STUDE T UN CIL The second year of the Student Council at Selwyn House has proved to be the most productive in its short history. Under the leadership of Mr. Wearing, the Council has been restructured into separate committees composed of elected representatives from each grade. The ten committees are headed by prefects, who take an active role in the Council debates along with the elected representatives. This year's new system has enabled the Council to engage in many new projects. Besides organizing several dances and the Winter Carnival, the Council has implemented vending machines, movie nights, a new wystem of Lost and Found and the formation of a Student Council Constitution. The active role the Council has taken in the various aspects of school life will ensure its existence as an important institution at Selwyn House. PREFECTS With great pride, the Head- master announced this year's Prefects at the beginning of the school year. They were elected by the Grade ll's and the staff. Those chosen to lead the school were Thomas Antony, Derek Eaton, Thomas Hood, John Kelly, Tom MacFarlane, james Soutar, Nicholas Tingley and Probal Lala as Head Prcfect. The Prefects received ties and pins represen- tative of their position as heads of the school, as well as repeating an Oath of Office. They were directly involved with various aspects of school life, including being actively involved with the Student Council,

HEA MASTER' MESSAGE In these pages last year I spoke to you about deeds and their importance. This year I would like to reflect on some deeds which have taken place here at Selwyn House. We have made strides. And toward what end? When I arrived at Selwyn House, I was struck by the degree of tension, stress, and rush which seemed to overwhelm the School. The day I accepted the position as Headmaster, I vowed to work at eliminating this condition. With the help and co-operation of many people, we have begun to change. I can see it in daily life, in the look on people's faces, in the behavior of the students and staff. To be productive need not result in frenzy. To make progress, one doesn't have to be frantic. Wordsworth speaks of poetry which takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility . I doubt that we shall ever enjoy tranquility here at the School, but I look forward to the continued efforts we are making to slow the pace and to use our time and strengths more effectively. Every day I am gratgeful to be here at Selwyn House. lt is a pleasure to work with such a dedicated staff and such enthusiastic students. Each person contributes through his or her deeds, all of us reap the benefits. To those boys who graduate from the School this year I extend my personal congratulations and best wishes in your continued education and adventures elsewhere. . Robert Manion
