We regret to have to announce the departure from our staflf of the Reverend H. N. Myers, Mr. J. R. Pattisson and Mr. G. Benson. Mr. Myers, who had been with us for five years, accepted an important parish in the north of England and entered upon his new duties in September. We miss him very much, and particularly in our Chapel Services, the music of which he brought to so high a degree of excellence. He was inducted to his living on Oct. 28th, by the Lord Bishop of Wakefield. Mr. J. R. Pattisson, who came to us in September, 1923, has joined the staff of Selwyn House School, Montreal. Mr. Pattisson was an excellent and successful teacher and was always a most loyal member of the Staff. His work here as Sports Master will be long remembered, and under his efficient guidance our various Teams were more than successful . Mr. G. Benson has given up the noble, if arduous, profession of teaching and has joined the Chemical Staff of the Shawinigan Water and Power Company, where he is doing very good work. To all of these three ex-Masters we extend our sincere and hearty wishes for their success and personal happiness.
