28 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Z? i TKGYEY The Literary Competition Although the entries this year were more numerous, the desirable standard of quality has not yet been reached. 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
