FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR T955-1956 I5 Academic Prize Giving CJUNE, 19555 The annual academic prizegiving of the school was held in the Moyse Hall of McGill University on the evening ot Wednesday, June 8th. The chairman of the Board of Governors, Mr. Gordon MacDougall, presided over the proceedings, and the special choir, under the direction of Mr. Phillips, delighted the capacity audience of parents and friends with their rendition of Barbara Allen and The Ash Grove. ln his review of the school life over the past ten years as headmaster, Mr. Speirs commented specially upon academic successes and triumphs of sports- manship, paying tribute to the loyalty of a devoted Staff and the fine calibre and character of the Student body, as well as the enthusiastic support of Old Boys and parents and the foresight and iudgement of the Board of Governors. One of the deepest satisfactions of the decade, he added, stemmed from something as indefinable as it was vital - a good School Spirit. How does this show itself in the everyday life of Selwyn House , he asked. Surely in the victory that knows no boasting, and the defeat that lacks any alibi, in the taking of iust punishment without whining, and in accepting the unlucky breaks of life with good humour and quiet courage, surely in realising that true happiness comes from a worth-while job well done, that there is more satisfaction in helping others than in merely pushing ourselves forward, that the team is greater than the individual, and that the good name of the school is dependent in unique degree upon the good conscience of all its members, surely in learning that we must obey before we can command, that our own petty desires are subordinate to the rights of others, and above all that privilege is the handmaid of duty and responsibility and that from those, to whom much has been given, much will also be required. These things, however blurred the vision and however faltering the steps, we strive to reach after in the day-by-day disciplines of the class-room and the playing-field - from the opening exercises of the morning when as a school family we begin the day with God, to the last shout in the playground after work and play are once more over. Guest of Honour at the Prizegiving Exercises was Dr. Wilder Penfield, O,M., C.M.G., F.l2.S., who addressed the school prior to presenting the prizes. Speaking particularly to the graduating class, Dr. Penfield declared that recent years have been critical ones for the senior students. What is it you believe Selwyn House should have given you? For my part I believe the thing may be summed up under three headings. The first is sometimes called education. But schools do not give a boy an education nor Universities either. They only start him off, teach him how to read and study. They can only prepare him for education. He who leaves school with a love for learning may, with the passage of time, make himself into an educated man. He can do this whether he passes on to college or goes to work. l should hesitate to call any man educated who stopped learning when he turned his back on his teachers, however many degrees he may have earned. But he who learns to love learning has found, in his school, the best food, the strongest meat for the mind. Secondly , Dr. Penfield continued, the school can teach a boy to strive to excel. The Greek word Athlon meant prize, the athlos contest. And Pindar, the Greek poet, defined athlete simply as one uwho delights in the toil and the cost . You may be an athlete of the body and of the mind as well. You should strive to be both.
