In viewing the year in retrospect one never fails to find that the school in question has undergone some form of metamorphosisg Selwyn House has been no differ- ent. These changes have been in abundance for two out- standing reasonsg the first, being the change in admini- stration in the person of Mr. Troubetzkoyg and the second, possibly less apparent, yet l feel, equally important - an atmosphere more accessible and conducive to change. Publications like this Yearbook never fail to be in- fluenced by the school's environment. Thus, you will note that the content as well as the format which presents it, differs at times greatly with that of its predecessorsg but then again so do the thoughts, lifestyles, and convictions of the student body this Yearbook represents. I have said that the school has undergone change, but this is not to say that it does not need more, some major, some trivial. Hopefully they will be made, because this school exists for the benefit of the students. l hope that it will glean, and ultimately realize some of those needed changes requested by the student voice. Unfortunately, this Yearbook is not an effort of the entire student body, but 1 do hope that it is evocative of its emotions and sentiments. I would like to feel that the Yearbook staff, as well as the rest of the school likes itg for it is manifest as an allusive record of a year's passing in our lives. Larry Karass. Jim Locke. nrrrtt-sf.1frgg eg-if 1 Headmaster' Report i ' h d l d hi of Dr Speirs Selwyn House this year accepted me as its new After twenty -six years under the distinguis e ea ers p . , Headmaster, To succeed a man of Dr, Speirs' stature, the Headmaster of one of the finest schools in Canada, was not a simple matter. To maintain and strengthen the reputation of excellence for which this School is noted presents an even more demanding challenge. And for the boys and staff of any school, the appointment of a new Headmaster can be as traumatic a change as any. ' ' ' 1 d 'n man ' cases the change runs lnevitablx' a redefinition takes place of the structures within which they must operate, an 1 5 counter to established philosophies and methods. The change this year has not necessarily been easy for us all. As I write these words, toward the mid-December deadline assigned by the Editors, I wish to take the opportunity to thank the boys and staff for the co-operation, understanding and patience by which they so greatly assisted in making the transition period smooth and simple. ln articular m ' thanks to to man ' of the members of the raduatin class for their assistance and counsel. To these P 3 5 5 S S boys and to all others-ni ' best wishes for a ha ' and constructive 1972-'73 and for the future. , 3 PPE 6 QMrs. Roslyn Adair, Dep. Ed. iMacdonald Collegel Fritz H.

Shaw 11 .-Xt the end of the long and arduous progress from lower school obscurity Io its present dizzy eminence, grade llA looks back with justifiable pride upon its achievements. Of this long list, not least is the feat of growing into a corporate entity without sacrificing tht- varied individual- ities of its members. ldealists and pragmatists, conform- ists and radicals, have co-operated smoothly as leaders of the schoolg and cvcn though Selwyn llouse School will doubtless remain recognisable after we have departed, we shall leave behind distinctive marks of our efforts to mould our environment for what we hope will be the benefit of our successors. E.C.M. 11B I am writing this on a snowy day in January and, strangely since this will be read in June, am saying fare- well to IIB, Such is my faith in my form that I can say now that we will have had a good year--both a pleasant and an instructive one. I cannot now write of the history of our form since its history is not yet complete. However I know you well enough to forecast that you will have been one of the most amiable Grade Xl's in my experience. lt is my genuine pleasure to wish you well and to hope that you will be rewarded richly by the new world you are about to enter, l.N.B.S. 472 if' BLAIR BALDWIN Today we have on hand three special guests who all claim to be that well known personality Blair Baldwin, We shall listen to their introductions. I, Blair Baldwin ?rl, spend my vacation each year from the months of Sep- tember to June at the resort hotel Selwyn House, relaxing myself by playing football, hockey and track. I, Blair Baldwin 552, work twenty-four hours a day in order to pass my matrics and confine my pastimes to reading the works of Shakespeare. I, Blair Baldwin 53, am a militant revolutionary who is planning to over- throw the board at their next secret meeting by posing as that famous conserva- tive John Diefenbaker. Now the real Blair Baldwin is being asked to stand up. Suspense builds as they shuffle their chairs about. But no-one rises! How strange, he's not here. I guess that proves no-one will ever know the real Blair Baldwin, LUC BEAUBIEN ll y a ceux qui ne saurait sc reveiller et qui demeurent dans l'angoisse. C'est 5 de rares moments seulement qu'ils connaissent quel que repit et qu'il leur vient un appaisement qui les engourdit. Leurs membres alors se detendent et ils semblent oublier leurs inquietudes. C'est ce qu'ils appellent l'amour et c'est pourquoi ils cherchent la femme. Tantot elle est une et tantot elles sont plusieurs. Tant6t elle est pres de vous, vous l'entendez respirerg tant'ot elle est dans la chambre d'a Cote. Tantot elle est seule, tantot avec un autre qui s'en va ou qui reste. Elle est 15 dans vos grandes angoisses. Vous pouvez compter rencontrer au tournant d'un long couloir, ou bien ouvrer cette porte, elle y est. Parfois aussi elle vous attend au bout du raisonnement quand vous chercher 5 vous justifier. GERRY BOURNE Ambition: To walk one evening to the end of the heath and touch the sky with my fingers. Probable Destination: To be enslaved by my own system. Awards: Two pieces of material and an occasional smile. Life is a jestg and all things show it, l thought so onceg but now I know it. 1770, John Gay And after meditating for fifty years the wise man saw in a thunderbolt the meaning of life. And he rose to walk up the mountain to the river of eternal life called Nirvana. And on the way he stumbled on the rock of the two energies, and he died with his face in the mud of the bank of the river. And maggots ate his flesh. I3 i U ....-I 'Y I A --.-xv.

RICHARD BRODKIN Misrepresentationsu Looking in a mirror you see a reversed image of yourself, But although you seek the truth, The reflection does not show yourself. The false image projected Can only be rejected: For only those that know who you are Can know for sure what you are.

NJ J i A KEVIN CLARKE Live your life the way you want to within the boundaries of your own mind WAYNE DIBBEN Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

The pessimist has the best of all possible words: if things go wrong, he's never disappointed, fand perhaps even vindicated, but then, who wants the Jeremiah of the year awardj.

JONATHAN D, HAMOVITCH I have mentally left this world of matter, and have gone to another world free of hardships and afflictions. . .l dwell in the world of the spirit, and am now gather- ing knowledge in a new cosmos. l wish everyone could join me, - Kahlil Gibran l would like to thank all of those, who, during my years at Selwyn, were al- ways kind and considerate, who never ridiculed me but helped me and gave me guidance, who were pleasant to be with in work and play, who were never selfish but thought of others, who always thought of my best and never my worst, and, mostly who were happy to accept me for who I am.

Cheerio! 4-'4' LARRY KARASS To know what is unpenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty. Albert Einstein We didn't choose the day of our birth, nor may we choose the day of our death, yet choice is the sovereign faculty of the mind. We didn't choose our parents, colour, sex, health, or endowments, We were shaken into existence like dice from a box, Barriers and prison walls surround us. We encompass large landscapes with the aid of observation and memory, We know ourselves: but we aren't the only window through which we view our existence. Our eyes are on the future and we are certain that one small part of what is given us is free. We are children of Saturn who shed our influence on growing man. To us, the past is a foreign country, where things are done differently: but we know, through experience, that those who fly too near the sun get scorched. JIM LOCKE So you want to know the whys and the wherefores of the Irish ..... what shapes their doom and runns them on their way, Ray Bradbury Activities: Interrupting Awards: Punch in the mouth. Pet Peeves: Runny noses fSnivvlesj, Nikkormats, and especially the C. B.C, If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

Motto: ln NIKON we trust! Pet Aversions: Minoltas and other technical atrocities. 19 STEPHEN MACLEAN Supposed confessions of a second rate sensitive mind not in unity with itself . . . How sweet to leave a common faith. To hold a common scorn of death And at a burial to hear The creaking cords which wound and eat Into my human heart, whene'er Faith goes to earth, with grief, not fear, With hopeful grief, were passing sweet. A grief not uninformed, and dull, Hearted with hope, of hope as fall As is the blood with life, or night And a dark cloud with rich moonlight To stand beside a grave, and see The red small atoms wherewith we Are built, and smile in calm, and say- 'These little motes and grains shall be Clothed on with immortality More glorious than the noon of day. All that is pass'd into the flowers, And wild beasts, and other men, And all the Norland whirlwind showers From open vaults, and all the sea o'erwashes with sharp salts, again shall fleet together all, and be lndued with immortality.. .

L. of Pe stitence Y X I :U-is I l41fJ1 I L .1 -A- .Ll Bill S rt Club This year, for the first time, Senior boys have the opportunity to take Art. The .-trt Activities Period meets once a Cycle, and is open to all interested seniors. Since the interests of tht boys are varied, so are their particular pursuits. A few boys have met with much success in the field of sculpture. They have been working on a material ealled Siporex, which is similar to soapstone. Others have worked on wood, linoleum, or wax blocks. Objects have been set up and drawn from different angles in attempts at com- posing still lifes, Origami, fthe Japanese art of paper foldingj, maerame, Qknot tying with eordj, fancy lettering, and studying perspective are some of the other favoured activities. Not always do the boys spend the period Creating something, There are several gt -trr d art books in the art room to be read and discussed. It is a great challenge to learn about an artist, and then to try and imitate his style. The boys are looking forward to learn how to make plaster Casts of their faces, hands, and interesting objects. They will be doing this after Christmas, and what- ever else may intrigue them. hess Club This year the Chess Club was able to function more efficiently with the addition of intramural club periods. All of the members could play regularly at least once a week, and some boys twice. Informal tournaments were arranged during the year, and all the members have im- proved their game to a considerable extent. All our thanks go to Mr. Shaw for organizing this club and keeping the liibitzers under control. C. Noble ,i- ffeiy 51,4 X Computer Club The purpose of starting a computer club at Selwyn House this year was to introduce students to a field that is obviously be- coming an important, if not yet dominating, factor in society. Some competence in this area will be as necessary thirty years hence as literacy is now. The emphasis in the club's endeavours was primarily that of learning how to program a system and interpret the results. This was done on a remote terminal which was shared with Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp's School. Supplementary to this the students visited a computer center in the city and invited speak- ers to the school. ln general, the club's year was quite success- ful, and provided a base for further study in the field for the more fanatic disciples, among the group.

The first, under the direction of Mr, Burgess, met during the activities period to study still and movie photography. Many worthwhile projects were designed, including the making of several excellent student films. The other section of the club continued this year in the screening of four feature films on four occasions. The films includedg Death of a Salesmang Me Natalieg Hail Herog and Lord of the Flies. All the films were very good and the members found this to be a very reward ing season, apart from the financial problems we encountered JIM LOCKE Bri The Bridge Club has a membership of twelve. Some of the members already have a fair knowledge of the game, while others had not played at all before joining, The latter are now beginning to understand at least the basic rules of bidding, scoring, and playing a hand. .-ls they continue to progress, we hope to organize some duplicated bridge later in the year. To play bridge acceptably may be regarded as one of the social graces, an excellent exercise in concentration, an opportunity to display good manners, winning graciously and losing gracefully, and a source of great enjoyment. We feel that for all these reasons the Bridge Club is a very valua ble activity. dge Club 5 aa? F.G.P. usic ppreciation lub The music appreciation club is a new one, consisting principally of Grade ll boys. The aim of the club is to create and encourage conversations and-or arguments pertaining to popular music. It also offers the members an opportunity to listen to new albums, and learn about a subject that is otherwise a pastime. The attempts of the club have largely been achieved. The club has made use of the albums that the school provided. individual members have also contributed, from their own record libraries. We are discussing ways of increasing the number of record albums available to us, and plans are underway to attend concerts as a group. lt is our desire that the club continues in its educational and recre- ational form. We would like to thank Mr. Iverson for the concern and interest he has shown for the club. G . Hannon Ecology Club This, the first year of the Ecology Club, seems destined for great things. Under Mr, Stevens, we enjoy one of the largest memberships in the school, Although ecology involves much more than pollution, we are centering our efforts on this very controversial topic. Our objective is firstly to give the boys of the Club and of the rest of the school an insight into this topic. Secondly, we hope to do a small part in ridding Canada of pollution. At the time of the writing of this article, the club is just under way, but already, we have seen a number of good films and we have had some very rewarding discussions. We are planning more films and speakers as well as a few projects and field trips. We will shortly be joining STOP,qthe Society to Overcome Pollutionj, and we are hoping to visit such places as the Montreal Pollution Center. The winter will put a damper on many projects. However, we are hoping to join, or start, a worthwhile pro- ject, in the spring, such as a bottle drive. All in all, it looks as if it will be a very profitable year for the ecology club, B.S.

Q P :W Fergy's Fun Fantastic: The Library The library has been a scene of intense activity this years what with some 20 lady volunteers, 15 able-bodied student librarians, and one lady labrarian all pitching in to make the library a usuable, valuable, enjoyable place to be. Over the summer the library was catalogued from top to bottom under the direction and inspiration of Mrs. Helen Goodall. Mrs. Virginia Ferguson did the cataloguing and was hired as librarian in the fall. During the fall the third book fair was held: supplying the library with well over 1000 new books. A really big note of thanks to the student librarians, directed by Blair Baldwin: who have learned some basics of library sciences, helped keep order, and in general supplied a great amount of good humoured spirit to the library. Hopefully a new crop of 9th grade boys will be recruited to fill the spots vacated by the Senior boys as they graduate. All in all the future looks bright for the newly organized library, and everyone seems to agree that 1971-'TC has been a superb first year . tk. x -:- 1, A 3 3 .-, , . n...- 7-' r . 00' z , Er' .

About thirty boys were involved, in vary- ing degrees through the year, and certainly, a good base was laid for the expanded debating and public speaking program planned for next year. In co-ordination with the formation of a Que'bec-wide debating union for high school students, Quebec Parle , the Club participated in, and indeed organized a number of tournaments, and seminars on numerous subjects throughout the year. In November, two two-man teams were entered in the annual McGill Union high school debating tournament. The school hosted a seminar night, QNovember 265, for schools across the province which aroused wide response. Later, in mid-March, a full-scale tournament was organized in co-operation with E .C .S . lt might be said that this was one of the highlights of the year, as George Tombs and Bob Miller were on the winning team of the final debate. Other outside debates were held at B .C .S., Lennoxville, in mid- January and mid-March, the latter being the provincial finals. The school was represented there by Geoff Hale and Paul Xlonod. A very enjoyable weekend of debates and seminars was held at John Rennie High School in mid-April. All in all, the outside debates influenced strongly the activities of the club, and we hope to be able to widen our field in the future. Apart from this, the most gratifying event of the year was the success ofthe revived Inter-House Debating Tournament. Thirty-one boys participated in the month-long tournament, many of whom were from the younger grades. The tremendous response and often high level of debating seen during the course of the tournament are an en- couraging sign that the Debating Club, unlike many other activities in the past, has a bright future. The final debate ofthe tournament, held before the school on May 1, was judged by the President of the Treasury Board, the Hon. C.lxl . Drury, and lxlr. lxlichael Meighen, Progressive Conserva- tive for Westmount. Macauley House, represented by George Tombs, Bob Miller, and Paul Txlonod was judged to have defeated Speirs House, QPeter Shepherd, David Peippo, and Geoff Haley by a narrow margin. lxluch of our success this year would have been impossible without the persistence and competence of our staff advisor, Mr. Hill, and the enthusiastic support of Mr. Troubetzkoy.

Quiet acquiescence leans towards resignation as the wail of solitude seeks comfort: Harlow's monkeys grovel at fellow flesh and nurse on shivering comrades' breasts. Fantasy performs pantomimes of freedom on gravel lots, and wisps - CO2 clouds climb heaps of phantasmagoric anti-matters a lone banana freak opens Pandora's little box and seeks elephant crackers in alphabet soup. Sirens scream in unison polemic, summoning none but some to regimented order: finally gathering all into frothing abysses to face the Minotaur of the Great Labyrinth. Larry Karass o o i First Prize . A ' or Colour Photograph Larr Karass not shown First Prize Prose THE PUPPET SHOW The theater was full, packed almost to the exits. The puppet show was about to begin. Suddenly the house lights were dimmed. The crowd went through the usual oohs and aahs and clapped politely. The Shown, as it was called, was about to begin. The crowd was excited and expectant. This play had cost them a great deal, too much perhaps, but then, everyone in the audience could afford it. Suddenly the curtains drew open across the stage and billowed as they stopped near the side. There, on the stage was a cast of hundreds, all wearing the same, black and yellow costumes. They're all wearing the same costumes , someone whispered quite audibly in the audience. Of course, don't you see? His wife answered indignantly. He didn't, but did not press the point any further. The players scurried around the stage and a scurrying song was played. The audience clapped wildly when they saw them all dressed in black and yellow and looking all the same. The curtain closed and the scene ended, everyone clapped more out of politeness than from enthusiasm. Again the curtain opened, and there on the stage were a dozen puppets some dressed in gray, others in brown and a few in black. Suddenly on pranced a figure who was taller than the rest. He looked different, too. His head was twice the normal size. For obvious reasons they called the swelled-headed person The Head . Suddenly the Head raised his arms and all the others fell silent. My wish he said is your command . The scene drew to a close, and the curtain shut. What a marvelous example of dramatic irony , said a woman, and laughed loudly, but most of the audience did not understand. The audience settled back for the final scene, but, what was happening? The play was over, it had ended. Author, author , the crowd was yelling, not so much in triumph but in anger. They were charged so much for so little. They yelled, but to no avail, no one can speak to the man in charge. l don't understand , said a man. Don't you see , explained his wife, We paid so much to get it and they all look the same l do not understand! he exclaimed again. Unfortunately nobody does.

Miller REFUGE I, Man, born amidst a world of strife, Sought refuge and was sought. An opening appeared before me, And through it I stepped into myself. Suddenly, about me A seething mass enveloped me - Pictures, images of my past life. Refuge, I ran, but continued. Images pursued me. I saw myself, first as a child - Alone, alienated, crying, Imprisoned by physical deviation. All about me were the scum of my childhood. I saw my young self running, Laughing images followed me. I continued my senseless, relentless search, Surrounded by haunting images. My older self appeared before me, running, I saw my body change with age, but Ever present the same shame Ran along too. Refuge, To the west my weary, teary eyes were drawn. A door, an exit, refuge! I ran, And as I ran the images parted, and I was as before Alone, alone In front of a great door, Beyond it, voices sang out. I ran, and as I turned back, The portals grew smaller and smaller. Down steps, steep and deep in their cloudy mist I ran until the knowledge of my flight Revealed itself to me. I cried out in terror as a being, clad in red Beckoned me to draw closer Into my everlasting doom Brimstone and Hellfire!

Why, whispers a voice which strengthens the silence. I was once surrounded by a wonderful world. But now I can find no loveliness. The car is craved, the colour television worshipped. Materialistic kingdoms crowd the cities, And suckers of this super civilized-society feebly follow. What has happened to the life we need so badly? Am I alone in my dream for beauty of earth, sea and sky? Or have we reached that dismal state of non-thinking destruction? We sit and watch as the clouds grow and grow, And the multitudes and masses hang on to a hope Which really isn't there. And you, dear lord, ask why. J.

Larry Karass PARTICLES I tidied the universe: and mesmerized, I saw new shadows - concepts - emerge from the wastelands. My mind is not equipped to explain this cosmos - permanence flowing in a river - the universal portion of the moment living intensely within. Truths stream across time. And particles of permanence drift in the currents. Still, I seek my relation to the universe within. I perceive my mind, a stagnant pond, in humility and avoid despair. I live according to natural law but will never realize the potential process of the seasons of my mind. I live in a flux not attached to matter - a free spirit - swimming in the waters of time.

The walls were sterile-white, and the room was illuminated by a single orb which hung from the ceiling of my 'cell'. My senses told me that I was about to come to the end of those never-ending days of isolation. I always thought that a man's life flashed before his eyes before he was to die, but all I saw was the familiar cold walls of my room. I reached over to the small bureau beside me, picked up the mirror and held it before my eyes. Before me was the image of an old frail man, grey-haired, toothless and isolated from the outside world, save for the nurse who came in and checked on me when I pressed the green but- ton. She was cold, but efficient. I barely had enough time to say 'hello' before she was gone. She shall be the last person I shall know before I go meet my Maker. She was so much like the cold world that was a part of my lonely existence for seventy-six years. It may be ironic, but it is a fitting end. I began to feel myself fall into my Final Sleep which would take me from one world to another. I felt like crying out unto the world which had robbed me of my happiness in life. The words were never uttered - for I was dead. I saw my lifeless body lying on the bed, in total isolation from the earth. Three white officials en- tered the room, and coldly went about their work. One ripped the identification collar from my neck and read the numbers to another while the third went through my drawers for anything valuable. Ancient generations honoured their dead, but not ours, for all they were interested in was finishing their work. The attendants wheeled my body down a corridor until they reached a white door, which fittingly read, 'The End'.

Les Quebecois francais sont en majorite de quarante quatre pour-cent plus que toutes autre races. On peut bien comprendre quand ils disent qu'ils veulent leur education, organisa- tions, et loisirs en francais, c'est bien leur droit. Mais quand ils disent qu'ils veulent que tout cela soit seulement en francais et rien pour les anglais, on peut dire qu'ils exagerent. Au Canada, en toutes places ou il y a plus que vingt pour-cent de la population qui ne parlent pas l'anglais, c'est la loi que tous les services comme les ecoles, les cours federals et tout aurtes departements federals soit en deux langues, cellc de la majorite et celle qui a beaucoup de personne qui la parle. Au Quebec, ils veulent refuse ce droit aux anglais. Pourquoi? Marc Cordeau SEUL DANS LE BOIS Ce fut Pete dans la foret, et la brise douce qui vint du lac nous caressa.

SPORTS Fir t Term SOCCER PROGRAM -- 1971 The 1971 soccer season was one of rebuilding for our teams. Increased time for practices and the splendid coaching rcccived by the boys helped to bring about a more scrions approach to the game. Although the win- loss records of our Senior and Bantam Teams were not out- standing, the inter-school competition was an invaluable experience for all the players. Martin Lewis, Director of Athletics, was the princi- pal coach and he was aided by David Cude and William Stewart. Mr. clude is a newly-appointed member of the Selwyn House teaching staff, and he holds a physical education qualification. Mr. Stewart, an official referee of the Quebec Soccer Federation, was with us for the season only. lxlr. Stewart at one time played for the Liverpool Team and was a physical education instructor for a parachute regiment in the British Army. The popularity of soccer at Selwyn House greatly in- creased this year and the reintroduction of Inter-House games, especially among the senior boys, helped to foster a competitive spirit. Much of the practice time was used for the teaching of skills and positional play. The Bantam Team made its debut in the G.lxl .I .A.A. League. It won 1 game and lost S. Francis Baker was the Captains Richard Pearson, the Goalkeeper: and David Cottingham, the outstanding wing. The Senior Team played 13 games, winning 2 and tying 3. Three boys received colour awards!

S... -' I .ai FOOTBALL PROGRAM - 1971 The 1971 football season opened on September lst with a pre-school football camp which was attended by 25 boys of varying ages. Shortly after school opened, coaches were able to assess what talent was available to them, and they de- cided that the football programme would best operate at three levels - intramural, a bantam team, competing in the Greater Montreal Inter-scholastic Association, and a senior team playing solely exhibition games. Intramural football was at the grade seven level and this programme was one which was basically instructional. Emphasis was given to developing the skills necessary to participate successfully at a later date in organized football. These skills were then reinforced in scrimmages between members of this group. The second aspect of the football programme was the formation of a Bantam Team to participate in inter-school com- petition. Many members of this Team were competing for the first time in an organized league and they acquitted them- selves in a creditable manner. Of a total of nine games played, six were in league competition. Here the Bantam Team had a record of one win, one tie, and four losses. However, against Bishop's College School in a home and home series, Selwyn had two wins. They also recorded a win against Ashbury College. In all, it was a fairly productive season for this young group, and as many of them will play in this same age bracket next year, the prospects for the 1972 season look very bright. At the Senior team level, only ten members returned from last year's team. The remainder were drawn from the bantam team of the previous year, along with several new recruits. The team's record of one win and five losses is not truly representative of their effort and their good play. In three instances, they were playing senior teams according to G.M.I.A.A. classification, whereas Selwyn's team was, in fact, a junior team. The Anderson Trophy for the outstanding lineman was awarded to Greg Hannon and the Molson Cup for the outstanding player was presented to Michael Chambers. Gerry Bourne, Scott Robertson, and Richard Box earned football ties for their ability and sportsmanship. At all three levels of development, the coaches, Messrs. Burgess, Stewart, and MacDonald, endeavoured to develop not only the skills required by this sport, but also to instill in each player a sense of team spirit and sportsmanship -- values far more important than the win-loss record. A.E.?xl. Senior Football The Senior Football Team experienced a difficult season this year. ln the middle of its rebuilding program, the work of Messrs. MacDonald and Stewart was made more difficult by the traditional light turnout, and by a number of injuries. Even so, it was not too bad a year, despite the team's record of one win and five losses. The win came in the opening game against Stanstead as both offense and defence played well, and as a team. Sloppy play after a lay-off was chiefly responsible for a 33-0 loss to B.ci.S.' Varsity team. The Team jelled again shortly afterwards, but fell short of a win against Ashbury, Stanstead, B.C.S., and the team representing the Old Boys. All these were close, bitterly fought games Before his illness, Team Captain Mike Chambers was the team leader - on and off the field. Mike was voted Most Valuable Player. Outstanding contributions were made by Best Lineman - Greg Hannon, and Scott Robertson, Richard Box, Gerry Bourne, and Pete Campbell, who picked up much of the slack left after the loss of Mike. For next year's team, there is a solid core of return- ing veterans, graduating Bantams, and the hope that the conscientious coaching ofthe past will bear fruit. Qi-if 79 Bantam Football X Q , Ns Us ins- A a.....,,,,,x., -'dug This year's Bantam Football Team is the school's best argument for keeping school teams in the sport. Despite a 1-4-1 record in G.M .I .A .A. play, the Bantams' season was not a total failure. Far from it. We scored our first ever touchdown ever in G.M .l.A.A. play, after at least five years of trying, and won three games against B.C.S . and Ashbury College. The season started well with a O-O tie against Cardinal Newman I-I.S., but successive losses to L.C .C . C70-GJ, Loyola Q77-Oj, and Chomedey Polyvalent H.S. left severe doubts. It is a tribute to the coach- ing of Messrs. MacDonald and Burgess, and the play of the team that they rebounded to produce over 400 yards of offense and a 14-0 victory over B .C .S ., and a 9-7 triumph over a bigger, heavier Ashbury team. Next year's Bantams will be aided by an influx of 'experienced' Grade '7's, and will have a large supply of players eligible for another year of Bantam play. ? v I Ya !

Tenni What's all this raquet? 83 Second Term -43 , 231, 'X 'Ns 1 HOCKEY PROGRAM 1971-1972 The hockey program this year was basically threefold - instructional, intramural, and inter-scholastic. All grades in the Middle and Senior Schools participated in the first two categories. while the inter-scholastic teams, bantam and senior, were drawn largely from the Senior School. Students in grades 5, 6 and 7 spent approximately fifteen hours over a five week period developing hockey skills. At the conclusion of this period of instruction, an intramural league was formed for these boys. Their hockey season con- cluded with an Inter-House competition and the selection of an all-star team, which played a six-game exhibition series against L.C.C. and other teams of equal calibre. The intramural programme in the Senior School was of a similar nature, culminating with exhibition games against Bishop's College School and St. George's School. The Bantam hockey team competed in the G.M.l .A.A . league against other high schools. Our league play was not too successful. However, many of the younger players gained a great deal of experience in this highly competitive league experience which will be invaluable in coming years. Our Senior team restricted its play to exhibition games as many key members had graduated last June. Their record here was two wins and ten losses, playing both public and private schools. It is hoped that with more depth next year this team's statistical record will be improved. Q I-. ,.- ,f x -- 4 W- .14 ,, Q , . zijn?-f1A-:A-2'-'Yi'-f'f . - '-M - .41 .

The Team played thirteen games, all of them exhibi- tions, winning three and losing ten. The three wins, against the school All- Stars 15 to 23, Lindsay Place Q8 to lj, and St. George's Qalso S to lj, were interspersed with a number of close losses, in which the Seniors were in close contention. A number of highlights fother than the winsj, marked the year's play, not the least of which was the Stanstead game, fl to 4j, after which the Team was stranded by a blizzard. The season ended with a bang as a rag-tag col- lection of players representing the Qld Boys defeated the Seniors Q5 to 41 after a frantic comeback effort. The Senior Team was coached this year by Mr. David Cude. Bruce Miller and Don Shannon were co-captains, and Taylor Gray was the leading scorer. fvf w Am2 . . 4 1 'nl'-. ,I .': uil,!.ff J?

At both meets, the wide range of ability among the various age levels was immediately appar- ent. We have a dozen or so skiers who com- pete regularly in Zone events - one of them, Brian Fitzpatrick, was the winner of recent Taschereau race at Mont Tremblant - and these boys dominated the Senior, Inter- mediate and Middle School races. In many instances, however, boys were competing in their first race, and, for the most part, they fared reasonably well. If, however, the desire to improve and, later, to race was aroused in a few of the novice racers, their day at Bromont was not in vain. The Senior winner was Michael Chambers, while Gerald Bourne and Andrew Weldon took second and third places. Brian Fitzpatrick won the intermediate trophy, Paul Mayer and Andrew Culver were runners -up. At the Middle and Junior School meet, Robin Rohlicek was the winner and Robert Hall David Demers, Timothy Fitzpatrick and Jonathan Asselin took the next four places. Lucas was the over-all House Champion and Speirs took second place. 1. X559 V . 1' ....

Last year, the Senior A team went to the finals of the Rugby 7's tournaments, losing to Monklands in the final minute of the game. This year, six teams were fielded, as enthusiasm reached an all-time high. Five of these were entered in the G.M.l .A .A . tournament,held at lvionklands High School on May 27. On the Senior level, training began in mid-March, and consisted mainly of running and ball-handling drills, until the fields became available in late April. Thereafter, regular scrimmages were held between senior squads, and also with the junior squad. A large number of Bantam-age boys came out in April for this group's first practice sessions. ln contrast to the Seniors, most of whom were veterans of last year's play, and the Juniors, some of whom had played before, very few, if any, of the Bantams had played competitive rugby. Even so, they fused into two competent, cohesive groups under the coaching of lvlr. Martin Lewis. Coach Luigi's infectious enthusiasm and thorough knowledge of the game could be seen in all the teams - from the Seniors to the Grade sevens. The results of his work were visible in many of the games played by his teams, cohesive, aggressive, fast-moving rugby.

The two Senior teams, including six of the members of last season's finalist squad, played games against Outremont High School and Lower Canada College. The A team, captained by John Williams, defeated O.H .S. 26-ll and L.C.A. 6-0 before losing to Outremont in a return match. The B team was mangled by L.C.C. before defeating Outremont in a savagely-contested game. The Junior Squad, led by Chris Asselin, was O-3 on the year, but played creditably in their games, as did the two Bantam squads who were 1-1 and 0-2 respectively in pre-tournament play. The Tournament itself proved rather disappointing. Although the Senior A team posted a convincing win, the Senior B , Junior and Bantam B teams were badly outplayed. The Senior A squad failed to get past an efficient Riverdale team which reached the semi-finals. The season ended with the Old Boys' game. The Old Boys needed extensive staff support to come out with a 26-12 win on a sloppy field. Many players from this year's teams will be back next year, thus ensuring bright prospects for the future of the game at Selwyn House. 93 'Bur ... - 'r'v, W 'Q pi -I 1 , , r x J nf -- 'Q P , ,-f A 1 s , , .-' b. .

Dodge Ball has always been a part of gym classes at the school, but this year, Mr. MacDonald divided inter- ested boys into eight teams to form a league, which played riotous games of dodge ball in the gym during recess and after school during the spring term. During the winter term, many Middle-Schoolers took part in a floor hockey league. Games were played fre- quently, and hotly contested. Rory Olsen ended the year as the league's leading scorer. f 15 OP' Hf' f l WW T., X 1 V X I s I I X '. 96 Xl .Q fl I MISCELLANEOUS f. 'is ', Mr. . Gordon f Phillip With the retirement of lxlr. Phillips at the end of this School year, we shall lose the last of the staff members who worked under Mr. Wanstall. Almost the whole of lxlr. Phillips' long and valuable teaching career has been spent at Selwyn House. He taught for four years at Lower Canada College before deciding, wisely, to join us in 19335 at the beginning of Dr. Speirs' regime, he migrated briefly into Ontario, but was soon, happily, back with us. We have benefited greatly from his return, and since that time we have seen four of his sons pass through the School and on to universities and successful careers. It is difficult, perhaps, for the present School to imagine lxlr. Phillips as he was in those remote days before they fand in many cases, their fathersj were born, or even to recognize him in some of the earlier photographs on the walls of the corridors. On the other hand, there are many fathers who can do so -- who recall the delight of boys in other classes when, from time to time, the tranquillity of Redpath Street was broken by Mr. Phillips' stentorian, monosyllabic roars who can remember the alacrity with which they obeyed the shrill, querulous whistle, so unlike any others who, above all, recall gratefully all that Mr. Phillips contributed to their progress. Apart from his long and valued services as a teacher, Mr. Phillips has, at different times, been responsible for a varied range of activities with which the modern generation does not associate him. For many years he efficiently directed the athletic programme of the School. Until growing numbers and increased staff enabled him to hand over the work, he re-organized all gamesa he skillfully coached teams at cricket, soccer and hockey - and those who did not shine at these will remember his voluntary art classes, which were the inescapable alternative to them. For an even longer period, Mr. Phillips each year organized the track meet, which was then one of the two major social functions in the School year, with an efficiency which has not been surpassed. More dear to his heart, perhaps, was his work with the school choirs. He has been a Church organist for all these years, and his work at St. George's Church has been outstanding: at one time, he conducted massed choirs brilliantly. This ability he turned to training groups of boys in the School for their public performancesg parents and Old Boys all looked forward eagerly to the choral work which was so essential a part of the annual entertainments and the prize givings under Dr. Speirs. The School choirs, from time to time, even reached wider audiences through radio and television broadcasts. when Mr. Howis retired in 1952, Mr. Phillips became Senior Master, and the scope of his duties and influence naturally widened. He maintained a firm standard of discipline in the senior school, and began his long association with parents. With the greatly increased numbers which made the move to Westmount necessary in 1961, he found it necessary to concentrate his energies on the arduous duties of Director of Senior Studies, in which capacity boys now are most familiar with him. His work in this specialized field has been conscientious and thorough, and many Old Boys readily acknowledge the debt they owe to Mr. Phillips' guidance in the past. Conditions have undergone strange changes while Mr. Phillips has been with the School - and not all changes can be regarded as improvements, even if they are signs of the times. Forty years are long enough to be crowded with a wealth of memories, to be contemplated with happy retrospect or wistful regret. Not many of us remain now to be able to share those memories with him, but those few can testify to the contribution Mr. Phillips has made towards the development of Selwyn House School. Those whom he taught Latin can truthfully say, with Virgil, Forsan et heac olim meminisse juvabit All of us, even in these less classically cultured times, can honestly join in wishing Mr. Phillips a happy and well-earned rest after his long and strenuous stay at Selwyn House School. 'y .I. Markland ln 1943, when Mrs. Markland joined the staff of Selwyn House School, Mr. Wanstall was headmaster, and the juniors were sternly guided by Miss Snead, in whose memory the Junior House Championship shield is named. When, in 1950, ill-health forced Miss Snead to retire, it ended the link with Mr. Macaulay's days, and also marked the end of an era in which the work of the lower school had followed rigid lines with a heavy emphasis on the three R -s without frills. Mrs. Markland then took over the direction of the junior school, and she was able to give freer rein to the more modern and progressive ideas, without sacrificing the best in traditional methodss and that pattern has remained ever since. Under Mrs. Markland, the junior school has grown until it is now almost as large as the whole school was when first she came: in company with the senior school it has acquired a wide variety of activities which, thirty years ago, would have been unthinkable. lt now has a distinct identity of its own, and in some ways quaint customs of its own, which have evolved under her direction. It had been Mrs. Markland's intention to retire last year, but she was persuaded to stay on for a time to help Mr. Troubetzkoy take over. In June, she really will be retiring, to enjoy a home life with her husband, whom she married nearly two years ago - which means that she will no longer call herself Mrs. Markland. But the junior school with her under any other name would have been wrong, somehow, and hundreds of Old Boys will never remember her as anything else. And we hope that sometimes, in the peace and quiet of her well-earned leisure, she will recall fondly the swarms of tumultuous small boys who suddenly became quiescent because she was Mrs. Markland. A Mr. J.E. verson This term we regretfully bid farewell to Mr. Iversen, who began his teaching career when he joined Selwyn House in 1952. In those early years he showed his versatility to teaching middle school mathematics and English as well as French, before, in 1957, he was put in charge of the French department. He also assisted in the games' programme. His special field, which has remained his ever since, was the organizing of the annual ski meets - outings greatly enjoyed by all who have taken part in them, Old Boys of the Redpath Street era will also recall his brief incursion into dramatics, with his French plays. QNO other producer at the School has ever dared to slaughter the entire cast before the final curtainj. In 1968, Mr. Iversen left us for a sabbatical year. It was during that year that Dr. Speirs suffered his serious illness, so that Mr. lversen, on his return, was appointed to the new position of Assistant Headmaster. It is in that capacity that he will be remembered, particularly for this work in counselling the senior boys in their choice of universities, and in supervising the Students' Council, the Entertainments Committee, and the Project Society. The newsletter sent out to parents and Old Boys is an undertaking which Mr. Iversen initiated and continued to produce. In a variety of other ways, less conspicuous but none the less essential, he has been of great value to the routine working of the School. He has now succumbed to the lure of the commercial world, and is leaving both us and teaching. Perhaps we can draw some comfort from the reflection that, if he must lose his services, we do not have to relinquish them to a rival School. Many will remember Mr. Iversen with gratitude, and all will join us in wishing him every success in his new sphere of activity.
