I hope you have all made the most of it and are looking forward to a well earned and happy vacation. Next year we have Canada's lOOth birthday and let us all do what we can to make it a success. As we see the EXPO buildings rise and hear about the exciting things in store for us, do not forget that we have a responsibility as hosts to the many strangers who will be visiting us and will form their opinion of Canada largely from the reception they are given by us here in Montreal. As I said at the Prizegiving, remember that you are a part of the Quebec family as well as a citizen of Canada. In your work and in your play, try to fit yourself to make your contribution to the progress of both. cs. Miner Hyde. May 1966, R THE SCHOOL YEAR t965-1966 Board of Governors Chairman Hugh H.

The younger boys tend to appreciate their school far less than their retiring elders in Form Vll do, simply because they always look to the year ahead and comtemplate, sometimes begrudingly, the more exacting challenges awaiting them, while neglecting to scan over the accomplishments of the year gone by. Such a state of affairs is natural but not altogether acceptable. Therefore this note hopes to give the young- er as well as the older set one precious opportunity to vitalise their fellowship and increase their interest in the school by briefly recalling the events of the year i965-T966. Seven vacancies on the staff which might have caused considerable dis- ruption in the smooth running of the school machinery, were so well filled that all departments functioned as well as ever. To complement this welcomed array of new faces, the building itself greeted September with a new look following an extension of two stories at the north-east corner. On the academic plane the Science Club, debating, essay contests, Russian and German classes and the inception of our new scholarship programme among other events, all contributed to the general bustle that was maintained through- out the year. However, far from being subjected only to mental rigours, the boys, through ci revised gym and circuit training programme, underwent strenuous physical workouts which ultimately paved the way to an enviable record in the sports arena. The football team lost but one game and the soccer team was undefeated. The three hockey teams also registered very laudable records. But particular commendation goes to the Ski team who captured for the first time the inter- school competition. Finally there are the gymnasts who have had an outstanding year. I should like to extend, at this time, my thanks to Colonel Brine especially and to all the magazine staff for their energetic assistance in making this issue of our magazine not only a possibility but, I hope, even an improvement over the thirty-six editions that have preceded it. I urge you, as did last year's editor, Bruce Gill, to participate in the production of this magazine which besides pro- viding writing experience, puts one into the heart of school affairs. As the school year draws to a close, form Vll faces, as have two groups before us, the demanding stresses of matriculation examinations. The school has managed very well indeed thus far and we are confident that this year will be no exception to its earlier successes. Yet that perpetual wheel of thought brings me back again to the contemplation of the startling change from high school to university, from a state where we belonged to everyone to one where we will no longer experience that same togetherness we have enioyed up to now. A tremendous vote of thanks goes to the masters for all the knowledge, the stead- fastness, the help and the many good times and unforgetful moments they have given us. To them and to the boys who will succeed us in the future, the matricu- lating class of '65- 66 extends a fond, but l hope not a final, farewell. J. A. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1965-1966 11 Board and Staff We were very sorry indeed that Mrs. A. lan Matheson and Mr. Allan G. Magee decided to retire from the Board of Governors in October. Both have given most zealously and enthusiastically of their abundant talents to the many facets of school administration and we have all profited greatly from their services and wise counsel. We are happy that Mrs. T. Roy Hastings and Mr. Robert C. Paterson have agreed to serve on the Board, and both have already undertaken special duties, Mr. Paterson as Hon. Treasurer of the Board. We welcomed a number of new members of the Staff in September, and all have entered with great keenness on class-room and extra-curricular activities - the French department has been enriched by Mr. Fritz Ankum, the Science by Mr. R. P. Meldrum and Mr. Peter F. Ashworth, the History by Mr. John A. Messenger, the Gym by Mr. A. Moss-Davies, and the English and Maths by Mr. Todson H. Becker, Mr. James K. McLean and Mr. Hugh Spencer. During Mr. McLean's long convalescence from a serious automobile accident Mr. Kenneth Ward acted as supply teacher, as did also Mr. Robert Defries during Staff absences in the Fall. We will be very sorry indeed to lose the services of Mr. Michael E. Sherwood after three years' enthusiastic teaching and coaching at Selwyn House. His dyna- mic leadership on the football field with the bantams, on the hockey rink with the seniors, and on the ski slopes with a ski team which registered a decisive victory in the winning of the Hector Sutherland trophy - all this speaks for itself as an impressive record of driving perseverance, competence and mastery of coaching techniques. These qualities have also left their mark in his successes in classroom Latin and English. Our best wishes go with Mr. Sherwood as he leaves us to undertake his very responsible duties as housemaster ofthe Junior School of Ashbury College, Ottawa.

At the Christmas Entertainment the Carols were sung from the gallery for the first time instead of from the floor or the platform. It was generally agreed that the Choirs were heard to better effect as a result. lt is hoped that it may be possible for the Choir to sing regularly from the gallery at morning assembly. The Special Choir, composed basically of soloists, was invited to sing on the Tween Set television programme on Tuesday, April 'l2th. Three numbers from the Sound of Music were sung, with David Craig and Andrew Culver as leading 14 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE soloists. Others who sang individually in My Favourite Things were Jay Rankin, John Leopold, Wilson Lewis, John Wooler, Reginald Groome, David McCallum, Nicholas Spillane, Richard Tetrault and lan Beardmore. The fact that Union rules forbade the use of any accompaniment made their task more difficult, but all came through with flying colours, as did the chorus. The Junior School Choir shows great keenness and promise and this augurs well for the future of singing at Selwyn House. The winning soloists at the Christmas Entertainment were as follows: Afternoon: Form 3 Prize ----- Campbell Hendery Form 2 Prize - - John Leopold Form l Prize - - Jay Rankin Junior Prize - - lan McKenzie Evening: Form 3 Prize - - Wilson Lewis Form 2 Prize - - John Wooler Form l Prize - - Jay Rankin F.G.P.

In a series of often closely contested de' bates, and only after an additional encounter caused by a tie with Lucas, Speirs House carried of? the LeMoine Trophy. The individual groups of the house competition were as follows: GROUP ONE That the trade unions of today are detrimental to our society. Affirmative -Lucas House - Bruce Barker, Jack Oliver Negative - Macaulay House - James Benson, Alan Byrne That Communists should be reiected from Canada. Affirmative - Speirs House - Jody Allison, Henry Joseph Negative - Wanstall House - Robert Tennant, Tom Stewart Lucas and Speirs were the winners.

Affirmative - Macaulay House - James Benson, Alan Byrne Negative - Wanstall House - De Wolf Shaw, Tom Stewart Lucas and Macaulay were the winners. We should like to thank Mr. Becker and Mr. Moodey for judging and for their helpful criticisms and commendations. We would especially thank Mr. Hill under whose direction and coaching the Society has functioned. Junior Debating Club The start of this school year marked the beginning of the first Junior Debat- ing Club in Selwyn House. lt was organized by Mr. Becker for Forms 3 and 4 and it followed on the lines of the Senior Debating Club. We met every Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Art Room and we usually had two debates per meeting. They were usually two man teams with 5 minutes for the first speaker and 3 minutes for the other. As the year progressed our debates became more formal and more interesting with the affirmative usually holding the upper edge in points. Also the students took over the roles of chairman and time-keeper. The boys who attended regularly were: Michael OHearn, Brian Witkov Tony Warren John Mappin Andrew Phillips Nicholas Bala David Craig Duncan McCallum and Stuart Patch Duncan Campbell, as president. The boys of the Debating Club heartily thank Mr. Becker for the time he spent and the help he gave to us and we hope next year to have another Junior Debating Club. D C Public Speaking The finals of the annual Public Speaking contest were held on March 'l. There were six speakers each of whom was to give a five minute speech on the topic of his choice. De Wolf Shaw chaired the meeting. The speakers and their topics were: BARRY LAZAR - DANNY RODEN - BRUCE BARKER - ROBERT TENNANT JODY ALLISON - PETER HADEKEL - Private Schools versus the Parent Report' 'The State of Democracy Today' Substitutes for Violence Fashion' 'The Leadership of Our Two Major Political Parties' ls Man Really Civilized? FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1965-1966 I7 Mr. J. K. Hugessen kindly consented to judge the competition, and after hearing all the speeches, complimented the speakers on the fine quality of their material and planning. He offered some well received suggestions and an- nounced the winner, although he emphasized that the marks were very close. He also said he could only tell us who he thought were the three best. Jody Allison was declared the winner followed closely by Robert Tennant in second place and Bruce Barker in third. T.W.S. Hobbies Figure Skating One of the most interesting and impressive winter sports is figure skating. Although relatively few people undertake the sport especially as skiing domin- ates most winter activities in Canada, here in Montreal, there are four or five very active figure skating clubs in operation during the winter months. In the summer too, skating is practised in many areas. Summer figure skating schools are very popular and they give the young skaters a chance to become more advanced in the summer. There are two main divisions in figure skating: figures and free skating. Free skating is probably the most well known facet of the sport. This free skating is made up of complicated manoeuvres and high jumps. Normally champions can accomplish jumps such as the double axle or even the triple lutz which require the skater to take off on one foot, make two and one-half and three revolutions in the air respectively and then land on one foot backwards. All free skating is done to music which adds to both the beauty and the difficulty in figure skating. In competition a skater must show that he can both jump well and he must also have a change in speed in his music. The slow and graceful part of a skater's programme, which is always five minutes long, may be just as difficult as the high jumps and fast spins. Thus skaters who enter competition are judged on figures which count for 6090 of the total and also their free skating performance which is worth only AOQQ. The scoring by judges in figure competition is extremely complicated, it is based on the least amount of ordinals or penalty points that a skater can get. ln free skating competitions there are usually five judges who will give a mark out of 6. A six is extremely rare and a performance of such high marks would be rated as perfection. Five or more is very good, 4.0 or more is good, 3.0 or more is fair, 2.0 plus is poor and l.O or more is disgraceful. However, before you go into National or International competition, you must have passed the Canadian Figure Skating Association CC.F.S.A.J figure tests. All figures in figure skating are based on the figure eight. In all there are over sixty different figures some of which are nearly impossible to execute well. All these sixty or so figures make up a series of nine tests that a figure skater may take. The Preliminary test is the first test that a figure skater will attempt. The test itself is relatively simple, and in marked accordingly. However, the next eight tests are all a struggle and these tests are marked in a more difficult manner. Five or six judges will be standing around a skater as he executes his various figures. The tests are labelled as follows: the first test is called the bronze test and a bronze medal is awarded upon passing. The next three tests are simply the se- cond, third and fourth tests. A silver and gold medal are awarded when the skater has passed the fifth and eighth tests. When a judge marks, again his score is out of 6.0. In the first test the pass mark is 3.2, a skater must be passed in each I8 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE figure by every judge in order to pass. But as one progresses from test to test the pass mark increases with the degree of difficulty. Thus by the time you reach gold test level a 3.2 would be a failure score. The lowest that a score of any judge can be at that level is a rather steep 4.6 marks. Although it sounds gruesome many skaters try three or four times for one particular test. This is probably the most difficult part of figure skating, but when successful, much is gained. The best time to start figure skating, just like skiing, is when you are young. I started at age 3. It is extremely important to take lessons from a professional skater, for if you do not, I guarantee you will learn absolutely nothing. Many skaters turn Professional after their seccnd or third test - this may be where those long hours of practicing figures come in handy, as all teachers usually charge 52.00 to 52.50 per fifteen minutes. Many champions will charge up to 55.00 per fifteen minutes. Perhaps this price may seem high, but in no other sport can one learn so much so quickly from some expert instructor, even after short practice manoeuvres become simple. I suppose the next expense in figure skating, is the actual skate itself. When a child is growing rapidly, it is pointless to invest in very expensive figure skates. However, by the age of sixteen or so, when the foot is fully grown, the best thing to do is to purchase first class figure skating boots and blades. A pair of excellent, hand forged blades run at about 555. Remember, unlike hockey skates, less than one inch of a figure skater's blade touches the ice. It requires tremendous skill to make the blades exact. Most first class boots are made-to- measure' and such companies as Stanzione in New York or Oberhamer in St. Paul will charge over 5100 for excellent boots. It is not uncommon to hear of someone paying S200 for skiis, so figure skates are not that expensive. Many skaters will own two pairs of figure skates. One for figures and one for free skating. Free skating skates have an extra large pick that enables one to accom- plish high, well-rotated jumps. It is never too late to start this tremendous sport. It certainly has given me much enjoyment, so much so, that I intend to spend this summer in Banff, prac- tising there at the Figure Skating School. De Wolf Shaw, Form VII. Coin Collecting I was beginning to wonder what hobby I should take up when one day my mother brought home to me, a red coin book from France. My first coins were from Bermuda which my mother and father gave me. Many coins have odd shapes such as round, square, oval and some coins have holes in them. Coins that come from different countries are worth more or less than others. The coins I have are made of tin, copper ard silver. These coins come from places such as France, Ireland, Spain, Mexico, U.S.A. and England. I am sure you have seen men who own coin shops. These people are called Numismatists. When you bring your coins to the coin shop, the man examines them and tells you how much they are worth. If you trade them he will give you your money. Here are a few facts about coin collecting but I hope I have im- proved your knowledge about it. Dean Bremner, IB. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1965-1966 19 My Hobbies I have a few hobbies. One is wood-working, two collecting stamps and three making plastic models. Collecting stamps is my favourite hobby. I have almost 10,000 stamps from each of the three different countries that I collect. Another good hobby that I have is collecting Dinky and Gorgi toys. I have c beautiful shelf covered with wood to keep them on. Just four hobbies aren't much. I also do metal work with my mecano set. Whoever doesn't have at least one hobby must be bored stiff. Robert Miller, A2 My Hobby is collecting stamps, making airplanes and boats and camping, and also playing soldiers. My favourite hobby is collecting soldiers. I have lots of old-fashioned soldiers and when I play against my brother I greatly outnumber his soldiers. Another of my favourite hobbies is going camping. Nearly every year we go to Maine camping. We ride rented bicycles and we swim, fish, sail and go for walks along the countryside around us. Fishing is fun. Last summer we caught clogfish, which are baby sharks and we cut the females open and we found baby eggs and some of them had little baby fish already. We put the baby fish in the water and they swam away. One year we went to Maine and my brother and sister and I made a raft. Father got on it and when he was in not very deep wa- ter he fell off. When he came up again he still had the cigarette in his mouth. So my favourite hobbies are going camping and playing soldiers. Ian McKenzie, Form A2 My hobby is collecting stamps and I have 200 stamps. I have stamps from China and Canada and lots of other places. I did lots of them during the summer holidays. My dad is a collector also. He has lots of stamps also. My favourite stamps are from China because they have nice colors. My grandmother's aunt gave me about I5 stamps from Scotland. Taylor Gray, A2 There are many types of hobbies. My hobby is collecting old and new stamps. Another of my hobbies is collecting fancy rocks and old pieces of metal and little pieces of old wood. In my stamp collection I have a stamp that looked like a triangle. I have a 1932 stamp that is worth at least 51.00. Some of the writing was so small that I had to take my magnifying glass to look at it. When my father came home he gave me some stamps and I put the stamps in an enve- Iope that has the name of the country from which the stamp come from. Allan Schouela My hobby is the study of rocks. When I go to the country I take a walk and look for rocks on the road. Sometimes I am playing on the way home from the lake and I see some nicely shaped rocks. Once when I was climbing the cliff mountain behind our house, I saw a stairway design on the rock in the cliff. I have a piece of sand stone at home. Jimmy Stein, A2 20 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE My hobby is rock collecting. I have over a hundred rocks - some quartz, granite, coal and many others. They are all nicely cleaned and polished. But I think none of them are valuable. A few have fossils, of shells and ferns. Others have the shell in them. Their colours range from white to black. Ned Porter, A-2 My hobby is collecting tropical fish. Some are live breeders. These are the most fun to have. The mothers eat their babies, so you have to move the babies into another tank before they get eaten. The fish I have are called Swordtails, Mollies and Guppies. All of them are live breeders. Another of my hobbies is col- lecting pennies. I have some from the U.S.A. and some from Canada. These are also interesting. I have an old one from I899. I also collect stamps. I have so many from all over the world and one is IOO years old. Jamie Buchanan My hobby is model building. I have a Corvette, a Jaguar XL, 5'A Seaplane, a Thunderbird, a Studebaker. I also have six American bombers and one Japan- ese and one German bomber. I have a cruiser and a Torpedo boat. I have the ship of Hendric Hudson which is the Half Moon. I have a helicopter. I like A.M.T. Models because they are really realistic. I like Lindbergh models too. Eric Foch, A2 My hobby is collecting stamps. I have about five thousand stamps. I have some China, Japan, Canada, England and lots of other places like Italy. I have some very valuable stamps because they come from places that don't exist. I have been given stamps from all my brothers and my father gives me some too. Then I walk up the street and get some from the Tomlinsons and a few from the Com- mons maid. My father and mother gave me a nice stamp album for my birth- day and a map so I could tell where the places are. Christmas always brings me special stamps because mummy and daddy have friends in lots of countries. This Christmas I made an interesting discovery when daddy asked me to throw some envelopes with stamps on them Cwhich I did not wantl into the fire I saw that the stamps were the last to burn.

Austin The final performance enactment of The Fantastic Flight by Sidney Box. The play was directed by Mr. Moss-Davies and the cast was: Reporter BARRY LAZAR News Editor STEPHEN LEOPOLD Noah Boomer ALAN BYRNE Jake PHILIP MILLER Foster JAMES BENSON Heatherfield CHARLES GURD Stella PER AMUNDSEN The scene changes between a telephone booth and the News Editor's Office lboth offstagel, and at first, a study in Prairie University and subsequently in an office at the Boomer Manufacturing Works. The final scenes take place sixteen years after the introductory scenes. The play is a rather sombre narrative of Noah Boomer's life from the time that he, a pacifist, inherits an armaments concern until the world is covered by poison gas during a war. Only a chosen few in a helicopter survive. Behind the scenes, Mr. Moodey and Mr. lversen kept order and insured that everything ran smoothly. Madame Dorland, Mrs. Sutton, and Mr. Moss-Davies took charge of the make-up. Mr. Ashworth, T. Stewart, G. Buchanan, and S. Hurum controlled the lighting. De Wolfe Shaw and J. MacDougall set up the scenery with assistance from McGregor who also worked the curtains, while Mr. Tees, D. Barker and C. Miller did the ushering. The cooperation and ardor displayed by all concerned made the perform- ances a heralded success. gg if I , l I I ' I ' I r I 1 Y ARMISTICE DAY 1965 4 0 ,A NK K ACADEMIC PRIZE GIVING Annual Academic Prizegiving June 1965 Once again the annual academic prizegiving wus held in the school gym- nasium on the afternoon and evening of Thursday, IOth June. In the afternoon the guest of honour was Geoffrey H. Merrill, Esq., BA., Director of Junior School, Lower Canada College, who presented the prizes to the Junior School and Form I of the Middle School. In a splendid address Mr, Merrill pointed out that there was no such thing as Instant Education and that only persistent hard work would meet the demands made for university entrance. But Mr. Merrill also pointed out that beside the academic requirements, there were the qualities of honesty, cour' tesy and loyalty which must be inculcated into the minds of his youthful aud- ience. In the evening the school was honoured by the presence of Mr. Justice G. Miller Hyde. Mr. Justice Hyde warned his audience that young men cannot afford to live in the past in a changing Quebec. You must learn French he said, and don't be satisfied until you can express yourself with equal ease in both lon- guages. Emphasising his point Mr. Justice Hyde delivered part of his speech in French and expressed the hope that the day would soon come when Selwyn House could participate in a student exchange programme with French-Canadian schools and thus form lasting friendships which would bridge the gap between what some people now call the 'Two Solitudes' .

Many of the entries appear to be last min- ute efforts to beat a deadline rather than a serious attempt to produce a literary contribution of worth. Again we are indebted to Mr. E. C. Moodey for iudging this competition - a truly onerous task! The prize winners were as follows: Senior School: D. Roden Middle School: N. Tobias Junior School: C. Stewart-Paterson to whom go our congratulations. The Photographic Contest As the deadline for this competition approached, members of the staff faced a barrage of flashlights on every possible occasion and the results surpass belief! It is hoped that our budding photographers will realise, next year, that there are more interesting subiects for a school magazine than reproductions of the faces that glare at you across a desk for so many hours of the day, fun though it may be to afflict the staff with temporary blindness. At the same time some good photographs were produced of school interest and our thanks goes to Tommy Stewart, Eli Daniels, Mark Newton and Mark Lazar. The Arthur Meighen Essay CANADA IN 1980 Canada has much to look forward to in the future. She is a young nation, not yet a hundred years old, and undeveloped compared to other modern indus- trial nations. She is now experiencing an unparalleled economic boom that is increasing geometrically. Canada is well in the forefront of nations entering the space age with its amazing technological advances. At the same time she is learning to make better use of her voice in world affairs to help solve the pro- blems of the world. Certainly the future has some problems in store for Canada, but we, the Canadian people, look forward to them as challenges to be met and overcome. l believe that the greatest changes that Canada will experience in the next fifteen years will come in political, social, and economic aspects of Canadian life. At the present time, Canada lacks the one basic requirement for good stable government, a party capable of winning a majority in parliament. The Liberals failed to win a maiority in the last election because they were handicapped by Mr. Pearson's naivete and the irresponsibility of certain Liberal Members of Parliament. The Conservatives will never win an election as long as Mr. Diefen- baker leads the party. The platform of the New Democratic party, while it appeals to a minority of the people, restricts the potential of that party. As the Liberals FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR l965-I966 29 and Conservatives tend towards socialism, as they will do, the New Democratic Party will lose its novelty and thus its appeal in the minds of the people. How- ever, some time in the near future, Mr. Pearson and Mr. Diefenbaker will relin- quish the leadership of their respective parties. When this happens, I believe that the Conservative Party will be in the best position to form the next government. This party has many responsible Members of Parliament as well as capable pros- pective leaders like Eric Nielson, Davey Fulton, George Hees, and Duff Roblin. The Conservatives also have a strong party organization. ln my opinion, by l98O the Conservative Party will have been in power for several years. The Canadian Government of the next fifteen years, be it Liberal or, as I believe, Conservative, will be faced with several problems which will demand its immediate attention. The first is Canada's slow trend towards socialism. Should it be stopped, allowed to continue at the same rate, or accelerated by comprehensive social legislation? I think the Government will elect to allow the trend to continue. Since Canada is in no great economic difficulty, there is no need for a rapid change to socialism. However, the need for increased social welfare is apparent. Medi- care will come to Canada within five years. The government will increase the old age pension and expand the Canada Pension Plan, implementing at the same time a commensurate increase in income tax. ln the next fifteen years some industries will be nationalized, but only those which will function more efficiently under government control. Canada will maintain the free enterprise system long beyond 1980, combining it with some of the benefits that socialism entails. The second problem has already come to light, and will become more and more serious until it is firmly dealt with. The issue is the distribution of power between the Federal and Provincial Governments. Certain listed powers were conferred on the provinces by the British North America Act, but some of these were returned to the Federal Government during the two World Wars. Now the provinces are demanding these powers and many more from Ottawa. The most insistent and far-reaching demands are coming from Quebec. No one expects the Federal Government to grant Quebec an associate State status, as some radicals demand, but it is reasonable to expect that all the provinces should be granted increasing control over their own affairs. The Federal Government must grant the provinces a greater degree of autonomy without letting the balance of power swing in favour of the Provinces, which would endanger the unity of Canada. I believe that the Conservative Party, when it comes into power, will adopt this attitude and will grant the provinces the powers that they can best administer, without endangering Confederation. The one factor that will have the greatest effect on the Canadian social structure in the next fifteen years is Quebec's Quiet Revolution . The French Canadians in Quebec are striving to throw off the minority rule imposed on them by the English Canadians since l763. Seventy-five percent of the popula- tion of Quebec is French-speaking, and it is reasonable to expect that such a majority should control the province. However, the English have shown great initiative in Quebec, while the French have been content to sit back and let the province succumb to corruption. Now the French-Canadians have finally realized the responsibility they hold and the task that lies before them. Since the demise of Duplessis, the financial and political power in Quebec has passed from the hands of the English into the hands of the French. At this moment the English Canadians are tolerated in Quebec, but I fear that in the future anyone who does not speak French will experience harsh discrimination. Some will not have the courage or the desire to stand up for their rights, and will leave Quebec. The maiority, however, will stick it out and live out the lives they have made for themselves here in Quebec. The attitude of the rest of Canada towards Quebec will also change. English Canadians will become more aware of the unique cul- 30 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE ture ofthe French-Canadians and will accept them as having a common interest in the future of the Canadian nation. Thus by 1980, French-Canadians will be somewhat more harsh in their attitude towards their English counterparts, while English Canadians will be more willing to accept French Canada into their society. By 1980, every Canadian will be better off than today. The Government is assuming more responsibility for the lot of the fifty percent of all Canadians that are classified, according to a recent Royal Commission, as impoverished . The War on Poverty and the Department of Manpower are some of the measures now being initiated to bring the prosperity of the nation to every Canadian. To these can be added the welfare programs, such as Medicare, that have already been mentioned. However, the best way to assist people in need is not through charity but through education. Given a chance to acquire some form of education, any man will improve his lot. Free education from Grade 1 to college, for every Canadian, is a need that will be recognized and met by 1980. Free educa- tion will help the poor to help themselves, and thus will have raised Canada's standard of living substantially by 1980. Canada is dominated economically by the United States. American corpora- tions with large working capital can afford to risk money in development that Canadian investors avoid. Consequently most maior economic ventures, such as the exploitation of newly discovered resources of the opening up of new fields of production, are financed by American companies. This influx of American capital has greatly stimulated the Canadian economy, but it has also deprived Cana- dian business of its independence. Up until now, this fact has hurt the pride of some Canadians, but has not by any means afflicted them materially. Now, because of the new guidelines for foreign investment imposed by the American Government, the Canadian economy stands to suffer a great deal. In effect, decisions made by the American Government will be imposed on Canadian citizens. This is a very serious state of affairs, and the Canadian Government must take steps to remedy it. The only way to do this is to get the American Government to exclude Canada from its directives to business, as it has in the past. For the future, we must try to regain to some degree the control of our economy and make it free from the decisions of the United States. The effect that Canada's trend towards socialism will have on the Canadian economy between now and 1980 will be slight. I do not expect to see any wholesale nationalization of major industries, but rather I expect to see the government assume control of industries that are not func- tioning efficiently. However, the Government is considering a program to regroup Canadian industries to make them able to compete on foreign markets. I believe that by 1980 this program will be in effect, and that it will greatly stimulate the Canadian economy. Generally, the Canadian economy will have made great advances by 1980. New improved production techniques will boost manufactur- ing output to a record high. Canada's natural resources will play an important part in her economy, providing the raw materials for an accelerated manufactur- ing boom. ln 1980 Canada will be in the forefront of the modern industrial na- tions ofthe world. l think that Canadians can look forward to the next fifteen years as years of progress, bringing prosperity and happiness to a greater number of Cana- dians that ever before. The Canada of 1980 will have a strong government that truly represents the people. Its program will combine the liberties of free enter- prise with the welfare benefits of socialism. The Canadian people will be en- joying the prosperity of an economic boom that will continue to increase geome- trically. I see Canada in 1980 as a modern nation, a bounteous nation a mari usque ad mare -from sea unto sea . Henry Joseph, Form Vll fGrade XID FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 196541966 31 The Goocl Samaritan But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him Luke 10:33. Two years ago, Kitty Genovese was assaulted in the lobby of her New York City apartment while thirty-eight witnesses ignored her cries for help. One of the greatest problems facing our society today is the gradual dis- appearance of the Good Samaritan aspect of the character of man, leading to such events as the Kitty Genovese incident. And yet, when the rare case of a person intervening when he thinks another is in danger occurs the Good Sama- ritan may be sued by the intended victim. For instance, if a doctor stops to help an accident victim, and, in spite of his help, the victim dies, the doctor who tried to help the victim to the best of his ability, may be sued by the relatives for negligence or jailed for assault. Sociologists put forth many reasons for the gradual disappearance of the Good Samaritian . Some blame the moral numbing that life in a big city breeds: this loss of the sense of community coupled with the feeling of most citizens that crime or accidents should be left to the authorities leads to the problem of the Good Samaritian . Others suggest that a person, because most of mankind is basically humanitarian, wants to help another person in trouble, but the threat of entanglement in the law, that is, court proceedings, etc. stop him. In other words, people do not want to get involved . In any case, something must obv- iously be done to the law to protect the rights of the Good Samaritan and to compensate him for injuries he may suffer. The law does, however, state that in certain cases, such as husband and wife, one person must help the other. Also, some countries such as ltaly and France, provide for fines and jail sentences in case a person fails to give help to another obviously in need of it. Recently, the New Jersey Supreme Court reversed the convictions of two Good Samaritans saying that: Not only is it just that one should not be convicted of a crime if he self- lessly attempts to protect the victim of an apparently unjustified assault, but how else can we encourage by-standers to go to the aid of another who is being subjected to an assault? Clearly, changes in the law are coming: and come they must, unless we are prepared to witness the downfall of our societty. D. Roden The Lonely World of Oliver Kerriger He was just another of the babies born in the United States and his name was Oliver Kerriger. Blond and blue eyed he seemed like a very ordinary boy until the age of four. Then his parents started noticing things that were very peculiar for a boy of four. He was reading the newspaper every day and could work out mathematical problems in his head. At five, he built an intricate bridge with his brother's building set and often meditated quietly in his room. He was doing very well in school yet he never did any homework. His parents took him to a psychiatrist who stated plainly that the boy had an l.Q. of two hundred and fifty. No longer was Oliver Kerriger one of the ordinary four and one half million children born every year in the United States, but a genius who might reveal every secret on earth. He became famous throughout the world and graduated from university at the age of ten. A year later he read Einstein's theories and filled in the missing links. 32 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE At thirteen, he went to Canada to try and solve the problem of food and warmth up in the north and did so with amazing new machines. Scientists from all over the world came and asked questions and stared with wonder and awe as he answered them. When he was fifteen, he was asked to join the top scient- ists at work and developed new ideas, machines and even a computer with Cl brain equal to man's. Most of the public rejected him, saying they were happy with the life they led and that they did not want others improving it. Oliver Kerriger at twenty was a quiet, amiable man who often had to be kicked, before someone said anything to him. Most of the time he was in a world of his own and no one dared interrupt. Meanwhile, civilization was advancing rapidly and many people were now colonizing Mars. Oliver, impressed with the vastness of space, was trying to find a new and better way to travel through space. After three years he discovered it and the billion dollar project began. Finally the spaceship was built and Oliver chose the name Alpha Centuri I for it. In a week it was going to be tested and everyone was anxious to see this. On the day of the lift-off, his mother noticed that he was not the same. He was acting unusually and would not talk. Oliver flew to the launching pad at Florida and set the spaceship to take off in five minutes. At two minutes to go, he raced to the spaceship, climbed inside and then the big white monster took off. That was the last the people saw of Oliver Kerriger, and many said that they were glad. Most people said that he went off to explore space. Others said he was tired of man and considered him foolish. But only a handful said that Oliver went because he wanted earth to progress by itself, with no one to slow down or speed up the advance of human beings. Norman Tobias My Furry Friend One day I decided to go for a walk in the woods. A minute later, I stopped to watch a hare. It ron from me as if I were a giant. I knew how it felt though, for the towering trees above me made me feel a bit small too. Later on, l came to a small clearing, and in the midst of it there was a tiny squirrel squirming with fright. It had fallen out of a tree. I picked it up, smoothed its fur, and it fell asleep right in my hands. Gently, ever so gently, l put it in my pocket and set off to find its mother. But after awhile I decided to keep it, for it had a broken leg, and it was so cute. A few weeks later it had completely recovered. Instead of a meek little squirrel, it was a scampering little Wildcat, and, to my surprise, it liked jelly- beans. So every week I shouted Tippy, Tippy , and then I would put the jelly- bean jar on the floor, and it would help itself. Soon I let it go. but every day it would come and sit on my lap and nibble an acorn. From the first day I met the squirrel it was my best friend. C. Stewa rt-Patterson, AI Terror in the Townships Two French Canadian boys had decided to take a holiday in New York, and had set out to hitch-hike there. So far, on their first day, they had been walking most of the time, and had reached the neighbourhood of the Eastern Townships. Eventually they had decided to attempt a short cut, and had left the road. Now, an hour later, it was almost ten o'clock. They were completely lost: it had started to rain, and they were cold. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1965-1966 33 At last they saw a light through the branches of the trees, and a few minutes later they were in front of a small farmhouse. They knocked at the door, and a woman opened it. Pardon, madame , said one of the boys, in his heavy French accent, we are lost and tired. Could you give us a bed for the night? She hesitated for a moment. Our house is very small she said, after thinking a little, and we do not have a spare room. But you could sleep on the hay in the barn, if you wish. The two boys accepted readily, and thanked her. They went across to the barn, and since they were very tired they fell asleep straight away. Early the next morning they awakened, refreshed but hungry. They could hear sounds out- side, and through the barn door, which they had forgotten to close, they could see the woman who had been so hospitable. She was talking to a burly man. I told you to kill them last night , she said, and handed a huge knife to the man. He took it and looked at it doubtfully. Must I kill them both? he asked. Yes, both, she answered. She turned back into the house. The man stood watching her for a few sec' onds, and then turned and walked away. The two boys looked at each other in terror. They want to kill us, stammered one. The other nodded vigorously. You never can tell, he agreed. They are probably Protestants. And English, added his friend, which is just as bad. Let's get out of here. They stole noiselessly to the door. The woman was leaving the house, with the man behind her. Hastily, sheltering from sight as well as they could, the boys crept round the barn and headed for the nearby woods. The woman looked into the barn and turned to the man in surprise. Funny, she said. Why should those boys have left like this, after l've pre- pared so nice a breakfast for them? The man was silent. The only answer was the clucking of some chickens beside the barn. The woman turned angrily to the man. You lazy good-for-nothing! she exclaimed. l thought I told you to kill those two chickens! l know, dear, he answered apologetically. l haven't got round to it yet. l do hope those boys haven't gone into the woods. The bog there is a regular death-trap. R. Snowball, Form VA 34 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Millions The sun rises exposing the rat-hole, millions stir. The crabgrass is trodden, wheels turn over pavement. The call of the Piper is heard by all. Watches tick - not one nor two but millions. Louder than tribal drums they utter their commands, millions obey. Nine and five, numbers abused on the face of the clock. Rats contest the race from punch-card to slippers. Six o'clock. Napkins fold and forks attack. The boob-tube is warm and the eyes are heavy. At the bewitching hour millions of tired rats repose and await tomorrow's curtain call. P. Hadekel, VA Thirty Years On When we are admitted at 8.40 we find on our desks notices concerning the day's activities. Assembly was given up twenty years ago. The teacher enters and seats himself in his booth, and tells us to get ready. We put on our ear- phones, and a soothing tone puts us in a semi-hypnotic state. As soon as we ore sufficiently hypnotized, the teacher turns on a mathematics record. ln this way, our parents tell us, we learn as much in a week as they did in a term. Next comes a record about the chemistry of the nuclear bomb. This does not interest us greatly, because the nuclear bomb is a thing of the past. Even our parents can tell us all about that. After this boring lesson we take recess, which lasts for forty minutes, before the last period of the morning, which we think is the best in the day. For this lesson we are not hypnotized to listen to records. We are taught how to drive a space-ship. Our parents tell us that they had to be eighteen before they could obtain licences to drive old-fashioned cars, but we are eligible at thirteen. Lunch consists ofa pill washed down with a glass of water, and is over in a few minutes, but we are allowed an hour to relax from our morning's work, before returning to the classroom. The lesson consists of a movie which lasts for three hours, and consists of an account of what is happening in the world, and how we can rectify the gross faults we observe. After this film, we are escorted to the gymnasium for exercise and games to shake off the effects of sitting for so long. As, at 6.00, we leave the building, we see the Board of Governors arriving to continue their discussion of how to acquire the bowling-lawn across the road in order to build another hockey arena.

Michael O'Hearn, Form IIIA Spring The earliest robin has been seen In flight towards the north, The trees begin to form their leaves And flowers their buds bring forth. The bear comes out of winter sleep To watch the signs of spring, And bees begin to make honey As to their hives they cling. The birds are singing in the woods To tell the waking world Of all of Nature's splendid sights About to be unfurled. John Wooler, IIA Tools and Rules Pencils are for writing, They are not meant for fighting. Pens are made for using And not for always losing. Ink is for writing in books And not for spoiling friends' looks. Exam papers are for pockets, Not for making into rockets. Desks are there for working, Not for jumping on or jerking. The classroom is for learning And not for overturning. And even when our work is done We must walk and never run! C. Rohlicek and H. Carter, Form AI 36 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Our Pets I have a little pet and his name is Tim. I love him very much. He likes car- rots and rabbit food. He has a little porch in his cage, and at night he sleeps on it. He peeps when he would like some food. He is a cute little pet. Andrew Purvis, Form C My pet is a dog. You can have fun with her, but she can't do any tricks. She mostly sits by the heater all day and plays with her toy puppy. When the doorbell rings she barks at it, and she has such a squeaky voice. Michael Berend, Form C The Skunk A skunk is a good pet for children. If you catch a skunk when it is little you can have its scent glands removed. lt will play a game when the family forms a circle and they lump forward and touch their noses and then jump back. They might do it twelve times or more. When a skunk is wild it will build its home in a hollow tree or in a wood- chuck's old den, or it will dig its own den. It eats mice, grasshoppers and other bugs. It eats chickens, too. It is a relative of the weasel. James Buchanan, Form A2 Ma Profession Ce qui m'interesse le plus en ce moment est le cinema. Quand i'aurai ter- mine mes etudes a Selwyn House, i'irai a McGill faire un Baccalaureat-es-Lettres, ensuite i'irai ei Paris a l'lnstitut des Hautes Etudes Cinematographiques. J'y apprendrai toutes les techniques du cinema, et l'histoire du cinema. Ensuite ie choisirai dans quelle section du cinema je ferai ma carriere, et ce sera probable- ment le montage. Comme vous savez, un film n'est pas fait d'un seul coup, mais de nom- breux morceaux, en tout mon metier serait de rassembler ces morceaux et d'en faire une bobine. Apfes avoir ete moniteur, i'aimerais devenir metteur en scene. l.a plupart des grands metteurs en scene sont d'anciens monteurs. Deux dont i'admire beau- coup les qualites, Alain Resnois et Serge Eisenstein, sont d'anciens moniteurs. Un film, s'il a ete bien fait, est une oeuvre d'art. Un exemple de ceci est Le Cuirasse Potemkine' d'Eisenstein. ll s'agit de la revolte des marins sur ce cuirasse en l9l7, pres d'Odessa. ll n'y a pas de dialogue puisque c'est un film muet, mais l'interet est pourtant constamment soutenu. Une scene qui m'a beaucoup impressionne se passe a Odessa. On voit seulement des bottes de soldats qui descendent implacablement vers la populace massee au bas des escaliers. Cette scene est un parfait exemple du genie de ce metteur en scene, et de ce qu'on peut realiser. Le cinema me passionne depuis longtemps et mon reve est de reussir dans ce domaine.

Allison Charles cle Gaulle et la Nouvelle lndepenclance de la France La France maintenant essaie de devenir de plus en plus independante at l'e- gard de ses voisins et de ses Allies, et son president, Charles de Gaulle est le par- tisan principal de ce mouvement. Pourquoi a-t-il lieu et est-ce qu'il reussira? Pendant la deuxieme guerre mondiale, la France a ete vaincue par les Alle- mands dans quelques semaines. C'est pour cela qu'apres la guerre la France a essaye de regagner un peu de son prestige perdu. Prenons des exemples: en lndochine, la France a combattu avec le Vietminh pendant huit ans, et enfin elle a perdu cette guerre a Dienbienphu, perdant vingt mille hommes. En 1954, quand la guerre en lndochine avait cesse, la France a commence une nouvelle guerre en Algerie. Elle l'a perdue aussi. Apres ces debacles, de Gaulle a decide de commencer cette nouvelle politique exterieure. Mais il a des motifs caches: il est un grand Francais qui a regu un tres mauvais traitement en Angleterre pen- dant la guerre. Maintenant il essaie d'isoler la France en piquant ses Allies de la deuxieme guerre. Par consequent, il a mis son veto ia l'application de la Grande Bretagne d'entrer dans le Marche Commun et il essaie maintenant de ruiner le Marche parce qu'il veut que la France soit independante et tres puissante. Mais peut-il reussir dans ce but? Sera-t-il possible qu'il reussisse? Je crois que non, ie ne crois pas qu'un efat puisse etre completement independant de nos iours. Mais peut- etre le Grand Charles changera-t-il d'avis apres avoir presque perdu la pre- sidence dans la recente election. J'espere que oui, pour le bien de toute l'Europe. Mais seulement l'avenir peut nous le dire. D. Roden Le Frangais Le francais est une langue, Une langue tres facile, Mais si on l'etudie quand on est grand, C'est tres difficile.

FORM Vl A The Company of Fifteen Associates, which holds directors' meetings five times weekly in Suite Vla, has a very noteworthy executive. Its board members include : Tim Ainley, iunior vice president, who is the director of scientific research, but also plays a maior role on the company ski team, Alan Byrne, secretary, who is often ruled out of order during board meetings because of his lively debates about topics not on the agenda, Eli Daniels, senior vice president, who should easily make the company baseball team when he learns to handle a baseball the way he does a briefcase, Philippe Dorland, senior vice president, who stands out among the board mem- bers and who, against frightful odds and despite all appearances, manages to remain clearheaded during board meetings, Tom Haugland, vice president in charge of legal matters, who is strongly in favor of establishing a 15 hour week for the hard-working directors, John Lovell, president, who is extremely keen on details and is the company's best hope in stalling off both intellectual bankruptcy and the teachers, 46 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE David Ludgate, senior vice president, who thinks board meetings would be infinitely more restful if the advisors from the parent company wouldn't sit in on them, John MacPhail, senior vice president, who is an expert in saving energy for those vital projects which begin Friday nights, Hugh Markey, treasurer, who may be lured away from the company by the Red-Headed League or the Flat Earth Society, but, until then, adds much zest to meetings, Cary Miller, vice president in charge of public relations, who is busy enhancing the corporate football and hockey image among other companies, Mark Newton, vice president in charge of labor relations, who manages to keep a firm hand on all the workers and stowaways in his capacity of an officer of the parent company, Chris Phillips, junior vice president, who has had a socialistic and anarchistic gleam in his eye ever since reading ANIMAL FARM, Nelson Vermette, vice president in charge of sales, who will probably become a masked crimefighter, a Latin teacher, a disk jockey, a lead guitar or a politician after leaving the company, Pierre Viger, vice president in charge of organized labor, who fully realizes that a stitch in time saves nine, but can't sew anyway, Melvin Weigel, junior vice president, who is trying to induce the rest of the board to be as hard-working and punctual as he is, Mr. Iversen, chairman and fearless leader, who is on loan from the parent company and who faces the next to impossible task of preparing the directors for better boards. FORM VI B Through the annals of Canadian history much has been said about the heroic charge of the British up the cliffs at Anse au Foulon before the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. It is surprising, however, how little is known about the gallant men who were the first to overcome the guard at the top of the heights -those courageous men of the Company of 6 - B. They rowed slowly and silently, with Wyllie and Benson at the oars, towards the shore, and when challenged, Commander Tait assuaged the fears of the sentry in his impeccable French. Having thus gained the enemy's confidence, a landing was made and the three hardy Scots, McHugh, McGregor, and Mc- Dougal scrambled ashore. They climbed up the path and overcame the Gurd at the top so that Privates Miller, Hoffmann, and Amundsen could haul the cannon to the plains, while Pte. Tees carried the balls and shot. Sgt. Hayward brought up the rear using only a Barker for protection. Suddenly at the top, a group of French soldiers rushed them and their French - Russian leader La Czar was killed. During the brief battle Buchanan shot 193 Frenchmen while Drummond ran for Culver. The last to make the cliff was Thackray who had been sleeping in the boat. When all had been done the other forces scaled the cliff and the rest was recorded in history. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1965-1966 47 FORIVI V A VVI-IO AIVI I?

Countless reporters and British OFficials are milling around, waiting anxiously to welcome the dignittary to England. A short while afterwards, the mayor was seated in a Rolls-Royce Silvercloud with a police escort. The automobile purred powerfully past the Bank of England to the royal suite of the Savoy hotel. He regretted that he was not riding in his plush custom-built KIL GOUR-cart with its four, eighteen carat gold blow guns, among other accessories. This vehicle, by the way, is ideal for crushing rebel uprisings as Samuel Lazar - God rest his soul - once learned. After a short nap at his hotel, the mayor was hurried by aides to a con- ference with two British ofticials, Horatio Nelson, and Archibald McKenzie. His first impression of those gentlemen was unfortunately unfavourable. He felt that Mr. Nelson's monocle was highly unfashionable, and he disapproved of Mr. McKenzie's unwise iudgement. Mr. McKenzie had chosen a certain CRYER as a translator - he was deaf. But at this same time, four burglars were invading the royal suite at the Savoy. These were not ordinary thieves. Muscles McLeod, Cat Tyler, Whysky Weil and SMILEY Smith, all notorious underworld figures were storing jewels, money and other valuables into hidden compartments in the lining of their clothes. Take that off! roared Smith sarcastically, Everybody will notice you in that top hat, those glasses, that hideous black beard and the ridiculous pipe . Only trying to help, mate , came a deep voice in reply. Cat was busying himself in another corner of the room, and Whysky was trying to squeeze another cuff-link inside his false muscles. However, the crooks were not alone. ZELDA FRICKER, a hotel cleaning woman, happened to be cleaning the door knob of the royal suite. Hearing some mysterious shuffling of feet and the occasional exclamation, she immediately determined that something FlSHY was going on. So she ran to her boyfriend Floyd Oliver who was sitting on some steps at the back of the hotel. Eating soggy GRAHAM crackers. She explain- ed her suspicions, but poor Floyd who did not see the LIGHT of it told her to forget about it . As soon as the mayor realized what had happened, the news papers were ablaze with articles on the theft. American reporters such as the Huntley- Blakely team covered the story. In desperation Sure-Lock Sheppard of Scotland Lard was called in. But alas, the only clues were: A black top hat, an old pipe, a pair of glasses, and a black beard found in the royal suite itself. And that is the despicable truth of it all! The case was never solved. 50 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE FORIVI IV A The year 1990 - the place, Selwyn House Old Boys' Reunion. As always happens at reunions, several people get together and begin reminiscing. let's listen in to the famous Rabbi Grossman talking to the smallest player fwish he would growll in the N.H.L., Michael Goldbloom. And do you remember Brian Witkov? Yeah, how lucky can you get? Succeeding Hugh Hefner as editor of Playboy? I never thought he'd rise THAT high! Speaking of high, what about Brian Roy, you know that he's an airline pilot for AIR QUEBEC. Wonder what happened to Skelton? l've heard rumours - just rumours of course, that he's a double O secret agent. Secret? Hah! He could never keep his mouth shut about anything If it's an open mouth you want, go to St. George Church on Sunday. Andrew Phillips, the priest, delivers the best sermons l've ever heard outside a synagogue of course! Let's hear now what Captain Roy Hastings of the Canadian Army is saying to the famous jungle explorer, Brian Ludgate . . . Well, how Robert Chancer got into the world's top singing group is a mystery to me! It's a mystery to me he ever got anywhere but to sleep, and late at that! Remember that Mappin fellow? Rough luck was in a plane crash a week after he was elected Prime Minister of Canada . Just as well for the country if you ask me, say what happened to Mappin's friend, Chris - Chris Atack? You mean you haven't read any of his books? You should - they're great . Near the bar, Nikolas Bala, the head of Selwyn House's geography depart- ment is plying David McDougall. The famous runner drinks, hoping to loosen up his tongue. Bala has some questions to ask him. The illustrious surgeon William Mcllvaine is talking with theatre critic Steve Kirkegarde and his wife Cathy. Steven, if that bracelet isn't taken off right away your arm will have to be amputated But doctor it's stuck! Benbow, the mad scientist, is conversing with David Schouela, a sane scientist. Remember how much Duncan Campbell was against Westmount. He doesn't seem to mind it since he found that diamond mine and moved there. I guess he was just jealous. Do you by any chance know what happened to Bob Corbett? Of course I do. He plays the part of the fugitive on the television show. He gets all the crime roles. Too bad Davis won't be here today. It's not so easy when you're a movie star I suppose. Anyway, he had to attend Usher-Jones' funeral . Too bad Jones died Yeah! Usher The Crusher was a really great borer . Over in a corner, Winfield the gourmet, is sampling George ll's cooking with apparent enjoyment. Well, let's go before we're seen. Oh! Ohl, look out! Run! Bang! Thud! Aho, I might have known it, local gossip column writer. Alright Mr. Sher- wood, let's have those notes. Get your hat and get out! R THE SCHOOL YEAR 1965-1966 51 ,,-' zfv NX..

If one should look in on the Parliamentary discussion one would notice how much mutual agreement there is in our country's capitol. Mr. Thomas Norsworthy, the Speaker of the House rises and says l recog- nize the Right Honorable Prime Minister. In accordance with this, Prime Minister Anthony Warren whistling O 'Canada addresses the assembly. Today unfortunately Mr. Stinnes, the Minister of Transport will not be here because his plane was grounded in Winnipeg. We will now hear from opposition leader Mr. Hendery, Che coughsl on this issue. Mr. Hendery rises tucking his shirt-tails in, and raises his hand, immediately a band begins to play The Maple Leaf Forever . Several Liberal members including the Minister of Revenue, Mr. O'Hearn, Postmaster General, Mr. Boswell, the Minister of Education, Mr. Tobias and the Liberal M.P. from Montreal West Mr. Reade sit bewildered in their seats. During this uproar, Mr. Hickey, the Minister of Finance is looking for his wallet. Governor-General Lang rises and lifts his hand for silence. Everything stops, and there is silence except for the Minister of Defence, Mr. Walker who encouraged by Mr. Culver, the Liberal M.P. from Westmount and Mr. Alsop the Liberal M.P. from N.D.G. breaks out in a chorus of Alouette . Attorney General Segalowitz outraged, rises and throws his glasses to the floor, and unable to find his seat, is led to it by Mr. Isaacs the Minister of Fisheries and Mr. Doulton, the Minister of Health and Welfare, Meanwhile Mr. Pollak, the Secretary of State is trying in vain to awaken Mr. Duncan McCallum the Minister of Labor. During this com- motion Mr. Peter Kivestu the Minister of External Affairs is taking a lesson in Chinese from Mr. Victor, the Solicitor General. The Minister of Recreation, Mr. John Light is seen playing cards with Mr. Cooper the Conservative M.P. from Town of Mount Royal, and Mr. Earle the Minister of Natural Resources. Suddenly Mr. Genzel, the Minister of Agriculture dives under a chair and emerges with a wallet which has the initials G. H.. All is almost back to normal, except for a heated argument about the lyrics of Ol Canada , between the Liberal M.P. from Dorval, Mr. David McCallum and the Liberal M.P. from Outremont, Mr. Laxton. Throughout this session Mr. Wingham the Independent from St. Lambert, has been playing with his atomic structure kit, which interests him a great deal. But suddenly the bell rings and 3A prepares for the next period. FORM lll B GUESS WHO. .. 'l. He likes to play hockey and tiddly-winks, And is always up to some hi-iinks. 2.

FORIVI ll B THEIR GRAITS AND WHAT AWAITS First is Fisher on Dopking's back Along with Ayre - Boy! What a pair. Goodfellow's fate is being late, Along with Oliver MAGAZIN FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1965-1966 57 Who just makes the gate. Now we turn to hysterical Howard, Whose iokes amuse the older folks And McCoy, Stop rolling on the floor Before you pass out the open door James is always scratching his britches But he keeps us all in stitches. Parker really likes his hockey And he's like a walky talky. After a test Vaughan's face turns pale He asks himself Did I fail '? Stoker works iust like a joker He should be dealt with! Pecldal's marks are picking up When will he learn to button up? Rosey, Grady and Bergoffen Together in line are found quite often. Locke's still looking for his keys Behind it all, Stephen's tee hees? Some say Marsh is all bogged down But this he denies with a frown. MacDougall the bugle is sounding off All the answers - he's got it soft. Linden's away in Mexico The girls he likes in Tampico. Scott who has moved around the class Looks for a seat in which to pass. Agnew is one of those English blokes Who makes us some terrific iokes. Reardon and Claxton, an alarming pair, One at the door, the other in despair. Ludgate in hockey is a slapstick type To tangle an opponent he's always ripe. Tomb's tone is quiet he sits very erect His work very carefully does he check. Now we are coming near the end lan's learning should be l.B.M'ed Finally we have a word from Hannon Who thinks our Master is built like a cannon. And that my fellows is about all Except to say - Stay on the ball FORIVI I A The boys of Form IA were sitting at the Foothills of Confusion, staring at the forbidding Mountains of Ignorance they would have to cross before the end of term. It's a greater problem than I can solve alone, said Mathemagician Robertson. WelI, if we hope to reach the Kingdom of Wisdom in time, we'll have to tackle it without delay, remarked Rankin, who never wasted time. Perhaps we could ask Mr. Becker to show us the way, suggested Miller. I think we should try it alone first, said Sutton, Mr, Becker likes us to try to figure things out for ourselves. 58 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Anyway, we had better get started, said Brodkin, leading the way. It wasn't long before Goldbloom, who was quick to notice things, sighted the Sea of Knowledge. It looks very wide and rather deep, remarked Kaross. l think MacLean ought to cross first and explore the other side, said Byrne. He's very experienced, agreed Witkov. But how will he reach Conclusions before the bell rings? asked Stratford. He could draw them, said artists Saletes and Bovaird together. Why not jump there, suggested Pearson who was an awfully good athlete. ln a short time they were beckoned on by Connolly, who was keeping watch. Led by Bourne, they plodded along a narrow difficult road. Look at all those trucks loaded with clauses! said Wolvin. They're almost surrounding us, sighed Clarke. Our progress is barred by Grammatical Construction, reported Molson, who was scouting ahead. Donald was sent to get assistance and came back with Mr. Spencer, who helped them pass. We should have paid attention to the Detour sign, said Creighton, who was the expert in French. l'm sure Mr. Ankum put it there to help us. Perhaps, said Mathias, but we have taken a good short cut to the top. Dorey was asked to stop at the first information booth they came to. Mr. Tees showed him how to read the local map. You had better memorize it carefully, he suggested, or you are likely to lose yourselves in the Sea of Darkness. With Roger urging them on, they persisted. There were many obstacles they had to hurdle but luckily Mr. Lewis and Mr. Moss-Davies were there to help them. It was with relief that they arrived in the Valley of Sound Decisions where they stopped to rest, while they admired the landscape by Mrs. Sutton and watched Mr. Phillips conduct the choir in a song without words. There was just enough time for a Word Game refereed by Mr. Sherwood and Mr. Ashworth. Hale said they would have to hurry and determinedly, they trudged on. The landmarks now began to look familiar. Suddenly cheers burst from the boys as they finally reached the top. There stood Colonel Brine with a cheerful smile, This will go down in history as a great achievement, he said, as he led them through the Gates of Success where Mr. Speirs waited to greet them in the Kingdom of Wisdom and sent them on their way to Form ll. G. E. Hale Cwith apologies to Norton Juster - The Phantom Tolbooth.l FORM l B ln lB when we call the roll, We start with Tommy Agar, Followed by Jamie Archer-Shee, Our own perpetual plaguer. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1965-1966 59 Dean Bremner then, and he in turn, By the first of our five high C's, lts Peter Campbell, none the less, Our Scottish Highland big cheese. Michael Chambers is the second, Michael Chrastina the third, Billy Cottingham and Jon Cowen, Complete the whistling herd. Greg Daniels is alone in D, Likewise in F is Andrew Fraser, But Keefer Wilks and Kilgour Graeme In K will sure amaze you. Tim Lantier and Sam Levinson ln L are a pair contrasting, Our light and heavy weights are they, Continually blasting. Jeff Mappin and Greg Meadowcroft, Of our three Big Ms are two, The third Greg Merrick follows With his polite 'Sir, How are you? John Odell is in O's alone, As the teacher onward presses, And immediately followed By our bunch of hissing S's Donald Shannon and John Shuter Are ahead of Norman Stark, With Dave Stewart and Paul Switzer in, Like Noah, we close the ark. But open it again we must, Michael Wollock's not in yet, Ah-Ah at last we've got him, IB again are in my net. FORM A I Many moons ago, in fact two terms, these A'l paragons of academic prowess, forsook their waspish ties and habits sober, to don the green of elves, the homespun of coarse labourers. Puck Sehon tlitted across the boards revealing the while, by punctured saws, the meaning ofthe scene we should behold. With brimming confidence and fiery speed Forrest Bottom put on the mantle of the lover, Pyramus, to whisper vapid nothings to his dearest Thisbe. Adorned becomingly in roughest sacks, with womanish scarf be-draped around his shoulders thin, this beauteous Jeremy swore staccato fealty to adored Bottom. The while sat Starveling Morse, injecting brilliant barbs at measured inter- vals. Bill Snug and Salzborn Snout let drop their clumsy gems of wisdom. Direct- ing all, with pipe in mouth and cheerful countenance, Quince Gordon his heavy actors managed and with every hazard coped. From behind the woodland trees, peeped elves of varying shapes: the curious audience to this actor's dream, humming the while this tuneful rhyme: 60 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Where the boys work There we lurk. On our wooden desks we jerk. There we squirm when prep we shirk When prep we shirk When prep we shirk After lessons merrily, merrily, After lessons mer-ri-ly Merrily, merrily do we play then Under the eye of one of the men. Merrily, merrily do we play then Till we come in, and begin all again. With apologies to Mrs. Marsh and Shakespeare! Alas! There dawns another day, the glamour gone, but lingering on into our daily chores. Howard Carter brings again exciting and rare specimens to make history and geography come alive. Mark Salzborn brought India closer to us, as he had conversed with P. M. Shastri on a plane trip there, and we mourned his passing as we read of his funeral. George Tombs has a special interest in Egypt and we were intrigued to hear of the gold tooth-pick used by Edward Vlll while in that country! From mountainous Switzerland comes good natured Peter Oehen, and to bring his country into the classroom we have his eidelweiss. Sitting cheek by iowl with this is Frank Nemec's infant grapefruit-tree, growing less quickly than its owners. For a short three weeks in deepest winter, Glenn Crain brought the warmth of his native Australia to us. We know, quite surely now, that they really do have kangaroos, Koala bears and laughing kukuburros down under. Though their indigenous animals differ widely from our own variety, young boys have much in common and become fast friends. Close to home we have our Expo Expert, Blakeney Lewis who keeps us up to date on i967 and all that. Our other Lewis, Peter the Quiet is, like the river, silent but deep. He took some time to get accustomed to the garrulous A-owners. Reaching for the shining stars of arithmetic, and getting them, we have Roy Donaldson, Mark Schreiber, Danny Schouela, Hugh Mappin, Ted Claxton and of course Bill Turner and Jeremy. All will definitely count in life! And our artists! They bring colour to gladden our eyes and senses. Charles Rohlicek, with his sure right hand and innate feeling for design, John Hastings creating imaginative scenes with a light touch, and Chris Stewart-Patterson working for orderliness and balance. But the boys themselves are a kaleidoscope of colour, as they troop in from games. Brian Cohen exhibits all the reds from the brilliant crimson of his cheeks to the cheerful orange of his head, Bill Gould, bright with excitement, and the fairer shades of red, and Brian Kishfy, red under protest, for fresh air is not his favourite food, especially when inhaled at winter temperatures. If a helping hand is needed to carry stacks of exercise books, no one is more willing and gallant in his thoughtfulness than Graham Hallward. When they move on, as move they must, over the gulf separating Junior from Middle School, there will be one damp eye. But there will be deep ioy to see them moving speedily towards more success. FOR THE SCH OOL YEAR l965-1966 61 BRICKENDEN: BYERS: CHAMBERS: FORIVI NOTES A ll GAMES It was Gray, Foch and McKenzie And a game that was meant to be, And the way they played together Was beautiful to see. JeFf couldn't go running and iumping And Kent no more could he, For each was a lazy fellow, Each wanted to be free. Cronin and Vaughan were a sight For a fight had started you see - Stein and Stoker will tell you As Weldon told it to me. It was hockey that Groome was playing And Grossman was referee, And the puck that Campbell fired Landed high up in a tree. Kilgour would bend his face down On EIliott's faithful knee, And Roberts, another new boy Was as happy as he could be. Weil in the upstairs cloak room Locked away his stick with a key, But Graham forgot that he had one So his stick was gone, you see. Buchanan was still in the races, Case hit the puck with glee, But Naiman and Porter and Roper Flew by to victory. The masters stirred from their places As quickly as could be, For Schouela had dropped his glasses And Michel had hurt his knee. A shout came forth from the window Mrs. Haugland called with a plea, Could all my fine boys be rewarded, They're the best that could ever be!

This departure took place because construction was going on at Molson Stadium, and we were not able to use its facilities. We plan to be back in Molson Stadium next year. As in the previous years the track meet was run in three sections. Firstly some of the field events were run off at the Westmaunt Athletic Grounds on one of the regular sports days. This was done on a day that was cold and rainy. The preliminaries were held as usual on the Friday before the long weekend, and more events were run off. On this day, we shivered in the cold. The day of the meet itself was very muggy, and threatened with rain. Fortunately it held off until the presentation of prizes, and this was accomplished in a minimum amount of time Mr. J. D. Scheel, Danish Consul to Montreal and father of one of our graduating class, presented the prizes, and congratulated the school for the way in which the track meet was run, and for what it had done for his boy.

Lucas House The Gymnastic Display Friday, March 11th, 1966 Once again, a capacity house of parents and friends were treated to excellent displays, afternoon and evening, by all the boys of Selwyn House School. Great credit is due to Mr. Lewis and Mrs. Moss-Davies for the long hours of hard work which went into the preparation of such an event. At the close of the afternoon performance crests were presented to the best gymnast in classes of the Junior School by Mrs. T. R. Hastings.

The demonstration consisted of vaulting, and tumbling, in front of a critical audience of phys: ed : teachers from around the Province. Two iunior gym squad members, Ainley ii, and Coristine ii per- formed with the Senior Team. 'I'.V. GYIVINASTIC DISPLAY For the second consecutive year, Selwyn House Gymnasts were asked to perform as guests on the C.B.C's television programme, Tween Set , Due to restrictions in time and studio space, the display was limited in its content. Nevertheless we demonstrated a variety of gymnastic movements, both on mats and box. Mr. Moss-Davies initiated and perfected many ofthe sequences. During the filming of the display Mr, Moss-Davies directed the boys whilst I attempted a commentary, We had to limit our number of boys to eight, and the following represented the School : - Stuart Connolly James Coristine Willie Wanklyn Neil Cryer Gregory Weil Norman Tobias Sven Hurum Donat Reardon The display was a success, although I felt that better camera positioning would have presented viewers a better appreciation of some of the movements.

Every boy that played on this team can look back on this football season with pride and satisfaction. Also, the caliber of football continued to improve. We got off to a flying start by beating Stanstead 42 - O. Good conditioning was a major factor in this initial victory. This game established that we have both an effective passing and running attack, as well as a strong defense. Two touchdowns were scored by both Case and Gentles and one each by Connolly, Allison, and McHugh. Our next game was against Ashbury College which resulted in a tie, 26 - 26. Although a tie, this game was a moral victory because we were playing a more experienced and much heavier team. This game was a great tribute to our front wall and we were all grateful for a fine defensive play by Preston Gurd which prevented a touchdown at a crucial point. McHugh and Gentles each scored two touchdowns. We next went on to beat B.C.S. 14-7. A spotting trip made by Coach Anderson the week before enabled our defence to adiust and turn in a spec- tacular game. Allison's consistently good passing and McHugh's hard running contributed to Gentles scoring two touchdowns which he converted. Two days later at L.C.C. we realized we had paid a high price for our victory at B.C.S. which had resulted in the loss of McHugh from an injury. Without him our running attack was greatly weakened and we had to rely on Allison's throwing arm. Although we held our own in the first half, which ended in a score of 13 - 12 in their favour, our shortage of players prevented us from keeping up the fast moving pace and we lost the game 25 - 'l2. Two touchdowns were scored by Gentles. Our last game was much like the first we played against Stanstead and we won 26 - 0. Allison turned in another good game, scoring two touchdowns. McHugh and Gentles each scored one. Special recognition should be paid to the fine leadership of Allan Case as team Captain and most valuable lineman. Congratulations to Gary Gentles for being named Most Valuable Player, an award well deserved by Gary. Following are the boys who played on this team : Case, Gentles, Allison, Connolly, Wanklyn, Joseph, Tennant, Gurd, Oliver, Barker, B., McHugh, Wyllie, Byrne, Dorland, Miller, C., Barker, D., Markey, lazar, McLeod. 72 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE FIRST FOOTBALL TEAM Sfeb 7455 26 1 ' ., BANTAM FOOTBALL TEAM FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1965-1966 73 BANTAM FOOTBALL As this was the third year of football for Selwyn House, the experience and background made a marked difference in this year's Bantam team as com- pared to its predecessors. The team made a much better showing on the score sheet, tying one game and winning their contest with Bishops. Lack of confidence at the start of the season resulted in the loss of their first games, and it was unfortunate that this was overcome only late in the season. Yet, all in all, it was a very good year and each member of the team profited from the experience. Of course one should thank Mr. Sherwood for being our 'faithful' coach, sticking with us and doing a good job as coach. Thanks also should go to Mr. Messenger and Mr. Anderson for coming out to practices sometimes. Generally the boys learned a good deal and this will benefit next year's team. Boys on the team were : - Ainley l and Ayre l as co-captains, Clark, Hadekel, Maase, Hurum, Cryer, Graham, Kilgour l, Oliver l, Mackenzie, Tyler l, Gordon, London, Miller l, Bala, Campbell I, Roy II, Witkov I, Scott I, Usher-Jones, Winfield, Amunsden, Culver I, Drummond and Daniels. Games Played Westmount High Loss 13 - 16 Being the first game of the season many players were unsure and nervous, consequently there were many mistakes. Touchdowns by Culver and Daniels gave us our points. Lindsay Place High School Loss 6 A 22 This was a disappointing game as we all thought we would do better. Daniels scored our touchdown. Mary Mount High School Loss 13 - 26 Our team lacked desire and coura e in this ame and were defeated b 9 9 Y Marymount's spirit and hustle. However Daniels did score once on reverses, a play which worked well with us all season. Gloucester High School Loss 0- 26 On our first away game the team moved sluggishly and iust could not get going at all. The field was in terrible condition which made it a hard game to play. Darcy Magee Tie 13 - 13 Due to some hard practices before this game, the team worked well and played a hard game. Brian Mackenzie, a new comer to the full back position, scored a touchdown as also did Daniels on another reverse. Bishop's College School Win 13 - 12 Playing on a field of snow, the whole team worked with desire and hustle. The defence played an especially good game and held Bishop's far away from our goal in the last quarter, enabling us to win. Brian Mackenzie played a good game and scored one touchdown. Daniels scored his sixth touchdown of the season on his usual play, the reverse. lt was a good game and great to win, being first game the Bantam team has won in three years! 74 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE UNDER is soccsrz SOCCER 1965 This season has been a most successful one for the school. Many boys turned out for pre-season practices which enabled the school to field the strongest possible side. Five matches were played, all of which resulted in decisive wins for us. Michael Isaacs scored eleven out of our twenty-four goals and only two goals, all season, were conceded by our defence in which Billy Molson was a key player. Norsworthy proved to be an inspiring captain and our success was largely due to a great team spirit, The Wanstall Cup is again in our possession and it is hoped that our next year's team will have similar success. The following is a summary of results : - Ashbury at S.H.S. S.H.S. at Ashbury S.H.S. at B.C.S. S.H.S. at Sedbergh B.C.S. at S.H.S.

Despite this improved record the team did not always play the standard of hockey of which it was capable. The best showings were against Bishop's and Stanstead when the Selwyn House team outplayed and out-shot their adversaries. If it had not been for the superb play of Stanstead's goal tender, the score in that game would surely have been much greater in favour of Selwyn House. The Fathers team this year, reenforced by four members of the staff, completely outplayed the boys and won the game 4 - T. This game was a great disappointment to the boys who played their poorest hockey of the year. Great credit must go to Mr. Sherwood who worked patiently with the boys all season, teaching them the fundamentals and many of the finer points of the game, and instilling in them the true team spirit which is so necessary. The team consisted ofz- Allison,, Barker, B., Barker, D., Buchanan, l., Case CAsst. Capt.D, Connolly fAsst. Capt.J, Coristine, l., Culver, I., Jennings, McHugh, Miller, P., Thom fCapt.J, Tratt, Wanklyn and Weil. Thom and Tratt were voted the players who had contributed the most to the team, at the conclusion of the season. Coach's Note. My thanks to Phil Thom and Alan Case for also a special word to my first manager, assistant coach Wanklyn and his successor Hugh Markey.

A lot of the credit goes to our coach, Mr. Anderson, who used all of his ability to help us on our way. The amount we improved can easily be shown by a comparison between our first and last games. ln the first we lost to Darcy Magee by a score of 8 - l but in the last game we turned the tables on the some team by winning 3 - O. The following boys played on the team 1 - Roy i CCaptainJ, Wilson, P., and Grossman i Nice-Captsj, Roy ii, Amunsden, Cryer ii, Drummond, Vermette, Culver i, Corbett, Mcllvaine i, Goldbloom i, Tyler i, Clark, J., Benbow. Out of sixteen games played, we won 8, lost 7 and one was drawn. UNDER 1 3 HOCKEY With the new distribution of games days the Under 13 hockey team was able to practice together this year. This meant considerable sacrifice in time for some of the players who had to sit in school in Prep during early games, and then rush down to late games, from which they returned late in the afternoon. A very enthusiastic season was played, although there was not the excite- ment and drama of the previous year with the exception of the game that we played against the Westmount All Stars, all our games were very decisively won or lost. L.C.C. was much better than we were this year, and on the other hand we were much better than both B.C.S. and Ashbury. We had also some trouble getting games at our regular age level, and we had to play B.C.S. with a team that was younger than the regular age, and to play the Westmount All Stars with a team that was over the age group. Under the leadership of Andy Culver as Captain and Phelps Mcllvaine, the following boys played for the team: In goal we had Brian Gentles, Leslie Chuckly, and Robert McDougall. On defence were Jay Ronalds, Tommy Norswor- thy, Phelps Mcllvaine. On the forward line were Michael Isaacs, Norman Tobias, Michael Goldbloom, Billy Ainley, Craig Shannon, Michael Reade, David Knight, Tony Tyler, Alan Victor, Richard Tetrault and James Benbow.

Mr. Sherwood coached us in technique and gave stamina training by having the candidates race around the Park, timing each member. By January, the team was both proficient and in excellent condition. lnitial preparatory races by the team were held on Mount Royal and at St. Sauveur in cross-country, giant-slalom, and slalom. The results in these com- petitions were promising and boded well for the big meet at St. Marguerite. The team, consisting of Michael Culver, Mason Tyler, Duncan Campbell, Lindsay Gordon, Tim Ainley and Andrew Culver, quartered at Auberge Lauthier at St. Marguerite Station for the weekend. Saturday morning the crossfcountry race was held in a rainstorm, but, thanks to the proper wax, S.H.S. team was able to earn a solid second place in the overall standing. Mike Culver, Tyler and Campbell placing well in the first ten runners. That afternoon the slalom was held and the weather had not improved in the least. But led by Mike Culver, our team took lst, 4th, 7th and 9th places and moved S.H.S. into first place in the standing. During Sunday's giant-slalom we were once again inspired by Mike's winning time, and the team won this event as well from our rivals, l..C.C. A happy group returned to Montreal that evening, and with us we brought the Sutherland Shield. It had taken six long years to wrest it from L.C.C. and we savoured our triumph. A tribute must be paid here to our captain Mike Culver for his fine skiing and leadership, having won the Giant-Slalom, Slalom, and placed second in the cross-country. Also we would like to pay tribute to our coach, Mr. Sherwood, for the long hours of invaluable conditioning workouts we had at Murray Park and for the high enthusiasm he gave to each member of our victorious team.

Habitant. lt was extremely fortunate that the closing of Avila Ski Centre did not force the post- poning of the ski meet, for the weather was excellent and the snow conditions were very good. Mr. lversen had already started setting up the giant slalom course when the bus arrived, so there was not much of a wait before the start of the races. Mason Tyler did his share for Lucas House by winning both the Senior slalom and giant slalom. Jim Jennings of Wanstall came second in the giant slalom and third in the slalom to place second in the combined. Phil Thom also of Wanstall placed fourth in both races and third in the combined. ln the lntermediates, Donny Reardon placed first in the combined by win- ning the slalom and placing fifth in the giant slalom. Lindsay Gordon finished second in the combined by placing fourth in the giant slalom and sixth in the slalom. Gordon Usher-Jones came fourth in the slalom and eighth in the giant slalom to win third spot in the combined. SKI TEAM FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1965-1966 81 Most boys considered the courses to be quite difficult, but even so everybody made a fine effort to make the day a success, which it was. But the greatest credit goes to Mr. Iversen, Mr. Sherwood, and Mr. Moss-Davies who made this wonderful day of skiing possible. Wanstall overcame tough opposition to win the ski meet. Macaulay followed closely and was in turn followed by Speirs in third place and Lucas who came fourth. SENIORS COMBINED SCORES INTERMEDIATES COMBINED SCORES 1. Tyler i CLD 40 Reardon i CSD 2.

It was formed two years ago by Mr. Sherwood, but only this year was it formally founded . It is an under 13 team and it played games against the school and Lower Canada College. We practiced every Monday and Wednesday and had stiff opposition from some of the older boys. In the games against L.C.C., the Selwyn Team lost their first two starts, won the third and tied the fourth. The boys ofthe Softball Team cordially thank Mr. Sherwood for his help and hope that the teams will continue in the years to come.

Campbell Science Displays This year for the first time two science displays were held. Both purposely co-incided with the parents' teas so that the many parents could see first hand the excellent interest shown by the participating students. There was a great deal of work put into both the planning and the setting up ofthe demonstrations, which the boys themselves displayed to those parents who came into the physics lab to see them. Credit should go to Oliver l, Joseph, Ainley l, Tyler I, Hurum and Nelson who all had their own demonstrations and also to McDougall, McGregor, Clark, and Hadekel whose combined talents produced an excellent demonstration. Special credit should also go to Charlie Gurd who spent much time painting our publicity posters. P.F.A.

All the boys are finding the switch from Selwyn House to university a rather momentous one, but are looking forward to second year with a renewed excite- ment since they have became acclimatized to the routine of College life. The expedition to Neufchatel was led by Jamie Morgan and Keith May who, although finding the work very demanding, seem to be enioying themselves. Tommy Bourne also headed for Europe, Grenoble to be specific, where he has spent a pleasurable year in the French Alps learning to speak French and improving his skiing. Morgan hopes to enter McGill while May is eyeing an American university, since his family is moving to Cleveland from their present home in Brussells. Bourne is aspiring to enter first year Arts at University of New Brunswick. Jimmy Coristine returned to Selwyn House for another year of enlightenment while Ulrich Scheel and Gerald Smith ioined the ranks of the working, though they hope to enter university eventually. Andrew Schindler is at Westmount High in grade XI. Peter McLeod attended Montreal High for a time and is now preparing for his matriculation in various subjects. The ranks of the '63-'64 graduating class were somewhat decimated by the exams at McGill last year. Vodstrcil, Scott and Vowinkel made it into second year. Rumour has it, however, that the latter two are parking off to Australia for a year or so. Culled from other sources:- BIRTHS To lan Bovey - a daughter, to Robert F. Eaton - a son, to Derek A.
