Tout, dans une maison de haut enseignement comme l'Ecole Selwyn, se ramene a la conquete et au respect de la verite. Yerite dans Vexpression artistique de la pensee litteraireg verite dans la solution des problemes mathematiquesg verite dans la rectitude de la pensee philosophique. Tout l'elTort educateur con- court donc a faire reconnaitre et honorer la majeste souveraine de la verite. Cet effort exige un travail personnel aussi bien que des exercices d'equipe, grace auxquels les jeunes trouvent ici un moyen puissant d'afliner leurs facultes intellectuelles, leurs qualites morales et sportives. La se trouve le secret de la formation veritable, celle qui forme des hommes complets, prets a donner, dans la vie de la cite, la pleine mesure d'une collaboration eclairee et devouee. C'est cette haute ambition que j'ai admiree chez les grands educateurs que j'ai eu l'avantage de voir a l'oeuvre a Selwyn House . C'est aussi un spectacle de belle realisation que j'ai apergu dans les francs visages et la tenue distinguee des etudiants que j'ai eu la bonne fortune de rencontrer. A tous, avec mes voeux renouveles de succes, j'olTre l'expression de ma vive admiration. GASPARD FAUTEUX Lieutenant-Gouverneur I E S . ' 4 k Q f-Vxg.

The pomp and paeeantry of it all f-'f brilliant ceremonial, llashing uniforms, glittering display of an Empire's homage f-will be a deeply moving spectacle in itself. But behind the traditional ritual and sym- bolism of the coronationfinhnitely meaningful though they may befour eyes are lixed upon the central figure of the young Queen herself. We see youth at the helmfclear-eyed. steadfast and purposefulfand we too would pay our simple tribute to our Liege Lady, her quiet courage in accept- ing crushing responsibilities, her vision of a fairer tomorrow if we are worthy of our best, her dedication to the highest in service and self-sacriticeffand with it all that spirit of humanity and humility which makes an abiding home for her in the inner shrine of our hearts.

Howes. Miss Gault has proved a most valuable addition in the Otiice and Mr. Howes' enthusiasm for the teaching of middle and junior school boys both in class and in cubs has earned for him the thanks of all concerned. Mr. Harold Bott, MA., most kindly helped out during Mr. Phillips' illness in the Fall. VVe are delighted to hear periodically from former members of the Staff- Miss Snead, who, though happily settled in Sussex, England, always loves to hear news of Selwyn House, Mr. Perkins, whose new school at Lancaster, Ontario -Waverley Boy's School-started off on its first year with Hying colours last September: and Lieutenant-Commander Picard, now serving in Quebec City. We have been pleased to have a visit from time to time from Mr. Howis, whose presence is a signal for happy laughter and fun amongst his former students.

The choirs have taken part in the Christmas and Easter entertainments, and were also heard on the Voice of Youth programme on March 22nd. XVe were once again asked to sing carols at the M..-X.A.A. Christmas Party and a picked choir of twenty voices performed very satisfactorily on that occasion. The enthusiasm of the boys in the three choirs is high and the improvement in the singing is limited only by the amount of time available for rehearsals. TH If LIBRARY The past year has been an interesting one for the Library. VVQ have had many exhibits, well illustrated by the members, and we have had distinguished visitors, among whom were the Hon. Gaspard Fauteux, Lieut.-Governor of Quebec, and Lord Lovat of Commando fame, The Christmas Term opened with a study of shells and sea-shore life. Some valuable specimens were shown. The most out-standing collection was that of Michael Berrill, whose unusual examples from England and Florida stimulated research work and were the object of much admiration. Peter Cumyn displayed an interesting group of shells, and a very large star fish. Bill Hambly had a lovely piece of stag-horn coral and a heavy cone-shaped shell, the name of which we were unable to find. Nikolas Kairis had a very good collection of small shells and coral. Peter Xobbs exhibited two tlounders of the variety which expands when attacked. These we found quite unique. Tony and Nicky Le Kloine showed two 'year-old' alligators-very good examples in perfect condition. These created a sensation in our exhibition. The background to this display was provided by Happy Baxter's pictures of Ilnder-Sea shells in all their beauty, with the divers at work obtaining the very types of shells exhibited in our cases. Bill Ilesler also supplied pictures. These were of unusual kinds of shells from different parts of the world. They were very interesting and decorative. Dwight Brainerd showed two boxes of exquisitely coloured shells from Nlartha's Vineyard. The eockle shells were specially lovely. He also had a large wbelk shell. Yytis liaestli had two shells to show in the exhibit. l12l COMBINED CHOIRS 'VD If A .-4 'Nl ur -. v-1 SELWYN HOl'SE SCHOOL MAGAZINE On the fourteenth of October the coin exhibition was opened. The first contribution came from Stephen Parker. He showed two medals of bronze which were excellent portraits of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. It is thought they were designed just before or just after the tragedy of their deaths. He also had a medal of the Duke and Duchess of York. the latter whose death we have been lately mourning as Queen Mary. Stephen displayed a variety of coins and German bills, coins from Portugal, Germany, jamaica. Holland and Venezuela. Michael Berrill had an extremely interesting collection of coins, the most important of which were those dating from the Roman occupation of Britain, nearly two thousand years ago. The features of the Roman Emperors could be discerned quite plainly. Michael also had coins of Norway under the Nazis, as well as examples from ten other countries and three coins of Old China. A great deal of interest centred round the shilling of Edward YI, 11547- 15533 lent by Peter Xobbs. It was in good condition and the features of the little King were recognizable. John Clarke exhibited a shilling of the time of the great Queen Elizabeth I. These two coins seemed to bring that period of history very near us. Clarke's further collection included a unique penny of George III. It weighed two ounces. He also had good Roumanian coins. which lack of space prevents our describing. Francisco Cardona exhibited a good collection of English coins from the early Victorian period to George YI. He also had coins of India of Geo. V, and Pakistan of today, as well as a Russian 10 kopek piece of the time of the Czars, 119041, and a gold 20 fr. from Monaco, 1951. Mark Boundy showed coins of the German occupation of France. VVe noted that the familiar legend on the coins of Liberty, Fraternity. and EquaIity was changed by the Germans to Labour, Family, S Country . Mr. B. Ii. T. Howls kindly contributed a set of Maundy Money of the reign of George Y. Ian Robertson exhibited a piece of gold from the Cadillac Mine, Quebec, which was the only example of gold in the collection. Vytis Kaestli lent an interesting group of Swiss coins. Hugh Turnbull exhibited a collection which included an 'Eagle' American dollar of 1922. Bill Pedoe's exhibit showed a penny from Ireland of 1935 besides a good collection of Dutch coins, and a crown piece of 'The Festival of Britain'. Tommy Gray lent a 500 reis bill from Brazil. David Barry showed Venezuelan and Argentinian coins as well as an eastern coin. Peter Hyde exhibited a few from his large collection showing the German occupation ofFrance,besidesothers from Austria,Switzerland, England and Brazil. Bill Hesler's collection of South American bills was extremely good. Christopher Coristine showed French, German, English, and Portuguese coins, all of interest. Michael Dunn exhibited a very interesting collection of Irish coins: a set of Maundy Money, 1908, and a Greek coin. unique in the exhibit. john Chamard showed coins of France and Switzerland, which were very interesting. Nicholas Le Moine exhibited some unusual eight and five franc pieces of the Bourbon dynasties in France and Spain in the XVIII century. They were in such good condition that the kings could be recognized. Carlos Mejia showed the only Greek currency note in the exhibit. It was one for 1,000 drachmas. l14l RTI-IE SCHOOL YEARIOS7 195s C.-XXDID FANII-1R.'X SHOTS Tnp: Mr. Mayer between rehearsals. Centre: Mr. Moodey after Class. Boltom: Mr. Howes among his birds. U51 SELWYN HOVSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Bill Hambly's notes from XYest Africa, Martinique, Italy and Holland were very interesting, as were his coins, which unfortunately lack of space pre- vents our describing. Mrs. Markland kindly lent a gold sovereign of Queen Yictoria's period, and a llorin of George Y, while Mrs. Tester contributed a golden guinea of George III. These were much appreciated as were a loan, from Miss Locke, of coins from japan and Ceylon. folin Dobell showed a collection of current European coins from 1949-1952 which included a French gold piece of 20 francs, and a George YI shilling from South Africa, also a German bank note for 10,000 marks, 1919: all most interest- mg. David McLernon had a collection of early copper coins on display, in- cluding one of 1888. Stewart Bain exhibited bills from Morocco and Bermuda, the only ones in the exhibition. fharles Chaffey had a very good collection, the most outstanding coins being those from fzechoslovakia. He also had a Horin of 1948 and a George V shilling of 1922. Peter Cumyn had a varied number of coins from Italy, France, Austria, Portugal. Ciuragao, and a 'kopek' of Russia, the last being specially notable as the date was 1882. The 'Coin Exhibition' gave place to the study of the 'Winter Birds of the Montreal Area' at the end of November. The Redpath Museum, McGill University, through the good offices of Mr. .lohn Howes, and the kindness of Mr. Cleghorn, lent the school thirteen stuffed birds. These were the source of much interest and a great deal was learned from them. A background to the birds was provided by Charles Chaffey who generously lent six beatiful Audubon large-sized prints, and by Bill Hambly who contributed a good picture of 'Mallards in Flight'. Illustrations from Michael Berrill, Nicky Le Moine, David McLernon, and Richard Hunt, were also useful in showing us different varieties in bird life. Robert Fowler lent two books on birds, while Donald Steven showed twelve pictures of birds executed entirely in feathers, and very lovely examples they were. During january we had miscellaneous displays which helped us in different sections of the Library. Mrs. Howis contributed 2 needles of the 'Needle Tree' of XV. Australia, Edward Colby lent us two cocoons, Yytis Kaestli shells, and Peter Dawes a good model of an elephant, as well as a very large shell, all of which helped to illustrate the 'Nature' section. The 'Geography' division was made more interesting by two maps of Montreal of 1760 and 1854, lent by Colin Dobell. Peter Nobbs added a model of the St. Maria of folumbus' fieet which fitted in well with our books on the great explorer. Allan Christensen allowed us to use a huge starhsh on the 'Nature' shelf. He had acquired it in Florida. February was devoted to the study of japan inspired by the visit and address of Bishop Powles, whose many years of work in that country have made him an authority on the subject. Miss Locke, who has lived in japan, generously made a loan to the Library of much valuable material descriptive of the life and customs of the japanese. Michael Dunn also had some interesting photographs which he lent to the exhibit. 1161 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1952-1953 The first anniversary of the accession of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was marked by a display of the new coinage with her portrait and legend. Charles Chaffey had five examples of this first Canadian mintage ranging from Five cents to a dollar. Robert Dolman and Richard Hunt also contributed to the new coinage. Peter Vodstrcil showed some very ancient coins in this month, from India and the Far East. Geology was our subject in the month of March. Michael Berrill supplied a valuable and interesting collection of specimens, all numbered and with a typewritten description which corresponded to each article and made us realize the treasures of the Earth. Michael's collection of fossils was extremely interesting. Vile were sorry to part with them when it was necessary to close the exhibit. Robert Aikman had a very nice collection of specimens, and a good piece of fossilized coral. Billy Church also brought fossils which were all full of interest, expecially the wood and agate. The other exhibitors were Richard Udd, with a good collection, David Stollmeyer, john Beament, and Francisco Cardona. Crozier Lucas had a very interesting fiint arrowhead. Railways and Bridges also took our attention in March and Mr. Mayer kindly lent a photographic portrait of Robert Stephenson, son of George Stephen- son, who invented the First locomotive. Robert Stephenson constructed the Victoria Bridge of Montreal where the First train ran to the mainland in 1859. Gifts to the Library during the past year included a collection of stamps from Francisco Cardona. Donald Steven gave a number of Eastern coins, and a medal of the jubilee of Queen Victoria, Mr. Bernard M. Bloomfield presented a Nazi dagger, which is a unique addition to our weapon collection. Peter Krohn gave a collection of geological specimens and two European coins. Books were donated by the following:-Miss Mabel Molson, The Hon. Mr. justice Hyde, the Hon. Gaspard Fauteux, Mr. E, C. Moodey, XVilliam Pedoe, Mr. N. Holland, Michael Meighen, john Newman, Peter Cumyn, Rodney Tait, and Ditlef Knudsen. The circulation of books in the Library from March 31, 1952 to March 31, 1953 was 2,148, of these 158 were works of Science, 153 on Geography, 136 in books of Nature, 131 in History, 42 on Biography. The remainder were divided amongst Fiction, Things to Do , and 'Younger' books. The total number of books in the Library is 3,090, of which 260 have been acquired since March, 1952. We hope to have an exhibit of autographs of distinguished people during the Summer Term, and would be glad of any material on this subject. And so a year in the Library ends, having been made enjoyable and pro- fitable by the always interesting, and sometimes rare objects lent by the members, illustrating the subjects of the works on the shelves.

This year the debating club of the Selwyn Oratorical Society was named Theta. It was composed of the boys in the fifth form. At our first meeting Xlichael Kleighen was elected to the ofiice of president, Peter farsley was elected vice-president, and folin Dobell was elected secretary-treasurer. During the course of the year we met on alternate Fridays in the after- noon or evening. At the meetings we would have set speeches. hat-nights, bio- graphies and formal debates. In the formal debates we covered a large variety of subjects. There were debates on current events as: That the l'nited Nations should withdraw from Korea or That XYest Germany be given a place in the European Army . Then, also, there were the more domestic debates as: That Children under Sixteen be allowed into the Movies , or, That the VVoman's Place is in the Home . All of these were greatly enjoyed by the members of the club. VVe are all very grateful for the contribution of a reading-stand, which was made by Peter Davidson and Tony Lehloine. We have all had a most wonderful year, and will always remember Mr. Speirs' great help and the endless trouble he took in supervising the club through- out the season. HOUSE DEBATING Keen inter-house competition resulted from the annual debating contest in March, in which Colin Dobell and john Clarke tXVanstall Housej defeated Anthony VVait and Stanley XVinton thlacaulay Housel in discussion of the resolution That the invention of television is more of a curse than a blessing to the education of children . In the second debate, That professionalism is de- stroying the amateur spirit in team sports , Michael Meighen and Peter Carsley tLucas Housei proved winners over Alex Herron and Ronnie Raginsky tSpeirs Housej. In the final debate. on the resolution That twentieth-century science has contributed more to the unhappiness than to the well-being of mankind , VVanstall House emerged victorious. Mr. Phillips, Mr. Bloodey and Mr. Howes kindly acted as a court of judges in all three debates. l24l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1952-1953 PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST The public-speaking competition was held at the end of February, the preliminaries being judged by the Headmaster and Mr. Phillips and finals at a major assembly of the school by Mr. john de M. Marler, Q.C., an Old Boy of Selwyn House and a distinguished Montreal lawyer. The following were some of the subjects discussed by the various con- t6St3.l'1tS2- It is better to live dangerously than always to seek safety first CHugh Matson, Affirmj.

The Liberals will win the next Federal General Election fColin Dobell, Aflirm, and Michael Meighen, Neg.J. Brains are more important than personality tBill Pedoe, Afiirm. and Tim Peters, Negj. Those chosen to speak in the finals were: Peter Carsley, John Clarke, Philip Creery, Michael Meighen, Bill Pedoe, and Anthony Vilait. Unfortunately, Philip Creery was prevented by illness from being present at the finals. Michael Meighen was adjudged the winner, with John Clarke and Anthony NVait being placed second and third respectively. Colin Dobell acted as chairman.

It is very satisfying to watch the almost automatic growth of poise and talent and understanding in the boy who has a feeling for acting: at the rate at which we in Selwyn House produce plays-two a yearvit takes him three years to develop to the point at which his interpretation ofa dithcult part will be intelligent and satisfying to an adult, unbiased audience. By the end of the third year, not only does he look upon himself as an experienced actor but, within the limits imposed by his age, he is one. I feel that this will be particularly obvious to those who see the plays produced in the Summer Term, or to those who heard the Radio Broadcast on the 22nd Nlarch, when an extract from lhe forthcoming prodttction of The C'r0wn and the Glory lof which more laterl was heard. .Xt fhristmas time, Nlme Ciyger produced two excellent short French plays, Parlez-moi d'amour, and Le Professeur distrait. The first was con- cerned with the trials of a young poet tfolin Xloseleyj who, in the throes of composition, was perpetually distracted by the strains of Parlez-moi d'am0ur, which echoed all around him, from those in the house, and from passers-by in the street. Finally his fiancee enters, singing the same song, and the poet gives in to the forces of circumstances and joins in the chorus himself. Those taking part were Bill Hambly, XV. McLean, KI. Levinson and L. XYakem. The second play, about an absent-minded professor who, drinking coffee in a busy cafe, thought he was still at the univeristy, was equally amusing, and the various parts were adequately played by D. Bogert, R. Usler, XI. Levinson, AI. Kleakins, P. Lynes, C. Hart, D. McNeill and Louson. The Pyramus and Thisbe scene from Klidsummer Xight's Dream was the chief item of the English part of the programme. The comedy, of a slapstick kind, was played to the utmost and the introduction of false moustaches which came unglued and I Like Ike written boldly on XYall probably caused WLS. to turn in his ancient grave, but actors and audience enjoyed it. Davidson and fhaffey made a regal Duke and Queen, and Kleighen, XYinton, Lealoine, Nvait, and Herron played their parts with gusto. The second English play was a light comedy called The Kippers and dealt with the foolish snobbery of a family belonging to what was once called the lower middle class. The cast included Cilarke, Cumyn, Pedoe, Hyde, Dobell and Lofft. They all did very well with an extremely slender plot. Ifor many weeks the Dramatic Society has been hard at work rehearsing two plays which will be produced after this magazine goes to press. These plays have been chosen as the School's contribution to Coronation Year, and the music sting by the Choirs will follow the same theme. The plays, The Golden Nlean and The frown and the Glory, are concerned with Kings and Queens and, if one may judge from rehearsals, will provide the best entertaintnent that Selwyn House has yet seen. Production date is .-Xpril Z-ith, and a full account will be given in the next issue of the school magazine.

We missed old friends who had gone to boarding-school. Our form still has its share of choir-boys. Scouts, and players of soccer, hockey and cricket. Chaffey, Speirs House, sings in the Choir and belongs to the Scouts. At Vhristmas he played Hippolyta in Pyramus and Thisbe . Colby, Macaulay House, played soccer and hockey for the school, He also is a member of the Scouts. Evans, Speirs House. has a happy time at school as long as he is near Matson, and he should be a star on the cricket team. Matson, Macaulay House, did not quite make the hockey team, but enjoyed himself being goal-judge instead. He is a great friend of Evans, and is usually seen with him. Maxwell, Macaulay House. is the form's athlete. He was in the crew of the boat which won the Bluenose Trophy for the school last autumn. On the soccer and hockey teams he played well. In the ski meet he starred. He sings in the Choir and is a Scout. Pedoe, Lucas House, although our youngest member, had the honour of representing our form in the Public Speaking Finals. He sings in the Choir and played on the under-twelve hockey and soccer teams. In The Kippers he played Mrs. Muggins. Peters, XYanstall House, is one of our brighter members. He is another good hockey player. In Pyramus and Thisve he played Bottom CPyramusj very well. Rankin, XYanstall House, was our best athlete, until he left us at the end of the Vhristmas Term. Tait, Lucas House, played hard in many important football battles, as well as on the hockey rink. He does well in class. Terroux, Macaulay l-louse, is the keen leader of the Bulldog Patrol in the Scouts. He worked hard to make the Scout Display a success. He came second in class. l'dd, Lucas I-louse, was away sick during most of the Christmas Term. XYe were glad to see him back in january, and he worked as hard as he could to catch up. Time flies in Form IV. under the guidance of Mr. Moodey, our form master. Yery soon it will be that happy day when we leave school for the Summer vacation. C.E.C. FORM III And al my buck I ulteuys hear Tz'me's winged clmriol dratvirzg near, And ever before 115 lie deserts Qf vas! elernztyn So wrote Andrew Marvell three hundred years ago. Since I last talked to you in these pages a whole year has slipped by. About the deserts of vast eternity I am not quite sure and I think they are best left to the metaphysicians anyway. However, I have been aware recently of the thundering hooves of time's chariot at my heels. It is really twelve months ago that you readers travelled with me and the boys of Form II to the uplands of Scotland and indulged in a little romantic triviality and fantasy. Since then time has pursued its steady, unrelenting course and changes there have been. Firstly and IHOSI important, Form II of last May and june has become Form III. Inches have been added to young male forms, ideas have undergone certain changes. Some have gone to other schools. and. like the original Gorbals die-hards whom Form II emulated in our lilm of fantasy, the process of separation and growing up has proceeded apace during the intervening year. l321 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1952-1953 By good fortune, I too joined the pilgrimage and was elevated to take the helm of the present Form III. That pleased me immeasurably. because I was able to travel more closely for at least two years with these young lads whom I had encountered in the Autumn of 1951. Last year we got to know each other. This year we accept each other,- we've become like a family of sorts. There's a good deal of unspoken understand- ing between us. The discipline from without has been relaxed, for the self- discipline by the boys themselves has grown and fiourished. We have come to expect certain contributions from each other: it's a sort of fraternity on a simple, unsophisticated level. Now,-the boys themselves: what of these likeable, aggravating, amusing creatures, with their sudden flashes of intelligence and humour, who are the pul- sating lifebeat of any school. lYhen they are swarming all over the halls, class- rooms, locker-rooms and so on, they overwhelm you. They submerge everything else, so that one's whole attention is centred on them. But when they break up, as they will do shortly, leaving the school deserted till the Autumn, then you realize more than ever what these boys give to the school. XYhen the last of them has slung his book-crammed duffle-bag on his shoulder, has shouted his good-byes to his friends and masters. then what has been a living organism for eight months, is dead. It is hollow and deserted like the cocoon which is left on the branch by the butterfly. The halls are silent, the classrooms deserted, only the full waste- baskets testify to the recent habitation of the scholars, locker-doors stand idly ajar. Your footsteps clatter loudly in the abandoned passage. The summer vacation has commenced. Not among the last to leave will be Form Ill. They are a conscientious group as schoolboys go, but when the word is given or a bell rings, one is liable to find that all that remains sixty seconds later is the dust re-settling on the floor. As he is a fairly good sprinter and has had a lot of practice in taking three stairs at a time, I feel that Peter Lynes will lead the exodus on june 10th. We shall look forward to seeing Peter again next Autumn, but he like all his classmates will be sure to take one stair at a time in September. Boys seem to be very much influenced in their movements by the seasons. Hard on Peter's heels, I feel sure, will be Michael Lofft and XYilson McLean and Bill l-lambly. They have all com- pleted another year successfully, although there have been some changes. Michael has crept farther out of his scholarly cave to try the forbidden fruits of schoolboy tomfoolery and has found that it leads at times to the detention cage. But it's all part of the life and has been for the better rather than the worse. If anything, XYilson has once or twice poked his head into the cave Michael and Bill occasion- ally abandon. l-le's settling in nicely. Some of the others haven't changed so much. David Bogert, Teddy Coumantaros, Lawlor XYakem, Geoffrey Gaherty, Duncan McNeill. Charles I-lart have all carried on pretty much as they did last year. Their steadiness is a good balance for Form III. There are others, each in his part contributing to the pattern and the life of Selwyn House. Each carves his niche: each leaves his indelible mark on the memory of the men who teach him. There is Peter Fumyn, wise and gentle, Ian Robertson. whose twinkle will remain, Michael Levinson, with his somewhat earnest charm, J. Meakins for the right and finely-honed: Robert Osler, Roger Bellingham, john Louson and Colin Moseley complete the picture. Their virtues, like all the others, have much in common with their fellows in Form III. But like each in the form, their individual traits, humour, courtesy, integrity make them clearly etched in the ever-moving, always-in- teresting picture of school life. There are no lXlr. Zeros in Selwyn House, least of all in Form III. Individuals all, contributing to a tradition, and experience, a journey, a colorful pattern. Movement and Life. E.G.D. l33l SIELWYN HOl'Sl2 SCHOOL MAGAZINE FORM II The subject of Byzantine Monogamy has always fascinated me, especially in its relationship to the lYest and its development under Darwinism. Having exhausted all the usual authorities but still at a loss to explain certain important problems, I invited the boys of Form II to take it as their week-end lissay sub- ject, limiting the length of their papers to a hundred pages each. They were, of course, to lay particular emphasis on the Hegelian aspect, and with a secret pleasure I watched their faces light with the enthusiasm felt only by those who love research work. The following Monday morning, one member of the Form, with typical wide grin and charming insouciance, handed me a manuscript which read as follows. It was Christmas live in the Chinese village of Poing-Oing lspelled Phooeyl. In the impressive square, the Gros Bourdon of the Kremlin klock struck twelve. Immediately, as was their habit, a thousand other clocks com- menced to strike. No one took any notice. livery day there was a new strike in Poing-Oing. Midnight! Alone in his tiny room, Glenn McIntosh, Secret Service Agent 4-lB, listened and stroked the beard which completed his disguise as a Swiss admiral. lilevenl he hissed as only secret service agents can hiss, and to- morrow is the 15th August. No one would suspect you, now that you are clean- shavenf' muttered his friend, Buck Rutley. He was a sinister figure, wrapped from head to foot in a sable bolero, a huge cigar hiding the subtle leer of his sardonic face. Cigarette 3 asked Glenn, proferring an immense ikon, one lump or two? No, thanks, Rutley said tersely, I never smoke. He flicked his ash carelessly into a nearby samovar and gazed at the slanting sunbeams dancing a mad arabesque on the bare, polished floor. At what time do you expect the others? Glenn's foot tapped impatiently on the heavy Bokhara carpet which stretched away to the windowless wall, and glanced at a tiny wrist-watch which stood in one corner of the immense room. At three this afternoon, he grunted. They should arrive at any moment. liven as he spoke, the heavy doors of a Morris Minor limousine were heard to crash to a close in the courtyard below and, a moment later, there was a discreet knock. The iron curtains which took the place of doors parted, and a liverish manservant was revealed. Count Lenioineski, Baron Gibertofif, Com- rade Alexis Kyrtsisky, Prince Franciscovitch Cardonavitch and others, he announced in a deep, sepulchral squeak. All the servants in this gloomy Bugski palace were dumb and therefore capable of speaking only Russian: a great asset to Glenn, a distinguished linguist, whose one language was English. Thank you, my friend, he now said courteously to the servant, you may leave us. Go into the garden and mow the lawn. The man withdrew and a few moments later the pleasant sound of a Schick Electric Razor arose from the asphalted pleasure grounds around the palace. The doors of the room flew open and in straggled Secret Agents LeMoine, liyrtsis, Gilbert and Cardona. Bravo, cried Rutley and McIntosh together. Their disguise as Russians was perfect from sombrero to burnous. No one would have suspected them on St. Catherinski Street. Behind them stood three others dressed in the rich togas of wealthy Cossacks. Agents Chamard, Colby and Vodstrcilf' said LeM0ine quietly in German, with a little bow. You are wel- come, Glenn replied in the same language, and then, changing rapidly to French, he added, XYunderbarl Have you the plans ? asked Cardona, as the newcomers grouped them- selves eagerly around the table. Nothing is ever committed to paper, said Buck sternly, as he laid sheaves of documents before them. Here is the whole thing. Read it carefully and memorize the answers. The twelve men gazed in admiration at the blank pages, striving to commit each line to memory. l34l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1052-1953 At that precise moment, three hundred miles away in Montreal, it was early june. Snow drifted around in lazy spirals. Streetcars, their velvet and silver trappings glittering in the sun, also drifted around. Sherbrooke Street was redolent with the sharp, sweet scent of countless wood fires from wigwams and tepees. The earth was brown, scorched to a crisp by droughtffor months it had rained incessantly. Outside the Art Gallery, watching the gondolas and dyaks speeding swiftly to their destinations, sat Hugh Turnbull, his lingers digging appreciatively into the warm grass. Suddenly, a little coracle, no larger than Ben Gunn's, wound its way through the traffic and pulled up before him. The bronzed figure of Richard Hunt standing in the prow threw him the painter which he easel-y caught as the canvas was lowered. Fourteen men disguised as artists sprang on shore. Turnbull recognized each of them in turn through the heavy layers of water-colour which proclaimed their profession. Knudsen, Phillips and Parker, Mejia, Barry and Aikman, McNeill, McRobie, Thomson, I-lenwood and Gordon. The last clasped proudly against his chest a wooden one Cchestl. The papers, he gasped as he pressed it fthe wooden onel into Turnbull's hands, day and night we have ridden fron Poing-Qing, the Bolsheviki on our heels. Ye'll no fickle George VK'indsor. Turnbull's strong lingers ripped off the safetyf pin which fastened the heavy box and threw open the lid. XYithin lay the precious documents which would save the British Empire, crush the Russian Menace, make safe the Future of Mankind, preserve the Democratic XYay of Life, and enable Form II to pass the Latin Exam. The Questions and Answers, so essential to Churchill and Eisenhower, so coveted by Malenkov and his myriad mysterious myopic myrmidons, were intact. This is, in part, what he read. Translate: Q. Ovis vulneratus est hasta. A. A sheep gets wool quickly. Q. Leges bonae regis. A. Reg's bonny legs. Q. Bene saltat et cantat. A. A tin of beans needs salt. Q. Puer pugnat canem. A.

If 'K 3 . I think my Essayist, who shall remain anonymous, had his signals slightly mixed. In any case, I fear that I shall now never learn more about Byzantine Monogamy-thank Goodness! P.S. May we welcome with pleasure Geoffrey XYilliams, who has returned to the fold. and Brian Dodd, who has recently come to Canada from England. CHAI. H51 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL M.-XGAZIXE FORM 1.-X Curiosity is one of the most permanent and certain Cluzracteristics of a vigorous intellect. The above quotation, indeed, could well serve as the motto of the present Form IA, for a genuine spirit of inquiry enliyens most lessons with these boys. It is seldom that their questions are asked as opportunities for digression: they stem, rather, from a genuine curiosity and a desire to learn. fionsequently, all teachers who come in contact witht his group are pleasurably stimulated by the etiorts of the boys and by the general tone of the class. This year a keen rivalry exists between Forms 1.-X and IB, both scholastic- ally and athletically. The soccer matches played between these two groups were a highlight of this year's soccer season. .-Xlso, this friendly rivalry has served as an incentive not only to the form's top scholars but to those boys at the other extreme. The weekly percentages of both classes are compared closely, resulting in suitable remarks, either derogatory or praiseworthy, being made by the students concerned. Since the predominant temper of the class has been set forth by a quotation, let us characterize the individual members of Form IA in the same manner. Barry.- . . . And admire him for his wit, If he be talking. Belton.- A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. Boundy.- He was wont to speak plain and to the purpose. Brainerd.- A thing of impulse and a child of song. Dunn.- Gentle of speech, but absolute of will. Eakin.- Care to our cofhn adds a nail no doubt, And every grin so merry draws one out. Ferro.- He that questioneth much shall learn much. Gray.- The merry twinkle of his eyes foretells his disposition. Howard.- He has a voice of gladness and a smile. Hyde.- Qt a good beginning cometh a good end. .lackson.f ll'isely and slowg they stumble that run fast. La Fontaine.- In every deed of mischief he had a heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute. Levitan.- E'en though vanquished, He could argue still. Martin.- Some eat to live, but I live to eat. NlcHale.- The lyy' so short, the craft so long to lerne. Stanger.f Wearing all the weight Qf learning lightly like a flower. Terroux.- . . . Ile reads much, Ile is a great observer, and he looks quite through the deeds of men. XYakeheld.- The hand that hath made you fair hath made -V011 good. Zeller.- They say best men are moulded out Qffaulls, And for the most, become much better for being a little bad. 1.5.1. l36l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1952-1953 FORM 1B XYe have the privilege to occupy a class that was the home of the two upper forms. It is not too spacious, looks rather cosy and accommodates com- fortably thirteen pupils. A superstitious soul would shudder at that number, but for us it is un porte-bonheur , as we work and enjoy ourselves in close harmony and friendship. lt is surprising how many philatelists are among us: Brian Saunderson, Peter Xobbs, Patrick Phillips, Billy Church, fhristopher Coristine and Duncan Peachey. They are making plans to visit one day all the countries represented in their stamp books. David Baillie and Robert Lehloyne are keenly interested in their chemistry sets. lf you want information about astronomy, ask Dickie Leach, who is quite an expert, Jay lNlonge's hobby is model railroadingg Eddie Colby is clever in carpentry. .Among Donald Doyle's best friends are dogs and catsg he would have a house full of them, if it only depended on him. Most of our boys love sports, in summer and winter, and a few are real young champions. They also look forward every week to their cub meetings which are always interesting. A few weeks ago, our lucky number thirteen became an ordinary twelve, as Luis Rios unfortunately had to leave our group, his father being recalled to South America. A.G. FORM AZ This year found us separated from some of our last year's friends who are in Form Al. However. we see them before school, at recess, and after school. besides having gym, singing and cubs, together. Being in a smaller class has enabled us to get to know our classmates better and at the same time join in competitive rivalry on the sports field against Al. Naturally we think that we have the pick of the crop and I think you'll agree after l tell you what we have done this year. First of all. we have three sixers in our class, namely Happy Baxter, john Stikeman, and Crozier Lucas, with Happy and john both having their first star. Another boy who has worked hard and won his first star and who also often brings rocks and shell collections for display in the school library, is Michael Berrill. Then there is David Stollmeyer, and Eric Dawson, who are seconds in the cub Pack. Other cubs are Jimmie Aikman who also excels as our basketball star, David Thom, john Nickson and john Newman. VVhen it comes to gym, Eric Dawson takes top honours, with Happy Baxter, and john Stikeman following close behind. I think we would all agree that john Newman is our best soccer player. Vllhen it comes to top honours academically, then we have to look up to Nicholas Kairis and Pandy Embiricos and our latest addition Rodney Moore, who joined us after Xmas. KYe may truthfully say that everyone has done his best in every field of endeavour and has contributed his utmost to the junior School in this our final year. And so we are looking forward to next year, when we'll be doing more and bigger things as we take our place in the Senior School. W.D.KI. l37l I SEI-WYfHOI'SE SCHOOL MAGAZINE FORM A1 The Al form room was quiet. I imagine it was the tranquility that caused it, but, as I sat correcting books, the blackboard took on a peculiar aura. This aroused my interest, so I walked towards it. .-Xfter walking for what seemed an extremely long time I realized that I had gone right through the blackboard into a different world. ln this world everything appeared to be arranged in columns, files, lines, or ranks. The whole place gave the impression of a maze, and there I found my- self right in the centre of it. How was I to get out ? After proceeding along, I noticed what appeared to be guides or guards spaced at regular intervals along the passageway. These fellows were dressed in yellow and black and bore a faint resemblance to hornets. The amount of paper on the floor almost convinced me at first that they were paper-nest hornets. The source of the paper turned out to be a guide merrily throwing scraps from his drawer. while looking for a book he had left at home. A continual stream of chatter came from the next fellow as he chatted to all the guides around. .-Xs I proceeded OII, I nearly tripped over the feet of the next guard. l hardly noticed the fourth fellow, for he was completely engrossed in his work. The next post was empty for a time, but. as I approached it. a wind whistled by me, and, when l looked again, the guard was vainly trying to find the right hook with which to direct me. He never found the book. so I went on. The sixth guide was busy drawing rocket ships and hardly noticed me pass. After turning a corner I came upon a guard busily writing poetry. I managed to get a snatch of it: In nineteen hundred and twenty-six, Columbus found himself in a fix Vl'hen he tried to sail The Atlantic in a pail. In the next post I discovered a chap who was continually jumping up and down expounding his pet theories. The ninth guide was completely unperturbed by the fellow behind him, for he was struggling to locate the place in his guide- book, so he could read the directions for me to take. Everytime the guard located the place, a most peculiar thing would happen. The place would jump to another page. I left the guide thumbing gaily through the pages of his book with no idea where the elusive place was. In turning left I discovered a dead end. The guide there knew his place in the guide-book, in fact, after he started reading the directions, it was very difficult to stop him, and, if I hadn't walked away, he would still be holding forth. It was necessary to walk some distance before coming to the next station. The guide at that station smiled cheerily and was most helpful. The twelfth guard simply referred me to the fellow beside him, after saying that he was not too sure of the way out, because he spent so much time away from the maze. I approached the next chap and he obligingly offered to write out the directions for me. When I left his station hours later, he was still writing. I hope he has realized that I have gone, for I hate to think of him as still writing. The fourteenth guard was so busy hiding things up his sleeves that I don't think he saw me go by. There was a glimmer of black at the end of the passage. so I raced past the next guide to the exit. .-Xs I passed through the reverse side of the blackboard, I thought I heard someone shout something about no more teachers. no more books. Kly head jolted forward, and I realized that I had fallen asleep. I got up and walked to the window for a breath of fresh air. In the yard I saw a blonde thatch of hair race towards the gate, chanting something that was now in- distinguishable. -l.D.l-I. l38l FOR THE SCHOOL YE.-XR 1952-10 FORM B Two and twenty B boys Sitting in four rows.

Against the Fathers we had an excellent chance of repeating last year's triumph as we dismissed a strong batting side for 57 runs, Mr. Martin with 19 alone reaching double figures. Matson took 5 wkts for 28, Darling -1 for 15 and Carsley 1 for 6. Meighen made an excellent catch to dispose of Mr. Martin when he was well set. XYhen the School went into bat. three of our better batsmen failed, and when Seifert, who hit lustily for 19, was out to an unorthodox catch by Mr. Duffield we were soon out for -13, leaving the Fathers victors by 14 runs. Mr, Matson took 5 wkts, Mr. Martin 4 and Mr. Carsley 1. The Under 13 team, which contained several beginners and was a very young side, was outclassed by an experienced and confident B.C.S. team. Never- theless, we did well to dismiss our opponents for 69 at Lennoxville, and with most of our players still under age next season we look forward to having our revenge. Mon.

A persevering and indefatigable captain, whose example was an inspiration to the others. He bowled well throughout the season. and improved considerably with the bat. DARLING. A keen and promising all-rounder. A little prone to sacrifice length for pace in his bowling: a fair bat, and a keen and alert in-fielder. C.-XRLIN. An enthusiastic member of the team, who kept wicket reliably and at times brilliantly. and showed increasing value as a batsman. CARSLIQY. A batsman of style: a useful slow bowler as long as he remembered the importance of a good length: a keen and reliable lielder. Smtft-:RT. A natural at any ball game. he showed promise of excellence when he remembered that Molson Field is not a ball-park, but often defeating his own ends by spectacular recklessness. As excellent in the field as any boy of recent years. SHORT. A useful reserve wicket-keeper. and a hard-working member of the side. lJUiftfIELD. Somewhat s asmodic this season. though he on occasion showed the P . promising form of the previous season. AIEIGIIIEN. A good bat and a most useful change bowler. not deterred by the greater strength of the others with whom he played. Dtixxls. His skill did not quite match his enthusiasm. but he tried hard and was improving towards the end of the season. ALEXANDOR. A good beginning at the game, especially after he had appreciated the spirit in which it is to be played. VERIIAEGEN. A courageous start at a new game earned him a place in the team. E.C.RI. SOCCER l10S2l Although, or perhaps because. we lacked the stars of the previous year. our l'nder 14 side played well as a team, displaying both combination and determination. This was particularly the case in the match with Sedbergh in Nlontreal, in which we needed 5 goals to retain the Carsley Cup. These were all scored in a most exciting second half, the last one coming live minutes before the end of the game. XYin or lose, we would like to see every S.H.S. team play with the spirit that was shown on this occasion. The l'nder 13 team, though losing its games against B.C.S.. showed great improvement during the season. One cannot ask more than that of any side. The l'nder 12 team won two very close games with Sedbergh School but found L.C.C. a little too strong in their series with them. There is good talent in this side and it is to be hoped that its more promising members will not be whisked off to boarding school and appear next year in the ranks of our opponents. This season. which was no exception. saw some vital goals scored against us by former SHS. players. Colours were awarded to Kleighen, LeKloine 1. Heward, XYinton and Carslev. l44l FOR TH!-2 SCHUUI.

However, Under 13 and Under 12 games were also played in order to give more boys an opportunity to play on a team. The season was a good one. There was good team-play, fast, exciting games, and a grand spirit of co-operation prevailed throughout. As far as winning goes, which is not the only thing to be looked for in sport, the credit goes to the Under 11 team, coached by Mr. Phillips, who ended their league season in a tie with L.C.C. The boys enjoyed a lot of hockey this year considering the poor outdoor ice conditions. Having the Verdun Auditorium four hours a week was wonderful and the two pre-season practices before the Xmas holidays were a great help. The Under 14 team played six league games with other schools, two each with L.C.C., Ashbury, and Sedbergh. The Under 13 team played four inter-school matches, home and home with B.C'.S. and LCC. This was in addition to the regular house games. Most of the senior team are graduating from the school this year. Vile know they will carry on the fine traditions that they have learned to appreciate on the sports fields and rinks at school. XYe would like to record our appreciation to Peter Mitchell and Donald Raper, old boys, who refereed some of the matches.

Besides this, a large number of tests towards the first and second stars in cubs and towards the second and first class badges in scouts have been passed, in addition to Z1 number of proficiency badges. Our annual Fall hike this year was to the wooded hills near Montebello. where lunches were cooked out-of-doors and stalking games played. During scout week, a scout and cub assembly was held, and Mr. Robley MacKay was the guest speaker. P. L. Duncan McNeill read the scripture lesson and P.L. David Terroux thanked our guest. This year also, on March the fourth, the troop and both packs put on a demonstration of scout and cub activities in the school gymnasium, which parents and friends attended.

There has been keen competition between the patrols.

During the Red Cross Marathon drive for blood donors, our scouts assisted at the Hussars Armory. There is no finer code to live by than the scout promise and scout law. It is to endeavour to live up to this high standard, set by our founder Lord Baden-Powell that we meet together once a week and strive to prepare ourselves.

The group got oil to a line start in October with several rambles on the mountain to study trees. When the winter snows came, the pack viewed three sets of motion pictures on natural history subjects. More nature rambles are promised for the summer term. The whole pack was enrolled in the Junior Audubon Club of Canada, and publications of this organization were studied with great interest by the cubs. Two new boys, Richard Hunt and lllichael Barry, joined the pack and quickly passed their tenderpad. Both boys are proving to be very keen and enthusiastic cubs. The pack as a whole has moved forward, and by the end of the school year we should have at least two new second star cubs. The cycle of cubbing will reach its culmination this year for Nicky Le- Moine, Glenn hlclntosh, Freddie lXlcRobie, and Peter Vodstrcil when these cubs will be ready to go up into the troop. They have all been leaders in the pack and will do well in scouting. j.D.H. lS0l I X TIZR .nXI-IpX 1 ' 1 Top: Square Dancing in Gym Iiifplay.

Michael Berrill 1Form All INTELLIGENCE OE HORSES The horse is much the same as the human being, because with training it develops and shows signs of having some intelligence. As with the human being, the training starts when the animal is a year or two old. Unless the horse possessed some intelligence, it would not respond to training. The first thing a colt is taught is to overcome fear. The trainer does this lay going into the stall and gently handling the colt. Then, when the colt is no longer afraid of him, the trainer accustoms the colt to a saddle and a bridle by harnessing him for a short time each day. Instances of horses' intelligence can be observed every day on our streets. The most noticeable instance is that when the driver calls XYhoa! to his horse. it stops. Some horses learn things by themselves. As an example of this, I have noticed a milkman's horse as it comes up Redpath Street, which is on a hill. It has the intelligence, when it stops, to cramp the wheels of the wagon and back up a little way, thus allowing one wheel to rest against the curb. In this way, the horse does not have to hold the weight of the wagon while the milkman is deliver- ing the milk. In XYestern Canada, the cowboys' horses learn how to herd catttle. XYhen they approach a group of cattle on the prairie, the horse immediately begins to circle the cattle, gathering them into one large group. They will do this even though the rider is not guiding them. If the cowboy gets off his horse and drops his reins to the ground. the horse will stand still until the rider returns. Horses which are hitched to a wagon learn to be guided to the right or to the left, depending on which rein is pulled. Riding horses are guided by the rider simply touching the animal's neck lightly with one of the reins. Many horses possess a sense of direction even in the clark. On the prairies, where there are no roads to follow, the drivers, when they are not just sure of the direction home, because of the darkness. leave it entirely to the horse to take them there. Horses are above the majority of other domestic animals in intelligence. They can be trained to open doors, dance to music and perform many tricks. This is something which one could not accomplish with other animals such as cows, sheep or pigs. Rodney Tait tForm IYD l62l HOUSE MACAI TLAX ,- NZ lf? 3 v-1 n fx! I0 3 v- SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE A PAINTING In our dining room we have an interesting painting entitled The Westland, Racing Un Sunlit Sea , by IYilliam Knox, a modern English painter. This painting is interesting to me since it tells the story of a boat-race on the English Vhannel. Four boats in full sail are approaching the finishing line,with the XYestland well ahead of the other three. I can see the sailors on the deck of the XYestland busy at their work, as the boat ploughs through the water. Since it is sunset, the sky is glowing with red light against a blue sky, and grey clouds. liach time I look at this painting I feel the movement of the boat and see the spray rising. The sea is choppy and white with foam. In places the sunlight can be seen shining through the clouds. This makes the horizon bright in some spots and dark in others. Over towards the side of the painting, a buoy is moving back and forth in the choppy water. I think this buoy is a marker in the race and not a danger signal. The light from the setting sun also brightens the sails in places, while in the distance the sails of other boats are grey with the darkness that is coming. This is my favorite picture, because I never get tired of it. Michael Levinson lForm IIIl .-X GHOST STORY OR RI-QGINAXI VOC.-UILS There is a house on the road between Crewe and Chester in England. It is built in Tudor style, but unlike most Tudor houses it has badly deteriorated. The reason for this is that it is said to be haunted. It has been sold often by many 'smart' real estate agents. but the tenants never seem to stay long. One of these tenants was .lack Grisley. He came there in the year eighteen-eighty-live. He bought the house and the next week he returned to the agent's olhce to tell him what had happened. I went to that house two days after you sold it to me. It looked a little run down. XYhen I got inside it, I discovered a few steps in the stairway had rotted. 'They can easily be repaired,' I thought to myself. There were cobwebs all over. There were also a few pieces of furniture covered with white cloth. They looked like silent ghosts. I thought I saw one of them move. 'Imaginationf I said to myself. But it did seem to move. I forgot about it, however. Then I had other worries. There were no beds except for a pile of straw that had fallen from the thatched roof. I thought I had heard a noise. No. It began to grow dark. Off in the distance a dog was howling. Night came and I was tired. I lay down on the straw. About midnight I heard ghostly voices chanting in Latin. 'Reginam vocamusf I was afraid and ran. I must have run live miles before I finally arrived in Fhester. At last I was safe. But wait! You, the real estate agent, are one of the ghosts! You cast no shadow! A scream filled the air. Then silence. The silence was broken only by a chanting voice: Reginam vocamus!

He wanted to be a warrior, so he could go on the hunts of the tribe. But to do this he had to pass ai certain test. He said to the chief: O chief, what must I do to become a warrior ju After consulting with the elders of the tribe, the chief said, You must get a tail feather from an eagle. Yery early the next morning Young Bull started out on his journey to the mountains. About noon that day he started to climb the steep cliffs of the mountains to find an eagles nest. It was very hard climbing. because the foot- holds were very small. At last he saw an eagle's nest about one hundred feet away on a small ledge. Young Bull made plans as to how he would get the feather. Then he started to climb towards the nest. XYhen he got there, he peeped over the edge of the nest: the mother eagle was gone, but her two babies were there. Young Bull had to wait for only a couple of minutes until the mother returned, and. when she saw Young Bull near her babies, she started to dive at him, but he beat her off with one of his hands. Then the eagle backed away for a minute to see how her babies were, and her back was turned towards Young Bull. This was Young Bull's chance. He quickly grabbed one of the eagle's feathers. just as he got one the eagle started to claw at his eyes but he covered them with his arm. It was very hard climbing down with one arm. The eagle clawed at his eyes, and once or twice he nearly fell down the steep cliffs. But at last the eagle went back to her nest and Young Bull got down the rest of the cliff safely. XYhen he arrived back at the camp. he showed the feather to the chief, and that night they made him a warrior.

Next morning they were ready. The long train of Indians was on its way, but, when they looked behind them, they saw the white men almost on top of them. They tried to run, but they were captured. and the white men took the most precious belongings of the Indians, and then started for home. They were about a hundred yards from the Indians when they were struck by lightning and the Indians thought it was one of their gods. The Thunder-Hawk! XY.

IXIIXGAZINIE TH E NIYSTICRIOUS VISITOR My name is Vladimir Ostroff, and I live behind the Iron Curtain, deep in Soviet Russia. I work for the underground fighters of communism, and our head- quarters are in Nloscow. This story begins on a night in December, two years ago, when the leaders of our underground were summoned to an emergency meeting at Headquarters. We arrived one by one, as was our custom, and when all were there, we were briefed on our next mission. Our job was to deliver safely out of Russia an .Xmerican military courier, and, even more important than the man himself, the important secret files he had managed to remove from the fommunist Bureau. These papers would have a tremendous military and political value to our friends in the XYest, and would also help our underground movement inside Russia. And we needed all the help we could get. Three others and myself were picked for the task. We dispersed and went our separate ways. I was to meet the .american and guide him on the first part of his flight. I stood for what seemed a long time on the corner of a quiet, almost deserted street, waiting for the visitor, now a fugitive from the most feared police in the world, to appear. It is bitterly cold in Nloscow in December, and I was nearly numb with cold and anxiety when at last a lone figure appeared, and spoke the password to mewthe only Russian word he knew, as I soon learned. It was no easy job: with all the might of the Soviet police behind us every inch of the way, we had a difficult time. The .Xmerican pretended to be dumb, to hide the fact that he couldn't speak the language. The Secret Police were as numerous as leaves on trees. Finally my charge, still never speaking, was handed over at the border to the last member of our group. They got to Berlin at last, but there they were almost trapped by the Secret Policeg they jumped into a parked cab and sped for some distance and eventually, under cover of darkness, reached the American zone. At Allied Headquarters, the American spoke: the microfilm of the secret files was in his left shoe. The lone, quiet American, who had spent two terrifying weeks fieeing the Secret Police of a powerful enemy, had struck a great blow for the KN. cause, and a deadly one against our common foe, Fommunism. Anthony XYait lF'orm YD ON .-XRGVKI ENTS VVhat is argument? Is it a bitter controversy in words between two or more persons over a thing tor thingsl? Or is it a friendly one, for the sake of adding fun to one's conversation ? It is hard to give the precise definition of the word, as there are many. Perhaps the most meticulous definition is this, an argument consists of a monologue, which is started by a person, and the hearer for hearersl catch its wind and finally end up by talking simultaneously with each othere So much for its detinition, which is not the point of this essay . Folton once stated NIen's arguments often prove nothing, but their wishes . However, as true as it might be, it is not the essential analysis of its value. The value of argument has been greatly underestimated and underrated. The one, who realised the value of arguments, declared in these words, No great advancements have been made in Science. Politics, Religion without arguments. l6Sl FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1952-1953 XYhy Politics, Science, and Religion ? asks the skeptic. The answer is simply thus: Did St. Paul, Mohammet, Luther, Muller the theologian, and others make advancements in their religious pursuits ? Mohammet was a man of no patience, therefore he employed the use of the sword to produce wholesale converts out of hesitating followers. liven when this was so, he had enough disciples to carry out his strict principles simply because he had won them by his arguments. Luther broke up, more or less, the world's Christian Church with his dramatic argument, along with others such as Calvin and Cran- mer. Argument has its bad point as well as its good. But argument advanced the cause for each one who relied on this weapon to help them spread their ideas. Thomas Edison, Yolta, Leonardo Da Vinci, and others were faced with lack of attention and interest from others concerning their inventions and dis- coveries. Volta couldn't convince people he had found some vague meaning of electricity. However, his arguments kept alive the theme and Benjamin Franklin verified Yolta's statement. Arguments are absolutely necessary in the highly explosive subject of Politics. Arguments have determined the fate of each side in elections, as People cast votes: their votes are the equivalent of answers, for they decide the election. The writers, Plato, Marx, Cicero and others set forth the programs and political philosophies for their followers to execute, while politicians such as the Roose- velts, Hitler, Gladstone and others argued forth their causes. There are many sides to the value of arguments in Politics. Some profess to declare it encourages demagoguery, dishonesty, and ambiguity lor double talkl. These faults are almost necessary in every argument, for one arguer, at times, could be dishonest to gain his point. This seems to be arguing the value of arguments. So I have added argu- ments to my 'philosophic' essay. Ross Heward lForm YJ LEONARDO DA YI NCI Leonardo was probably the greatest man that ever lived besides jesus. He was born in 1-152, at Vinci, near Florence, and died in 1519. To most people his name stands out as one of the famous artists who left to the world two magnificent pictures: The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. He lived during the time of hlulius the Second in the Renaissance period in Italy. In those days lived many other famous painters, for instance Fra Filippo Lippi, Michael Angelo, and Raphael. These men are known to us as very great artists, but the amazing fact about Leonardo is, that he was equally eminent in other fields. Leonardo invented the first air-plane machine, a self-propelled vehicle, a printing press. a two-level bridge, a variable speed drive, and a two-hand clock. These are only a few of his many great ideas. From these alone you can see why so many people call him the greatest man that ever lived. Also in the military field he had revolutionary ideas. He made a tank and a steam cannon for Caesar Borgia. Many of the people who have lived after his time were so much inspired by the great and colourful personality of Leonardo da Vinci that they have expressed their thoughts in books about him, his inventions and his artistic works.
