I am a comparative newcomer to this country. I have been here rather less than three years but I have been fortunate enough to visit each of the Prov- inces. Indeed during 1955 I shall be visiting most for the second or third time. Everywhere I have travelled I have been deeply impressed by the great potential of this country and by the richness of the opportunity that awaits you. Canada is blessed by nature with vast natural resources and great diversity of country- side. You have important and valuable mineral deposits: you have the great granaries of the Prairies: and you have the water power to develop your industry. Great things have been done in recent years. yet the treasure house of the North has barely been glimpsed. But all these gifts of nature would be of small avail if men with character and ability were not there to develop them. I was deeply impressed by my visit to Selwyn House. I sensed a good atmosphere. I felt the difference between education and mere erudition had been clearly understood, and that the boys who go to Selwyn House should feel themselves fortunate indeed. I wish you all the best of luck. ARCHIBALD NYE. Earnsclilfe. Ottawa. Baath uf Guhernurs C ln11'1'n1r1n Imrclnn Nlzwllmigzill, lasq. IIIIIIIFIIIIIIII' Pax! C1111 irnm 71 Hun. XI1'.,Iixs1iu-11.

Howis Glissi Franck-5 H. iiziult I-II etruspect anh Prospect lt is now ten years since the death of Mr. Georfrey XYanstall, the then Headmaster and owner of Selwyn House, and the formation of the Selwyn House Association as a non-profit educational organisation by a group of enthusiastic Old Boys and Parents of the School. The School has been most fortunate in its Board of Governors over the past decade. Vnder the outstanding leadership of the Hon. Mr. justice G. Miller Hyde, itsitirst Chairman, and his successors, Mr. A. R. Gillespie and Mr. Gordon MacDougall, the Boards policy throughout has been to maintain the line tradi- tions built up over the years by Captain Lucas, Mr. Macaulay and Mr. XYanstall. and to improve and expand the facilities of the School. ln this they have been loyally supported by Parents, other Old Boys and friends of Selwyn House. ln 1947 the gymnasium was added, and in 19-19 the 1Yanstall Memorial Library and the Science Laboratory, whilst numerous other improvements in class-rooms and locl-:er-rooms have added considerably to the value of the School and the etiiciency of its operation. And now, as we are about to enter the second decade, the Board have taken important steps to improve our facilities and end the inevitable construc- tion of a small building, by drafting plans for the construction of a combination dining-hall-anditorium, the provision of extra class-room space and of a manual training room, as well as of a Staff Room for the ladies and an apartment for the janitor. These projected additions and alterations to the School plant will help the Statf and students immeasurably in their work, and streamline operations in day by day administration of the School. The keenness and generosity of Parents, Old Boys and other friends of Selwyn House in supporting this important development. are eloquent testimony of their active interest in the continuing welfare ot the School. But the physical advantages of a school are only means to an end-the end of better education of our future citizens-and any school must stand or fall by the quality of its output. It has been a proud tradition of Selwyn House that its academic stanclards are high and its scholarship results outstanding. lt has been our constant care jealously to guaicl these standards dining the past decade, and some twenty-two major scholarships have been won by our senior boys since 1045. lt is true that we have lost several Staff members who rendered long and meritorious service to the School-Mr. G R. -lacltson, Assistant Headmaster. retired in 1040, Miss Afra Snead, Headmistress ot the junior School, retired in 1050, and Mr. B. K. T. Howis, Senior Master, retired in 1051+and no account of the past ten years would be complete without a tribute to their worlc. But our present Staff goes forward imbued with the same academic aspirations as were so notable a possession of the past. And now, as the Selwyn House Association begins its second decade of service, it has alongside of it the new-fledged Old Boys' Association, which will, we are sure. play an increasingly vital role in the best interests of the School. All in all. we can look back to the past with a deep sense of gratitude and forward to the future with a quiet confidence and assurance. l5l .qi-45.1 i., ,, 4. .:- 'N 11 f ..l:.,, fl ,z','I,.

All activities have prosperedein sports we retained the Carsley Cup and the Timmins Trophy, in Scouts our representative troop in the central district competition carried off the highest honours. and at the time of going to press Francisco Cardona has distinguished himself in the academic field by winning an entrance scholarship to Phillips Academy. Exeter. New Hampshire. Dramatics and Debating continue to Hourish. The Old Boys' Association has consolidated its organisation under Kenneth KIatson's leadership. This year we have welcomed back to Selwyn House Klr. Fred Tees, an Old Boy of the School. who as a member of the Staff has been responsible for some middle-school English and Latin and for junior team soccer and hockey and as an Old Boy has taken over the editorship of the Old Boys' Association Bulletins. As stop-press news comes exciting word of structural changes and addi- tions to the School. YYith a new dining-hall, two new classrooms tone of which will be for manual trainingj and a number of other alterations. the improvement to the present premises next year will be IHOSI considerable. and we are all looking forward tremendously to the advantages which the extra accommodation will afford us. Our thanks are due to General Sir Archibald Nye for writing the inspiring Foreword to this magazine. and to all others who have contributed time and talent to its production. l9l SELWYN HOVSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE bpeakers in past years, ive should like to express our appreciation of the kindness of a number of distinguished Old Boys and Yisitors who have addressed the boys of the School at Assembly or other functions since last year's magazine went to press.

Stuart Rousseau, Eric Russel, Blair Thom, Philip FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR195-L-1955 School jliutes THE LIBRARY XYhen the Easter holidays were over in 1954, the Library was privileged to have a unique experience in being allowed to exhibit the original drawings made by Mrs. Jacqueline Berrill to illustrate her book entitled XYonders of the XYoodland Animals . The pictures were drawn with a pointed knife on 'Scratch Board' lcardboard covered with plaster and then inkedl. The boys not only admired the lovely drawings, but were absorbed in puzzling out the unusual method used. We were grateful to Mrs. Berrill for allowing us to enjoy these drawings. Birds interested us deeply during May. 195-1. Mr. Howes arranged a loan of feathered specimens from the Redpath Museum, and the talks on the Cardinal, the XYood Duck. and the Cedar lYaxwing were inspiring. Michael Berrill. at the same time, most appropriately exhibited a beauti- ful little spruce tree which he had brought from Maine. It was about a foot high and its branches held tiny little carved and coloured wooden birds, perching here and there. John Chamard surprised us with a small cypress tree. It was over two feet high, and about its base was a small pond in which a turtle disported itself. This, with Michael's spruce. and the birds from McGill. brought the country right into the Library. In spite of our interest in the birds we were diverted by a collection of coins provided by Michael Guite. There were examples from Africa, Asia, and Europe. also from South America. We were specially intrigued with a coin from Pakistan, and a huge George III penny of 1813. Michael Berrill lent us a geological collection with corresponding notes. This was an outstanding exhibit, and was studied well and frequently. Guite's collection of coins inspired others, and Richard l'dd's group of bank bills was unusual. There was a large Roumanian bill for 10.000 lei which attracted attention. There were other European bllls of interest. but the Amer- ican bill with a portrait of Jefferson on it, for two dollars, was a rarity. Timothy Coristine showed some Angola postage stamps which were very interesting, as well as a group of European coins and bills. Carlo de Rege exhibited a small Spanish bill for only one peseta. also a Korean bank note of today. Neither had been seen before in the Library. Rene Des Marais, jeremy Pearce and John Beament showed us coins and bills from France, Germany, Italy and Malaya. September brought us plunder from the sea. Kerry Martin interested us first with a collection of razor-blade clam shells, which we have not had before, also some very small glapers as well as a large one. An original idea of Kerry's was to collect a few pieces of coloured glass which had been worn smooth as marbles by the action of the waves after many years. Martin's exhibit was quickly followed by an excellent group of cockle shells from the Gulf of Mexico, lent by Nicholas Kairis. They were graded from l13l SELWYN HOVSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE two inch to half an inch shells, and were perfect in form. Aleco Kairis lent some interesting examples from Florida, specially a good whelk. Richard Hunt brought a very large, dark scallop shell, lovely in color, from a Maine beach. Peter Russel's collection of beautiful cockle shells drew much attention. Some of them were as small and delicate as jewels. Yytis Iiaestli and Howard Sherback both brought shells of interest. Stephen Paquet showed us a sea horse with a tiny baby sea horse, in which we were most interested. john Edd, now in his first year at McGill, presented the Library with very fine specimens of shells from his own collection. These we were glad to have. During the last week of September Michael Berrill brought us a model of a 'Fish House'. It was a copy made by him of the work-house used by the fisher- men on the coast of Maine. The model itself, fourteen inches long by five inches wide, contained all the implements and objects necessary in the work of the fishermen and their activities. Everything was modelled according to scale. A dory, ready to leave for the sea, was tied to the Fish House, while another was upside down and drying out. A roller for drying the nets was nearby, with nets on it. There was a 'Hoist' for bringing up the nets full of hsh. There were black and white buoys to show the position of oyster traps. All the many tools of the hsherman were there, and even reserves of many of them. Near the Fish House were models of a seal, a porpoise and a whale-all made by Michael. XYe were allowed to keep the model for two weeks, and, when it had to be removed, Michael left, in its place, a lovely sea fan and other specimens of coral. A fitting end to our Sea Exhibit. During the first week in October an exhibition of coins and stamps was opened. Stephen Parker was the first contributor with an outstanding collection: four early Victorian stamps were particularly noted. We were interested to see that the hair style in the Queens portrait resembled the 'pony switch' of today. A George III penny of 1797 was also of great interest, as were the silver, copper coins and stamps of Elizabeth II's coronation. Stephen also showed stamps of European countries, as well as of India and Egypt. This was a most compre- hensive exhibit. Bill Hambly's collection of bank notes attracted much attention and the coins in his group were interesting, more especially those of France during the German Occupation. .-X bill which he showed from the Island of Martinique was a rare one in the Library. So many other coins in his collection were of interest, but lack of space prevents a description of them. Maxi Ferro showed bank notes from Italy. Poland and Greece. The por- trait of Sophocles on a ten lire note was beautifully engraved. There was also a striking design on a Polish note of 1030 and a good design on a note from Greece. George Thomson lent a Russian gold coin of tifteen roubles QS-20.00l with a portrait on it of the last fzar of Russia, Nicholas ll. lt was dated 1897. He also lent gold coins of the l'nited States. l14l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1954-1955 John Le Moine contributed gold too. He showed California gold in eight coins, minted during the gold rush of 1848. He had two .American gold coins of a later date also. The Library was greatly privileged to have these. Alex Grant showed a japanese note for 100 yen. This we have not had before in the library. Michael Guite lent some rare coins. Amongst them there was a silver coin from japan: a penny and also a stamp from Eire. David llurfin contributed a collection of stamps showing the rebuilding of various countries in Europe after the war. Geoffrey Gaherty interested us specially in his group of coins from Ice- land, as we rarely see them in the Library. Harry Bloomfield showed Israel money and stamps which were a novel sight here. He had an ancient coin which aroused much interest. It had been found in Palestine, now Israel, and had on it an inscription of Herod Agrippa the First, A.D. 37-44. There were also two other coins, of the Roman period appar- ently, in his exhibit. Allan Zinman added a token showing the seven-branched Candlestick. Ditlief Knudsen lent the library an American Internal Revenue Special Tax Stamp lor Tobacco. dated 1873. It was certainly the largest stamp ever exhibited here. It measured 1-1 by 7 inches. This was most interesting. A group of sport stamps was shown by William Hesler, and also an ex- cellent set ol hlty-hve portrait stamps depicting distinguished men in many different countries. This exhibit was much appreciated. Christopher Hyde made a very interesting contribution to the Stamps and Coins Exhibition by lending four Canadian silver dollars dated from 1939 to 1953. These are now quite scarce. Richard Cdd lent the Library a collection of valuable stamps which included samples, not only from many countries of Europe, but even from Russia. There were other exhibits which gave much pleasure contributed by Rodney Smith, Lawrence Gainsbury, Patrick Doheny. Eric Rousseau, Miles Tyrer, Christopher Coristine and Robert Bruce. During the month of january 1955, an Exhibition of Weapons was held. Remarkably interesting examples were contributed by members of the Library. There were dreadful-looking knives, swords and daggers from japan, China, India, Africa, Italy, Germany, Scotland and North America. Stephen Parker lent a most terrifying object, a Hara-Kiri sword in a beautiful ivory sheath. The sharp, heavy sword was slightly curved, while the sheath was all too explicitly engraved, depicting as it did a member of the Japan- ese nobility committing suicide. Stephen Parker also contributed a Scotch dirk, an item which is carried conveniently in the stocking. A sharp knife in a bamboo sheath was exhibited by john Harding. It came from China, and was the object of much curiosity. Murdoch Laing lent a small curved dagger from India. It had a beauti- fully enamelled handle and looked almost Persian. l15l SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Carlo de Rege showed a Moorish dagger from North Africa. It looked delicate but deadly. Germany was represented by three horribly business-like straight daggers. The one lent by Harry Bloomfield was captured from a Nazi Storm Trooper. Stephen Paquet's dagger dated from Germany in 1938. lt had a handsome ivory handle and a long straight blade. Robert Hallett let us show a copy of a Nazi knife. Timothy Gilbert's 'kukri' knife from lndia was one of the most important of the exhibits. lt was even more terrible than the daggers. A primitive leather sheath protected it: its wide blade was heavy and long. lt was slightly curved and was a weapon used in peace time for domestic purposes as well as in time of war for hand-to-hand lighting. David Bogert lent a fine example of an NYIII century pistol. The brass work on it was especially admired. lt was the only pistol in the exhibit. North America in 1812 was brought to mind by a large bullet found on the battlefield of Queenston Heights. This was lent by Roger Bellingham. :X cavalry sword made in Montreal at H357 St. Paul St. tengraved on the handled probably dated from the time of Queen Yictoria. Stephen Parker exhibited this, while Robert Aikman showed a handsome dress sword of the Slvanish-:Xmerican period. Roger Bellingham supplied a fencing foil and mask, which, with the kind gift of Professor Nobbs of his book on Fencing Tactics, gave a fitting introduction to the art of hghting. Guns were lent by Peter Russel and Timothy foristine. The former exhibited a 12 guage shot gun of 1861 and a breech-loading rifle ol 1862, while the latter lent a XYinchester repeating rifle. The guns were an invitation to markmanship and after queues had been formed and curiosity satisfied, the guns were removed for safe-keeping. Much interest was taken in the bullet pouch lent by Robert Aikman. lt apparently dated from the early part ol the NIN century and. to add to the interest, it was full ol bullets. Peter Nobbs let us show a model of a cannon, such as was used in the Tudor period. lt was well modelled in brass and mounted on a wooden carriage. liric Rousseau contributed a large shell of an explosive used in the last war. The 'Weapon Exhibit' was tittingly brought to a close by the loan of Stephen Parker's very tine lndian Peace Pipe. lt had belonged to an lndian Vhief in the XYest of Canada and was decorated with the original bead fringe. The l.ibrary had some extra exhibits which were of interest to all. They ranged from moths to elephant tusks. Peter Terroux lent two Field Signal Corps telephones of 1914. These found a place with our military exhibition. Paul St. Pierre lent three beautifully marked butterflies, and Peter Russel lent twelve specimens of moths, with a book describing their varieties. Donald Steven added a deceased frog, its natural colour somewhat marred. l16l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 105-L-1955 Philip ivebster contributed a piece of iron ore and a specimen of bauxite. Peter Martin also lent a geological sample. Lawlor XYalcem let us show the skin of a baby chipmunk which he had prepared himself. and which attracted much attention and admiration from everyone. Tony Stikeman contribtlted a skein of raw silk which was carefully in- spected by many. David Murlin exhibited a 'Piper Cub' aeroplane model made by himself, and very well done. Colin Moseley allowed us to show a book of the early XVIII century which has been in his family for many years. lt was called A History of the World and was by M. Chevreau. lt was translated fiom the French and printed in England in 1703. This was a valuable loan. A model of the Kon-Tiki raft was exhibited by john I-Isdaile. lt measured 11 by 513 inches. lt was perfect in detail and greatly admired. Eric Garland surprised us with two handsome ducks, but they did not stay here very long, as leathers were being plucked out to see il they were real or 'just pretending' ducks. Howard Sherbaclc lent a model of Columbus' ship the 'Santa Mariah A very unusual loan was made by Eric Rousseau. lt was part of an ele- phant tusk. M e were not sorry it was only eleven inches of what IULISI have been a formidable tusk. lt was so much enjoyed it was almost worn OLII. David Brown interested us all with a bee's nest and two honeycombs. Allan Zinman presented a robin's nest. The Library was fortunate this year in receiving many welcome gifts of books. Professor Percy Xobbs presented two of his works, Fencing Tactics and Salmon Tactics with kind autographed messages. He also gave the Library an illustrated description of The Great and the Small , containing the wonders of the Universe in comparison. This was conveniently framed. It is clearly lettered by Mr. Brietzche and will be studied with great interest. The National Geographic Magazine, given by the Fifth Form, is being much enjoyed, as is also th: junior Natural History Magazine donated by Gordon Peters.

Alec Miller gave an interesting new book called The Day Lincoln was Shot . Mr. Speirs donated The March of Democracy by james Truslow Adams. lt is a valuable history of the I'nited States, now out of print and difficult to obtain. Mr. Speirs also presented the 'Tomplete works of Robert Burns with his Life , which is most welcome in the Library. Some books of note acquired during the year are :- The Oxford junior lincyclopediau vol. xii: The Ascent of Everest by john Hunt: the Junior edition of the same: the Encyclopedia of Pictorial Knowledge in ten volumes: the International XYho's XYho : Fell's International Coin Book . Virculation of books amounted to 3,665 for the year ending March 31, 1055-an increase of about 30 2 over the previous year. Circulating Science books numbered 267: History 182: Nature 143: Geography 130: Biography 100. The remainder of the circulation was in Fiction, Younger Books and 'Things To IJo'. There was a marked increase in the circulation of picture books in Form D. Books catalogued to date number 3,652. DAY. . THE CHOIRS fhoir prizes last year were won by Bobby Aikman in the Senior Choir and by Tommy Gray in the Intermediate. Aikman sang Linden Lea by R. Vaughan XYilliams, and Gray XYhere'er You XYalk by Handel. Both boys are to be congratulated for their success against very keen competition. XYe were greatly indebted to Mrs. Tester. who very kindly judged the finals for us. At the Prizegiving on june Oth a choir of 36 voices picked from the Seniors and Intermediates gave its best performance yet in a two-part arrangement of L'All Through the Night, followed by XYhere'er You M'alk . This year the Senior, Intermediate and junior choirs reached their largest mernbersliip, and the Intermediate Fhoir in particular with -12 voices showed outstanding improvement. At the Christmas entertainment each choir sang a group of carols and among the large group of excellent soloists the following were adjudged the best and were awarded extra points for their houses: Aikman I, Barry, Steven, Smith, Tyrer, Manthorp and Roulson. A considerable number of new hymns has been learned since last Sep- tember, and the Choir now has a large repertoire lor all the seasons of the year. l his has provided a very welcome variety at the Morning Assembly.

FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR loft-+l'+lQ5S Qcahemic rigegihing lbll xi., 19541 The annual academic prizegiving was held in the Nloyse Hall of Nlcflill University on the evening of XYednesday, -lune Oth, 1954. The Hon. Klr justice G, Miller Hyde, Chairman of the Board of Governors occupied the chair and in- troduced the Guest of Honour, Lieutenant-General Sir Archibald Nye, G.C.S.I.. G.C.I.li., K.C.B., li.B.li., LL.l3., Vnited Kingdom High Commissioner to Canada. In his address Sir Archibald reminded his youthful hearers of the many blessings and opportunit.es which were theirs by inheritanc: and by geography. From his vast experience and knowledge of India and the far East he painted a grim picture of poverty, superstition and general backwardness in that part of the world, urging upon all not only a profound sense of gratitude for all the bene- fits of western civilization, but also an informed sense of obligation and respons- ibility to help those less fortunate than themselves. He cited Queen lilizabeth as an outstanding example of selfless service to others. Top prize winners were Tim Peters and Rodney Tait, who received the Lucas Nledal and the bleflirey Russel Award respectively, and Charles Chalfey and Lee XYatchorn, winners of the Silver and Bronze Kledals presented by the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Quebec for outstanding distinction in academic subjects in the senior and junior school respectively.

It had twelve members: Bill Hambly, President: Francisco Cardona, Vice- President: Michael Lofft, Secretary: Teddy Coumantaros. Treasurer: Roger Bellingham, David Bogert, Geolifrey Gaherty, John Hutcheson. Colin Moseley, Robert Osler, Ian Robertson and Lawlor XYakem. The club met every two weeks on Friday afternoon or evening. There were formal debates. short speeches, hat nights, one-minute speeches and quizzes. XYe had a great variety of formal debates including That S.H.S. should go co- educational and That New Year's resolutions are worse than useless. There were also current event debates such as That the Seaway will be harmful to Montreal and That XYestern Germany should be re-armed. XYe all had a most enjoyable time and we must not forget to thank Mr, Speirs for the work that he did in assuring the success ofthe club. PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST The Public Speaking Contest, an annual feature of school life, took place last March. The finals were held at school assembly. Dr. J. M. Paton was the judge. Finalists and their subjects were: Robert Osler: Dr. Albert Schweitzer's Mission in Africa. Colin Moseley: The Fight Against Yellow Fever. Bill Hambly: The Mission Alamo. Michael LoFft: Sir VYilfrid Laurier. john Chamard: The Kemano-Kittimat Power Development. Francisco Cardona: Galileo's Discoveries. Michael Lofft was adjudged the winner. with Colin Moseley second and Bill Hambly third. john Hutcheson was chairman. HOUSE DEBATING This year the House Debating got under way very well, the subjects were unpleasantly hard, and well chosen by Mr. Speirs, and of course the com- petition was very keen. There were two representatives from each House, and all members of the Kappa Club. Mr. Tees and Mrs. Howis very kindly spared us some of their time to act as judges for the preliminaries and finals respectively. The representatives from each House were: Michael Lolft and Lawlor XYakem from Lucas House: Bill Hambly and Colin Moseley from Macaulay: Robert Osler and David Bogert from Wanstall: and Teddy Coumantaros and Francisco Cardona from Speirs House. ln the preliminaries, Lucas House, upholding the affirmative of the motion that Formosa should be handed over to Communist China defeated Speirs House, and lYanstall House defeated Macaulay House upholding the negative li-'Tl SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE of the motion that radio and television are more educational in their content than newspapers and current magazines . .-Xnd in the finals, Lucas House defeated Wanstall House, upholding the negative that Vanada should join the l'nited States , a very touchy subject. And Speirs came third, upholding the motion that Winter sports are preferable to Summer sports . Thus, Lucas came first, XYanstall second, Speirs third and Macaulay last. CH R ISTMAS EXTliR'l'AlXM I-INT Familiar carols and four playlets featured the School's annual Christmas Entertainment on Tuesday, December 21st, 1954. Mr. Phillips, as usual, had trained all three choirs admirably and the soloists excelled themselves. The junior fhoir sang Silent Night , We Three Kings of Orient Are and the First Nowelluq the Intermediate Choir rendered Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly, See :Xmid the XYinter Snow, and Shepherds in the Fields Abidingu: whilst the Senior Choirs offering consisted of The Little Road to Bethlehem, The Seven joys of Mary, and Rejoice and Be Merry in Songs and in Mirth. The junior School Play, 'Thristmas Magic , was a delightful fantasy, played with a seeming unselfconsciousness and obvious pleasure that refiected great credit upon Mrs. Tester, who produced it with such skill. Geoffrey Fisher, as Santas elf, and Christopher Roulson, as his helper, performed their roles to perfection and the dolls frolicked around with easy naturalness-David McNeill as the golliwog, Billy Evans as the Teddy Bear, jonathan Birks as jack-in-a-Box. .-Xleco Kairis made an attractive Chinese, and Murdoch Laing a very martial and resplendent general. Miles Tyrer as Angela and Murray Leiter as the baby doll were admirably cast for their roles, whilst Gordon MacDougall made the perfect Santa flaus and Peter Hutchins his personal attendant. All the per- formers spoke their lines clearly and forcefully, and the bright and original cos- tumes added greatly to the colourfulness of the fine presentation. Le Petit Monsieur, under the able direction of Madame Gyger, made a real hit with the audience. Of the Prime does not pay variety, it presented four tough crooks-pleasantly diversified and played with great gusto by john Fieldhouse, Michael Berrill, Peter Schaal and john Stikeman-and their chief- une femme fatale''-well-acted by Nicolas Kairis. Alex Miller was the impassive chief of police to perfection and Pandy Embiricos the sauve, if forgetful, waiter. john McGillis as the American girl drew a cheerful chuckle from the appreciative audience. and her English boy-friend, Brien Gillespie, proved quite the gallant romantic. Wilfried Boehler and Yictor Mills looked quite the part as vigilant police and rounded off a good caste. Tom Sawyer and his friends in modern garb came to life with a vivid twang and slang that Mark Twain would have appreciated with a hearty chuckle. john Chamard as Tom played the reluctant worker and the boyish schemer l23l , 3.- FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 105-LWIOSS with great resourcefulness, and Robert Aikman as Aunt Polly was admirably cast. Patrick Phillips as the impish little Judy brought down the house, and Tours companions-from the amiable Sid, played by Michael Barry, to the fence-painting suckers Daniel -layitch, Peter Yodstrcil, David Phillips and Richard Hunt-proved vivid and individual boyish types of surprising con- trasts. lNlr. Moodey, as rnoderniser ol' Mark Twain and as producer, is to be congratulated on the splendid success ol his labours. The senior presentation was a one-act drama ol late eighteenth century Ireland, entitled The Sweeps of Ninety-liightu, by john Nlaseheld. The main role of the domineering, buniptious Anglo-lrish justice of the peace was played by Bill Hambly, his callous boon-companions by Michael l.oHt and Colin Mose- ley-comprising the Trinity of judas in the eyes of the defeated rebel, played with line sincerity by Teddy Coumantaros. Geohfrey Gaherty made a most effective hostess: David Bogert filled the part of Captain with authority, whilst Roger Bellingham, Francisco Cardona and Robert Osler, as English soldiers, captured the pseudo-rebels with a ready roughness of action and tongue that belitted their roles. Behind the scenes Mrs. Howis was her indefatigable self with the make-up magic, ably assisted by Mrs. Tester. Mr. Kloodey had all the tricky details of stage management under iron control, and Lawlor XYakem at the curtains and lan Robertson as manager of the senior play carried out their duties with cheerful efticiency. 0 vs 'J fi?

There is also a good supply of boys in each House. In Lucas House we have Bob Aikman, who is in the choir and a prominent scout: jamie Henwood, who seems to be the class supply house for pens, etc.: Richard Hunt, the youngest and top student of the class, who regrettably had to leave just before Summer term: Ditlef linudsen, who was on the soccer and hockey teams: and Stephen Parker, who is frequently absent but whose attendance is much appreciated. In Macaulay House are Robert folby, who is one of the better athletes: Alex Grant, who is a new but quiet addition to our class: Glen McIntosh who is an excellent hockey player: and David Phillips, who is one of the better workers as well as being a prominent scout and a member of the choir. XYanstall House boasts such people as David Barry a quiet but efficient worker: Brian Dodd, who is the wit of the form: Robin Gilbert, who, like Parker, is frequently absent but a good, steady worker: Robert Hallett, who is a very good worker and a good bet for first place: and Peter Yodstrcil, who is a patrol leader in scouts and a member of the choir. And in Speirs House are johnny fhamard, a whiz in History and Geog- raphy: Peter Gordon, who was on the soccer and hockey teams: Nicky LeMoine, who is an all round athlete: and George Thomson, who is one of our first-class skiers. Many thanks should be given Mr. Moodey, our form master, for putting up with us this past year. R.H.A. FORM III Form III, twenty-one strong, are mostly veterans of the junior School. Our ranks suffered some losses before the survivors arrived in Form III, but our number has been kept up by new recruits. This year we were joined by: Javitch, from France, one of our best scholars: Hutcheson, from England and Murfin from Argentina, experts in basketball and good in all sports. Michael Barry, whose Irish humour lightens the days, has a personality so attractive that even cold germs fiock around him. He is one of our star actors. Mark Boundy, sometimes known as Marcus Aurelius. sits at the back of the class, and misses nothing of what goes on. Chris Coristine is an enthusiastic player on the under-twelve Hockey Team. Billy lfakin and Donny Doyle, keen skiers, are both on school Hockey teams and the Gym Squad. Doyle has still time left over from these activities to participate in the Scout troop. Maxi Ferro, another Scout, is our linguist and a serious contender for hrst place in the class. Chris Hyde somehow manages to keep both the nets for Lucas House and a top position in the class. Peter jackson is a quiet and hardworking member of the class. Todd La Fontaine is our fish expert, out of school hours, of course. l 34 I FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1954-1955 Dicky Leach is another of our many athletes on the under thirteen Hockey Team. Kerry Martin, who laughs easily and frequently, keeps us lightly amused, This sometimes gets him into trouble with authorities who for some weird reason. do not always appreciate his jokes. Peter Nobbs is our traveller. livery day he travels twice thirty miles to and from the School. Anyone who is good in arithmetic will realize that this means the distance of several times around the Equator during his school career. but this large amount of travelling does not take up all his time, as he manages to do his school work and qualify for the Gym Squad. Patrick Phillips, actor, sportsman and a good student took part in the Christmas plays, he is on the under twelve hockey team, and is leading Cub in the Senior pack. Brian Saunderson and Michael Stanger are another pair of athletes. Both play on the under thirteen hockey team, are on the Gym Squad, and belong to the Scout troop. Peter Terroux is also a Scout, and, although he has had the writing of this contribution to the magazine on his mind, has not let it affect his appetite. CIN'lr. Moodey will confirm thisl. Allan Wakefield, last but not least, is on the Gym Squad and belongs to the Scouts. Mr. Davies is our Form Master this year and suffers us all with good humour at all times. FORM IIA This year, Form IIA is one of the smallest classes in the school-a dozen boys-and as such, they are an excellent group to work with. They work well, hard, and with good spirit. There exists a keen competitive spirit among the top members of this class: and for that matter, there is this same academic rivalry even among the bottom few. I-Ierewith are a few comments on the individuals who make up IIA. CSHAFARDET: Our South American commuter who this year managed to enjoy a two-month Christmas holiday. A hne soccer and basketball player. lf all the year were playing holidays. To sport would be as tedious as to work. FIELDHOUSE: john is not only one of the top students in IIA, but he is an excellent athlete as well, There's honesty. Hlt1lZl100d, and good fellowship in thee. GILLESPIE: Occupant of seat one, row one: possessor of a good sense of humour, a quiet chuckle, and a quick, ready mind. The merry twinkle of his eyes foretells his disposition. HENXVOODZ Robbie is always ready for a prank, though he is occasionally the butt of the joke. He is one of IIA's better soccer and hockey players. Full ofjest and youthful jollityf' l 35 I SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE HESLER: Bill is one of the quiet, conscientious citizens of IIA, and he is the usual lender of pens and pencils to those who daily manage to forget them. He that lends, gives. KH.-ws: jack is another willing worker, and he is a keen participant in all school activities. So quiet, umzoticed might he be. I.nIXIovN1i: Has a wide range of interests, a lively natural curiosity, and a talent for losing assignments. No man can lose what he never had. AlCf,iII.I.ISZ One of IIA's best athletes, often a point winner for his House, but on occasion a loser in mental arithmetic. A ready grin and a 'wimzing way. hlII.I.IiRZ Alec is the top student in the class, but Peters and Fieldhouse offer him stiff competition. I-Ie is also outstanding in hockey, soccer, and skiing. Yet 'with all this, a graceful modextyf' NlI1.I.s: The last seat in the last row is a line spot for daydreaming, but it's not too often that Yictor can be caught napping. Sharp as a tack and bright as a penny. PIQT1-ins: Gordie is one of the top three in the class. He thrives on work, but he still has time for numerous House activities. Il'hose little body lodged a mighty mind. 'l'IiRv.xzos: Terry is normally a quiet-spoken individual, except when two subjects are being discussed-sports and milk-then lt'S fm not arguing 'with you, l'm telling you. fir FORM IIB We still occupy the same classroom, but this year we are older seniors, and we hope, wiser. XYe had a happy and quite active year with studies and sports. Bt-rrill, limbiricos and Moore maintain a friendly rivalry and contribute a stimulating influence over some of their class-mates. Kairis, with the happy disposition, and KIessieurs Stikeman and linudsen are very sound workers near the top of the honour list. Schaal and Newman, calm and collected in all situations, are hard working students. Bonnycastle. a new boy, has settled down very happily. He has made himself popular and is one of the brighter students. De Rege, of the gentle voice, is less shy and more accustomed to his milieu . Baxter, with the happy disposition, never lacks a subject to talk about. Stoll- meyer, who comes from a sunny climate, is always smiling and takes life calmly. -Iohnstone can be heard quite often, whenever there is something funny being told. There is quite often some gadget in Smith's pocket-how pitiful he looks when his treasure is taken away from him! Thom, unfortunately, broke his leg while skiing, last term: but. even with his crutches, he arrives every morning with a smile. Our nice tall and handsome gentlemen are Aikman and Nickson. They both graduated to the Scouts, as did also Colby, Lucas and Schaal. Boehler is a happy boy who has quite a knack for spoken languages. l36l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR195-1-1953 E L EGY W FORM 1 RITTEN IX A CLASSROOM AT THE END OF .Apologies to Gray. The school bell rings the ending of the year, The roaring mob charge headlong down the stairs, Lee XYatchorn leads, Though told to lead the way, I-Ie has forgot: The window needs repairs. Now fade the cheerful rascals from the school, The boys have gone with all the speed they can, Except that Campbell tidies up his books, And Gilbert does corrections for Madame. Cheerfully Greenwood, the mighty sage doth Ross we have oft seen at the peep of dawn Brushing with careful strokes cobwebs away, So he could do his work and not be wrong. say, There at the end of yonder blackened board Beside the window-old, fantastic, small,- Thomas reclined, and over Latin poured: XYhile others babbled, he ignored it all. Here sat the head upon the neck of one XYho bore the name of Prager. One of girth, A youth to fame and fortune yet unknown, But brains were issued well upon his birth. The mufiled call of Bastian, Bruce, or Hunt, Or :XlllI'l:ll'1, twitt'ring from his well-carved desk, Steven's shrill clarion, or Stewart's echoing grunt, Shall no more lure the masters from their rest. Upon the rink a group of boys do play. Paquet doth heave a ball at Desmarais. And Dolman tells a joke to Gregory, And all the rest have travelled far away. Perhaps quite far away in someone's home, A frantic mother orders to her dear, Kaestli, will you please put away that RIouse ' Or, Shaughnessy, don't play with snakes in here ' I-'ull many a Hower was born to blush unseen, Like Fowler, and Bloomfield, working hard in peace, Rawlings was such, and so was Coristine, All merry cubs and active without cease! And now, may we no more seek to disclose, Or seek to draw the frailties of this class. Now they will spend their time in games, repose, And next year have forgot Amo Amas. TH E YEAR F.I. l37l Sl-ILWYN HOFSIC SCI-IOOI. IXIAG.-XZINE FORM :X Those discordant sounds bursting from the open doors of Form A class- room, between lessons, come lrom the persons and property ol twenty-hye normal, healthy young gentlemen. .-X full orchestra, perhaps you thinkl The Conductor, standing outside the door, and preparing to enter, will listen to the English horns, Evans, Tyrer, Pearce and Roulson, arguing with the equally strident French horns: Rousseau, ably assisted by Saint-Pierre and Fisher. Do you hear the bassoons? Ciertainly that must be Johnston or Steinberg adding notes in a different key. The flute-like trebles come undoubtedly from Kairis-or is it Birks? And there are Ballantyne and Hutchins impatiently waiting for a moment when they can draw their fingers across the strings of a harp and add their dulcet notes to the more raucous dissonance. Is Master Stike- man idle? By no means! His part calls for extreme dexterity, and not one second of that precious break between lessons does he lose. He is the percussion section. Let him drop a book. or better two books: slam a drawer: clash rulers with La Fontaine: roll pencils down the desk: or even shout! Anything to add body and force to this discordant modern symphony. That insistent whispering, rising and falling, but never resting, comes from the violin and viola section: Manthorp and I'sher-jones, Maxwell and Russel, with the keen ear of Eric Garland as Concert-Master. If, for a moment, there is a pause, it is only while the Scottish contingent of McNeill, Laing, Campbell, Mcl,ernon and lXlacDougall, polish up their lips to get the utmost from their bagpipes. XYhat a wild, barbaric rhythm they add to this most hectic music! Time for the Conductor to mount the podium, and with three sharp taps of Stikeman's ruler, in lieu of baton, quell the chaotic sounds and restore order. Then the balance and purity of the young instruments combine together to create a beauty like that of a fugue or tone poem, But at the end of thirty-five minutes of most careful and concentrated performance the instruments are ready, again, to burst into their wild, ecstatic expressions of freedom. IX'l'l-IRLI'Dli IN FORM B1 Form B1 was noted for the way in which the boys remained so quiet between classes. One day, and I am sure it was the only occasion during the year, they became a little talkative between periods. The situation was so unique that I decided to record it for the school magazine. XYho comes in next ? began Michael Bassadone. Sir, it's the last lesson , volunteered Bruce Fowler. XYhich sir ? asked XYilliam Dupont. It's History, shouted john Angus upon returning to his desk after a quick glance at the timetable. Oh, said XYilliam, I wonder if sir will ask questions ? I was away last week. How did the cavemen get fires to cook their meat on H queried Tommy Birks. He used matches, said john LeMoine with a merry chuckle in his voice. You're wrong, shouted Michael Shaughnessy mirthfully, he used a lighter. Sir said so. l38l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 195-L-1955 George Hebert could not stand the Ievity any longer. so he said, You fellows are CI'Z1Zj'. Sir said lightning. There was a slight pause then, because Allan Zinman thought that he had heard someone coming, VVhen no one arrived, the discussion began anew. XVhy was this Helen of Troy so important ? asked Ian Taylor. Oh, she was a great ship-builder , volunteered Ian's neighbour Andrew Vodstrcil. That's right, chorused Duncan McMartin, Sir said her face launched a thousand ships. That's dumb. A thousand ships would make an awful mess of a person's face, said Tony Stikeman thoughtfully. Quiet, whispered David Brown, Here comes Sir! FORM B11 A is for apple, B is for ball. Also for BRYDOX, who is growing quite tall. C is for class, D is for door. E is for education, F is for four.

The scouts as well as the cubs are doing very well in their test and badge work. But this is not the only standard of achievement. They are all playing the game as our founder, Lord Baden Powell, intended it to be played,-and enjoying it. l.ast Nlay the troop and packs went by bus to Rigaud Mountain, hiked across it, and returned hot and tired, but happy. at the end of the day. Many passed their fire lighting and cooking tests, and all enjoyed the wild game. lfor our annual Fall hike this year, we went hy bus to Lac Guindon. Vl'e hiked from there to St. Sauveur, where we met the bus to return to the city. Lunch was cooked by the scouts and senior cubs, while sandwiches were de- molished by the junior cubs, at the edge of a beautiful lake. The trail finally brought us to the top of the St. Sauveur ski slopes, where we engaged in a wild game of indians and settlers. During Scout Wieck, a scout and cub assembly was held, at which Com- modore Paul liarl, C'.B.li., Nl.l..A., was our guest speaker.

On occasion our numbers have been depleted by detentions, extra work, and school sports activities, but nevertheless we have carried on a very successful lYolf fub year. The Pack sold Boy Scout Association calendars during the month of November. The proceeds from these sales has been used to help bring a Guate- malan Boy Scout to the 1955 XYorld Jamboree. in Fanada. Hockey games were played on the school rink when the weather per- mitted during the XYinter Term. This has been a notable year for the earning of Proficiency Badges by the members of the Pack. Fifteen Badges have been earned. The proud wearers of these Badges are: H. Baxter. Nl. Berrill, R. Dolman, li. Flmbiricos and P. Phillips. The year has been a very active and profitable one. Hunting has been good, and the trail very interesting.

Now McNeill, KlacDougall, Steinberg, Ballantyne, Hutchins, Johnston, Tyrer, Zinman, and l'sher jones have their Hhrst eye open , as we say. Competition between the sixes is very keen, and which will win this year is anyone's guess. The Red, Blue, Brown, and XYhite sixes seem to have had a slight lead on the others most of the time.

The eleven year olds of Selwyn House and Sedbergh with three twelve year olds permitted on each team had an enjoyable game amongst very pleasant surroundings at Montebello. The weather was decidedly cool for Cricket but we were fortunate to have a dry day aft :r a long period of rain. Selwyn House won the toss and put Se-dbergh in to bat. Bogert took a wicket with his second ball and continued to bowl very accurately throughout the innings, his final analysis being 6 wickets for -I runs, including the hat trick. Pedoe bowl.-d steadily from the other end, and against keen fielding and a field well placed by Tim Peters, who captained our team. runs were very hard to obtain on the wet wicket, Sedbergh being all out for 13 runs. Gilbert 1 and Gordon opened the innings for Selwyn House and batted very confidently, in refreshing contrast to our somewhat paralytic display of the previous year. They set the tone for the batsmen who followed. and it was encouraging to sec them all attempt scoring strokes and run well bgtween wickets. Henwood l hit hard for 15, the highest score of the day, and a very praiscworthy effort under the prevailing conditions. Our score finally reached 40, Sedbergh's total having been passed for the loss of 2 wickets. XXX' were greatly indebted to llr. and Mrs. Bogert, Nlr. and Mrs. Doyle, Nlrs.

I 501 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR195-1-1955 SOCCER nose This year we had an Under 15 Yr. team rather than an Under 14 one as in the past few years. This however placed us in competition with the same players we played against last year as an Under 14 team, yet we had lost several of last year's better players. XVe had several very good and very close games, and good team play prevailed throughout. The teamwork steadily improved as the season pro- gressed due largely to the increase in the number of practices over previous years. XVith two house games and two team practices per week we got in a lot of soccer in spite of the rather wet weather. UNDER 15 TEAM GAME St'HEl'lJLE Sept. 24 vs XY.5l.H.S.

XYe won both games with Ashbury, and won one and tied a very hard-fought game with L.C.C. The first game with Sedhergh was more exciting than the scare might indicate and they pulled an upset tie on us in a thrilling r:turn match. Every boy on the team played to the bzst of his ability. which improved immeasurably throughout the season. Everyone learned a little more about co-operating with others, being fair, being encduraging rather than critical. Everyone developed a little more self-control and self-reliance, a little more self-assurance, self-discipline, and responsibility.

YXDER 13 HOFKEY TEAM The l'nder 13 team with its players drawn mainly from the other school sides had virtually no opportunity to practice together as a team. As we did not have the players to offset this disadvantage, we were considerably handicapped in the three matches that we played. The team never developed the combination or the team spirit that were features of the unbeaten Under 13 Soccer side the previous term. Some of the players did not improve as much as had been hoped for from the year before, partly because of their preoccupation with skiing. While we held the stiff opposition in check for two periods, we each time fell apart badly in the third. One would like to have seen more fight and determina- tion shown on these occasions. The following played for the team :-Henwood I tC,'apt.l, Gordon CYice- Capt.l, Leach tgoall, Saunderson, Doyle.

Their triumph was achieved by their winning almost all the major competitions. leaving few honours to be shared by their rivals. Macaulay House led in XYork, Football, Hockey, Basketball. Softball, Track and Boxing competitions, and won the Other Activities section of the General Activities competition. Lucas House won the Swimming and Ski meets, and had the best record in the C'hoir. XYanstall House won the liricket and Discipline contests, and secured the trophy for the General Activities competition. Speirs House, in a most unfortunate year, were able to secure only the Dramatic, Literary and Debating competition, and that for Scouts and fubs.

With cricket, softball, track and boxing still to be decided, and the competi- tions in work and general activities still open, it is possible for any house to displace the leader, but Macaulay's margin is great enough, especially in view of the comfortable leads in both work and general activities, for such a result to be unlikely. On the other hand, the race for second place is so close that any of the three remaining houses may win it. COMBINED SCORE .-XT START OF SVMMER TERM, 1055.

After I got my horse, I started to mount. Someone tapped me on the shoulder. He was tall and lanky. dressed like a cowboy. He suggested I try putting a saddle on, like everybody else. I thanked him and placed a saddle on the horse's back. I hopped up and made a beautiful arc over the back of the horse and landed in the dirt on the other side. The lanky fellow quoted some Shakespeare: som.-thing about vaulting ambition o'erleaping itself. He offered me a hand up. I accepted, mumbling something about having hurt myself in a rodeo yesterday. I shouted, 'Giddupf' The horse moved about three feet and then stopped dead. The lanky fellow suggested that I untie the horse from the hitching post. I did this and started again. He started to follow me. I told hitn that I did not need his help. He reminded me of the three earlier incidents. I reluctantly let him come. As we moved along the trail. I started to list to starboard. I yelled, 'IYh0a!' I tumbled into the underbrush, saddle and all, as the horse halted. My companion told me that the saddle might stay better if I fastened it. I mumbled my thanks and did as I was instructed by him. As I started to mount, he offered his help. I thanked him no . I hopefully jumped up and landed backwards in the saddle. The horse took off down the trail. My companion leaped onto his horse and followed. After we had gone a mile or so on the roughest trail in the whole of fanada, he caught up and stopped my horse. He told me that I should have taken the horse that the man had chosen for me. I dismounted and then mounted his horse the way he told me. Riding on my mount he led us back to the 'dude' ranch. That night I ate my dinner standing up at the mantlepiece with other new riders. In the morning I went to the riding school and toik my lessons. As I was leaving the ranch. after my stay was up, I asked who ny companion of the tirst day was.

Caherty tlform YJ THE I-'IGI-IT AGAINST YELLOW FEVER In the tropical countries, in the time of one hundred years ago, yellow fever was one of the most dreaded diseases. folumbus lost many of his men to yellow fever. The Panama fanal project had to be stopped because a lot of the men had contacted yellow fever. Time went on, while the disease took no notice of its victims, and up till sixty years ago no cure had been found. i60l IUIX IH! 'Nf Hllfbl.

The surgeon general of the American Army appointed some doctors under Major XYalter Reed. One was Varroll, another was Lazear. They began at once to experiment, and they determined to find the cause of yellow fever. They had just started to experiment when a bit of gossip reached their ears. It seemed that a man named Dr. Farlos Finlay was saying that yellow fever was caught by the bite of a mosquito. Klost people laughed at Dr. Finlay. Mosquitoes do not catch yellow fever, they said, so how can they give it to people, The three doctors determined to find out if this was true. Several extremely brave soldiers volunteered to sleep in a filthy, humid hut far away from civiliza- tion. All their clothes and bedclothes had been constantly used by victims of the yellow fever. In another hut, another group of soldiers slept, but in a different way than the other group. Everything they touched, their bedclothes, the hut, were kept in sterile cleanliness. After they had been kept this way for a long enough time so that there was no possibility that they could have caught the fever by chance, a curious little gauze cage was brought to the hut. It contained Dr. Findlay's silver striped mosquitoes, the kind he said caused yellow fever. They were let loose. In a few minutes the men had been bitten around the eyes, ears, and face. Sure enough, in a few days, the men in the sterile hut had the symptoms of yellow fever. Their temperatures soared, their eyes got bloodshot. their skins got parched and yellow, and they had cases of vomiting. The men who slept in the hut, using the clothes of the victims, were none the worse for their experience. This to a great extent proved Dr. Finlay's theory. Dr. Lazear still would not believe it. however. You haven't proved it yet, Reed, he said. XVe aren't sure. One day as Lazear was going around the wards attending to the sick, he heard a buzzing around his ears. It was a silver striped mosquito, and it had landed on his wrist. He recognized it as Dr. Finlay's mosquito. He could have brushed it off, but he didn't. He thought that if the mosquito bit him and he caught the yellow fever, it would be a good test. That was on the 13th of Sep- temer. On the 18th his temperature shot up. his skin got parched and a sickly shade of yellow, and his eyes were bloodshot. In twelve Clays he died. The com- bined knowledge and skill of all these doctors could not save him. Dr. jesse XV. Lazear was a martyr. At last they were sure. At last the poor, ridiculed Dr. Finlay had been proven correct. After extensive research it was found that these 'Stegomyia' mosquitoes left their eggs in water to breed. It was indeed fortunate that stately Mrs. Stego- myia would not settle fora mud puddle to lay her eggs, she had to have clean pan water. If a glass of water was put aside, Mrs. Stegomyia would come, quite unnoticed and despoit her eggs in it. l'nconsciously, people were bathing in and washing in mosquito eggs every day. The only way to stop yellow fever was to stop the mosquito from breed- ing, and the only way to do this was to cover all standing water. After very many trials and tribulations this was accomplished. l62l FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1954-1055 Dr. Reed wrote the following letter to his wife: Rejoice with me. I could, shout for joy. Old Dr. Finlay will be delighted beyond bounds. I thank God who has allowed me to look a little way into his secrets. Maj. XYalter Reed, Dr. james Carroll, Dr. jesse Lazear, Dr. Aristides Agramonte and Dr. KYilliam Gorgas had at last wiped out nearly all dread of this formerly dreaded disease. C. Moseley llform YJ 'MY FAYOVR ITE AN I XIAL' IYell, well, what a probleml I must choose between my two greatest animal friends: Ikillie XYag-Tail and Adolf. lliillie is city bred. He lives in London, the capital of the world in size and grandeur. In a flat at 55 Portland Place is a little basket just his size with a downy pillow. Xkillie is my sister's pet. He is a very beautiful cocker spaniel with light brown fur and long, long ears, and he is always clean and shiny. Besides two meals of special dog food every day, Xl'illie always gets tidbits from his masters. At meal-times he is always at the foot of the table looking john in the eyes beseechingly as if he were saying It is hard to smell the food without tasting it. His manners are quite good except when he forgets himself and then he always understands his mistake. XYillie is so wily! When I come to the Hat he fusses a great deal, jumping up on me and licking me all over. Then he sits down by the lire to watch television with me, his head cocked on one side taking great interest. Vyhen I take Willie for a walk in Hyde Park everyone admires him for which I feel terribly proud. XYhen I take him off the lead he dashes off to chase pigeons but as he is unable to catch them he pretends to be bored with them and starts lighting his fellow dogs. If his enemy is too big I go to XYillie's rescue and he is very relieved. I love XYillie because, as you see, he is cuddly, clever, sweet and kind and because he feels this and shows he loves me too. XYe are true friends. Now we come to my other animal friend, Adolf the grey donkey. I am not very fond of his name since it reminds me of cruelty, but I am very fond of his personality. Adolf lives in a village in my native island and belongs to the baker. This man does not care for Adolf who is thin, dirty, and overworked. Twice a day Adolf carries the heavy bags of flour from his master's house to the fournos lovenl a long way off. He has no holiday, no comfort. His home is a small held enclosed by a plain stone wall and his food is the dry grass and thorns. VVhenever I can afford it, I buy him sugar and pitoura tground wheat husksb. Adolf knows me and whenever I come to his gate he calls a welcome and comes at a run. In sunshine, rain and snow, there is Adolf in his held across the road from our house, because his masters cannot afford a stable. I feel very sorry for Adolf who never complains. Poor Adolf with his kind, gentle, big eyes and soft nuzzle. On Sundays we ride to the sea for a swim or to the villages in the moun- tains where the grass is green and the water cool. Sometimes we race along the mountain paths with others and Adolf always tries to win because he knows it pleases me, I am very proud of him because he never refuses to do my bidding like other donkeys however tired he may be. Now comes the moment I have to decide between the two. It is hard because I love them both. but I chose Adolf. I feel my love for Adolf is needed more than my love for XYillie who has a home and people to pet and spoil him: l65l SIIZLWYN HOVSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE therefore he does not value my friendship as much as Adolf for whom I am the rnly frien'l anfl cvmpani Jn. By being a good friend to Adolf I am doing a good deed for which I am I'6lJ.!l.fl by his thankfulness.

The best known of these men are: Sir XYinston C'hnrchill, Lord Montgomery and Lord Alexander. Although so famous, in my nvind, these men aren't so great as my hero, Dr. Albert Schweitzer.

XX hile still a very small boy, .Albert inherited the love of music from his grand father. At nine years of age, Schweitzer took the place of organist at church services at Gtnshach. In 1885 he started school at Alsace, and, after strict educaticn, he entcred Strasbourg Lniversity, where he took up the subjects of philosopiy and theology. ln 1808, he won a f60 scholarship to Sorbonne in Paris. In 1005. hs ltfcame a great authority on organ music by Bach. Later in the same year, Schweitzer resolved to become a jungle doctor in Iouatarial Africa. After this, he studied medicine and received his doctor's degree. At the same time at this college, he studied the lives of jesus and St. Paul and wrote nzany hooks about their conquests.

Slowly the rain began drumming a rhythmic pattern on the supposedly metal roof of the chilly, damp barracks. Blake Morton rose wearily from the stecl cot which the Nazis supplied us P.O.XY.'s with, and trudged slowly over to one of the cracked windows overlooking the compound, The ground's sure a mess, black , rose the words from Blake's silhouette by the window. It is certainly going to be good and dark out there in the com- pound in less than half an hour, he drawled, continuing to stare out of the now steamed-up window. XYe'll wait until ten before we move a toenaill O.K., O.K., you don't have to turn on mel I'm sorry, I feel jumpy. You have the wire cutters ? I asked, attempting to change the subject. Blake swung around and nodded, patting his leather jacket-pocket. Let's run through our plan again for safekeepingf' he whispered, sitting down beside me on my cot. I glanced out the window into the storm and gathering twilight. It is a lucky break that this area of Germany receives so much rain during the four seasons. All the Fuehrer's concentration camps' buildings are raised approximately three feet off the ground on wooden stilts. Our escape plan centred around this basic fact. Blake's husky voice broke the silence. l65l SI-ILWYN HOVSI-I SCHOOL INIAGAZINI-I .Xt ten o'clock we go through the lioor where the four loose Hoor-boards are, which we pried up.

XXX: squat and wait till the guard passes, travelling in the direction from which we just came. Vount to ten slowly and wait till the searchlight swings past, then we should have about thirty seconds to sprint to the little shrubbery growing along the barbed-wire fence enclosing the concentration camp. XYe should just be able to make it. XYe flatten out in the bushes and I cut the two bottom strands. There is no moon, which is a feather in our caps, but actually the ground is so soggy that we are just as badly oli'. He didn't say any more, so I realized he had finished speaking. My voice sounded so weak when I answered him that it startled me. As I lay on my cot, I retiected on how fate had so fortunately brought us together. I had been captured in a skirmish in occupied France in the early days of 1040 and had been shipped off to a German concentration camp with a few other unfortunate souls from my battalion, which had experienced a fearful mauling at the hands of the Germans. Our battalion had been severely shot up and scattered, many brave men of both Allies and Axis lay dying on the battle- field, and very few of our men escaped with their lives. Very few of those men were heroes, yet all were heroes in their own triumphant way, and there is no doubt in my mind that all, good or bad, will find a place in Paradise awaiting them, as they all fought exceptionally well in the face of overwhelming odds. I had been quite lucky in escaping with but a slight head-wound. However, many times during the first few months of my tortuous captivity Iwish-ed that I had died in that stupendous battle. After four months of excruciating agony I was hustled miles by truck to another camp where I experienced a slight rise from my primitive existence. This is where I met Blake. Blake and I were at- tracted to each other immediately and struck up a close friendship. He was sort of a big brother to me. He had been raised on a cattle ranch in Texas and had been living in Britain for nearly live years when the second world war began. Elake had taken a course in aviation back in the I'nited States upon leaving college and, wishing to contribute his share to the defence of the world, he joined the R.,X.lf. on the outbreak of the war. He had flown gunner on a new type of bomber prior to his imprisonment but, as fate holds no preference, he was forced down behind the lines in the immediate vicinity of this camp. Blake is now 31, weighs 185 pounds, and stands 6 feet ZM inches tall. .-Xn amazing feature about this agile creature is the way he has maintained his Texan drawl while living amongst the English for over five years. .-Xt 0:15 our German guard poked his large head through the door and, looking very surprised, yelled in broken English: Ah, vhats dis heh, you nots :-ltlecpinli like good shlittle childin ? He then marched stiliiy into the barracks and proceeded to pace up and down the corridor at the foot of our beds, dripping puddles of water all over the tioor. Suddenly he came to a halt by the door and with a breath heavy with garlic said in a guttural voice, Lights hout, swine! He then made some ugly grimaces at us, made us give him the German salute: whereupon he clicked his heels and stamped out very red in the face. Although some of my companions had a good chuckle over his plight, I never discovered any apparent reason for his red face and, being occupied with more important matters, never bothered to ask. .Xt five minutes to ten I signalled Blake and together we cautiously arose from our crcaking cots. Blake took up a position at one of the windows with the best vantage points, to guard against any possible trouble which might have unexpectedly interrupted our plans. One of my comrades opened his eyes and lfvfll PURTHIISCHUUI,YI-QXI 194 IJ :N f' fw SPI-QIRS IIHISI P1 XYAXS'I'. XI.I. Hu N171 SELWYN HOVSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE gaped at me in wide-eyed amazement as I was carefully removing the Hoor- lmoards. Ile started to say something and I quickly put an index linger to my lips. Having lived in a concentration camp for some time. he immediately realized our need for secrecy as the Nazis sometimes placed a spy in different barracks if they thought they might profit by it. One could never be sure of this, and that was th f foremost reason why we hadn't discussed our plan wil h anyone, avoiding one other possible path of detection to a greater extent. Exactly at ten o'clock Blake Nlorton and I, Bill Rawlings, went through the tioor and crawled rapidly to the building's edge. f'areful of that searchlightf' I warned in a hushed and quavering voice. The gttard trudged wearily past half asleep while we held our breath in deadly peril for our lives, then I slowly counted to ten to allow the guard to clear the end of the building. Tensely we waited for what seemed eternity, but finally the searchlight swung past. Blake touched my arm and I came up OH my hands and knees. Let's travel! I wheezed, but it was unnecessary, for Blake had already left the protective shelter of the building. The mud slowed us down considerably, more than we had bargained on, and we didn't quite reach the fence in time. Blake hit the fence low and the bottom wire parted under the impact of his body, ripping his heavy jacket to threads and tearing his chest slightly, enough however to bring blood. The glare of the huge searchlight picked me out as I dove into the shrubbery, heart thumping wildly. Had they noticed me? Someone yelled something in German which was drowned out by the deafening high-pitched whine of a siren. Myriads of lights lit up the camp like a fhristmas tree and many more were trained on the fence. Men wallowed around the muddy cotnpound in mass confusion, and I think that alone saved our skins. The second wire parted and Blake cried desperately: Watch that fence, they've charged it! He was under the barbed wire when he warned me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw two machine guns swinging to bear and a cold sweat broke ottt on my brow as I saw the jets of orange Hame streaking front the barrels. Klud and water were being kicked up and spewed all arotmd me as I rolled under the fence. A bullet struck a rock a few inches from my face as I lay prone on the ground and ricocheted with a humming sound. I clambered to my feet and dodged towards the woods which parallel the con- centration camp on that side. A vicious pain tore into my left side and I gritted my teeth and vainly attempted to ward off the nauseous feeling which gripped my body like a vics. I began to topple forward when I felt two strong arms grasp me under my armpits and drag me the few remaining yards to the border of the woods. Blake picl-'ed me up and threw me over his shoulder as though I were a sack of potatoes. which was exactly the way I felt, and struggled ol? into the interior of the woods with me draped aross his powerful shoulders. In the distance I could hear the erratic tiring of rifles and machine-guns as I drifted off into a complete state of ttnconsciousness muttering, It's no useilet me go, let me go .... I awoke to a bright golden sttn staring me directly in the face. A steady dull ache made me lie prostrate on the ground. :Xu acute pain pierced my side when I tried to push myself up on one elbow, forcing me to lie back gasping for air. Blake came over and gave me a drink of cold ice-water. How do you feel, soldier ? he asked with great understanding and feeling which only Blake Morton could muster. I grinned weakly at ltitn. You caught it mighty bad, fellow, he continued: but I patched you up to the best of my ability. l6Sl FOR THE SCHOOL YI-LXR 105-I-1955 Later in the morning, when I was becoming a little stronger, I managed to pry out of him where he thought we were and how we had gotten there, and he told me the best he could. It seems he had managed to half drag and half carry me through the woods and, upon reaching a secluded farmhouse, had politely borrowed a horse and wagon without permission. He then proceeded to put a good number of kilometers between us and our pursuers. Finally the wagon became badly mired, so he turned the horse loose and again took to the forests. He had continued to move under the stars until the approaching dawn when he had made me a crude bed of pine needles and then bedded down by a tiny rill which circled a hillock. For ten or eleven days we wandered amongst the countryside in this manner, stealing most of our food and following the roads, but keeping clear of all villages, etc. The bulk of the work rested on poor Blake, as I was running a high fever and was delirious most of the time. Finally. starved, exhausted, and our spirits thoroughly demoralized, we staggered up to a farmhouse with the intention of giving ourselves up and hoping deep in our crippled hearts that the inhabitants wouldn't turn us over to the German Gestapo. If they did we realized it would be the end, but in the state we were in we pretended that we didn't care what they did to us. To our complete astonishment the inhabitants were French. I told them our story as I could speak French to a fair extent, and I greatly amused them with my English accent. They listened to our tale with much sympathy, which they expressed by flowery French phrases. They informed us that we were in a sort of neutral territory which l1adn't been awarded to either side, although it became known as the Yichy territory not long after. They told us that they had a friend in the French Lnderground, and they offered to get in touch with him for us. I told them we would be deeply indebted to them if they would do us that service. So, after four days in which they nursed us like tiny youngsters, we were back in friendly hands again in London. XYe had been under the strain of a horrible ordeal and the pressure on our poor twisted minds had been so intense that it nearly succeeded in driving us both insane. However, after close to a year of fabulous trials, hardships and experiences, Blake and I are convalescing in a veteran's hospital in Kent, England. XVe are both well on the road to recovery and I believe that we intend to go back to the war unless it stops before we are completely better. If I do go back to the war I certainly will keep my fingers crossed that I won't have to execute another Inge-nious Escape.

Suddenly, out of the clouds came five Stalenkov 110's of the Soviet Air Force. These were met by Five long blasts of the C'anuck's dealterizing guns and down went four of them. One turned and fled and this is where things went wrong for the CF. 100, because there was a secret gun in tail of the Soviet plane, which shot at the pursuing CF. 100 and brought it down. Two white blossoms opened out over the sea as the two fliers parachuted to safety. As they hit the water, a small life raft inflated and the parachutes detached themselves. After the two men had just set down, the sky darkened and the waves grew larger and a storm arose. I69l SI-ILWYN IIOVSIQ SCHOOL MAGAZINE The men buttoned down a covering over their craft to keep the water out ol it, and they did what they Could to protect themselves from the tossing sea and the rain around them. They had warm weatherproof flying cloth.-s which kept out the water and the spray, but they found it hard to keep from tipping over. In their equipment was a little rubber bag which converted salt water into fresh water. They drank this water and ate food pills. Then they raised up a balloon with an antenna attached to it, so that they could send for help by wireless, which they did. Suddenly a large way 1- flung itself at the boat and pushed it under. As they reached the surface, a large sleek shadow dashed before them and quickly turned back. It was a shark. One of the men drew a knife and plunged it into the shark's throat. just in time, or they would have been eaten alive. A flash of lightning unveiled a thick red scum of blood around the shark's dead body. All of a sudden they heard a deafening crash of thunder and saw a blinding flash of lightning, which lit up the vast desert of water around them, also lighting up the gaunt figure of a Soviet Naval Kl.T.Ci. boat, so that they feared it was the end. A stream of tracer bullets shot forth, and a pop and a hiss told them they were hit. The NI.T.t'. aimed its gun and an explosion added to the noise of the storm. The men raised their heads and saw a thin oil scum on the water as a sub. surfac:d and the NI.T.C'. went down. The airmen realized their message had gone through. One more second and the sub. would have been too late. The two airmen clambered on board the sub. with the aid of a sailor, whom they recognized as a German coastal submarine patrol-sailor.

Her partner was Rick Bracy, famed Secret Service man for the FBI, who had been assigned to guard the Professor until the ship docked at New York.

However, after consultation. it was decided to open the reunion to all old boys of the school and to broach the idea of forming an Old Boys' Association. This idea was enthusiastically received, and a Board of Directors was formed. During the past year, the Board has directed its efforts towards contacting as many of the Old Boys as possible, with the result that the membership now stands at just over one hundred. It is the intention of the Board to keep the Old Boys in contact with the school through bulletins and through the school magazine. There has been much discussion on the advisability of instituting life memberships and a scholarship fund. However. it was the Board's opinion that such matters should wait a few years until the Association has had time to con- solidate itself. At present most of the Directors' energies are being spent in recruiting new members. It is here that the present members of the Association are of great value. By spreading the word around and interesting other old boys, new members will be attracted and the association will flourish. l think that the association has been a great success so far, and in a few years will be a great help to Selwyn House. At this point I would like to extend my appreciation to my fellow directors for their assistance during the past year. Kenneth Matson, President THE OLD BOYS' BAXQUET On Thursday, December 23, 1954, the Old Boys' .Association held its second annual banquet. Despite frightful weather almost eighty old boys turned out to the old school to meet friends not seen for a long time, and to eat a good meal. Those that were there were predominantly younger old boys, who did not yet have children to keep them close to home so near to Christmas. However there was also a good sprinkling of older people, ranging back through most of the Schools history. Upon arrival, everyone had the opportunity to go all through the school. looking at old photographs, looking into the classrooms, and reminiscing about the great events that had happened in times gone by. Many people who had not seen the school for some years were impressed by the new facilities in the locker rooms, and the laboratory. Others were content to gather together in groups and catch up with the news of their friends. l75l 'il-'IXYYXH11lS.F-,51111111l.K1.11,.1A1X1-, 11-11 1-1'1-1'11111,- 11.111 :1sw1-1111111- 1, 4111 11'1l11llL'11 111111 1111- 111111, 11'111-1'1- 11'1- 2111 X1A11'l' 111Ill11'l', 111.-11 11'1-r1- Sl I1-11' l'L'Il1LlI'1il4 111 11111' 11r1-si111-111, 1i1'll K1:11s1111. 111111 1111-11 Ulll' 11111-51 11'.lH 11111-1111111-Q11 111' Klr.

It was held in the School on XYednesday, April 27. At 5.30 P.M. a rather small group congregated in the library, where coffee and sandwiches had been sent up for our enjoyment. The meeting was called to order by President Ken Matson. Michael Alexandor was appointed as secretary for the meeting. Brian Markland then presented his treasurer's report for 1954. In this, he noted that as of December 31, there were 99 paid up members of the Association, He also pointed out that due to the considerable success that we have had, we have now paid off the debt to the school that we have been carrying since the Association was founded. It was decided that the next annual meeting would probably be combined with the next annual dinner, and probably will be held some time around Easter. This will avoid the conflict of having the Old Boys' Dinner quite so close to Christmas, which is a festive season even without our dinner. Membership in the Association was next brought up, and was the source of considerable discussion. Various ways were thought of for obtaining more members: however, it was felt that an effort would have to be made by all Old Boys to try to let their friends know about the Association, and to try to spread the good news. It was also felt that we must make every effort to keep our mem- bership informed about the goings on of the Association, and of the School, XYe are hoping to send out more bulletins telling of the important fixtures of the school year. The following .Jld Boys were unanimously elected to the Board: Kenneth Matson, Ross Clarkson, Andre Tetrault, Michael Alexandor, Brian Markland, james Creighton, Anson Mcliim, Peter Mitchell, E. I'sher-jones. Mr. Fred Tees was appointed Editor of the Old Boys' News. Mr. Gordon MacDougall, Chairman of the School's Board of Governors and its representative on the Old Boy's Directorate, spoke briefly in praise of the Association's progress. Hopefully looking forward to a good year, the meeting then adjourned. TO JOIN THE OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION Most of the Old Boys who receive this magazine will already be members of the Association. However, in case this should fall into the hands of any Old Boy who has not yet joined, all you have to do is to send S300 to the Selwyn House Old Boys' Association, put it in an envelope, and mail it to the School at 3458 Redpath St., Montreal.
