r N4 fl f '-1 59110115 - Q i' . - Editorial With the season of 1964 Selwyn House has come to the end of its transition period. It now has classes from first to eleventh grade, complete laboratory facilities and a greatly expanded sports programme, all of which is administered by an enlarged and very excellent staff. It is very hard to believe that only three years ago we were a small ninth grade school on Redpath Street. Nearly all of the senior class and most of the older boys will still be able to remember the old building but, of course, an increasing number of the smaller ones have only known Selwyn House as it is to-day. Many of them would probably find it hard to believe that until 1961, the school was a building that was originally an old house, or that for lack of better space, the library was in the dining-room. We have indeed come a long way in three years. This season has been the last year of the change over and has seen a great deal of expansion. The faculty has been increased by six people with the addition of Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Howden to the Junior School and with Mr. Sherwood, Mr. Martin and Mr. E. O. Phillips ioining the Senior School, along with the return of Mr. Rutley, who has been away for four years, as senior physics master. Only one staff member will be leaving next year, Mrs. Gibson who is going to take on the responsibilities of motherhood. She will be replaced by Mrs. Sutton, another former member of the staff from last year. The sports department has also been expanded by two members, Bob Anderson came in the Fall to coach our first football team through a very satis- factory first season and Buddy O'Connor was the coach of our first senior hockey team, they had an equally promising beginning. Sports at Selwyn House have been improved a good deal this year and show potential for even greater improvement in future years. The school has been increasing its scope in other areas too. We sent our first debating team to the McGill High School Tournament where they had a very successful competition. Mr. Lewis has added greatly to out gymnastics by organising a junior gym squad and by sending a team to the Westmount Y.M.C.A. competition, they too had great success. Mr. Rutley has also been working with a group of physicists after school. The number of changes and beginnings that have been made in the past year are amazing, they all combine to make Selwyn House a growing school. On behalf of all the members of the school's first graduating class we would like to leave our best wishes for success to all present and future students of Selwyn House. GGG

FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1963wI96-4 il Board and Staff We would like to express our keen appreciation to Mrs. Robert W. Coristine, who retired this year as ca member of the Board of Governors. Mrs. Coristine has been a tremendous asset on our Board, where her good advice and practical help have been invaluable. We are glad to feel that her interest and enthusiasm for all things of advantage to Selwyn House will continue unabated in the years ahead. We are very pleased indeed to welcome Mrs. A. Blaikie Purvis wife of an Old Boy and mother of two present students, to the Board. New members of the staff last Fall included Mrs. Edith Howden and Mrs. Dorothy Gibson to the Junior School Staff, Mr. John P. Martin, Mr. E. O. Phillips and Mr. M. H. E. Sherwood to the Senior School, and Colonel Ross M. Campbell and Miss Kay Severs to the administrative staff. We were happy to welcome back Mr. Tim Rutley after his sojourn in Japan. We were pleased to have Mrs. Erica Sutton back with us after Easter, and congratulate her on the successful completion of her teaching - training course at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts where her creative talents gained her the highest commendation. Our thanks are due to Mr. Kenneth Murray formerly Guidance Officer of the Montreal Protestant School Board, for his kindness in helping us out as supply-teacher during Colonel Brine's convalescence from an ope- ration. Our congratulations go out to Mr. Moodey on his recent marriage to Mrs. Howis. The best wishes of all at Selwyn House are extended to them for every happiness in the years ahead. Our congratulations and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Iversen on the birth of another son this Spring. Our greetings go out to all former members of the staff who have kept in touch with us over the years - these include Miss Afra Sneed, Mrs. Tester and Miss Tedd in England, Miss Bruce, Mme. Gyger, Mrs. Farquhar, Mrs. Clarke and Miss Locke in Montreal. Mr. Davis is now teaching at Trinity College School, Mr. Blaiklock at St. Paul's in London and Mr. Vintcent at St. Mark's in Dallas, Texas. We were sorry to lose the services of Mrs. Gibson at Easter, and were grateful to her for returning to help out during Mrs. Howden's illness.
