5x1 IT! C r-a hi A-- O P' x Cllihitnrial Perhaps the establishing of a House System for intra-mural games and other activities is the major addition to our school life this year, From Form B to Form YI all boys have been allocated to one of the four Houses, named after the four Headmasters in the history of the school, and rivalry has been very keen in all branches of competition. In school sports the junior soccer team won the Varsley fup in competi- tion with Sedbergh School and the senior hockey team retained the Timmins Trophy in matches with Ashbury Vollege on total points. This year for the hrst time we held a school ski meet at St. Sauveur and also a school gymnastic dis- play. Dramatics and Choral entertainments were presented as in past years, and this year a forty-five minute programme was broadcast over station FFCF in the Voice of Youth series. We were all very sorry to hear that illness had forced Mr. Howis to retire from teaching after so many years of wonderful service. To Mr. Phillips, who succeeded him as Senior Master, we should like to extend our hearty congratula- tions, and to new members of the staff, Mr. Davies, Mr. Iversen, Mr. Mingie and Miss McPherson, we would bid a cordial welcome. To Dr. Arthur R. jewitt, principal of Bishop's Vniversity, we should like to express our appreciation of his line Foreword to this issue, and to all others who have contributed in any way we extend our thanks. Our good wishes go with all the Senior boys who are leaving the school this year. May they carry forward, wherever they go, the fine spirit they have shown at Selwyn House. l9l
