,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' . The following were the afternoon's and evening's programmes and awards:
