, ., S lmliliz . R li Z tm: 85146159 1-f .Lvq L I Editorial The i962-63 season has been a time of great change and expansion for Selwyn House. Besides being our second year in the new building, it has seen such new additions to the programme as an increased schedule of dramatics, an extra curricular Russian class, the reinstitution of manual training and our first eleventh grade. Next year there is a promise of a Rugby team as a possible forerunner to Canadian football. The staff has been fortunate in the addition of Colonel Brine, Mr. Vintcent and Mrs. Haughland this year and, some of the older boys will be glad to hear, that Mr. Rutley will be back next season after a four year's absence. lt is with dismay, however, that we learn that Mr. Blaiklock will be leaving us, we do hope to see him again soon. At this time we would like to express our gratitude to the staff and board of Selwyn House for its prolonged efforts to bring us through to matriculation. We all feel certain that no matter how much Selwyn House expands, it will always be recognizable as the same school. At the time of going to press we learn with regret that Mrs. Howis, Mrs. Clarke and Miss Tedcl are leaving the school. We thank them for their valuable work on behalf of Selwyn House School and wish them God's speed. GZ
