SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL l MAGAZINE -- Yol. 18. FUR THF SCHOOI, YE.-XR 1945-19-lf. jfnretnurh HE magazine is this year for the first time, I understand, the responsibility of the boys themselves, and I am very pleased to be invited tu write a forewoid. The power of the printed word is proverbial, and I doubt if' even the most prolific writer ever loses the thrill of' seeing a new composition from his pen first appear in print. As in a game the player gets more out of it than the mere spectator, and I am sure that those who have worked on this edition have gained valuable experience and enjoyed their work together. It has been a great privilege to have had a part in establishing Selwyn House on the permanent basis which I believe we can now assume it is. In July last the School was acquired from the heirs of the late Geoffrey YYanstall, and has since been operated by Selwyn House Association under the able direction of- Mr. Robert .-X. Speirs, NI..-X., the new headmaster. His leadership has, I know, been an inspiring one to boys and stafii alike, and your Board has great confidence in the future of the school under his guidance. Yve are hoping soon ta be able to announce a plan for a small gymnasium-assembly hall with additional locker room and work room facilities, for which about half the estimated cost is now available. Due to current building difbculties, its construction this year may not be possible, but the Board hopes that it will not have to be delayed too long. The Association is greatly indebted to the maiy friends of the School who have assisted in its establishment, either by the purchase of bonds or through donations. It recognizes the responsibility of maintaini ig .tn institution which will permit an able teach- ing staff to give the sound type ot' education and training which should be available to young Canadians. Wie are grateful to this staff for their loyalty and devoted work during the past year, and we hcpe that they will feel that they are receiving the kind of' interest and support necessary to enable them to give of their best. The character and reputation of the School is very largely in the hands of the boys, however, and with this in mind the prefect system was inaugurated during the year and the leadership shown by the first to hold ofiice has fully justified this decision, and we look forward to increased participation by the bcys in responsibility for discipline and manners which mean so much to the gocd name of gi school. .f'N :vlvc l Chairman, Selwyn House Association. l5l
