FACULTY Rev. R. A. Andrews Reverend Andrews joined the staff of Strathcona School in 1969 as Chaplain, a position he continued when Strathcona and Tweedsmuir coordinated in 1971. During the summer of 1973 Reverend Andrews was appointed to St. Leonard's, Red Deer. With him go our very good wishes. Mrs. Elaine Harasymiw Mrs. Harasymiw also began teaching at Strathcona- Tweedsmuir in 1971. She taught English and Russian to senior classes and acted as librarian in her first year at the school. In 1972, Mrs. Harasymiw became the full-time librarian and was responsible for the development of the library and media centre. We wish Mrs. Harasymiw every success in her new appointment. Miss Beverly Bauer Miss Bauer began teaching at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir in the schooI's inaugural year, 1971. During her three years with us Miss Bauer taught grades two and three and she also acted as assistant coach of the girls' basketball team. A special claim to fame was earned by Miss Bauer when she took up parachute jumping for recreation. Miss Bauer has taken leave of absence to teach in Queensland, Australia. Major Myles Ellissen, Headmaster of Strathcona, 1934 - 1940. lt is with regret that we report the death of Major Ellissen on September 10, 1973. Major Ellissen took over a five year old school, during very difficult times, and with the help of a dedicated group of parents, established Strathcona School for Boys as a small but strong independent school. Major Ellissen moved the school from its Hope Street location to 15th Avenue West, and again, in 1939, moved the school to the larger premises of 1232 Riverdale Avenue where it was to remain for 32 years. Major Ellissen returned to Strathcona in June, 1971, to give the address at the last Closing Exercises. On that occasion he recalled many memories of his years at the school and paid tribute to Dr. McNabb, Dr. Corbett, Mr. E. Harvie and Mrs. K. Sellar. The greatest honour that he had experienced in his lifetime was leading boys and men . A leader and a builder, the work of Myles Ellissen lives on in the boys he educated.
