He can often be found buried behind a small piece ofthe newspaper, interrupting classes to ask, Sir, what's a four-letter word for a Himalayan gazelle? Besides this, Hugh has also proved a menace to all on the win- ter ski slopes, especially during School ski trips. However, with his Latin experience behind him, don't be startled one day if you find him leading guided tours ofthe Roman catacombs! FRANCESCO YARUR Although it's hard to believe. Frank claims he is 5 ' l . . . on his tip-toes. Known as Little Big Man or more simply and personally as HEY SPlC , Frank continually amazed his teachers with his vast knowledge of Physics and MARIA CHAPDELAINE We all know French was his favourite subject and all shared in his considerable dis- appointment when he did not win Distinction in French. Although he is not noted for establishing school records, he does hold a unique one: he is the only boy to have received a parking ticket while paying for another one in the bank .... We would like to wish him future success but that seems assured, seeing that he is a confirmed member of the Spanish Mafia. THE PREFECTS' CLUB s t :Mt aaa,

All five, have contributed significantly to the spirit and daily life of Selwyn House. Mr. Kerry Martin has been at the school for four years, teaching geography, history, and science. In his own way, Mr. Martin has developed a sense of camara- derie with the students. A firm believer in this as necessary for effective teaching, he has been a symbol of enthusiastic effervescence to both boys and staff, con- cerned not only with the quality oflearning but also with the welfare of the stu- dents themselves. Famous for his indestructible flashing smile. he keeps an open mind on all subjects-- particularly to multiple choice question answers-- and can often be seen just chatting with students in the hallways. Next year, he moves on to Ridley College, a boarding school in St. Catherines, Ontario. Mme. Natalie Miloradovitch, also a four year veteran, has added a unique per- sonal flavour to Selwyn's French department. Polylingual, and a provincial exami- ner in German, Mme. Miloradovitch has been able to combine a strict sense of discipline with the fullest enthusiasm and encouragement for her students' progress, and, as the only Senior School teacher of the opposite sex , has enjoyed in turn the popularity with and the affection of the boys. Mr. Adrien Hotz, at the School since the fall of 1973, has also made a major contribution, not only to the growth and development of the French department but also to the teacher-student relationship on general. Also polylingual and a man of diverse interests, Mr. Hotz introduced the famous game of backgammon to the students as an activity group, and its resulting popularity has led to after-lunch games in classrooms--and the exchange ofhigh wagers on the fall of the dice. He has also supervised, with Mr. Fowler, the Computer Club established in 1974. Mr. john O'Flynn has been a member of Selwyn's teaching staff for three years, instructing in the History and English departments. A dedicated teacher, Mr. O'Flynn, with his wit and patience, has helped to forge, principally among Middle School boys, a large part of the spirit of Selwyn House today. An archaeologist at heart, his favourite subject is Ancient History, a new option introduced to Grade 11 in 1973. Mr. O'Flynn has directed this year's Chess Club for both Middle and Senior School boys. Next year he will be teaching at Dawson College. Mr. Kenneth Fowler, Head of the Mathematics department for the past two years, has consistently devoted himself to further raising Selwyn's academic stan- dards. A strong proponent of good teacher-student relationships as the key to learning, he has always been ready to give more attention to a struggling student. Mr. Fowler has also involved himself in many student activities, ranging from per- formances at Drama Nights--he is an accomplished actor-tojoining the Indians in wild dance at Contact '76. An engineer, he took charge of the Computer Club and had been planning to introduce a Calculus course to Grade 11. We wish the very best to all of these good friends in their future years, and hope they will cherish the memories of the Selwyn boys they taught during their tenures at the School. ,J Mme. Miloradovitch Mr. O'Flynn
