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.

22 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE The Junior School Choir: Away in a Manger Soloist: Mark Culver. When Christ was Born of Mary free Soloists: Ian Mackenzie, William Gould, Anthony Graham, Peter Grossman. The Twelve Days of Christmas - Arr. 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
