Selwyn House School - Yearbook (Montreal, Quebec Canada)

EDITORIAL Now that it's done, so glad we've won! A lot of kudos must go to my contributors who helped to fill the pages of this yearbook. Why a yearbook? It is a time for stock-taking for all, and a time for nostalgia for a year that is the final one for the graduating class. Let us hope these pages will bring back some of the magic moments, be it sports, drama or activities un- dertaken during 1973-74. It has been a fulsome year. It is hard to find new ideas to write about when school traditions rarely change from year to year. However, it is the players that make the game and in spite of a yearbook staff like ours, we have managed to introduce a few innovations, such as the informal grad pictures. My five years at Selwyn House have held many memories and I am sure that I shall miss the school when I leave. Nevertheless, all good things must come to an end. For those who are still here, take my advice, and sit back and enjoy yourselves. To my fellow grads, to the editorial staff, to the masters of Selwyn House and to all those who helped in bringing out the yearbook I can only say in the words of Walter Savage Landor: I know not whether our names will be immortalg I am sure our friendship will.

MR. E.C. MOODEY, ESQ. Selwyn House has been blessed over the past sixty-six exciting years with some very distinguished teachers, but Mr. Moodey is one of a most select few who have become a veritable legend in their own lifetime of devoted service. Older graduates will recall his magnificent soc- cer refereeing, when he would race faster than they across the playing field, or wield a massive bat-he was an outstanding Cricketer-in titanic struggles with the boys he coached so well. And who could forget the iridescent comedies of school life he wrote and produced each year with such bubbling humour and subtle understanding which had adults and youth alike rolling in the aisles in helpless mirth. But both former and present students and staff envisage him always as a born school-master and administrator, cultivated and accomplished, with an encyclopedic knowledge which begins with books and ends with life itself. By his kindly, V-8 penetrating insight into human nature, his strict, undeviating code of personal and professional in- tegrity, and his profound loyalty to the cause and school which he has served so notably for a quar- ter of a century, he has made an indelible impact for good upon the lives of thousands of malleable souls, who would like, through these pages, to pay him heartfelt homage with a simple and sincere, Thank you, sir. And now to lVlr. lvloodey, as he seeks the golden leisure of retirement that he has to richly merited, as well as to his charming whife, who also over so many years of dedicated service helped so graciously and so effectively to enshrine in the rising generation of the eternal values and verities which constitute the soul of Selwyn House-to both these wonderful friends we would extend from thankful hearts the best of good wishes for every blessing and happiness in the years that lie ahead. Dieu vous garde, Dieu vous benisse-toujours.
