To me it symbolizes honesty and truth in every way and in everything. It poses a positive challenge to get and to give all that is best in life. As Mayor of Westmount, you were kind enough to invite me to participate in a number of activities at Selwyn House. In the at which you flag in 19653 exercises in the new wing all of these ceremony honoured and accepted Canada's new at the graduation and prize giving 1968 and at the official opening of of the school early this year. On occasions and at many other times I have observed that HVeritasH is a vital living thing in Selwyn House. It was seen in in the parents, in the Staff and, most in the boys who will be the leaders of Education is the tool which to conduct the search for truths which the Governor importantly, tomorrow. enables us will enrich the lives of mankind. In our world today we see clearly that we must press forward urgently to discover new values essential for the survival of humanity. In our haste, however, let us not cast aside past achievements unless and until these are proved to be out-moded or untrue. In answer to my opening question I can think of no better motto than VERITAS and I hope you will continue to retain it as the guideline for your lives. K,-P 1' S Mrs. T. R. Hastings Mrs. A.

The honour is paid, we feel, not only to Dr. Speirs for his long and prominent career in the service of education and the community, but to Selwyn House School, whose course he has directed for almost a quarter of a century. Dr. Speirs subsequently delivered the Convo- cation Address, in which he urged the importance of the humanities in an increasingly technological world. In the course of his speech he said, Surely it is fundamental to our concept of an enriched life that man cannot live by bread alone, that the sifted wisdom of humankind has an inspiring message for our atomic world, and that it avails little for our researchers in outer space to probe the hidden mysteries of the moon, if we cannot understand or get along with our next door neighbour or make our everyday environ- ment a happier or more secure place for our children . . . Keep up your studies in the humani- ties, for therein lies an enrichment of the mind and the heart that is beyond all measuring to your maturing self, and it may well be to the business or profession to which you are dedicat- ing your talents. In recording our congratulations to Dr. Speirs and our pride in sharing with him this honour, we commend these words to all boys who are setting out in the world. 10 if M SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Board and Staff The Board of Governors were very sorry indeed to lose the valuable services of Mr. W. G. Buchanan on moving to England. Mr. Buchanan had served with great keenness for a number of years and had interested himself in many facets of the school administration, and his wise counsel will be greatly missed. Mr. Kenneth S. Howard, Q.C., and Mrs, John N. Mappin have been most welcome additions this year and we look forward to profiting happily from their contribution to the successful ongoing of the school. As Staff replacements in September we wel- comed Mr, I. F. G. Ferguson, a graduate of Cam- bridge University, Mr. D. N. McRae retired prin- cipal of Westmount Park School, who returned to the classroom to teach senior history on a part-time basis, Mr. Eric H. Rumsby, a graduate of Sir George Williams University and a French Spe- cialist, Mr. Leigh I. Seville who holds a teaching diploma from Macdonald College, and Mr. E. D. Taylor, a graduate of McGill. Mr. A. l. Moss- Davies returned to us after completing his Master's Degree at the University of Massachussetts. We regret to record that several members of the Staff will be leaving Selwyn House this June. Col. E, Geoffrey Brine's departure will be a sore loss indeed, Colonel Brine has played a major role in the school expansion which followed our move from the downtown location as Director of Middle School Studies. Col. Brine had a distinguished background of military and educational experience before joining us in September, 1962. Born in England and educated at Berkhampstead School and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, he was com- missioned in the Royal Artillery and served with the Italian Expedition Force in World War I. He later saw service in the Waziristan campaign, and served with the Royal Canadian Artillery in World War 2. He taught at the Grove, Lakefield, Ontario and Hillfield School, Hamilton, as well as at Ashbury College, Ottawa, From 1952 to 1962 he was headmaster of the Preparatory School of Bishop's College School, Lennoxville. We at Selwyn House have been most fortunate to enjoy the privilege of his wide experience, his deep understanding of boys and his great enthu- siasm and teaching ability, and the impress of his character on all the boys who have passed through his hands will be a treasure of enduring value. Our deepest thanks to Colonel Brine and our best wishes to him and to his wife for many years of happy and fruitful retirement - with the hope that we may see much of them both on their visits to Montreal from their Vermont retreat. Also leaving at this time are Madame Janine Dorland, Mr. Moss-Davies and Mr. Jeremy Riley. Madame Dorland has been with us for eleven years in charge of Junior French. Her two sons, Michel and Philippe, are graduates of Selwyn House, Madame Dorland has accepted a position as French Specialist in the newly established Dawson College. We extend to her our thanks for all she has contributed to the Junior School over the years and wish her every success in the new and challenging CEGEP world. Mr. Moss-Davies has accepted the position of Director of Education at the Shawbridge Boys' Farm, and Mr. Riley is returning to the university world for post-graduate studies. To both these gentlemen we express our appreciation for their contribution to the school, Mr. Riley over the past two years, and Mr. Moss-Davies for his services of 1966-67 and the present academic year. Good luck to them for all future success. Coxuufg M'l.I1l' R THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 mr! A0111 die Clfmirmarz lt has often been said that bricks and mortar alone cannot make a good school. While this remains as true as it ever was, this issue of the magazine would not be complete without recognition of the landmark in school facilities that was established in i968 - 1969. By now most readers are familiar with the substantial additions and changes to the school property to which I refer. Perhaps not all realize how much personal sacrifice was required to achieve these results, and this is an impersonal age. To the many boys who will be back this September and many Septembers after that I say: Use the new facilities - learn in themg live in themp laugh in them. By doing all three in proper proportion you will be giving those who contributed to the Expansion Fund the nicest thanks they could ask for. David M. Culver S.H.S.

This school has an aim, and so does this magazine, The school's story is told in this annual. This publication has its own little story, too. From October to January, I dreamt about the magazine. Of course, I was not at all sure it could be completed, but other more crucial problems bothered me. I tried to think of interesting articles and attractive ways to present them. For a while, I worked on different teachers for a series of special articles that would have been pieced together with the ones by students. The teachers did not contribute in this area, though, unfortu- nately, The remnants of this opinionated section may provide a good representation of the Selwyn House situation. We tried to reproduce the atmosphere of Selwyn House rather than that of iust any school. The different club and sports articles reflect this Selwyn House touch, but the literary section, perhaps, tries hardest. Since the topic was open , students took it upon themselves to write down their own ideas. They wrote what they thought, rather that what they appear to think or what people want them to think. Obviously, they often do not act accordingly, but they do their best. This makes this section, in my mind, both interest- ing and entertaining, The newspaper and the Student Committee were excitingly encouraging voices. Their success merits repeat performances in '69-'7O. As it ap- pears in this magazine, Spring Session worked wonders for the school. lt brought happiness. All these things are Selwyn House , and is what this magazine is all about. G. T. This article is not intended to overshadow the editorial. Rather, the author is attempting to present several facets of school life which have appeared most noticeable in the past year, First, the Prefects deserve some mention. It is a difficult task to come into Form VII, and take on the duties of a prefect. Hopefully, most of the students will remember the meeting in the Tower Room with three of the prefects. The need for these meetings was an illustration of the problems the Prefects faced. The apparent loss of rapport can perhaps be attributed in some way to the introduction of the Student Committee. I mean not to malign the Committee, but because the members of the executive are all full prefects, conflict is bound to arise between the ideals of both. A Prefect System and a Student Committee are both valuable institutions, but in one year, perfect coexistence is virtually impossible. During the next few years students should take up the challenge presented by progress. To condemn the school is tantamount to admitting defeat. To make the school run efficiently should be a per- sonal challenge to every student. If these last few words sound too idealistic, it is perhaps be- cause I entertain an outlook of distorted op- timism. Pessimism, however, is conducive to per- sonal defeat, hence, a pessimistic attitude is not desirable. JONATHAN BENBOW, Head Prefect SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Annual Academic Prizegiving 14th June 1968 Our graduation ceremonies were again held in two sessions. The afternoon prizegiving for the Junior School and Forms l 8. II is reported else- where on these pages. ln the evening we were honoured with the presence of His Worship M. L. Tucker, D.S.O., Mayor of Westmount, as our guest of honour. Before presenting the prizes, Mayor Tucker addressed his remarks particularly to the graduating class. He expressed the hope that youth would extend their academic and athletic achievements towards conquering the chal- lenges which lie ahead, and he urged those graduating not to reiect out of hand all ideas presented by their elders. Our teachers and parents were not infallible, Mayor Tucker said, but I believe that most of us agree that they, and hopefully we, have batted better than .500.

This mode a beautiful setting for the fine singing that our choirs under the direction of Mr, Gordon Phillips, always present. The only drawback was that the time of 5.00 p.m. reduced the size of our 'audience.' We are very grateful to the Reverend E. A. Kirker and the congregation of St. Andrews for allowing us to hold the service in their beautiful church. The following boys sang as soloists:-R. Hall, W. Bockler, D. McKeown, S. Heathcote, E. Stevenson, C. Shannon, J. Goodall, G, Roper, A. Stewart, B. Chambers, A. Saletes, N. Matheson, M. Culver, N, Bird, M. Roper, T. Claxton, C. Gordon, G. Tombs, F. Nemec and H. Carter. The School Choir Prizewinners last June in the various Form Choirs were as follows:- Form lll .lay Rankin Form Il William Gould Form l Neil Bird Form A Christopher Shannon Form B Brian Wolvin Competition was very keen and congratula- tions are extended to all the above on winning their awards. During the year Speirs House accu- mulated the most points by a large margin. We are most happy to announce that Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Hale have given us a beautiful shield for Inter-House Competition in Choral work. This is a trophy for which we have always had an urgent need and we are deeply grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Hale for their generous gift. On their insistence it will be named the F. Gordon Phillips Trophy and, on it, each year, will be engraved the name of the winning House, and of the out- standing chorister in the Senior School. This year the competition is extremely close and, at the time of writing, Macaulay is leading by one point with Lucas in last place only eight points behind. The final result will depend on the composition of the Prizegiving Choir and the Prize winners.

Three modern laboratories and an art room and five new closs rooms were built. The gymnasium's size was doubled. A subterranean locker room appeared. To link up these areas, a new stairway was constructed. The official opening of the new school was on February llth. A wine and cheese party was held in the new gym to honour the occasion. Parents seemed very satisfied with the outcome of such extensive additions. Some were so impressed that they said they would give T000 more to the school than they had planned. The many additional facilities of course give a broader and more enioycible education and will prove very valuable in ci fast growing world. EOF! THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 debating The twenty-second Selwyn House Oratorical Society commenced its year in the month of September 1968.

N.C.T. 24 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE WINNER OF THE PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION A Misconception It is my firm belief that in the good old days oxen had bigger heads, pigs had better meat, and it rained less. Ah yes, the good old days. Why, those were the days of good personal freedom, Those were the days when the individual still counted as someone. Yes, I remember how I roamed the streets during the depression years. I didn't be- long to any of that trade union stuff, you know. We were all our own masters in those good old days . . . and that's more than I can say for today's dehumanized and mechanized society, you know. In my youth, we had a decent educa- tion, Those were the days of the right pupil- teacher relationship. Why, if we failed a test, we'd be taken into a back room, and be beaten with a hazel brush. And today, well today, we give the young one a mental examination and say he has an emotional stumbling block . I have never heard of such drivel. lf you spare the rod, you spoil the child. After all, look what happened with those nose-picking trouble makers at Sir George Williams University. A good licking on the bee-hind would have stopped all this trouble forever. Ah yes, how I long for the peace of the good old days, Those were the days when the family was still intact. Every Sunday we used to get into our little old locomobile town coupe, and take a bumpy ride to my grandparents. Then we'd sit there for the whole afternoon, drink tea, twiddle our thumbs, and hear Dad talk about the Great War. No sir, there was no generation gap then. And those rides to grandma were fun, too, you know. Why, those were the days of true autocar excitement. We would take our old loco- mobile town coupe, and fly along the country roads - you should have seen those farm hands iump C-why, my uncle killed two of theml. Yes, those were the good old days. And don't think from what l've just said that there was no law and order in those days. Believe me, when I see today's youth on the rampage, and them negroes causing trouble in the ghettos, I wish I were back in the good old days. We didn't let those negroes cause any trouble then - and if they did, the strong arm of the law des- cended upon them, and gave them a . . . ah, lynching's the word. Gentlemen, that kept them in place . , . and you know, the stories of Bonnie and Clyde, the Dillinger Kid, AI Capone, the Mobsters - these stories have all been exag- gerated by the Communists. Sure, these people terrorized the west, but folks, they killed for a living, not like today's thugs who do it for kicks. Yes - how codes of conduct change for the worse. Ladies and Gentlemen, I liked the good healthy atmosphere in those days. Everyone was happy. And today - how do we get our happiness today? Why, when I go along some downtown street, l see all these lurid, lecherous, and corrup- ting movie ads, and you young ones ogling at them, and you teen-agers necking in the parks, and . , . folks, it isn't a laughing matter. In the old days, this kind of immorality didn't exist. No sir - and if you did neck, you at least did it in the back seat of your locomobile town coupe - mo- destly parked beside a deserted scrapyard. We were decent about it and hushed it up - yes folks, I warn you, you are witnessing the Decline of Western Civilization as we know it today. Except for us churchgoing folk, everyone is desti- ned to roast in hell as a pervert. Yes, l guess the times really are a changing, though for the worse . . , and nobody seems to lament this except for Us older folks. And so, we alone, folks, we alone cling to our unshakeable belief that in the good old days oxen had bigger heads, pigs had better meat, and it rained less. Oh, did I tell you how the individual . .. - Peter Genzel FOR THE SCHOOL YEAFl1968'1969 SIHIS SELVVYN HOUSE SCHOOL, OUEBEC 444 444 THE S.H.S. EXAIVIINER: The S. H. S. EXAMINER, the school newspaper of Selwyn House School, is published once a month. Responsible for the paper during the I968 - T969 session were the boys from Form IA under the supervision of the Form Master - Mr. Seville. Specific duties, such as Editor in Chiefp Sports Editor, Arts Editor, and Jokes and Games Editor were allocated to various boys in the class, A flurry of activity was always evident prior to the deadline for submission of articles to the paper, Each edition of the S. H. S. EXAMINER cone tained a variety of articles and information. There were editorials, interviews with Masters, interviews with Senior Boys, sports news, current events, games and jokes. The undertaking of the S. H, S. EXAMINER was a big job, especially for a Form I Class lGrade 5.l It was an exciting and rewarding experience, however. Much was learned in the various techniques of reporting, interviewing, writing and editing. Judging from all reports, the paper seems to have been a success.

IQ .Mx R THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 I Science Fair The Form Ill Science Fair was held in early January of this year. The exhibits, which totalled some 'l8 in number, were judged by Mr. A. Buckmaster, President of the Quebec Chemistry Teachers Association. Mr. Buckmaster found the quality of the entries so high that he experienced considerable difficulty in making a decision. However, after some time, the following prizes were awarded: 'lst Prize to John Odell and Fraser Elliott. 2nd Prize to Charles Rohlicek and John Hastings. 3rd Prize to Malcolm Kilgour and Michael Weil. The winning project was a study in streamlining of automobiles and traced the development of the science from the l92O's to the present. The second prize was a demonstration of the principles of the electric motor in which the magnetic fields of the various coils was cleverly and simply shown. The third prize was a dramatic and effective demonstration of the electric safety fuse. The Fair was iudged a great success and it will be repeated in the coming School Session. 28 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE A Report on the Electronics Club of 1969 This year, for the first time in the history of Selwyn, we decided to run a fully organised elec- tronics club that could be open to any member of Form VI. It was formed to teach boys who were interested in the topic of Physics, the basics of the wide and fast growing electronics field. Introductory kits were purchased from Heathkit to help the boys understand these fundamental laws and formulae as well as make learning them a great deal more interesting. Some of the wonders of electronics were shown to the members of the club when we went on several really fantastic tours. The first of these tours took us out to Dorval where we were shown around the huge Air Canada Base. Here we saw how the engines were assembled, how the pilots were trained, the modern methods of overhauling the jets and innumerable other machines used for the upkeep of planes. Our second tour was to the Canadian Marconi Company. This was particu- larly interesting to us because we could actually see how the parts that we were using in our kits were made, to say nothing of the millions of ways in which they were being used in telecom- munications. Several more tours have been planned for the third term, including one to the General Motors Assembly plant in Ste. Therese. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents of the members and the teachers who so kindly chauffeured us to and from these tours, and I hope that they benefitted from them as much as we did. The Executive of the Club are, President- Tony Tyler, Vice President - Richard Earle, and Treas- urer - Tomi Lang. I would like to thank Richard, Tomi and especially Mr. Ashworth for all their efforts this year with the Club. The other members are: John Alsop, Gerry Boswell, Bruce fDoulton, Tim Dumper, Brian Gentles, J. D. Light, George Stinnes, Nocholas Spillane, Steven Schouella, Logan Savard and Mark Walker. ANTHONY TYLER, President, Electronics Club. SHS Rocket Club The rocket club is the newest and fastest growing organization of our students. It was started in February and there are already over forty members. Model rocketry is a safe, educational and relatively inexpensive hobby. The rockets range from six inches to three feet in length, and are made from paper and balsa. When built properly, they can be launched repeatedly to an altitude between five and twenty-five hundred feet. Model rocketry goes far beyond the elemen- tary stage of launching single-staged rockets. It teaches the same principles upon which the U.S. space program is based. The rocket club is planning to have several launching meets in spring and fall each year. Each meet will be under adult supervision. Most of the launching sites will be iust off the island of Montreal. Because of the tremendous interest shown in Middle and Senior Schools, I anticipate that the club will be a success, and will function for many years to come. J. Brian LUDGATE FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 29 THE ARTS CLUB This is the first year for an Arts Club in Selwyn House. Under the supervision of Mr. Ankum and Mr, Burgess its members have tried to gain a fundamental understanding of what Montreal has to offer in the Art World. The Club has concentrated on the visual arts, but in the creative art field we have had some activity also. We started the club by visiting a display of kinetic sculpture by Francois Dallegret, an experi- mental designer, inventor, and art fictionaliser, who integrates mechanics, electronics, and science into art design. Among his works are designs of electrical clothes, super dragsters, furniture, and adult toys. We went to see an exibit of Henry Moore's sculptures at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. We learned that when Moore makes a sculpture, first he makes a miniature model, called a ma- quette, which is used as a mold to form a hollow, metal duplicate. Thus it is the duplicate, not the original carving, that becomes the work of art. A Montreal artist, George Uhaz, came to our school and demonstrated his brand of artistic expression, Using various colors and shapes of plexiglass, he welds them together using a glue which dissolves the materials. One of his crea- tions now stands in a Montreal Metro station. The Student's Contrary to the opinions of some, the Students' Committee was formed this year as a represen- tative student body, its function being to present and discuss issues concerning the students and the administration. To this end, the Committee has been successful. The concept held by others, appa- rently, was that the Students' Committee should be a radical, opinionated faction, willing to use any means to impress their proposals upon other people. By no means should the Committee be a Puppet Council as many individuals believe it is. If these people are sufficiently firm in their convictions, they should try to change this image. By retrospection, one can see that those who had a distorted impression of the Students' Commit- tee were the individuals who lacked enthusiasm and were to apathetic to examine more closely the role of the Committee. lf the students feel that the Students' Com- mittee is not wholely representative of their opi- nions, every effort should be made by students to achieve a committee purely representative of students. The fact that the Committee is made up of nine elected class captains in addition to house Another, which he made during his visit, has taken its place in our school's new art room. We were recently shown around an exiloition of Rembrandt and his contemporaries. We learned of some of the distinguishing traits of Rembrandt's style, and saw his influence in the works of his students. We wish to thank Mrs. Barker and Mrs. Scott, who acted as guides on three occasions and made our tours interesting and educational. Some members of the Arts Club have created their own works of art. Three boys submitted entries to the United Nations Art Contest, each entry portraying some aspect of the Declaration of Human Rights. The Arts Club recently gave a showing of five movies made by two of its members. Guy Tombs and Jean Selye had spent many hours filming and editing these movies, using serious themes, humourous plots, and imaginative filming tech- niques. One film had more than one hundred splicings! When music was synchronized with the films, they were very enjoyable. The duo has plans for future movie-making, and we wish them luck. We think they have great potential. John FRICKER and J. Brian LUDGATE Committee captains is sufficient support to the contention that the Committee is representative. Again, if students feel that the Committee is not dynamic or sufficiently stubborn in requesting changes, then it is their responsibility to alter the function, or if all else fails, to dissolve the Com- mittee. However, to do this is nothing more than an admission of defeat in the struggle for student representation, and as such, it would be a denial of the opportunity to air their opinions. ln a private institution, financially maintained by parents and not students, the latter should respect a forum for their opinions as a priviledge rather than a basic right. lf this resume of the Students' Committee appears conservative by modern standards, it is because I believe that more can be achieved, in any course, by debate and compromise. lf the Students' Committee is conducted with these principles in mind, rather than depending on strength in numbers, it will be a more effective institution. Jon BENBOW 30 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE THE PROS AND CONS OF CANING P R O At the present time corporal punishment is an integral part of the disciplinary system of this school. What is its purpose, and does it fulfil that purpose? Why is corporal punishment used? Should corporal punishment be abolished in this school? I propose to examine and answer these questions. Corporal punishment is used to discipline the wrongdoers of our school, As much, it is supposed to cause them to realize and right their wrong- doing and avoid such wrongdoing in the future. In this way it is extremely effective since nobody goes around looking for a caning. On the other hand, there is some abuse of the system by masters who cane for trivial offences. This reduces the effectiveness ofthe system since caning should be an unusual punishment to be fully effective. Corporal punishment is used because it takes advantage of a protective device that has been built into us by ages of evolution, that is, pain. This is an obvious mechanism to use to insure discipline and aid training. Finally, should corporal punishment be abo- lished in this school? I believe it should not. If corporal punishment is to be abolished, it must be replaced by another system such as maturity of the boys, Therefore, we might as well retain corporal punishment because the school will never reach such a plane of maturity since there will always be that one in the crowd who ruins things for the rest of the people. If this sort of situation disappears, it will then be the time to take action, but not now since corporal punishment is neces- sary and therefore, still used. - Stewart PATCH CON Why is caning retained at SHS? Is it a plot to have a fear eternally hovering in the air to keep the boys out of mischief or from inciting a rebellion? There is a cause. Otherwise, it would have disappeared long ago. It is a disciplinary meas- ure so that it is logical to think that it is still used for disciplinary reasons. Since we have maintained why it is still in use, we must proceed to the more personal side. ls this beating, either by fishing rod, horsecrop, or ruler really effective? Does the recipient, ob- viously bruised physically and mentally, become a so-called better person after the thrashing? The conditioned Selwyn Hauser laughs at the question grotesquely, out of fear, enioyment, or iust plain stupidity while the non-Selwyn Houser answers a flat no! The answer is, oddly enough, no, to the surprise ofthe SHSer. Among numerous cases in a current study, the recipients showed either no reaction save an in- creased disrespect of the master responsible, or being very emotional, began to hate him, Rarely did the student seriously admit that he had truly learned something from the expecience Cabout one in thirty casesl. Before each such punishment, the perceptive teacher should analyze the pupil, and see if he has found that unusual student, and go right ahead and see what happens. Continued subiection to this sort of treatment produces a type of immunity - no result. This happens after about three times. Anyone can see that if Joe Schmoe has been caned twenty-five times as one senior has, there is no point in making that twenty-six. Most of the canings are to these multiple- case boys. lf a student reaches four canings, it is quite forseeable that he will go on to ten or more experiences, each leading to the next as a reac- tion, and all pointing toward an extreme laissez- faire attitude. A suitable and effective alternative would be some truly constructive work, perhaps in the line of maintenance of the school, washing floors for example, This would work much better than any grotesque caning. Let's face it readers, no one deserves this type of brutality. - Guy TOMBS R THE OL AR 1968-19 Spring Session '69 Anybody who has an eye for persuasive business tactics would readily admit that the success of Spring Session '69 depended on Mr. Ashworth's psychedelic tickets. These tickets and the lapel buttons, Cdesigned by someone who prefers to remain anonymous,l were the factors in deciding the ultimate success of Spring Session '69 The idea of having a venture somewhat simi- lar to a high school winter carnival surprised many people. The Spring Session Committee, after six weeks of running around in circles, spent the last week running in a straight line, to the end that Spring Session '69 was finally organised on March 20, 21, 22. A debate, volleyball games, a chicken dinner, a dance, and a ski trip was what Spring Session '69 was all about, If people enjoyed themselves, then as far as the Committee is concerned, Spring Session was successful. 69 31 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Career Talks This year the career talks involved Law, Teaching, and Science. Mr. Justice Gold came to us in the fall to discuss, humorously, the problems and rewards of law as cl profession. He stressed that being bilingual was essential if one intended to be a lawyer in Quebec. Later that term Mr. Harley, from MacDonald College discussed the different educational requi- rements of teaching in Quebec and about various places where a teaching degree could be receiv- ed. He advised getting a B.A. before beginning to teach.. ln the Easter term Mr. Light gave us a detailed account of the mechanical technology in which he is involved ldraftsmanship, etc.J. He posed interesting puzzles that were the type encountered by a draftsman. G.M.T. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 33 JUNIOR FIREFIGHTERS COURSE Again this year the Westmount Fire Department held a course for Junior Firefighters and twelve boys from Selwyn House attended this course. The course included lectures, movies and demonstration of various fire-fighting apparatus and equipment. The boys enioyed this course very much and are much indebted to Deputy Chief Motard and his men for the helpful and interesting time. On March 24th graduating exercises were held at which time the following boys received certificates and plaques : - John Flemming . O Paul Baillargeon Byron Onassis both with IOOA Paul Tinari Nicholas Rose Peter Stolting David Creighton Jeffrey Kenwood Charles Rider Saxe Brickenden Alex. Just Nick. Roberts TRIBUNE LIBRE Nietzsche, in the future of Educational Institu- tions , made the following statement, regarding the methods of teaching languages: People deal with it as if it were dead languages . . . the living body of language is sacrified for the sake of anatomical study . His voice cried in the wilderness, as it is only since the recent development of linguistics and psychology that the approach to the teaching of languages has been totally renewed. Linguists do not believe any more in the use of analytical methods, as a language is now being considered as a set of behaviour patterns within is now being considered as a set of behaviour patterns within a particular cultural context, un decoupage par- ticulier de la realite , its purpose is to commu- nicate rather than to provide a source of esthetic ioy. Since natural language is spoken language, the emphasis has been placed on an audio-oral approach: La langue est avant tout une realite orale . Various methods are now being offered, that want to provide this required automaticity, this instant availibility, - of a Mc Luhanian quality - in handling the various elements of language, the principes de base being derived from the various discoveries regarding the acquisitions of the mother tongue: ll the learning of structures rather than vocabulary 2l the importance of rythm and intonation 31 passage to the written forms, pure transposition of the chaine parlee , taking place after the establishment of a solid linguistic base.

They will not become bilingual, as biling- ualism-if it exists-cannot be acquired in a class room milieu but, they will acquire, within the class room, in the course of a 3 year program fproviding that certain conditions are fulfilledl a definite spontaneity in oral expression and a fluency that was impossible to obtain with the old traditional method.

SENIOR FOOTBALL NOTES 1968 Out of a possible 70 boys who are eligible to play football only 15 showed up to play for the team. This wasn't even enough for two units, meaning some boys had to play both ways all the time. However we stuck together and were able to have a very good team spirit. SELWYN HOUSE vs STANSTEAD-WON 25 - 12 Our first game of the season was played in a torrid heat at Stanstead College. A balanced offence and defence quickly put us ahead by two touchdowns. Then John Grossman sustained a severe knee iniury that unfortunately put him out of action for the remainder of the season. Duncan Campbell was called upon to lead the team, and with a medley of only two plays, as well as the strong running of both Benbow and Shannon, we managed to score two more touchdowns and win the game. SELWYN HOUSE vs ASHBURY -LOST 48 - 0 The second game of the year was the worst of any. Ashbury ran around us, under us, over us, and even through us. However during the last minutes of the game we started to move the ball on passes. The drive started at our twenty yard line with Shannon and Capping making some amazing catches. We managed to get to their twenty yard line in about six plays but the whistle blew to end the game. The final score was 48-0. SELWYN HOUSE vs BlSHOP'S-WON 26-0 The third game was the best of the season. We were in a two game total point series against Bishop's for the Norsworthy Cup. Thanks to the great blocking of the line and the fine running of Shannon and Benbow we were able to take the lead. The first touchdown came on a 75 yard run by Shannon. The next one came on a 50 yard pass and run play between Roy and Shannon. The same two combined again on an extension play covering 10 yards for the score. To round off the scoring, a twenty yard pass was thrown to Capping. The defense led by Usher-Jones and Roy stopped Bishops three times on our 5 yard line. The final score was 26-0, SELWYN HOUSE vs ASHBURY - LOST 18 - 0 The fourth game that we played was against Ashbury and was a much better game than our first encounter with them. If it was not for a couple of irrational plays we might have beaten them. We managed to keep them from scoring for most of the first half, but as they say you cannot keep a good team from scoring. The final score was 18-0. SELWYN HOUSE vs BISHOPS- LOST 21 - 19 The second game of the total point series was played at Bishops. This was the closest game we played all year but we did not win. On the second play of the game, Bishops ran around the end for 60 yards and a touchdown, As soon as we had control of the ball we countered with Shannon for 45 yards, and the next play, he went over for the touchdown. It must be noted that John Benbow played his best game of the season in making some excellent runs up the middle and around the end. Miller and Scott made some fine de- fensive plays. The final score was 21-19 for them, but we managed to win over all 45-21 and to retain the Norsworthy Cup. SELWYN HOUSE vs STANSTEAD - LOST 13 - 6 The final game was marred by penalties. Stanstead out-played us during the whole game and we were unable to get on track. They stopped our ground attack and when we dropped back to pass there was a tremendous rush which re- sulted in interceptions. The final score was 13-6. Special mention must be made to Mr. Maclean and especially Mr. Anderson, who is not able to return to coaching due to his business. He has served the school faithfully for six years in both football and hockey. The boys whom he has coached have benefitted from his talent and his dynamic spirit.

SENIOR FOOTBALL FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 41 BANTAM FOOTBALL 1968 Annually, this section of our magazine makes the prophesy-Wait Until Next Year- and then recaps the successes and failures of the team. Once more the monotony of the seer's prediction is advanced. Once more we must wait until next year. Once more we have had a crushing season. However, Next Year, it is up to every individual who comes out for football to help prove that our school is worthy of being ranked as one of the best all-round schools in the province. The success of any team sport depends upon the co-operation of the players, coaches, and spectators. There were, on the part of many players, many hours of work, much effort, and tremendous sacrifice, lt requires real desire for a boy to come out for the team only to be subiect- ed to the hard drills on fundamentals, to the hat exercises, and the repetitions of plays. To do all this and see your friends having fun is not much of a reward unless you happen to be on the team that after many frustrations, the light of victory suddenly shines, or you come up with an eighty yard run, or you make the key tackle. No, success for this year's team was not in the vic- tories, but in the perseverance, the co-operation, and the desire in the face of the odds. To depart from our annual form, we can look at the successes for these were the consequences of our losses-our failures. The games against Lower Canada. Wagar, and Bishop's were indi- cations of the esprit de corps that the Bantams had. Though we lost to L.C.C., the blocking and the hard tackling were exceptionally good. lt was the first time that everyone knew what the game of football was all about. Toward the end of the season, we experienced our greatest success by holding our sectional winner to a T2 to O win. Once more, crisp block- ing and savage tackling characterized the game. Truly fthough we were defeated on the score- boardl, this was an exciting success. Our final game, against B.C.S., was our only scoreboard victory and ended the season success- fully in many senses. First, the victory was the obvious success. Second, all the hours of drills on blocking, tackling, and play timing paid dividends as everyone did an exceptional and flawless iob. Finally, the moral success- the value of work- could be seen. Coach's Comment Unfortunately, our team finds itself each year in the central section of the G.M.l.A.A., a section which perenially produces strong teams. However, despite hardships, the boys on the team deserve great praise for individual sacrifice and effort. Every boy who turned out and remained with the team made a valuable contribution. Many boys deserve praise for individual achievements during the season, ln the backfield, Light, MacDougall, R., Tyler, Chambers, Doulton, MacDougal, J., and Cooper did a good job hand' ling the ball. However, without the work of the linemen, Doulton, Keefer, Dibben, Dopking and Groome, we would not have had any measure of success. There were numerous others who worked hard and merit recognition. Those rookies with the team, perhaps, gained many attitudes and much knowledge from the veteran players and maybe, NEXT YEAR . .. G.C.l.B.

Nevertheless, the boys were anxious to compete, and we made the most of rwo forty minute periods, on Mondays and Wednesdays, to play together as a team. SELWYN HOUSE vs L.C.C. - TIED 0 - O Ous first game, against L.C.C., terminated in a scoreless tie. We were in control of the game for a great deal of the time, but our problem was finishing off the plays. SELWYN HOUSE vs SEDBERGH -LOST 3 - 0 On October 5, we travelled to Sedbergh where we met a very determined and well balanced team. We lost the game by 3 to O. Our main weakness was not being able to get to the ball first. Our forwards had a few good shots on net, and Andrew Phillips on the right wing hit the goalpost, SELWYN HOUSE vs ST. GEORGE'S-WON 2 -O The first game against St. George's was played in Trenholme Park, and it proved to be our first win. The team played well together with the half- backs and defence keeping the ball well up field. We won 2 to 0 with Tim Paul and Norman Tobias scoring for S.H.S. SELWYN HOUSE vs SEDBERGH -LOST 4 - 2 October 16 was the return date with Sed- bergh at S.H.S. We were ready for them this time, and with only fifteen minutes left, we were one goal ahead. A bad call in substitution proved costly to the team, as Sedbergh came from behind to win by 4 to 2. SELWYN HOUSE vs L.C.C. - LOST 2 - 0 The next day, we played the return match against l..C.C. Our ever sure halfback line of Roy Hastings, Edward Segalowitz, and Steven Schouela found the muddy conditions unsettling, ?all control was bad, and the result was a 2-O loss or us. SELWYN HOUSE vs ST. GEORGE'S-WON 4 -O The return match with St. George's saw our team on the winning road again. Our problem throughout the season had been mainly our for- wards' controlling and shooting of the ball. We were one goal ahead in the middle of the second half when by switching Andre Telio to centre forward from halfback, we became a goal scoring team. Andre, with his cool disposition and good eye for the ball scored three goals in less than twenty minutes. Final score was 4-O in our favour. SELWYN HOUSE vs B.C.S. - TIED 0 - O On October 30, we were hosts to B.C.S. Though the game ended in a scoreless tie, we came very close to scoring many times since the goal keeper was not familiar with the ruling of being chal- lenged outside his crease. SELWYN HOUSE vs S.H.S. STAFF ALL-STARS- WON 2 - 0 The final game was against the Staff All-Star team which this year boasted of many past greats! The Senior Soccer Team was bolstered by mem- bers of the Senior Football Squad who provided the beef needed to withstand a Staff onslaught. The final score was 2-O in favour of the school. The Staff All-Stars scored two goals, but for some mysterious reasons known only to the referee, they were called back. Poor light conditions forced an early ending of the game, iust as the staff was gaining their 'fourth wind' and exerting tremend- ous pressure on the school's defence. This proved to be the first staff defeat in five years! Three boys namely: - Roy Hastings Ccaptj, Tim Paul, and Douglas Dawson were selected as being outstanding in their performances through- out the season and received Senior Colours. To single out boys for colour awards was very diffi- cult, since every one of the boys gave their utmost during every game, and one cannot ask more than that from anyone. Spirit was always high, and the enjoyment of playing soccer experienced by the boys gave me one of the most rewarding seasons as a soccer coach. Team members werei- A Hastings i fcaptj, Fox, Parker, Schouela i, Schouela ii, Dawson, Segalowitz, Telio, Fricker, Paul, Phillips, Boyd, Kivestu, James, Tobias, London. J.M.L. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR1968-1969 45 UNDER THIRTEEN SOCCER The U.l3 soccer team had a season of mixed fortune. Starting with a largely inexperienced team, the lack of practice fields was a great drawback. Add to this the fact that the maiority of the teams we played were older and larger and it is no surprise that we lost so many games. Despite these drawbacks the boys on the team showed excellent spirit, and never gave up. The standard of positional play and skills improved, and this was the one redeeming feature of the otherwise disappointing season, and reflects much credit upon the individuals on the team. Paddy Kent fgoal keeperl Paddy did not take long to settle down and cannot be blamed for the losses received. He made many fine saves during the course of the year, Jonathan Goldbloom fleft backl Jon combined intelligent positional play with some degree of E.S.P. He played well throughout the season. Bill Turner fright backl Bill played a strong and intelligent game at ful back throughout the season. Skills, position and ball distribution improved unusually, and he should be a play maker of next year's team. Taylor Gray fleft halfl Always self-critical, Taylor was never satisfied with his game, although there was seldom reason for this disatisfaction. He was by far the most adept member of the team at heading the ball. Grey Meadowcroft fcentre halfl Grey played an excellent season at centre half. His intelligent positional play and good ball distribution was a great asset to the team. Eric Kaplan fright halfi Eric's skills improved as the season progressed, but his strong point was intelligent positional play which made up for much of his lack of skill. Fraser Elliot fleft wingj After a slow start, Fraser gained confidence and developed a fine pass to our centre forward. Dean Bremner and Michael Thau finside leftl They alternated at inside left and showed promise for the future. John Williams fcaptain-centre forwardl Despite his injury at the beginning of the season, John was a good captain on and off the field. When playing, he was the most dangerous forward and was sorely missed when unable to play. Danny Schouela finside rightl Our smallest player, Danny, had difficulty with the large opposition, but never gave up. John Odell fright wingl John, a key performer on our team, improved as the season progressed. He had a very good year. A.M. - D. NIOR HOCKEY 46 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZI FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 SENIOR HOCKEY Selwyn House was represented this past season by one of the best spirited teams that ever played for the school. From November to March, this team showed extremely good spirit and sportsmanship. At the beginning of the season, some people were saying that the team would not win a game all year, but when the team heard this, it worked all the harder, When a player made a mistake, the team did not iump on his back, but pointed out how he could improve himself. When- ever a player did well, he was congratulated. It was these little things that made true team effort and spirit. We played in all eighteen games against the top teams in and around the island of Montreal. Our record was 7 wins and ll losses, but at least five of these game last could have gone in our favour. Our play was highlighted by deft stickhand- ling by Craig Shannon and Jamie Capping as well as strong defensive work by Brian Roy. The nets were guarded this year by Brian Gentles and George Stinnes. But it was not only the players on the team who worked hard, but also our coach, Mr. Burgess. He believed in the team enough to devote his time and energy to developing us into a moulded unit. Selwyn House is very fortunate to have such a man, and the team sincerely thanks him for his leadership. The bays who played regularly on the team were : Goal - Gentles, Stinnes. Defence - Roy Ccaptainl, Campbell fassistantl, Hastings, Nicholson, Disher. Forward - Shannon Cassistanti, Capping, Benbow, Scott, Tobias, Chuckly, O'Hearn, Kivestu. Hockey Colours: Brian Roy, Jamie Capping, Craig Shannon, Duncan Campbell. SENIOR HOCKEY COACH COMMENTS lt was what many thought an inauspiciaus start for the Senior Hockey team in late Novem- ber, There were seven, or eight, members of this team who had not played a great deal of organ- ized hockey prior to this season, and there were only four members of previous teams returning. Many speculations were made about the record that this group would compile, but most people forgot to consider carefully the intangible qual- ities of sacrifice and desire. This spirit and willing- ness to work enabled this team to prove itself against some of the stiffest competition. When an error constantly was being made, many indi- viduals would devote much time on the natural ice to eliminate them. Recapitulating all the highlights of this season would not enable me to do iustice to what I felt was the real spirit of this year's Seniors. lt was in many respects one of the finest TEAMS l have been associated with. By the perseverence of every individual, this team moulded itself into a unit which measured up exceptionally well against some of the best G. M, l. A. A. teams in Montreal. For the first time since l have come to Selwyn House we defeated a team in the senior classification of this league. As a team, the seniors overcame difficulties and lack of expe- rience by their hard work, their spirit, and their desire. They never gave up. These are the qual- ities which measure leaders and winners, and as a team they proved themselves winners. The future holds a greater challenge for those who graduate this year, however, if you apply yourselves as you did in hockey l am sure you will do well. Next year, the Senior Team will have a sizeable group of experienced players - both from this year's team and the Bantam team. The experience should provide a good foundation for the Seniors next year. However, future players must be willing to work if they wish to equal the achievements of this year's team. 48 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE BANTAM HOCKEY 1968-69 What is the purpose of a school team? ls it to provide a situation in which boys who so desire may learn the intricacies of a game and develop their individual skills at it, and then measure their learning plus native capacity against others of their age? Or, is it a group put together to win, at all costs, games played against all comers, to the greater honour of their school? lf the former, then we had a season which was only partially successful, as much more could have been learned if there had been a greater willingness on the part of the team to follow sug- gestions offered. If the latter, then we had a very successful season indeed. Our record was: 9 wins, 4 losses, and 2 ties. The help given by Messrs. Elridge and Burgess, and that of Geoff Hale, who was our manager, is very much appreciated.

Before the season had begun, the schedule, the teams, and their captains and assistant captains had been decided, The teams, the Leafs, Wings, Rangers, Hawks, Canadiens, and Bruins, were made up mainly with form fours. The form fives played once a week. Every three hockey days two teams would travel to Montreal West for instruc- tion. There rinks were used regularly - McGill, Montreal West, and Westmount. Each team played eight regularly scheduled games and one playoff game. The season opened with two exciting ties, Rangers and Bruins with six apiece, and the Hawks and Canadiens played to a five all tie. The season continued, often interrupted by other activities. Two mid-season drafts were held, ln the first, the cellar team, the Wings, chose James McCal- lum. ln the second, the Red Wings took Eric Kaplan and Geoffrey Hale was chosen by the Canadiens. Scott Robertson, the Hawk goaler shut out the Bruins 6-0 in a fantastic showing in regular season play. The most goals in one game was fifteen by the Rangers. The most goals in one game by a player was seven by Greg Hannon of the Rangers. Greg also lead the scoring for the whole year with 36 goals. The playoff games were between the Rangers and Bruins, Wings and Hawks, and Leafs and Canadiens. The leading scorer in the playoffs was Wilks Keefer with a fantastic showing of seven goals, two assists. The season ended December 18. The final standings are below. P. W. L. T. F. A. Pts.

MEADOWC ROFT The Selwyn House School Rinky-Dink Hockey League: Junior Division This is the rather formal name given to the hockey league in which all of Form Ill participated this year. It was a new innovation and one which, I think, was very well received. The whole opera- tion was presided over by the Commissioner, Mr. Becker. He ruled with a firm hand and, fortuna- tely, was not called upon to settle any maior disputes. Together with Mr. Becker, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Moss- Davies and Mr, Eldridge acted as referees and playing coaches. Actually, the number of masters had to be reduced to three, because, after the third game, Mr. Moss-Davies decided to retire from the competition in favour of his trampoline. Penalties were few and the rules were not fol- lowed in an orthodox manner. On the whole, the refereeing was slightly preiudiced in favour of the team with the master. The league was comprised of six teams of about seven players each. The name and captain of each team was chosen by the players them- selves. Trading was allowed, but, except in one case, all the trades were arbitrarily made by Mr. Becker in an attempt to even out the teams. Team spirit was high, but the teams usually managed to cheer eachother at the finish of the game. The games were played at three rinks: McGill, Verdun, and Montreal West. The school rented the ice for one hour every week, Before each game a practice or a drill of hockey skills took place for about twenty minutes. tMr. Eldridge has become famous for his three-quarter hour prac- ticesl The games were played with enthusiasm and the scores generally were high. There were ten games in the schedule and here's how the final standings looked: W. L. T. Pts.

SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE The Inter-House Ski Meet This year's House Ski Meet was held in St. Sauveur on a very cold February 4th, The cold hampered the racers and so only a two run Slalom was held for the Seniors and only a one run for the Intermediates. The Senior event was won by Duncan Campbell with Bill Ainley second and the Intermediate class was won by Mark Culver with Paul Mayer second. The all important House scores were as follows : - l.

Speirs 32.30 S K I T E A M Q FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 1 GYM NASTICS Gymnastics started this year later than in past years, due to the construction of our new gym. With the added space, the new gym provided an opportunity to implement a broader programme for all boys. An excellent inter-house competition was held with a good representation from all three sections of the school. This year, for the first time, we enhanced the gym display by holding the finals of all three house competitions at the conclusion of each display. The result was most rewarding both from the spectators' and participants' point of view. The finalists gave their best efforts in front of an appreciative audience. With the added attraction of the house finals in the gym display, we held three separate dis- plays: - Junior on Thursday, 17th April and the Intermediate and Senior on the afternoon and evening respectively on Friday 18th April. Awards were presented at the Junior Display by Mrs. Paterson, at the Intermediate by Mr, Gray and at the Senior by Mr. Mappin. These displays demand- ed three special gym squads each, selected from the three levels of the school, together with a special trampoline squad under Mr. Moss Davies direction. A new award was donated this year by our Chairman, Mr. Culver, and was awarded to the outstanding gymnast in the Middle School. Although the sport of trampolining is easy to begin, it requires much time and dedication at the more advanced level. To date we have made great strides and should advance quickly with the help of the new safety belt. Twisting front somersaults are being per- fomed by several boys, and double somersaults, twisting backs and codys are very close to com- pletion. By the end of the year we hope to be able to demonstrate these advanced stunts. B. Kishfy and J. Odell deserve special mention for their efforts on the trampoline.

We have had quite a busy year in the field of sports, and on the whole, we have done very well. All the school terms now offer a wide variety of sport activities, as should be. The fall term saw two football and soccer teams playing for the school. The senior team in football played exhibition games, but were ham- pered throughout the season by a lack of man- power. The bantams, playing in the league, had also to rely mostly on a few players - some- thing that should not happen. I would like to see the formation of a strong iunior team that would represent the school in the league. The soccer teams, as usual, were very strong, and the chance to send these teams into the league should not be neglected. The winter months, we had two hockey teams and a new basketball team formed, The hockey was played well this year, and looks very pro- mising for next year, as the various levels of Summary hockey in the school are now producing boys who have had a great deal of experience. The basketball team showed great possibilities, and no doubt next year, with an early start, the team will be top rate. The skiing was weak this year due to a lack of solid practice, especially in the cross-country, but with continued drive, Selwyn House should once again be at the top. The summer term sees the track and rugger teams representing the school. These events we are always strong in, as numbers do not matter too much, and we can participate on equal ground with the other schools. Finally, I feel that Selwyn House should not rely only on individuals, and I urge all boys to go out and show that we are more than capable to participate in the various sports that we do. I thank all the coaches of all the teams for their time and effort, and especially Mr. Lewis who organizes all the sports activities. Duncan CAMPBELL LITERARY CONTEST WINNERS SENIOR SCHOOL Prose 'Ist John Pearce 2nd David Runkle Verse lst Peter Genzel 2nd Jon Benbow MIDDLE SCHOOL The number of entries were most disappointing Prose Ist A. Stewart Verse Ist J. Henderson JUNIOR SCHOOL Ist R. Rohlicek Holden had read this quotation, but did not that these adults sent their children to his school 56 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Lord, What Fools These Mortals Be! believe in it as he was quite optimistic about the state of man. This was before his family had moved into a new home in Yorkdale Heights, a nouveau riche section high on top of Riverside Hill in Ottawa. From there he could see the Ottawa River meandering through the city which was spread out before him. Holden was to attend a private school in the autumn. Holden was very eager to start school, as he had heard that many leaders in industry and commerce had graduated there, and that one received a very good education at the school. He enioyed himself for the first few weeks as his classmates were friendly, and the work was not too difficult, but he had begun to discover a few flaws in the school. The discipline was very strict, which Holden did not mind when it concerned important rules, but he was becoming increasing- ly alienated against the petty little rules to which so much emphasis was attached, and the teachers that strictly enforced them. It was not only the school which alienated him, but also, the atmosphere of Yorkdale Heights, which he thought was very false. Some of the parents of his school friends were more concerned with their own social life than with the welfare of their children. He soon arrived at the conclusion iust because they wanted status. Holden had now come to hate Yorkdale Heights, because of the hypocrisy that existed there. Every morning, the school assembled in the gymnasium for prayers, and the principal read out important notices. In March, a special speaker came to one assembly to address the student body, His name was Mr. Culson, whose family was extremely wealthy and was one of the founding families of Ottawa. Holden knew that Culson had never done a stitch of hard work in his life, but he lectured on how hard they should work in order to succeed. Holden was almost nauseated by this, but was more sickened when the principal of the school commended the speech and said how each of the boys should look to Mr. Culson as an example of a man who had obtained his high position through hard work. Holden finished the last term at this school, but refused to return the following autumn. He had now learned the real meaning of the quota- tion which he had read one year before. JOHN PEARCE AWARDED FIRST PRIZE LITERARY CONTEST DESTINATION I stopped walking. There was nothing around in my white world but a stone wall in front of me. I climbed over the wall into a labyrinth of large boulders and sheets of sharp steel. I could not move. When I tried to climb over the boulders, I would fall but there would be no pain. The steel cut me, but there was never any blood. A boulder rolled over me and crushed my body, but there was no pain. A mist settled and I could not breathe. I stopped struggling, and the boulders and steel cleaved away leaving a path to my un- known destination. I ran to the light with my heart pounding... My destination was a sheer cliff. I cried out. I tried to return but my path had closed up and I fell off the precipice. But I didn't drop like a stone, I floated down, down to the bottom. I did not want this moment to end. Before I hit the rocks, my world became a blurr . . , My world became black except for the fiick- ering of the fire around me. I cried out but I did not hear my screams. This was my destination. I had entered the realms of Satan - his great kingdom-Hell. Never again would I see the bright rays of the sun nor would I ever see the green of the trees., My life had ended . .. H I was dead. DAVID RUNKLE 2nd PRIZE FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 57 FOI' FUl'theI' Refel'eI'1Ce Yes, agreed the book. The New Library is certainly an improvement. It is a much more spacious and attractive room now, and look at the facilities: good working tables, comfortable chairs, and even some study cubicles. That really gives a relaxed yet industrious atmosphere to the students that come here. They can rest between classes, work during study periods, have meetings, and do homework after school ...though of course they must leave at 4:15. Why is that? lt sometimes seems a little ridiculous, doesn't it? The book brushed some dust off its cover. But there is a reason for it. There has to be some sort of supervision in the library at all times, to prevent.. . well, you know, lt's a rule. But why couldn't they use the honour system? Students would sign for books and student librarians would check them out, help with the filing system, and make sure that nothing goes wrong. And once in a while a teacher could check in. l suppose that would be a good idea, mused the book. lt would work for senior boys, anyway. Look at those two over there, doing research on literature and chemistry, That's funny . . .we don't have any books on those subjects, especially for boys in form six or seven. You don't? Nag not yet, anyway. We don't have many reference books at all, and it seems to me that except for the encyclopedias, the senior boys hardly use any of them. That l shall never understand. What reference books do you have? There is a very ample religious section, be- sides texts like The National Reference Book On Canadian Business Personalities and The Who's Who of 1951. But there are some teachers who are trying to bring in some books for their res- pective subjects, and a group called The Students' Project Society which is raising money to bring in some new blood. They could really help this library. lf only a few of your books are reference, what are all the rest? Fiction, of course! answered the book. As I see it, a school library should have two types of books: reference and fiction. And we certainly have fiction: alot of it is English stuff, you know, but each year we get a few new Canadian and American books. lt's strange, though, the senior boys don't much go for our fiction, either. Some- thing about it not being up to their level, and they're the ones that say it has great potential, and all it needs is support! Anyway, the younger students certainly enjoy us. In fact, just in this last school year l've been taken out twice. You have? Who are you? Me l'm Forge of Foxenby by R. A. H.

MICHAEL O'HEARN 8- PETER GENZEL Deep Purple The Electric Circus was born a day before New Year's. lt consisted of a total sound system- radio, record player, tape recorder, microphones, speakers-and for most of the day came the sound of music, New Year's Eve heard little of the Electric Circus, but it was humming again the next day. The creator of this bizarre arrangement was a boy who could be classified as model. He was a good student, athlete, and a leader of the fine school he attended. He always did everything perfectly and never got into trouble. But he was true to Newton's Third Law - to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction -thus the Electric Circus. The Circus was formulated to combat a problem that had shaken his character since Christmas. While skiing, he had met a girl whom he liked, but she did not realize this, and re- mained oblivious to his affection, He tried every- thing to gain her attention, but to no avail. The holiday ended and they parted com- pany . New Year's Eve was fun but not terrific, and to solve his sorrow, he created the Circus. He stayed in there for hours at a time just de- signing new and improved sound systems. He did not want to go skiing, as there was no purpose. School returned, and a total change overcame him, he lagged at everything - having no motive to work. He tried to amuse himself by throuwing darts at pictures of teachers and just generally cursing them, The Circus blared even more at night, and he became preoccupied with it and not his school work. He went out for long drives or walks, just thinking of the great failure that had beset him. He almost cried himself to sleep every night just thinking of her. He tried everything to perhaps goin her attention. He wrote anonymous letters, just slightly hinting at who had sent them. He tried to meet her accidentally by guessing where she was. All his plans failed, but he continued to send the letters, On one of his walks, he sat down alone on a park bench, just staring at the snow gently falling. He thought of all the times he had failed in trying to do something worthwhile, and why he could not succeed in doing so. Then, a gentle hand was softly laid on his shoulder, and she sat down beside him. She did not speak, but sat there holding his hand. Then he spoke of his failures, school, the Circus, and the letters. He spoke of how people must realize that they need each- other, and how young people are the most callous of all, not letting others into their own little society. He talked of the problem of making the jump between the world ofa child, and that of an adult, alone, He spoke of how he was only a clown to everyone, no one respected him, nor did anyone care for him. He told her how he liked to live-simply-just the type of person the young society would not accept. She listened to everything he said, and quiet- ly she took him home through the gentle snow. That night the Electric Circus was silent. DUNCAN CAMPBELL 58 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE TOII 23 Time: 0400 hours.

But no, things cannot be that bad: Yesterday our blind ruler declared that he is looking into the future with much confidence. But what does our hope then have to do in this land? Brought here by a parental moment of forgetfulness, he now sits in his plush, well- equipped, and complacent coffin. What does he have to do in his land where progress means going upwards, not forwards? Where affluence thrives beside squalor. Where poverty with a smothered voice sqeals from the bottom of the whipped cream bowl: Progress is upwards. And where, consequently, a moon rocket is shot up- wards to confirm the fact that the moon is in- hospitable-while back below rats find tene- ments very hospitable. It is thus understandable that our hope of the future grinds dentures in anger. For our hope has no future. PETER GENZEL What do you hide behind? I hide behind an old grey sweater, a large amount of hats, a bandana, a railroad, and Runkle. Everyone hides behind something, the most popular being beards or moustaches. Al- though they do not show it, the most famous people are all this type of coward. They have so much responsibility and power, that it becomes necessary to maintain their security and peace of mind. The unfortunate part of this is that most people pretend not to have this feeling, and instead they resort to a false personality to try and prove to their friends that it is not hap- pening to them, the feeling of insecurity. How- ever, they are in fact trying to prove to them- selves that it is not happening, but it is, and it gets worse. But if you have some little idiosyn- cracy that is plainly visible, such as your own railroad, everyone realizes this and in turn you have solved your own insecurity by gaining this new attention. I hope you have understood this so far. As a matter of fact, if you wish to become a Jung and delve into this until it no longer exists, as he states, it is possible to say that I am writing this so as to prove to myself that I am not a failure, and this is being written to solve my own problem, which is most true. However, I try not to put on a false front, and to maintain this I create my insecurity, and I am back to the beginning again, so I cannot win. D. CAMPBELL VIIA FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 59 CONTENIPLATION It was up there on the screen. THERE WAS A LOVE-SCENE: SHE CRIEDg HE COMFORTED HER, WE'LL ALWAYS BE TO- GETHER.' HE LOOKED FOR A JOB IN SOME HEL- LISH MAN-HOLE: SHE LOOKED FOR A FLAT: THERE WAS A LOVE-SCENE, SHE CRIED, I WOULD DIE IF YOU HAD TO LEAVEQU HE COMFORTED HER. I left and my seat sprung up. I was outside, and the sky was reappearing as a cumulo-nimbus raced a lady to Bus 47. A stoplight was standing beside me. It irritated Bus 47 with a red, and overjoyed the lady with a green. She stepped up, and I smiled, and I re- spected the stoplight, My eyes turned to the theatre's Cheshire Cat ticket lady. Our eyes col- lided and stumbled back into position. I closed my two while staring at the light turn green. I saw coloured geometric patterns on my lids. Then they opened for some unknown unconscious rea- son. Everyone looked the same when I looked across the street at a crowd. Coats and hats covering unknown bodies were walking back and forth, WE'LL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER. You, we, and I, we're all together. We are all insane, or all sane. This is a question of diction and relativity. It is all relative. Nothing is relative. We're all together, I love Communists. I hate Communists. Do you know any Communists? We hate them. I hate them, I don't associate with them. To others the problem is more crucial, How can they hate Com- munism when their friend's grandmother is Brezhnev's great aunt? These cases may involve similar people, but because of minor environmental quirks, they could be extremists to both degrees. I think the difference between love and hate is the same as one minus .999 recurring. Take that and knit it in your sweater, take that and cook it in your soup, or take it and throw it out. It had been up there on the screen. I had not enioyed it. It constituted a wonderful dream, vividly re-enacted, It would've been a nice dream, but since it was represented by reality, the whole effect of wonderfulness was spoiled. I kept on telling myself it had all been created on a stage somewhere in Hollywood in order to fight my iealousy. This worked, but the movie was so re- petitive and plotless that I had to leave. It's odd of my telling you all this when I don't even know your name. I don't mind it, though, I like talking, I don't like making secrets. I am, you are, we are all together. That's a good philosophy in discussions, It breaks many people's privacy code. I was walking now. I stepped high up into a bus, paid my fare and sat down in a decent remote seat, and dipped a boot in a puddle of water on the rubber floor. I slid an ugly, flattened, cigarette butt into the water with my other foot and drowned it. It rose to the surface, and floated around every time the bus changed speed. It finally made its way to the dry, rubber shore just about the time the bus passed the street before mine. I stood up and squished it, and this time some tobacco squirted out. Then I got off and went home and watched baseball all night on T.V. I turned it off and watched the white dot disappear. I thought of what had happened that day. At lunch an infuriated friend gave me a funny look. I could see it in his eyes, mouth, and eyebrows. Receiving funny looks is in my nature. HE LOOKED FOR A JOB IN SOME HELLISH MANHOLE. I had believed that the opposite of a circle was a dot before he pointed out that it is really a shapeless yet two dimensional and often black expanse minus the circumference of a circle surrounding a huge black dot, the circIe's interior. Therefore, it is a circle. The human does not normally accept a shapeless yet two dimen- sional obiect as a geometric figure. Rather, he relates with the smaller object, the silhouette of the original figure. However, the white circle had not been drawn, and the dark expanse had. The only way to bring out a black dot on a dark expanse is to encircle it with another colour, in this case white. Now I was up and moving after three hours of sitting. My sleepy legs brought me to my tooth- brush, and I coated the bristles with paste, and then attacked my awful teeth mercilessly. Shortly, I was in bed, waiting for the inevit- able - sleep. Sleep does funny things with time. I was on, then off. THERE WAS no LOVE-SCENE. I grew up and died. Then I woke up and found it was all a dream, and I grew up and died, Then I woke up and found it was alla dream, and I grew up and died. Then I woke up and found it was all a dream, and I grew up and died. Then I woke up. I was 12:30. And this is like the images on a pair of oppo- site mirrors. This is like a geometric progression. This is like a family tree which will grow and grow in the future and grows and grows in the past, but how can it when there are more people now than before. I grew up and died to become what I don't know. 60 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Death is life and life is death, and one is the absence of the other, iust like O If 0, and 0 1 -O, but death and life are not zero. They are numbers to such a fantastic power that I don't know. After death is what? To another planet? That's too limited and within our vision. One thing is for sure, it is ridiculous for a human to start and stop living at some point in time when humans have been living for so long. Why iust seventy years out of fifty or so thousand? This appears to make a human useless. I walked outside. I always do about midnight. I don't know why. I guess it's just because it's a beautiful sight to see all the stars. I have always seemed attracted toward them. There seems such a similarity between the galaxies and atoms that I wonder if the galaxies are atoms, perhaps hydrogen, in another inconceivably gi- gantic world. And perhaps our atoms are also galaxies. And I went back to dream. Perhaps dreams are real and life is a dream. I awoke at 7:00, sharp or blunt. I do not know. Now it is another day. You must verify my occupation. What is it? You will never know for I am an old man sixty years later. I am a girl of five. I am a horse. I am a mouse. I am an amoeba. I WOULD DIE IF YOU HAD TO LEAVE. I have bathtub water wetness on my feet. I am now going to plug in the coffee perculator. A SPARK ! I have changed into a different existence. All motion has ceased. Do not worry. This is a frequent occurrence, and you don't know, because you are human, and you do not see a stop, but I do, I am SUPER- NATURAL. Why don't you know? Humans never will. There is a different world on this world which is lived at a different pace. These beings rush around at the speed of light. They ar invisible, but are noticed by another sense. Why, not five, but one, the undiscovered! I am one of them and the world started when you woke up this morning. The switch has been made like the Metro changing tracks and direction. It was before 7:00 sharp and keen as I unplugged the coffee percu- lator, took a bath, and went to bed, I woke at 'I2:40 for a brief stroll outside. I slept and watched baseball. The lady got off Bus 47. And so, the world died, grew younger, less intelligent, and finally was born. This is a sharp, cool, keen thought. It amuses me. We must agree that time is linear. Time has direction, either evolution or involution. Man's mind is conscious of only one direction - evo- lution, whereas some other being may respond to time in an opposite fashion. This would mean that it has a life of similar strains, but it would become what humans consider younger as its life continued, and at the end, it would physically be born in the reverse to normal evolutionary procedure. The switch has been made. Life is backwards to you. The further I travel away from the earth, the more future is revealed, opposite of what exists now. For every year I move away I can see as many years in the future finstead of your natural way H the pasti, but yesterday can never be warned of tomorrow, because the universal speed limit stands pat. Think about it world. It is sad that I cannot warn you, No, I've just been inspired. I could find the destiny of the world before it happens.

He ordered his martini, and before Harold knew it, he was staring at four steel walls with a closed circuit T.V. in one corner. The only way out was the laser, but would it work? As he acti- vated the device, he found it increasingly hard to breathe as the air was being sucked out. Could he make it in time? Just as the few remnants of air were left, the safe door fell down, shaking the whole building floor as he was shooting his way out, he dropped the time bomb, set it for one min- ute, and activated his rocket shoes. Just as he crashed through the window the whole building blew up. That's the story how 006 became 006 W. - J. MOTTER SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE HELP! HELP! I'm adrift in a vaccuum.

We watched the menacing mountains looming over us and the gaping auburn fields spreads before us. The trees in their stately stillness cast a soft reflection on the glass like waters of the pond. It seemed to us as if wisps of coloured steam from a kettle were creeping closer, ever closer to the horizon. The sun in all its firey orange glory, our monarch of heat and light, slowly descended behind the dusky horizon. A. PATERSON. IIA. The Draft The Draft has taken many a man Away from home to Vietnam.

George TOMBS 70 -i -wif SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Man's Arrival on the Moon Man throughout his entire existence has al- ways wondered what actually lies beyond his planet earth, Even to-day man knows little about the planets that surround him and what he does know is not significant to his ever curious mind. The moon is the closest planet of any kind out- side the worId's gravitational pull and atmo- sphere. lt is to this foreign plant that man will first set foot and explore in this coming year. Scientists have studied the moon closely through powerful telescopes and have firmly stated that no living matter is existing or can exist in the conditions that exist on the moon's surface. Why go and explore the moon if there is not anything of im- portance on it? Many people have asked this question. The answers are many and varied. The possibilities that the moon has are unlimited and it is these possibilities that keep the American and Russian space programmes going. The country which can land a man onthe moon first will prob- ably claim most of the moon for that country. The moon will probably be divided up into sections like Antartica is to-day between the two founding nations which will be the United States and the U.S.S.R. Soon after the first landings scientific settle- ments will be established most likely containing geologists and meteorologists and various other types of scientists. Great care will be taken to guard against any earthly germ coming on to the moon which might destroy any existing life. If one can live on the moon easily without discomfort I am sure colonies will start. There is no limit to what can be done, Just a decade ago space travel was fiction, but now space travel has become quite a regular occurrence. David PEIPPO, IIIB A Different Life Jamaica is a long way away, about l,30O miles. However, the distance between Canada and Jamaica in their cultures is about three centuries. Canada is cold, prosperous, developed and She has been independent for one hundred and one years. On the other hand, Jamaica is hot, tiny, un-developed and She has been independent for only six years. Canadians are only interested in Jamaica as a tourist center. Actually, if you took their word for it, you wiuld believe that Jamaica had nothing more to offer. To most people, Jamaica is a nice place to sit in the sun. In fact, her tourist industry is her most im- portant one. Most of her coast is lined with hotels. Her whole economy is geared to it. It also provides thousands of iobs which are barly needed. What other attractions are there in this island? If one is looking for a permanent iob, there are plenty in the business section. Despite the fact that the population is 97? black, many key business posi- tions are held by white people. However, the government is all black. incidentally, the Jamaican Prime Minister, Hugh Shearer, is very good. Canada and Jamaica have many things in common. The system of government is the same, as are the courts. Jamaicans take a lively interest in the courts. Their police force is small but ef- ficient. The whole island has three newspapers. Cars are few and they belong mostly to the white population. As can be seen, their institutions are much the same, if not as large, What is life like for the normal black person? Many are farmers, some independent and some Sometimes, when I am alone at home watch- ing television and seeing all the fighting and kil- ling that is taking place in some far off countries today, I think of my family and Me and wonder if my sisters and I will be able to grow up in a decent world or whether we will be all blown up by the Atom Bomb. When I listen to the news on the radio, the news always seems to be bad.l turn on the television and see a lot of fighting and kil- ling, It makes me wonder why nobody tries to stop all the misery in the world. I do not know work for white people. Many are involved in domestic work, either is hotels or in the houses of white people or upper class blacks. Pay is low, about seven hundred dollars a year. In their society, there are three categories: white, upper- class black and lower-class black. Food is not ex- pensive and many people grow their own or steal some from the local golf course. Taxes are low and there is very little insurance. However, one is struck immediately by their lack of sense of time. In Jamaica, time does not matter, money does not matter and iobs do not matter, Sleeping, having fun and going to the market do matter. It is really very hard to keep track of what day it is. If you invite a Jamaican for dinner at eight, set your table at nine. The majority of the natives could not care less about politics or education, they would much rather just sing and dance and drink. This does not mean that they are not nice. They are extremely con- genial, loyal and they are not preiudiced. What is it people like so much about Jamaica? I believe it is the complete lack of pressure and dead-lines. There is a, sense of relaxation you can't find in Canada, lt iust seems as if there is always time for swimming. I enioyed the relaxation and the climate. Perhaps I will get use to Canadian winters but, right now, Jamaica seems to be a paradise with her temperatures consistently be- tween sixty and ninety. That is what appeals to me. B. TURNER, IIIA what I would do if I did not have my family, for we have a lot of fun together. I have several hobbies and some of them I share with my father, such as fishing and rock col- lecting.

During this happening there was no gym- nasium, but mercifully, the days were bright and sunny, and games were played outside until the weather let us down just before Christmas. Then the only exercise to be got was by a little extra wriggling in class: a very poor substitute for the real thing. January was the revelation! For the Juniors there was the cheery, gay new Art Room, and the gigantic gymnasium. lt was most exciting, and well worth the hurlyeburly and dust of the previous term. FORIVI D: The boys in Form D have quite an adjustment to make, coming as they do from varying kinder- gartens into a room of strange boys and fresh teachers. The wonder is that it takes only a few days before new friendships are formed and shyness is gone. Before long, even the most timid child can negotiate the long hall, clutching the register to take to the office. To stay for lunch is indeed an occasion and one conversation overheard went like this: l like macaroni very much. Last summer we went out to a farm and got some delicious macaroni straight from the cows . SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE FORM C Dogs are dogs, Cats are cats. What are boys? They are noise. Pierre BAILLARGEON A poem In the year 1968 Near a lake I saw Indians Try to get a spear In a bear's rear. But the bear Ran clear Of the spear. Then they tried To get their spears In a deer's rear But the deer' also Ran clear Of the spear. Pierre GOAD A dream In the middle ofthe night I turned in the light And saw such a sight It gave me a fright: A black ghostly knight Of very great height! I got up to tight, Hit him with my might And he vanished from sight. So I turned of? the light: Good-night. by R. oorzoom-CLARK Jim and Tim Jim and Tim play all day. Jim and Tim fight all night, They fight all night And they write all night, But they never have any light. Mark OGILVY My Wish I wish I had a mini bike and I'd ride it around my lane. At dinner time, I would go and put my mini bike in my garage. Then I would play with it next day. Nicholas POWELL age 8 year old. R THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-19 My Holiday My family went to main Csicl for summer holidays, One day my father took me sailing with a friend. We saw lots and lots of lobster traps. My father let us steer the boat and let us drive it back. And I liked that. William ATKINS, age 7 years. FORIVI B I BEARDS People have long beards, short beards, yellow beards, red beards. Why do people have beards? Are they trying to hide a pimple, or are they trying to keep their chin warm, or are they trying to look nice? Who knows? Not me. My father should know because he has one. I feel beards look nice if they are not exagerated, I would like to have one when I grow up. What about you? David GAMEROFF, BI THE ANIMALS How can a mouse Get into a House? With his little black nose He gets through any holes. How can a bear Give us a scare? With his great big claws On his great big paws. How can a cat Catch a rat? With his eyes so bright He can see at night. How can a dog Slep like a log? With his paw over his ear He does not hear. How can a horse Run round a course? With his big black feet He is as swift as sleet. Stephen FONTEIN, BI AFTERNOON SKIING I was at Skiboon and was in the chalet eating a hot-dog for lunch, when I first saw the big man in the red jacket. After lunch, when I was in line for the chair, a saw him again, He was talking about how good he was at skiing, and so we rode the tow together. At the top I went down the easy slope and he went down the steep one, when I got down to the bottom I saw a crowd of people. They were looking at some skis in the snow, they began digging and found the big man in the red iacketl Unfortunately he had broken his leg. C. R. BIRD, BI 69 3 82 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE FORM B 2 MORNING The first thing I think about is to yawn. The second thing I think about is to try to make a bigger yawn. The third thing I think about is to get up. The fourth thing I think about is to get dressed. The fifth thing I think about is walking across Westmount Park. The sixth thing I think about is going back to sleep. IAIN STEWART-PATTERSON, Form B2 A DREAM Nights are always very exciting for me. Once, for instance, I dreamt I owned a Lotus for my family car, and a Ferrari racer, The Ferrari was run at the world's largest race tracks winning all the races except one in l964. That was when I had my first accident, The Ferrari hit the wheels of a Cooper- Maserati, went into a wild spin, turned over and burst into red and blue fiames, after a terribly loud explosion. Peter Hodgon was the Cooper- Maserati's driver. He lost a wheel, went out of control, and crashed into a grandstand. Both Peter and I were flung from our cars, shook hands in mid-air, landed in the sea with a sudden cold splash and went scuba diving. I woke up and there was George, my brother grinning and holding an empty water glass. JOHN, Form B2 MY TRIP This summer I am going to Britain with my family. We are flying to London and I hope to see Buckingham Palace, the tower of London, Carnaby Street, and other interesting places. We are going to drive to Edinburgh, sight seeing on the way. In Scotland I am going to visit my grandparents and my cousins for a few weeks. I am looking forward to my trip, especially as my father has promised me a kitten when we get back to Montreal. Jeremy NICOL, Form B2 SAILING BOATS I have a beautiful sailing boat, with a bright red sail, and a rudder. It sails very fast and has won nine races since I got it. I've had it for three years. Once I was racing it with my grandfather, and his boat was called the Flounder, While they were racing, my boat caught the rigging of my grand- father's boat and ripped the sail. So my boat won! Kevin RATCLIFF, Form B2 MY FIRST SKIING TRIP I will never forget the day I went skiing for the first time. I arrived at the appointed place ahead of my teacher and donned by boots and skis. I started oFf going, down hill faster and faster. I fould myself heading for a wall and un- able to stop. Rather than hit it, I decided to dis- grace myself, and sat right down on my seat. This had the desired effect, and I came to a tumbled stop. I said nothing of this to my teacher when sh'e arrived. Chris POWELL, Form B2 HOCKEY On Fridays I play hockey, Our team is called the White Nights. I had just got off the bench to play defence. One of the best men came down the ice. I was the only defence man because the other one was down at the other end. The boy came up. I got the puck away from him and passed it to another boy who was the smallest on our team. The small boy took a long shot, It passed all the men. The shot had gone right in! We won the game four to zero! Peter OLIVER, Form B2 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 83 'Round the World I've explored all Canada As much as Grenada - Also cold Iceland And freezing Greenland! I've visited France - Done many a dance I've looked at Spain All in the rain. I've iourneyed to Iran And to West Paskistan. I've been in Istanbul And warful Israel. I've been to Norway, Sweden, Finland, And Warsaw in Poland. I went to Greece And then my niece Said Go to Amsterdam! And of course - Rotterdam! I've drunk syrup But never in Europe. I've been to Britain And this is where this was written. Richard SMALL, Form AI, Age 9 City Traffic It's very noisy, Hank honk! go the horns. Swish! goes a car in the slush. Squaw! go the Screech! go the autos as they hit the bumpy firerengines. Crackle! goes a car as it rubs over road. Crash! goes one car as it hits the sidewalk. stones. And that's a lot of noise! Peter O'HEARN, Form AI, Age 9 The First Foghorn In St. John, New Brunswick, there lived a man named Robert Foulis. Robert Foulis was a piano teacher who often walked in a dense fog to his pupils. One day after he had ben teaching one of his pupils he heard about a great ship disaster. The shop disaster occurred when a ship in fog hit a huge rock while entering St. John's harbour. All the people in the town wanted to find some way to warn ships. They had tried firing a connon and ringing bells, but neither worked. After hearing this conversation Robert Foulis was walking home in fog when he heard his daughter, Elizabeth, playing. She was playing a scale and Robert noticed that the lower notes came through the fog better than the higher ones. Getting interested, he walked home and told his daughter to play the scale again five times, At one hundred paces he still could hear the one low note better than the higher ones. At two hundred and fifty paces he still heard the same thing. Thinking he had made an important discovery he called some of his pupils' fathers who were ship owners. They raised a little money, to set up a place on Partridge Island. No one ever wanted fog more than Robert Foulis did! In two weeks' time there was some fog and at one-minute inter- vals that booming note, which went over the harbour, was sounded. Ship captains said they could hear the note for miles across the sea. The government thought that Robert Foulis had made an important discovery and decided to install a boiler for the experimental plant on Partridge Island. The idea was copied and copied all over the world, All this happened in I854 and nobody knows how many lives have been saved by Robert Foulis. Jamie TURNER, Form AI, Age 9 84 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE The Bread Baskets of Canada Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are The Bread Baskets of Canada , or in other words, the Canadian Wheatlands . There the wheat is plen- tiful. There is so much that Canada ships many tons of it to foreign countries. Much of it is made into bread. The workers cut the wheat and then take it to factories where other workers make it into fiour and then into bread. The shipping men take the grain to the nearest railroad station. The freight trains then take it to Vancouver, Montreal or other major seaports. The Canadian Pacific Railway was built for this reason, or, more important, Canada promised to build a trans-continental railway which would transport wheat if British Columbia would join The Dominion of Canada - fQuebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia at that timei. British Columbia accepted. The railway was finished in 1885, and so wheat could be shipped to many seaports. Today, many boxcars of trains travel along with a chug-chug-choo carrying much wheat and grain from Canada's Bread Baskets to coastal seaports where it will be shipped to other countries. Richard SMALL, Form Al, Age 9 Midnight Mystery In an old fishing camp, on the banks ofa huge lake, a fisherman was complaining that all his catch had disappeared during the night. He was very angry and everybody laughed at him, but were sorry when, the next morning, found their fish gone too. They thought that the fisherman had done it and they went towards the fisherman's house. Halfway there they met him and he asked, Are your fish missing too? The others answered, Yes , we thought that you had taken them. Their fish kept disappearing for over a week, so they decided to have one man watch and see what happened. That very night, he saw the thief. It was a great black bear, and he was coming for more. The next morning, the man told the other men what he had seen. He said, l heard a rumble in the bushes, but I couldn't see it. I waited a moment and there stood a great black bear. He has been taking the fish. The mystery was solved. Robin ROHLICEK, Form Al, Age 9 The Snake The snake wiggles up and down, He travels over lots of ground. He uses his tongue to catch some flies, This job calls for very good eyes. When he gets fat he changes his skin, The old one's too tight for him to stay in. .Jamie AIKENS, Form A2 The Snake As I was walking by the lake, I came across a harmless snake. lt writhed and wiggled along the grass And simply wouldn't let me pass. Michael HOOTON, Form A2 The Spider I know a Spider, his name is Sam He's rather queer, he likes to eat ham. He's fat and hairy and crosseyed to boot, He's red all over, but awfully cute. He sleeps all day and spins all night His webby home is o big delight He barks like a dog and smiles like ci cat He'll do tricks through his web if you give him a pat. Andrew SHARP, Form A2 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR1968-1969 85 The Spider There once was spider, He spun a silken web, And after he had finished it He said I'd like to wed . He found a pretty bride Who was spinning a web, While sitting in the middle Of a flower bed. P. HALL, Form A2 At the l lOI'Se Races One day we went to the reces, We saw so many pretty faces. The horse that won, Weighed almost a ton And couldn't do up his shoelaces. Hugh WELSFORD, Form A2 The Storm One day there was a storm, I was in bed all cuddled and warm. It was showering rain, But I did not complain, For I like the way the different clouds form. Hugh WELSFORD, Form A2 The Snake Once I saw a snake, Who was always alert, and always awake. So I saw him onthe ground, And he made a huge sound, So I gave him my black and yellow birthday cake. Hugh WELSFORDD, Form A2 My Salamander My salamander has three orange stripes, one on each side of him and one on his back. A salamander is a type of lizzard. My sala- mander is a very small one. In Italy they have salamanders that grow to be five feet long. The ones in Italy live out of water, but the one I have is not from Italy and it lives in water. Mine could live out of water for one hour or one hour and a half and then it would die. But what I do is, keep it in some water. A salamander is an amphibian. The End by Todd FINKELSTEIN, Form A2 My Nightmare I was sleeping in my bed when I had a ter- rible nightmare and this was it. I dreamt I was on a pirate ship and all alone. The pirates had gone ashore to bury some treasure and I was left to guard the ship. I had a feeling I was being watch- ed. I heard a strange sound, but it was my parrot. I knew someone was coming because he had dis- turbed my parrot, I hid myself hoping he would not find me. He came close to me and saw me. The next minute I awoke in a cold sweat. Waldemar BOCKLER, Form A2 Afternoon Academic Prizegiving 1968 On the afternoon of 'I4th June the guest of honour was Mr. George Currie, an Old Boy of the school. He spoke of the socialogical problems affecting the world to-day and related them to this permis- sive age when children and young people make their own decisions, getting what they want when they want it. This he feels does not prepare them to face the larger world. Sooner or later, he stated, these children have to learn to face some sort of authority which is likely to come as quite a bump. Mr. Currie told the boys in concluding his remarks, the most important kind of discipline is the kind you get in school.
