R THE SCHOOL YEAR 1968-1969 mr! A0111 die Clfmirmarz lt has often been said that bricks and mortar alone cannot make a good school. While this remains as true as it ever was, this issue of the magazine would not be complete without recognition of the landmark in school facilities that was established in i968 - 1969. By now most readers are familiar with the substantial additions and changes to the school property to which I refer. Perhaps not all realize how much personal sacrifice was required to achieve these results, and this is an impersonal age. To the many boys who will be back this September and many Septembers after that I say: Use the new facilities - learn in themg live in themp laugh in them. By doing all three in proper proportion you will be giving those who contributed to the Expansion Fund the nicest thanks they could ask for. David M. Culver S.H.S. Expansion Fund Target: S500,000.00 Status Us of 23rd May, 1969 Cash received: 52531009 Pledges: 17Q,Q0O Still to be raised: 63,000

10 if M SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Board and Staff The Board of Governors were very sorry indeed to lose the valuable services of Mr. W. G. Buchanan on moving to England. Mr. Buchanan had served with great keenness for a number of years and had interested himself in many facets of the school administration, and his wise counsel will be greatly missed. Mr. Kenneth S. Howard, Q.C., and Mrs, John N. Mappin have been most welcome additions this year and we look forward to profiting happily from their contribution to the successful ongoing of the school. As Staff replacements in September we wel- comed Mr, I. F. G. Ferguson, a graduate of Cam- bridge University, Mr. D. N. McRae retired prin- cipal of Westmount Park School, who returned to the classroom to teach senior history on a part-time basis, Mr. Eric H. Rumsby, a graduate of Sir George Williams University and a French Spe- cialist, Mr. Leigh I. Seville who holds a teaching diploma from Macdonald College, and Mr. E. D. Taylor, a graduate of McGill. Mr. A. l. Moss- Davies returned to us after completing his Master's Degree at the University of Massachussetts. We regret to record that several members of the Staff will be leaving Selwyn House this June. Col. E, Geoffrey Brine's departure will be a sore loss indeed, Colonel Brine has played a major role in the school expansion which followed our move from the downtown location as Director of Middle School Studies. Col. Brine had a distinguished background of military and educational experience before joining us in September, 1962. Born in England and educated at Berkhampstead School and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, he was com- missioned in the Royal Artillery and served with the Italian Expedition Force in World War I. He later saw service in the Waziristan campaign, and served with the Royal Canadian Artillery in World War 2. He taught at the Grove, Lakefield, Ontario and Hillfield School, Hamilton, as well as at Ashbury College, Ottawa, From 1952 to 1962 he was headmaster of the Preparatory School of Bishop's College School, Lennoxville. We at Selwyn House have been most fortunate to enjoy the privilege of his wide experience, his deep understanding of boys and his great enthu- siasm and teaching ability, and the impress of his character on all the boys who have passed through his hands will be a treasure of enduring value. Our deepest thanks to Colonel Brine and our best wishes to him and to his wife for many years of happy and fruitful retirement - with the hope that we may see much of them both on their visits to Montreal from their Vermont retreat. Also leaving at this time are Madame Janine Dorland, Mr. Moss-Davies and Mr. Jeremy Riley. Madame Dorland has been with us for eleven years in charge of Junior French. Her two sons, Michel and Philippe, are graduates of Selwyn House, Madame Dorland has accepted a position as French Specialist in the newly established Dawson College. We extend to her our thanks for all she has contributed to the Junior School over the years and wish her every success in the new and challenging CEGEP world. Mr. Moss-Davies has accepted the position of Director of Education at the Shawbridge Boys' Farm, and Mr. Riley is returning to the university world for post-graduate studies. To both these gentlemen we express our appreciation for their contribution to the school, Mr. Riley over the past two years, and Mr. Moss-Davies for his services of 1966-67 and the present academic year. Good luck to them for all future success. Coxuufg M'l.I1l'
