From Moulton Hill

Dear BCS Community,

A highlight of this school year is the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the joining of King’s Hall, Compton (KHC) and Bishop’s College School (BCS). It represents one of many courageous and forwardthinking decisions that have been made during our illustrious 187-year history.

Stewarding a school requires immense dedication and thoughtful consideration, and I applaud the members of both the Association Board and the Foundation Board for the work they do to ensure the sustainability and continued growth of the school.

Another group of individuals that is paramount to the school’s success are

our valued alumni. They carry BCS forward every day through their interactions, their shared experiences, and their connection to the school community. Our alumni network spans many decades and the entire globe, and we are thrilled to keep in touch and organize opportunities for alumni to come together with one another and their BCS family.

One of the silver linings to the recent pandemic is that we began to connect with our parents through weekly Zoom calls. Initially, these calls served the purpose of consulting and informing during challenging and unique times. Our community grew stronger because of it, and the parents’ active contribution to the school made BCS a better place.

Three years later, these calls continue–with parents in different countries and time zones, and whose children are in different forms. Despite these differences, they are united in their support for BCS and represent a dedicated group of parents who enjoy connecting with the school and offering suggestions for improvement.

Lastly, but most importantly, are our students. They come from 40 countries, speak multiple languages, and have different backgrounds, but all share the common belief that BCS is a great school defined by caring adults, an amazing place to make friends, has a campus that provides endless opportunities for learning, and offers a personal journey of growth and self-discovery. They are the leaders

50 YEARS TOGETHER bc S b ULLETIN WINTER 2023 2

of tomorrow and we are fortunate to help them develop during their time on Moulton Hill.

As I conclude my third year at BCS, it continues to be a privilege to serve as Head of School and is something that I am grateful for every day.

Thank you for your trust, confidence, and support. We are stronger because of you.

Kind regards,

ANNIVERSARY EDITION

In the fall of 1972, two schools came together.

Bishop’s College School, established in 1836 and previously an all-boys institution, and King’s Hall, Compton, founded in 1874 for girls, both had long histories of singlegendered education and their own existing traditions. While they weren’t unknown to one another—the two schools regularly organized socials and rumours abound of late-night taxi rides and wall-scaling escapades—merging into one establishment was quite a foreign concept when the idea was initially broached.

But budgets, logistics, and an evolving society dictated this union was the smart decision, and preparations began for the 1972-73 school year to welcome girls onto Moulton Hill.

The question on everyone’s mind: how would these two storied institutions merge to become one of the first co-ed boarding schools in Canada?

As it turns out, quite well. Quite well, indeed.

Throughout the last 50 years, BCS has grown into the school it is today; one of the oldest boarding schools in Canada, with a student body made up of young adults from 40 different countries spanning the globe, who will be our next generation of leaders.

These future BCS alumni are smart, resilient, empathetic, service-oriented, and inclusive. Much like the BCS/KHC union changed the face of education 50 years ago, the graduating classes of BCS will make the world a better place too.

Stroll down memory lane through these next pages as we celebrate the last 50 years, culminating with Homecoming Weekend that kicked off our 50 Years Together celebrations.

“When KHC closed in 1972 and amalgamated with BCS, not many items from the school came to this campus along with the girls.

Up until then, St. James the Less church was a parish church that also happened to be the official chapel for the school. KHC’s chaplain was also the parish priest, the KHC girls made up the entire choir, and KHC students and staff provided most of the funds going into the collection plate every Sunday.

In 1980, when I worked for the BCS Alumni Association, Headmaster John Cowans, BCS’54, and I learned that the church building was suffering from age and becoming expensive to maintain, and there were only six Anglican families left to care for it. Services were only held monthly by a visiting minister. We had the idea of moving the church to the BCS campus to be restored and turned into a museum and a home for the archives. The six families were not completely opposed to the idea but did not feel ready.

Fast forward to 2015—36 years after that meeting! The families could no longer sustain the church, and it had been deconsecrated and was to be sold. Sadly, the building was beyond any chance of relocation and renovation this time around. We did, however, ask for the bell, certain historically relevant and important stained-glass windows, and some of the pews.

The bell was restored in 2016 and one window has been repaired since then, both of which are now housed on campus. The support system for the bell was designed by architect friends of mine and depicts an open book—inspired by the same symbol at the centre of the BCS crest. One page is solid and tells the history of the bell and the church. The other page is hollow and holds the suspended bell.

I understand that this bell—175 years old—will ring on certain important occasions during the school year. It will continue to ring out in exactly the same tone as it did for all those years in Compton, thanks to the donors whose names also appear on the open book’s solid page.

Our hope is that touching the bell might become a new tradition, something students might do for good luck before an exam, for example, and I am honoured to unveil it as part of the newest chapter in the book of KHC and BCS: 50 Years Together.”

The St. James the Less bell now lives in the Quad, and the fully restored McPherson stained-glass windows are on display at one end of the Glass Passage. Combined with the refreshed KHC hallway in the Pattison Science Building, these are all new, highly visible, and telling reminders that KHC is an integral part of today’s student experience. The original KHC uniform, pieced together beautifully from donated items, is also permanently showcased in front of the Peter G. Holt Memorial Library.

Excerpt from the St. James the Less bell unveiling speech by Margot (Graham) Heyerhoff, KHC’69:

Cynthia Drew remembers...

King’s Hall was always a ‘landmark’ in the Compton community and to families in that area. Every Christmas, Miss Adelaide Gillard, Headmistress, would open the school to the community for a Christmas party, Christmas tree, and gifts to all the children. The local community also attended St. James the Less and that included my family. From the time I was a little girl, I attended every Sunday with my brother and my parents. My husband and I were married there, as were my parents and my daughter.

In August 1968, on a Friday afternoon, I drove to King’s Hall, which was only a few miles from my home, and applied for a job. Miss Dorothy Kidd was the Headmistress; she had replaced Miss Gillard, who had recently retired. Little did I know that the current Secretary to the Headmistress had resigned that morning. Miss Kidd interviewed me, and after a lengthy meeting, she asked if I could start work on Monday morning!!! Oh my, a big decision! I discussed it with my family, and they were very supportive, and my 30-year career at KHC—and subsequently BCS—began.

Board members at King’s Hall were always very hands-on and very helpful. If I had a mailing going out to parents or other mailings, board members would come down, sit around the table with me, and help stuff the envelopes, seal them, put on postage, etc. Miss Kidd retired from KHC after a few years, and Miss Mary Morris, Vice Headmistress, assumed the role of Interim Headmistress.

Both King’s Hall and BCS were struggling financially, and with enrolment numbers; therefore, both Boards of Directors decided that the schools should amalgamate (at BCS). John D. Cowans, BCS’54, was appointed as the Director of King’s Hall in the interim and oversaw the preparations for the amalgamation of KHC and BCS. A big task!!! After KHC School Closing in June

1972, the amalgamation process began. A big change was about to take place! Girls coming to an all-boys school!!!

John Cowans asked me to come to BCS and become the School Secretary there. Muriel Miltimore was the Accountant at KHC, and she was asked to come to BCS as well. Muriel was an experienced accountant/administrator; I was a novice!! She mentored and guided me in so many ways. I am very grateful to her for her compassion and wisdom.

There were boxes and files wall to wall in my office. I didn’t even know there was a fireplace in the office for months. There were no computers in that era! I had a manual typewriter and a hand-operated printing Gestetner!! Typing errors were removed with liquid paper or removal tape!!! We had great teamwork!! It was trial and error in the beginning. We all had to work together—just like a family. We taught respect and many nurtured the system to make it work. The first BCS/KHC co-ed school opened, and the rest is history! I so enjoyed every day of my 30 years at KHC and BCS (1968 – 1998) and with the Heads of School:

Miss Kidd (KHC)

Miss Morris (KHC)

John Cowans, BCS’54 (KHC and BCS)

David Cruickshank (BCS)

Robert Ross (BCS)

Nancy Layton (BCS)

The construction of a new girls’ residence, Gillard House, began. Lots of construction going on during that late summer getting ready for the opening of a new co-ed School!!! Lots of noise everywhere!!! Glass House was renovated and used to accommodate the girls in the meantime. John had set up an administrative plan, and we ‘hit the ground running!’ “We were going to open a school in time and be ready,” he said. I put earplugs in my ears to buff out the construction noise, and we got to work: mailings to parents, hiring staff (men and women!), preparation for staff meetings, working with Admissions for enrolment, kitchen arrangements, maintenance work, etc., etc., etc.

A lasting legacy

Mr. John Cowans, BCS’54, was appointed Director of King’s Hall for the final 1971-72 year, and then undertook the task of steering the newly coeducational BCS for the ensuing decade.

He sent his best wishes, via Cynthia Drew, to all who attended the 50th Celebration Banquet during Homecoming Weekend in October 2022.

The following is an excerpt from his letter address:

“To the members of all the classes (1972-2022) gathered this Homecoming Weekend, I send my congratulations: what we have done together—all of us: students and teachers and their families, Heads of School and their families, and especially members of our loyal support staff; Old Boys and Old Girls and members of the Boards of Directors, as well as many private supporters—is truly remarkable.

For 50 years our dear Old School has prospered and grown as a coed school because of all of you, and has become, in my consideration, the finest school in Canada. Remember, in ’72 we were among the first of the Canadian private schools to

create a new co-educational school while retaining the spirit and traditions of two existing outstanding educational institutions.

We had many supporters but there were those who felt we would fail; you have proved those ‘nay sayers’ wrong. You all have shown that where there is a strong will and loyal support, success is sure.

To my boys and girls of ’72-’82 who suffered me those first ten years, my pride and joy in your accomplishments continues as I follow your lives from afar.

My memories of those years are still strong. I remember the games and the great afternoon

practices in the multicoloured fall, the bitter cold of the old rink in winter, and the beauty of the campus in the spring. But most of all I remember you—your joy, your enthusiasm, and your love of your School in all your activities.

Sadly, some of our numbers are gone now, and to the memory of those absent friends and to their families we send our love and our prayers.

I must say a word of gratitude to those of you who were with me that first co-ed year; to those board members captained by Hugh Hallward, BCS’44, who were unfailingly supportive; to those first prefects, our leaders; to all students, teachers, and support staff of that first year go my undying

thanks for setting us on our way.

As the words of the hymn we always sang at our final chapel service, known fondly as the ‘sob’ service, go: ‘May God be with you ’till we meet again.’

Sincerely, forever, John”

“Visiting BCS was a blast. The school looks fantastic. The food is excellent, and the quad chairs are a great addition. Thank you very much for hosting a class act reunion.

Having grown up on the campus, BCS was my playground. The celebration was not only reminiscing with my Class of ’81, but it was also remembering Mrs. Drew congratulating me at eight years old when I ran into School House and took off my hat. Later that day, she complimented my father, Bill Badger, for raising a very polite son. I had no idea that taking off your hat was the polite thing to do. But I do now!

When walking around the campus with David Pinck and Scott Goodson on Friday, I had memories of almost every area. It was pretty overwhelming. For instance, watching the ’72 Canada Russia Series in Grier House with the Bedards. Picking fiddlehead ferns every spring down by the river. Cleaning cleats for Crick Glass and the boys on the senior football team at Centre Field on a fall Saturday morning. Watching and playing in fierce hockey games against Stanstead College to a capacity crowd in the oldest arena in North America on a crisp Tuesday winter’s night. Pouring a bucket of water out the third-floor School House window, drenching a bunch of students lounging on Centre Stairs on a warm June day, and many more.”

Back-to-School

The start of the school year may bring a wide range of emotions for our community, but one thing’s for sure… it doesn’t get better than September on Moulton Hill. Campus improvements continued over the summer, as we build upon initiatives from our 2021 House Sweet Home campaign to directly enhance student life and our students’ experience. The new fireplace, painted basketball court, benches, and games in Doolittles have all been a big hit with students. (With parents, alumni, and employees, too!)

Mountain Day saw BCS house shirts dotting the Mount Orford trail, as our community took over the mountain AND

our Instagram Stories—check out the highlights on our Instagram for a glimpse of the fun. Speaking of fun, a wave of purple and white-clad students and staff streamed into chapel during our first school Spirit Day. Mr. Nadeau gave his rousing annual spirit cheer and encouraged our new and old Bears alike to ‘embrace the purple.’

In a return to the annual tradition, students spent the first weekend taking part in team-building exercises and games during Orientation Camp in September. Lots of activities were on the schedule, including zip lining, whitewater rafting, wall repelling, obstacle course races, and

swimming. Students also had the chance to practise survival skills, such as fire building and knot tying.

The beginning of the school year also means it’s time to sign up for clubs and committees. Our second annual Club Fair in the Student Centre boasted both our tried and tested, crowd-favourite clubs and some exciting new additions. There are over 30 clubs to choose from and more than half are student-led or organized!

Never miss a BCS moment!

Dropping in

We love to welcome visitors who provide life-enriching moments for members of our community, and this year’s guests were no exception.

The theme of resilience was a strong focus in Advisor Program sessions last May. Expanding on the topic in a schoolwide session was Founder and Expeditions Director of impossible2Possible (i2P), Ray Zahab. Ray is a ‘Canadian Adventurer’ and ultra distance runner. He has run over 17,000 km across the world, which has enabled him to break boundaries and inspire thousands with the help of his non-profit organization.

Form V students had the opportunity to listen to BCS parent and champion of engagement, Quentin Condo at the end of the last school year. Quentin has been a role model in our community for

many years, and was invited by our Form V History teachers to talk about the relations between Indigenous People and the Canadian government. We also welcomed Ms. Shawna Chatterton-Jerome, Indigenous Student Support Assistant at Bishop’s University, in September to speak about residential schools and Indigenous suppression.

Fresh from performing at Roger Federer’s last match in London, Cameron Hughes shared life lessons and highlights from his nearly 30-year career as a ‘professional fan,’ igniting crowds and inspiring people from the NBA to the Olympics. After showing us some of his moves, he gave several lucky student volunteers the opportunity to get their own dance on in front of their peers.

In October, students learned about what it means to be a good digital citizen—to respect, protect, and educate themselves and others online. Alissa Sklar, Ph.D., runs risk(within)reason, a Montreal consultancy project focused on kids, technology, and risky behaviours.

We were thrilled to welcome Colin Chapman as our fourth Scholar-inResidence in the fall. Colin joined us from Australia, where he was recently appointed to the Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership as a Master Teacher. Through workshops and classes with students and teachers, Colin taught us about enhancing computational thinking in mathematics.

Making a difference

At the beginning of June, which is also Pride Month, our Pride Alliance organized a dress down day to raise funds for Gris Estrie. Gris Estrie is a local non-profit organization dedicated to sexual orientation and gender identity education. Throughout the year, the Pride Alliance advocates for LGBTQ2I+ people, raises funds, presents during chapel, and organizes events such as Pride Day.

Seven lucky students had the opportunity to attend the Round Square International Conference 2022, Take Less: Be More in September. The theme of the conference was intended to remind participants that spending time with people rather than material things is important.

The conference began at Balliol College, University of Oxford in the United Kingdom and ended in Berlin, Germany. Our students were able to learn and interact with other students from around the world, all while meeting new friends and being immersed in the rich culture and history of the UK and Germany.

Former BCS staff member and founder of the Lennoxville Cornerstone Food Bank, Mr. Perry Comeau, came back in October to address our staff and students. Perry shared that over 60 local families don’t have the means to put food on the table. Our community dressed down the following day with a $2 donation and Ms. Lowry collected non-perishable food items, all

of which went directly to our Lennoxville community for Thanksgiving.

The Positive Change Committee (PCC) aims to raise awareness and support for local organizations and charities, and to spread happiness and kindness. A few committee members chose to decorate Mr. Lafrance’s door (and entire office!) for the Halloween Door Decor Contest, so he could celebrate and participate from afar while he was away. For those who don’t know, our Head of School is quite the Halloween enthusiast!

Bears’ Corner

On a beautiful early June morning, eight highly skilled soccer teams came together for the annual BCS Mini World Cup. Students (and some staff!) went head to head in this school-wide soccer tournament. In the highly anticipated Staff vs USA game, Team Staff came out ahead. In the end, Team Quebec came out on top, winning the most games. But that’s not what it’s all about—the true Cup winner isn’t the team who wins the most games, it’s the team with the best spirit!

The Inter-House Track & Field competition is another one of our favourite end-of-year traditions that allows students one last chance to score points for their house. Multiple events were held, including

the 100-1600 meter races, relay races, high jump, long jump, softball, cricket ball throw, discus throw, and shot put. Alistair, Form V, set a new BCS record for the 100m sprint that had stood since 1994, while Livia, Form III, also smashed the existing 100m sprint that had stood since 1995, along with the long jump record that had stood since 2001!

At the beginning of the school year, we hosted our annual Terry Fox Run. More than 350 community members showed their support for the cause, running with smiles on their faces—despite the pouring rain and chilly weather.

Students engaged in some fun house rivalry during the Inter-House Cross-Country

Race in October, with individual trophies awarded to the first place in each category and shield and banner winners for each house that came out on top.

Our Junior Boys Soccer Team claimed the ETIAC championship win at the end of October with a final score of 3-1 against our local and long-standing rival, Stanstead College. All of our Bears had a great run this season and competed exceptionally well in the playoffs. Our Junior Girls Soccer Team was only one point away from claiming the regular season championship.

A HUGE thank you to all of the players, coaches, parents, and fans for a great season—you’re the real MVPs!

Life on Moulton Hill

There’s never a dull moment on Moulton Hill, and the activities inside and outside the classroom have promoted an even deeper grasp of our five school values: lead, grow, engage, experience, and explore.

Mr. Samson’s Form VII IB Biology class adventured outside to collect decomposers as part of their Species, Communities, and Ecosystems unit, where they created terrestrial mesocosms. For the non-science readers—that means they built enclosed environments to observe their collected decomposers (decaying organisms) in relation to their abiotic environment. Students can now have enclosed ecosystems that are still fully sustained today.

Mr. Brandon’s Form IV Visual Arts class had fun with their life drawing projects at the beginning of the year. With only six minutes on the clock, students had to draw the models with a piece of charcoal. Mr. Brandon reminded the class that the key to success is not focusing on details but on the overall shape.

Our community sang a hymn to start off chapel on October 14 for the first time since March 2020. Starting chapel with a song is an age-old BCS tradition—one that students themselves have been requesting be brought back since the beginning of the school year. Thanks to our choir and new interim Choir Director, Ms. Melinda Enns, it’s back and here to stay! We sing every Friday morning to start off chapel, with songs led and chosen by our choir.

On the third week of October, our community participated in Take Me Outside Day (TMO)—an annual event held across Canada to raise awareness about the importance of outdoor learning and to encourage students to spend more time outside. Teachers and students gathered in the Quad for a special outdoor chapel and teachers took their classes outdoors throughout the day. Our Library staff, Mr. Crowther and Ms. Harkness, even set up a mini outdoor library.

The following week, our students and staff were replaced by ghouls and goblins

for Halloween. In the morning our prefects handed out festive candy cups to each classroom, hosted a costume contest at lunch, and toured the haunted tunnels below School House in the evening. Students continued the sugar rush all day by picking up their candygram pack in Ms. Lowry’s office and stopping by the Communications Department to snap a pic at our mummy photo booth.

We held our annual Remembrance Day Service before our community left for November Break. The ceremony started with our choir singing 'In Flanders Fields' accompanied by Mulan, Form VII, on the piano, followed by the entrance of the colour party. Band members performed ‘O Canada’ and our prefects read stories of former students during war times. The service ended with Edward, Form III, playing a beautiful rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ on violin.

OUR ALUMNI

Welcome home!

Annual Cadet Reviews and Inter-House Track and Field competitions.

It is amazing to think of how many lasting memories were born on or close to that spot.

Walking the campus with alumni and speaking to students about giving at the school has made me realize the overwhelming evidence of philanthropy at BCS.

The gymnasium, walking paths, the library, Mitchell Family House, water fountains, artwork, Hartland Molson Hall, benches, gazebos… point in any direction on the BCS campus and you will notice an example. From flower beds to buildings, our community members have forged a rich environment in which lifelong memories have been and continue to be made.

My personal favourite example of our generous community lives in nearly a quarter of the student population, who receive some form of financial assistance— all generated by donations and all providing life-changing opportunity.

Over the summer months I had the pleasure of giving several campus tours to visiting alumni, some of whom had not been back to their old stomping grounds since graduation.

Each stroll, without exception and regardless of age, flooded them with memories and had them sharing stories of teenage victories and struggles. The smells and sounds of a particular stretch of path or hallway, Ross Hall and the cloisters, St. Martin’s Chapel, Centre Hall, and of course, the houses.

These memories transport us back in time to formative years and experiences that clearly helped shape who we are today.

If the giant 100+-year-old pine tree in front of Grier House could talk, it would no doubt share tales of past students it has encountered over the years: the odd cricketer sneaking away in the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s to answer nature’s call; the first kisses that started in 1972; the delinquent morning runners attempting to cut the length of their laps in the ’80s and ’90s; and how it silently cheered with pride during

If you haven’t taken a dip in the purple pond recently, you may have forgotten how good it feels. Visit the campus, come out to BCS events, reach out to the Advancement Office to help you coordinate simple gettogethers with your classmates, donate to the element of school life you care about most, or sign up to be a mentor to a senior student or young alum.

Regardless of the shape it takes, we thank you for your support!

A lasting legacy

Our community spans both the globe and generations. And while we often refer to our tight-knit community as a ‘family,’ there are many amongst us for whom BCS is a true family affair. BCS and KHC, both separately and together, have a cherished tradition of welcoming multiple generations of family members. This year alone, we have 22 current students who are second or third generation BCSers—‘legacies,’ as they are colloquially termed. Many of them have older siblings who have already graduated and joined our alumni ranks.

We gathered a group together one afternoon last fall for a fun photo shoot to honour their family histories and the legacies that have been sparked.

BCS has had the distinct privilege of naming a brand-new tennis court after Jake Eberts, BCS’58, and his wife Fiona. A celebration of their incredible impact on our community was held on campus

this summer, honouring their lives and acknowledging the successful fundraising of over $100,000 to benefit the Ted Eberts Academic Scholarship. The ceremony was held on August 3, welcoming friends and

family from all over to mark the tenth year of Jake’s passing and the eighth year of Fiona’s passing. Their children, Alexander, David, and Lindsay, teamed up with BCS to memorialize their family legacy and its

firmly held belief that it is incumbent on those who can help others succeed to do so, and that the role of community support is integral to that end. The Ted Eberts Memorial Scholarship is a testament to the family’s conviction; started by three Eberts brothers—Ed (Ebe), BCS’56, Jake, BCS’58, and Gordon, BCS’57— the scholarship honours their father Ted, BCS 1919, and is awarded to deserving students so they

may attend the brothers’ beloved alma mater. The scholarship has been awarded for more than 20 years to over 34 students from all over the world and is open to all who wish to support it. Every dollar counts!

BCS would like to give special thanks to famed tennis player and world-renowned coach, Martin Laurendeau, for participating in an intimate Q&A with David Eberts, and for hosting a clinic for those in attendance.

His successful tennis career started with some help from Jake and Fiona, so it was only fitting to honour the act of helping others succeed.

A very special thanks to all who donated to the court and scholarship. A bronze plaque, recognizing all donors to the Ted Eberts Memorial Scholarship before the end of February 2023, will be permanently placed in the spring.

Homecoming

For the first time since 2019, we welcomed alumni from all over the world for our Homecoming Weekend on October 1-2. Saturday was filled with activities that included a Quad BBQ, alumni vs student soccer game, the St. James the Less Church bell unveiling ceremony, cocktail hour, and 50th celebration dinner. The event concluded with beautiful hymn singing in the chapel followed by brunch in Ross Hall on Sunday morning.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the events all weekend and a special shoutout to the Advancement Department who helped make everything happen!

Alumni & Friends Receptions

After almost three years without the luxury of hosting Alumni & Friends events, we were more than happy to revive this part of our operation. Judging by the number of people who attended the Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal events, our alumni community was also very enthusiastic!

Philip Ho, BCS’83, played host on Sussex Drive in Ottawa, where almost 40 people convened for an update on the school and to catch up with friends. Association Board Vice Chair Alex Johnston, BCS’88, graciously offered up her home for the Toronto event, where her father David Johnston (28th Governor General of Canada) joined us, mingling and sharing stories with everyone. The Montreal event at the Atwater Club saw the biggest turnout yet, to the point that we will certainly line up another in the spring.

BCS’ biggest strength is the network that surrounds it, and it is evident when

attending these get-togethers. Alumni of all ages, parents, board members, and past staff/faculty come together to forge, renew, or strengthen meaningful relationships that last a lifetime.

Keep an eye out for upcoming events, either on the BCS social media pages or directly in the Alumni section of the BCS website. Better yet, contact your favourite BCS people and attend together!

KHC: Keep Troth

New Girl Bloopers

I came to King’s Hall, Compton, to attend high school grades 10 and 11. I had previously studied in public elementary and high schools on Montreal’s West Island. I had never been to a private or boarding school. There were five new girls in our class in September 1963, which I am sure was unusual for grade 10. By Thanksgiving, two of the girls switched to grade 9, which left three newcomers.

I was put in a bedroom with Sue, an experienced KHC student. She was wonderful. She said, “Anything you want to know, just ask me.” Of course, I didn’t always know what questions to ask. Hence, several bloopers.

I learned many things at KHC: how to tie a tie; to stand aside in the hall for staff members; to stand up when addressed by a teacher in class; to call grade 10 – 6A and grade 11 – Matric; to avoid minus points. Our house group (I was in Rideau) did not welcome minus points, which were added up each week.

Here are examples of my bloopers.

After school soon after my arrival, fellow new girl Barb and I walked up Windy hill after classes. We had a lovely chat – we discovered that we both had an older brother who was bothersome. Commiseration is always comforting. Later, we descended from the hill to the school to find yummy snacks on a table outside of the kitchen. No one was there. We decided to munch a bun or two and eventually other students arrived. One was from our class. “Didn’t you check in with the teacher before tea?” she asked, concerned. Oops. We hurried to our classroom to assure the teacher on duty that we had returned alive and well.

Each weekday evening after dinner, we ascended to a room with desks and chairs to do our homework. Once I finished mine

on the first night, I gathered my books and headed for the exit. I thought that I heard a question, so I turned and looked at the teacher on duty. She didn’t say anything. So I went down the stairs to the 6A classroom. Soon a girl dashed in. “Are you the girl who just walked out of Prep?” she asked. I was told to speak to the “Prep” teacher at a certain time. She was very understanding but explained what a disturbance it would cause if every student left when she finished her homework. No minus 5 that time.

I loved singing and was always in school and church choirs. At KHC I had to audition for the church choir. I got in! There began a whole new set of indoctrination about behaviour during the Anglican Church Sunday service which was unfamiliar to me. The previous spring, when I turned 15, I had been confirmed in my United Church of Canada local Pointe-Claire congregation. Headmistress Miss Gillard told us that

anyone who was a member of their own church was permitted to take communion at Saint James the Less. Gilly reassured us: “If you don’t know what to do during the church service, don’t worry. Just follow the choir.” Guess who was the only non-Anglican in the choir?

At the KHC church, St. James the Less, I learned to genuflect towards the cross at the front, to sip communion wine, and to chant the Nunc Dimittis and the Magnificat. Little did I realize then that nine years later I would marry a beloved Anglican Mechanical Engineer. Had I been in training for him? If so, thank you KHC. Our 50th wedding anniversary was in May 2022.

By the way, I still fit into my KHC uniform!

Compton Recollections

That old building in Compton holds many fond memories of hundreds of older women. I still have our class photo on the front steps. Speaking of which, we mere students were NEVER allowed to use the inside front steps, only the teachers could and maybe we prefects?

We had pancakes every other Sunday for breakfast. I hated them for years because they were always cold by the time they hit our plates. I have ALWAYS hated liver and we often had it for lunch. Many a time I slid it onto a classmate’s plate, trying to hide the action from the staff glowering at us from the head of the table. Liver came with sausages, and I have never liked those to this day, either!

for Christmas or Easter, so some kind family would invite them to their homes. One year my roommate came from St. Vincent. She had never had to do a thing for herself. She didn’t even know how to figure out what she was to wear in the morning, and we didn’t have much to choose from! I had to teach her how to make a bed, etc.

We couldn’t make our beds before breakfast, they had to ‘air.’ A staff member did the rounds each morning to make sure the beds were unmade, and if you did make it the whole school knew about it at assembly. We all sat on the gym floor and misdemeanours were called out by Gilly and your house would lose marks. Actually, looking back, some of the actions would be called bullying nowadays?

I guess you know that all the teachers were brought over from England on contract?

Soccer was the sport of choice. We had that swimming pool but never had swimming lessons. It sat empty 99% of the time–nuts!

We were of the age when we sat in the sun in the spring with those reflectors to get a tan.

Each spring we went to a sugaring off, coming back with a tub of maple syrup that we would stir to death to turn it into a creamy mixture. In the fall we would walk down the dirt road and steal apples from the farmers, sticking them down our tunics. They were soooo yummy.

We always had a good chef and many of us made Mr. Burt’s chocolate and butterscotch ice cream syrup for years.

We were only allowed to wash our hair once a week, but we cheated of course when we got older. Unfortunately, due to the communal bathrooms, some students would tell on you.

There were three of us in a room until grade 11 when most of us shared with just one other girl. We weren’t able to request a roommate, but our desires sometimes happened. We considered it a treat if we had our room in ‘Sleepy Hollow,’ which was a wing off the main building–a warmer room than the attic ones. We only had wool blankets for our beds. At some point, we could bring our own bedspread and I remember doing just that–what a treat!

Most international students in the ’50s came from the Caribbean or South America. Quite a few weren’t flown home

We saw a movie most Saturdays, but the content was well-screened, nothing risqué for sure, heaven forbid if there was a kiss! We were herded into prep halls to do homework. I can’t remember getting any help if you were having difficulties. Being scholarly was not really a high priority, come to think of it. We needed good manners, proper grammar, and would be trophy wives if the family had money.

There were a couple of spots, I think, for girls who had lost their fathers to the war. Two of my best friends never knew their dads.

Wow, I am thinking about stuff I have nearly forgotten! It has been fun reminiscing. In spite of the strictness of the school, we had fun and made super friends.

John Stewart-Smith, BCS’50

A continuation of John’s ‘tongue-in-cheek memories’ from his time at BCS. The first installment can be found in Class Notes in the Spring 2022 edition of The Bulletin.

“I started in Form II. Arrangements were agreed for our fees to be paid in pound sterling promissory notes which could not be cashed until we had won the war. ‘What happens if we don’t win?’ we asked. ‘Don’t worry, we are going to win.’ These words I think can be attributed to Col Grier before he handed over his Headmastership to his deputy and went off to help win it.

I must have undergone a voice test or something as I was quickly drafted into the

choir. Choir Master, Mr. Page, was a very musical Headmaster of the Prep. He was also running rehearsals for the Gilbert and Sullivan Savoy Opera Patience. I was to join rehearsals as a ‘Lovesick Maiden,’ in the 3rd Reserve and told not to get a haircut.

The following September, 16 Prep boys came back to school with a small axe or hatchet in their luggage. Under the loose supervision of Mr. A. G. Glauser, our Master from Switzerland who was adding fresh life to the teaching of French, we cut and hacked a 12m wide trail through the forest from Mr. Page’s house to the St Francis River! We had no tin hats or protective gear. Can you imagine what the risk assessment and health and safety legislation would say today? Sixteen boys swinging axes and felling trees, the others carrying away the brush and piling logs. I have no recollection of anyone missing fingers or getting their heads cracked open.

In the next four years, I progressed normally through the school. End-of-term lists routinely put the class order as Sheard - 1. Stewart-Smith - 2. This stimulus worked

extremely well for me. When I got back to English schooling at the end of the war (the same place as later on the Middleton girls Kate and Pippa attended) my BCS Prep education stood me in very good stead, only my Latin needing a bit of a push.”

Gael Eakin, KHC’56

In April, Gael and her partner Mr. Colby visited the campus to donate a lovely painting she made of the sugar shack that was located right across the road when she was at King’s Hall, Compton at the age of 15. She does not remember if the tire (maple taffy) was given to them but they used to keep it in their window so they could sneak a taste. She remembers that their weekly pocket money was 30 cents so she was pretty sure that would not have covered the cost of the tire.

While visiting, we went through the Glass Passage, which was built to replicate the Glass Passage at King’s Hall and we showed her where the St. James the Less bell would be located. Gael remembered that when

they used to sit in the Glass Passage and teachers would pass by, they had to stand up straight—similar to what our current students do in Chapel when the Head of School and prefect on duty enter. Next, we showed her the Gilly bust, in the KHC nook, and shared with her how our past Head of School, Mr. Lewis Evans, BCS’65, had built the podium upon which it sits. Along the corridor were the pictures of the girls at KHC. Gael found her class year and pointed everyone out. Gael unveiled her painting and we spoke about where we could display it in the nook somewhere with a plaque. At the entrance of School House Gael and her partner looked over the many names on the wall identifying friends of theirs who were past prefects and Cadet Commanding Officers. Just before Gael had to leave, we gave her our KHC crested tennis shirt and mug as a token of our thanks for all she does as a KHC Class Ambassador.

KHC Class of 1960

‘Joyfully’ submitted by Margot (McMurrich) List, KHC’60

“The 1960 graduating class of King’s Hall Compton held their 60th reunion—delayed two years due to the pandemic—in Newfoundland in June 2022. Profound thanks to Ginny Price Bell and Jude House LeMoine, our two resident Newfoundland hosts, and to Bonnie Ross Wace, who steadfastly tracked down almost 20 of our former class members, nine of whom attended our most special gathering: Alix Palk Arnett, Janet Beattie, Ann

Connacher Bell, Ginny Price Bell, Dione Newman Bucher, Jude House LeMoine, Margot McMurrich List, Valerie Morris Puddicomb and Bonnie Ross Wace. Newfoundland was an amazing choice for our reunion! We settled into our cozy hotel ‘The Murray Premises,’ one of St. John’s heritage buildings. Ginny and Jude had organized four phenomenal days of activities and outings for us. Whilst sightseeing, we travelled in grand style in a large, comfy van—with our hilarious and very knowledgeable local driver/guide Carl—from the peak of Signal Hill to many charming harbours, villages, and craft studios outside St. John’s. Visits to fantastic and welcoming local restaurants were a delight, including an after-dinner stop at Christian’s Pub in St. John’s, where several of us took part in the famous ‘Kissing of the Cod’—an extremely lively ceremony, which resulted in we participants becoming ‘honorary Newfoundlanders!’

Whale-watching was a real experience! On board O’Brien’s Boat Tours, we once again enjoyed the warm Newfoundland hospitality, and while cruising out along the Atlantic Coast, we saw hundreds of puffins nesting with numerous other species along the rocky shoreline. Our real thrill was watching a humpback whale and her calf follow our boat for almost half an hour!

Sunday dinner at Ginny Bell’s ‘Frog Pond’ home was truly a highlight of our reunion! A beautiful warm evening with cocktails and magnificent views from the patio and Jude LeMoine ‘on the stopwatch’ timing each of

our classmate’s five-minute life-story reveals! We were then treated to a magnificently presented and most delicious lobster dinner!

As we left our hotel to return home, Ginny, Jude, and ‘Ugly Stick’ bade us a traditional Newfoundland farewell. Bittersweet indeed to say our goodbyes, but wonderful memories to treasure forever! We recalled our KHC years, remembered fondly the Class of ‘60 gals who were unable to be with us, the very special education and life we had at KHC, and the never-to-be-forgotten presence and guidance of our very dear ‘Gillie!’ Those years were such a positive and formative time of our lives. We celebrated being together once again to affirm how fortunate we were, and how grateful we are, to have attended King’s Hall, Compton!”

KHC Class of 1963

Lalage (Wright) Hackett, Esther (Franklin) MacLeod, and Margot Cowen stopped in for a visit in August. They got a firsthand look at some of the Homecoming Weekend surprises we had in store. They enjoyed touring Gillard House and seeing the upgrades—many of which were made possible by the generosity of the KHC ladies during the House Sweet Home campaign.

Victoria. Susan Cook and I had planned and delivered goodie bags that everyone got: a cloth bag in a special KHC fabric, a KHC mug, a KHC shawl for anyone who didn’t yet have one, a KHC notepad and provided locally, postcards from the Okanagan, a print-out of the daily agenda and activity options, and maps of and a magazine about Victoria.

Sunday we opted to watch the Harbour Ferry ballet nearby. We didn’t have time for the City Walking Tour so Jill faked it and we walked to the statue of Emily Carr near the Empress, saw the Swarovsky chandelier in the Empress reception area, the topiary orcas just outside, and the statue commemorating serving naval personnel near the Visitor Centre.

By then we had to head back to the hotel and cars to get to Jill’s home to meet a lovely lady, Jennifer Winsor, the Chair of the BCS Foundation Board. She had some prepared comments for us about scholarships and listened to our tales of Dickensian times at KHC and said we should write a comedy about it. After Jennifer left in a dash for the ferry back to the mainland, we all drove over to Willows Beach and enjoyed walking in the sand.

After a quiet pause back at the hotel we reassembled at Jill’s for dinner. Wendy provided, and cooked marinated pork tenderloins on the BBQ, that, with salad

and—wait for it—vanilla ice cream with Mr. Burt’s chocolate sauce, made a wonderful dinner. Back at the hotel, many watched the coverage of Queen Elizabeth II’s lying in state. The funeral was aired live starting at 3:00 AM so there were some tired people at breakfast.

Monday, sunny again. By 11:00 AM we had to be over at the Public Market for a food tour most of us had signed up for and as we arrived in front of the BC Legislature on our way there, a naval cohort marched away to band music and cannons began to be fired. It was the beginning of a 21-gun salute to the Queen and for a moment we felt quite pleased that they were honouring our reunion... It got very loud and we had to duck and dive through the crowds to get to the tour. Andy Olson of A Taste of Victoria met us and toured us through six foodie spots where we sampled all sorts of treats presented by the owners.

Back to the hotel for relaxation and/or dips in the hot tub and pool, following which we walked over to Fisherman’s Wharf, saw the float home village and Jill’s former home there, then all piled into a harbour ferry for a trip across the harbour. We walked through town back to the hotel and later transferred back to Jill’s for a dinner of take-out fish (halibut) and chips.

Tuesday, sunny. After breakfast, we assembled in Shirley’s posh room for the class zoom. We walked over to the Bateman Gallery and enjoyed Robert Bateman’s paintings of wildlife. Some went to lunch at a nearby Japanese restaurant and then wandered back up Government Street past the Empress to Favoris for wicked-dipped soft ice cream. In the afternoon several of us convened in the hot tub where we boisterously sang and did an aquatic version of the hokey pokey. They could hear us in the reception.

This was our final evening and we walked to dinner at the Steamship Grill on a patio overlooking the harbour. It was a very special evening under the stars with beloved friends.

There’s something priceless about the friendship among our class who have known each other through thick and thin for 60-ish years. It was so nurturing and joyful to be together.

Thoughts turned to our next reunion, which we think should be in 2025, our 60th, in the Townships. I’ve already found the perfect location.”

“On July 16, along with hundreds of others, I managed to complete a 3K Easter Seals fundraiser swim in the Ottawa River. I came third in my 70-79 age group (though there were only three non-wetsuit swimmers in my group!). Though my time was not stellar, I am proud to say I was the 5th highest fundraiser for the event having raised $1,095 in donations from friends and family for a worthy cause.”

BCS Class of 1972

Submitted by David Murchison, BCS’72

“Some 15+ of us attended a 50th high school reunion at BCS for the Class of 1972. Attached are two pictures. The black and white photo shows a group of boys in an activity, then known as ‘Mountain Country,’ with David Cruickshank standing at the back. 50 years on, the second picture shows the now smaller group in more or less similar positions. In the new picture, you have R to L David Murchison and Peter Ostrom and standing, Tim Kirkwood, Harvy Simkovits and Alan Evans. Missing but showing up the following morning was Phil Lawee. Toby Norwood on Peter’s right in the original photo is in the Halifax area but not at the reunion. Each of Boyd Graham (obscured in the original photo) and Gord McGee have passed. ‘Mountain Country’ was an amazing experience for all of us and David an inspiration then and later. We remember him fondly for much that he gave.”

Craig Fields, BCS’78

“50 years ago I arrived at BCS as a 12-yearold Form II student—one of 12. There were many days I can recall from my six years at BCS, but none like a day late in September of 1972. September 28 was a warm and sunny early fall afternoon. Our last class of the day was our gym class. Mr. Goodwin had us meet him on the track that circled the football field. He said we could leave as soon as we had completed a 6-lap run. Finishing quickly meant I could join everyone at Grier House and watch the final game of the Canada-Russia Hockey Series and the game had already begun. I ran the mile and a half in 9 minutes and 43 seconds. Never again would I remember how long it took to run any distance. It was a great day for Canada and one that left a memory with a young student in the fall of ’72 at BCS.”

I have been working with UN organizations on large humanitarian projects for over 25 years. I am married with two children.

Brian MacFarlane, BCS’82

Fond memories shared by Brian Elliott, BCS’81, on Facebook

“Today is a sad day. And with the weirdness and wonder of social media, this is the only way I have to say goodbye to an old friend. Much too soon. Six years ago in August, we arrived in Vancouver on a family trip/college tour. Despite not having seen each other in more years than either would care to admit, Brian MacFarlane and I had kept in touch and followed each other’s adventures, especially as fathers of girls. From my perch in Amsterdam, I would appreciate his epic annual cross-continent car trips, worthy of a novel in their own right. Without a second thought, Brian offered us his house, his car, his daughter, and his dog and promptly left on a kayaking trip. But not before a day catching up, and meeting his wife and wonderful family, and reminiscing about our thespian days in the shows at Bishop’s College School (he was at the front, I was deservedly well back in the chorus). If this is what they mean by the ‘Old Boys network,’ I will take it any day. Despite the distance and time, I am left with a very heavy heart, and sending my deepest sympathies to his family. The only words of solace I have found were in a quote from a favourite writer, V. S. Naipaul:

‘We are never finished with grief. It is part of the fabric of living. It is always waiting to happen. Love makes memories and life precious; the grief that comes to us is proportionate to that love and is inescapable.’

Clockwise, from above left: Brian Elliott, BCS’81, and Brian MacFarlane, BCS’81, during happier times; Dr. Alain Grégoire, BCS’85, ‘stopped by’ to share his expertise with two Form VI students; Emma Roy, BCS’19, and Bruno Roy, BCS’85, snapped a pic at the end of her internship with CNID; Alex Detre, BCS’88, and Paul Beauregard, BCS’87, reunited at Paul’s wedding in August.

“In May 2022 I returned to BCS for the first time after 31 years! Sadly, not many fellow classmates turned up for our little reunion, but the campus visit was a very emotional experience as it brought back so many beautiful memories. Even if many changes were made to the buildings including some brand-new ones it felt like nothing had changed and it was as though 31 years had not passed. I had goosebumps visiting my room in Grier South where I landed at about 12 years of age not knowing English. The visit to the hockey rink which is still pretty much how it was when I was playing was simply magical. Chapel felt smaller but I guess that’s because I was very small when I

Benjamin Grenon, BCS’93

“Early May I was spending a week with my family in North Hatley. One afternoon I decided to ride my road bike to Sherbrooke. When I saw a sign for BCS I just had to go and check out the place where I spent the best school year of my life. I cycled to the entrance and, out of the blue, gave a call to Charles de Sainte Marie, BCS’93. He welcomed me very nicely. Charles and I were in the same year at BCS and had not met since I left Canada in 1988! We had a long

new tennis courts, new basketball court, new fire pit, and new very colourful Adirondack chairs to engage the community. The charm of the place is still in the air and exactly how I remember it! I admire how BCS is able to pay homage to the past and still remain, very much, in the present time! This visit was long overdue. We appreciate Mr. Lafrance taking the time with us.

I called Charles de Sainte Marie, BCS’93, and he took us on a tour of the school. It was nice to see Grant Field where he and I played together on the same team for four years as well as Chapman where we were housemates for three years. It was a special moment when I got to show my wife my first room at Grier South. It was such a treat to walk through those halls again and be reminded of all the history, and the experiences that had shaped me. I’m grateful to have had the chance to show her that part of my life. ”

Tara stopped by campus in September to share her feature in Elle Québec: “Les racines du rap au Québec.” She graciously left behind four copies for us to share. She had hoped to shoot her Télé-Québec video teaser at BCS, but with students on campus, it was too difficult. She hopes the next one can be done here because BCS is very close to her heart.

REPORT ON GIVING 2021–22 57
Any gesture that benefits our beloved school is appreciated, and no method of giving has a greater impact on building the foundation of our institution than recurring gifts.

A giving strategy with big impact

One of the greatest myths about impact and giving is that one needs to have a lot to make a big difference. Two examples:

Years ago, an alumnus set up a life insurance policy with BCS as sole beneficiary. For 20 years, monthly tax receiptable installment payments of $159 were made. The policy is now fully funded, and the benefit to BCS is currently valued at $76,000 and continues to grow annually.

A number of BCS alumni have made arrangements in their estate planning to remember BCS. For illustrative purposes, if 300 BCS alumni (5% of the alumni family) chose to name BCS as a beneficiary of, say, $30,000/each in their estate planning, the school would in time be $9 million better supported in terms of its programs. That’s a lot of generosity that can have tremendous impact. What is more, because BCS is a non-profit organization, the tax benefit of legacy giving can in fact be a benefit to family by lessening the tax burden for your remaining loved ones.

For more information, contact Charles de Sainte Marie, BCS’93, at 1.877.570.7542 x225 or cdsmarie@bishopscollegeschool.com.
