FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1970-1971 11 MR. TROUBETZKOY :wx .lag New Headmaster Alexis Troubetzkoy The Governors of Selwyn House Association have invited Mr. Alexis S. Troubetzkoy to become Head- master and is now pleased to say that he has accepted his invitation to succeed Dr. Robert Speirs who retires this summer after being Headmaster of the School for twenty six years. We believe Mr. Troubetzkoy will bring to Selwyn House fine personal qualities and extensive experience. While he was born in Paris. his family moved shortly afterwards to the United States and on graduating from Kent School. Connecticut in 1953, he moved to Canada and subsequently graduated from Sir George Williams University. His teaching appointments have been at Stanstead College. Bishops College School, St. Stephen's School in Rome where he was assistant to the Headmaster. and for the past two and one-half years he has been the Registrar at Appleby College. Currently he is a coach of basketball and tennis and while his subject is history. he is a capable linguist with a fluency in French. Russian and Italian. While the Governors are convinced Mr. Troubetzkoy has a high regard for the School's standards and tradi- tions. they are also satisfied that through his leadership useful innovations will come about in and out of the classroom.
