Hobby Show 'I963 brought many memorable events, one of them being the local exhibition of various hobbies, crafts, collections and pets. Those who entered from Selwyn House did very well, Melvin Weigel won the Intermediate Aggregate Trophy and the Senior Trophy was won by myself. Many others took special and place prizes. With some patience mixed with perseverance, it is not too difficult to coniure up some article, and if a ribbon is pinned on it, there are house points added to your credit. For those with less patience, there are games including table tennis, Cribbage, chess and others. Of course there is the Turtle Race for those wishing to exercise their specimens. In concluding, I think that this year will mark another successful hobby show and those of us entering from Selwyn House eagerly look forward to participating in this exhibition. Keith May, Form VI.

16 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Christmas Entertainment On Friday, 6th December, Selwyn House School held its annual Christmas Entertainment. At both the afteroon and evening performances the gymnasium was packed and the high calibre of the acting and singing was much appreciated by those who attended. The choirs again sang beautifully, especially the solosists. For this much credit must be given to Mr. F. G. Phillips and the boys for achieving such excellent results with so little time available to them for rehearsals. Unfortunately there performances more than were but two plays this year, however the quality of the compensated for the lack of quantity. The French play, Le Professeur est en Retard , directed by Mr. Martin, was amusing and well acted and the pronunciation of the actors was well nigh perfect. directed by Mr. E. Phillips, provided a fine ending to the performance. The was, again, of a very high standard and the play itself, written by an unknown in about I-450 A.D., was interesting and amusing. Play , acting author The Second Shepherds' Special thanks must also be given to those working behind the scenes, the make- up department under Mrs. Gibson and Madame Dorland, and the stage crew the direction of Mr. Moodey and assisted by Robert Diez. under CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT, 6 Dec., 1963 THE JUNIOR sci-iooL CHOIR lafternoon onlyi In the bleak mid-winter I saw three ships come sailing in SOLOISTS v.
