HEADMASTER'S MESSAGE As I write in the middle of my first week at Selwyn House this will reflect more my hopes for the school than any analysis of the year so far. I have been warmly welcomed and have been to feel at home very quickly. Students and Staff have gone out of their way to greet me. This courtesy done, however, they rapidly return with purpose to the more important tasks of their exceedingly full day. Selwyn House is an important school in an important place in Canada. One of its aims is to educate thoroughly and broadly while keeping foremost the purpose of sound academic training. Already I have begun to see how hard the community works at succeeding in achieving that goal. My hope for this School is to help it retain the values and traditions for which it has long stood while seeing it grow in response to its need to remain responsible and responsive to its constituencies. If in growing a school can engender an atmosphere where students and Staff can work effectively to establish such a responsible atmosphere, the School can go on to success after success. The students will have fulfilled their responsibilities by doing their best honestly in a spirit of con- sideration and co-operation. The Staff, both teaching and administrative, will have fulfilled their responsibilities by winning the respect of the School community through their ability and keenness. It is for the School's achieving its aims that others will seek it out. Then the School can provide the leadership required of those who succeed. The School must be prepared for the scrutiny of those outside the School. If the outsiders perceive the excellence within, they will be willing to support the perpetuation of the responsible role Selwyn House should play in the society it serves. William Mitchell
