FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1956-1957 29 FORM IV The year is l980. A class reunion of the l956-57 Form IV of Selwyn House School has been arranged by Jimmy Aikman, who succeeded Mr. Speirs as headmaster upon his retirement. The first three members of the class to arrive are Dr. Hamilton Baxter, Dr. John Stikeman and Dr. David Thom, three prominent surgeons of the Montreal Neurological Institute. Right after them come Professor Michael Berrill, famous McGill Zoologist, and Air Commodore Robert Henwood, one of Canada's most daring test pilots. Wilfred Boehler and Peter Schaal, two Canadians of German extraction, join the party, along with Rodney Smith. These three have all had successful engineering careers. They are followed by two men whose native land was Greece, namely Nicolas Kairis and Epaminondas Embiricos, who are both marine engineers. Not far behind is Bill Hesler, who has recently become general manager of the Royal Bank of Canada. Hesler arrives with friend Jack Keays, who has specialized in electrical engineering. Having a friendly argument as they enter are Trygve Knudsen, QC., a lawyer, and the Hon. Gaetano Vicinelli, who has used his amiability and charm in the diplomatic service. Dr. John McGillis and Dr. David Stollmeyer, who have made their mark in the medical profession, are with them. The last three arrivals are Alexander Miller, president and owner of the Miller Mills, a large pulp and paper firm, John Nickson, the chief forestry engineer for that company, and Gordon Peters, C.A., who has been working on their books. Naturally the talk turns to their days at the old school. Henwood is in a corner telling iokes, as he always did, and he has his usual audience of McGillis, Stikeman, Thom and Vicinelli, who are still active in sports. Berrill, Schaal and Kairis are talking about Scouting, in which they were prominent years ago. Boehler and Embiricos are again back together, which is a familiar sight to all their old classmates. Hesler, Knudsen and Stollmeyer are having a iovial time as they always used to have. Smith and Keays are deep in conversation, and Keays can be seen to be his quiet self of years gone by. Baxter and Peters, who have grown to be six foot three inches, are chatting together. They are nearly as tall as Aikman and Nickson, who were the two tallest boys in school in their last two years, and who are talking with Miller. Soon the evening is over. We have discussed different topics and we have decided upon two things. The first is that although Miller, Kairis and Embiricos headed the class in school, all of us have made a success of life. The second is that we certainly have been indebted to Mr. Moodey, our class master, and to all our other teachers for the wonderful foundation they have given us. G.P. FORM III The present Form lll is made up of twenty pure-souled, high-minded boys , all but two of whom were there last year. The two newcomers, Barrie Brock and Ricky Herzer, have settled down well in their new surroundings. Competition for first place is very keen. Such boys as Lee Watchorn and Timmy Stewart are always attempting to establish a substantial lead over everybody else, but they very seldom succeed-the rest of us see to that! Of course, we have our athletic representatives, like Michael Bastian, who skates as fast as lightning, if not faster, and Timothy Gilbert, also renowned as a player of ice-hockey and other games.
