Sl'fl.lYYX H0l'Sli SCHOOL M.Xf..XllNli Staff MISS .XFRX SNli.XlJ News ol Miss Snead's illness on 'l'hanks-giving week-end caused great concern to us all, but it was not until some weeks later that we realized that her state ol health would not permit her to resume her teaching, activities again at Selwyn House. lt was hard to realize the school without Miss Snead, who had been so much a part of it, and contributed so generously- of herself to it for the past thirty years. With her valuable background ol the London .Xcadeniy ol Music and the West Norwood Institute ol Training, Miss Snead brought to her duties at Selwyn House in 1920 those qualities ol' thoroughness, patience and technical skill, which were to characterize and colour her teaching down through the years. With that kindly humanity which always shone through, even in moments ol necessary firmness -H in dealing with recalcitrant youth, she endeared herself to three decades of Canadian boys and did much to inculcate those qualities ol loyalty, lair dealing and appreciation of things good, true and lovely, that she herself showed in her own daily life. ln l!lfl7 Miss Snead was appointed Head Mistress of our Junior School and the many scholastic honours ol' Sixth Form Boys and of Old Boys of the school have undoubtedly been due, in large degree, to the sound foundation laid in the basic subjects under her experienced direction. And for many years to come-both in the senior school and beyond -our boys will reap the harvest of her untiring efforts. lVe have all been delighted that Miss Snead's recovery has been steady and rapid. and now, as she retires lroni her arduous and responsible labours. we would extend to her f in the name ol a veritable host ol' friends - not only our deep thanks lor a task supremely well done but also our best wishes lor many years of happiness and improved health in her well-earned leisure. NEW' MEMBERS Xlle were pleased to welcome two new members to our Staff this year, in the persons ol Mr. R. L. M. Picard and Mr. li. C. Mootley. Mr. Picard, a graduate of Mcflill and London Universities, taught lor some years under the Montreal Protestant Sthool lioard, and Mr. Moodey, Sanbrooke Scholar at the University' of London, was llul
