Selwyn House School - Yearbook (Montreal, Quebec Canada)

Page 9 text:

EDITOR'S MESSAGE The making of a yearbook is comparable to putting together the mechanism of a watch. Unless each part fits precisely, the watch will not work, and a yearbook has to work . But the creation of this book does not involve so much the mechanism itself as it does individual contribution to that mechanism. Everyone associated with Selwyn House School must look upon this book as a production ofthe whole school body itself. The yearbook staff merely brings everything together- the results of sports teams, the activities of interest groups, everything. Our first aims this year were speed and efficiency, but more important. the maintaining of the fine tradition of this book, indicated by the enthusiastic approach of so many to join our production. This year. something new was added. Primarily through the efforts of Messrs. Reid, Burgess, and Martin and a knot of students, a new darkroom was built, aiding the yearbook in the speed and quality of production. In mid-year, when enthusiasm generally falters, the continuous and almost automatic motivation by the guys did not fail to impress. And when one can step back from production and still witness this, it certainly reveals the pride students and staff have for the school. Those of you who are slightly critical of any late arrival of SELWYN HOUSE '78 must remember that, one day in the future, this yearbook will become, for all ofyou, a kind of timepiece once again. ticking off the memories of an entire year.

y nr HEADMASTER'S MESSAGE 1978 Each june at Prize Day, we resume the events ofthe year and extend recognition not only to those who have achieved outstanding academic results but also to those who have significantly contributed to the year's extracurricular activities. Because the substantial part of the Yearbook work gets done AFTER Prize Day, official recognition is never properly given to the Yearbook Staff. Over the past few years. the Selwyn House Yearbook has developed into a high-quality production in which each member of our community may justly take pride. Not infre- quently have individuals outside the School commented to me on the Book's distinctive format, overall attractiveness and good taste. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who have so conscientiously, quietly and efficiently given of their talents and time to the Selwyn House Yearbook. To Mr. Warren Reid QStaff Advisorj, to this year's Editorial Staff, to past Editors - Larry Karass - 72, Clive Hooton - '73, Dev Sainani - '74, Greer Phillips - '75, Richard Small- '76, Peter Oliver and Stephen Scott - '77 4 and to the many others: your tremendous work is greatly appreciated! Thanks from all of us! 1Qr4fl'4.w,o.d3lf+fl A.S. Troubetzkoy Headmaster
