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.

FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 194941950 Svpnrba Idriz-:P-giuing JUNE, mm In order to avoid the possibility ol wet weather again interfering with our sports prize-giving. it was decided to hold most ol the annual sports ahead of the actual prize-giving date, and to have the prize-giving ceremony in the upper Molson Field with family races and refreslmients. 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. The following were the awards presented by Brigadier Drury:- I. 100 yards fopenj 7. Broad blunzp fopenj lst R. Sproule lst D. Sproule Qnd B. Cusson 2nd P. Dolisie 2. 100 yards funder 13 yearsl S.
