Our New School The Board of Governors is pleased to announce that satisfactory arrangements have been completed to enable the School to purchase the Westmount Senior High School Building at the corner of Cote St. Antoine Road and Argyle Avenue. The new school building is in excellent condition and will provide all the necessary facilities for Selwyn House to operate efficiently, once kitchen and dining-room arrangements have been made. The facilities include 15 large bright classrooms, a library, laboratories and a first-class gymnasium. The school playground is nearly four times the size of our present one on Redpath Street. The Board feels confident that, with the advantage of a large gymnasium and the privileges of the playing fields and other sports facilities of the City of Westmount, we will be able to offer a very satisfactory sports programme. The Board received three sealed offers through responsible real-estate agencies, the most attractive one being that submitted by McGill University. At a meeting of the Board of Governors, held at the School on Thursday, April 27th, 1961, a resolution was passed, accepting this offer from McGill. It is felt that the Parents and the Members of the Old Boys' Association will be delighted to know that the old School will be used by McGill University, and that our investment in recent additions and improvements to the old building will be put to good service in the cause of advanced education. Our plan, therefore, is to move to the new school during the summer and be ready to operate by the beginning of the 1961-62 school session in September. The School will not add any new grades this first year, but it is our intention to start a 10th Grade lVl Forml in the Fall of 1962, followed by an 11th Grade lVll Forml in the Fall of 1963. Thus our first Junior Matriculation class will graduate in the Spring of 1964. lt is also intended that we will eventually bring our boys up to Senior Matriculation. The Board is confident that the decision taken will not only be of immense benefit to Selwyn House School, but will also provide an invaluable contribution to the community as a whole in having another independent Boys' School proceeding to Matriculation level. J. G. BOURNE, Chairman, Board of Governors.
