Many of them were particularly disturbed by this being their last year at the school. Many of the boys, however, were rather pleased that they would be starting new lives outside the school's regime. The boys really enjoyed the numerous extra-curricular activities in which they had participated during the course of the year. Particularly worthy of note were the three French plays that each of the groups put on for the rest of the school. Also, the involvement in many money-raising activities, 3 t v .- 12 t ting Class S. J... ,ii 1 gk? , if ,j1?:2 2' ifr- s- sg, if 'A 1 P including bottle drives, car washes, canteens, and, of course, the newest innovation in the grad fund raisers, a full-length play for the public. Not all of the ventures were complete successes, however, since the school newspaper, THE MOON, was only produced twice in the year. The elevens also participated in many competitions in maths and essay writing. All in all, the year has been quite a productive one on the part of the grade elevens. Let's hope that next year's makes us as proud! '.'F 'X xx- WS.,-f JOSHUA ALBERT Here we go again! Why am I always first? I don't mind being first in math, but being first for French orals bothers me. Well, since this is the first grad note you will read tif you're normal and start at the beginningj I had better make it good. Since landing at Selwyn House in grade eight, I have been trying to do two things: to stay out of trouble and to destroy the myth that I am English. I have, to an extent, succeeded in both endeavours and, of course, many others as well. I might re-visit the school in five years, and, who knows, I might even become an engineer. I will probably still be listening to Led Zeppelin. Well, I have to ramble on: it's time for me to go. ALI T. ARGUN Well, I've been here for five years and now, it's time to go. I leave this place with mixed feelings, really. There have been some good times, and, more often than not, there have been some bad ones. But, l'll leave those behind me because I know what's waiting for me outside these walls. Still, I can't help but wonder how I would feel at this very moment had I gone to a different school. I stand up for my pride I don't wanna be just like anyone In this world I cannot hide I must finish what I have begun Got a picture in my mind Of the way that I wanna be I'm doin' what I feel is right l'm ready ifl need to fight And l'm on my way. -Foreigner Many thanks to S.K., M.D., M.D.B., C.G., and J.B. who were always there. Here's wishing all my fellow graduates, and all the rest of you staying behind, the best possible success in the future. CHARLES MAPPIN Charles, or Chuckles, has been at Selwyn House for eleven years - it's a long time to be at one place for ten months out of twelve. l must admit that he is one of the few who has survived the full eleven years - without cracking up once. lt's really hard to write anything about Charles since he was a very quiet individual and since this is a rush job because he didn't bother writing his grad note. When I think of Chuckles, nothing comes to mind except a smile - one reaching from one eye to the other. One great achievement of his was in grade eleven when he joined Mr. Reid's club - a kick in the rear. Next year he ventures off to Brebeuf. Charles, good luck and I hope you keep your sanity and your smile! -a friend DUNCAN BAIRD Rather than to sacrifice this ink in the questionable cause of self- celebration, I humbly offer it as follows - To Mike, Ali, Clive, Glen, Steve, David, Lawrence, and Chris of THE IM- PORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST in congratulations and thanks for a great show, And to D.M. and D.W., co-founders of Phase 5 and origional authors of this grad note, whose material was so tyrannically overthrown in favour of this: I woke up this morning Don't believe what I saw A hundred billion bottles Washed up on the shore Seems I'm not alone in being alone -The Police GARTH BARRIERE A Selwyn House student for ten years, but no academic prizes or athletic trophies. This small, white space is my only mark. CONFUSION An unexplainable hurt Being a star in an empty World! -MY ode to Selwyn House Farewell. RALPH BEAVERIDGE I was afraid of Ralph in grade seven. I once told him he was stupid and he picked me up by the chin and pushed my face through a wall. But that was obviously my fault. I was a jerk to be afraid of Ralph because he was, is, a friendly guy. In five years at Selwyn, he never tried to hate anybody. Then again, think of the many defensive linesmen Ralph has blown over playing snap for the best high school offence in Montreal. Think of the heads he's dented with the bodies of the op- position in hockey, playing with a questionable style, but 200070 effort. But Ralph is the extreme epitome of the underrated person. No noise or complaining, just effort. Grad notes are supposed to be about your complete life at Selwyn, I would like to say something about the grade eleven Ralph: in my books, your car is fine. It moves, and 80070 of the time is loaded with girls! -A fellow No. 6. I5 GREGORY CLARKE There are many things one could say after spending eight years at Selwyn House, but most of them would be unsuitable for printing. CHRISTOPHER CREIGHTON Passing Thought: Let's all move one place on. Favorite Quotation: Where shall I begin, please your Majesty? he asked. Begin at the beginning, the king said, gravely, And go on till you come to the end: then stop. DAVID W.H. DALY 'Don't get depressed when you read in the press About world revolution and social unrest Try not to panic when you switch on the news And see crooked politicians and the unemployment queus lt's only life - it's really fine So don't you believe all you read in the headlines Live life see it through Carry on - it's all you can do You gotta live life for yourself Can't live life for anyone else You gotta live life, that's all you do Nobody gonna live their life for you So long Selly! -R.D. Davies 1The Kinksj -Lewis Carroll MICHAEL DUNGAN In future times when Mike has slain his last dragon, and rides his moose down from his happy vicarage, he will look back to this page of Selwyn House '80. He will read this note, and with a tear and a chuckle remember his days at Selwyn House. Five years have passed, and this summer the mad Irishman goes back home. In sports, and leadership, Mike performed with heart and enthusiasm. In the classroom and halls, his monty-pythonic humour and insane wit have sent many rolling in laughter. His tender love for the moose species, his pink jogging pants, and his Casanova- esque manner will be remembered by his classmates. A truly unique individual, Selwyn House will never be blessed with another of his kind. -A friend When I think of grade seven, I think of the cold, barrack-like locker room we used to have downstairs. When I think of this, my graduating year, I think of how close five years have brought me to my friends and even, believe it or not, my teachers. This closeness is the result of many strange things: with some of my friends, I laughed in- sanely at getting six per cent on a physics test, how can I ever forget the awesome spirit and team psyche I enjoyed on various teams, football in particular. This closeness is what made my term at Selwyn so important. This could quite possibly sound very gay, but I love you all. GLENN FONG Happiness only comes to people who are too busy to seek it . Aim: To try and be same. At this point in my life, I can safely say that I am burning with desire to experience all the laughs, the cries, the sudden manifestations, and the overwhelming disillusionments, all waiting in store for me in the future. Why? Don't ask me I seem to think it right. Probable Destination: a chance for survival Know your stuff, know who you are stuffing, then stuff them with style -Golden Rule for Debators ALEXANDER GAULT I could present you with an analogy about a sane person being admitted into an insane asylum, and thus present the life of Alexander Gault at Selwyn House, but a grad note should be pleasant, so I will give a more personal view of Sal and avoid school com- pletely. Alex is deeply attracted to politics and poetic discourse and in these fields, has developed a strong attachment to John Aimers. He always has a strong point of view which sometimes has been misinterpreted by some poor misguided souls, but never- theless he remains a leader. Alex is a very athletic young man and can often be found jogging up the mountain with his good friends David and Lucy, although he doesn't limit himself to this type of action. So baby, sit back, relax, have a beer and a smoke, and When the music's over, turn out the lights. -Jim Morrison JOHN PETER GUY At last! After nine years, it's time to leave Selwyn. Through years of waiting to be liberated I stood up to the challenge. Now that it's over, well, so much for liberation. l'll probably look back at all this in a couple of years and say those were some of the best times l had Lhopefully notj. Anyway, how could one sum up nine years of struggle other than saying GOODBYE ALREADY! This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Winston Churchill JONATHAN HERMAN Education is hanging around until you've caught on. Robert Frost If I caught on in grade two, then how come l hung around for ten years? Was it the food. Was it the obsession with the phrase, a DECADE at Selwyn House. Nay, says the wise man, stamina be the key to your survival. And survive I did. ' l know that in years to come when l pace the halls and assume the role of Selwyn's Chairman of the Board, only my fondest memories will echo from the classrooms, and remind me of the experiences that my schoolmasters and mistresses guided me througl in years past. For now, good luck and adieu. LAWRENCE HSU Any preparatory high School will have accomplished its greatest success if it germinates within its students the interest on which they will base their lifework. From this point, of course, desire for further education follows naturally. Maintaining a varied curriculum so as to allow students to form a broad basis of perspective of life and of discerning in the real work is subordinate to that major goal. Pet Peeves: taking notes in class land retaining themj. showing work on math tests. organization at the expense of practicality. people who do not support the Morks-Spencer campaign. Ambition: Undecided. Probable Destination: Politics Parting Note: I don't know half of you as well as I should likeg and I like less than half of you as well as you deserve. -Bilbo Baggins THE LORD OF THE RINGS ANTONY ITON The other day, I looked down at my dirty old tennis shoes and sadly realized that soon I could no longer use them. I thought of all the good times I'd had in those tennis shoes and of all the neat people I'd met while wearing them. The thought of getting new shoes was exciting but the knowledge that I had outgrown my old faithfuls was sad. Five years at Selwyn, and all the time I never thought much of leaving. Now as it all comes to an end, I look forward with trepidation, at the new life awaiting me, but all of the excitement to come is balanced by the sad realization that Selly has nothing left to offer me. Good-bye, Selwyn House. Life is a straight, plain business, and the way is clear, blazed for you by generations of strong men, into whose labours you enter and whose ideals must be your inspirations. -Sir William Osler BRIAN ITON Brian, Brian, some people still don't know or understand who he is. He can't be a sports jock because he didn't win a team jacket. Oh no, at six feet three, one hundred and eighty pounds, Brian is far from being an athlete. He has played all games every game on both the offensive and defensive lines for every football team since grade seven. He played hockey for three years, vice-captaining on one team. Up until this year, Brian, coming out of Montreal West with a juvenile tennis championship, proved he knew what tennis was about by not losing matches. This year, however, he took rugby and became a scrumknockerover in the second row. But if you want a look at a real sports jock, check out Esko LSCJ the isn't wearing his jacket in this photoj. Brian was one of us in the academic society Qwhich receives report cards that say X is not fulfilling his potentialj, but let's not talk about academics. For five years he had the monopoly on all new expressions coming into the grade. It's amazing how he could turn expressions such as zees , oh boy , and excellent into poetry. What is Brian's future? Seriously now, Brian will ultimately end up somewhere doing something where he can eat oats, bench press metros, have lots of girl friends, and talk to his friends under the mode of the true philosopher he really is. 71 P? STEPHEN KOHNER 'No man is an Iland, intire of itselfeg every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine! -John Donne. You know, I've really enjoyed my five years here: the students, teachers, the food, and all the good times. There are so many people to thank, but alas, not enough space. Best of luck to the graduating class of 1980 and those who are left behind to graduate in the years to come. Philosophical Message: Do not follow where the path leads, rather go where there is no path and leave a trail. 'You ask: 'What is our aim?' I can answer in one word: 'Victoryl' Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be: for without victory there is no survival.' -Sir Winston Churchill By the way, did I ever tell you the joke about ? EUGENE KOVALIK 'O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring! -Walt Whitman DAMON KUTTEN Needless to say, I learned a lot in my eleven years at S.H.S. l learned some things more than othersg but it's hard to get really excited about academics. Even the most ex- cruciating exams just fade away. What I will remember of my school years, though, and what I enjoyed and hated most, was the aura of the school itself. That vicious brat in grade three, that funny math teacher in grade eight, that toilet I broke in grade five and worried about for weeks: all this gives a true impression of school life - in later years, the furtively observed idiosyncracies of my classmates. I hope everyone enjoys himself when I'm gone. I I 4 P 'fs -qw-Q! SEAN LAFLEUR It used to be that we thought of Sean as a hard-working, serious guy. He completed elementary school very commendably, but with great ease. It was then time for high school. Sean knew he needed a challenge, and so he quite rightly chose Selwyn House School for his secondary education. As expected, Selwyn was no more difficult. He needed new challenges and experiences to fulfill his curious young mind. It was around grade nine when we began to recognize Sean's innate desire for the spiritual and physical company of females. And so it happened that Sean developed a gracious charm and reputation amongst many lovely little Westmount girls. Things didn't stop there for Sean. In grade 10, he established himself as a strong debater and public speakerg in grade 11, Sean became a prefect, and later captain of the squash team. We find it unnecessary to further explore Sean's achievements, for they really mean nothing when we look at Sean as a person. He is a friend with a caring and willing heart, which often leads him into decisions and circumstances which really do not appeal to him. And so it used to be that Sean was a hard-working serious guy. He still is, but now he has become a very good friend to some, and a satisfied person within himself. -Alex DAVID MILLER Name: David Miller Age: 17 Height: 6'. 0 Weight: 160 pounds Eyes: Green Alias: Worry-wart, schlitz, Budwiser, Mutt. Previous Arrests: Late assignments with prizewinning original excusesg Over-indulgence in physicsg mathematical neglectg deadline extention negotiations: mass worrying. David is a peculiar example of the species Homo Trepious sed Turbious, and although he is unique in his representation of this group at S.H.S. tthank Godj, the current condition of this institution clearly reflects the five year presence of this disturbance. -D.L.B. 'I can see you in the morning when you go to school Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule, Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work! -Supertramp -D.W. EDWARD NASH 'How long, how long, in infinite Pursuit Of This and That endeavour and dispute? Better be merry with the fruitful Grape. Than sadden after none, or bitter, Fruit. -Edward Fitzgerald Grade eleven has been by far my best and happiest year of my seven at Selwyn House. Maybe it's because I was involved on more sports teams maybe it's because I par- ticipated in more extracurricular activities or perhaps it's my higher academic results then again, though it was great to be at S.H.S., it could be because this is my last year! 21 MAX PLOYING l've been at Selwyn House for five years now and ironically, it's gone very fast. l've enjoyed the school and made a lot of good friends, but it really is time to move on! Having endured people pulling my tie continually and cracking the worst Swedish jokes l've ever heard, I've still managed to keep my cool. If it hadn't been for Protein, Soy Lecithin Granules, Skim Milk Powder, Brewer's Yeast, Carobe, Milk, and a Raw Egg, I never would have survived Selwyn House. I'm sailing away Set an open course for the virgin sea For I've got to be free Free to face the life that's ahead of me I look to the sea Reflections in the waves spark my memory Some happy, some sad I think of childhood friends And the dreams we had -Styx NICHOLAS RIDEOUT Nick Rideout first came to Selwyn House in Grade two and was instantly famous for his shock of red hair as well as his violent instincts. Unfortunately, for us, a few short years later - grade five - he left for England, where, he has reported, the beer stinks. And then in grade eight, to our joy - and amusement - he returned, again winning instant fame when he asked in math class, Has anyone seen my rubber feraserJ? And for the next four years, he continued to impress us - mostly with his killer, animalistic instincts, usually surfacing during games. This year, to cap it all, he was named Captain of the defensive team in Senior Football, where, countless times, he stopped advancing players through sheer viciousness Knot to mention his uglinessj. And now, it is time to say ciao, au revoir, see ya, but hopefully, never goodbye. -A Friend 1, fi. 'AJ ANAND SAHAI How many guys do you know who can stroll into a room full of depressed spirits and cheer them all up in five minutes with a mere smile or pleasant laugh? None? well, then you don't know Anand. His ever-present cheery humour and goodwill will be drastically missed in the tired halls of Selwyn House. Anand is one of those people who represent a standard of class. We'll all remember him for his exploits in his twelve cylinder Jaguar or his Mercedes, his Lacoste shopping sprees at Holt Renfrew and his nine-handicap at the Royal Montreal. He'll definitely be missed, but the next time you're down and troubled, and ya need a helping hand, you'll hear a familiar happy chuckle and you'll turn in expectance, and he'll be there. Are you crying yet? Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeez ... -T,I, JIM SEATON Brevity is the soul of wit . Everyone knows that. People also know that I am not very witty. I suppose that I could say that I've enjoyed every minute of my seven years at Selwyn, but that would be a lie. I could also tell you that I was always well liked by teachers because I did my homework meticulously. Unfortunately, that would be another 'untruth'. On the other hand, I might say that the people I liked the most this past year were the guys in my grade, the grade ones and twos, yes, you Derek and company trying to sneak inside, and especially George, Pat, and Nina in the kitchen. Thanks for making my life a little more bearable. One parting thought: Maybe someday I'll come back and REALLY fry the motors in the Physics lab. One more thought: Old friend, I remember you... You used to take me fishing down by the wishing well, One day you threw a wish in, and we listened while it fell, And you made a wish ...' When the years are heavy, and my heart is growing cold, Well I wish when the evening comes that therelll always be Some old friend who'll miss me too -Chris de Burgh So now I'll leave you. Good luck friends. Adios a todos! CLIVE SPIEGEL During his eleven-year sojourn at Selwyn House, Clive has managed to acquire some fine credits to his name. Over the many years at the school, he has been involved in many school activities, including being skip of the curling team, a member of the chess club, manual training club, MOON staff, archivist on the yearbook staff, and so on This year Clive produced the grad play, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, and also starred as the imcomparable Lady Bracknell. Clive is best-known for his seven-year-old brief case, which he has now donated to the Smithsonian, as well as being the only eleven year veteran of the school to be in the same form room as Damon Kutten for ten consecutive years. We will all certainly remember Clive, not only for his accomplishments at the school, but also for being the only graduate ever to read Shakespeare voluntarily. I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit, touch it and the bloom is gone. -Lady Bracknell from Oscar Wilde's THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNEST GREG THOMPSON Once upon a time, in a small forest, far away, there lived a fox named Fuzzy. Fuzzy Fox did not play with most of the other animals in the forest, preferring to frolic about on his own, singing and dreaming of far away places. Many of the others wondered in awe at the ease with which Fuzzy lept into many mysterious ventures. At times Fuzzy would disappear from their sight. It was said that he would patter stealthily into some covert area of the forest, taking only his silky, little mink friend along with him. But one day, Fuzzy no longer showed interest in exploring the small forest, he had seen every corner long ago and needed a more vast and challenging forest to fathom. and so it happened that one day Fuzzy disappeared. There was no uproar among the animals at his departure, but a few of the wiser owls regretted the absence of Fuzzy as a loss of the character of the forest. -Sean and Alex lf it feels nice, don't think twice. -J .T. JOHN TROTT After seven years at Selwyn House, academics, soccer, football, hockey, rugby, tennis, squash teams, and several extracurricular activities, it all comes down to this last small reminder of a 1980 graduate. John will probably be best remembered for driving around in the 'Boat'. Thank you Selwyn House, it's been quite nice. Here are my parting words: Verily I say unto you- Though thy mind be like a crypt, Thy soul like the cold stone lintel above, Thy feelings like the dead ashes of the pyre within - Cheer up - It's Friday. DAVID WILLIAMS We have known David for thirteen years, and have been through a lot together. Despite his lengthy nine year stay at S.H.S., he has managed to preserve a level of sanity through careful adherence to a policy of passive resistance, particularly emphasizing the 'passive' element. Meanwhile, his search for other such great tmths - specifically, the meaning of life and whereabouts of his physics manual - continues indefinitely. -D.M. and D.L.B. gf' 4-e' PETER YAMAMOTO Five short years ago, Selly's seventh grade was infiltrated by an assortment of notable rebellious characters. Within that group were the Itons, Gaults, Dungans, Hyders, Stuchberys, and Yamamotos. Yamo, qPierrefonds Pete, Yanem, Boto, Midway Man, whateverl never stood out among this group as one of the bigger rebels. He was the guy who would dream up the capers, then laugh as they were 'pulled off'. The guy with the calculators, clocks, and cameras. Nobody ever saw Peter as being outstanding. With the dawn of grade eleven, Yamo stepped into the forefront. Shaking off his previous image as a chocolate nibbler, he amazed us with his expertize at chugging beer, maiming L.C.C. running backs, and streaking around corners in his gleaming silver Cutlass. Now the year is over, Pete, still retaining his seventh grade rebel spirit, will again enter a new world. The difference this time is that now he will be recognized, not only as 'the guy with all the gadgets' or 'the guy with the beachbum looks', but now it has all come together and Pete will be recognized for what he really is: an all-around great guy. -Friends VLAD ZEMAN It was a day to remember - eight years ago a stranger entered the ranks of grade four - an infiltrator, a revolutionist and above all - a red. But the school knew nothing about this. It was only till around grade seven that he blew his cover. From that day on everybody knew about him. The real Vlad is a very quiet individual, but at times a killer. I've heard rumours about him that would - well I won't go into details., Beside Greg Clarke, he must be the only individual to skip three years of Physical Education without being caught. Vlad goes onto CEGEP next year, if you ever want to see him, you'll find him at all the beer bashes, not signing up for Phys-ed, and talking about the good old times over an easy drinking O'keefe. Good luck, Vlad. -a friend JONATHAN ZYTO When one thinks of Jon, the first thing that comes to mind is army-boy . Jon, or Sarge, as he is affectionately called by his friends, is not one of those guys who fits into any mold. None will forget his rather untender methods of telling someone how much of an idiot they are, nor his totally unorthodox song lyrics. Jon surprised all the mothers on the football sidelines, who referred to him as poor little number 28 , by smashing any innocent body which happened to wander through his safety zone. Apart from anything else, Jon was known to have the highest drinking resistance of anyone in the grade. He has counted many nefarious late nights out with the Black Watch and friendly Spanish associates, which usually terminated in his being forced to rap on his brother's upstairs bedroom in the wee hours of the morning. One could say without a doubt that Jon is the most memorable character in the grade. So next New Year's Eve, when you're looking for a great time, pay a visit to the Sarge, you'll never forget it.

Another year. The junior staff indulge in a retrospective musing. No two days are identical. The routine, broken by the ordinary boy saying something apparently out of character - a straw in the wind? Reassess your evaluation of this particular young mind. A timid one gains confidence - did we help? The art taken down from the classroom walls evokes memories - sometimes funny, frequently revealing. The bored looks turning to interest as a boy reads a narrative poem extremely well. The pleasure and sense of achievement one feels when you hear your own untaught vocabulary being used by two friends in a lunch-time conversation. The expanding mind that defies you to allow your own to shrink. We go on and on. Thank god for summer holidays. Thank god too for September and renewal of the cycle.

The manager laughed so hard that Papa went out of the bank. He thought he could invent something that nobody had ever invented. Finally, he decided that he'd make solid doughnuts. He went back to the bank and filled the doughnuts with liquor. So if you don't want to get drunk, eat solid doughnuts. Once there was a ghost. He always used to boast Because he was the spookiest ghost. That's why he used to boast.

A small beam of light hit me. It sent me into the year 4981 A.D. on earth. I was fascinated with the, new houses. The new houses were glass bubbles floating in the air. The cars were rocket tubes. l went into a motel for the night. The bathrooms had an automatic hose. When it hears on it turns on. When you want hot water, call hot. If you want cold water, say cold. When you want it to turn off, say off, ' The beds were very cozy. The next morning, I went to have breakfast. There were eggs and bacon. The food has not changed, I said. Then I went outside and the sun was beaming straight at me. It was a very hot day. Then at night, there was a red beam of light. It came from my time machine. It sent me back to the year 1980 A.D. As soon as I got back, my time machine was destroyed. I went outside to tell everybody, but no one would listen. Then I went back home and went to sleep.

He said, yes, if I wore a helmet. I said I would so we went to the top of the mountain. We got into a sled and went speeding down the hill. In the middle of the hill we went off the track, and when we came out we were stopped by a net. by Billy Lloyd Matthew Stevenson 3A THE HERO There was once a dog that was very good and his master worked in a bank. This dog's name was Trapper and he was a watch dog. Once Trapper was at his master's bank and was tied to his master's desk, sleeping, and he was so quiet his master forgot all about him and left him at the bank. Unluckily for Trapper it was a long weekend. On Saturday Trapper broke free and wandered around. He looked at the safe and found it had not been locked! That night Trapper could not sleep so he stayed up. Just then he heard a loud CRACK! and two men with guns came stalking in. The burglar alarm went rr-rrrrrrrring and one said, The lock is open Frank, get the loot! Trapper went to hide. Just then the police came on the scene and there was a big gun fight but the burglars were getting the upper hand. Then Trapper attacked and while the burglars fought Trapper the police moved in and caught the burglars! Trapper was given the Dickin medal - highest award for animal bravery. The End.

I was looking at the ceiling, but then I heard a noise downstairs. I went downstairs and saw our dog talking to our cat. The cat said to the dog, Are you having fun at this house? Our dog replied, Of course I am. Then the cat went out the window, and our dog went back to where he sleeps. I went back to my bedroom, and I still could not get to sleep. Then I awoke, saying, What a dream. Then I went downstairs and had breakfast.

A few months later, he forgot about it and he wanted it and he could not find it. He looked all over the place but he could not find it. So he went to his chest. He thought for a long time and he opened it and looked for it and saw a shiny thing and it was the secret key. He picked it up and went upstairs and forgot what he needed it for. But the next day, he remembered what he needed the secret key for and he went to the door which the secret key was for and he opened the door and got his pants out. STAR TREK It is star date, 5981.

THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING HORSE One day Alec Ramsay and Henry Dailey were in the barn feeding the black stallion, when the 'phone rang in Henry's room. I'll get it, Alec said. After Alec hung up the 'phone, he said, It was John, the rider of the Cyclone, he thinks he knows where the black stallion's father is. Where is he? asked Henry. I don't know, Henry,', Alec said. He is coming here to talk to you in the house. They finished feeding Black, as Alec named him, then they went into the house to wait for John. HONK HONK That's him, yelled Alec.

Nicolas Matossian Grade 4 THE CHIPMUNKS REVOLT NO. 2 One day, on an early afternoon, a chipmunk was sitting and thinking about all the glory and pomp he would have if he were a king. Ah, it would be fabulous, he said, thinking about what he would do. The next morning, the chipmunk was off to ask the other chipmunks if they wanted to help him in a revolt against the people of New York. So he sent letters to all the chipmunks in the area saying, Dear fellow chipmunks, I am happy to say I have decided that we are going to revolt. So they did because the next day there were chipmunks everywhere and they ruled forever more. Steven Horrobin Gr. 4 OO Taoddaa Junior School Sports 41 - ' t Let's get him.

Most notable, however, was the initiation of La Sixieme - a French immersion programme for grade six. The boys learned to speak French Hfacilement et efficacementf' The enthusiasm generated in the Middle School has been most rewarding. To a large extent this spirit is attributable to the sincere effort and hard work of a dedicated staff. To these people, I express a special thank you. L.l.

Some interesting projects were un- dertaken by the boys. A great deal of different talents and skills were displayed. Many worked hard trying to create their own individual art forms. lt was an extremely productive year with a large amount of enthusiasm shown by everyone. -The Central Committee Junior Debating Debating at Selwyn House makes up a large part of the school's extracurricular programme. The students have ranked highly in competitions of all kinds. In addition to maintaining Selwyn's high academic standard, the programme provides extensive enjoyment for the boys. We are grateful for the effort put into activity. -The Central Committee Electronics Club This year, something new was added to the Middle and High School lists of activities, in the form of an Electronics Club which included students from grades seven and eight. The first half of the year was spent on fundamentals and theory - mainly because there was no equipment to work with apart from what the staff advisor brought from his home. We discussed such things as transformer theory, movement of electrons, magnetic fields, and so on. In the month of February we obtained sufficient equipment and supplies to begin putting some of our theory sessions into practical form. Mr. Reid purchased cutters, soldering equipment, batteries, meters, and so on, plus half a dozen project kits. The club at this point took on a more interested and enthusiastic quality, as we began actually working with our hands. The boys built a lie detector, an induction-type metal detector and several more interesting projects, and had demonstrations of high voltage sparking, solar power creation and light-energy equivalents. Next year, the Electronics Club has plans to solve the world energy crisis, land a man on Jupiter, and, as a grande finale, to create life electronically. L.K. Junior Photography With the leadership of Mr. Krindle, the junior photography club learned a great deal of photographic knowledge this year. If you didn't know where to put the flash on the camera, sure enough, Mr. Krindle would be there helping and giving out his expert connaisance of camera paraphernalia. The highlight of the year was the photo contest. Four weeks prior to the closing date, every hour for darkroom printing and developing was taken up by the students but, luckily for the students, the deadline for the contest was delayed twice, extending it for two additional weeks. Everybody in the club learned something new. Some of the individuals found themselves taking pictures for the yearbook, preparing them for future photo years. A great thanks must go to Mr. Krindle for his patience and never-ending cooperation. Keep on clicking'!

All the people here seem so nice to me. There are hills and mountainsg The grass is so green. There are trees and plants, And rocks, and mud, and cattle grazing in fields. And when winter comes, Everything is cold. The grass isn't green and the cattle Graze no more, everything is whiteg White with a haze. Snow covers the ground and children play Outside in their boots. And they wait, and they wait, and they wait All winter for the spring to come, When they can play tennis in their shorts, And short-sleeve shirts too. You see, there are so many things for me, FLIES Aggravating, buzzing, biting, Oh what pests they are. Bothering, tearing, eating, Now we could do without them. You swat them, you chase them, But still they persist to fly around While working in the garden, One sneaks by your ear.

Senior Senior School Report Mr. B.S. Stevens, Director of Studies As usual, this has been a busy year, highlighted by the normal priorities - being sure that students keep up to the work, that things work as smoothly as possible - that people ACHIEVE. Without pointing out any particular frustrations or satisfactions, one can say that it's been a good year - the elevens led the school and the others accepted their lead in a reasonably satisfactory way. All in all, a good year. 7 . m A' hi V.. 8A Amtmann - 'The Quiet Man, Bernier - Burn! Burn!! Burn!!! Antony - The Nuclear Physicist. Essig - I left it on your desk, Sir Gottlieb - The Animal.

's tl 5' N WX Senior Art This year, the Senior Art group delved into various areas of the field of art. They experimented with face molds, pen and ink drawings, water colours, pastels and sketching. All of the groups efforts went on display on Activities night, delighting all who saw the show. l' -5 ,s1nslg' Science Club Fizzel, pop, bang. These were the sounds eminating from the Science Club this year. Under the enthusiastic leadership of Mr. Kershaw, the boys constructed a still to produce alcohol, and made various explosive gases, such as Clorine, Hydrogen and Oxygen. With the arrival of Activities Night, the club set up shocking experiments such as a Van- dergraff generator, electron gun and vacuum chamber. In November, under the organization of Eugene Kovalik and leadership of Mr. Kershaw, the boys visited the Shell Refineries in eastern Montreal where they toured the massive complex. We thank Mr. Kershaw for his enthusiastic leadership, and are looking for bigger and better things in the future. The Yearbook A new departure was attempted this year in giving the major responsibility in preparing the record of the year's events to the students of grade ten, rather than following the time-honored tradition of letting the senior class carry the load. There were several reasons for this change. First, we like to make the usual jokes and say that everyone knows grade ten boys can be threatened far more effectively than grade eleven. ln the first place, they are smaller. Thus, they are more easily intimidated into getting the job done. And get the job done, they must. Second, the grade ten boys will still be in the school the next year. Thus, to continue the joke, they cannot get away with perpetrating the deed and then graduating, so that they will not have to answer for what they have committed. Third, and the serious reason, is that the yearbook is in a very real way a tribute to the graduating class in any school. Should a grad class write its own tribute? There are several other considerations. In their ultimate year, our grade eleven students are very busy - or should be, at least. They are after their final marks. They are seeking to enter university or college, and it is questionable whether they should also have the preoccupation of turning out this very major piece of work. As far as the staff advisor is concerned, the experiment has been a smashing success. The tens have taken over beautifully. However, the grade eleven class has not kept out of things entirely. Four of the seniors have been heavily involved, at their own request and as a result of their own interest. But the tens have led things this year. Every department - advertising, grad notes, class notes, sports write-ups, photography, and so on - was ahead of the normal situation at the time of this writing, late April. And so, to repeat a phrase, as far as the staff advisor is concerned, this is the way it should be. The students are to be congratulated on what appears at this point to be a job very well done. W.M.R. Woodworking Selwyn House's woodworking programme has progressed significantly over the past few years. With such sophisticated equipment as the lathe, electric drill, and band saw, the boys made stools, candle holders, tables, and cabinets. Each student had the chance to display his productlsj on Activities Night. - The Central Committee A- Q Chess Club Traditionally, the Chess Club has been very popular with the Senior School only. This year, nonetheless, John-Peter Guy, Charles Mappin, and Max Plojing took time out of their lunch periods to administer a Middle School chess programme. We hope that the Middle School will become as actively involved as is the Senior School. Highlights of the year included Speed Chess , competition against the computer, and lots of casual games. There was little other outside competition this year, as the aforementioned activities more than took up everyone's interest. - The Central Committee. Math Club The Math Club, under the supervision of Mr. Litvack, strives to promote interest and creativity in mathematics. The students work at a variety of mathematical puzzles. Time is also allotted to prepare students for the Junior and Senior Math Competition. The ideal is to strive for a recreational and constructive class. i Senior Photography This year, under the leadership of Mr. Krindle, boys from the upper grades enjoyed a thoroughly interesting course in photography. Club members learned proper darkroom procedures, including printing and processing of film, and attended classes on how to improve their skills. During the year, a photo contest was held and received an overwhelming response. Those attending the Activities Night will remember the quality of the photographs displayed. Various prizes were offered though in the end, and everyone gained something from his effort. We thank Mr. Krindle for offering his time and knowledge, and wish him equal success with future photography clubs. A.T.A. Junior and Senior Jazz Bands The Selwyn House Junior and Senior Jazz Bands have enjoyed a very successful year. The Junior Jazz Band began this year and shows excellent potential for next year. Almost all of the members of the Junior Jazz Band performed at the Junior and Senior Prize-Givings. The Selwyn House Senior Jazz Band made its public debut at the Manoir Westmount on March 9, 1980. The concert was enjoyed by both the residents and the members of the band. Other concerts this year included an exchange concert with Dunton High School, the coeducational aspect of this concert being quite inspirational, and a concert was performed at the High School of Montreal for the McGill Conservatory. The Bands are looking forward to an even busier schedule next year. Best of luck to those students who have participated in the jazz band program and who are graduating this year. David Nutting - Director 1. l if Debating Club This year, under the direction of old boy, Doug Peets, the debating club garnered high stan- dings in G.M.A.A. competition in and out of the school. One Saturday, they hosted many schools from the province for the semi-finals of the G.M.A.A. tournament. Although our boys did not win the finals of the debates, they debated extremely well on an individual basis. Tim Reid placed fifth from amongst many other speakers at the tournament, and many of the other boys did exceptionally well. Many thanks go to Doug Peets for his time and effort. The OCH1 This year, after one season of being in limbo, the Moon lSelwyn's best newspaper in yearsl was resurrected. A group of grade eleven boys, amongst whom were Ali Argun, Greg Clarke, Chris Creighton, Mike Dungan, Glenn Fong, Lawrence Hsu and Clive Spiegel, got together whenever they could to assemble a paper consisting of excellent articles, humour, and interviews. Two issues actually hit the presses, while one in the making somehow never materialized. All those involved had a great time providing the student body and teachers with mature reading material.

Just because Selwyn House does not offer the serv- ices of a professional guidance counselor, must the existence of some personal problem which might be mitigated through counseling be automatically denied to our students? No. every normal student has some problems during. his high school years. whether these problems originate from his school or his home. Cer- tain limitations. of course. hinder our school from hiring such a person, the most glaring of these being money. but the school has de- vised an alternative to guidance counseling. The administration- has attempted to pro-' vide a substitute for this service by appoint- ing teachers ae grade advisors in Grades Nine and Ten. Although the idea seems accept- able, the execution has not been very succes- ful. The reasons that stem from the reluc- tance of a student with a serious problem to approach an advisor and seek advise are as tollowen first, the advisor is not access- ible because he must teach classes. Students must approach him during his all too infre- quent free periods. second. the advisor may not be able to deal with the more weighty problems of a student if he has not had the proper training: third. and most importantly, the advisor might not be s pathetic towards the problems of a student fgspecially if they tcontinued on pam- 71 Features Heather Map .............

It has hit many students, and when it does they have no hope of ever again leading normal lives. The disease was transmitted by Mr. Moffat, the Physics teacher, and quickly took hold of a portion of the senior school. The computer was purchased for the exclusive use of the students and throughout the past year they have produced some extremely good material. The programs were in two languages and ranged from ingenious games to extensive mathematical applications. The computer itself is an excellent system comprising: three terminals, one printer, two disc drives and one Central Processing Unit. In the future the computer will be used as a very useful educational tool by the teachers, but in the meantime the students are teaching them- selves, and having a great time doing it.

The production, undertaken solely by the students themselves and entirely on their own initiative, had been under preparation for several months, and despite an ex- tremely busy academic and athletic schedule, the piece was exhaustively rehearsed in anticipation of a per- formance that would help to raise funds for the Graduation Dance. To the great satisfaction of all involved, this objective was admirably achieved. The production was initially conceived by Clive Spiegel, who himself portrayed Lady Bracknell, Wilde's paradoxically outrageous traditionalist. The cast also consisted of seven other senior students: Michael Dungan as Algernon Moncrieffg Ali Argun as John Worthing, J.P.g Glenn Fong as I-lon. Gwendolyn Fairfax, Stephen Kohner as Miss Cecily Cardewg David Daly as Miss Prism, the Governessg Chris Creighton as mtl .45 Lane, manservantg and Lawrence Hsu as Merriman, the butler. To this cast, as almost an after thought, was added Duncan Baird in the capacity of Director. Serious rehearsals began in mid-March in two local churches and several homes, as the production date approached, props and costumes were gathered from the Theatre du Nouveau Monde and the Phoenix Theatre, as well as from various private donors. Despite a lack of rehearsal time on the School stage, the evening's performance was executed smoothly and with confidence. When asked about the production, the Director, Duncan Baird, was most appreciative of the cooperation and total support he received from the cast and other members of Grade ll. It was their en- thusiasm and hard work that made this such a suc- cessful first-time venture. Photography Contest 1 E5 5 3 a N254 -B .ee ifyii BW lst Alec Brown BW 3rd Glenn Fong This year, the yearbook section of the yearbook and the photography club decided to expand the annual photography contest from the traditional sports-only subject matter to all areas of interest. The theme of this year's contest was The Life of Selwyn House . Anything that in some way depicted the spirit of the school was con- sidered eligible. Despite the expansion of the contest to colour entries as well as black-and-white, the vast majority of the 70 entries were in black and white. The number of entries, however, did set a school record, particularly amongst the Junior Photography Club members. Yearbook Photography looks forward anxiously to this up-and-coming talent bank to replenish our archives, and we hope that next year's competition will be just as exciting as this year's.

Most of the guests arrived between 9:15 and 9:45, obviously wishing to make a spectacular entrance. The turnout by Grade nines, tens, and elevens was ad- mirable, as a good chunk from each appeared. There were many teachers present as well. The parents were not as numerous as hoped for, but those who did come had a good time. A live band supplied a slower paced music for the adults, with many of the younger generation having a great time dancing to a different kind of beat. T.J.'s Mobile Disco provided the music for those wanting to 'get down'. Events which stood out during the evening included a Bunny l-lop which drew almost everyone in the room. When the band upped the tempo, however, many of the bunnies ended up hopping away. A bar supplied refreshments for the adults as well as the youngsters, with a nice bartender supplying everyone with a plate along with their change. All in all, we had a ball, which provided ample opportunity for interaction between the two generations. And we all look forward to the ninth annual.

The Glass Menagerie On Friday, November 30, a company from Mon- treal's Phoenix Theatre brought to Selwyn House Tennessee Williams' play THE GLASS MENAGERIE. This play is studied in detail at the grade ten level in the School, but it was attended by all boys from grade eight to grade eleven. The subject matter, a genteel southern family's attempt to escape from reality, and the cast's portrayal of the family members held the audience spellbound throughout the two-hour production. The intensity of the acting established a close communication between the players and the audience, and the production demonstrated the dramatic possibilities that exist with even the simplest Laura 1Nancy Carragherj playing with her beloved of stage sets and lighting.

Visiting Bands The past year has been complemented by many visiting bands, including the Canadian Armed Forces Band, the Orpheous Bacchus group, the Jazz and Concert Bands from Upper Canada College, and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra Quartet. All in all it was a very musical year. This year, the grade eleven French course was divided into three groups, each led by a different teacher. M. DeGuire's group was concerned with cultural aspects of French-Canadian society. In order to give the boys a taste of daily French life, M. DeGuire arranged for each of his three classes to write and perform a play, based on the knowledge they acquired in his class. Everyone involved had great fun writing and acting out his respective scripts. Here's wishing next year's class equal success. Grade Eleven French Plays The Leadership Weekend ln the early weeks of September, the graduating class of 1980 travelled to Ayer's Cliff for a leadership weekend. They left on Friday afternoon in three buses fSardinesl loaded with the thirty four eager students with their luggage. The food was not trusted with the students, so Mr. Varey took it up separately. On the Saturday, the students formed groups and discussed relevant issues that could pop up in every day life at Selwyn. Topics were from theft and vandalism to understanding the juniors CU, -all the good things in life. Since there was plenty of food, they totally pigged out on whatever they could find. On Saturday night, Mr. Wearing did his thing with stag movies tif you know what I meanl, and different houses displayed their extraordinary talent ranging from joke telling to singing to television commercials loatiesj. The nights were the best. Pool highlighted the evenings and every free moment. Some found themselves reserving the pool table for 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning. Some found the waters of Lake Massawippi inviting so the brave ones went swim- ming. The ones who took canoes and row boats had a few moments of peace before they were tipped. The students learned a great deal from the weekend in terms of leadership and it brought the grade much closer together. lt was a fantastic way to start off the year.

Just what in the world was wrong with ' Z I : herself! What was she doing to herself? She was just going crazy! 1 4 lt then suddenly occurred to her that maybe she was feeling this way because she felt embarrassed at having spoken as violently as she had done in front of the Board of Directors of a major publishing company. Hal Well! l certainly did not do a bad job there! O.K., I have to admit, I might have been a little too emotional there, she thought to herself, but you have to admit, it was effective. She was trying to convince them of the dire need for Canadian literary works to be promoted in Canada. For more than five years now, she had been working to make more and more businessmen aware of the talent in their own country which was worth taking a look at . She could feel that most of the larger companies were more interested in the money- making aspect of the whole proposal more than anything else. At the back of everyone's mind was the indisputable fact which proved itself again and again: the Canadian market is best exploited by Canadian writers themselves. At this point in her successful career, she did not care any longer why or to what end publishers accepted the printing of Canadian works, just as long as they did. Was she wrong? How different her outlook had been ten years ago! She removed from her purse a gold watch her boss had given her for Christmas. The inscription read: TO DIANE HOBSON - FOR TEN YEARS OF EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. She was happy, but only for a fleeting instant. Just two months ago, she had finally divorced her husband. And, just now, she was reminded of the whole ordeal by his name. At one time, she had been proud to have that name, but that was long ago. Looking around her, she suddenly felt lonely. There was nothing but plush, purple velvet-covered seats which were completely empty. She was used to travelling alone, or at least, she liked to think she was. I-Ier employers had decided for themselves that she was just too important to be allowed to travel with the general public. At first, many years ago, she had been flattered and rather enjoyed being treated specially. But now, for some reason, she could not stand it any longer. She could still hear Eric shouting at her. The more she thought about him, the guiltier she felt. He always screamed: You're married to your job! Not to ME! It seemed she did neglect that fact. During all those years while she was away, he had to act as father, cook, housekeeper, and mother to the three children. Sure, they hired a maid. But, now that she thought about it, it was exactly at that point in their marriage when they were farther away from each other than ever before. She sighed deeply and looked out the window once again. The clouds were still there, but somehow they seemed much more separate from her than before. lt seemed as if she were looking into a picture in some magazine. The sun was partially covered by the clouds which were continually overwhelming it. -H' Damm! she shouted to herself. How could I have let him go! Fifteen years ago, they had been very, very close. At that time, they were obscure writers, barely subsisting on meager incomes. Through a friend, they were introduced to a publisher who was interested in Canadian works. It seemed that this keen entrepreneur had the novel idea of making millions of dollars in the local market be selling native literary works. Eric was hesitant: he was not impresed by this man or his ulterior motives and devices. But, she was worried! It was only a few months before she would give birth to their first child, and she did not even know if they were going to be able to give the baby enough food to eat.

Eric, as it turned out, had never been happy with such as arrangement. She had always almost taken it for granted that when she was happy, Eric was happy, and that there was nothing more left to be said. Now, she was trying to find out exactly what had originally led her to where she was now, but did not succeed. It was actually quite useless, her efforts were blinded by the fact that it was really too late for her to be able to change very much. The plane will land in Montreal in fifteen minutes, Mrs. Hobson, she heard the stewardess announce, I hope you have enjoyed your trip. Thank you for flying Air Canada, and Merry Christmas. Diane was supposed to be attending a convention in the city in a few days, but she hardly felt she would be able to take very much more. She did not care about the convention or the crazy, senseless ideas her employers had, or anything else. Her own children at that moment were spending Christmas all by themselves. That was, of course, if her ex-husband did not even visit his own children. She was quite sure he was not there. What was to become of her? What was wrong with her? Right in the very climax of her career this just HAD to happen! Her life had been one of utter confusion and she was powerless to overcome it. The pilot, the navigator and the stewardess came out with some photographers who had just found their way into the plane to meet this famous Canadian writer whom they had heard so much about. They found her in the middle of all those posh purple seats, crying, with her face buried in her lap. The stewardess found the remains of a gold watch which had been thrown so hard against the wall it had almost gone right through. The photographers were frantically clicking their cameras lst Place Grade 11 Meighen essay JE ME SOUVIENSH BY WHAT? THOR VALDMANIS Of all the historical mottos in Canada, there is one which is tremendously important to the future of this nation. It will determine whether the nation breaks up into pieces or stays as a solid country. All this depends on one factor, how people interpret an idea. lt is so popular an idea that it is on the license plate of every vehicle in the province of Quebec. But even though it is so well established in Quebec, many people still misinterpret it, a fact which is a major tragedy in Canadian history. Quebec's motto is: Je me souviens Que ne sous le lys Je crois sous la rose. This translates into English like this: I remember that born under the lily I prospered under the rose. The last two lines are frequently omitted, and the motto is inscribed on the Quebec coat of arms is abbreviated to Je me souviens. Some people believe that Je me souviens means that Quebecers should remember the loss the French took at the Plains of Abraham. Some feel they must remember the racial insults, such as speak white , that may have been imposed on them in adolescent conflicts. For others, it recalls the shame and common ordeal of a group of underdogs. To others still, it is of no importance - even in Quebec, there are front end license plates that read: Je me souviens ELVIS. The full text of the motto is rather hard to misunderstand, and perhaps more care should be taken to ensure that it is quoted in full. In the Middle Ages, King Charlemagne was fond of stating ll me souvient , to impress upon his friends and foes alike that what was happening would be recalled by him. According to the official Quebec government pamphlet on The Quebec National Assembly : all nations like to set down the glorious and tragic moments of their history in stone, keeping the valorous deeds and great figures of their history alive. The National Assembly Building in Quebec City, built bet- ween 1877 and 1886 is faithful to tradition in this respect. It is here that the motto, Je me souviens , which we owe to Eugene Tache, was inscribed for the first time. The architect of the National Assembly Building in Quebec City was a Mr. Eugene Etienne Tache, who also served as Deputy Minister of Lands and Forests in the Quebec Government. The granddaughter of Mr. Tache, Mrs. H. Paquet, is alive today, living in St. Lambert. She explained to me that the motto of Quebec really means that Canada was founded by France and then the English took over, and both the French and English flourished under English rule. -H The Province of Quebec officially adopted Je me ga: souviens as the Provincial motto on the ninth of I ' 'j I ' February 1883, and Mr. Tache had the motto carved into the Legislative Building. On the ninth of December, 4 X 1939, it was again officially confirmed as the motto of . an--QL.

Francophones have been blaming their social and financial problems on the English. But many more Francophones, such as Mrs. Paquet, who gave me much of my in- formation, are grateful for what the French and English Canadians have done for one another. During the Second World War, Canada was summoned to the aid of Great Britain and the rest of the Free World. Many Francophones believed that it was not their war. It was an Anglophone war, because Canada was going to help Great Britain. But many French Canadians did not see it that way. The 22nd Regiment, the Van Doos, during the Second World War, was basically made up of French-Canadians, fighting under the Quebec motto on their coat of arms. They were one of the most effective units in the Canadian Corps during the Second World War, accumulating no fewer than two Victoria Crosses, six Distinguished Service Orders, and ten Distinguished Service Medals, not to mention many casualties. The proud military tradition with which this group was associated contributed to the festive and loyal mood in Quebec. The men who did not fight forgot Mr. Tache's poem. They forgot our national anthem, Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee Instead of looking back at history and taking pride at our accomplishments, they look and see that not everything is perfect and make a big deal out of it. Some preach separation, others Hee from Quebec, and others still adopt a philosophy of I don't care . In 1958, The Quebec Awakening occurred. Politicians started to point out to Francophones that they were being mistreated. Until then, Canada, made up of both French and English people, was one of the world's most prosperous nations. But this was when Canada was sticking together. As the French and English Canadians began to fight, Canada's economy went downhill. Investors are wondering, Is Quebec going to separate or not? As well as hurting the economy, this break between Anglophones and Francophones is hurting people. The idealists, who have run and ruined Quebec for decades, are ruining the lives of many families. Families who have had their roots planted in Quebec soil for generations are forced to leave, either because the breadwinner's company is moving from Quebec or because of laws that prohibit people from making free choices on various issues. Why can't we live and thrive proudly together in the spirit of the full motto of Quebec? Must we be led by people who think that something is so bad as to justify ruining what we did and can have? This beautiful country, where French and English and other cultures have thrived and prospered together, faces a grave challenge. Can we keep this beautiful province of Quebec together with the rest of Canada? Like Mr. Tache, and his granddaughter, Mrs. H. Paquet, we must keep alive the belief that it has been, is, and always can be that: born under the lily I prosper under the rose. lst Place Grade 10 Meighen Essay ' f'? 1 'L WQTNW94' 1. if -.,- .4 fj i .

Behind him lay long years of endless preparations, in which he had built his power and stamina until he was finally ready to make his move. It now seemed that all his preparations had been unnecessary, because as his skis slid over the mountain there seemed to be no resistance, even though he knew that the power of the mountain could easily destroy his attempt and send him plummeting back, back down. The summit was drawing very near now and he could see it very clearly, despite the fog that had blanketed the region for the past little while. Territory after territory, country after country, he had had to travel to arrive at his destination. Now that he had reached the summit, and it was all over: he wondered if he had really accomplished anything. To answer this question, Leni took a long look at the area around him, at the blazing summits and the dark, black-rock cliffs, and for some strange reason he felt that he was now the ruler, and that under him lay a mass of equally important smaller areas that seemed to shrink under his very gaze. He had started off the climb as a quest for knowledge and self-fulfilment, but now that he had attained both he forgot his original intentions and just lay back and enjoyed his assumed position of authority. When he awoke and looked at the horizon, he was scared, because the clouds were an eerie red, the snow a pale white, and the sea a deep blue. These were sure signs of a storm. He had stayed too long, taken too many chances. Now he was going to pay for it. he gathered up his possessions and started off down the mountain.

The very word created a rush of images and sounds in his mind, but, unfailingly, the flow always ended with the high speed flash of himself, stretched tensely on his luge, zipping down a path of sheer ice. These moments had seized him with increasing frequency as the Lake Placid games approached. Even par- ticipating in an Olympiad, let alone capturing a medal Cas many said he couldj would be the realization of a lifelong dream. Yet, now it was much more than a dream. It was a passion. How could it fail to be, after all the energy he had channelled towards it, and the sacrifices he had made for it? Endless hours of exhausting and deadly monotonous drills. Day in and day out, he lived and breathed his event. The only saving aspects were the com- petitions, although rare, where he could experience the biting cold, sweeping over his speeding, straining body. And the Olympics! As he entered the final weeks of preparation, his coach eased up. Less strenuous workouts and more frequent competitions whetted his desire and readiness for the big one . This was one of those competitions. Easy by his standards, he was the favorite to win, and, unsurprisingly, he had qualified for the finals. He sat calmly, trying to ralax, as he waited for his turn. When they called him, he went quickly to the starting gate. His coach met him there, and, as he, out of nervous habit, rubbed the boy's shoulders, he cautioned, Just win it, kid. Nothing special. This is the last race before the big one, so just do it like you've been taught. Just one more time. What ensued became only a blur in his mind. The flash of white as he shot from the start, down the ice ramp, the yells from all sides, the sudden knifing pain, the screams, and the darkness. Only as he lay, leg raised in traction, with his parents standing silently in the background, did the events begin to sink in.

The guano-riddled chocolate bar he Sent back to the factory still had not produced results, and he'd sold or eaten the contents of the last free sample crate tfrom a different company, of coursel. Something was wrong. His remoulded confectionary with additives was indistinguishable from the original, and he was sure to use an alias he had not already used. Maybe he'd been discovered, and anest was near. He would think of other matters. John went to his basement to check the mould cultures on the egg-rolls and pizzas. Another two weeks till the expiry date, and they'd be green with fungus in one week. His supply of free specialty foods was not likely to end: the local food processors were only too happy to shut him up. This pleased him: he was not losing his talent. He went back upstairs to get a mimeographed Kentucky Fried Chicken sales receipt. He knew what kind of story got the best results there: he served the product at a birthday party, and the predictable happened. Sometimes the manager on duty did not even look at the forged receipt. He left his house, got into his car, and drove downtown to a major department store. These were the best. You could try a stock hard-luck story in any of ten departments, and if just one paid off, that made the trip worthwhile. A Saturday's hard work could net him fifty dollars profit. Today he was returning an electric typewriter that smoked, and a large fire extinguisher he'd claim had gone off in his living room. The trick, John discovered, was to make them think you'd be satisfied if they gave you a more expensive model: then manoeuvre yourself into a situation in which they could not possibly ask you to pay the difference. First, the typewriter: It really bothers me in an establishment of your reputation Then the fire extinguisher: Pvc got a good mind to sue He collected a deluxe model, and two canisters, respectively, for forty milIlfCS of thoroughly enjoyable work. Flush with victory, and wondering why more people didn't avail themselves of the system as he did. John drove to the Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet nearest him, as the commercials intoned, with full expectations of success, and an orgiastic feast to cap an exhilarating day. He stood at the counter, his chest puffed with indignation, which tumed to gut-wrenching fear followed by intense embarrassment, as he recognized the manager from a previous conquest. He turned and fled, never to return, reflecting on how his fortunes had changed. He would go hungry that night. Almost heart-broken at the day's fifty-percent failure rate, John E. returned home. He parked his car in the driveway, and walked up the front steps. As he opened the door, the same bottomless sense of dread that had passed over him earlier that day came back. Something was wrong.

THE COVEN AT ANGLINIUM The Coven at Anglinium, a legend of mystery and happiness, bewilders all present-day inhabitants of the old English town, once occupied by the very spirit of Satan. The story, whether it is fact or fiction, happened a very long time ago on a February evening. The town of Anglinium settled down for a nocturnal repose, as all good Christian citizens, from the most in- nocent babe to the most distinguished Elder, had retired to their various dwellings. One man, however, remained awake, as he wrote furiously into a shabby, leather-bound journal. The written passage, eerie and frightening, read thus: I, Thomas Leeborn, on this past evening of the thirtefirst of January, sixteen hundred and twelve, the yere of our Lord, have seen at midnight, as has been in the past, three and ten friendless sorceresses, aged messangers to Satan assembling and having chanted several unearthly incantations, and then proceeded to return home, all this having taken place at the revene between the two grazed noles neer the northe of town. l shall proceed on this evening to pursue and observe the clark congregation, as usual, Lord willing. Meanwhile, the muffled sound of marching feet echoed through the stillness, indicating that someone else was awake. Mr. Leeborn, hearing this, proceeded to seek out the source of the eerie footsteps. He glanced at the clock on the mantle and realized that the coven might be gathering, as it neared midnight. The suspicious Puritan slipped out of his cottage cautiously, and crept about the narrow cobblestone streets. Finally, he spotted a small collection of old women stalking out of the north gate, in the direction of the ravine. Leeborn discreetly followed the coven, examining their every move. By the time the wicked hags reached the chosen place, the Puritan was in a state of sheer confusion. Should he rush back into town and awake the Elders, or should he try to identify all thirteen witches? As he hid behind a nearby oak tree, Thomas continued to observe the strange spectacle. The enchantresses lit torches and formed a ring around a crumbling stone altar. For the first time, the curious man looked at the witches' faces carefully. Each had a hunched back, long, sharp nails, dishevelled, greasy hair, and a wrinkled, sour-looking face. All dressed in loose black robes. The observer had expected the hideous thirteen to commence the habitual supernatural intoning. To the horror of the good man's soul, he saw a frightened little girl, who had been missing for some time in the village. An old crone tossed her into the centre of the ring, another witch stepped before her and proceeded to mutter an occult prayer, We, the Anglinium Coven, recognize Satan, our Lord of light on this evening of February first, the Ceremony of Light. We offer this humble sacrifice to thee and hope thou wilt smile upon our Black Mass. Another witch then crept towards the child, and she held up a long, sharp blade, which gleamed in the light of the full moon. Leeborn dashed towards the group and charged the armed crone. He forcibly tackled and subdued her, but her wicked cohorts unified to restrain the intruder, who shouted furiously, Let me go, you unearthly creatures! Let the poor girl return home, and repent. Confess to the town Elders and beg for their mercy, pray that God will also be kind to you. You may be forgiven, vile apprentices of Lucifer. Silence, fool! retorted a particularly ugly woman, You shall burn in our Dark Lord's fire! screached another hag. I beg of you to let that poor, miserable child alone. Burn me and torture me, but you'll pay for it in Eternity, returned the terrified victim. Bind him to the altar. Take the child and tie her to a tree. We shall deal with her eventually. I wish to waste no time in conducting the sacrifice of this fine specimen! This beast appeared to be the leader of the old hags, for all her orders were instantly obeyed. At last, the Black Mass commenced. The hideous criminals muttered several malicious incantations while administering blows to the victim with their burning torches. Suddenly, they ceased and knelt down. Then, the coven's principal prayed to Satan, hoping that the Devil would send fire onto the man. Damn you! You'll pay for your heinous crimes. The Elders will discover you. Repent! God help me! Save me from these beasts if it be your will, cried the petrified man. Silence him!, burn him! Master Leeborn, with all possible strength, tried to free himself from his bonds. Struggling, screaming, and flexing his muscles, the Puritan managed to fit his hand into his pocket, and pull out a wooden crucifix, which he slipped out of his pocket. Free me! he shouted. Silence! Wait for your death with honour. Release me, you wretches! You shall burn in Hell's fire. You'll pay! The frantic man tossed his cross onto the ground. The witches cringed in sheer horror - in sheer disbelief. A-a-a-a-holy c-c-cross! Master! O, my! Help us! Give us strength to endure. One by one, the repulsive witches and horrid area burned as their bodies and their meeting place became sanctified by the holy object. Unfortunately, Thomas Leeborn submitted to the flames of the witches as well. The only person who lived to tell of the macabre sight was the unnerved girl. The Angliniums found her the next morning, when they noticed the fire. She blurted out a description of the horrid scene that had passed, but lived to tell no more. From that day forth, Angliniums have never had to worry about Satan coming near their town. lt seems he gave up around that area, after the incident with the Coven at Anglinium occurred.

Led by such jocks as Gavin Drum- mond, Tommy MacFarlane, Sebastian Gault, Sean Cote and David Doyle, the team pursued the delicate art of crunching, munching and burying the opposing warriors. Many thanks to coaches Kenny Reardon and Rob Wearing. We couldn't have killed 'em without you! Bantam 'B' Football This year, the bantam 'B' football team seemed to improve with every game played. A lot of effort and hard work was put into the games as many of the devoted players strove forcefully to fulfill an exceptional season. The last match of the five game season was played against our rivals, L.C.C. With both the talent and hard work of all the players, we put up a good fight. At the end of the first quarter, S.H.S. was winning 6-0 but L.C.C. came back to win I4-6. With the time and effort of the coaches Mr. Wearing and Kenny Reardon, the team had a fun and eventful year while learning the fun- damentals of tackle football. Aki 112 Senior Football This year's senior football team enjoyed an overwhelmingly successful season. Its five victories were all very one- sided and its two losses were near-triumphs. An explosive offense was headed by the consistent running of halfbacks Tony Iton. Alex Gault, and Greg Thompson. Most of their yardage gains were results of superb blocking by a strong, competent offensive line headed by Jim Smeaton, John Trott, and Brian Iton. As the season progressed, even quarterback David Daly's throwing ability showed prominence. His proficiency at passing to runningbacks coming out of the backfield added a new, deceptive dimension to the offense. Besides an exciting and high-scoring offense, defensive coach Geoff Dowd skillfully created a practically infallible defense. The unit played with a great deal of cohesion, motivation, and consistency. Cornerbacks Michael Dungan and Peter Yamamoto were constantly providing crucial support on sweep and pass defense, while Chris Creighton and Joshua Albert refused to allow the opposing teams to carry the ball through the line. It was a very enjoyable and satisfying season for all the players, and everyone is grateful to the fine coaching of Pierre Beauchamp and Geoff Dowd. Alex Gault Middle School Soccer The Middle School Soccer Team made up of grades six and seven and coached by Gary Butler had a somewhat disappointing season. Due to certain weaknesses, some players were called up to help the Bantam team, leaving us short of talent. The key to our poor play was that on certain occasions we were intimidated by older teams. However, the majority of games were lost by a very slim margin. We were lucky to have Jeff Bray for our goalie, as he often saved some of our games. Our defense of Thompson, Dohney, and Blachford was also a major factor in victories and credit must be given to forwards for their scoring. We would also like to thank the fans who came out and cheered us on. Bantam Soccer The Selwyn House bantam soccer season started off the year with a team which did not look very promising, but a lot of team spirit and some good coaching by Peter Govan enabled us to make it to the finals of the G.M.A.A. competition, though we lost 4-0 in the last game. The team improved considerably during the year. The team's defensive line was greatly responsible for our wins. Adam Bandeen, the goalie, had seven shut- outs during the season. He was helped by David Redwood, Bruce Brydon, and Hagen Menhert, the steel curtain , who made up the strong defense. Our team was able to prove to the rest of Selwyn that we were not just another team, but one of the best! Ffa. , ...n!Sx, ,.. Midget Soccer This year, the midget soccer team under the fine coaching of Mr. David Cude played out a full season of soccer action. The team toned up for the season at the La Flamme midget soccer tournament at which two games were lost, but much needed experience was gained. The team, led by star halfback John Czaharyn, then rolled through their G.M.A.A. schedule. The offense neatly piled up goals because of the work of Robert Sephton and David Stevenson. The defense, consisting of Paul and Christian Broomfield, John Shannon, Paul Sader, Garth Bray, and Thor Valdmanis, along with goalie Mat Ullman, made it quite difficult for opponents to score. The team advanced to the semi-finals of G.M.A.A. play. They fought a difficult game but lost 3-2 in the end. No tears, though. Midget soccer enjoyed an excellent season. Thanks should also be given to our bus squad who often came on late in many games to pull out vic- tones. M.V.P. John Czaharyn M.l.P.

The team competed against two other schools in the same league, namely, Westmount and Northmount High Schools. They travelled to both schools, and played many high-scoring matches in both singles and doubles competition. Selwyn put up a good fight with star singles players, Jeff Moore, Chris Eberts, Lawrence Hsu, and J.P. Guy leading up the team. Jonathan Herman and Andrew Vivian, David Miller and Duncan Baird, Clive Spiegel and Phil Lapin, joined by Denis Stevens and Grant Daly, all put in superlative efforts in the midget and juvenile doubles categories. This fall, the S.H.S. badminton team seems to have improved tremendously from previous years, and there is certainly hope for as productive a season next year. Bantam Badminton This year's Junior Badminton team consisted of several promising players. For some of the boys, it was their first year playing the game. All played exceptionally well and showed excellent progress in the learning skills and strategy of the game. The team had a fairly good season of competition. We are looking forward to an even better season next year for these bovs. COACHZ NJ. Trembath 5, Geofffy Moore l. Martin Essig 6, Geoff!-y Wagg 2- 12111 Ogilvie 7. John Kardos 3.

The occasion was the G.M.A.A. cross country running meet. We entered fifteen boys in three categories: running 2 l!2, 5, or 7 112 kilometers, according to their ages. Our months of training, it seemed, had paid off well. David Ramsey and lan Aitken led the field of fine placings, followed by the rest of the boys. We all left the meet with a feeling of ac- complishment, and the desire to keep on running. Oh yes, a word of warning to other contenders: next year, Weber's Runners will return, so beware! 118 4 Wrestling .f Q -1-l .:.s The enthusiasm generated in the training room this year was exceptional. The hard work and sweat most certainly paid off as the students performed excellently in tournaments. At the Riverdale Invitational Tournament, E. Taguchi and T. Valdmanis placed first and second respectively in the novice category. ln addition, P. Deleonardis and D. Skinner each qualified for the Quebec Games. The G.M.A.A. final was the highlight of the year when Selwyn House School placed a highly respectable third position out of eight teams. E. Taguchi and J. Zyto won gold medalsg M. Bzrezinski, P. Deleonardis, and D. Skinner, silver medalsg C. Broomfield, B. Iton, S. Hasko, B. Howard, and G. Thompson, bronze medals, and J. Albert, C. Chang, C. Creighton, and P. Yammamoto came fourth.

Our record this year, all together, was 9 wins, 8 losses, and we even succeeded in winning over Howard S. Billings, the traditional league leaders. Great improvement and promise were shown in Tony Munro, Esko Kilpinnen, Andrew MacKay, Max Plojing and Glenn Fong.

Its many achievements included winning the Upper Canada College Tournament, the Lower Canada College Tournament, and the Bishop's Tournament. But its most impressive accomplishment was the winning of the G.M.A.A. city cham- pionship in which the team defeated L.C.C. in the finals, by the score of 9-2. With superb goaltending from Matthew Ullman and John Elkin, a strong defense and an excellent forward line, the team was the strongest in the league. But much of the credit for the team's success goes to coach Pierre Beauchamp who devoted a great deal of time, patience and support in making this team what it was. ,I ..1 ' fj',l'fv2T Y'l7-'I ' ' F Senior Hockey The Senior Hockey team went without serious recognition this year, having been overshadowed by the nefarious Bantam squad. However, certain aspects of the season are worthy of recognition. The team played in the G.M.A.A. Juvenile category and placed third in the division of older and bigger players. When it came to competition at their own level, such as the Stanstead tournament, the seniors proved their ability and in fact, never lost to a team of their own age. One could not speak of the Senior Hockey Team without mentioning the coach, Mr. Cude, whose bountiful humour and goodwill entertained, not only the team, but also the occasional referee or opposing coach. None will forget his antics during the West Island Tournament as certain unnamed goalies happened to score on themselves twice consecutively. Mr. Cude will best be remembered for his famous half-time statement with the scoreboard registering 7-1, Boys, boys! Just don't end up losing 14-Z. Even more memorable was the Dude's face of ex- cruciating pain as the scoreboard registered an embarrassing, yes, you guessed it. 14-l. The team looks forward to next year when it thank such loyal team members such as captains Tony lton, Anand Sahai, Jim Smeaton, David Daly, and say hello to up and coming stars as John Czaharyn, Dave Ramsay and Shane Brady. ,, if ' Y va 5, Cudes' Dudes Midget Basketball 1979-80 This year's Midget Basketball team had a successful season. We won half of our games and posted a 6-5 record in league play. At the L.C.C. Tournament, after losing the first game in overtime, we won the next two games, capturing the Consolation Round. The team played impressively throughout the season and unfortunately marginally missed making the play-offs. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank Mr. Dowd for the great time and effort he put in, making this year a very rewarding one for all of us. Hirsh Bernstein h ' L in at r e -, CNN ., - 2.

The team won only five games. The boys played such teams as L.C.C., E.C.S., and the Sunlife group. Had it not been for the incredible talent of such people as Julien Tanko Gazdik and Dale Patterson, the team would certainly not have achieved its present record. These two boys were responsible for scoring most of the points. We hope next year's team will be considerably more successful on the court. lf' t ,.,--' Squash '80 , l Y 1 4 The most striking aspect of this year's team was its depth of talent, developed over the first three years of the team's existence. Consequently, the competition in order to qualify for a place on the team was high, more than 40 players striving to fill 20 places. Most notable were the new players: Michael Morden, Chris Eberts, Grant Daly, Gerard Reusing, Derek I-lam, Tim Utting, Duncan Ball, Andrew Woodall, John Shearson, John O'Brien, Robert Keene, Tim Andry, and others. At no other time did the depth of talent prove itself as clearly as against our traditional rivals, B.C.S. and Stanstead College 1Total matches won: S.H.S. 60 - Opposition 143. Many team members played also in provincial and national tournaments. D. Stevenson, S. Lafleur, C. Eberts, M. Morden, R. Ballon and P. Norris especially played well in the Quebec Provincial Championships and the M.B.S.C. Invitational. Most of the above as well as G. Daly and P. Laplante qualified and played for Team Quebec . S.H.S. competitors also played in the U.S.A. and Canadian Championships, with especially C. Eberts and D. Stevenson doing well, the latter to his great credit is also ranked very highly in Canada in his age category. Players also competed in the Upper Canada College Team Tournament and Trinity College School Tournament. Commendations should also be given to Nicholas Rideout, Reed Ballon, and Garth Bray. Our thanks to Mr. Brian Porter for his effort and guidance throughout the year. Sean Lafleur, Cpt. Tennis Tennis, albeit not officially a recognized sport at Selwyn House, is involving an increasing number of boys each year. S. Lafleur, A. Osterland, D. Ramsey, and J. Torriani won an exhibition match at Bishops College School. J. Herman joined the above players in the G.M.A.A. tournament. The substitute players were R. Ballon, G. Bray, C. Ebberts, and T. Nash. -Ted Nash Senior Rugby Senior rugby this year was overshadowed by the exploits of the bantam rugby team. lt cannot be overlooked however that the senior squad came within three points of winning two cham- pionships, and had one of the strongest and most athletic teams in Selwyn Senior history. Coach Peter Govan tearfully recalls his closest chance yet at winning the seven a side cham- pionship. After stomping both West Island College and L.C.C. by over 20 points our team went into the third and final game a little over-confident. Unfortunately, after two extremely lucky breaks, Bishops College went ahead for a 12-10 win and the championship. Then in fifteen aside action, after the surprise appearance of soon to be back coach Edward Heath, we lost in a championship deciding match by one point to the exceedingly lucky team from L.C.C. vl 1. f S I lf 'K iv, .. x 1 1 ' pk .3 Bantam Rugby f x sj IC. X: ,m' X' 130 W The bantam rugby team this year surpassed even the excellent standard set by the bantam hockey team. They concluded their season by going undefeated in league and exhibition play, scoring 188 points while giving up only 4. This record brought them the Rugby 7's title and the G.M.A.A. 15's rugby Championship. A squad like this obviously produced many stars. This was a well-balanced hard-running teamg and Zyto, Ullmann, G. Drummond, Sephton and MacFarlane consistently scored long gains. But a large measure of credit must also be paid to Delgado, Doyle, Groszman, Mehnert and Zacharkiw for their ball control, a vital aspect of the game. In any season that this much success occurs, the better players are easily recognizable but this year's Bantam team had the good fortune to have many capable substitutes who filled in ad- mirably when inevitable injuries befell some of the stars. Price, Keene, Deleonardis, and Woodall deserve special mention in this category. Most of the players will particularly remember the two perfect one on one tackles performed by Morden to save the teams victory over Lachine. The Bantam 'B' team looked very impressive in its two victories over B.C.S. Beaton, R. Drummond, Von Moltke, and Stevenson provide a great deal of optimism for next year. Track Meet The Annual Track Meet which was held on May 14th at Molson Stadium saw fifteen new records established in various track and field events. All grades of the School are involved in this meet, however, Grades l-3 have their own informal events consisting of potato sack races and similar type contests. Among the new records were those in the 100 metre set by Tony Iton, in the 400 metre by M. Harris ill yrs.J, lan Aitken Q15 yrs.l, and Tony Iton U6 and overjg and the 800 metres by D. Stevenson U5 yearsj. New times also appeared in the 1600 metre race and the 400 metre Senior relay. Individual class winners were I. Blachford, 10 and under: M. Harris, ll years: J. Thomka- Gazdik, 12 years, B. Brydon, 13 yearsg M. Ullmann and D. Eaton, co-champs, l4 years: P. Sader, 15 years. The Victor Ludorum Trophy which is awarded for the best individual performance was garnered by Gregory Thompson. at , 4, , 1-- ,g F 7' '. - '.'..,..f A-.
