Selwyn House School - Yearbook (Montreal, Quebec Canada)

Page 9 text:

Editorial Change can be, and usually is quite a standard theme for Yearbooks. In viewing the year in retrospect one never fails to find that the school in question has undergone some form of metamorphosisg Selwyn House has been no differ- ent. These changes have been in abundance for two out- standing reasonsg the first, being the change in admini- stration in the person of Mr. Troubetzkoyg and the second, possibly less apparent, yet l feel, equally important - an atmosphere more accessible and conducive to change. Publications like this Yearbook never fail to be in- fluenced by the school's environment. Thus, you will note that the content as well as the format which presents it, differs at times greatly with that of its predecessorsg but then again so do the thoughts, lifestyles, and convictions of the student body this Yearbook represents. I have said that the school has undergone change, but this is not to say that it does not need more, some major, some trivial. Hopefully they will be made, because this school exists for the benefit of the students. l hope that it will glean, and ultimately realize some of those needed changes requested by the student voice. Unfortunately, this Yearbook is not an effort of the entire student body, but 1 do hope that it is evocative of its emotions and sentiments. I would like to feel that the Yearbook staff, as well as the rest of the school likes itg for it is manifest as an allusive record of a year's passing in our lives. Larry Karass. Jim Locke.

To maintain and strengthen the reputation of excellence for which this School is noted presents an even more demanding challenge. And for the boys and staff of any school, the appointment of a new Headmaster can be as traumatic a change as any.

The change this year has not necessarily been easy for us all. As I write these words, toward the mid-December deadline assigned by the Editors, I wish to take the opportunity to thank the boys and staff for the co-operation, understanding and patience by which they so greatly assisted in making the transition period smooth and simple. ln articular m ' thanks to to man ' of the members of the raduatin class for their assistance and counsel.
