28 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE A report on the Christmas Choirs which sang at the School Entertainment on Dec. 9th appears elsewhere in this issue. On the following morning the Special Choir went for a second time to the CBC Studios in St. Laurent, this time to be taped for an appearance on T.V. in the Tween Set show for Tuesday Dec. 20th. This proved to be c most successful undertaking. The Christmas numbers sung were The Twelve Days of Christmas with the following soloists: lan Beardmore, Bruce Oliver, Nicolas Spillane, Norman Tobias, John Wooler, David McCallum, Michael Parker, Reginald Groome, Peeter Kivestu, Kim Vaughan, Jay Rankin and Christopher Noble. The Snow Lay on the Ground and We wish you a merry Christmas. ln the first number the soloists were shown individually and this made a most effective presentation. At the coming Prizegivings a Junior School Choir and a Choir drawn from forms 2 and l will sing in the afternoon. ln the evening the Choir will be comprised of boys from forms 3. The songs to be sung will have as their theme the celebration of our Centennial Year and we look forward to some stirring renditions. F.G.P. C gtk fl xv VVO k K! x l R 5 m y f T A Wi. V is

The following appointments were made: President, Barry Lazar, Vice-President, Cary Miller, Secretary, James Benson, Treasurer, Gray Buchanan, Time-keeper, De Wolf Shaw. The house debating competition was very fierce this year. Following the three rounds, an additional round was necessary because of a tie between Lucas and Speirs.

Affirmative - Macaulay House - James Benson and Alan Byrne. Negative - Lucas House - Martin Tratt and Robert Seely.

Affirmative - Speirs House - Per Amundsen and Peter Hadekel. Negative - Lucas House - Martin Tratt and Robert Seely. That it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Affirmative - Macaulay House - Gray Buchanan and Alan Byrne. Negative - Wanstall House - De Wolf Shaw and Brandon Ayre. Mr. Moodey judged Lucas and Macaulay to be the winners.
