This, so far as I am concerned, is surely true with respect to Selwyn House School. XYhat Selwyn undertakes to do, it does thoroughly well. Its great task is education, the building of character and preparation for rewardful living, by training in the Arts and Sciences and by healthful strenuous sport. In this work the School has always been loyal to those fundamental subjects which are basic to true education. .-Ks well, it never forgets that a whole- some atmosphere physically and morally is sternly indispensable, whatever may be the subjects under study. One could hardly come in contact at any point with Selwyn House School and not be impressed by its undeviating fidelity to its practical and lofty mission. ARTHUR KIEIGHEN.

Through the enthusiasm and hard work of a number of younger Old Boys a yery successful dinner was held in the School Hall just before Christmas, and the committee there appointed, with the aid of the Board of Governors, has since made the Uld Boys' Association a happy reality. Each member will receive a copy of the School Magazine and so keep in touch with developments within the school, and the Old Boys' Section has been greatly expanded. XYe all look forward to great things from the work of the Association. The School hockey teams this year were Very successful, in winning the Timmins Trophy and the Raymond Trophy. This was due greatly to their fine spirit and sportsmanship. The early practices at the Yerdun Auditorium were also very valuable in producing fine players. VVe would like here to express our thanks to the Right Honourable Arthur Meighen, who wrote the inspiring Foreword to this Magazine. Our best wishes go to all the Seniors who graduate from School this year. May they have happy and successful lives. l7l SIZLWYN llOl'Sl-I SCHOOL MAGAZINE Qpeaixers As in past years, a number of distinguished Old Boys and Visitors have addressed the School at Assembly or at other functions.

During the month of May the new stamps, commemorating her crowning, began to appear. Charles Chaffey exhibited hve of the Canadian design, and two of the English, all of the first day of issue. Colin Moseley and Robert Aikman showed stamped envelopes also of the lirst day of issue. The new coins of Coronation Year were displayed by Peter Hyde and Charles Chaliey, providing examples of England and Canada. Much interest was shown in Richard Udd's replica of the gold spoon used in the anointing of Her Majesty in the Coronation ceremony. These exhibits were followed by the formation of a Coronation procession on the long library table. The centre of attraction was the Royal golden coach, generously lent by Tim Peters. with the bodyguard, and the beef eaters from the Tower. Maxi Ferro and Peter Terroux provided the major part of the Royal Cavalcade, with their very smart regiments, but jonathan Meakins supplied the 'Mounties', and Peter Hyde some distinguished Cavalry regiments, while the 'Princess Pats' were contributed by Michael Dunn with an eliective-looking infantry band. Peter Terroux's and Maxi Ferro's forts took the place of Buck- ingham Palace which it was found diflicult to reproduce. A separate military exhibit was arranged by Peter Terroux, showing Her Majesty on horseback, taking the salute from a regiment of Scot's Greys, a Marine Corps, with other troops of artillery and cavalry. The glories of the Coronation closed our activ- ities in the library for the Summer Term 1953. September brings us the spoils of the sea, as most of us have opportunities of exploring beaches through the summer months, therefore our first interest in the Christmas Term is given to a Shell Exhibition. Michael Berrill brought a systematically arranged collection with explanatory notes from which we learned much. The key-hole sand collars, the spiral cockles, and the sword of the Sword Fish, with a drawing of the fish in action, claimed most attention. These specimens were from Maine. Maxi Ferro had been to Cape Cod and his very fine group of shells ranged from a tiny whelk to the long tail of a large Horseshoe Crab. Maxi had also a collection of the claws of crabs, very entertaining in their variety and size. Dwight Brainerd's beautiful collection from Florida called forth a great deal of admiration, the colouring and exquisite markings were unusually line. He had a large Horshoe Crab which. titted with Maxi's crab tail, might have made a good warning to bathers on the Atlantic coast. Todd La Fontaine con- tributed a group of shells from Cape Cod which were not only good specimens in colour and size, but represented almost every shell to be found on the Atlantic coast in that area. He had a large piece of red coral with them, unequalled in the exhibit. Charles Chaffey showed shells from the shores of the Mediterranean which were extremely interesting in comparison with those of the Atlantic coast, the former showing much more clearly defined and deeply incised lines than shells of the same type from the Atlantic. The difference was very marked. Other contributors to the shell exhibit were Richard Hunt, Nicholas liairis, Kerry Martin, Stephen Parker, Christopher and Timothy Coristine. David Stollmeyer brought a large conch shell from the South Pacific which having one end cut off made a hideous noise when blown. It is used by the natives as a horn, and was used by the natives of the library all too often. David's collection of shells from Trinidad was much admired. The months of October and November were notable for us in a display of autographs of authors and other famous people. Michael Berrill was fortunate in the distinction of having books written by his father and mother. Their sig- llll SELWYN I'lOl'Sli SCHOOL IXI.-XGAZINI-Q natures had a personal interest for us. lle also had works written by six different authors and signed by them. Rachel Carson, who wrote 'The Sea around Us' was one of them. He also showed works by Rutherford Platt, and NY. R. Klelskill, with a letter from Julian Huxley. Bill l'edoe exhibited the autograph of Arthur Ransoine, sent by Mr. Ransome to Bill himself. This was one of special interest to us all, as Nlr. Ransome's many works are on the shelves of the library, and enjoyed by a large group of readers. Bill I'edoe's display also contained the signatures of Walter de La Mare and li. J. Pratt. The former was on a copy of his poem News , in a limited edition, the latter on his poem on Dunkirk. Many of the readers in the library have enjoyed Cargoes on the Great Lakes , Bill showed the autograph of the authoress, Marie NlcI'hedran. Charles Chalfey lent five letters of great interest, as they were signed by Sir XVilliam Osler, one of our most famous Canadians, john Kendrick Bangs, a well-known writer of other days, Mackenzie King, and one from our present Prime Minister Mr. St. Laurentg also one signed by Archdeacon Fortier. Roger Bellingham showed a programme of the Shakespeare Festival of last summer, with a portrait of Alec Guiness as Richard III, autographed by him. Roger Bellingham also had a signature of Baden-Powell, which we were all glad to see. David Stollmeyer lent three books autographed by their authors: they were Austin L. Cross, Peter Freuchen, and H. Dickey. Maxi Ferro lent two volumes containing facsimiles of famous people's signatures. XVe exhibited those of Daniel Boone and Fenimore Cooper which specially interested the library. Mr. Howis kindly gave us a collection of autographs of distinguished people, amongst whom were Field Marshal Lord Roberts of Kandahar fame, Mrs. Humphrey XVard, the Duke of Norfolk, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and many others. Mr. 1. Kjelgaard, whose many adventurous stories and works on animal life are in the library, sent us a pleasant letter with his autograph. Mr. john Hayes was asked for his autograph and he kindly paid a visit to the library and signed four of his works which are on the library shelves, and which tell exciting tales of adventure during different phases of Canadian history. The Autograph Exhibit was much enjoyed, as the contributors had provided such worth-while examples. Our thoughts had been concentrated on books and the makers of them so that the library shelves seemed to take on new importance. On November 27th, His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch visited the school and came into the library where a small case had been arranged describing the connection of Lord Selkirk, ancestor of the Duke, with Montreal. McGill Uni- versity kindly lent three Beaver Club medals, which are very rare now. The famous Beaver Club entertained Lord Selkirk in the winter of 1804. December opened with a display of stamps of the Middle and Far East. Stephen l'arker's and Francisco Cardona's collections were very comprehensive, covering Hong Kong, Mongolia, India and Iran, Pakistan, etc. Robin Gilbert lent an outstanding group of stamps from Siam from the period of 1883 to 1920. Harry Bloomfield showed eighteen stamps from the new state of Israel, the first examples we have seen in the Library. They were most interesting. Nigel Green- wood eontributed stamps of Iraq, of India and Tanna Tuba, Hugh Turnbull and Robert Aikman exhibited the coronation stamps of the British colonies in the Far liast, and the far-flung islands of the Commonwealth showed Her Majesty crowned, in beautiful design. ll2l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR1953-1954 Peter Vodstrcil exhibited three Chinese Christmas cards of which the illustrations were made entirely of stamps. The workmanship was very delicate and the colouring so skilfully managed with the various stamps that the im- pression that they were painted was very convincing. In February the Far East stamps gave way to 'Stamps of Flower and Insect' design. There were very few of these among the members but Maxi Ferro lent the library an extremely well-arranged group of butterfly and insect stamps, as well as some beautiful flower forms, from Venezuela. The Belgian Congo, Colombia, Salatan, Holland, and Costa Rica. But those of San Marino were the most beautiful of all. Bill Hesler lent stamps from San Marino and Colombia, with lovely flower patterns. Nigel Greenwood also contributed a 'lily' Bermudian stamp, with four animal stamps. Geology interested us in March in the library. Michael Berrill's well- assorted specimens of rock from Canada caused incessant questioning. But all the questions were answered by Michael's notes, numbered to correspond with the exhibits. Old and young alike were curious about them all. lYe are grateful to Michael for allowing us to enjoy them. Nigel Greenwood also brought some samples of rock from France, Greenland and Western Germany. They were carefully examined for weeks, and we liked seeing samples from other countries. The library had various small contributions to many different subjects. Aeroplane models made by Richard Hunt claimed much attention. Maxi Ferro allowed us to show five good models of airships, the most impressive being the 'Thunder jet'. Maxi also let us see his model of the U.S.S. warship 'Missouri'. Richard Hunt's 'skyrocket' was much admired. Peter Schaal let us use his map of Canada, raised in plasticene, and well done,l in our geography shelf. Peter Russel and Eric Garland collected a bird's nest, we think a fine example: while john Beament brought nests of a wren and a nuthatch, Howard Sherback a robin's nest, and Gerald Ross a humming bird. A well formed oriole's nest was given by Rodney Tait. These will fit into a bird display before the Summer term ends, we hope. Timothy Stewart presented the Library with eighteen stamps, which we will use in future exhibits. Rene Des- marais lent two interesting aerial stamps from Lille, France. Miles Tyrer lent the library an English shell. Miss Mabel Molson has been a generous donor to the Library throughout the year. She has presented books on history, biography, geography, science, nature, art, and Scripture, as well as works of fiction. A large collection of books, on the subject of the Coronation, was sent by her to the school last May. These have been well used and enjoyed. Mrs. S. B. Ralston gave a long list of useful books also: as did Mr. G. H. M. Campbell. Peter Mitchell donated a large number of books for all ages which are now in circulation and being enjoyed by many readers. Books have also been given by the following:-Mrs. N. J. Berrill, who kindly gave us her XVoodland Animalsf' and her latest work, Strange Nurseriesng and other donors are Kerry Martin, Bruce McHale, Michael Meighen, john Clarke, Mrs. D. D. McGoun, Mrs. E. Hambly, the Hon. Mr. Arthur Meighen, who gave his own work, autographed, on Xllilliam Shakespeare. Roger Bellingham, Peter Russel, Edward Manthorp, and Bobby Bolles all gave nice, useful books. l13l J SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE The Yth. Form of 1953 presented the Library with a subscription to the National Geographic Magazine for the year 1953-54. This occurred at the end of the Summer Term and the readers began to enjoy it on returning to school in September. It is greatly appreciated. Tim Peters was very kind when he gave the Library the junior Natural History Magazine . It comes every month and is full of funny things about animals. Richard I'dd has kindly presented the Library with the copy of the Royal anointing spoon. john Beament gave a model of Columbus' ship, The Pima , to the Library. It is 1 ft. 8 in. long, and is quite inspiring in the Explorer's section. The circulation of books during the year, from March 31, 1953 to March 31, 195-1 amounted to 2,8271 an increase over last year of 679. Of this number 250 were on scientific subjects, 182 in history. 1-14 on 'Xature', 90 in Geography, 75 in biography. and the remainder in works of fiction. 'Younger Books' and 'Things to do'. The number of books in the library to date is 3,387. 305 books have been added this year. Some of the outstanding works acquired through the year are the follow- ing:fTrevelyan's Illustrated English Social History . vols. 3 X 4: The Ox- ford junior Encyclopedia vol. 5: Churchill's Triumph and Tragedy : Here I Stand , the life of Martin Luther, by Roland Bainton: Alexander the Great . by Gunther, Masterpieces of Eloquence , edited by a group of scholars: and Men around Churchill by Rene Kraus. There was a marked increase in the use of works on the Classical period. Greek and Roman history were much in demand. DAY. THE CHOIRS The three choirs-Senior, Intermediate and junior-are to be con- gratulated on their rendering of the morning hymn at the School Assembly. This year new hymns and descants have been learnt and the singing has reached a commendable high standard, both as regards volume and tone. At the School Entertainment in December the Senior Choir sang O Nightingale, Awake in two parts. The Holly and the Ivy , with solos by Brian Dodd, David Barry. Bobby Aikman. Bill Hambly, Colin Moseley, David Bogert and Ditlef Iinudsen. and The Twelve Days of Christmas . which proved a great favourite with singers and audience alike. The Intermediate Choir sang All my heart this night rejoices , XYhen Christ was born of Mary free and Ding, dong. merrily on high . Soloists were Michael Stanger. Tommy Gray. Donald Doyle and Dwight Brainerd. In the bleak mid-winter , The Friendly Beasts and Good King IYenceslas were the carols rendered by the junior Choir. which furnished a long list of soloists as follows:fDonald Steven, john Buckell. Patrick Shaugh- nessy, Harry Bloomfield, Robert Bruce. Rene Desmarais, Tim Gilbert. Giles Hunt, Yytis Kaestli and Gerald Ross. It was generally agreed that this was the most successful performance by the choirs and the soloists especially were heard to greater advantage than ever before. Extra house points for the best solos were awarded as follows:-Two points each to Brian Dodd and Michael Stanger: one point each to David Barry, Tommy Gray, Donald Steven. Harry Bloomfield and Patrick Shaughnessy. l14l A-Zim if f SELWYN HOVSIQ SCHOOL MAGAZINE XX'e were once again invited to send 20 boys to sing carols at the M.A.A.A. Children's Christmas Party, and as in previous years we all had a most enjoyable time. In addition to receiving a present at the party, each member of the choir was afterwards given a lYaterman's lfversharp pencil. XYe are most grateful to the Directors of the M.A.A.A. for their generosity, and in particular to Mr. Lennox who made all the arrangements. A picked choir from the Seniors and Intermediates is busily engaged in preparing songs for the Prizegiving on june 0th and the members of both these choirs will shortly be competing for the Singing Prizes. As the results are likely to be so close we hope this year to invite an outside judge to make the final decisions and relieve the choirmaster of this diliicult task! Members of the Choirs are as follows:- Tlze Senior Clzoir:-Bobby Aikman, David Barry, Roger Bellingham David Bogert, Charles Chaffey, Robert Colby, Brian Dodd, Geoffrey Gaherty, Robin Gilbert, Peter Gordon, Robert Hallett, Bill Hambly, jamie Henwood, Richard Hunt, Ditlef Knudsen, Nicky LeMoine, Michael Lofft, Glenn McIntosh. jimmy McNeill, Fred McRobie, Colin Moseley, Michael Dsler, Stephen Parker, Bill Pedoe, Tim Peters, David Phillips, Ian Robertson, Peter Vodstrcil. v The Irzfermediczfe Cll0IiI'.'7jiII1IIliC Aikman, Michael Barry, Happy Baxter, Dwight Brainerd, john Cleghorn, Christopher Coristine, Donald Doyle, Billy lfakin, jolm Fieldhouse, Tommy Gray, Brien Gillespie, Robert Henwood, Christopher Hyde, David johnstone, Nicolas liairis, john Keays, Trygve Knudsen, Todd La Fontaine, Stephen Levitan, Crozier Lucas, john McGillis, Alec Miller, Victor Mills, jay Monge, Rodney Moore, john Newman, john Nickson, Gordon Peters, Brian Saunderson, Peter Schaal, Rodney Smith, Michael Stanger, john Stikeman, David Stollmeyer, Allan VV21kCi:1Cld, Bobby Zeller.

LITERARY COMPIi'I'ITIOXS As in past years, a number of Selwyn House boys submitted entries in the Royal limpire Society Annual Essay Competition. XYe congratulate Tim Peters and Colin Moseley on gaining first and second prize respectively in Section C. Those securing honorable mention were Roger Bellingham, Charles Chaffey, jimmie livans, XYilliam Pedoe and Rodney Tait. Twenty schools participated in the local contest and just under 400 essays were submitted in all. The magazine literary contest was judged this year by Mrs. Markland, the results being as follows: Poetry:-lst. Bill Pedoe, Znd. Michael Berrill. Hon. mention: Tim Peters, Bill Hambly, Robert Aikman and Anthony Maxwell. Short Story: No award. Hon. Mention: Tim Peters, Robert Aikman. Essay: lst. Peter Yodstrcil, Znd. john Chamard. Hon.

We were all delighted to learn of Donald Steven's success in winning a major award in the Young People's Symphony Concerts' Competition with a First-class musical scrap-book. l16l FOR 'INHI-I SCHOOL YEAR 1053-1054 FORMS C .-XXI? D S'I'.'XFF We were very distressed to learn of Mr. Mayer's illness and most dis- appointed that he was unable to return to Selwyn House last September. This disappointment deepened to real sorrow when it was announced that on medical advice he had decided to remain in England and sever his connection with our school. XYe shall all miss him very greatly, especially in the production of plays, in which sphere he had distinguished himself most particularly during his years at Selwyn House. One and all, we would wish him a speedy recovery to good health and every happiness in the future. Mr. john P. Bury, M..-X., a graduate of Durham University, England, and a recent arrival in Canada, joined the Staff in September to take Mr. Mayer's place. XVe do hope that his year with us has been a happy one and we wish him all success as he goes from us. Our congratulations to Mr. Howes on his recent marriage, and to Mr, Davies and Mr. Mingie on the cheerful little bundles of voluble humanity which have recently joined their households. Greetings to all their former students at Selwyn House come from Miss Snead and Mr. Perkins, and visits from Mr. Howis are keenly enjoyed by Staff and boys alike. Old Boys' will recall Miss Bruce, who has also paid us periodic visits during the past few years. To all four former luminaries of Selwyn House we send our best wishes. l17l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE bpurrs ZBap anh Smarts rigegihing tit'xli.1ossi On XYednesday, May 27th, the Annual Sports were held in the Molson Stadium.

T l23l SELWYN HOVSIC SCHOOL NIAG.-XZINE is YXTXWWX7 DEBATING The t'lub of the Selwyn Uratorical Society for 1053-54 was named the Iota lilub, after the custom of using Greek letters. The members from the fifth form elected the executive at the lirst meetine. Vharles Vliaffey was chosen as President 5 Tim Peters as Yice-l'resident 5 and Rodney Tait as Secretary-Treasurer. XYe met on every other lfriday, alternate meetings being held in the afternoon and the evening. .Xt some of the meetings there were formal debates: while at others we had short speeches or a quizz. Some of the subjects discussed were very controversial, such as That Nlontreal is a more progressive muni- cipality than Toronto. The movies and television also had their share, including That there should be no age limit to admission to the movies , and That Television is a menace to Professional Sport. Others included That the piano is preferable to any other musical instrument, and Hunting is better than Fisl1ii1e'. Another feature of the meetings was the one-minute speeches which provided great entertaimnent to the members. .-Xt one meeting a tape recorder was borrowed, and we all enjoyed hearing our own speeches. For this we must thank Nlr. lidd. XYe should all like to thank most heartily Mr. Speirs, who worked very hard to ensure that the club would be a success. l'l'BI,IC' Sl'li.-XKIXG The Public Speaking Vontest, an annual feature of school life, took place last lfebruary. Xlr. llayies yery kindly consented to judge the liourth Form preliminaries, while Nlr. Nloodey did so in the Fifth Form. The linals were helfl at a school assembly. Klr. Vharles Rittenhouse. prominent in the education world, was the judge. lihe speakers and subjects were: llayid Terroux, Klodern transport is making man physically less fit. lfranciseo t'ardona, liveryone should speak at least two languages. Bill l'edoe, Twentieth century man is becoming a slave to the machine. Tim l'eters, Klodern s mort is losine its sense of slortsmanshi . l . Vharles Vhalley, .X subway is the only solution to Nlontreal's traffic problem. Ciharles Vhaffey was adjudged the winner, with Bill Pedoe and Tim Peters second equal. Richard lldd was chairman. l24l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1955-195-L HOLSE DEBATING The House Debating this year was very keen and exciting. At the pre- liminaries, held in March at an Iota Club meeting, Speirs House lCharles Chatfey and james Evansl defeated Macaulay House lDavid Terroux and Charles Colbyl, upholding the negative of the motion That XYinter Sports are more beneficial than Summer Sports. In the other debate, That the Telephone is more of a nuisance than an advantage in a private home, XYanstall House lTiI11 Peters and Michael Oslerl, upholding the negative, won over Lucas House lBill Pedoe and Richard Lddl. Mr. Moodey very kindly acted as judge. In the finals, the two winning houses and the two losing houses debated against each other. Speirs House won the contest, upholding the adirniative of the motion That travel by air, at the present time, is safer than travel by road 3 while Macaulay House KTony Maxwell and David Terrouxl lost the second debate upholding the negative of the motion, That manual skill with limited mental ability is a better combination than brilliance without dexterity. Bill Pedoe was judged the best speaker in that debate. Mr. Phillips was judge in the finals, which were open to the Senior boys. XYe would like to thank very much both the judges, and also to commend Michael Osler, who had not had much previous debating practice. CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT This season's Christmas Entertainment, held on Thursday, December 17th, featured four plays and groups of carols sung by the three choirs. A new departure this year was a junior School performance of The Mad Hatter's Tea Party, produced by Mrs. Tester and delightfully acted by the following: Timothy Stewart as the Mad Hatter: Robert Fowler as the March Hare: Michael Guite as the Dormouse: and Patrick Shaughnessy as the re- doubtable land very beautifull Alice. The setting of the play won spontaneous applause from a very appreciative audience of parents and friends at the after- noon performance. A farce in French. entitled Decrochez-moi Cal , produced by Mme. Cyger, assisted by Mr. Moodey, was staged at the evening performance. Maxie Ferro and Pandy Embiricos played the stellar roles most convincingly. Others in the cast who acted with zest and aplomb included ,lay Monge, Michael Stanger, Allan XYakeF1eld, Richard Leach and Brian Saunderson. john Fieldhouse at the last moment took the place of Patrick Phillips, who was unfortunately absent because of illness. The two plays which were presented at both performances were Odd's Fish , an amusing sketch based on an excerpt from jerome's Three Men in a Boat , dramatised and produced by Mr. Moodey, and Campbell of Iiiln1ohr , straight tragedy of the 1745 Rebellion. In Odd's Fish Colin Moseley and l25l SIZLWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE David Barry ably carried the major roles, and Hugh Turnbull. Robert Volbv, Francisco fardona and Peter Yodstrcil proved a very effective supporting cast. john Vliamard, eleventh hour substitute for David Phillips, made a realistic land somewhat bibulousl village carrier. C'ampbell of Kilmohru called for the more experienced actors, and the training of Mr. Mayer in past productions was observable in the performance of the entire cast, Bill Hamblv had a multi-faceted part to play in the title role- and he plaved it with feeling and with power. Tim Peters, as the tragic Old woman, was most effective in his iron restraint. whilst Charles Chaffev played the over-wrought. girlish lover with keen sensitiveness. Michael Lofft and Teddy Fouinantaros acted the courageous Jacobite and the obsequious secretary respectively with realism, and Bill Pedoe made a fine, straightforward captain, and james livans and Anthony Maxwell a pair of handsome soldiers. The three choirs, under Mr. Phillips' able direction. sang most creditablv, each choir rendering a group of three carols. Backstage we were indebted as usual to Mrs. Howis and Mrs. Tester for the fine jobs of making-up the actors and to Mr. Moodev lablv aided by David Terroux and Lawlor XYakeml as imperturbable stage-manager.

As we go around, we may see on the first row: Roger Bellingham. This is a quiet person, who recently pulled out of some itchy measles. He is a prominent scout. Then there is David Bogert, who is a good sportsman, and who won his hockey and soccer colours this year. He is Vice-Captain of XYanstall House. Francisco Ciardona comes next. He is one of the better basketball players of the school, and is very studious. He is a noted linguist. On the second row we see, beside the window, which in the French lesson has to be open, Teddy Coumantaros who recently has been appointed acting Prefect, which is an honour to the class. He is also a good soccer player and a hard worker. There, at Teddy's left sits, with a pleasant smile, Geoffrey Gaherty, who, between visits, is a good student. And at the far XYest of that row is Bill Hambly, one of the best students in the class, and an excellent actor. As he always has something to make us laugh, he suffers from frequent impositions. Then on the third row, towards the far side are seated Michael Lofft and Ian Robertson, and among the quietest members of this sometimes noisy class. Michael starred as an actor, and Ian as a skier. Then in the middle row sits Colin Moseley, one of the best students of this class. and also one of the finest sportsmen in this school. He has also won his hockey and soccer colours. Lawlor XYakem sits behind Moseley, and, with his humour, gives us some of the finest moments in our Maths and Science lessons. He is the sage of Longueuil. And there, sitting in the best place of the whole classroom. beside the radiator, is Robert Osler, an excellent scholar in Latin, and English, with a quick wit and a ready smile. Many thanks should be given to our form master, Mr. Moodey, who has endured us during this past season of 1953-54. Very soon Summer Holidays will arrive, and all of us will happily go to beaches and camps, to come back with redoubled vigour to school in September. FORM III All four houses are well represented in Form III this year. Lucas House has Bobby Aikman, who is in the Choir and Scoutsg jamie Henwood, a quiet lad who is a friend to the needy: Richard Hunt, the youngest student, who does well in class: Ditlef Knudsen, who comes from Norway: Fred McRobie who is a good athlete: and Stephen Parker, whose attendance is somewhat intermittent but much appreciated. In Macaulay House are the bright sparks of the Form: Glenn McIntosh, Jimmie McNeill, and Robbie Colby. These three are also the wits of the Form. The other member is David Phillips, who is one of the good workers. I31l SELWYN HOVSE SCHOOL RIAGAZINI-I XYanstall House has David Barry, who is quite a good student: Brian Dodd, who is a great wit: Robin Gilbert. who works very hard: Robert Hallett. who is battling with Hunt for first place: and Peter Yodstrcil, a quiet lad, who still likes his bit of fun. Speirs House boasts -lohnny Vhamard, who gets fantastic marks in history and geography: Peter Gordon, who is on the teams in soccer and hockey: Nicky I-t-Nloine, another bright spark who competed with Klcliobie for the gym crest: George Thomson, who is very quiet during a lesson, but likes fun: and Hugh 'l'urnbull who has a sense of humour which sometimes breaks out in loud laughter. .Xll these make Form III, banded together under Nlr. Davies. R.S.H. FORM II l'm feeling mighty grim, for I'ni out on a limb: It's time for form notes again. .Xs I walk down our hall I can hear a Callf Those editors are chasing in vain. It's a formidable job and one that plays hob .Xnd is liable to drive me insane. For to twenty-tive students it wouldn't be prudent .X verse each to give you, see! .Xnd I know Form Two will undoubtedly rue A rhymer they made out of me. But I'll be fair: their names will be there, And anything elsefit' it's easy. Ian Belton and Doyle are two boys who toil, :Xnd as quiet as mice are they. But Ferro makes noise for the rest of the boys: His reward-an hour on Thursday! Xthile in a seat in the back XYaketield keeps track Of everything going his way. .Xthletes we have many, almost two for a penny. .Xnd soccer and hockey claim most. Saunderson and Peachey, Phillips and Leachie To Eakin and lileghorn do boast Of their shots that will kill, their relative skill In the defence sifting round like a ghost. Vubs there are too-Barry. Xlonge, and 'lierroux Voristine and Brainerd et al. Senior boys in the packfscouts if they're back :Xt Selwyn next year with their pals. Klartin, Zeller, and Gray our classes keep gay XYith giggling and laughter hysterical. Boundy, jackson, and Hyde take work in their stride, Never minding it one little bit. Lalfontaine and Nobbs are right on their jobs, Though their thoughts on occasion do Hit. :Xnd down goes my pen with Stanger and Levitan For they are the last I must ht. I F I l32l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1955-195-I FORM IB XYhoever wishes to study quietly, or wants to make others do some work, can enter Form IB classroom, as it is very conveniently situated. As I have said, you can usually concentrate there, except one day a week, when some small fellows gather in the library, and their silent reading sounds like an animated debate in parliament. Boys in IB are a very nice group, not too noisy or too untidy. Quite a few are very good students in nearly every subject. A small number often need encouragement in their attempt to do well. All are keenly interested in sports. The majority belong to the Senior Cubs, and they lend their voices to improve the school Choir. Some of us come from different European countries, and we speak with diverse accents, once in a while a subtle nuance in English pronunciation causes an amusing little incident. A.G. FOR Nl 1A It would be interesting to find appropriate tags which might serve almost as mottoes for each of the forms at Selwyn House. Form Y suggests the exas- perated question Quis custodiet ipsos cnstodes? , while Form III is neatly hit OH by the line Turpe est vitam hanc ignavam agere , which comes from the widely known classic, Fabulae Faciles. It is not so easy to sum up IA so suc- cinctly, but I would suggest Nec pluribus impair , which Brien Gillespie might render as no plurals imparisyllabicn, but which I might freely translate as Quite as good as anyone else . IA is a small, compact form, dwelling on the top floor, between Form V and a mysterious locked door where rumour has it that people like David Mc- Lernon disappear to be seen no more. lVe had originally eleven members, with flying visits from Oswaldo Chafardet, from Venezuela. XVith the recent arrival of a thirteenth member, Robert LeMoyne, there was the possibility of bad luck, but we are hoping for the best. Perhaps the natural leader of IA is john Fieldhouse, of the stalwart frame and keen intelligence. An Anglo-Canadian, he claims his ambition is to be centre-forward for Aston Villa, but others may feel he is more likely to follow his father at McGill. Vying with him for academic honours are Gordon Peters- by no means content to bask in his brother's reflected glory-and Alexander Nliller. From the master's desk, one can see that quite a few in this year's IA will go far, including others not yet mentioned, such as Henwood, Keays and NlcGillis or the redoubtable Mills and Teryazos. j.P.B. FO R M A There was no denying it-he was missing. After we had been dismissed from the Form A classroom for break, no one had seen him leave. Fowler and Campbell, who never finish their milk on time, stated that they did hear noises in the room. Campbell added that considering who was in the room the noises were not unusual. Gilbert and Desmarais, who sat outside on the tire-escape studying C ?D during break, claim that he did not leave by that exit. l33l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Shaughnessy, who was usually first into the room, and last out, really discovered the absence. No one thought anything of it, although the red liquid on the floor did look suspicious. Nlrs. Nlarkland came into the class to silence the noise. liaestli was told to get up off the fioor. Beament was asked to put away the human shrunken head he was playing with. You could never tell what that boy would bring to school. Steven, Stewart, and Thomas sensed something was wrong, when they found their desks upset and their contents strewn all over the place. At first they accused Small of being up to his old tricks, but he denied having any part of it, and said that it looked like a mess caused by two people fighting. Greenwood discovered a piece of a strange leaf on the floor. The class naturalist, foristine, identified it as the leaf of a plant not found in this country. :Xt this point a hush fell over ns. XYhat did all these things mean: blood on the rloor tit looks like bloodl, desks upset, his absence, and the strange leaf on the floor. Rawlings was the first to grasp at what had happened. Peter Pan had been in the room, and possibly had something to do with the strange happenings. Prager remembered that the absent one. when questioned, had declared that Peter Pan was just a story-book character. All the class, of course, knew how wrong he was. Peter Pan could do some amazing things if he wanted to. There was, at that point, some speculation in the class as to whether Peter Pan had anything to do with the disappearance. Ross and Buckell knew how handy Peter was with his sword. They had had an encounter with him. That was why the blood on the fioor worried them. They examined the liquid closely and were quite disappointed when it tttrned out to be ink. Bloomfield was all for instituting a search, but no one would listen but Dolman. Questions by the self-appointed detectives established that Bruce had been the last to see the absent one. Bruce had stayed in a few minutes to feed the Ciuppies at break. l-le did remember, though, hearing queer noises in the chimney. Paquet suggested a thorough search of the chimney should be made. Guite, one of the smallest, and XYatchorn, one of the strongest members of the class, were chosen to investigate the fireplace. Unite climbed on XYatchorn's shoulders and stuck his head up the chimney. When he had extended his arms above his head Guite felt a pair of shoes. Guite gave a tug which not only loosened the pair of shoes but also a body attached to the shoes. ln a second, there was a pile of mixed-up arms, legs, bodies and heads at the bottom of the fireplace. We had found the absent member of the class. Fan you name the person Peter Pan had tried to spirit away? FORM B Should you find yourself on the steps, waiting for the front door of school to be opened, you might glance to the right and notice through the window three young boys. Their heads might be bent studiously over their books, or, perhaps they are standing on tiptoe with arms stretched upwards, making frantic efiorts to attract attention. The eagerness of their expression shows clearly that they not only know the answers, but are anxious to share them with the other members of the class. By this time. the youngsters you see through that pane of glass become individuals and you cannot fail to recognise McNeill, 3IacDougall and Steinberg. l3-ll FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1955-195-L Perhaps your curiosity has been sufficiently whetted by your glimpse into one small corner of our classroom that when you get into the hall. you will open the first door to the right and meet the other members of the class. Almost hidden by the opening of the door is Bolles, writing with pains- taking care in his exercise book. Behind him you should find llclsernon ii, but, if his chair is vacant, look around. Our good-natured little Colin is doubtless prone on the floor searching for a pencil or eraser dropped by one of his neigh- bours. The golden-haired cherub near the bookcase can be none other than Brodhead. And looks can be deceiving, though he has been known to be angelic. The charming smile beside the radiator belongs to LaFontaine. He needs a certain tolerance, as Garland, sitting just in front appears to be made of rubber. Round he swivels as though he is already sitting at his ofhce-desk. That is the back of the head you see now-his face which you will see again in a split-second is bright and intelligent, though blurred by the constant rotary motion. Next comes blond Pearce: new to this country and the school. He ran through several countries with the three R's chasing him, and only catching him in this, his latest home. They are now his daily companions, and jeremy is resigned and even making the best of it. Then comes Russel who, with Stikeman, sitting over by the wall, will never die of over-work. However, it is nice to be good-humoured. and to laugh with such evident enjoyment. These two comfortable-looking young gentlemen sitting in adjacent desks are Duthie and Manthorp. It may cross your mind that they would wear the RIayor's chain with dignity some few years hence. And indeed their French is good and they can easily count up to ten thousand. Notice, too, the twinkling eye suggesting the necessary touch of humour. It is just a thought-but remember their names! Just behind is little Kairis with his dark and Flashing eyes. Never a frown crosses his pleasant face and we are grateful for his cheerfulness. He with Saint- Pierre are our very lively artists. Now rest your eyes a moment by looking to the left to see Johnston, Tyrer, Laing and Birks. The concern they show is caused by Duthie's return from Scotland during the Easter Term. They fear the competition for those top places will be keener and stiffer now. The little chap with the elfin face and far-away expression is Maxwell II. He is dreaming that he is lying on his back looking up through gently billowing sails into a summer blue sky. It is cruel to bring him back to the present and the necessity of weeks of labour before his dream becomes reality. :Xnd Hutchins there! everybody's friend. He dreams up parts for all to play in the games he is planning just as soon as the bell should ring. See Ballantyne Hashing his infectious smile and talking-now to Usher-Jones and now to Campbell. And that is Roulson who has overcome his shyness and has won his way into our hearts by his modest quietness. Now let us consider some of the new and difficult tasks which face our boys as they enter this, their third year in school. Each becomes a member of one of the four houses, and works for points gained in the academic field or on the field of sport: points, which are so hard to gain but so easy to lose by slackness. Homework is a new must this year, and is tackled bravely though with much l35l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE forgetfulness. On the other hand a very pleasant beginning is made in scouting by joining the Cub pack, and all are very keen. Adjustment to these new tasks seems to come naturally to the children as they work and play in a group under supervision and direction. But there is another activity causing some concern, which, though IlOt the province of the school, is only made possible by the as- sociation of our boys in a class. As our children participate in various activities together they find out, that for certain people they have a strong affection while for others, but a friendly tolerance: and, to celebrate great events in their lives, the presence of close and sympathetic friends can make an occasion into an event to be remembered with warmth and joy. So we all go through our lives wanting the presence of dear ones whenever we wish to share our happiness. There are occasions when we must make merry in an immense crowd. Later in life our boys will be called upon to attend conventions, cocktail parties and the like, but, could they not, in all reason, first learn the art of social behaviour in a small group? Could not each birthday party at this tender age, be small enough to give happiness and satisfaction as well as pointers on how to become a good host, and how a welcome guest ? That they should be thrust into merry- making crowds without any gentle easing into the art of social behaviour is asking more from our children than they can give. And so, dear parent, as we thank you for your visit and speed you on your way, may we ask your co-operation in this matter of parties: that at the end of the year we may say The boys of Form B have grown physically, mentally and socially, and all reports about them are glowing. FORM C1 This year Form C was so large that it had to be divided. In the Form C1 register Brazier and Brydon are called hrst every day. lYe're sorry the former is leaving in May, His parents have bought a house, far from the city. From our point of view, we think this a pity. Gainsbury, a good worker, both quiet and shy. Yet nothing is missed by his ear or his eye. Harding, Hibbert and Hunter are next in the order, And the Hunters are now going south of the border . Both Timmy and Andrew have given of their best And are bound to be missed by the staff and the rest. Hoffmann arrived for a few days last term But then he went down with the chicken-pox germ. Klacnaughton and McNeil, in spite of their names Are as different in all ways as work is from games, Maurice and Martin are two of the best, They worry if they are not up with the rest. Ralston is a good worker, improved every day XYhich isn't so easy when one wants to play. Sherback and Stein, so dissimilar, but bright. Approach their sums differently, both get them right. Webster, last but not least, as all of us know. And if you're not sure, the exam marks will show. D.M.T. 1361 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1953-1954 FORM C2 All boys like stories. land who doesn'tJ especially when the-y're in it. So here goes with a couple of stories about the characters of CZ. Once upon a time there were three bears. The daddy bear was big and gruff and his name was Allan Zinman, the mummy bear was kind and gentle and her name was Tony Stikeman, and the baby bear was small and very observant and his name was Andrew Yodstrcil. The three bears lived in a lovely cottage in the woods and one day they went out for a walk. XYhile they were out a young fellow with golden hair who always goes farther away from his desk, lexcuse me, I mean hoinel, than he should, wandered up to the cottage. His name is really Michael Shaughnessy, but we'll call him Goldilocks. After trying the three bears' chairs, their porridge, and their beds, Goldi- locks, alias Michael Shaughnessy, finally fell asleep on the little bear's bed. Then the three bears returned. XYho's been sitting in my chair and eating my porridge ? roared Allan Zinman. Whos been sitting in my chair and eating my porridge ? said Tony Stikeman. lYho's broken my chair and eaten up all my porridge ? piped up Andrew Yodstrcil. On going upstairs Goldilocks was discovered fast asleep on the little bear's bed. There she is said Andrew Yodstrcil and up Michael Shaughnessy got and jumped out of the window tbecause he's good at gymj, and ran all the way home, where he was welcomed by his mother, whose name was Bruce Fowler, who had been terribly worried, and had as a matter of fact sent his father, alias, Tommy Birks, to look for him. XYhen Tommy Birks, who was very brave, returned, he said he had seen a wolf, which leads me to another story. Once upon a time there was a little girl. tand sometimes a little boyj who didn't always do what he was told. They called him Little Red Riding Hood but his name was really Patrick Doheny. One day his mother, John Angus. packed a basket of goodies for him to take to his grandmother, who lived on the other side of the woods. Now be careful, Patrick, said the father, Ian Taylor, and don't stop to pick flowers on the way. XYell, little Red Riding Hood started out through the path in the woods, but he forgot his father's warning and stopped to pick some Howers. By and by the cunning wolf, Georges Hebert, came along and asked where Little Red Riding Hood was going. I'm going to visit my Grandmother said Patrick. XYell, give her my regards said Georges, and off he went by a short cut to the grand- mother's house. NYhen the wolf got to the house he knocked on the door and the grand- mother who was really Michael Bassadone said: XYho's there ? It's I, Little Red Riding Hood , said Hebert in Doheny's voice. Come on in, then said Michael Bassadone. So the wolf went upstairs, chased the grandmother into a cupboard, and got into bed and pretended he was Bassadone. Finally, Little Red Riding Hood arrived and just as she said grand- mother, what a big mouth you have , and the wolf replied all the better to eat you with , Billy Dupont, the hunter, arrived. He caught hold of Hebert. who realised the game was up and turned back to his usual cheerful self, and everyone lived happily ever afterwards! XY.D.M. l37l SELWYX HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE FORM IJ Very interesting and at times enlightening are the conversations carried on by the five- and six-year old pupils in Form D. Certain of these remarks made to each other or from a boy to his teacher, are listed below. The authors' names, arranged in alphabetical order, will be found at the end. The things I like best at school are the games we play at Recess time . That's what I like best too. This is the only school I have ever been to except Sunday School, and you don't learn the same things there that you learn here. I come to school to learn so that I can be a very good man when I grow up. I came to Selwyn House because I get out earlier than if I went to another school. Sit down and listen to the teacher if you want to know anything when you grow up. I'd like to be a doctor when I grow up. They make a lot of money. A doctor told me that. You should be kind to people because they might be kind to you. XYhen the teachers scold us they only do it for our own good. Isn't that true ? Is! boy. I wish I could have seen King Canute when he told the waves to stop coming nearer. Zim' boy. If you had been alive then, you would be dead now. Is! boy. I wouldn't mind that because I would be seeing God. If you tell a lie you are failing God. My Father's keeping my arithmetic paper. I got over S0 marks. He's proud of me. My father never makes a mistake. I have no sister. I have a dog. If you think you are going to get a spanking, put on a lot of clothes. .'Xren't the meals good in this school ?

The Fathers batted first. and made little headway against excellent bowling by Meighen and Carsley. The School fielded keenly, and it was a bril- liant catch by Aikman which ended Mr. Martin's innings much sooner than anyone had expected or hoped. The Fathers were all out for a mere 55, of which most came from a stand by Mr. Martin and Mr. Hunt. Meighen's analysis of 6 wickets for 13 runs in eight overs was a distinguished performance. The School began disastrous-ly. losing two wickets almost immediately. Meighen and Aikman batted well until the former was out to a foolish stroke, and the next wicket fell at once. Then a splendidly careful, but by no means unenterprising partnership, dominated by Evans. carried the score past the Fathers' total. There was time to complete the innings and allow the Fathers to bat again. The final scores were: FATHERS' XI 53 lMr. Martin 17, Mr. Hunt 11, Meighen 6 for 131 and 70 for 8 fMr. Martin 23 retired. Mr. Hunt 17 retiredl: S.H.S. 70 fEvans 27. Meighen 17. Aikman 12, Mr. Matson 5 for 151, Colours were awarded to Meighen and Evans. l3'fl SI-ILWYN HOVSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE VNDIQR 12 I'RII'KliT XN'ith the majority of the boys in Forms 1 and 2 playing cricket this year and displaying considerable enthusiasm for the game a useful team was formed. t'onsistent improvement was shown during the season, especially in bowling and fielding, and it was with high hopes that we set off to Montebello on May 30th to play Sedbergh School. The match proved to be a most exciting one. In the first innings Selwyn House found the matting wicket a little strange and were seven runs behind at the end. Batting again, we showed much more confidence and were able to set Sedbergh 37 runs to win. This they seemed likely to do when Bogert made a brilliant catch and good bowling took the last 3 wickets with an addition of only 2 runs to the score. Peters I was top scorer for Selwyn House with 14 not out, and XYilliams, Bogert, Moseley and Gordon all bowled well. The fielding on both sides reached a high standard. Selwyn House School :fl8 and 43 Sedbergh School ZPSZS and 32 Result:-XYon by 4 runs. F.G.P. SOCTI-Ili 110533 The team this year showed variable form, keeping its best performances for away games. At Sedbergh and Yalleyfield we showed good team work and plenty of drive, and it was difficult to recognize the team which had showed so little light at home. XYith tive Colours available next season we should have the nucleus of a stronger side, and one that we hope will play all-out on every occasion. FH.-XR.rXl I'ERS BUGIERT liloall.

The air is cool, the sky is blue, While in the pastures cows do moo. Beside their beds, small children pray, Thanking God for a lovely day.

Bill Hambly 6Form IVJ MY TRIP ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN It was a wonderful day as we sped towards Dorval airport in my father's car. The sun was shining brightly and the sky was as blue as the ocean which we would soon cross. I was very anxious to get in the plane, although I Hew when 18 months old, I felt the suspense people get when they are about to board a plane. At last I could see the control tower as we passed a clump of trees, armed with its searchlights that scanned the sky continually at night. In a matter of minutes we arrived at the office and had our luggage weighed and tickets checked. After that we had a good 20 minutes in which to relax. VVe went to the cafeteria, where out of the corner of my eyes I saw a boy at the news-stand buying comics with a relish. All at once my thoughts were interrupted by the drone of an aeroplane coming in for a landing. No sooner had the plane stopped, than a crew of mechanics swarmed over it. Some checked the propeller, others filled it with fuel, and still others made sure the port-holes were firmly screwed shut. I57l SELWYN HOVSE SCHOOL INIAGAZINE Suddenly over a load-speaker a voice boomed All passengers B.O.A.G llighl 207 to London via Prestwick. Please go to the door with the green light and board the plane. There, the final moment had come. People were pushing toward the exit door, saying last good-byes to friends that came to see them off. XXX- too boarded the plane. The stewardess showed us our seats. Over our heads there flashed a sign in neat red letters, which read: No smoking: Please fasten your safety belts. No sooner had we obeyed, than a clear pleasant voice spoke over the loud speaker: Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome aboard the l'onstellation 'REGXALIS'. XYe shall Hy directly to Prestwick, Scotland, and stay there half an hour to refuel, then proceed to London. This flight should take us 18 hours, weather permitting . He paused for a moment and then continued: In case of emergency there is a life jacket under your seat. The steward will hand out the pamphlets showing their use. I wish you a pleasant journey. The voice stopped as suddenly as it had started. I got up early next morning and got permission to visit the cockpit of the plane. It was very interesting with all its complicated dials and gadgets. The co-pilot let me use his earphones and I could detect a faint buzzing sound. The pilot explained, that it was the operator at the airport keeping contact. .-Xt seven we had breakfast of cereal and bacon and eggs. All at OIICC through a break in the clouds I spied land. Slowly the plane circled in spiralsg it soon had just 100 ft to touch ground. I could see small cottages and then the hangars of the airport come into view. Finally there was a thump and the wheels of the Constellation touched the concrete runway. After the plane taxied to a standstill a bus took the passengers to the Vustoms olhce. We had now completed the first leg of our journey which would take us as far as Germany. IYe had crossed the wide expanse of the Atlantic that separates North America from Europe. Peter Yodstrcil !Eorm IIIJ POSTXYA R G E R K I A N Y Since the end of the second XYorld War, Germany has made great gains both politically and economically. The four victors. Britain, France, Russia and the l'nited States each occupied different sectors of the once great country, the one belonging to Russia being known as East Germany and the balance being West Germany. In addition the allies were given half of Berlin, although it is located far inside the Russian zone. As in the case of all the countries of Eastern Europe, East Germany is under strict dictatorship. Therefore the workers have no initiative, the result being inferior products. West Germany. however, has made wonderful progress in every field since the war. Not only are the people free, but they also have their own govern- ment under Vhancellor Konrad Adenauer's Christian Democrats. Even though the war ended just nine years ago, the German people lead a prosperous and for the most part happy life.

I9 john fhamard tForm IIIJ HOW THE DAILY NEWSPAPER IS PRINTED One day I received a telephone call from my best friend, asking me if I would like to go with him and his father down to the newspaper office and see how the papers were printed. At once I said I would go and he told me he would pick me up in the car at 7 o'clock next evening. I was ready at 6.30 next evening, and I was quite excited, for I had always wanted to know how a newspaper was printed. I was called for, and we were soon on our way down to the newspaper building. XVhen we arrived, we were taken down to the basement to see the paper on which the words are printed. It amazed me to see the huge rolls of paper which covered the floor of the basement and were almost as high as the ceiling. I was told that 22 of these huge rolls were used every day. Then we went up to the fourth Hoor of the building. The man who was showing us around, said that after the news was collected by the reporters and edited, it was sent to the Com- posing Room, where he now took us. This room was filled with odd-looking machines. VVe were told that they were called Linotype Machines and we could see someone operating many of them. XYe went over close to one, and, as we stood behind the operator, our guide told us how these machines work. There is a keyboard as on a typewriter and, as the operator touches each letter, a little metal letter slides down a chute and tits into place. All that goes into the paper has to get into metal form, and all the articles are made into metal on the Linotypes. After this is done, an article, in metal form, is taken to a table where it is fitted into a page. All the adds and headings are turned into metal by hand. There is a man standing beside each page, and these men have to be very clever. If an article is too long, he has to cut out bits of it. If it is too short, he has to lit in little metal spaces. This is done so carefully that the reader cannot tell the difference. When the pages are all ready, beaverboard, which is a hard cardboard, is pressed on top and this leaves the imprint from the page on the beaverboard. The beaverboard is then sent down a chute, and it is bent into a semi-circular position. lYe went downstairs to the bottom of the chute to watch what happened toni FOR THE SCHOOL YE.-XR1953-1954 there. The semi-circular beaverboard is fitted into a form of the same shape, and then molten metal is forced against it. XYhen it all cools. the imprint from the beaverboard is on a piece of metal in a semi-circular form ready to be put on the press. The press, which is very modern, was a Rotary, or round press, and this is why the metal had to be semi-circular. These pieces of metal are fitted onto the press and ink is put in the ink-holders and everything is then ready. XYe went to the room where the press was, to see the newspaper actually printed. XYhen everything was ready, men at various points along the press signaled to the chief operator, as a conductor signals to the engineer of a train. This man then touched a button and the big wheels started to move. Soon the papers started pouring out as fast as 50,000 an hour. I was amazed to hear that the machine cut the paper, and even more amazed to hear that a machine even counted the papers as they come out. They come out and go along a delivery line which takes them to delivery boys and trucks to be delivered to the readers. Our tour was over, and as we walked to the door thanking our guide, we saw a strange-looking object in the corner. Curiosity drove me to ask the guide what it was. He said that it was a very old press and explained how it worked. It seems they used to put the metal on a table, put ink on top of that, and paper on that and press it all together. But this was too slow and nowadays that would be too impractical. So we finally left, but I kept thinking for a long time about my visit. It was very interesting to see how the Daily Newspaper is printed. Tim Peters tForm VJ HOXY TO WASH A DOG Many books have been written on the subject of dog care, but these books give little information fusually a paragraph or twoj concerning the art and science of washing the dog. Therefore I shall now deal with the subject. The first and most important accomplishment is to get hold of the dog. This is easier said than done. The dog just possibly may respond to your call. This, however, is very unlikely. He has probably heard the water running in, and is now hiding in the darkest corner of the attic. Now, I do not know how bad this is to you, but I do know land so does the dogj that the laundry tubs which we wash our dogs in are in the basement. VVell, by the time you haul your dog from the attic to the basement, the water in the tub is ice cold. The thing to do now is to tie the dog to something strong. I knew a man once who owned a Great Dane. He tied the dog to a radiator. The dog's owner is now short one radiator. Now, that we've got the tub full again we simply walk over and undo the leash . . . Oh, no! . . . that leash cost five dollars and look at it, one piece still tied to whatever we tied it to, and the other piece up in the attic tied to the dog. Repeat all the instructions given in paragraphs two and three, this time using a stout chain. l61l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL M:XG.eXZlNE Now, one point is to test the temperature of the water. It is too hot if when you put the dog in, he jumps out and runs to the refrigerator. It is too cold if he jumps out and runs to the stove. It is just right if he jumps out and runs to the attic, again. Repeat all earlier instructions, this time locking the laundry door. Now dump him in tub and rub him with soap. If he howls, do not be upset and use a fragrant bath soap. He would probably howl louder with that. To dry him rub him fairly hard with some old towels. It is nearly im- possible to dry him completely with towels, so let him out in the warm sunshine. Leave him out for a few minutes and then open the door and look at that clean' white, beautiful, fluffy dog. That's funny! There's only one dog out here and he's muddy brown. Oh, no! It's our Fido and be's covered with mud! The best advice I can give you now is to phone the vet. and let him clean the dog! 'l'se this plan only during the summer months. Geoffrey Caherty lI-'orm IVJ THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S SYMPHONY VOXFERTS Dr. XYilfrid Pelletier comes all the way up from New York to conduct the Orchestra for us. The English children hear the Orchestra on Saturday mornings at the Montreal High School, and the French children at Plateau Hall in the after- noons. There were nine hundred of us at the last concert, and it was wonderful. Dr. Pelletier explains the music to us and tells us about the life of each composer before the orchestra plays, and sometimes he has two different in- struments play a duet with the orchestra and we have to guess what the names of the instruments are that play the duet. Once it was very funny, because a man with an electrical typewriter played as guest artist with the orchestra: we all loved that. .-Xt one concert a nine-year-old boy played the violin very well, his name is Michael Schleifer, he played the violin concerto by Antonio Yivaldi. I would like to be a guest artist someday, so I am going to practise hard this year. The last concert was wonderful, the Orchestra played the Magic Flute by Mozart, Symphony No. 83 tThe Henj by Haydn, Prairie Night and Cele- bration Dance from the Ballet Billie the Kid by Aron Copland, and, best of all, Princess Elizabeth March by Eric Coates. How about coming to the concerts next year, boys? It sure is fun!! Donald Steven CForm AJ l62l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR1953-1954 THIRTY-SIX HOURS The huge clock in the square had just finished striking twelve. Had any- one been on the street or looked out their window, they might have seen a short, stout man walking hurriedly toward a low, shabby building. Upon reaching this building, he opened the door, where he was met by another man. He uttered a few words and was shown into a small, dimly lit room. There were a few stools and a desk with an easy chair. Seated in the chair was a tall, rather thin man, who had a scar on his right cheek and was smoking a cigarette. HxYClCOITl8, comrade. he said, You have the papers ? Yes was the reply. Good, then tomorrow we will leave by our special plane. Meet me then at the regular place. XYith that the short man handed the papers to the other and left the room. Two days later the two men were speaking to the dictator of their country. You men have done very well and you will be well rewarded for your work . The men then left the room and the dictator summoned another man. Michel, he said, Start to work immediately on a fleet of atomic submarines, here are the plans, and he handed Michel the papers which the spies had stolen. They were complete in every detail. Michel then left and the dictator sat down and thought of the wonderful victory he would have over his enemies. Seven months later the dictator received a visit from Michel. XYe have finished one and need one more month to finish the rest, he said. Good , replied the dictator, Have your best man test it. Michel left and had a test arranged. It was to take place in a small bay. On the day of the test, the dictator, the two spies, and Michel were the only witnesses besides the operators. The men who were to test the submarine got into it and in a few minutes it sped off. It circled once, and then submerged. It went down slowly, then, all of a sudden, the motors went dead. The dictator ran to the man in charge. XYhat is wrong ? he said. The motors went dead when we got down to twenty feet , said the man in charge. Thirty-six hours later everyone in the submarine was dead because of lack of air. R.

Since its inception in December of 1953, the executive of the Association has mailed out approxi- mately four hundred and fifty letters inviting all Ulcl Boys to become members. Most of the names were collected from the classes of the last twenty years. but -rf' V we are doing our best to collect names of Old Boys i ji- from the years prior to that time. The response to the letters has been favourable, and we feel that we are well on the way towards establishing a successful Old Boys' Association. The matter of an Old Boys' tie was discussed at length and a design was approved at a meeting K,.,,,,,.,h y1M,,,,, of the executive. Through the etTorts of Anson Mcliim, these will soon be available at Howarth's to all paid- up members. I would like to express my thanks for the help and co-operation that I have received from the executive, especially Mr. Speirs, who has been our guiding light and without whom we would have foundered more than once. I would also extend my appreciation to the Secretary. Michael Alexandor. the Treasurer, Brian Markland, and our legal adviser, Ross Clarkson. We regret the loss of two of the original members of the executive in Alan Lindsay and Eric Marler who felt that they could not do justice to the Old Boys' Association due to previous commitments. Finally. I would like to thank the Old Boys themselves. for without their whole-hearted support and interest the Selwyn House Old Boys' Association would not have been possible. Kenneth Matson, President EDITORIAL The minds of most old boys glow with memories of Hunremembered pleasures experienced at the Old School . From the vantage point of retrospect. it seems strange that an Old Boys' Association had not been formed long ago, if only to renew from time to time the bonds of friendship forged at Selwyn House. It remained for two of the younger Old Boys. Kenneth Matson and Michael Alexandor. behind the driving force of Mr. Speirs. to have the honour of setting the wheels in motion. Their original plan was simply an annual re- union dinner but this soon blossomed into the idea of an Old Boys' Association. At the first dinner, attended by some eighty of the more recent old boys, the proposal to set up such an organization was set forth and enthusiastically wel- comed by the gathering. It was also fully endorsed by Mr. justice Miller Hyde, chairman of the Board of Directors of Selwyn House School. Accordingly, the committee that had made arrangements for the dinner was permitted to call itself the tirst executive of the Selwyn House Old Boys' Association. Shortly afterwards, a constitution and by-laws were drafted and in due course adopted- and the Selwyn House Old Boys' Association was un fait accompli. May I express my thanks to the various class secretaries who have gathered information concerning the boys in their particular years. They are:- Kent Newcomb, Charlie Beaubien, Anson Mcliim, Peter Mitchell, -lim Creighton, Mike Alexandor and Tony LeMoine. They cover the period from 1945 until 1953-possibly next year we will be able to reach beyond 10-15 and thus discover more interesting facts concerning the Old Boys and their various activities. Bruce Campbell. I 661 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1953-1954 REUNION DINNER One rainy evening last December-the 22nd, to be exact-boys kept arriving at 3458 Redpath in a seemingly never-ending stream. The School hadn't seen many of their faces since their prize-winning days. It was wonderful to reminisce with former class-mates one hadn't seen for so long. The class, team and scout pictures on the walls of the upper floors received special attention and were a constant source of inspiration for recalling amusing incidents and char- acters stowed away in the subconscious. Some eighty old boys were in attendance for the first reunion dinner- they constituted the majority of the younger set of Old Boys, those who had graduated since 1945. A delicious buffet supper was served by the regular School kitchen staff on a self-service basis. The excess of expenditure over income was absorbed most generously by the School. Ken Matson, chairman of the arrange- ments committee for the dinner, spoke a brief word of welcome to the Old Boys assembled. Klr. Speirs introduced the idea of the Old Boys' Association and later Mr. justice Hyde, as chairman of the Board of Governors of the School, endorsed the proposal for the creation of a Selwyn House Old Boys' Association. The chair- man then asked the floor for any comments concerning the Association. lt was moved and seconded that the committee in charge of the dinner be responsible for drafting a constitution for the Association which would be known as the Selwyn House Old Boys' Association and to take care of any other business arising from the creation of the Association. At the conclusion of the happy dinner, small groups of old-time friends gradually dispersed to other places to stir the fires of reminiscence further. It was a most enjoyable evening for all.
