FOR 'INHI-I SCHOOL YEAR 1053-1054 FORMS C .-XXI? D S'I'.'XFF We were very distressed to learn of Mr. Mayer's illness and most dis- appointed that he was unable to return to Selwyn House last September. This disappointment deepened to real sorrow when it was announced that on medical advice he had decided to remain in England and sever his connection with our school. XYe shall all miss him very greatly, especially in the production of plays, in which sphere he had distinguished himself most particularly during his years at Selwyn House. One and all, we would wish him a speedy recovery to good health and every happiness in the future. Mr. john P. Bury, M..-X., a graduate of Durham University, England, and a recent arrival in Canada, joined the Staff in September to take Mr. Mayer's place. XVe do hope that his year with us has been a happy one and we wish him all success as he goes from us. Our congratulations to Mr. Howes on his recent marriage, and to Mr, Davies and Mr. Mingie on the cheerful little bundles of voluble humanity which have recently joined their households. Greetings to all their former students at Selwyn House come from Miss Snead and Mr. Perkins, and visits from Mr. Howis are keenly enjoyed by Staff and boys alike. Old Boys' will recall Miss Bruce, who has also paid us periodic visits during the past few years. To all four former luminaries of Selwyn House we send our best wishes. l17l
