GOLDBLOOM, M.D. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970-1971 5 GOUVERNEMENT DU QUEBEC CONSEI1, EXECUTIF CABINET DU MINISTRE D'ETAT It is a considerable honour to be invited to write a foreword for the 1971 issue of the Selwyn House School Magazine - not only as an Old Boy, as the father of two former students and as the hus- band ofa member of the Board, but also because of my continuing admi- ration for the School and its traditions, and my association until recently with Government responsibility for the future of education in Quebec. Upon the future of education depends the success of our complex society, especially in these times of turbulence which will undoubtedly continue to try us all. It is necessary that we challenge and re-examine our policies and institutions, we cannot deny the conspicuous imperfections of what we and our predecessors have built. I am profoundly convinced, however, that the future is to the patient and the responsible, and the assumption of the burden of caring for and about one' s fellow man will continue to be the noblest of human endeavours and the key to the stability of the world. There is an ancient Chinese proverb which says that it is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness. May your candlepower be a beacon to guide us all towards a better society. Most sincerely, W Victor C. Goldbloom, M. D. , Minister of State responsible for the Quality of the Environment. SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Board of Directors Chairman Robert C. Paterson, Esq.

Mr. Walter S. Cottingham and Professor Svenn Orvig. Mr. Ballon and Mr. Cottingham are Old Boys of the school and Dr. Orvig has had two sons at the school for a number of years. All three bring a wide experience in the administrative field to our Board and we are looking forward to a very happy and mutually profitable association. We regret that Mr. Charles W. Peters has had to with- draw because of pressure of work but we hope that in the future he may find additional time to add a further con- tribution to his school. As staff replacements in administration we were happy to welcome Mrs. Violet M. Dagneau. Miss Mary Scott and Mr. T. H. Irwin Roberts - the first two in the main office and Mr. Roberts as Bursar of the school. On the academic side we welcomed in September Mrs. Ellen Pinchuk and Miss Martha Wood to the Junior School, Mr. Andrew MacDonald to the Physical Educa- tion Department and Mr. Norman Lewis as Physics specialist. We were grateful to Mr. G. E. D. Lane and Mr. Dren- nan Hincks for their help in the class-room during Mr. McLean's illness. We regret to record that several members of the staff will be leaving us this Spring. Miss Ethel L. Pick has been Librarian of the school since 1957 and has not only seen the big change from the old school to the new but also worked through the tremendous transformation years when literally thousands of additional books for senior students were introduced into our shelves. We have been most grateful to her for the personalised attention that she has always so cheerfully and competently rendered to boys of all ages, as well as to her colleagues on the staff whose great diversity of projects have involved the Li- brary increasingly from year to year. We extend our grateful thanks to Miss Pick for all her fine work and our best wishes for the future. in her well-eamed retriment. Mr. Todd H. Becker came to Selwyn House in 1965 with a background of administration and class-room ex- perience which have proved of great value to us at Selwyn House. He early interested himself in the developing sports programme of the school. particularly at the early teen level where his outstanding coaching was put to full use and produced excellent teams in soccer. hockey and softball - a number of which went undefeated throughout the entire season. His skill in teaching. mainly in English. History and his training in special Reading and Compre- hension Skills proved invaluable at the highly critical areas of pre-High school and the Junior High school levels. Mr. Ian F. G. Ferguson entered Selwyn House in l968 and has specialized mainly in History up to and including Grade 9 level. His encyclopaedic knowl- edge of so many areas of History involving such a vast array of time and countries has added an enrichment of the course of studies for his various classes. His interests in other activities of the school and particularly the Chess Club has been greatly appreciated. We are sorry to see these two distinguished members of our academic staff leaving us at this time but we would like to thank them for the extra things they have given to us and wish them every success as they leave for other fields of endeavour. Mr. David M. Culver Mr. David M. Culver stepped down from the Chair- manship of the Board after the Graduation last June. During his tenure of ofiice. first as Treasurer and after- wards as Chairman. he played an outstanding role in the mammoth campaign which heralded the big addition to the school of 1968 - an addition that brought such an in- crease of facilities to Selwyn House School in doubling the size of the Gym as well as of the library and the labs and brought locker-rooms and extra classrooms. as well as an art room and a Geography lab to enhance our school. Our profound thanks go to Mr. Culver for his wonderful leadership, and our best wishes to Mr. Robert C. Paterson. who succeeded him as Chairman. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970-1971 11 MR. TROUBETZKOY :wx .lag New Headmaster Alexis Troubetzkoy The Governors of Selwyn House Association have invited Mr. Alexis S. Troubetzkoy to become Head- master and is now pleased to say that he has accepted his invitation to succeed Dr. Robert Speirs who retires this summer after being Headmaster of the School for twenty six years. We believe Mr. Troubetzkoy will bring to Selwyn House fine personal qualities and extensive experience. While he was born in Paris. his family moved shortly afterwards to the United States and on graduating from Kent School. Connecticut in 1953, he moved to Canada and subsequently graduated from Sir George Williams University. His teaching appointments have been at Stanstead College. Bishops College School, St. Stephen's School in Rome where he was assistant to the Headmaster. and for the past two and one-half years he has been the Registrar at Appleby College. Currently he is a coach of basketball and tennis and while his subject is history. he is a capable linguist with a fluency in French. Russian and Italian. While the Governors are convinced Mr. Troubetzkoy has a high regard for the School's standards and tradi- tions. they are also satisfied that through his leadership useful innovations will come about in and out of the classroom.

Speirs is retiring from the position of Headmaster of Selwyn House School. Born in Melrose. Scotland. Dr, Speirs was educated at a neighbouring academy and at Edinburgh University. where he earned his MA. in classics. After a period of post-graduate study there, he gained a fellowship at Col- umbia University. New York. where he received another Masters degree. He taught in Scotland for four years. and then returned to Canada as head of the English department at Lower Canada Collegez he later became assistant headmaster there. In I9-15. after the unexpected death of Mr. Wanstall, the newly formed Board of Gov- crnors of Selwyn House School offered him the position of headmaster, which he has filled with great success for the past twenty-six years. His contribution to education in the city earned for him an honorary doctorate at Sir George Williams University in l968. and his career reached a climax in 1970. when he presided over the annual conference of the Headmasters' Association of Canada in the school last November. During his twenty-six years at the school. Dr. Speirs has been the moving spirit in many and varied changes. It has been a time of steady expansion in every way. from a school of 99 boys to one almost five times the size. from the comfortably compact quarters in Redpath Street to the present commodious building. from a school whose chief concern was academic excellence to one whose interests are more widly diversified. That progress may be seen in the development of what Dr. Speirs sometimes referred to as the plant : in the creation of locker-rooms. the addition of a gymnasium. followed by the laboratory and then the elegant library with the new wing of class- rooms above. which transformed the Redpath site. When, in 1961. the school outgrew even these extended premises and moved to its present site in Westmount. the steady growth continued. until in 1968 the expansion fund. gen- erously raised by friends. Old Boys and parents. enabled the new gymnasium. laboratories. library. locker-rooms and class-rooms to be added. These material achievements are the outward evidence of the corporate development of the school. Under Dr. Speirs' guidance. the limited athletic side of the school has expanded enormously. with teams participating in the Montreal leagues and meets. as well as maintaining the ancient and traditional rivalries. and the number of dif- ferent sports and games available to the boys has greatly increased. Intra-mural activities introduced by Dr. Speirs have become accepted features of school life which. though often overshadowed by class-work and games, are still real. In its primary function. the work of the school has extended itself in many directions. until now the number of boys writing at least a part of their matric- ulation examinations is fast approaching the total number in the school when Dr. Speirs assumed command, and the results in public examinations at all levels maintain the high standard which was a tradition at that time. Be- hind all this is an Old Boys' Association. founded in 1953. whose strength and interest in the school are, in them- selves. a testimonial to the headmaster's work: and Dr. Speirs has seen some of his former students return in the role of parents. Dr. Speirs has always considered community work an important part of his life. He has been president of the Notre Dame de Grace Community Council: for many years he was active as a governor of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. and of the Fraser-Hickson Institute: he is still a senior elder at the Knox Crescent Kensington Presby- terian Church. For long he was widely sought as a speaker. addressing societies throughout Montreal and elsewhere in Canada. For the next year at least. Dr. Speirs plans to take a sabbatical year to continue his advanced studies in French. Whether he will be persuaded to return to teach- ing remains to be determined. Whatever field his future endeavours lead him into. Selwyn House wishes him every success. We assure him of our gratitude for his achieve- ments in the past. and of our hope that our ties with him are not broken. but merely relaxed. ill i '+af'fe'Us'A ' 'fi-' ' n 'g . ff cv X 1 fl V I 1 A A SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Q GRADUATINO CLASS l97O - 71 R THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970-1 971 17 6- 1 Bin Ainley Activities: Stud Pro Society Exec.

FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970-1971 25 Cl las all lQlell 1v1'lWi Quebec City Trip - May 14-15, 1971 Ten happy boys awaited the hnal bell on Friday that week with more than the usual anticipation. for they were about to set out on a trip to the historic city of Quebec. The weather was ideal. and every detail had been looked after. Mr. Seville's popular Meteor Convertible and Mr. Rumsby's rented Fury lll were soon receiving passengers. although six decided that they would make the first leg of the trip in the Ford. with the top down. ofcourse. The first amusing incident of the trip happened when it became evident that Tom Agar could no longer ride comfortably with Mr. Seville and the other five boys. Bystanders must have been a bit surprised to see Tom hotfooting it down Greene Avenue in order to catch the Fury Ill which was by this time about a block ahead. As luck would have it. a red light at St. Catherine Street allowed Tom to catch up. and take his place with Mr. Rumsby's load. Through the Wellington Tunnel and out onto the Champlain Bridge the two cars sped. and then all enjoyed the sight of Montreal's skyline from the new Highway 3 along the south shore of the St. Lawrence. After we reached the intersection with the Trans-Canada Highway. all settled down to an enjoyable hundred and fifty miles to the foot of the new Pierre-Laporte Bridge. The boys had a good look at the massive cable structure that makes this bridge such a contrast to the old cantilever structure built some sixty years ago. and providing the only link with the south shore until this newest bridge was finally constructed. After a bit of circling around. we arrived safely at the Holiday Inn where our reserved rooms were awaiting us. The cool air of the early evening and the general lateness of the spring season made opening the pool rather risky. but no one appeared to miss it very much. Once luggage was deposited and room-mates chosen. it was the order of the day to find food. albeit at a reasonable price. for several hungry boys. One group found a nearby A St W to suit them well. whereas the other earload went downtown to a Villa de Poulet. Following supper. both groups explored the old part of the city by car. and gained an idea of what they would be able to see on the morrow. Back at the motel colour TV sets and two busloads of girls from New Jersey made the passing of the evening to be very pleasant. indeed. Saturday morning dawned early for some. and they were out for a stroll long before the other sleepyheads greeted the sun. The Coffee Shop provided breakfast for all. but Clive Hooton. Forrest Palmer and Bill Turner decided that room service should be tried out. and so they ate in style in their room. During the day. visits were made to the Parliament Buildings. the Citadel and the Plains of Abraham. A drive along the waterfront road acquainted all with the steep cliff where Wolfe and his men had scrambled up to meet Montcalm's forces in 1759. A drive through Lower Town and up Rue de la Montagne brought us to the Chateau Frontenac. The famous elevator provided some with a rather scary ride down from Dufferin Terrace to Maison Jolliet in Lower Town. The afternoon trip took one group as far east as Ste. Anne de Beaupre. while the other visited Ile d'Orleans and Montmorency Falls. The latter provided some spectacular photography and a moist re- ception for those who ventured closer to its spray. Lunch was found in one of the restaurants near the Chateau. and in the evening. a few dined at the Chateau while others went in search of other restaurants nearby. Free time before Mr. Rumsby's group started back to Montreal allowed time for some to do parts of the walking tour in the old city area. Four seniors stayed over with Mr. Seville and returned to our city on Sunday afternoon. lt is to be hoped that this trip would teach more of the history of our land. and encourage us all to make use of our French in surroundings where it's used every day. Boys who accompanied Mr. Rumsby and Mr. Seville were: Tommy Agar. Taylor Gray. Donald Groenwege. Jon. Hollinger. Clive Hooton. Tom Konigsthal. Richard Packer. Forrest Palmer. Charles Rohlicek. and Bill Turner. E. H. R. SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Book Fair Last fall our second annual Book Fair was held, and was once again a great success. We are grateful that so many parents and students came on the night of the fair. Several hundred books. of a total value of about four thousand dollars were donated that night. ln addition. several very generous donations were received through the course of the year: all the new books have now been placed on the shelves. and their usefulness to the students. especially to those of the upper forms. has been inestim- able. We hope that. with the continued help of all con- cerned. at least one book-fair will be able to be held next year. perhaps emphasizing additional areas of study and more thorough reference books. Our thanks go to all the parents who so generously supported the fair. and to all the members of staff and the boys. who both organized the fair and donated books to the library. Such support from all directions insures the future expansion of such an important part of the school. David Nonnenman Jeff Mappin David Barer G. C. I. B. The Film Club The Film Club had a rather disappointing year. in spite of several excellent films such as the hilariously funny Tom Jones. and the King 0fHf'11rts. Some members may have noted a distortion on the screen in some movies owing to the lack of a Cinema- scope lens. We apologize for this but assume that con- tinued support next year will enable us to make marked improvements. Many thanks to Chris Orvig for faithfully running the projector. Mike Lapin and Jim Sadler for assisting at the gate. - Jim Locke. The Chess Club The 1970-71 season of the chess club. under the direc- tion of Mr. Ferguson. was not too successful. officially. Attendance was small due to many parents' meetings and holidays. The boys often did not know whether the Chess Club was being held on any given Thursday. The main supporters were from Forms lll. VI, and Vll. Unofficially. however. the Chess Club flourished, as chess matches were held at recess. during extra periods. and after school. We made many converts, as many boys bought chess books by the dozens and studied them closely. to develop into reasonable chess players. An unofficial tournament did not get under way due to lack of time. but there are hopes for a well organized com- petition next year. All in all. the club was enjoyed by the members. and the enthusiasm shown will keep it going strongly. if not regularly. for many years. - Michael Lapin R THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970- Students' Project Society The Students' Project Society continued to flourish this year, with the active support of the whole school. Under the direction of Scott Robertson. James Dorey. and Geoff Hale. the Society continued the successful operation of the chocolate bar shop. which now has an even greater variety than before. The record rentals. a new project this year, operated by Chris Bovaird and Pete Campbell. has met with some success. Senior boys can obtain recent records on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for a nominal fee. This year. the Society bought a tape recorder for the use of the French Department. and a film loop projector for the Science and Geography Departments. These teaching aids have sparked greater interest for these sub- jects in many boys. In the winter term. the lost and found was reorganized in co-operation with Mr. MacDonald and the Sports Dept. Operated by Jon Hamovitch, it has brought additional revenue to the Society. G. Hale The Sports Shop - 1970-71 The sports shop was reorganized this year in cooperation with the Sports Department and the Students' Project Society, represented by B. Baldwin. L. Beaubien, and G. Hale. Reorganized and restructured under the guidance of Mr. MacDonald. whose experience and energy have been felt in all parts of the sports program. the shop made a substantial profit this year. This profit was returned to the Sports Department to help meet equipment, team and other requirements. Next year, we hope to expand further the services of the shop to include all school sporting activities, instead of only the hockey program. G. Hale. The Drama Club John Goldbloom began this club at the beginning of the school year. Unfortunately he had to leave before it got off the ground. However. the club was continued and had a most successful season. Saroyan's play 'Subway Circus' was staged on Friday. April sixteenth, at eight o'clock in the evening. A great deal of work was put into this. The cast. under the direction of Mrs. Marsh, prac- ticed every night for many weeks. This effort was re- warded for the play went off very well. I would like to add special thanks to Mr. M. Lewis for his helpful co- operation. Jim Locke 1971 27 28 Excursion to Japan ln July l07tJ. a group of twenty. including Mr. Seville. Mr. Burgess and his wife. departed for Japan as part of a Ships School .-Xssoeiation Tour. This trip had been con- ceived of eighteen months previously and the prepara- tions included one major parents' meeting. Although the differences quickly melted. our group was markedly unique, We were the only Quebec school to participate in addition to being the only private school. At any rate. we arrived in Tokyo. after considerable delays. at Z: I5 P.M. July 7. Oriental time. For the first week and again. on the final two days. we resided at the Tokyo Olympic Memorial Youth Centre. Despite its ornate name. it resembled a hostel more than a hotel. It underwent several good changes during our stay. While we visited Expo 70. We resided at Tatsuno Lodge. an acceptable hotel which was. unfortunately. a fair distance away from both Osaka and Kyoto. In addi- tion. we made night stop-overs at a Japanese inn on the ocean and at a Buddhist temple. These two side-trips were among the most pleasant on the whole tour. Our transportation throughout was mainly by bus. We did. however. twice have a chance to ride the Hikari Ex- press. a bullet train which normally cruises at about IZO mph. On one occasion. we travelled by ferry and. of course. we journeyed to and from Toronto on Trans International Airlines. Expo 70 was one of the attractions on our tour. Al- though similar to our own exhibition in many respects. it stressed considerably more commercialism. The Can- ELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE adian Pavilion. emphasizing people. was one of the best at the site. Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia were also adequately represented. On the first half of our tour. we were treated to an almost endless run of shrines and temples. They varied from interesting to boring in the impression they made on us. At one point. we visited the Emperor's palace which lies like a green island in the midst of grossly pol- luted Tokyo. We did a great deal of shopping during our travels. Led by Mr. Seville. we explored several arcades hunting for the well-known bargains in Japanese hardware. Some of us also tracked down less-publicized art-shops. with the aid of the Burgesses. who were the experts in this department. One excellent trip we took was to Mikimoto Pearl Island. where we were treated to an exciting demonstra- tion of pearl-culturing from beginning to end. We spent one day on the shore of a clean lake. just relaxing from our arduous travels. In addition. we visited numerous Japanese restaurants. whose qualities depend on your opinion of Oriental food. At our residences. we were given predominantly Western meals. On July 28. we left for home. Because of the time change. we arrived in Toronto only two hours after our departure from Tokyo. Mr. Burgess and Mr. Seville both worked hard before and during the tour. but I think Mr. Seville is especially deserving of our thanks. Throughout. he devoted himself to our group. with the result that everyone in our entourage enjoyed himself thoroughly. Bill Turner V A The Examiner Although only four editions have been published this year by the Selwyn House Examiner. the content has improved over that of last year. The staff has had the opportunity to experience a number of highly singular events. such as the interview with the Headmaster-Elect. Mr. Troubetzkoy. a trip to the Churchill Falls ofiice for films and slides and a trip in the CJAD helicopter. The absence due to the hospitalization of George Tombs was corrected as Charles Rohlicek ably assumed the editing and organizational duties. The superlative sports articles by our hockey. football and baseball enthusiasts definitely deserve praise as do the articles on pollution. including an interview with the minister of the environment for the Quebec government the Hon. Dr. Victor Goldbloom. All in all. the newspaper took a modern approach to important national events. such as politics with our inter- views with former Prime Ministers Pearson and Diefen- baker and Justice Minister John Turner. and to school events with our interviews and information. The profits of the newspaper are collecting interest in a bank and will be used for future years of the S.H.S. Examiner. George Tombs.

ANDY MACDONALD SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE RTHE HOOL YEAR i970-I9 71 43 Bantam Football Again this year the Bantam Football Team had a rough time. finishing up with two losses and one win. Despite the small build of most of the players. the team pulled through depending mostly upon their great determination and team spirit. They played every game. not to win. but to play their best and to gain experience. This great morale and desire to play was encouraged and built up by the excellent coaching abilities of the coach. Mr. Ian Burgess. who has been coaching bantam football teams for the past three or four seasons. With the same players. the same coach. and the same drive and determination, next season should prove to be a most successful season. The Bantam players were as follows: Asselin Heck Patterson Benson .lust Pearson Bird Konigstal Robson Borner Kyres Rohlicek Bourne Macdonald Ryder Bresnick Miller, F Sharpe Byrne - captain assistant captain Stark Chambers Nemec Stratford Hale Oliver Vandervoort SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Senior Soccer The senior soccer team was successful this year in defending its home ground for the second successive season. This record is partially due to the unity arising from a nucleus of nine members from last year's squad. Mr. l.ewis's coaching was once again outstanding as the team won or tied all of its ten games except for a hard fought loss to Northwood. As predicted the teachers were thoroughly thrashed in a resounding 5-2 victory which topped off a satisfying and rewarding season. Our special thanks go to Miss Wood whose moral support was always a welcome surprise. Selwyn l L.C.C. O Selwyn 0 Sl.

The season had its ups and downs. of which our prac- tice session with lean Beliveau was a highlight. Because of the relative inexperience of the team. we all learned much about hockey through our errors and the experi- ence of our coach, Mr. lX'lacDonald. At times we really played well together. and we Were definitely as good as. if not better than. most of the teams we played, Everyone demonstrated his eagerness to win by a sense of team spirit and a willingness to help the other players. Good luck to the team for 1971-72. CRAIG SHANNON. The members of the team: Craig Shannon lCapt.l Bob Landell lAsst.

MacDonald Colours for outstanding play: Steve Ludgate Craig Shannon Senior Hockey This season for the Senior Hockey Team could only be considered moderately successful in terms of games won and lost. but in terms of improvement in skills and style of play. the season was good. There was a large turnout of candidates and the team roster remained at 15 players for the entire season. The team played I6 games and another 6 scheduled games had to be cancelled due to had weather. During the season their improved style of play raised them into senior level competition for 5 games but the rise was not quite good enough to make them winners, but they managed a tie with Father MacDonald on Father MacDonald ice. The highlight of the season was the double win against Bishops School. Outstanding performances all season came from Craig Shannon. Tim Paul. Bill Ainley. Steve Ludgate, and Eric Kaplan and strong performances from two young players. Fraser Miller and David Smith. With only 4 players of this year's team returning next year. we must look to the Bantam team for many players. l would like to extend my congratulations to all the members of the Senior Team for a good effort especially when it counted. by Mr. A. MacDonald. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970-1971 47 Bantam Hockey Captains comments: This vear's team was marred by inconsistency. One game we would be unbeatable and the next ue would play terribly, This seasons record would have been much better if we could have played consistently and if we Could have gotten a break or two in the games that we tied. This years team enjoyed a high morale and a high degree of sportsnianship. Mr. Mcflernan is deserving of high praise. A lot of boys had never played on a team before and lacked know- ledge of the game. He was able to teach Us the funda- mentals which will result in a better team next year. In retrospect. although this years team lacked in- dividual stars, we made up for it with a great deal of drive and determination while at the same time we demon- strated a high degree of sportsmanship, BRUCE NllI.I.ER.

Peter Roden VII A l 55 NIITD I-F SC!-Io 0 L FIRST 101135 Voyage to Saturn Today was the day-the great hustle and bustle that had been going on for months in the space station was edging towards its climax. The third Satum landing ex- pedition was due to leave the station in a shon time. There was hope that it would succeedg the first had crash- landed and blown up on the formidable planet. The parts of the rocket had been brought to the sta- tion from Earth by an old Mars Mineral Transport ferry. The rocket had been assembled in the station with the greatest care. After leaving the space station it would reach Satum in one day. This was possible because of the extraordinary gravity pull exerted by the planet. A few hours later. the spaceship was wheeled out of the station and attached to a space docking ring on the side of the space station. The astronauts were aboard: everything was in order. Soon the mighty rocket gently eased out of the docking capsule and glided to a spot not far from the station. The powerful engines began to warm up. With a mighty roar the back of the rocket lit up and in a minute the spaceship was racing through the empty blackness of space toward the ringed planet. Mis- sion Control told the astronauts to set the rocket on the computerized guidance system. The hours passed while the astronauts attended to their various duties. Suddenly a warning buzzer sounded. A giant meteor was hurtling towards the spaceship. Sweat broke out on the brows of the astronauts as they desper- ately wondered how to avoid the seemingly inevitable collision. The meteor was coming closer every second. The five astronauts. with advice from Mission Control. fired their side rockets just as the meteor whistled past the spaceship. Their destination. Saturn. was looming large in the distance. A mid-course correction was made just in time to put the spaceship back on course. The astronauts were then instructed by Mission Control to fire their first braking rockets as they were now in the planet's gravita- tional pull. plunging towards its surface. Then full braking power was applied. The rocket slowly descended toward the planet and the landing computer began to announce: Distance from surface-one mile . . . one thousand feet . . . five hundred feet . . . one hundred feet , . . fifty . . . twenty-tive . . . ten . . . nine . . . eight . , . seven ...six..,five...four...three...two. ..one...

Jon Hamovitch VI A FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970-1971 57 E rize rose Mountain Climbing John J. D. Jacobs had made it. He had everything- money. houses. corporations. women-you name it. he owned it. He believed in the material things in the uni- verse. and he had worked hard all his life fsome forty-odd yearsi to gain as many of them as possible. His trouble was that he was feared. but not respected. From the time he had been a street-cleaners son in the slums. he had had a driving ambition that had forced him to throw people this way and that to obtain his goals. He first had power-through-fear as the tough leader of an amalgamation of all the gangs in New York. He had gone around terrorizing shopkeepers. promising them protection in exchange for gifts and money. He had soon realized. however. that overt illegality would not help his aims. so he became the aloof leader. letting his under- lings do the dirty work. An inborn business sense and a college commerce degree later set him up as a financial king on Wall Street. People now feared his power. or accepted him for his money. but refused to like him as a person. Really, they had nothing they could respect him for. For this reason. he decided to do something noteworthy -he would climb Dwalajar. the most difficult peak in the Himalayas. and be the first human to stand on its summit. To make sure he succeeded. he would spare no expense for transportation. equipment. or advice. Upon his arrival in Nepal. he began organizing the last stages of his expedition. This meant he had to mingle. reluctantly. with the natives. He was struck by the filth and poverty in the lowlands. disgusted by it. He had lived too many years in the slums of New York. and could not pass through the narrow alleys without shivering from remembered misery. One day. while picking his way through a crowded. noisy market in Katmandu. he noticed a beggar sitting on a mat. surrounded by many people who listened to his every word. These people seemed to respect the beggar. to be his friends. Jacobs had so much more-he was the powerful white man from far away: he could give them gifts from foreign lands. Why didn't they look up to him? He went over and struck the beggar. growling. Filthy beggar. why should you be respected? The beggar picked himself up and smiled. I love and respect my fellow men. as they do me. Being at peace with the universe. one can do anything. and be anything. One does not have to own the universe to be successful in life, He brushed off his white loincloth. rolled up his mat. and walked away. Jacobs. laughing at the beggars naivety, went back to his arrangements. which were soon completed. By having the camps dropped by airplane at designated spots along the route, he would not have to lug heavy packs the many miles to the mountain. With the aid of the very best equipment money could buy. and a lowly Sherpa or two, he would be the Hrst person to conquer the peak of Dwalajar. Three weeks later. Jacobs was clinging to the side of the mountain. a few hundred feet below the summit. A strong blizzard was blowing. making the going extremely difficult. His faithful Sherpa, whom he treated with ab- solutely no respect the had an over-ripe smellj. supported him as he surveyed the final assault through gaps in the storm. They were growing colder and more uncomfort- able every minute. An hour later. he crawled over the top. half-frozen. The air was surprisingly warm. and a bowl twenty feet across had been melted out of the snow at the peak. The Sherpa uttered an exclamation of joy and rushed over to the side of the beggar. who was sitting on his mat in the center of the bowl. still wearing nothing but a spotless loincloth. They started jabbering away in a language Jacobs could not understand. and the mutual liking and respect in their eyes was enough to make him sick. He interrupted them, saying. How did you get up here? You didn't pass us on the way up-you don't even have any equipment. The beggar smiled and said. You mean you walked? Jacobs' mouth dropped open in surprise. The beggar spread forth his arms to indicate the world, Anything is possible when you respect the universe. With that. he took hold of the Sherpa's hand. and they both disappeared. The wind returned to the top of the mountain. and Jacobs began his lonely descent. Michael Lapin VII A Prize poeiiy Contentment He strides across the world Sowing ideas of peace. The seeds dig into the soil. Take root, And grow tall and strong. He smiles warmly down. And closes his eyes. Reviewing pictures of an inner world. And feels sleepily satisfied With his work.

Karass VI A A Gastronomic Quest There was once. in this universe. a very rich king. named Preedoe II. who lived on the luxury planet Yojne. This king was a great gourmand. and devoted himself to his hobby. His life was practically one long procession of Hne foods of all sorts. In fact. all he ever did ww eat. and during his life he ate practically every type of delicacy available among the known worlds. His only view of Yojne was of a constant line of bearers bringing in new dishes. and of the anxious chefs hovering beside each dish. Yojne's only view of Preedoe II was of a twenty-five ton. roly-poly mass of tentacles surrounding a beautiful mouth. which was equipped with many rows of splendid teeth and an enormous red tongue. studded with foot-wide taste-buds. This mouth could accept any form of nourish- ment. including. of course. those chefs whose delicacies disagreed with his delicate. ten-foot-long stomach. which pulsated outside of his body. just a little behind and to the left of the imperial throne. Only one thing marred his happy existence. This was the thought that. as he could only eat a certain delicacy or chef once and never have it again. the had a stomach which was chemically fused against repeatsl. Preedoe II would eventually run out of different foods. the universe being theoretically finite. That is to say. without food he would die. tOh. mourn his passingll And so it came to pass. on the date of his twenty-five- thousandth birthday. that he realized that he had sampled each kind of food in the known universe once. He im- mediately established a decree stating that he would give his kingdom. upon his death from malnutrition. to the one who provided him with one last meal. the delicacy of delicacies. At once. Preedoe's most loyal subject. Fribble de Witt. came to him and said. Sire. a new solar system has been discovered. There is one planet that harbours life. and it is called by the inhabitants 'Earth'. Most of the native foods are found elsewhere in the universe. but there is one of which I have read in their Cookbook for Kings that has not been found anywhere else. Shall I procure this delicacy for you? Yes. oh most hungrily yes! slobbered the King. Fribble de Witt took off at once. In a few nano-seconds he was on Earth. He set up a completely transparent cage in the middle of a field in Twelfth Century Europe to catch an unsuspecting farmer. Soon. a two hundred pound serf banged his nose on the inner wall of the cage. and Fribble de Witt slammed the door shut. The great speed of the return to Yojne. and the exposure to the hard vacuum of space cooked the unfortunate man to a golden. mouth-watering turn. sauted in his own juices. The glass cage was set down in front of the King. the serf still in it. The King dribbled. What is it? Fribble de Witt replied proudly. Sire. I present you with the greatest delicacy in the universe. You are the first non-Terran to taste its delicious flavour. They call it 'peasant under glass'. The King sighed happily and crunched on a bone.

Rosenthal VII A For Claxton, your topic: The Joy of Mushy Potatoes I have during all of my many years never heard of such a preposterous subject, so it is with infinite difficulty that I discuss several interesting aspects known by me concerning this topic. and to fill the remaining space allotted I may only to please you comment on the other. ever-associated one: Man. Truly the subject is abhorrent. You know as well as I do. But I shall attempt to remark on it. if only briefly at that. It reminds me of a time when I had done something a little out of step - I was having a good time playing around. doing nothing bothersome at all. I just had an inner happiness. And then some person saw fault with my innocent actions. I don't understand what kind of people that takes. You probably know the type: kind of snooty. though not always. They're not looking for trouble. but they want to show their strength, if only in a very petty way. Maybe they give you a shove and yell something obscene after you as you run to get away. That type of thing happened to me when I must have been ten or so. I was riding my bicycle with a friend. and got off to pitch stones in the river. And after a while these two older guys came along. and one decided to beat me up. and did. I received a painful cut in my knee. My pants were torn there. and the cut was filled with gravel. I remember picking out the little pieces of stone. Ihaven't any idea why some people are like that. Something bothering them pretty bad. My cut was nothing compared with some others sustain. And the pain was totally inconsequential. I can't recall it. These people I'm talking of. I don't know if they're bad or what. Something in the brain, I suppose. Usually. if I'm punched by someone. I don't hit back. but sometimes my temper takes hold of me. It's not a very good state to be in: when your temper is in control of you and the goodness that your parents among others have tried so hard to foster in you is totally absent. What is there to do about this type of person? Nothing really seems to work. There's no sign I've noticed to prove that any sort of punishment reforms the misguided. Perhaps punisment is a negative approach and a more positive one like preaching a religion or a philosophy would be more appropriate. In these very trying times when any association with guilt produces shame in the hearts of the innocent. it might be better to reorganize one's patterns of behavior and thought to produce an atmosphere not only of greater friendship. but also of understanding. There arc two choices one has: to give something useful to the world community or to give nothing at all. I mean it. George Tombs V B SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Man Retiring As I take off my robe of office and hang it in the back of the closet. I feel the weight of petty pride slip from my tired shoulder. And all the little schemes. the small pretentious insults to Machiavelli. the hurts taken and given fmay those that were given be forgivenl tumble down into a dusty heap among the worn-out shoes in the dark corner. And suddenly I feel that I do not matter. And a sense of freedom overwhelms me. And I want to cry out for joy. I will do momentous things: I will go to the park and feed squirrels and talk to the old men and look at the young girls on spring days: I will listen to birds in summer. I will hear the rustle of autumn. and wait for the coming of the first quiet snow And then. coming back to the closet. I will reach up to a high shelf and bring down an old. forgotten box. And lifting up the dusty lid. I will find my soul again. - Hill Old Love Translated from the Russian of A. S. Pushkin I loved thee once. and it may even be That love is not quite dead within my heart: But let it come no more to trouble thee: I would not bring thee pain by any art. Silent.

Londonl I sing songs for my own shore, but not in dirges for the gone glory of mouldering castles or dead deeds. My voice is the new voice of a new world. with the force of what is not content to be achieved, but always is becoming. I sing psalms, but not in the meter of Crimmond or the acceptance of my fathers' gods. My choirs are loud to the unnamed thing that witnessed the birth of my native hills. that poured strength to me in the moist air of that far place. I must not be there now. Fish cannot see the source or course of their own stream: only from out and beyond can beauty of whole things be caught. No. I will stand here where I feel the perspective of distance. I will shout like a madman to those who stayed behind: Be joyful. Be proud of your striding rocks and flagrant peaks. They have begotten a million hopes in a million places. Let your spirit rise with them. gaunt. bold and glorious. and in their own home cherish them. fBy permission Villiers.

Wondering what it was. I drove on until I could make it out. It was a great golden gate that had a gold path leading from behind it to a beautiful white building made entirely of marble. As I turned my head to look around me, I noticed many other people arriving on different roads to the gate. Then I thought of my long journey that had taken me from Thirl. the great city of silver. to here. On this journey I had seen and met many different things. I had had happy and sad moments, had had triumphs and defeats. but in the end it had always tumed out to be pleasant. Now I am a much wiser and humbler man than I was when I started. Forgetting all these things. I opened the doors of the gate. closed them behind me, and walked down the golden path to the great white building. Simon Langshur II A Too Little Time Nine minutes left.

La douceur. La tranquilite. La paix. Tous les elements de la securite complete. Les pensees iiottent sans cesse en formant une grande revolution un peu circu- laire mais vraiment presque sans direction. A l'etat em- bryonaire, les murs sont doux. La pulsation roulante fournit la serenite ici. Tout est calme dans la matrice. Au milieu du septieme mois, on a frappe. L'attaque etait si violente que les vibrations ont enveloppees toute la petite chambre d'un nuage de terreur. Elle a grandit avec une ferocite terrible et comme une symphonie mont- ante, elle a eclate avec la force du tonnerre. Tout a coup, aussi soudainement qu'elle avait com- mencee. elle a termine. Le calme est revenu. Dans la chambre blanche, la mere attendait le docteur en silence. Toutes les deux ou trois secondes. ses yeux se sont diriges vers la porte. Enfin il est apparu. Il est entre et il s'est approche du lit. Son air de compassion professionelle etait assez pour elle. Elle l'a aide en fondant aux larmes avant meme qu'il ait dit: J e regrette madarne: le bebe est ne mort. D. Gold VII A La Musique On ecoute souvent les mots de beaucoup de personnes parlant de la musique moderne. Les personnes dont je parle sont entre les ages de 30 et 60. Ces personnes gene- ralement sont trop loin du monde moderne et elles ne peuvent pas comprendre cette musique. Generalement, la musique moderne contient un mes- sage raconte par les mots et la musique. Souvent les mots sont ditiiciles a distinguer. mais si on essaie. on peut comprendre les mots. Aussi. ils disent que la musique est eclatante. Mais c'est tres important. parce que la musique contient un message aussi. Il y a vingt ans. la musique etait faite seulement pour plaire et n'avait pas de message. seulement des beaux mots. Cependant, aujourd'hui les gars veulent dire quelque chose. pas seulement des choses inutiles. Je pense que les jeunes personnes aujourd'hui sont plus serieuses que leur parents. S'ils veulent dire quelque chose. ils le disent, et s'ils veulent jouer quelque chose. ils le jouent. souvent sous forme de musique. En conclusion. je veux dire que la musique d'aujour- d'hui revele une attitude importante: c'est que le monde est fait pour eux et seulement pour eux. E. Kaplan VII A Le Retard Un jour. quand Jean marchait vers l'ecole. lentement parce qu'il n'aime pas le procede education , il a vu une auto qui se hatait le long de la rue. Jean a vu que l'auto ne pouvait pas s'arreter. Il a ferme les yeux et l'auto est allee frapper un vieillard qui ne pouvait pas eviter ce danger. Le corps de l'homme a vole dans l'air et l'auto s'est arretee contre un mur. L'homme est reste ou il est tombe. Jean a couru vers lui pour l'aider. Il n'etait pas mort mais il etait gravement blesse. Quelqu'un a appelle une ambulance. Le conducteur de l'auto est mort. En quelques minutes. Vambulance est arrivee. Deux hommes ont saute de l'ambulance, et soigneusement ils ont porte le vieillard at l'ambulance. Jean etait tres choque par cet accident. et c'est avec difficulte qu'il a continue sa marche vers l'ecole. Quand il est arrive a l'ecole, son professeur l'a gronde pour avoir ere en retard, mais il n'a rien dit. Il n'y avait rien a dire. H. Coristine VII B FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970-1971 65 Midi C'est l'heure de dejeuner. Dans les bureaux. tout le monde se depeche. Les ascenceurs sont pleins. Dans les bitiments et les gratteciels, les couloirs degorgent une foule d'une grandeur incroyable. Quelques jeunes dactylos qui restent se mettent a leur boites-a-lunch, en parlant tant qu'elles ne remarquent meme pas le gout mediocre de ce qu'elles mangent. Dehors. la circulation est dense. L'agent de circulation est harasse. On entend son siiiet. aigu. irrite. Les passants se dirigent vers les restaurants ou chez eux. Dans les ruelles derriere, une odeur de patates frites. d'oignons et de poulet Bar-B-Q s'eleve fortement. Un chien fait des investigations. Le soleil brille. Il fait chaud. Les ventilateurs fonction- nent bien. si bien que quand on sort dans la chaleur du midi, on se sent presque asphyxie. Les pietons traversent la me comme un troupeau. En regardant la scene. les cou- leurs sautent vivement aux yeux: les reclames. les vitrines. les passants, les autos. Le trottoir est sec. La poussiere s'eleve. Derriere la rue principale, on est entrain de bitir un grand edifice. Le bruit est epouvantable. Les ouvriers qui y travaillent. portant des chapeaux durs, ne semblent pas l'entendre. Dans un petit parc pres de tout Celia. un vieil homme donne it manger aux oiseaux. Sur le banc, ceux-ci hesitent un moment, puis. attires par des morceaux de pain, ils restent. Une jeune fille s'allonge par terre, une statue froide et grise la regarde. C'est l'heure de rentrer. Encore plus de gens, plus de bruit, plus de circulation. Puis un peu de calme. Montreal se prepare pour plus tard. Vers cinq heures, tout recom- mencera. A. D. Nercessian VII B Humanite Le dessin general des formes de l'humanite Ressemble a un de ces grandes figures, Destinees a etre vues de loin. Mais dans l'histoire, le trait est grossier Comme si, au lieu d'etre represente Par un individu, Il l'est par de grandes masses, Par une nation, Par une philosophie, Par une forme religieuse. Mais l'humanite-c'est l'individug Et aujourd'hui, si l'individu triomphe, L'humanite ne mourra pas. Et peut-etre reussirons-nous a vivre en paix. L. Karass VI B I L'education et la societe Aujourd'hui nous habitons dans un monde plein de problemes. La nouvelle generation essaye de changer la societe tandis que les gens plus vieux cssayent darreter les jeunes. La societe est le resultat de Veducation. Cest at dire. on forme la societe avec le genre d'education qu'on a. Au- jourd'hui nous essayons de changer la societe sans changer le systeme d'education. et c'est impossible. Et c'est im- possible de changer le systeme d'education parceque c'est la societe qui le regle. Nous sommes dans un cercle vicieux qui doit changer. Avant de changer la societe. on doit penser a changer le systeme d'education. Les administrateurs doivent savoir ce que les etudiants veulent. S'ils ne le savent pas. rien ne changera. La communication doit devenir meilleure entre l'etudiant et Fadministrateur si ce monde ne va pas finir avec une revolution sociale. J. Sadler VII B Mon Ours, le Radical Mon ours est le plus jeune membre de notre famille et donc, il est le plus radical aussi. Mon ours, qui s'appelle Teddy, contrairement aux idees populaires des radicaux. a des cheveux courts. Mais. il faut dire qu'il a beaucoup de cheveux courts. Beaucoup de personnes disent que quand il milrira il changera. Je pense qu'ils sont des fous Teddy n'a pas change depuis quatorze ans. Je suppose que vous voulez savoir ce qu'il a fait pour meriter le titre de Radical. Premierement, il ne va pas fi l'ecole, parce qu'il ne veut pas etre insulte, degrade: aussi il ne veut pas etre le pro- duit d'un regime archaique. Pourtant. il ne veut pas etre un membre du departement de Sanitation. Teddy ne porte pas d'habits. il est tres amer parce que que le systeme a dit: Il est defendu de regarder ton corps propre . Le systeme a dit: Tu dois aller chez Howarths pour depenser une centaine de dollars pour des habits. Teddy dit: J'ai beaucoup de cheveux. Mon corps est beau. Je n'ai pas besoin de recouvrir mon corps. Finalement, il n'a pas d'argent, il ne veut pas avoir d'argent, les raisons sont evidentes en soi. Mon ours est un citoyen de l'avenir. Il est vraiment un ours de la revolution. Il est un enemi de la societe. La force au peuple! La force a la revolution! !

La gloire des rois et de la Patrie Il n'y a pas d'abris contre les Parques: Sont des ombres. quelque chose sans realite: La mort place ses mains glacees sur toutes les choses: Meme le roi et la couronne Doivent tomber par terre Et dans la poussiere finir egaux aux indigents. Quelqucs hommes avec des epees peuvent devaster les champs, Et planter de frais lauriers la ou ils tuent: Mais leur force doit ceder enfin: lls tuent l'un l'autre encore: Tot ou lard lls se penchent au destin Et doivent abandonner leur respiration halletante. lQuand. captifs pales. ils glissent vers la mortl.

Nous avons commence au Lac Tremblant ou un camion nous avait laisse avec toutes nos provisions et trois pirogues. Nous avons passe la premiere journee at avironner sur le Lac Tremblant et puis sur l'etroite riviere Diable jusqu'au point oil celle-ci se decharge dans la Rouge. Le Diable n'a que quelques pieds de profondeur et a le fond et les rives tres boueux. Il y a une ferme environ tous les cinq milles sur les bancs. Les deuxiemes et troisiemes jours furent plus difficiles que le premier. La Rouge etait plus profonde et plus large que La Diable. avait un fond de sable Rouge. et on ne voyait de maison nullepart. La plupart du temps, la riviere s'ecoulait lentement: mais il y avait aussi beaucoup de rapides dangereuses. Nous nous sommes seulement ar- retes pour faire cuire un repas. pour manger ou pour eriger un camp. La troisieme nuit. nous avons dormi dans une vieille grange abandonnee, et le prochain jour le camion nous a ramasses. Le voyage sur la longue et sinueuse riviere avait ete vraiment merveilleux. Ce fut une bonne expe- rience. et les images du paysage sont encore dans ma memoire. Mais peut-etre la meilleure de toutes fut la sensation que j'ai eprouve d'etre dans le desert avec rien autour de moi sauf la riviere, les collines. les arbres, et la beaute simple de la nature inexploree. J. McCallum VI B FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970-1971 67 Les Ombres L'enfant ne dort pas dans son lit. Il est effraye par le vent hurlant et les ombres dansantes sur ses murs. Les ombres de ses animaux en peluche sont enormes, projetees sur le mur par les lumieres du dehors. Ses habits, lances nonchalament sur une chaise, jettent aussi des ombres particulieres. Il voit des sorcieres et des lutins, des geants et des dragons. L'enfant craint ce qu'il voit. Moi je ne craindrais pas. La jeune femme va a la hate, seule dans l'obscurite. Les batiments autour d'elle parraissent grands et horribles. L'unique lumiere provient-d'une faible lampe dans la rue. leur ombre la remplissent de crainte. Sa propre ombre lui fait peur. Elle imagine des choses terribles et com- mence ix courir. Le seul bruit est celui de ses talons sur le trottoir. Elle craint ce qu'elle voit et ce qu'elle ne voit pas. Moi je ne le craindrais pas. Le soldat reste avec anxiete a la porte. Au travers du rideau de la fenetre il peut voir les formes d'un homme et d'une femme avec leurs tetes courbees comme s'ils chuchotaient. C'est dif'Iicile de determiner 5. qui sont les ombres. Il prie que son amoureuse n'aime pas trouve un autre amoureux pendant son absence. Il craint ce quil voit. Moi je ne le craindrai pas. Je ne craindrai pas les ombres sur le mur. Elles seraient mes amies. Je les regarderaient pendant qu'elles danse- raient, et je danserait avec elles. Je ne craindrai pas de marcher dans Fobscurite et de voir les ombres des grands batiments. Elles seraient des ombres amicales. Je ne craindrai pas de voir les ombres de deux per- sonnes au travers d'une fenetre. Elles seraient mes amies. Elles seraient des ombres heureuses. Je ne craint pas les ombres. Je prie pour elles 5 la place. Tous le jour je prie pour voir une ombre, une seule ombre, n'importe qu'elle ombre, pour seulement un mo- ment. Ie suis aveugle. M. Moffat VI B Le Meilleur Moyen de voyager Il y a quelques annees, les representants des lignes de Chemin de Fer de 13 pays Europeens CL'Angleterre, la France, l'Espagne, le Portugal, l'Italie, la Belgique, les Pays-Bas, l'Allemagne, la Suisse, l'Autriche, le Dane- mark, la Norvege et la Suedel se reunirent pour essayer d'etablir un systeme par lequel les etudiants pourraient Voyager par chemin de fer en Europe, tout en depensant le moins d'argent possible. Heureusement, ils trouverent un systeme tres efticace et qui fut remunere d'un succes immediat: l'Eurailpass. L'achat d'un Eurailpass vous permet de Voyager en toute liberte sur les chemins de fer des treize pays men- tionnes plus haut pendant un temps definit. Le grand avantage est que le prix revient deux a trois fois moins cher que si chaque billet etait paye individuellement. Les prix sont extremement bon marche. Tous se- maines de premiere classe revient a 3110. un mois a S125, deux mois a 5195, et trois mois a S225. Des son apparition, le Eurailpass a connu un tres grand succes. Chaque ete, des milliers de gens profitent de la liberte de choix des chemins de fer Europeens. Cet ete, le nombre s'accroitra de quelques centaines de per- sonnes. En serez-vous une? C.

T. Howard VII B SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Junior Section D It takes a couple of weeks in September for the new boys to settle down and to become less bewildered by the sea of faces all around. Then small individuals begin to find friends, and to enjoy the cameraderie of the classroom. The varied lessons keep the children on their toes, striving hard to master reading, writing and 'rithmetic and enjoying the more relaxed French lessons. With TV. songs and games, it is surprising how quickly they pick up common phrasesg chatting with no sense of embarrassment at the new language. Art, of course, they love, and as they fabricate their amusing Modems they are gaining greater skill in the use of the small muscles of their fingers. Gym, meanwhile is training control of their larger muscles - and is a most enjoyable and welcome release of pent up energy. Some of their oral compositions related to Mrs. Maclean. will show how their ability to communicate is progressing. A Kite A kite can fly high in the sky to make children happy. To have kite races and win the races is fun. Nicholas Pratley Form D Age 6. The Blue Ball I saw a ball in the street. I ran to get the blue ball. As soon as I got it I went up in the air. I was sad.

They know all about the older members of the staff and don't take long to have the new teachers sized up. As high-decibel-noise-makers. they are champions! As authors, they are rather limited by the difficulty of getting ideas transferred on to paper. Here are some of their thoughts on travel and other things. How We Travel There are many ways to travel. One of the ways to travel is on water by boat. A boat is a very useful thing if you want to get to the other side of the lake. Some boats are very big. Some others can hold a hundred people. Some can hold only a few. There are many kinds of boats. There are speed boats, motor boats, row boats, all kind of boats. I like to go in an automatic boat. There is no driver in an automatic boat. Antony Burpee Form C Age 8. My Dream Once I had a dream about hunting. When I was in the woods I saw a bear. I aimed my gun at him and shot him right in the arm. When it hit him he went to sleep and he had nice dreams too. When he got up he was tamed and he was kind so we were friends. We lived in the wilds for ever and ever again. Antony Burr-ee Form C' A ge S SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE A Dream Once I dreamed about a clown. A poor man wanted to be a clown but he could not find a circus. Nobody liked him. He had very little food to eat and very little to drink. He walked a long, long way to find a circus. Five days and five nights he walked until he came to a town where there was a big crowd. Then he saw a circus parade coming along the street. lt stopped beside the crowd. A man called out, We need a new clown. I can be a clown. shouted the poor man. Then. my dream ended. David Daly Form C Age 7. My Pet My pet is a goldfish and I got him for my birthday. His name is Herbie. He likes it when I give him his food. He eats it very fast. Sometimes he does funny things. He jumps over his castle and sometimes he jumps out of his tank. I like him very much. Charles Mappin Form C Age 7. Travelling by Air My favourite way of travelling is by plane because I like going into the clouds. It seems as if there is so much fog in the air. When we are in the plane we can see all the fields, meadows. and lakes. I like when the plane goes up and down. It feels funny. Then the plane lands and all of us go down the ramp and into the airport. Then we go home. Nicolas McConnell Form C Age 7. My Dogs One of my dogs is only a pup. His name is Pam-pam. He sometimes plays with a sock and sometimes with a ball. If you throw his sock he runs! When you run down the street he runs very, very fast. My other dog is very, very old. He is blind and a little deaf too. I am very sad. I love my dogs. Timothy Skelton Form C Age 7 A Visit to the Doctor Once I went to the doctor for a check-up. He looked in my ears and at my feet. He took a stick and a flashlight and looked into my mouth. Then he gave me some candy, I ate it when I got home. I like it very much at the doctor's. David Daly Form C Age 7. The Bus I like the bus because it can take me anywhere. I think a bus is better than a car. A bus isn't expensive. You think the bus is slow, but not as slow as you think. I think the bus is fun when I go on it. I like to travel on a bus. Paul Mazza Form C Age 7. Tornadoes Tornadoes are very strong. They blow down houses and barns and break windows and blow off the roofs. It always twirls round and round. If you are flying your kite it will tear it right away and the string will break. Tornadoes do lots of damage. We don't have them very much here. They have more tornadoes in far away place. Nicholas McConnell Form C Age 7. How I Like to Travel I like to travel by plane. Before we go up the plane has to get some gas. Before the plane takes off it goes on a runway. A runway is a road that planes go on. First the plane goes slowly, then it goes fast. then it takes off. When it is up in the air it makes a loud sound. When you look down at the houses they look like ants. Stephen Nunns Form C Age 8. On a Train I like to travel on a train because a train can go fast and it makes a big noise! R,r,r,r, that is the sound it makes. It can go so fast that I don't get to see anything. I like to wave to people when they get off. I like a train the best and it takes you on long, long, trips! I like it when the driver stops the train. It is better than all the other ways of travelling. Clive Spiegel Form C Age 7.

I go to school And sit on a stool: I go home And sit on a throne To eat a roast pig And salad with a wig. Giovanni Galeotti Form BZ. Spring It is warmer in the Spring sun.

Bernard Form BI. The Littlest Angel by Charles Tazewell Main Characters: The Littlest Angel and The Great God. Once upon a time there was in Paradise a little cherub. He had short brown legs and a freckled nose. And wanted to be an Angel. So he went to the Gate-Keeper who blotted the page. The cherub was doing mischiefs: he sang off key at the practice and he was so small that he knocked on the wings of other Angels when he ran to his place. They all said that he did not look like an Angel. His halo was always tarnished and slipping. He sometimes bit his wing-tips and could not fly properly. Sometimes he fell into space from a cloud! He was called to the Place of Judgment. but he was afraid and so he walked there very slowly. He took off his halo and tiptoed in. The Angel whose name was The Singer was an understanding Angel and he laughed and was very nice as he remembered a little boy a long time ago. He asked the Cherub what would make him happy. The Cherub wanted a small box which he left under his bed. The Angel sent a messenger for it. Everybody was surprised how the Little Angel changed for the better. Then Jesus was born and everyone was happy and Cherub wanted to give him a present. He suddenly thought to give Him his little box. But when he saw the presents of the others he cried because he thought that his was ugly. But his was the best. He was crying in shame but he heard the Voice of God saying that the box was the best. Suddenly it started to glow and became THE SHINING STAR OF BETHLEHEM. It's a good book. Paul l'lOlTl Form BZ. SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE A Wind Storm A Spring day in May.

The wind tears down the old oak tree Wickedly But does not die down As it throws everything to the ground. A Wind Storm The sky turned cloudy and grey one Autumn day. The wind flew into a furious rage. It moaned and groaned, howling and screaming, and chased leaves in the gusty sky. The trees were bowing behind it in pain. People were fighting against it in rain. It knocked the tiles 'off rooftops. It whistled past windows and blew hats off heads, but the children were all snug in their tiny little beds. Philippe McConnell A2.

During the wars the House of Lancaster fought the House of York. Lancaster adopted the red rose as its emblem and York adopted the white rose. The war lasted from l-455-1485. a nasty, bickering war between noblemen who should have been friends. It ended with the crowning of Edward IV, and the flight of Margaret and Henry VI to Scotland. Marc Brett AI. Scotland: Thistle The prickly purple thistle is the emblem of Scotland. When Alexander III H241-857 was King of Scotland. King Hasken of Norway led an invasion to conquer Scotland. According to tradition. in the night attack on a Scottish camp at Largs. a barefoot Norseman trod on a thistle tOuchll and cried out in pain! The Scots were alerted and the attack failed. Soon afterwards Hasken withdrew his army. The Scots were so grateful to the humble thistle treally a weedl that they made it their national flower. Marc Brett AI. France: Fleur-De-Lis France has the lovely fleur-de-lis as its national flower. It is really the iris. It came to be popular because the Kings of France used an iris-like design in heraldry. Some people think the name was originally fleur-de-Louis , a traditional name for French Kings. The flower was otIicially adopted in 1380 when King Charles V ordered three fleur-de-lis of gold on a field Azure as the royal coat of arms. A legend says that the original fleur-de-lis is the yellow water flag iris. It explains that hundreds of years before Charles V. a King of the Franks, won a battle beside a river where the water flag was blooming and, in gratitude. put the flower on his shield. Perhaps this is not true, but it does not matter, for the fleur-de-lis is one of the loveliest of national flowers. Ireland: Shamrock The shamrock. not really a flower but leaves. is the emblem of Ireland. The Irish people love it. because Saint Patrick used it to explain the idea of Trinity tGod the Father. Son and Holy Ghostl. It comes from the Irish word seamrog meaning three-leafed . Long before St. Patrick it was loved by the Irish as a protection against witches. In the bogs and moors where banshees walled, and fairies stole travellers' souls, a shamrock held in the peasant's hand was protection. Marc Brett AI. A Dream Flight 14 was refueling at level 5X when the Martians attacked out of the sun. They were going on weird little space ponies. The Martians looked more-or-less like men, but where were the eyes, the nose, the mouth. the hair, and what were those little antenas doing there? The head was a round as a beach ball! They were obviously not men but Martians! They went around flaring their ray-guns. Suddenly something hit me and I fell to the ground. My brother was thumping me on the shoulder so hard that I fell on the carpet. It was all a dream, but I am glad it is over. Marc Brett AI. Our City This Winter The snow was drifting. the wind was howling, and cars were abandoned in streets and on highways. The people that were abandoned were luckily saved by people helpfully lending their snowmobiles. There were six people dead because of carbon monoxide because they couldn't open the window of their cars. Later. men were shoveling and many people were snowed in office buildings. Department stores and many trains were running off schedule. Airplanes and buses were not running. The Metro was the only means of transport. It was announced as a record snowfall, and that. in all. twenty seven people were killed by the storm. Some roofs caved in, people ran out of food and there were many accidents. That night the Prime Minister got married. The storm was finally over and many people were glad. But more storms were expected. Robert Spiegel AI. FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970-1971 75 The Storm The wind blew furiously and windows rattled frantically. Dark clouds roamed over the blackened skies. Not one person dared open his door. People were huddled in their houses like birds in their nests on a cold night. Night fell quickly and people felt warmth in their blankets. All night long the wind howled and scorced the trees and bushes. Morning dawned quite suddenly and the sky was lined with yellow streaks. The ground Wm wet and muddy and the sound of water dripping could be heard everywhere. There was still a light breeze from the North. but the actual storm was over. People were thankful. Nicholas Howson AI. Monkeys I feel pretty strongly about monkeys Three years ago I went to Florida and went to the monkey jungle. It was swarming with monkeys. Monkeys running, Monkeys playing, Monkeys sleeping. They were putting on shows and all sorts of things. One was Batman. and another was Robin. They were playing tricks, not treats! Thomas Johnston AI. A Bargain Our fumace is unbelievable. It just won't work! Every day I come home and brrrr! it is cold. One day a furnace-man came. He was shown down to the furnace room by my hopeful father. After an hour, he came up with the furnace-man. I knew from the look on his face that he was feeling better. I went in with him and heard the bargain of my life. The fumace-man charged my dad a quarter of the price! After that the furnace is fine. Every time I come home now I feel so nice and warm! Charles Wright AI. A Young Poet Named Odgen Nash There was a young poet named Ogden Nash. Who went to a movie called Mash, And it was such a terrible bust. He left in utter disgust. And said What terrible trash. Nicholas Howson AI. Q 5 5 , - - 'Vi' ' !g 5 Z, 5 .6 1 ,. 1 V .K l I Knqls l If , Xil kg l I ffl!! A Fear I was afraid of street-cleaners and the sound they made. At our old house on Chesterfield Avenue every morning the street-cleaner would come past our house making a sort of 'rrrrrrr' noise. If I dared peak out through the curtains, I would see a huge gray truck with a gigantic container on the back. Under it would be many scrub-brushes and water squirting out. I always thought it was a monster. I am not too sure how I got over the fear. but this is how I think I did. The street-cleaner came once more. While we had breakfast, I asked Mom What is that huge, gray monster? ' Mom explained everything. Now. when I see a street-cleaner, I remember the time I dreaded them. It seems so silly! Colin McGregor Al. SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Westminster Abbey I .im interested in Westminster Abbey because of all the tombs in it and the story behind them. The story behind the stone on the coronation chair is that. by tradition. Jacob dreamed his dream on it while sleeping on .1 rocky hill. The biggest tomb is that of Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I. Charles Dickens' tomb is surrounded by books that he wrote and Isaac Newton's tomb is surrounded by apples! Westminster Abbey is part of an old monastery. There are also two wax figures ot' Nelson and of Charles I. I think Westminster Abbey is one of the most interesting places in the world and I think it will Slay that way. Kenneth Clark AI. Greenbeard the Pirate Dazed and stunned, Alec lay on the deck wondering whether he could struggle to his feet. Greenbeard. the modern day pirate. was robbing his yacht. He had been knocked out by one of Greenbeards crew when they had come onto the yacht from their hovercraft. They were just about ready to go when Alec woke up. He had an idea. VVhen Greenbeards crew wasn't looking Alec crept up to the hovercraft. then with his penknife Alec cut a hole in the hovercraft. then with his penknife Alec cut a hole in the hovercraft's air-bag. Alec crept away from the hovercraft. Then they left with all the valuables on board. Alec watched with a smile as the hovercraft sunk a foot a minute with the occupants not realizing their fate until the water was up to the window. Alec called the Coastguard to come and pick the pirates up. Alec was happy. Added to getting his things back he would get a reward for capturing the pirate who had the green beard. What a day!

Z l' 47 BY 9-OST, FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970-1971 77 Notes from the Middle School This past year has been both exciting and instructive for the boys of the Middle School. Different groups have had the privilege of visiting points of interest- historical and contemporary. During the Exhibition of the works of the Canadian Group of Seven at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. arrangements were made with the Museum Staff so that we were able to send the boys from Form ll to view this important and exciting exhibition. Later on in the Year this same Form went to visit the Royal Bank in the Place Ville Marie. Our thanks for arranging this trip are due to Mr. R. C. Paterson. Chairman of our Board of Direc- tors. Under Mr. Rumsby's guidance. a group of boys from Form Ill visited Old Montreal and we hope leamed some French in the process. As this goes to press the boys in Forms I and ll are getting ready to leave for an all day trip to Upper Canada Village. We have been fortunate in obtaining the assist- ance of five mothers to assist in the supervision of the boys during this trip. This is the first visit any group from Selwyn House has made to Upper Canada Village. but we hope that it will become an annual event. During the latter part of the year nine boys from Form I have been attending the Fire Prevention Course sponsored by the City of Westmount. This course has always been highly successful in the past and I have every confidence that this year's results will be just as good. Our congratulations go to Richard Small of Form ll, Richard won the Internal Scholarship given to boys pres- ently enrolled at Selwyn House. There were ten boys competing for this award and all are to be commended for their fine achievement. Scholarships were also award- ed to Bruce McArthur of St. Jean. P.Q. and Michael Gabriel of the Town of Mount Royal. We congratulate these two boys and look forward to having them with us next September. J. P. M. SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE A Memorial to Jonathan Benbow The students and staff of Selwyn House School were deeply touched by the recent death of Jon Benbow. Jon was the Head Prefect of Selwyn House School two years ago. and he did an extremely fine job in that capacity. He had the respect and esteem of the entire student body as well as that of the staff, and he had great pride in Selwyn House. His philosophy of life showed great maturity and in- sight. and his sparkling example is and will be an inspira- tion to all Selwyn House students. present and future. Eric Kaplan The following is an excerpt from the School Magazine 1968-69. This article, contributed by Jonathan Benbow. is exemplary of his attitudes and his approach to life. GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE 8- HASTE, 8. REMEMBER WHAT PEACE THERE MAY BE IN SILENCE. AS FAR AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly 8- clearly, and listen to others, even the dull 8. ignoranty they too have their story. Avoid loud 8. aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain 8- bitter, for always there will be greater 8- lesser persons than yourself. Enioy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is, many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity 81 disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue 8- loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees 8t the stars, you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is un- folding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors 81 aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery 8. broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
