6'-Q LT? 311 ? ,ML gf 5 X Q-N JAJ5411 ,N-lg X ,fa ,H ... 5, f g T ffiw XX I Editorial This school year marks the fittieth anniversary ot Selwyn House School. That flat state- ment encompasses fifty years during which a highly-trained teaching staft has succeeded remarkably well in preparing boys to become responsible citizens in a complex and difficult world. I speak for the whole graduating form when I offer heartfelt thanks to a very patient and wonderful staff tor their fine work in instructing us so well to take our place in all walks of lite. We have been happy to enioy the excellent work done by our new teachers, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Rutley and Madame Salathe. Without stealing the spotlight from other sections of this magazine, it is only fitting to mention the successful seasons enjoyed by the soccer and hockey teams, and the fine year passed by the scouts and cubs. The list is long, and, as you can see, people and events have filled a whole school magazine. However, the competent work of our new librarian, Miss Pick, cannot be overlooked. It is natural, and perhaps excusable, loyalty that prompts me to say that I think this graduating class is one ot the best and I hope that its members will go on in lite to reward the skill with which their teachers have instructed them. However, the reflected glory of a high standard is no excuse for succeeding senior forms to sit idly by. Thus it is our sincere hope that each ot the subsequent senior classes will equal, if not surpass, our own record by their diligence and spirit.

FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1957-1958 II Academic Prizegiving IJUNE, 'l957l The Annual Academic Prizegiving of the School was held in the Moyse Hall of McGill University on the evening of Wednesday, June l2th. Mr. Gordon MacDougall, chairman of the Board of Governors, presided and the special choir under the direction of Mr, Phillips, rendered the Lords Prayer and ln Derry Vale most acceptably. In his Headmasters Report Mr. Speirs paid tribute to the large array of scholarship winners and to the staff for the notable academic distinctions of the year. He bade a reluctant farewell to Madame Gyger, Mr. Howes and Mr. Cooke, expressing the school's thanks for their splendid services and best wishes for the future. In closing, Mr. Speirs voiced his gratitude to a vigorous and energetic Board of Governors, and especially its chairman, Mr. MacDougall, now concluding a three-year spell of leadership, and added: We are a closely knit family in Selwyn House. Many of you parents and governors are Old Boys of the School or closely related to Old Boys, and all of us share common ideals and dreams and ambitions for our children. We are all bound together in a common enterprise to lay a sound and solid foundation for their future, and in a day when the ancient ramparts of the human spirit- its loyalties and its faith-are being undermined by insidious forces of disintegration from within and assaulted by a crude and savage materialism from without, and a cacophony of voices is clamouring for possession of man's soul, now more than ever do we need to think of those profound simplicities that were a rock beneath the feet of Paul of Tarsus-the things of life that are iust and pure, true and honest, lovely and of good report. These above all we wish for our children-our age ignores them at its peril, for without them education is mere vanity, and turns to dust and ashes in our hands. Guest of Honour at the prizegiving exercises was Senator the Honourable A. Knatch- bull'Hugessen, QC. In his speech to the boys, he urged each one to start a library of good books that would become lasting friends and bring countless hours of pleasure in the years ahead. The prizes I won at Eton, he said, have been a constant source of knowledge to me, and I still read them with unmixed delight. The following was the prize list for the academic year: - Form Dl lst David Galt 2nd lan Dobell Form D2 lst Clive Munro 2nd John Tatlow Form C lst Henry Joseph 2nd Mark Fawcett Form B lst Richard Dobell 2nd Barrie Birks FormA lst Kip Cobbett 2nd Andrew Vodstrcil Form IA lst Paul Valois 2nd Georges Hebert Form IB lst Graeme Tennant 2nd Raymond Douse Form IIA lst David Walker 2nd Robert Johnston Form IIB lst William Ballantyne 2nd Jonathan Birks Form lll lst Ralph Walker 2nd L66 WGTCIWOVN Form IV lst Alex Miller 2nd Epaminondas Embiricos Form V lst Daniel lavitch 2nd Allan Wakefield
