FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1965-1966 11 Board and Staff We were very sorry indeed that Mrs. A. lan Matheson and Mr. Allan G. Magee decided to retire from the Board of Governors in October. Both have given most zealously and enthusiastically of their abundant talents to the many facets of school administration and we have all profited greatly from their services and wise counsel. We are happy that Mrs. T. Roy Hastings and Mr. Robert C. Paterson have agreed to serve on the Board, and both have already undertaken special duties, Mr. Paterson as Hon. Treasurer of the Board. We welcomed a number of new members of the Staff in September, and all have entered with great keenness on class-room and extra-curricular activities - the French department has been enriched by Mr. Fritz Ankum, the Science by Mr. R. P. Meldrum and Mr. Peter F. Ashworth, the History by Mr. John A. Messenger, the Gym by Mr. A. Moss-Davies, and the English and Maths by Mr. Todson H. Becker, Mr. James K. McLean and Mr. Hugh Spencer. During Mr. McLean's long convalescence from a serious automobile accident Mr. Kenneth Ward acted as supply teacher, as did also Mr. Robert Defries during Staff absences in the Fall. We will be very sorry indeed to lose the services of Mr. Michael E. Sherwood after three years' enthusiastic teaching and coaching at Selwyn House. His dyna- mic leadership on the football field with the bantams, on the hockey rink with the seniors, and on the ski slopes with a ski team which registered a decisive victory in the winning of the Hector Sutherland trophy - all this speaks for itself as an impressive record of driving perseverance, competence and mastery of coaching techniques. These qualities have also left their mark in his successes in classroom Latin and English. Our best wishes go with Mr. Sherwood as he leaves us to undertake his very responsible duties as housemaster ofthe Junior School of Ashbury College, Ottawa.

At the Christmas Entertainment the Carols were sung from the gallery for the first time instead of from the floor or the platform. It was generally agreed that the Choirs were heard to better effect as a result. lt is hoped that it may be possible for the Choir to sing regularly from the gallery at morning assembly. The Special Choir, composed basically of soloists, was invited to sing on the Tween Set television programme on Tuesday, April 'l2th. Three numbers from the Sound of Music were sung, with David Craig and Andrew Culver as leading
