding the water from the rest ol the sub. Several attempts had been made to blow the water from the ballast tanks with compressed air, but these had lailed. As -Iohn Knowles sat thinking, with the other six men lelt ol a crew ol thirty-two, of the past iour hours during which they had been on the bottom, he suddenly remembered the low pressure pump. He outlined his idea to the crew and alter half an hour's hard work, with the air getting more deadly with car- bon dioxide, the pump was ready. The motor was turned on and the clutch engaged. liveryone looked at the small whirlpool in the middle of the room which showed that the WLIICI' was going out ol' the sub. A cheer started. but ended suddenly as the whirlpool disappeared. The motor was still going, but the smooth leather plates of the clutch were slipping and started to smoke. The motor was immediately turned off and water poured on the clutch to cool it. Disappointment was on the laces ol all as they went wearily back to their places. Then one ol' the men suggested that the Clutch plates should be tightened, but this proved hard to do. because the clutch was set behind pipes. But at last the task was done, again the motor was started. again the whirlpool, but this time no cheer, for they were waiting to see if the clutch would slip. It did slip and this titne even greater disappointment was registered on all the faces. Hack in the torpedo room Lt. Knowles looked over every valve. switch and pipe. even the torpedoes, but could find no use lor any of these. He was gazing down at his leet when he noticed behind his lelt loot an emery wheel, used for grinding purposes. Instantly an idea sprang into his head. He seized the wheel and proceeded to break it into small pieces and then grind these into powder. All the crew thought that he had gone mad as he went over to the switchboard, turned on the pump motor, walked over to the clutch and engaged it, and threw some of the emery powder between the plates. The whirlpool in the tniddle of the room came again and this time stayed! This titne the clutch did not slip! All eyes stared in amazement as the water in the main control- room went down. After seven hours on the bottom, the S-53 broke through to the surface of the North Sea, all ol her crew thankful for the lucky find.
