30 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE fe-A L-RX Q x: UTM f I JJ. ikeviwy Literary Competition Entry to literary competition in the senior school this year was voluntary and the response was disappointing. The middle and junior schools on the other hand, showed keeness. Unfortunately the standard of the work did not match the enthusiasm. All entries betrayed either careless revision or a total absence of polishing, and choice of theme was, too often, dull or unsuitable. Apart from obvious class exercises, the favourite theme this year appears to be aimless or incredible antics in outer space, and successful crime. Verse was erratic and faltering and no poetry is awarded this year. The short story prize is awarded to Scheel, whose command of a foreign tongue is impressive. The essay prize goes to Allison, with Roden's highly com- mended. The winning contribution from the junior school, which excelled those of the middle school, was from Hale. House points for meritorious effort are awarded to: Coristine l, Dorland l, Schindler, Tratt l, Hamovitch, Wingham, O'Hearn and Kaplan. Photographic Competition The entries for this competition were of very poor quality, lacking in artistic effort, originality and school interest. However a prize was awarded to R. Mac- Dougall, and commendations to S. Miller and M. Wollock. On the other hand our thanks and commendation are due to Bruce Barker for his many photographic efforts on behalf of this magazine. MEIGHEN ESSAY The essays submitted for this competition were again, assessed by the judges to be of high standard. Space does not permit the reproducing of these essays in this magazine, but our congratulations go to Bruce Gill, the winner and to Jody Allison and Rodney Devitt who were adjudged second and third respectively. THE LIBRARY This has been another good year for the Library. The Junior School has been thoroughly enjoying their new Library shelves and bookcases. These cases with their glass doors do display the books to good advantage. As the boys pass by, they seemingly choose books for their next Library period. They know exactly where each of their favourite books are dis- played. Also, all the new books purchased by the School have stirred up even more interest with the result that the circulation of books in the Junior School is very large and the boys are very enthusiastic. The Senior Library is functioning very well. A great many very fine books have been purchased by the School and we have had some valuable donations.
