FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1964-1965 '23 SHELL COLLECTING There are different kinds of shells I like to collect. Every summer my grand- father and my grandmother go down to Nova Scotia. They get such shells as: angel wings, scallop miters, bleeding tooth shells and queen conch. ASTRONOIVIY I like seeing moons cut up into different shapes because on a Solar System map I can see what they are called. On the same map there is the moon with names of curators. It also shows planets such as, Venus and its storms, Mercury and its one side cold and the other side hot, Mars and its canals. I am saving up money to buy a telescope that has lens that can reach to Mars. ART I love to draw with a charcoal pencil because it has got a smooth touch to it. Charcoal slides around on your drawing paper like ice on a table. Also I like to paint what I have drawn in with pencil. After I have finished I show it to my mother and father. They say that I am pretty good for my age. I come to the conclusion of my hobbies and when I am older I should like to sell some of my pictures or give them away and to show my children too.

SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE 25 During the Afternoon the Junior Choir performed singing: The Little Lord Jesus is sleeping See amid the winter snow The Robin's Song And following the Juniors, Form ll sang: The snow lay on the ground The seven joys of Mary Earth's joy To close the evening, there was the acting of the one act play The Princess and the Woodcutter, by A. A. Milne. Mr. Ted Phillips directed the play, which was a tremendous success. The players are as follows: The Princess MICHAEL HOFFMANN The Woodcutter BRUCE BARKER The King JODY ALLISON The Queen DANNY RODEN The Red Prince SIDNEY SEGALOWITZ The Yellow Prince ROBERT TENNANT The Blue Prince WILLY WANKLYN and Jack Oliver was the prompter, but luckily was not needed. The play began with a talk between the Princess and the Woodcutter, and it showed clearly the love between them. However, the King and Queen had plans for their daughter's marriage and the Princess' future husband would be one of three suitors: the Yellow Prince, a fop, the Red Prince, a superfluous snob, or the Blue Prince, a dolt. To see which prince deserved the princess' hand in marriage, the queen disguised herself as a poor beggar woman, and when the princes wandered through the forest one by one, she would ask them as they came for a crust for a poor old beggar woman . Thus the one who gave her the crust would earn the princess. But the woodcutter realized this plan and warned the princes to fill the queen up with stale bread. By the time the queen had eaten 3 crusts of bread, she collapsed from exhaustion and as the woodcutter gave the queen some wine to drink, he deservedly won the princess. The entire performance was perfectly presented. The beautiful costumes were made by Mrs. A. L. Phillips and we thank her for the hours she spent making a play a greater success. Backstage, Mr. Moodey was in charge, and he, along with some helpers, spent much time preparing the stage for the two performances. Mr. Rutley and Tom Stewart assembled the lights and T. Stewart operated the lights during the performances. DeWolf Shaw acted as stage manager for the English Play and also set up the props for the 2 Junior plays. J. Johnstone worked the curtains and P. Gurd helped with extra props. Finally after superb performances by everyone the l964 Christmas Enter- tainment came to a close. DeWolf Shaw.
