We were confined to our own coach, except at mealtimes and other occasions when we were allowed to mingle with the older travellers. They would stare and laugh at our antics. but our coach conductor would always protect us, clucking over her youthful brood. Often, we cowered in corners when other conductors walk- ed through our coach, their authority seemingly stamped in the fiery gleam of their eyes. Through the windows, we could see nothing but a wall of blackness like the in- side of an endless tunnel. Our world was centred in our small coach. As the trip continued, our status changed. No longer were we the youngestg others had taken our place. We were allowed to move more freely inside the train. We knew more of the conductors, too, but we still had respect for those who had earlier watched over us and corrected our errant moves. We were especially awed by the oldest travellers. They materialized out of nowhere and sometimes seemed more friendly than our own companions, but they still had an aura of superiority and importance. As we progressed, our world experienced a profound change. No longer was it introverted and self-centred. Our thoughts and actions became oriented towards the day when our all-too-brief journey would end and we would leave the protective co- coon ofthe train. Now the light glimmers at the end ofthe tunnel. We few who remain seem to ourselves no less exuberant and care' free - we laugh at the antics of the younger passengers. The light grows stronger, and gradually the challenge of a new experience beckons: to see the world outside of our dusty windows for the first time. Our school yearbooks are a record of our odyssey. Through pictures and stories, they bring back memories of changing school life as our train continued relentlessly on- wards. In turning their pages, are we not actually turning time back? However, the assembly of such a time machine is no easy task. I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to the Yearbook staff, and especially to Mr. Reid, for their many hours of work: efforts rewarded only by the satisfaction of capturing and recreating, in a few nostalgic pages, the spirit of ourjourney through the school year. Welcome to YOUR world of the past! Richard Small Editor -in - Chief 'Z HEADMASTER' S MESSAGE Dear Graduates of 1976, Some of you have been at Selwyn House for three yearsg others, for five, eight, or all eleven years. Now, as you leave, you take with you from this School an accumulated body of knowledge, many developed skills, certain values and memories - happy and some not so happy Qeventually time will erase all but the bestj. Equally important are the friend- ships you have made here. For the majority of you, the fellows with whom you've suffered through history class, with whom you've won and lost Rugby games, with whom you've shared a common grief, good laughs or the trauma of your first dance - these same fellows will be your closest friends in the years to come. In the increasing cynicism and impersonality of the World today, the trust, respect and affection inherent in friendships is a precious acquisition. Value it and nurture it! To all of you who go forth from this place , from all of us who remain behind - the very best for every possible continued success in the future! Sincerely yours, A. S.

Grade 11A can look back with a certain sense of accomplishment at what they have provided. Significantly. the students have reflected a strong sense of individuality in their accomplishments at school. For the most part, they have also exhibited a sincere desire to succeed, despite hazards and mistakes. And, indeed, many have enlightened and enlivened many school activities. However, as the actress complained to the bishop, Enough of these confessions, let's get on with it! Good luck for the future. B. W. Porter L- - iii 7 2' 11B At some moment in future time, when you are thumbing through this year- book, I am certain you will say to yourselves, We were a good class , and will smile inwardly at some remembered highlight of your senior year. Well, I would agree. You were a good group. Problems of discipline were non-existent. ln- stead, a spirit of co-operation and good humour characterized our early morn- ing meetings. You became aware of the need for personal academic standards and goals for post-secondary education, you offered leadership as Seniors and contributed to the progress ofthe School. By june 1976, each of you will have played his unique role in improving the School for its succeeding members. I congratulate you and wish you all success in your future endeavours. J.E.

When he is not being Mario Andretti, last year's winner ofthe Charles Atlas look-alike award is busy beating up big bullies on the beaches of Florida. Although Donald will be sorry to leave Selwyn, perhaps at last the calibre ofjolces at 95 Cote St. Antoine will improve. His Friend WA LDEMAR BOCKLER What can be said after eight years in the same institution? Striving for higher goals is the key. Superlative achievements like the model paper airplane that flew from the third floor to the synagogue one block away: or getting above 85'Zon an English paper. It's all a con game, says the English master. But the real teachers were the other students. Learning to belong and preparing each other for life and survival in a changing world was perhaps the IllOSt important characteristic in our model society. So to Selwyn, my friends and would-be friends: thanks! Now, we go out to cut new and separate paths into the future, leaving the old one, as nothing but a shadow in the past. DAVID DORR David has made numerous contributions to Selwyn House, so many that we don't want to bore you with them. One of his many activities, apart from backgam- mon and a partisan war on crossword puzzles, has been to take up big game hunt- ing fLearning to drive.Q and now has several magnificent specimens of those rare species of ulamppostus movabilis and pedestrians too slowus' mounted in his room, mostly taken on Friday nights after parties. He has also participated in other activities like reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic, and quoting Monty Python, which leads us to: His favorite Quote: Noo-oobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Ambition: Head of the Canadian Inquisition. Probable Destination: Washing wine bottles at St. Marys. DANIEL DYDZAK THE RIPENING YEARS Youth ferns sway in raw sapgreen wind Cloudy greys howl in sky Splintered blues grind Air like breeze pellets that pry Distance with a pleading unheard cry Years seem slow Years seem fast Flow Or gasp But still they pass Adolescence was never as bad lquite the contrarylj as these two stanzas, from one of my poems, depict itg and truly, I'm somewhat sorry to leave beloved S.H.S. -- the place where my adolescence flourished for such a long time, JAY FRIEDMAN Ambition: Wealthy business executive Probable Destination: Wealthy construction worker Activities: Football, wrestling, bridge, chauffeur Pct Aversions: Lunch at S.H.S., cleaning desks in the Geography lab, and the dry look Parting note: If at first you don't succeed, try again. . . then quit. No use being a damn fool about it. W.C. Fields 15 MICHAEL GABRIEL This is the best year A the last year. QMany interpretations., Dislikes: forget it! The list would be way too long! Favourite and only worthwhile activity: philosophising, pseudo preaching and con- templative time wasting. Sum up of five years of Selwyn House: why me?! Thank you everyone .... this is the best house of horrors I have ever seen. . . now can I leave? KENNETH HALLER You've heard the phrase, Drink with knowledge, Which you gain through years at college. l'm proud to say now that it's over For the last four years l've been cold soberf' MICHAEL HOOTON When Michael left a French school run by nuns to come to Selwyn House, he thought that beatings would stop. But his greeting to grade 3 was a caning for not washing his hands. Michael's behaviour still hasn't improved, as highlighted by his repeated tardiness, and Michael's reminder to Mr. Troubetzkoy: Look at it this way. sir - if it wasn't for kids like me, you'd be out ofajobf' During the past year, Michael has captained, co-captained, headed and co-headed a countless number of organizations at various times during their respective cam- paigns. He captained basketball teams and rugby forwards, co-headed the undergrad Crawler Society and the grad committee, and headed our most successful charity drive. Michael was also a member of raiders of George Dewland fbreak and post school sessionsl. Michael won the open mile this year, and was one of the eight people inducted into the sports guild during its first year of operation. Yet, Michael will be remembered for little things like his summer home in Pointe au Pic. the trophies he won in Murray Bay, his 700 game ping--pong series with Mark and his most successful social year and his tuxedo. But Michael's true claim to fame was an event which truly singles him out among Selwyn boys: his accident in drivers' ed. His Friend DIETMAR KAPPES Motto: Do unto others before they do it unto you Ambition: Botanist Probable Destination: Famous Botanist Characteristics: Reactionary. intolerant and imperialist Aversions: Progress. French and petty colonials Achievements: Remaining civilized throughout all adversity - at least. most ofit. . . words are wise men's counters. they do but recl-con by them: but they are the money of fools. Thomas Hobbes JOSEPH KIRKPATRICK Joe has been with us for two years and he has certainly added another dimen- sion to our class. A keen skier. poet. and individualist. -I oe probably understood Selwyn better than anyone else. except ofcourse good old George' .... Not that he's about to apply for thejob ofjanitor at S.H.S., now rhar lie's finally out of schooll But whatever he does. we are sure that joe will be remembered by all. BERNARD KYONG Man is born with his hands clenched: he dies with his hands wide open. Entering life he desires to grasp everything: leaving the world, all that he possessed has slipped away. Rabbinical Ana The above reflects my stay at Selwyn House. I entered expecting to know more, but how come it seems that I know less? SIMON LANGSHUR To put it simply, Simon was a very hard-working and dedicated student. This showed up admirably in his wellaresearched term papers and in his marked attentive- ness in Chemistry class. Known as a brilliant chemist, Si1non's favourite pastimes were bubbling off hydrogen in empty drawers and blowing glass. No slouch in P.S.S.C. either, Simon's on inal labs often left the teacher uite uzzled... An active tl Cl P participant in extracurricular activities too, Simon first achieved fame as a political debater and then drew rave reviews and theatrical acclaim for his sensitive ortra al i P Y of Newton in the French class production of l'Hercules. Who knows? Perhaps one da he'll be teachin oetr at S.H.S.! Y g P Y ALASDAIR MACAULEY It is as reasonable to represent one kind ofimprisonment by another, as it is to represent anything that really exists by that which exists not! Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe. Aujourd'hui, maman est rnorte. Ou peutfetre hier,je ne sais pas. A. Gamus, L'Etranger. And all shall be well And all manner of thing shall be well When the tongues of fire are infolded Into the crowned knot of fire And the fire and the rose are one. T.S. Eliot, Little Guiding. There are two divisive forces in the world today, one of building up, and one of breaking down, supranationalism, and linguistic and ethnic nationalism respectively. Where will we find freedom between the two? Long live Canada! Vive le Quebec libre! CHRISTOPHER MATHER Ambition: Rich international airline pilot. Probable Destination: Richer Mirabel taxi driver. Activities: Football, hockey, rugby, chess, -l.K.S. club. boxing. Favourite Saying: You wanna spar? Pet Aversion: After lunch, I would like to see the following in my office. Mather.. BRUCE McARTHUR Far be it from me to condemn a school which has given me so much. . . We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods. This I declare, that he alone is my refuge, my place of safety: he is my God, and I am trusting him. Psalm 91 Selly, I've learned a lot from you, about Math, French. English. even Geography and a lot more about life. Now it's my turn to take over. and try to make it on my own. Thanks for all your help! KENNETH MUNRO Although Ken hasn't been at Selwyn House for that long. his experiences here have brought him an early case of insanity many thought only existed for veteran graduates. Infamous for his sense of humour and supposed deafness, Ken possesses the rare ability of being able to completely disrupt a class in full flight - with ten words or less. A co-head of the underground Crawler movement, dedicated to such anarchy, he can be found anywhere there's a laugh to be had. However, Ken is also a conscientious math student. and with what he's gained from and given to math at S.H.S., - especially the latter - nobody would be surprised if he ended up behind a Selwyn Math Dept. desk sometime in the future! ANDREW NEAL Andrew was elected House Captain of Wanstall and Prefect, after participating in Football, Hockey, Rugby, Soccer, Track, Golf, Basketball, Wrestling, Badminton and Swimming during his five years at Selwyn. Note: we neglect to mention his academic standings, or rather , his lack of them. The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything. EJ. Phelps ROSS NORDlN Pet Aversion: The Village idiot Activities: Entertainment Committee, Yearbook, Squash and Computers. Epilogue: Selly has a lot of idiosyncrasies but that's what you must learn to accept at a small private school. Soon I will remember only the good times I've had here Now I must move on to something new and meet some different people. Adieu. ROBERT ORVIG Ambition: The Eiger Pastimes: Hockey, rugby, wrestling, Mountain Goat Society, Vice-President One IHUSI have a mind of winter To regard the frost and the boughs Of the pine-trees crusted with snow: And have been cold along time To behold the junipers shagged with ice, The spruces rough in the distant glitter Of the january sun, and not to think Of any misery in the sound ofthe wind, In the sound ofa few leaves, Which is the sound of the land Full ofthe same wind That is blowing in the same bare place For the listener, who listens in the snow, And nothing himself, beholds Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is. Wallace Stevens Word to the Wise: Education is like a bull's horns: a point here and a point there and a lot ofbull in between. MARK PALAYEW Since making his debut in grade 8 many accolades have dropped his way. He is the president, treasurer, chairman andjanitor ofthe Broken Arms Club - three times in one year. Owner of a great throwing arm, Mark may often be seen sitting with a bucket full of chalk pegging the Chevies, Mustangs, Olds and Fords, Mark has also been a star place-kicker on the Rugby team. However, his practice methods are a little unorthodox since he challenged the school record for kicking blackboard erasers out the window - 32! Upon reaching grade 11, so too did Mark's accomplishments dwindle. Somehow, he managed to make prefect and Macauley House captain. He even captained the Senior Basketball team and accidentally scored 32 points in one game. At his graduation I am sure Mark will look back on his four year stay at Selwyn and probably remember the good times: graduation parties, the ping-pong fiascos, the rugby, basketball, football and soccer games and the charity drive. A Friend Q-gg-ggi DAVID POLLAK 'does anybody wanna be anything out ofthe ordinary? asks the instructor. The smartest kid in class. who comes to school drunk. raises l1is hand 8: says 'yes sir. I'd like to be a dollar sir.' Bob Dylan 'The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep. W.A. So long. ROBIN ROHLICEK Robin, Qalias Ogrel has been around for a long time and he has left his mark on more than the desks he has occupied. He can usually be found in the physics lab trying to disprove Newton or busy writing a computer program to run the world! Otherwise, he is probably keeping peace in the prefects room. He hopes he will be remembered on the soccer and rugby fields for more than his bloody nose, but who knows! IAN ROSS Ian was an all-around great guy. Being untiring sports enthusiast and a dynamic party goer earned Ian his good-guy reputation. Although his sense of co-ordination still puzzled medical experts, he managed to be an excellent skier and avoid serious mishaps. A dedicated English student. we are sure the school doesn't look forward to receiving his first collection of prose and poetry! SELIM SAAB Selim has been at Selwyn so long, that the school is considering naming a desk after him in his favorite place - the detention room. We are not implying that Selim is always in trouble -just that he can resist anything but temptation. His future plans are many... to graduate from Selwyn, become president of Lebanon, and to build an atomic bomb - a project that he started in Grade 8 chemistry class but had to abandon because of his strong devotion to his other academic studies! RONALD SCHOUELA Ambition: EigerfNorth Face Probable Destination: President ofAlpine Mountain-Goat Society Pet Aversion: Ripple Tanks Philosophy: Eternal nothingness is o.k. if you're dressed for it,', Woody Allen Parting Remark: Living is a thing you do Now or never, Which do you? Piet Hein EDWARD SCHWARTZ Eddie will undoubtedly end up in Wall Street making his fortunes by selling pictures of his silhouette and pushing bagels on the side. Often the butt of prob- oscis-related jokes, Eddie will patiently explain to you in his best French that Charles de Gaulle's landmark was one centimeter longer. A sampling of his feelings reveal: Favourite Teacher: Mona Favourite Couple: Mona and Dabe Pet Aversion: Eddie Heath Favourite Pastime: Arranging his Marionopolis schedule so that he has four days off per week. RICHARD SMALL Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas. V Happy is he who is able to find out the causes of things. Vergil Ambition: Inventor of the time machine. Probable destination: Sightseeing on Krakatoa Island, August, 27, 1883. Distractions: Language, literature, nationalism, astronomy, yearbooks, tyranno- saurs, type S05 of 1897, badminton, trivia, and anything and everything else. Parting thought: Paradise is under the shadow of our swords. Forward! Caliph Omar Ibn Alkhattab SCOTT SULLIVAN Ambition: Marine Biology Probable Destination: Beach bum Activities: Senior Basketball, Soccer, Lacrosse, Photography Club, Biology Club. Achievements: Getting out of the Photography Club and passing Math at one time or another during my five years at Selwyn House. Pet Aversion: Monsieur -------, French Class Well here at last, dear friends, on the shore of the sea comes the end of our fellow- ship in Middle-Earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep: for all tears are an evil. j.R.R. Tolkien JAMES TURNER One Christmas was so much like another, in those years, around the sea corner now, and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six, or whether the ice broke and the skating grocer vanish- ed like a snowman through a white trap-door on that same Christmas Day that the mince-pies finished Uncle Arnold and we tobogganed down the seaward hill, all the afternoon, on the best tea-tray, and Mrs. Griffiths complained, and we threw a snowball at her niece, and my hands burned me so, with the heat and the cold, when I held them in front of the fire, that l cried for twenty minutes and then had somejelly. Dylan Thomas That one may smile and smile and still be a villain. Hamlet MICHAEL VANIER Activities: Insulting teachers, knuckle cracking, staying up to 5:00 in the morning working on a term paper, selling publications not found in stores, cigar smoking, general nuisance Ambition: College Education Probable Destination: Douglas Institute Pet Aversions: Unlimited Pet Peeve: Getting a S160 calculator and not using anything but multiplication and division. Favourite Saying: Unprintable ANATOL VON HAHN Anatol, or Toli as he is more commonly called, was one of the two Chilean imports to graduate this year. Why they let him across the border in the first place is still a question puzzling those left at good old Selly .... Toll Qmuch to the surprise of everyone, even himselfl won the most improved player award on this year's Senior Basketball Team, and then to prove that he indeed was co-ordinated made the Senior Rugby Team QGasp!j. Good natured and the foremost linguist of the grade. Toli seems assured ofa bright future - as long as he remembers to duck when going through doorways. WILLIAM WALLACE Activities: Rugby, Soccer, Football, Hockey, House Captain, Entertainment Com- mittee, Yearbook, numerous clubs and gatherings. Ambition: To accomplish something meaningful. Probable Destination: Leading principal in Monty Python. Pastimes: Skiing whenever I can, singing, checking out the various attractions of Old Montreal, wading through piles of work, and attempting to apply the philosophy of objectivism to my life. During four years at Selwyn. I have shared happy moments and much humour with classmates and teachers. I will cherish the memory of these occasions, but look forward eagerly to my newfound freedom, and anticipate the challenges that my new environment will offer me: oh that a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or whats a heaven for? - Robert Browning I wish much luck to my fellow graduates and to all those I leave behind. I swear by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand 25 'MC 5 f' 931559 A N 1 s. 3 f swf' 3 :-Q gf. ll Msgs igviglr - xr im x Jf7!s lCNJ HUGH WELS FORD An eleven-year Selwyn House veteran, Hugh is an avid Latin student and cross- word puzzle enthusiast. He can often be found buried behind a small piece ofthe newspaper, interrupting classes to ask, Sir, what's a four-letter word for a Himalayan gazelle? Besides this, Hugh has also proved a menace to all on the win- ter ski slopes, especially during School ski trips. However, with his Latin experience behind him, don't be startled one day if you find him leading guided tours ofthe Roman catacombs! FRANCESCO YARUR Although it's hard to believe. Frank claims he is 5 ' l . . . on his tip-toes. Known as Little Big Man or more simply and personally as HEY SPlC , Frank continually amazed his teachers with his vast knowledge of Physics and MARIA CHAPDELAINE We all know French was his favourite subject and all shared in his considerable dis- appointment when he did not win Distinction in French. Although he is not noted for establishing school records, he does hold a unique one: he is the only boy to have received a parking ticket while paying for another one in the bank .... We would like to wish him future success but that seems assured, seeing that he is a confirmed member of the Spanish Mafia.

Yau asf 'S ai-fgsgugmi' ' FAREWELL This year we regretfully bid farewell to a group of five exceptional teachers. All five, have contributed significantly to the spirit and daily life of Selwyn House. Mr. Kerry Martin has been at the school for four years, teaching geography, history, and science. In his own way, Mr. Martin has developed a sense of camara- derie with the students. A firm believer in this as necessary for effective teaching, he has been a symbol of enthusiastic effervescence to both boys and staff, con- cerned not only with the quality oflearning but also with the welfare of the stu- dents themselves. Famous for his indestructible flashing smile. he keeps an open mind on all subjects-- particularly to multiple choice question answers-- and can often be seen just chatting with students in the hallways. Next year, he moves on to Ridley College, a boarding school in St. Catherines, Ontario. Mme. Natalie Miloradovitch, also a four year veteran, has added a unique per- sonal flavour to Selwyn's French department. Polylingual, and a provincial exami- ner in German, Mme. Miloradovitch has been able to combine a strict sense of discipline with the fullest enthusiasm and encouragement for her students' progress, and, as the only Senior School teacher of the opposite sex , has enjoyed in turn the popularity with and the affection of the boys. Mr. Adrien Hotz, at the School since the fall of 1973, has also made a major contribution, not only to the growth and development of the French department but also to the teacher-student relationship on general. Also polylingual and a man of diverse interests, Mr. Hotz introduced the famous game of backgammon to the students as an activity group, and its resulting popularity has led to after-lunch games in classrooms--and the exchange ofhigh wagers on the fall of the dice. He has also supervised, with Mr. Fowler, the Computer Club established in 1974. Mr. john O'Flynn has been a member of Selwyn's teaching staff for three years, instructing in the History and English departments. A dedicated teacher, Mr. O'Flynn, with his wit and patience, has helped to forge, principally among Middle School boys, a large part of the spirit of Selwyn House today. An archaeologist at heart, his favourite subject is Ancient History, a new option introduced to Grade 11 in 1973. Mr. O'Flynn has directed this year's Chess Club for both Middle and Senior School boys. Next year he will be teaching at Dawson College. Mr. Kenneth Fowler, Head of the Mathematics department for the past two years, has consistently devoted himself to further raising Selwyn's academic stan- dards. A strong proponent of good teacher-student relationships as the key to learning, he has always been ready to give more attention to a struggling student. Mr. Fowler has also involved himself in many student activities, ranging from per- formances at Drama Nights--he is an accomplished actor-tojoining the Indians in wild dance at Contact '76. An engineer, he took charge of the Computer Club and had been planning to introduce a Calculus course to Grade 11. We wish the very best to all of these good friends in their future years, and hope they will cherish the memories of the Selwyn boys they taught during their tenures at the School. ,J Mme.

My name is Paul, I live in South Africa, and I have a cave on the north side of Kookamunga Mountain. One day I went hunting for some berries and insects, when I heard a twig snap and up popped a weird- looking creature, that looked like a human! It was a human! I thought that they were extinct. I started to run, but fell into a trap. They grabbed me and put me in a cage on the back of their van. They took me to a nearby zoo and I was locked in a cage. Part 2: THE GREAT ESCAPE I was in the same cage as some monkeys. One day when the man came to feed the monkeys, he left the door open and I sneaked out. The alarm was sounded, but I was already out of the zoo and into the jungle. They never found me again. I found myself a new cave and I returned to a normal life.

That night, we roasted hot-dogs over a camp-fire and sang songs. I ate more hotdogs than anybody else. We were all having a great time. The camp fire, with all the hot-dogs roasting, smelt very nice. Suddenly, we smelt a most peculiar smell. First, we thought a hot dog was rotten, so we smelt our hot dogs, but nothing was wrong with them. Then we started smelling each other, but none smelt bad. The good smell from the camp fire had all gone. Our hands automatically blocked out noses. Every minute the smell was getting strongerg and after five minutes, it was so bad that everybody started to disappear. After a very short while, I was the only one left at the site, but I was determined to find out where it came from. I kept walking around the camp-fire sniffing everything. I couldn't go very far, because I had no flash- light and the camp-fire light was very dim. Suddenly, I saw the food container move. I went to it and lifted it, and to my surprise I saw a skunk. I ran to my tent to tell the others, but by then I was smelling so badly that they threw me out. Then I remembered a T.V. show I had seen and knew that I had to take a bath in tomato juice. So I ran to the kitcheng but before I could ask for it, I saw the chef followed by his helpers run out ofthe door. On the counter were several glasses of tomato iuice. I quickly emptied them into a large bowl and headed towards the shower room. I rubbed thejuice on myself and felt like a rotten tomato. Then I turned the shower on and washed the juice off and I felt much relieved. Then Ijoined the others and told them what had happened and they all laughed. Sean Scensor Form 4A -,041 AROUND THE WORLD Once upon a time, there were two people named Bud and Mud, who lived in Australia. They flew to their lollipop station, where they got out of the airplane, into a candy car, and drove to their gum- drop house. They decided to have a drink of caramel and then went to bed. The next day, they got out of bed and had breakfast while looking at the mail. To their surprise, there was a letter from their grandmother. It had a ticket inside, This is what it said: Admit two, around the world, one way. They drove to the airport, boarded an airplane and flew off to Europe.

Peter Howard Form 4B ix THE FIGHT Once there was a boxer called Fred who wanted to fight a kangaroo called Jim. He charged at the kangaroo. Fred hit jim. but jim pushed Fred away with his hind leg. Fred went right into a tree. Then jim fell down. They made friends and lived happily ever after. jake Richler Form 2 JIM AND THE ANTS One day a mean giant called Grufenius wrecked a whole village. Everybody wanted him to be King. One very small boy, named jim, said he would try to kill Grufenius. But all the townsfolk said, You couldn't do it! You're only two inches high!! His friends the ants wanted to help him. So they made a secret plan. They would cross a lake and get halfway up the giant's hill. Then they would make a new plan. The next night they climbed up half of the hill but the giants saw them and caught them. But they could see them very well and put them in a very big cage!! So jim and the ants had no trouble in get- ting out. They zoomed up the giants leg and tickled him until he fell on the floor. Then they looked all around for some rope to tie Grufenius up. But when they came back Grufenius was gone. At last they found him. They tied him up and the ants bit him until he died. So jim and the ants went back to the town and all lived happily.

Bullet walked into the room. Mr. Bullet, you have been late every day this week and I'm angry! shouted Mr. Rifle. Please, said Mr. Bullet, don't fire me! Well, you better not be late or else! ordered Mr. Rifle. Mr. Bullet left the room. The next day, he was late again and he walked into the room. You're fired! jump in and wait! ordered Mr. Rifle. Mr. Bullet jumped into the rifle and waited. Bang! Mr. Bullet was gone. Simon Jones Form 4B THE PACKRAT AND THE GOLD MINER The old gold-miner sighed. So far, all he had found was one gold nugget. He decided to go to sleep, but, to his great surprise, when he woke up, his pipe was missing. Suddenly, he saw a shiny rock. At first, he thought his eyes were playing tricks. He stared at it and saw it was gold. Yahoo! Gold! Gold!'! he shouted. l'm rich! I'm rich! Right afterwards, some desert bandits, who had heard him. came and killed him, took what he had collected and ran. Douglas Green Form 3B In case you don't know, I'm George, a monkey, and live with a family in Florida. I'll tell you one thing about my perso- nal life: I get into a lot of trouble. There are two boys and one girl in the family. One boy's name is Peter Brown. He takes care of me. He gets into a lot of trouble because of me. One day, when Peter's mother was raking the leaves, Ijumped up on a treejust over her. She didn't see me, so I started throwing leaves, so that every time she raked the leaves, more came down. But after a while she got suspicious, and I stopped. That was one of my greatest tricks. Putting a rubber spider in Angela's hair, Peter's sister, so that when she woke up she screamed, was another trick I knew. I'm not going to do that again, because when she did wake up, she woke up the whole house. After a couple ofweeks had passed, I was sold to another family, because I was too cunning. Eventually, I was sold to the Selwyn House zoo, and had a fantastic time tricking everyone. Anonymous junior Monkey DANCING MAIDENS Here are ladies, young and fair, Dancing in the summer air.

It was spooky, and it smelled like ajunk yard. The next day, my friend and I decided to in- vestigate. We weren't allowed to go in the daytime, so that night, while my mother was on the telephone, we crept downstairs. We put on our coats and opened the door as quietly as we could. We ran as fast as we could into the woods. Then we saw the spooky house. We went inside and we went up the stairs. We saw alight coming from the other room so we hid under the bed. The light came nearer. My friend screamed, A GHOST! We ran from the house as fast as we could. My friend was terrified! We ran from the woods to the house and opened the back door and crept up the stairs and put our pyjamas on and went to bed. The very next day, the workmen told us that the spooky house had been torn down twenty years ago. Geoffrey Adams Form 4B THE ELEPHANTS Once upon a time, there were two elephants. Their names were Jake and Chris and they lived in a tree. One day, jake said, Let's have something to eat. So they went into the kitchen, but there wasn't anything to Cat so they got on their coats and boots and went outside to catch a bull. When they caught the bull, they set the table and sat down and ate.

At each passing hour, I had gone farther into the Desert. Soon it was dark: and, by mistake, I was bitten by a packet of Bazooka Bubble Gum. I was plum near chewing all night. The next day, I was left still chewing. While the sun was rising, l set out on Charlie Opel. my horse. Soon I stopped chewing and blowing bubbles from my previous bite by a packet of Bazooka Bubble Gum. I was very thirsty, but I finally found a water hole. I washed my face and my hands as well. I filled my canteen and I was on my way again - back to the main road. It was not long before I was bitten by another candy. It was a Marathon bar this time Qand it says on T.V. that no one eats a Marathon bar quicklyj. The next day, I travelled two miles north and I was suddenly home again. I was welcomed and told that it was my birthday. I was nine years old. Guy Wallace Form 3B 3 Xl 5 2 Y ' s .Q f 4.-3 .

We became friends immedi- ately. I thought of calling him Bo and my mother said jim. So my father said I-Iow about Jimbo? I considered this before saying Yes, that's a good name. I took Jimbo out- side and played with him all day. Then I went to the store to buy him a leash. I put it on him and he didn't mind it a bit. I took him home and fed him some bananas. Then when it was bedtime I asked if-Iimbo could sleep with me. My mother said, No but I didn't mind because it would be another good day tomorrow.

How can one outline briefly the goings on of over one hundred and ten boys during the course of some ten months of school? Perhaps I should talk about the visits to Place des Arts to hear the MSO. How the Middle School helped to raise close to one thousand dollars for the Students' Combined Appeal at Christmas would be noteworthy. A de- scription of the trip to the Soviet Union during the March break would certainly be ofinterest, as would the trip to Western Canada and the North West Territories by several Middle School boys in the latter part ofjune. Several amusing anecdotes could be related about the annual Grade seven trip to Ottawa. Many words could be devoted to the academic and athletic achievements ofthe boys. Perhaps the ingredient most vital to making any school year tolerable and memorable is camaraderie. This I felt was evident in ample quantity. To those boys leaving the Middle School, I wish good luck and success, and to those returning, I look forward to seeing you again in September '76.

Laubi. 5A It is astonishing how the chubby-faced and rather disorderly lads ofJune's Form IV are transformed, as if by some visiting angel, into the more serious black-blazered and long-trousered young men of Form V as each September comes around. Mind you, one sometimes suspects that the visiting seraph was a fallen one - but generally, new purpose and in- creased maturity springs from those who have entered the Middle School, with all its attendant terrors of fewer games' periods, recess with the BIG boys, and MASTERS!g of pen-writing and harder work. By October, initial fears seem soothed, and the latter-day Tom Browns have learnt that Mrs. Marsh isn't so far away that she can't provide an occasional broad shoulder, that masters aren't the fire-breathing monsters they had hitherto seemed, even that Mr. Seville is some- times a soft touch for the quarter which the exigencies of our economy demand in payment for the scrumptious slab of chocolate at recess. SA has its scholars, in whom flourishes the broad light of knowledge and a passion for its perfection: COFFEY, COWLING, DALY, DONALD, EBERTS, STEVENS, 85 ZYTO. A dangerous lad is SUSSMAN, for Mr. Aimers regularly confuses him with his brother-ideal for the odd test day!

He didn't know what he was getting into. He soon found out. The fight continued until Attenborough stared at them both with his baby blue eyes. The sheriff, M. Gosselin, brought these two away, leaving the twojunior sheriffs to finish thejob. Through all of this Burpee, Kraemer, and Gialleretto sat lazily watching everything. But soon the meeting returned to normal: McConnell kept hopping around like a fairy. Dale blew his nose at the normal rate. Then Zyto and Lafleur started the meeting. The first speaker, Irigaki, said everything with his hand over his mouth. When he finished the citizens came back from the Bar! The next speakers were a trio: Kohner, Yamamotto, and Martinez. These guys were the oos, ees, as, buts, and goshes guys, which they did for five minutes. Intermis- sion was called and McConnell, Zeaman, and Solgum did their corny joke act. The meeting resumed, and Sahai couldn't stop giggling. M. Gosselin gave his resume, everyone left for home. Plojing ofcourse leading the pack, and Bogert decking out everything or one in sight.

MIDDLE SCHOOL ACTIVITIES BIDLOGY CLUB Boys from grades 5-8 participated in the activities of the Biology club. Virtually all the boys wanted to involve themselves in dissection studies, and a number of interesting and worthwhile projects were realized. Without naming individuals: - an excellent exposure ofa shark's heart and associated blood vessels, some very good comparative studies of seemingly dissimilar organisms a craylish and grass- hopper: a sophisticated sectioning of a large mam- malian heart: the list goes on. For many ofthe boys, during the fall term, the club was a first ex- posure. The second term saw a change in repre- sentation with experienced hands returning to work on the more detailed projects. A highlight ofthe activity occurred on Activities Night. when many ofthe boys displayed completed works, and demonstrated their dissecting skills. -nr-iQ BRIDGE CLUB The Middle School Bridge Club this year had a very successful series of meetings. Under the able and perceptive supervision of Mr. Litvack, the boys cleared the various problems of the game, and enjoyed a well deserved break from academic activities.

To be eligible for participa- tion a boy had also to have achieved an 80 average last year. Almost all of the twenty-four boys who joined the Choir in September have maintained their high academic standings, de- spite being taken out of classes to attend rehear- sals: and almost all of them have also been regu- lar and faithful members ofthe group. Their work has not been easy. They have had to learn some difficult part-songs, many of them containing unusual rhythms. harmonic disso- nances. and long lines. They deserve congratu- lations on the determination with which they have applied themselves to the task. The Choir gave performances at E.C.S.. where they were received with a standing ovation: at Trafalgar: at The Study: at Queen Mary's Vete- ran's Hospital: as well as at Selwyn House. The boys played a central role in the yearly drama- tic production: they were the costumed and musical counterparts of the classical Greek chorus in our own Olympian festivity. The year's activities were rounded offby a recital given at St. Mathias' Parish Hall on May 26. Among the soloists on that occasion were john Shannon, Aidan Hollis. Sean Lafleur, Andrew Vivian, and Douglas Kennedy. Many thanks to our loyal supporters, both inside and outside the Choir.

WOODWORKING As in past years, we had a full complement of boys from both Middle and Senior schools as well as a group from the Grades 7 and 8 Activ- ities Program. With the purchase of a second lathe, there has been not only an increase in the quantity of turn- ing produced, but also in the quality. We can now turn bowls on the face plate, and in spite of the difficulty of obtaining suitable wood blocks, some commendable progress was made by some boys. In the Middle school group especially, boys learned the basic uses of tools, limiting their projects to relatively simple constructions ---- book shelves, boxes, and toys of various designs. All projects made during the year were shown on Parents' Night. BACKGAMMON CLUB For the past two years, the game of backgam- mon has flourished in the Middle and Senior Schools. There has been much enthusiasm among the boys and this has been shown by the con- stant tournament atmosphere as the year progres- sed. Periods consisting of thirty-five minutes al- low the boys to enjoy two or three games of backgammon. While these games are in session, they are able to devise new and useful strategies. Hopefully, in the future, the backgammon club will improve and reach its zenith in Selwyn House I-Ie's got a treasure map! Toot! Toot! 'Q ll 42 'i 4 Xxx Understand? ., f Q,g lege eff' ,ff W' .

Unfortunately, our plans to partici- pate in the Greater Montreal High School Chess League were curtailed, as a result of the numerous teachers' strikes Qthe teachers simply refused to work after regular hours with extracurricular activities, such as chessl. We did man- age, however, to compete in a series of three highly-com- petitive matches with Westmount High, losing two matches to one. The boys who participated - D. Kappes, J. Nadler, C. Mather, -I. Quintana, M. Briski and D. Dydzak - are to be congratulated for their fine efforts. Inter-school chess competition compensated somewhat for the lack of play against outside schools. As in past years, there was competition on the chess ladder , which determined the rank of chess enthusiasts at S.H.S. Dydzak captured the top position. maintaining it through- out most of the school year. Tournaments were also held during activity periods. In the first segment, Dydzak won overall, with M. Vanier and D. Kappes placing second. A round-robin, knock-out tournament was held during the second segment, with Kappes narrowly winning over Dydzak in the exciting and interesting final match. , Q . . 5'., i. '-..:.?f. ',.ffK -Svc.

I -rd VTR WORKSHOP This year, a new activity, the video tape recording QVTRQ workshop, was established under the instruction of Mr. Roswell-Iames, an Old Boy of the school. The aim ofhis program was to teach the boys both the use of the VTR equipment to evoke a visible mood, and the ethics involved in using the VTR method. For example, through the use of VTR, one can make a molehill look like a mountain. In VTR, the nine boys - Donald Wilson, Alfred Lemaitre, Arnold Lazare, Alan Walford, Anthony Murphy, Andrew Lewis, Ronnie Schouela, Stephen Beresford, and James Common - whojoined, learned to use VTR as an advanced means of communication, with the aim of graduating to the privilege of being able to use VTR capably without supervision. Four of the nine boys who enrolled in this program graduated QLazare, Walford, Lewis, and Murphyj, and have used the VTR equipment to film basketball games and the performances at activities night. as well as recording parts of Contact '76. It is hoped that this worth- while program will be continued next year. DEBATING The debating society enjoyed another active year both within and outside of the school. The highlight of the regular class periods on Fridays were the informal but highly effective series of noon-hour contests with our friendly rivals at E.C.S. The standard of debating exhibited was good, and the jammed houses helped to spread interest in this activity throughout the Senior School. A similar contest was held with two visiting teams from U.C.C. who happened to be in town during the Fall. Our debaters also distinguished themselves at tournaments at Appleby College, U.C.C., B.C.S., Quebec Debating Championships, McGill, and Kemptville. The contests tended to emphasize the value of impromptu debatem and offered new experiences in co-ordinate debating, all ofwhich enabled our boys and the spectators accom- panying them to become better speakers and thinkers, which is the underlying purpose of all activity. The enthusiasm shown in the school for debating was evidenced by the sixteen boys entered at the McGill tournament. Nick Gault placed as one of the best orators in the Quebec Debating Champion- ships. The teams of Chris Carter. Ken Clarke, Colin McGregor and Robert Spiegel, brought home SHS's first championship with an overwhelming win at the Kemptville Invitational impromptu debat- ing championships in May. jamie Turner, Ken Munro, Simon Langshur and Bruce McArthur became the first recipients of the E.C. Moodey Debating Prizes in juneg these awards are for boys leaving the school who have distin- guished themselves in debating. With the strong contingent of Nick Gault, Peter Oliver, Stephen Scott, Mark Bandeen and Michael Holy in Grade 10, as well as the Grade 9 Kemptville champs, and the excellent development of many other boys throughout the School, next year should be a banner one for SHS debating. Q.-,pg---.---,.. qu- X l -I ,,-1 IK-T! if HEADACHE '76: THE YEARBOOK COMMITTEE Putting together a book to commemorate a full year in the collective life ofsuch a busy place as Selwyn House has to be a little bit like building an Olympic Stadium: there are so many cranes on the site, so many ant-like workers, so many partly-built sub-sections lying around in various stages of readiness, that as one begins the final period of assembling all this he is certain that it will never fit together properly, that there has been some major component over- looked, that things will never be completed on time, and that, in general, it isn't going to work. And, yet, things suddenly begin to flow in some sort of pattern, pieces begin to Stay in place, the general structure ofthe whole thing begins to emerge, and it all starts, somehow, to make some sort of sense. Once again, a small miracle has taken place. The 1975-76 school year began with eight boys, from grades nine, ten and eleven, under the editorship of Richard Small, meeting every Friday in the 8A classroom, to begin the rather complex business of putting the Yearbook to- gether. This crew had been assembled partly through the initiative of the staff advisor, and partly through natural in- terest, as word spread around among the boys who were in- terested in taking part. And so the year began. Eight be- came nine, eleven, and more, as various students associated themselves more or less loosely with the project. By the Spring of 1976, a good deal of material was ready, in various stages of development. At that point, as it has every other year, the assembling of all this material began, with a page added here, a few words deleted there, headings were conceived and laid out, captions were dreamed up, and re- jected or improved. --IIIIU I n 3 5 i E . ., I :Meigs l.

The result of all this brainstorming is the present volume We hope it will suffice to convey the flavour of a remarka- bly successful school year, one in which a truly amazing number of things was accomplished.

LITERARY HOBBYIST With a cautious patience that only bred frustration. he painted shading under the cheekbones with his 'OOO' brush. He had to constantly remind himself that this was his hob- by: an Q theoretically, by definition, he was supposed to be enjoying himself. He wondered about hobbies, how SONIC people COII1l11ifICd themselves to IllC ITILITIL-lgiflg of l'lOP6- lessly small Canadian Presses or others like him who put together and painted small goblins which are called: Fifty- four millimeter model soldiers. He was sure that the little, plastic for leadj figures weren't static. Every time, he tried to lay his miniature brush on the little human. it would somehow writhe and wriggle so that the blue brush would land on the nose of the soldier. Maybe the figure wasn't alive, but his nervous hands cer- tainly were. The infuriatingly infinitesimal buttons, belts. eyebrows and eyelashes presented a problem which only could result in a mess and a series of blotches. When, even- tually, the cement was 'glopped' upon the model lofcourse dripping and then drying, resulting in series of dribblesj and eventually mounted on a stand, it stood there straight and tall. and then... it crumbled. Nicholas Howson Form 9A RAGING POLITICIAN He comes to prove his points. He comes to show himself He tries very hard to keep from blowing his top. He knows this isn't his day. but with a serene. calm, and collected face he walks on to the stage up against the favoured candi- date. His speech is not long, but he hopes it is effective. Ashe prepares himself for the battle, a large microphone swings in front of him like a sleek snake suddenly appear- ing out of nowhere. lt stares up at him like a white in Harlem. His speech starts quietly. building slowly up to his climactic statement, at which point he rages and forms his words almost violently, using his whole body to help in massive expression. He finishes with a smalljoke, and walks off stage feeling a strong man. His audience felt something they have never experienced before, and will probably never again in their lives. The underdog stands now on two feet. Sean Lafleur Form 7B i G :age I' -r A re- - if? SCHOOL DAZE The artificial seagulls streaked across the pink sky: their metallic screeches pierced the placid silence ofthe bay. Their wings fluttered rythmically, grotesquely. On the blood-red sand. the black bull bled oil through a cut pipe in its throat. An iron horse carried its knight up the slopes ofthe yellow hills, up to the green-starred heavens. The sun, a huge orange, covered half the skyg purple and pink light radiating from its edges into a welter of coloured gases. On the blue sea, my little sailboat passed the mainland its small sails catching the breeze. The bow pointed into the open sea. Above my boat, the sky is blue and the sun shines true. A graceful white albatross, its yellow beak shining, flies above the mast, pointing out the way:joyful dolphins follow in the dancing wake. A good breeze carries me forth under the press of canvas and soon the mainland will be out of sight and I. alone with the wind, the sea and the albatross to sail into the uncharted seas. G. Galeotti Form 8A THE COURSE OF WISDOM You know. said the old man to the children assembled before him. I have seen much of life. and let me say unto you that it is very beautiful. You have not even begun to savour all its unique beauties. You have not begun to realize how bizzare. and yet. how wonderful. it really is. You have not even begun to understand that the mis- fortunes in your life are. in actuality, your fortunes. Let it be said, then. that life is a bitter sweet mixture of one's fortunes and misfortunes. And from this. let it be said that failures and successes abound in life: and that we learn from them the true mean- ing of our existence. Think--think my children about these divine thoughts. which the Almighty has sent from my lips to you. He paused and remained hypnotized in silence, with head bent groundwards and eyes closed. Most of the children sat silently in the small chapel. not knowing what to make of the man's words, while others whispered in nervous confusion with their friends. What's that strange perfumey smell? asked a small boy softly. Don't know, but whatever it is . it sure stinks. said another. It's special incense from India, answered an older girl. trying to show off her intelligence to the other Sunday School children. Now, shh--E I don't care what it is. It's making me sick. I got to go to the washroomf' When's he going to finish? Him is weird. Look at the way he's dressed in them fancy robes. The old man then lifted up his head and opened his eyes. Was not that period of silent thought beautiful? he asked. He looked around the room at all the children, and they nodded their heads in dumb agreement. The last thought that l should like to give you is that glory is the Messiah. and that the Messiah is glory. Your young souls. my children. will be blessed with eternal glory if you obey and answer the wishes of the Almighty. Remember that. my beloved ones. and the angels will bless you when you enter the Kingdom ofGlory. the Kingdom of love. the Kingdom of the almighty. The children applauded politely. The old man bowed and then waved his left arm through the air in a sweeping gesture. Miss Peterson. the nun in charge of the Sunday School, walked up to the front of the room, where the old man was standing. and said. lt has been an honour to have the prophet. Asid Yamodi. with us today, and we greatly appreciate his spending half an hour of his valuable time with us. His lecture was very enlightening. l am sure that other children will gain great insight into life. as he travels across the nation to speak to them. Thank you again, Mr. Yamodif' The old man smiled and thanked the children for their attentiveness. Would you now get your coats. and go to the bus to go home. children. said Miss Peterson. The children left the room. One noticed a nun giving the old mana sealed white envelope. In the bus. the children were chattering loudly. most of them relieved that the lec- ture was over. I didn't understand him at all. We missed out on our milk and cookies because of him. I thought it was very enjoyable, said the older girl. lt was ridiculous, said a boy seated next to her. He's just a silly. old man. Everyone. excluding the older girl. was inclined to agree with him. Daniel Dydzak Form 1 IB 84 ENVY NO MAN'S HAPPINESS I earn what I eat, get what I wear. owe no man hate, envy no man's happiness . . . Shakespeare Mr. Caldauber's office left much to be desired by others: but then so did his character. His demeanor towards his employees regressed from week to week. They were all afraid of him, although some were more than others. Mr. Caldauber to them was an austere, unconvivial megalomaniac, who could be belligerent easily when one was not too careful. At one time or another, he reprimanded one of the girls for something unforgivable Lat least, it was for himj. After a few weeks of stay, nobody perceived goodness in him,just what they considered foibles or worse. Once. he fired a girl for spilling some coffee on papers he had to sign, and she was pretty. Nobody really understood that man with hair that looked as if gypsy-moths had attacked it Ibut they did wonder if his wife did! because they didn't have to or rather didn't want to. It was the day when a surprise inspector was coming: the girls knew they could grab vengeance. Mrs. Parker, being the shrewdest and oldest, took the advantage by not informing Mr. Caldauber of this occasion. A few minutes before the arrival of the President and one of his directors, Mrs. Baker and Ms. Cooper ominously stepped into the inscrutable Mr. Caldauber's office. Mrs. Baker quickly demanded, WE want a raise! It's 'bout time we had one! Mr. Caldauber answered back, Am I to understand that you want a raise for the kind ofwork youlve been giving me? I should fire you, now! We want a raise! You're fired! Get out! Fm not budging, you scum! There was a glow in her eyes he never saw before. I-Ie quickly grabbed her arm and twisted it in a most ungentle manner. More insults lashed his ego. At this time, the president was reaching for the knob after hearing outcries. To Mr. Caldauber's surprise, a voice of firmness rang, Caldauber, I didn't know you practiced penology on your employees! At that moment, the image of impregnability was torn rudely. Even his glasses Qhis mask! could not save him as they had before. Caldauber had lost. At the end of the day, Mrs. Baker pushed the entrance door of the main level. She was greeted by a dazzling moon when she wondered if she had to destroy Caldauber and if she would replace him and turn out better. She knew that Caldauber would no longer haunt her nights but rather she would haunt the forty-year old man's nights, who couldn't have a chance of re-attaining the position he once had at his tired age. By now, she was enjoying the moon as she had never before in an autumn day. A cold bitter wind clouded her eyes, and when she recovered, the hallucination was blanketed by thick gray six-o'clock clouds. Enjoyable things are evanescent. Mrs. Baker opened another door. She browsed and caught sight of a novel by a Charles Dauber. Its first words were, Life is a decaying tooth: at first, it seems good, but then it turns painful and costly. She gave a dubious smile. Nathan Fong Form 9A X THE SIDEWALK ARTIST He peered up at the sky. A yellow sun glared over the top of the monolith behind him, sending beams of scalding heat down towards the pavement. He turned away to look at his wall of paintings. Landscapes faced him from every direction. Deliberately, he put a blue splotch on the corner of the painting in front of him. He stood up to hang it on the wall, covertly watching passersby for signs of interest. It was in vain. He noticed one man walking by, sporting an Olympic shirt and laden with camera equipment. A tourist, obviously. He sat down again on the small stool, facing a new canvas. The sun's rays beat down, down .... He remembered the touristxnow, that was interesting! How would one describe Montreal to a visitor .... He thought of St. -Ioseph's Oratory, its massive dome crowning a haven for the pious and providing a resting place for thousands of wandering seagulls. The cathedral faced north, faced the developing country-the city's future suburbs. Far away the concrete ribbons of Mirabel traced geometric beauty in the brown land, while silver-white birds flitted silently overhead. Downtown, giant steel and concrete stalagmites soared upwards. reaching the clouds. A gigantic cluster of smaller blocks clustered around their bases. Between the buildings, cars raced along like startled rabbits, while trafficjams formed brilliant patterns of colour. The sun glinted off the towers and off the tiny diamond-like whirlybirds floating freely in the sky. Beyond the central area. a modern stadium, its trestled arches spiralling skywards, faced the chief landmark of the city: the green-painted face of Mount Royal. It was the city's heart, a symbol of the city's pride and on its brow a metal pinnacle commemorated the city's history. Surrounding the urban core, the tumbling waters of the Saint Lawrence caressed the island shores. A concrete structure protected mighty vessels, their bows biting deeply into the crisp current, as they carried the commerce of the world to ports farther inland. Yes .... that was Montreal. An ancient sea of churches. their steeples rising everywhere, a modern ocean of gleaming towers heralding the futureg a beehive featuring brilliant, flashing automobiles: a nebula of tall ships, clustering within the protection of the harbour, and an enormous greenglow of trees. dominated by the Mountain. Overhead, speeding arrows fled between the clouds, and beneath the city a racing blue silverstreak shot through darkened tubes. And everywhere people, people, everywhere the lifeblood of the city: people .... millions of faces .... yes, that was Montreal. Montreal was the everything and the everybody. He sighed. Another painting was finished.

As it spreads itself evenly, the flakes create a fine semi-gloss effect, prepared to endure many tor- ments. But, unfortunately, our thick-skinned latex begins to crunch and crack under the far-off, but merciless sun. The swell of the red liquid in the thermometer pries at the cover, causing it to fade and peel away. The new coming rain leaves blotches in the snow and the old colour comes back. Even- tually, all the snow disappears, but don't fear, because old Doc Winter will prepare for a repainting. Mark Davidson Form 9A Q A ' v -w Qu WN AGE IN YOUTH It seems a paradox, but my years seem to mean more to me the older I grow. As a child, years hung heavily on me. remember Murray Bay summers which never seemed to end: long days, driftwood, sun, friends, pine trees and salt tang. One day blended into the next and on and on forever - a time knowing no boundaries, a space of innocent existence having no fixed demensions. In retrospect, though, those days of gold seem infinitely precious, and awfully brief. They are precious because they represent an innocence and simplicity which I can never recapture: they seem brief because it is only yesterday that the lean, short boy exchanged his short pants for grey flannels, and learned the world's demands and felt his share of the pain of these times. Those experiences cannot be relived, except in the fantasy world of longing for that which seems so idyllic - but is un- doubtedly more so in retrospect than in fact. I store them in my heart as well as in my mind, against a winter's chill, against the pressures of todayg against the disappointments of every tomorrow. just as those magic memories nurtured me as a boy, so will they sustain my posterity, and provide a fund ofwhich, when my Autumn succeeds my Summer, l shall be ever mindful.

SNOW PEOPLE A snowflake drifted gently to the ground. followed by several others. The sky then grew darker and more snow began to fall: it accumulated everywhere, everywhere except on the street. Each half-hour or so, a plow would whisk away whatever had been amassed. The city liked a clean street: well-lighted and with plenty of salt. Yes. everybody liked a clean street. The snow was dropping quite heavily as two people walked out ofa large building. The steps were huge and took a long time to descend. Before the couple had reached the sidewalk, more people began to appear at the door. They all scuffled quickly down the steps and onto the street: everybody liked to walk on a clean street. Soon. the avenue was empty. The falling snow seemed to muffle the noise of the rush hour traffic. It didn't matter very much, here. anyhow. Automobiles rarely drove by. except, occasionally. a professor's car. Many people carrie and sat on the benches in the park by the street during the summer time: they liked the shade and solitude. Yes. it was a very quiet street. Two more people emerged from the gigantic building. They paused before starting down the steps. 'ADO you want a ciga- rette? she asked. Please, he replied. She removed a package from her coat pocket: they each took one and she replaced the box. She lit them both with a lighter: it was handy in weather like this. Thanks, he said and then took a large draw from it. sucked the smoke into his lungs. and blew it slowly out. He liked smoking a lot. Everybody liked a good smoke, he thought. No, not everybody liked a good smoke, only those who smoke. They walked quietly down the steps and turned onto the sidewalk. The snow drowned their footsteps: everything was silent. A car rushed by on the road, hardly making a sound: the road was very dry. lt gradually dissolved into the distance and all was quiet again. I love the snow. she said. Do you ski? he asked. Surely. only skiers like him welcomed the snow. No. Why do you like it then? She kicked the powder with her boot and watched it scatter. I don't know, she sighed. I see. They continued walking along the road until they reached a large intersection: it wasempty except for a few cars parked on the corners. Would you like to go for a drink? he pointed down the shop filled street. Everybody liked a drinkg it soothed you. Uh, no thanks. Are you sure? She nodded. Let's go home. Alright, The lights changed and they crossed. The street was once again quiet. full with the silences oflife. Want another cigarette? Thanks The bodies drifted down the road and out of sight.

In the late afternoon sun, the interminable avalanche of water frosted its surroundings with snow-crys- tals.

Down the cascade, outlined by white churning water, eddies swirled into whirlwinds of glowing sparks from a September bonfire. Arthur Hsu Form 9A Ts: X at .1 M1 if . , ,. M33 ex , ui., ,Mix Q.

Sir Ralph Allen, the owner of the town, who was one of the few to survive the British depression of the eighteenth century, smiled proudly to himself as he watched the day's proceedings from the balustrade of his estate. He had not been one of the suckers who had invested in the Company of the South Seas. which undertook various ex- peditions which were as successful as operating a gold mine in Peru. Now he could watch the wheel of fortune spin in the town square. Fifteen men and women mounted on wooden horses were spinning underneath a goat bearing a sign with the ominous challenge. Who will ride? Mean- while the peasants below were busy spinning the base of the axis. In a brightly-lit booth on one side of the mall, a winged devil, armed with a scythe, was cutting a piece off the body of Sir Fortune to throw to the crowd of peasants who fought each other viciously to gain possession of the sacred scrap. Beside this attraction, a nobleman was arguing with a peasant and his song he shot the son and threw a coin to the peasant. The Catholic priest, the Protestant minister and the rabbi were gambling and guzzling ale in front of a monu- ment with a cross under which was the inscription. In memory of the destruction of our town in the year of our Lord, I721. At the same time. Sir Egoism was breaking the bones of Sir Honesty I, who was tied, naked. to a wheel, with a heavy stick. In front of the stocks, Sir Vanity was beating Sir Honesty II, who was bound to a cross. with his whip. In the mean- time, in a dark corner, lay Sir Commerce sleeping without life. Sir Ralph Allen really had .1 wonderfully pious town of which to be exceedingly proud. -lavier Quintana Form IOB TH E G ETAWAY One day when I was going through the attic, I found a huge cupboard. I opened it. The first things I saw were some huge fur coats. Then I found myself climbing into the cupboard and pushing toward the back. I kept on pushing and pushing until I found myself in a large forest where I had been in my dreams before. The next thing I knew was that I was putting on a disguise which appeared out of no- where. Walking toward a grand palace, I was being followed by five thousand robots. Then I surrounded the castle and set up a large speaker pointing towards the castle. Speaking through it, I demanded that all the treasure be brought before me. Then I heard a cannon behind me. The enemy had surrounded my troops. Then a sudden breeze came up and blew off my wig. As soon as the robots saw this, they knew I was a traitor and walked toward me with their spears and stabbed me. Then I found myselfin the attic with a fur coat on.just outside the cupboard.

He had overcome his hard years, having no blood relations, and his being traded back and forth between families of dif- ferent religions and traditions. Now, he was sixteen years of age and he lived a happy-go- lucky life: dancing, singing. and dodging the cars in the concrete alley. He had finally found a care free existence with no worries. He slept beneath the stairs at the -Iohnson's. a Negro family of thirteen. One day. as he was dancing and smiling in the street, he was spotted by a young lady who was just strolling by. trying to find her soul. Her dark complexion glowed, and her brown eyes began to glitter. as her teeth became prominent between her expressive lips. He stopped suddenly and went to try and find what had always been lacking. Before long, both of them could be seen, from dawn to dust. the black and the white, dancing on the streets, with the twinkling of love touching each other's eyes. Months passed, until winter. One morning. as the snow began to fall. after he had spent an awfully cold night, he rose to find he was in complete solitude. He searched for days, with tears of love in his eyesg she was nowhere to be found. He returned to the cold alley. He attempted to sing: his voice had broken. He tried to dance, but the soles of his shoes were worn out. The first car that passed, he tried to dodge. as he had done many times before. But his footing slipped, and he fell under the wheels of the automobile. He lay in the snowg from his eye emerged a single tear, not a tear of pain or of love. but the sacred tear of life. Andrew Neal Form 1 1B LOST IN THE YUKON Up to the Yukon went Christopher and his father. They travelled by a private airplane which was skillfully driven by Mr. Samuels, Christopher's father. They had been flying for many hours when Mr. Samuels suggested that they camp out in the forest. Of course, Christopher could not refuse. His father found a crude landing strip on the edge ofa wind-swept forest. They each got out of the plane which was two hundred miles from civilization. The icy winter blew fiercely on Christopher's face and he started to feel very insecure. Mr. Samuels could tell that Christopher was not enjoying this, so he suggested that they not camp out. Christopher ran to get into the plane as his father made a futile attempt to start the plane. The battery was dead. Mr. Samuels tried the radio. It too, was not working. They got out of the plane to get the supplies which were in a compartment near the tail of the airplane. The cold wind seemed to blow harder now and the sky grew dark. Mr. Samuels knew a bad bliz- zard was coming. He walked back to the cockpit and found his son was very sick. Gently, Mr. Samuels put the limp sick figure in the back seat, closed the two doors, and attempted to repair the radio. After many hours of work, he got the radio functional again. With the Blizzard raging outside and a sick son inside Mr. Samuels radioed the closest airport. The man at the tower said they would rescue them, but only after the blizzard. Christopher was now very sick and Mr. Samuels gave him his rations in the hope that they would help him recover. An hour later, Mr. Samuels went to sleep. praying his son would be all right and that the blizzard would let up. In the morn- ing, Mr. Samuels was awakened by a loud noise. He looked out the cockpit window and discovered that the blizzard had stop- ped and the rescue plane had already landed and three men were coming toward his plane. The three men took Christopher to the rescue plane. Mr. Samuels followed them. In the plane, he found his son with a blanket covering his whole body, including his head. Mr. Samuels looked up to one of the rescuers. The man nodded. Tears of sorrow filled Mr. Samuels' eyes, and as the plane took off, Mr. Samuels kissed his son for the last time, on the forehead. john Shannon Form 6A sauce if .

The surf splashed against the rocks while the palm trees cast long-stemmed shadows on the sand. Up in the sky, a few small puffs began to appear. They drifted gently across the vast blue dome. Slowly, they began to grow bigger, come together and form a great mass like cotton candy. Soon, the whole sky became covered with cloud. The sky, at first, appeared white and billowy, with lacy edges, but grey forms gradually became visible. Then, a slight wind, increasing in strength with every passing minute, began to shake the trees. The clouds started piling together in an angry way, changing colour from white to dark grey, thickening all the time. Now, only a few thin pencils of sunlight pierced the clouds on the distant horizon, tinting the distant clouds with a coppery glow. The daily tropical storm was approaching. The sea emptied of swimmers, as people scurried from the beach. seeking the shelter of their cars or the nearby ice-cream parlour. Lightning split the sky, and thunder clashed harshly across the beach. Rain fell, driving heavily onto the sea, sand and asphalt. It was all over in a short while. The clouds separated and dissolved. Once again, the sky turned blue and steam rose from the roadway. Stephen Kohner Form 7B THE GREATEST ENEMY A man's reach should exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for? The metal handle of the winch felt like wire bristles against Eric's numbing hand. Wind slashed spray against any object on board and kept more snow in the air than let fall in the ocean. Eric looked towards Antarctica's icy coast, but it was blur- red in the whiteness of the air. A bloody wretched state to be in while sailing around Antarctica, he thought. He remembered his departure from Cape Town, South Africa, and saying goodbye to his friends. They respected him for his courage, not that he wanted respect or admiration or praise by any means, but the rest of the people considered him mentally imbalanced, even masochistic, to en- deavour such a seemingly nonpurposeful expedition. He realized that he was a threat, a challenge to their secure, comfor- table, static way of life - it strengthened him, but it frustrated him at the same time. Even as a sport, they could not justify what he did, for they saw no opponent or enemy to defeat. Well, let them think I'm crazyf' he thought, and then began to concentrate on the storm and keeping on course. The days passed. The weeks passed, and the time went by with few events for the people on firm ground. They risked little, for they did not want to lose their security. Neither did they venture from their safety, for it was not worth the chance of being lost. During this time, Eric had circled most of the ice desert and, after having rounded the Antarctic Peninsula, found himself in the Waddell Sea off the Filchner Ice Shelf. There, during a raging blizzard, he perished after his ship was crushed between two large iceflows. After forty fulfilling years, Eric died without regret. He had an enemy all along, whether people knew it or not. Eric knew that enemy well: it was himself. The people safe on land continued living with no interruptions or excitement. They became old, and died, and in so doing admitted defeat to an enemy that in their snuggest security they could not elude. In the end, they, too, were their own ene- mies. Still, there were others like Eric with the courage to explore new regions and take big steps to build the world for the dull people, and they did so only be reaching for goals beyond their grasp which they were not sure to attain.

Wenn die Ernte schlecht ausfiel und man am Hungertuche nagtc. war das Wetter meist dran Schuld. Wenn Haus und Hof in den Fluten untergingen, hatte wieder das Wetter mitgewirkt. So ist es denn auch gar nicht weiter verwunderlicli, dass es, ebensolange wie Menschen auf der Erde existieren, schon solche gegeben hat, die sich einen Spass oder ein Geschiift daraus gemacht haben, Witterungsverhiilt- nisse vorherzusagen oder gar noch zu beeinflussen. In Kanada ist diese Tradition dank des aeusserst abwechslungsreichen Klimas besonders ausgepreaegt. Vor tausenden von jahren liaben die Ureinwohner bereits gewisse primitive Riten, Taenze und dergleichen beherrscht, welche, wenn bei Vollmond und bei Verwendung von bestimmten Zauberspruechen ausgefuehrt, un- weigerlich entweder Regen, Sonnenschein, Schnee oder ein Gemisch derselbigen zur Folge hatten. Mit der Ankunft europaeis- Cher Siedler ist dieses Brauchtum allcrdings zunaechst einmal erloschen. An dessen Platz traten so manche ualtehrwuerdigenu Einrichtungen aus dem Heimatlamle wie zum Beispiel der sogenannte liundcrtxiaehrige Wetterlialender. Auf dem neuen Erdteil, wo das Klima-wie gesagt-wesentlich abwechslungsreiclier war, erwies sich das letztere System allerdings als unbrauch- bar: ein tausendjaehriger Kalendar ware eher angebracht gewesen. aber dazu felilter leider die noetigen Unterlagen. So musste man also im Laufe der Zeit gezwungenermassen die alten Einbeziehung einiger neuerdachter Finessen. Die eigentliche Besch- woerung zum Beispiel fand von nun an und findet noch heute nicht nur bei Vollmond statt, sondern, zur groesseren Wirk- samlceit, alltaeglicli zu verschiedenen Zeiten-je nach Fernsehsender. Trotz des grossen Aufwandes ist das Wettervorhersagen geblieben, so ungenau in der Tat, dass man besser daran tut, sich stets nach dem Gegenteil dessen zu richten, was einem in Ausschau gestellt wird oder sich andernfalls einen Wetterfrosch anzuchaffcn.

QA STU DENTS' COM BIN ED APPEAL In late October, the Headmaster approached Grade 11 to point out the possible advantage of undertaking one massed appeal for funds for various charities in the Montreal area, rather than several half-hearted attempts as in previous years. A committee was formed in November, and, after several meetings, a preliminary schedule for the course of events during the appeal was set up. Following many hours of hard work and organization by the nucleus ofthe committee, the drive was ready to begin. On Monday morning, December 1, the first raffle tickets were sold, and it was interesting to watch the rise in school spirit over the week, as the money accumulated on the main school thermometer. These monies were raised through a variety of individual schemes, including the selling of butterfly wings, the production of homefmade bread, and the washing of cars. Group activities at the school involved two very popular casino sessions, where a variety ofexciting games were play- ed, and a Junior School white elephant sale, which alone raised over one hundred dollars. The climax of the week's events occurred, however during the pie throwing contest in one ofthe casinos, when a Grade 8 boy, Philip Wheeler, displayed professional style and talent in smother- ing the Headmaster's face with a delicious cream pie. A few other help- less teacher victims were similarly greeted with thick, creamy, chocolate pies. at N i i iiii i J i if in 'Light r gt L l will 'ff fnlbr gf LY, r ,aa R Hi- , ll Eval O-H At the closing ceremonies, after the television set, radio and C.j.A.D. helicopter ride winners had been drawn Qother prizes included a V.I.P. tour of Mirabel Airport. baseball tickets, theatre passes. hockey sticks.

Attended by Grade 10 and 11 students, as well as by parents, the aim of the night was to make known to those attending, the alternatives open to gradua- ting students from Selwyn House. Each delegate from their respective Universities or Associations gave short speeches in which they outlined the advantages of their particular establishment. A question period followed, and afterwards the gathering broke up into individual discussions. The night must be considered a success, and many thanks go to Mr. Iversen for working so hard in organizing the event. .v a t . 5 as Y' VV Q. .V qt,- f'-'1--fm ' .1 pi, I v Q-on-----......,, 35-Ti .. UPPER CANADA VILLAGE TRIP On October 2, Grades 6A and 6B went on a trip to Upper Canada Village. The School rented two Murray Hill buses to take the boys on the day-long excursion, which was under the supervision of Messrs. K. Martin and O'Flynn. There were also five mothers who volunteered to help. Some of the favourite exhibits in the Village, such as the doctor's house, the schoolhouse, and parts of the farm- yard, were visited twice. Working displays included the saw- mill, a blanket-making machine and farming equipment. It was possible to see a blacksmith making a nail, cloth being woven, and fields being ploughed. Some of the methods of transportation of the 1850's, such as the stagecoaches and bateaux, were also on display as well as in use through- out the Village. At the end of the day, xnost of the boys las well as their supervisorsj bought food and other items at the cheese fac- tory, bakery, village store and gift shop. In all, it was a most enjoyable excursion. The purpose of the trip was to better familiarize the students with early Canadian life. The information gained and stories learned were used later in the year as bases for school history projects. 107 'W 'XI-1 is V!-4 Qui . , 1-.4 .

The event proved to be an admirable success, as many parents came to look at the achieve- ments of their sons. The Woodwork Club, in the Physics laboratory, displayed such masterpieces as rock- ing chairs Qlife sizel. bookcases, abstract creations, and the usual - but fascinating - array of Candlestick-holders. ln the Chemistry laboratory, the Science Club, under the leadership of Mr. Kershaw, provided some very interesting experiments. Doug Peets Q9Bj and Alan Walford Q9Bj set up a laser beam experiment on the refraction of light. David Kredl Q8Cj did an experiment on crystallization: and George Hedrei QIOAJ assembled an electron particle accelerator, to mention a few. The Chemistry lab was soon jammed with people, and became one ofthe more popular sites. The Biology Club, headed by Mr. Krindle, presented dissection of animals Qfrogs, grass- hoppers, foetal pigs, and sheep's eyesj, as well as biological experiments with plants. In the Dining hall, there was a comprehensive display of art by boys of Grades 1-7. Wildly-coloured paintings, drawings, graphics, plasticine models, and many other creations darted at parents from all directions. On the second floor. boys from Grades 9-11 gave readings of their own poetry. James Nadler l9j, Constantine Zarifi l10Bj,javier Quintana QIOBQ, Mark Bandeen QIOBQ, Nicholas Gault IIOBJ, and Daniel Dydzak QIIBJ gave highly-spirited and emotional read- ings. much to the enjoyment ofthe many parents who attended this spectacle.

Topics varied from life in New France to Upper and Lower Canada, to the Russian and Industrial Revolutions. There was also an audio-visual presentation shown on the Russian Revolution Also on the third floor, the Yearbook presented a display of Yearbook propaganda, materials, and working tools. Parents and old boys were fascinated by a large collection of old Yearbooks, dating back to issue number one from 1928. The Chess and Backgammon Club provided a lively display of talent, with parents testing themselves against eager student competitors. At the same time, the Melodica Club, under the leadership of Mr. L.I. Seville, presented a medley of its most recent musi- cal accomplishments in Room 11B. In a nearboy classroom, there was an interesting dis- play of paraphenelia from the trip to the Soviet Union, which Mr. Porter, Mr. Seville and several boys had made at Easter time. Included in the exhibit were Russian flags, tickets, money, and even contemporary clothes. The Athletics Department, in Room 9C, displayed athletic equipment, medical supplies and sports photos. Along with this were explanations of how to use equipment, and how to train oneself properly for sporting activities. Also, in the north corridor, the Videotape Recording Workshop, under the guidance of Roswell James, erected a camera that panned the hall, much to the amusement of parents and boys on the screen. At 8:30, presentations in the gymnasium were made by the Choirs, and the gymnas- tics group. The finals of the Middle and Senior School Public Speaking Contests were also held. Mr. Moodey, heading a select panel ofjudges, announced Tony Burpee UBJ and Peter Oliver QIOAQ as winners. All in all, this year's Activities Night proved to be an enormous success, which was enjoyed whole-heartedly by all those who attended, and promised a bright future for the school's extracurricular program. v , lt lf! 4 4 . , a W Qs 4K X 'r , .. .wg I as, s 1,21 x' .

The presentation, entitled Ye Gods: A Confrontation. and performed by the gifted Middle School Drama Club, was a humourous and satiric commentary on the upcoming Olympic Games. On the left part of the stage, the audience was presented with various gods and classical Greek figures QZeus, Lucian, Pericles, Dionysius, etc.j, who gave a traditional perspective into the meaning of the Games. In contrast, on the opposite side of the stage, it heard the comments of the Godling Qstrikingly similar to Mr Drapeauj, his body guards and Montreal construction workers.

Throughout the presentation, the two contrasting groups carried on witty repartee against each other. The production ended on a humou- rous note, with Messrs.

Needless to say, many boys and adults were involved in making the evening a success. Special mention should be made ofMr. Harker Qwho, as well as being choir master, composed and played the theme music of the drama piecej, and of the S.H.S. choir that sang a variety of difficult songs.

FROM RUSSIA WITH MEMORIES March 19 marked the beginning of our memorable trip to the Soviet Union, While flying to the U.S.S.R., we met over one hundred students from various Ontario schools. ln the high-pitched excitement and expectation, we hardly got a moment's sleep, and 120 dead shapes stumbled out ofthe plane onto the tarmac of Moscow Airport. After considerable delay and hassle with Russian officials, QMr. Seville had his book, THE RUSSIANS, by Hedrick Smitlif we met Natasha, our lntourist guide. We then made our way to the luxurious Ostankino Hotel where we were to spend the next three days in bliss. The following day we got our first glimpse of Moscow. The architecture and stores were not as modern or as well-todo as Montreal's down- town a.rea, however there were no slums evident. One very striking feature was the lack of stores or consumer outlets, which. it would seem, we take for granted. Those which did exist were like a rushahour sidewalk inside. We visited the Kremlin, a sixty-acre fortress housing various governmental headquarters. Perhaps the most spectacular site we visited that Clay WHS IIN? AYTTIOTY mL1SCUmS, in which, treasures were kept, including marvellous coaches, crowns andjewels. Also quite memorable was the statue of Lenin, sculpted in about the same style as Rodin's Thinker . In the following days, we saw spectacular Red Square, where St. Basil's Cathedral with its onion domes seemed like a scene taken out ofa fairy tale. Indeed, this was the most cherished site of our trip. We also saw the Exhibition of Economic Achievements, where they hadjust transplanted the Russian Pavilion from Expo '67. Throughout our stay in Russia, we were constantly accosted by young Russians eager for choo-ing gum ithey would only accept FiazooA kah and never, it seemed, Douuble Boobleuj and, in return, we received a number ofdifferent pins. and even army belts. On the fifth day, we departed for Leningrad. There, we saw the Peter and Paul Fortress making sure not to miss the Selwyn House - renowned Troubetzkoy Tower. Other visits included the famous Hermitage Museum in the Winter Palace where we saw many famous and beautiful works of art from all over Europe: and St. Isaac's cathedral, with its spectacular interior, made ofeighteen different kinds of marble. All agreed that Leningrad was a truly beautiful city with low buildings, spacious boulevards, and canals. Night life was exciting in both Moscow and Leningrad. In Moscow, we saw a performance of the world-famous Bolshoi Ballet, and then in Leningrad we saw a performance ofthe Berioska Cultural group, and finally a Russian opera called the Mermaid , which despite the fact that we understood neither the action nor the dialogue, was interesting. The nights at the hotels were bubbly and rewarding since it gave us an opportunity to benefit from the slightly different inclinations of the students from Ontario. The champanski and the vodka were two Russian characteristics oflife that few of us failed to partake in, especially on the tenth floor of our Hotel Leningrad. Perhaps one of the most memorable observations during the trip was the incredible honesty and warmth which the Russian people showed to us. In the subway when we were lost - certainly no difficult feat - we could hardly keep back the Moscovites willing to guide us on our way by a rather imperfect sign language. March 28 was the end of our visit, and the plane resembled a huge tomb on the way home. Many superb memories filled our heads and all we could say was spasiba for everything we had and, regretfully, dasvidanya. BELOW: Inside the Kremlin.

Begun last year under the sponsorship of Lucas House and the direc- tion of A. MacAuley and R. Small, the Canadiana Quiz pro- vided an enjoyable extracurricular activity for the boys in Grades Two to Four. The aim of the Quiz was to foster interest in and en- courage awareness of Canada and its history and geography. To this end, a number of questions dealing with such mat- ters as the Northern Territories, famous Canadians, and natural resources, was posted about once a month on class- room notice boards. Boys were encouraged to find the ans- wers to the questions through reading and research. The correct entries were then placed in the Canadiana Quiz top hat and a drawing was conducted by Mr. Troubetzkoy in assembly to determine the actual winner. The prizes awarded were books on Canada, for which funds were donated by the Students' Project Society. This year, the respective winners of the five rounds were Andrew Zitzmann QISBJ, jacey Kaps Q3Bj,jake Richler QZJ, Derek Eaton Q4Bj and Tarek Razek Q3Aj. INDUSTRIAL TOURS On Tuesday, April 13, students in grades ten and eleven were taken on Industrial Tours. These tours are intended to acquaint the students with the world of industry and manufacturing as opposed to the professions. This year three companies - Windsor Hosieries, Pratt and Whitney Air- craft of Canada, and D.B.M. Industries - sponsored guided tours of their respective plants for the Selwyn House boys. One group went to Windsor Hosieries where Mr. Hersch showed them the entire complicated process of knitting, colouring, drying, packaging and marketing of hosiery products. A second group travelled to Pratt and Whitney Aircraft. The students saw machine shops and the assembly line in operation. as well as an engine being tested and -just to learn more about the worker's life - they spent some time in the cafeteria. The last group went to Designers and Builders of Machines QD.B.M.j. Here, Mr. Pike, the factory foreman, guided them on an informative tour of the D.B.M. complex. The students saw the drafting room and a wide range of industrial machines used for manufacturing D.B.M.'s products. ln later discussions, the boys agreed that they had learned a great deal about factory work and environment and about the particular production processes ofthe companies in- volved. Ei Q t 5' rv fgf g .2 ' Congratulations! During the last round of the Quiz, a Mystery Prize was also offered to the class which submitted the greatest num- ber of entries. As a result, hundreds of entries flooded the Quiz Box, with Grade 3A emerging as the eventual victor. JUNIOR FIREFIGHTERS Once again this year the Westmount Fire Department offered a course on tire prevention to students of .D schools in the Westmount area. Five boys in grades six and seven were accepted into the course from Selwyn House. Held at the Stanton Street Fire Station on Monday evenings, the course consisted of ten lessons, each com- prising a lecture, a question period, a break period. and a movie on safety. The areas of discussion included the classification of fires, alarm systems, the operation of fire extinguishers and fire prevention in the home. The tenth lesson was a review session and was followed by the final exami' nation in the next week. All five stu- - STU' dents from Selwyn House achieved i I fi ' t ,-, scores of over 8073, and one of them, Q.. 'Z ' lan Small. received 100'Zpand special I i MMM Commendation.

THE GRAD A swinging dinner-dance at the Mount Royal Club was topped offby an all- night bash that aroused the wrath of sleepy neighbours -- a great way to celebrate S.H.S.'s greatest grad class ever! ., W V aff! V f'f Wei CONTACT '76 CONTACT '76 - the sequel to Canada Day in 1975 - an exciting prospect. Dis- appointed with last year's unilingual atmosphere, the organizers redoubled their efforts to have equal representation from French Canadian thinkers. At least one third of the panelists were French Canadian and many others were new Canadians helping to balance the scales. Hosted by Selwyn House students from Grades 9, 10 and 11, invitations were extended to students from thirty-five schools in Quebec and Ontario to partici- pate in the day's activities. ln all, fourteen hundred teenagers took part in the various panels and discussions. Gens de Mon Pays was the theme of the Conference, especially appropriate in the year Montreal is welcoming the Olympics. Speaker at the opening Assembly was George Ignatieff, a former ambassador to the United Nations and present Provost and Vice-Chancellor ofTrinity College, Toronto. He saw the Canadian mosaic as an advantage to be cultivated, which could help persuade the world that diversity need not exclude co-operation: that inter- dependence rather than integration is possible. Each student could attend four of the twelve sessions which followed. More popular topics were explored in as many as three different panel discussions. Each panelist was free to speak in either French or English and, although most students were English-speaking, there appeared to be little difficulty in getting the message. What was the message? It ranged from the gentle and idealistic optimism of poet Ralph Gustafson to the warning by Professor Louis Dudek that the man on the street has less and less control of events and that there is little likelihood of change. The people of my country included the Eskimos, the Indians, the immi- grants, the emigrants and, inevitably and most frequently, attention focused on the two major groups, the French and the English. Separate but, desirably, con- genial Michel Brunet, U. of Montreal historian, seemed to insist. jean Pellerin of Montreal's La Presse saw signs of a spiritual awakening which must lead to deepened understanding. A.R.M. Lower suggested that, as in marriage, few co- habitations are without conflict but that, in the long haul, it is our similarities of purpose and our common humanity that we will remember with affection and pride. Noted author and broadcaster Solange Chaput-Rolland advised that past . ,J Q.: ,.. 'SQA l li , ll X, t . ft' s g, -L, 1 X X X X 4 X '13 li f L XA, .-i. xr quarrels be forgotten and attention be focussed on efforts for the future. Former Caughnawaga Chief Andrew Delisle, john Ciaccia, novelist Yves Theriault and Senator Therese Casgrain debated the difficulties of the Indian in choosing be- tween assimilation and acculturation, while professor and geographer Trevor Lloyd emphasized that Exceptional people...must be left alone... in a panel on eff, .. .-.X 1 A - T mer! L 1' N -f 1 J -1-1 , me the future of the Inuit that included Robin Burns, Richard Diubaldo and Mr. Theriault. The plight and first reactions ofimmigrants to Canada were reviewed by Robert Keyserlingk, Seymour Mayne, Gordon Green and Naim Kattan, who noted that the immigrant brings as much as he receives... Many of the authors, notably Gustafson and Dudek, pleaded or demanded that attention be paid to the poets of the day. Of all liars, the poet is least... , claimed Gustafson. The poet , said Dudek, when he sees that our Titanic is sinking , cries out. Both poets, along with Robert Choquette, Irving Layton and Mr. Mayne, participated in an enlightening poetry reading at the end ofthe day. On the subject of urban growth, Peter Clibbon, a geographer at Laval U., was particularly lucid, giving concrete examples of the results of haphazard urban expansion and predicting the results of this irresponsible trend. Equally rational were the remarks ofthe Minister of Urban Affairs and Environment, Victor Goldbloom. Recognizing the failures of the past and some ofthe contributing reasons, Dr. Goldbloom saw the need for better planning ofland use, soon to be spoken to, he believed, in legislation under consideration in Quebec. At the same time, Leader of the Opposition jacques-Yvan Morin called for the involvement ofall i.n the building of Quebec. Further comments and personal opinions were registered by Paul Gallagher, novelist Hugh Maclennan and com- mentator Leslie Roberts, as well as by historians Cameron Nish and Marcel Trudel. Speaker at the luncheon for panelists and teachers was Claude Ryan, Editor of Le Devoir . He reflected a view both realistic and optimistic about the continu- ing development of the solitudes . I-Ie suggested that if Canadians meet the challenge of diversity rather than striving for homogeneity, they will be rewarded. One felt that, no doubt in deference to their hosts and to the youth of most participants, speakers often stifled their stronger convictions and leaned to rather bland generalities. Nevertheless, no one can have taken part in Contact '76 with- out gaining a clearer realization of what it means to be a Canadian today. The organizers should be gratified that their imagination and hard work re- sulted in a day so stimulating and so harmonious. Also to be mentioned are the logistics, noteworthy because inconspicuous. Parking problems were non-existent Adequate cloakrooms and washrooms were available. 1400 people flowed with ease from one session to another in a school designed for 400 students. Courtesy prevailed. Microphones and speakers were used with skill although certain 'gdead areas could not be avoided. The conference concluded with a series of mini-dances by Indians from Caughnawaga. Although this brought people together for a final assembly, one could not help observing a rather cynical Uncle Tom-ism on the part of the performers, only emphasizing that we still have far to go before mutual respect is thoroughly understood and perfectly achieved. Selwyn House is to be congratulated upon the success of Contact '76, the pulp and paper industry is to be commended for providing financial backing to the project.

I CU LTU RAL ACTIVITIES Cultural activities have played an increasingly important role in school life in the past few years, and 1975-76 saw a further growth in this area, with S.H.S. boys attending con- certs, making trips, and, in general, gaining wider commu- nity experience. In the theatrical field, Grades 3-6 attended several Montreal Symphony Orchestra youth concerts, both in the fall and spring. A string quartet from the M.S.O. also came to play to a mixed audience of girls from the Convent of the Sacred Heart and grade nine and ten boys. At the same time, Grades 9, 10, 11 went to see three plays by the Nouvelle Compagnie Theatrale at the Gesu theatre. All three were well acted, and the last, Macbeth , was particu- larly appealing to those who had already studied the play. While Grade 6 went to see Upper Canada Village, Grade 7 made a three-day trip to Ottawa, where they toured the Sparks street Mall, the Parliament buildings, the National Museum Of Science And Technology, and the War Museum. They stayed at the Old Nicholas Street jail, a fitting hotel, Lectures were also featured on the school calendar this year. Among other speakers, Mr. George Vincent came to give lectures to the Senior School on Canada and the grow- ing giant of Latin America, Brazil. The Cultural Package presented three offerings: The Tibet Folk Opera and Dance Company, the Mazowze Polish Song and Dance Company, and the National Ensemble ofjapan, which were thoroughly enjoyed by the forty-odd boys who took part in the program. Enterprising students arranged for Mon Oncle Antoine' and Lord of the Flies to be shown to groups of students. The latter was particularly successful, as a large crowd from many different schools came to see the film, based on a Grade 11 course-of-study novel. The school calendar included a variety of other events, including a visit by the Riverdale High School band, an adapted performance of jack and the Beanstalk by Youth Theatre for Grade 1-5 boys, and visits by grade eleven boys to French-Canadian shows - a diverse and exciting year! x X ' ' 1 C 1 l Xu-. x 35 in Q ,V f-X - QQ s ' 0 Q SPORTS FCOT BALL S 'N ig! ff' 1' v. t ' Y v D A Q pg' r .

After hammering Ashbury twice and tying Bishop's, the team proceeded to drop three straight, ending the season with a 2-3-1 record. Particularly outstanding individual efforts were the quar- terbacking of K. Nemec, the running of M. Ogilvy, and C. Smith, and the passing and catching of R. Blundell and C. Sauviat. A star defence was led by the blocking and tackling of P. Panet-Raymond, C. Gelber, and R, Iton. MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBALL For the first time at S.H.S., there was a Middle School team that participated in a regular inter- school schedule. The team played two excellent games against Bishop's, winning 16-O and tying 6-6. With the experience and talent fostered by this yearis matches, the team looks forward to a longer schedule with entry into the Bantam ranks. 11 ps -,lv no 1 ,.. x 3 . ,C .f Q' ' , 2' ' J x 2- Qi ' , ff - v--. 15... f J aff.

Captains Chris Carter and Andrew Black led the midfield, enabling our side to play a good ball-control and passing type game. M. Osmond emerged as the strongest of our strikers, and A. Murphy and D. Seward gave the team added aggressiveness. R. Whitehead played effectively on defence, contributing greatly to holding the score in several of the season's tied matches. The Bantams' final record ended up in a 1-4-6 tally, including a O-3-3 G.M.l.A.A. record. 5 .21-we SENIOR SOCCER This year's senior soccer team was entered into the G.M.l,A.A. and, despite a horrendous start, finished strongly to tie for second place in our division. As the season progressed. several players stood out for their superior play. A. Neal and R. Rohlicek kept the games close with fine goaltending, with a lot of help from full- backs R. Hall and B. Smith. J. Turner led the team in scoring. followed closely by Haller, Munro, Wallace and Bloxam. Together with the improved play and hard work of E. Schwartz. M. Palayew. C. Bird, S. Langshur. M. Hooton, l. Ross. and F. Yarur, we played a lot of exciting matches and had a lor of fun together. .J. . JUNIOR SOCCER This year's Junior Soccer team was made up of a group of enthusiastic Grade Ten boys, coached by Wayne Farrel. Most of the players had never played team soccer previous- ly, but after a couple of practices, some ability was beginning to show through. The first game was played against an equally inexper- ienced team from Presentation High School. Led by cap- tains Javier Quintana and Peter Oliver, a 2-1 victory resulted. Riding on its first victory, the team was brought to its senses rather quickly by a strong Sedburgh team in a 3-1 loss. The season was closed with a convincing 5-0 victory over Presentation in a rematch. Hopefully, the experience obtained this year will lead to the formation of a strong Senior team for next year. MIDDLE SCHOOL SOCCER This year's middle school team was made up of about 30 different players from grades 6 and 7. This year's team play- ed 7 games, winning 2, and losing 4, with 1 tie. Led by captains A. Hirsch, A. Ivory, D. Daly, D. Prescesky, J. Trott, j. Berton, and B. Robillard, the team was involved in some extremely close matches. The high- lights of the season were the away trips to Ashbury and Sedbergh, and the season-ending win over L.C.C. S LJ -4 8 9 F .J HOCKEY ? l..-L N 1 fi 4 nl.

Led by last yea.r's returning M.V.P., Donald Bloxam and bolstered by a strong rearguard which included assis- tant captains Bill Smith, Colin Bird and goalie Andrew Neal, the team fought many close matches and often emerged the victors. The two on-ice highlights of the season were the 6-0 victory over Ashbury and the 6-4 home ice win over Bishop's. while the off-ice highlight of the season was when the bus wheels fell off while returning from Stanstead. The team would also like to express its sincere apprecia- tion to Coach Beauchamp QCoach Boachj for his gigantic one-man effort in moulding this year's squad. Who could ever forget the famous systems fthe 2-1-2 or 1-2-2 etc.jg the educational blackboard diagramsg the driving school bus trips: or the long, involved family stories which usually began with So I says, I says... Above all, though, this season was a lot of fun and if hockey is as enjoyable next year as it was this year, then the team is sure to be a success. BANTAM HOCKEY Weakened by the loss of numerous members oflast year's team, the Bantams found themselves with the same problems of inexperience that plagued the Seniors early in the season. R. Blundell and R. Iton continued to improve both as players and as team leaders. C. Gelber gave stability to a once shaky defence. The boys' best effort came in their 3-2 defeat of Ashbury College's junior team. iw 4 r 1 MIDDLE SCHOOL HOCKEY A longer schedule of twenty-five games led to some very polished performances by the Middle School team. A team's true strength lies down the middle, and goalie D. Daly, defenceman L. Henderson, and high scoring winger T. Iton were part of the reason for the team's success this year. Cap- tained by Henderson, Iton, and A, Hirsch, the team reached the finals of a B.C.S. tournament and duplicated the feat at an L.C.C. tourney on March 5 - 6. 133 BASKETBALL '?

Hooton, M. Palayew, T. Large, and B. Mainwaring - all of whom contributed greatly to the success of the team. Tim Cherry-Picker Large led the team in missed layups on his famous fast breakg however, he did manage to lead the team in scoring average. lt seems that Tim was only seen on one side of the court this year - the opposition's. In addition Tim is reknowned as being the second of the Ugly Twins. The Ugly Twin numero uno is the infamous Brent Mainwaring who introduced the Muhammed Ali approach to basketball! Brent's aggressive play did, however, bronze his name in Selwyn House record books - Fouling out in three minutesg Most knockouts fone seasonjg and having the smelliest socks on the team. Mark 'AMouthguard Palayew distinguished himself this year in two ways. One was spending more time on his derriere than on his feet, and the second was making sure that he was always impeccably dressed on the court. As a member of the team, Marc was the ballhandler and playmaker, who, although he started the season off slowly, ended up with 20 points against St. Georges, a very respectable point total. And if assists and blocked shots were tabulated Marc would have led in both cate- gories. Michael Hook Shot Hooton was the centreman, best rebounder, highest scorer, and worst dresser on this year's team. He was also the leader of our most successful fast break, with his high, long passes always floating into the hands of the Ugly Twins . But Michael's most memorable moments came whenever he took a hook shot, when everyone in the gym would wait to see if it even went in the direction ofthe basket. However, Michael's claim to fame came in the dying seconds ofa game against St. Georges. With both ofthe Ugly Twins ill, our team was trailing the Georgians by 15 points: it was then that it happened. Mark Palayew threw an inbounds pass to Michael, who cooly and calmly swished an eighty- five foot hook shot as the buzzer, upping his point total for the game to 28, and to 144 for the season - clinching the scoring title. But the true slander has been saved for our coach Wayne Mississippi National Guard Farrel, brought in from the realms of the unknown, who led the team in technical fouls with one. His previous peak of anger occurred when he stamped his foot on the floor and said Shucks! However, Wayne's coaching brought about the most successful season in Selwyn History. Of the other players Bruce MacArthur showed great improvement on the court and Anatol Von Hahn showed strong rebounding strength. As for the season, the team rocketed to a 6-0 record, including a crushing defeat of the L.C.C. team, but after defeating Stanstead a shock hit the team. On the return trip, the wheels fell off the bus, and we were never quite the same! The result was four straight losses. Thus we ended the season with a most creditable 6-4 record. All in all, this yea.r's team represented the culmination of four years of hard work for the first string Qwho have played together since grade eightj. They all put in a lot of hard work, reaped a successful season, had a great time, and had a most memorable experience together. 136 BANTAM BASKETBALL This year's team faced formidable opposition in G.M.I.A.A. competition and ended up with a low ave- rage in their twenty-game schedule. Despite this, spirit remained high as C. Carter, J. Welsford, and M. Osterland led the team in practices and games. It was encouraging as the team never quit, despite being out- played. As a result, many of the players improved their skills greatly. The team's Most Valuable Player 1 was M. Osterland, and the Most Improved, J. Welsford. ,A Captain D. McDougall and M. Osmond also showed fine talent. 11'-3 1' 25 .9, 2 4 4 MIDDLE SCHOOL BASKETBALL This year's Middle School team played twelve games, winning four and losing eight. The team was led by Captain R.

The first game was a classic as both teams were still tied after an overtime period. They then played at the Autostade before the renowned Barbarians vs. Quebec All-stars game, but lost 16-0. The team was an unqualified success as only three players had returned from the previous year and many had never played before. Captained by D. Bloxam, the team's most valuable player, and led by forwards R. Rohlicek and W. Wallace, the team played many exciting, close games. . 4 BANTAM RUGBY This year's Bantam team entered the G.M.I.A.A. and won the city championship. The team was an exceptionally strong one and they showed very fine rugby play for their age category. P. Kyres was the team's most valuable forward and K. Nemec the team's most valuable back. Much ofthe success of the team came from people who had never played the game before, like C. Carter and R. Iton. Combined with the superlative efforts from people like P. Baillargeon, N. Howson, K.
