12 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Board The Board of Governors accepted with deep regret the rcsignations of Mrs. Roy Hastings. Mr. William Molson and Mr. Michael Scott. Mrs. Hastings joined the Board in 1965 and has been most active. giving unremittingly ot' her time and talents in supporting all projects. espe- cially in the Expansion Campaign. Mr. Scott has been on the Board since 1966. was the first Chairman of the Education Committee of the Board which analysed our curricular programme and held most valuable sessions with various departments of the school. Mr. Molson has served the school with enthusiasm and loyalty for eight years. He was particularly helpful to us as Chairman of the Sports Committee. and for the past two years has been Vice-Chairman of the Board. We are happy to think that the help and advice of all three will still be available to us as they have always been most interested in all aspects of Selwyn Houses welfare, We are very happy to welcome in their stead Mrs. Victor Goldbloom. Mr. Charles W. Peters and Mr. John J. Shannon and are looking forward to a very happy and fruitful association with them in the work of the school. We were most delighted to welcome Mr. James E. Iversen back from his sabbatical year as Assistant- Headmaster of Selwyn House. In this important capa- city he has made a most valuable contribution in his contacts at all levels - in his rapport with students. with staff, with parents and with educational and other offi- cials beyond our walls. We were pleased. too. to have Mr. J. P. Martin succeed Col. E. G. Brine as Director of Middle School Studies. and congratulate him also on the excellent way in which he has handled this administra- tive department. As staff replacements in September we were happy to welcome Mrs. Elisabeth Walker and Mrs. Roslyn L. Adair to the Junior School and Mr. William P. Stewart and Mr. James R. Varey to the Middle school. Mrs. J. Ronsley has been with us on a part-time basis through- out the year and we have been grateful to her for her valuable help. Our thanks are due also to Mrs. R. T. Hall and Mr. Robert Defries for so cheerfully helping us out in the classroom during staff absences. We regret to record that several members of the staff will be leaving us this spring. Two most valuable mem- bers of the Ofiice Staff will be retiring. Miss Frances H. Gault has been at Selwyn House since August, 1952. Her devotion and loyalty to the school are legendary and Staff and her contribution to Selwyn House, not only in the never-ending work of every-day but in all the personal help she has so cheerfully rendered boys, parents, staff and the outside world in a myriad of circumstances has been most remarkable. She will be greatly missed by us all. Mrs. Ella L. Smart came to us in 1959 as school book- keeper. During the years of rapid change and expansion she has built up a department noted for its unfailing accuracy and competence and we are under a great debt of gratitude to her for her wonderful skill and precision. To both these senior members of our administrative staff we would accord the school's thanks and every good wish for all good health and happiness in the years ahead. with a most cordial desire to see them back with us as often as they can visit the school. Also leaving us from the permanent staff are Mrs. Sut- ton. Mr. Peter Ashworth and Mr. Larry Eldridge. Mrs. Sutton came to us in l96l and from the first endeared herself greatly to the boys of the Junior School. A brilliant artist herself she built up an art-room environment second to none. and her encouragement and enthusiasm as well as skilful and inspired teaching have been a source of tremendous satisfaction to us all. Mr. Ashworth has been at Selwyn House for five years as Physics Master-the foundation work that he laid in that departmenthas been of first-class calibre-and indeed the new lab is of his design- ing-but his tremendous drive and vision as well as his desire to have his students widen their scientific horizons have been responsible for a heart-warming enrichment of his academic programme. whilst his special groups in- terested in electronics. his visits to industrial and other plants. and his willingness to help in so many of the extra- curricular projects of the students. all bear testimony to a noteworthy and most diversified experience at Selwyn House. We wish for him every continuing success as he goes on full-time academic courses at university. Mr. Larry Eldridge has been with us for three years and has made a notable contribution to the track and field and the gymnastic work of the school. His coaching in Senior football and in basketball. which he developed since the new gymnasium was available, was outstanding and our track and field participation in the G. M. I. A. A. circuit has been most rewarding. We would pass on our thanks and best wishes for all success to him as he takes on his new responsibilities as Recreation Director of the Cha- teauguay Center. MISS FRANCES H. GAULT
