FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1945-1946 A hearty vote of thanks is due to Mr. Jackson, on his relinquishing the work of the magazine, for his many years of outstanding service as editor. It is gratifying to all that he has consented to continue to look after the Old Boys' Notes f always one of the most interesting sections of the magazine. We are indebted to him, also, for his line personal tribute to Mr. Wlanstall- who more Fitted to pen it than C.R.J., who knew him so well ? VVelcomed to the school last September were three new members of the Stall'- Mme. Gyger, Mr. Lester Perkins and Mr. K. Kent-Barber. Mme. Gyger holds a Brevet Superieur from France and has had many years experience in matriculation French teach- ing, and we have been most appreciative of her work and interest in the school, which ex- tended to the production of two excellent French playlets for the Christmas entertain- ment. Mr. Perkins was formerly Principal ol'Sawyerville High School, and has taken charge of games and the Scouts and Cubs of the School. The change in this latter department, particularly, has been phenomenal and the Cubs have reached astronomical proportions in numbers, due to Mr. Perkins' keenness and efficiency. In this work he has been great- ly helped by Mr. Kent-Barber, who came to us from St. Georgels School, Vanccuver. hir. Kent-Barber devoted a great deal of time and enthusiasm to producing Dickens' Christmas Carol in dramatic form, and it was a cruel chance which laid low, with grippe, most ofhis cast,-iust when he was putting the finishing touches to an excellent production. We regret to note that Mr. Kent-Barber will be leaving us at the close of the current ses- sion- the best wishes of Selwyn House School will go with him for future success. It will be a pleasure to see Mr. Gordon Phillips back on the Staljri ol' the School next September, after a year spent teaching at Lake-field, Hamilton. Mr. Phillips was for many years in charge ol' games at Selwyn House, and will resume that responsibility on his return. MR. PATRIC K ANDERSON There will be widespread regret amongst all friends of the School to learn that Mr. Anderson has decided to leave Selwyn House to devote his energies exclusively to writ- ing, where he has already shown such marked talent as a poet in A Tent for April and The VVhite Centre. The School's loss will be Canada's gain, but it will be hard for us to say more than :Xu Revoir to one who has contributed so much to the life of the School since his appointment in 19-LO as head of the English department. Boys and Staff will miss him greatlyehis keen, penetrating insight into things, his quiet humour and his kindly spirit of camaraderie, as well as his genius for clear-cut interpretation and de- finition in his class work, but above all his love of youth with all its questionings and en- thusiasms- these qualities have endeared him to us over the years, and we find it hard to let him go. But we would wish him God-speed and every success in his chosen field of contribution to the VVorld and we hope that we may see him at Selwyn on his frequent visits to the city from St. Sauveur in days to come. l17l
