Russell Gary Gentles The Lucas Medal IAwarded to the most outstanding boy in the Senior Form of the School in work, games, leadership and character, on vote of Staff and his fellow-studentsl J. Allison The Chairman, Mr. H. Norsworthy reported as follows: Dr. Ross, Mr. Speirs, ladies and gentlemen and boys of Selwyn House School, it is a pleasure to welcome you once again to our annual prizegiving. I would especially like to welcome the new members of the staff for the forthcoming year as well as our very good friend and colleague, Dr. Stephen Penton, Headmaster of Lower Canada College, here on the platform and also let me say how nice it is to see the evengrowing number of Old Boys who are in the audience. I would like to digress here for one moment to tell you that Dr. Penton is President of the Q.A.l.S. which groups all the E.S.l.S. into one body.

I1 is hard to realize that this evening's prize-giving is the fifth to be held on these premises and I think it would be appropriate to review quickly where we have come these five years and to take a few minutes to see where we are going. In 1961, we were 292 boys ard a staff of 15 when we moved in through the last of the dust and rubble. You may remember we did not graduate our first matriculation class until the academic year '63-64, that van-guard class numbered just 11 boys. Last year, our graduating class had grown to 15. This year 21 boys will sit for their matriculation exams. From 292 in 1961, next September we will be 445 strong with a teaching staff of 26 which, if I am not mistaken, will make us the second largest independent English boys' school in the Province and amongst the first five or six in the country. Last year, I announced the inauguration of the Selwyn House Scholarship and Bursary Fund. Our activities for the first fiscal year have been on a very
