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

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.

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. You may think this is not the real you, And search in a mind that covers: But your soul is not hiding in that labyrinth: It lurks in the minds of others.
