lO SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Board and Staff With the extension of numbers on the Board of Direc- tors from twelve to fifteen we were very happy to wel- come as new members Mr. Edward Ballon. Mr. Walter S. Cottingham and Professor Svenn Orvig. Mr. Ballon and Mr. Cottingham are Old Boys of the school and Dr. Orvig has had two sons at the school for a number of years. All three bring a wide experience in the administrative field to our Board and we are looking forward to a very happy and mutually profitable association. We regret that Mr. Charles W. Peters has had to with- draw because of pressure of work but we hope that in the future he may find additional time to add a further con- tribution to his school. As staff replacements in administration we were happy to welcome Mrs. Violet M. Dagneau. Miss Mary Scott and Mr. T. H. Irwin Roberts - the first two in the main office and Mr. Roberts as Bursar of the school. On the academic side we welcomed in September Mrs. Ellen Pinchuk and Miss Martha Wood to the Junior School, Mr. Andrew MacDonald to the Physical Educa- tion Department and Mr. Norman Lewis as Physics specialist. We were grateful to Mr. G. E. D. Lane and Mr. Dren- nan Hincks for their help in the class-room during Mr. McLean's illness. We regret to record that several members of the staff will be leaving us this Spring. Miss Ethel L. Pick has been Librarian of the school since 1957 and has not only seen the big change from the old school to the new but also worked through the tremendous transformation years when literally thousands of additional books for senior students were introduced into our shelves. We have been most grateful to her for the personalised attention that she has always so cheerfully and competently rendered to boys of all ages, as well as to her colleagues on the staff whose great diversity of projects have involved the Li- brary increasingly from year to year. We extend our grateful thanks to Miss Pick for all her fine work and our best wishes for the future. in her well-eamed retriment. Mr. Todd H. Becker came to Selwyn House in 1965 with a background of administration and class-room ex- perience which have proved of great value to us at Selwyn House. He early interested himself in the developing sports programme of the school. particularly at the early teen level where his outstanding coaching was put to full use and produced excellent teams in soccer. hockey and softball - a number of which went undefeated throughout the entire season. His skill in teaching. mainly in English. History and his training in special Reading and Compre- hension Skills proved invaluable at the highly critical areas of pre-High school and the Junior High school levels. Mr. Ian F. G. Ferguson entered Selwyn House in l968 and has specialized mainly in History up to and including Grade 9 level. His encyclopaedic knowl- edge of so many areas of History involving such a vast array of time and countries has added an enrichment of the course of studies for his various classes. His interests in other activities of the school and particularly the Chess Club has been greatly appreciated. We are sorry to see these two distinguished members of our academic staff leaving us at this time but we would like to thank them for the extra things they have given to us and wish them every success as they leave for other fields of endeavour. Mr. David M. Culver Mr. David M. Culver stepped down from the Chair- manship of the Board after the Graduation last June. During his tenure of ofiice. first as Treasurer and after- wards as Chairman. he played an outstanding role in the mammoth campaign which heralded the big addition to the school of 1968 - an addition that brought such an in- crease of facilities to Selwyn House School in doubling the size of the Gym as well as of the library and the labs and brought locker-rooms and extra classrooms. as well as an art room and a Geography lab to enhance our school. Our profound thanks go to Mr. Culver for his wonderful leadership, and our best wishes to Mr. Robert C. Paterson. who succeeded him as Chairman.
