HISTORY NIGHT

Malcom Lewis, a recent LCC graduate who has brilliantly portrayed History Night's Recording Angel at the Pearly Gates for the past six years and has become an annual institution in himself, prophetically spoke the final words of this year's gathering when he said, "Well, that is it. History Night is now history."

As all good historians know, nothing is more certain than change. Nothing, no matter how good it is, last forever. Every great civilization, regime, palace, and temple has its day of splendour, but life goes on and change is inevitable. The secret is to savour the moment, enjoy it while it lasts, and then to move on to the future.

History Night was the creation and result of a unique educational experiment. It has lasted nineteen glorious years and seen nearly fifteen hundred fifty students portray their characters in all their splendour at the annual grade seven event. There is, however, a need to make changes in the Social Studies Curriculum, and History Night has thus run its course. Do not despair, for the concept of History Night has proven itself against the tests of time. Who knows? Like the proverbial Phoenix of old, it may yet arise anew from the ashes and take on new life in different form of the future. One chapter of History is now closed, but there are always new chapters to be written.

It remains for me to say a special thank you to all those many Old Boys, staff members, and students from the Senior School who have helped me so untiringly over the years. History Night would not have been made possible without their enormous contribution and efforts. There is not space here to mention everyone concerned, but I would like to mention a few. To Chuck McGinn, Ian Griffiths, and Sylvia Tracy of the LCC Art Department, 1 owe a great debt. 1 would also like to thank two long-time colleagues. Geoffrey Hall and Richard Barrett, who have been so involved in the writing, acting, and directing of the many History Night plays over the years. I am very thankful for the tremendous support behind the scenes and in other capacities of Paul Keyton, Victor Badian, Gordon Allan, Janet Campbell, Joy Batsis, Bea McNally, Eric Lasota, Mark Griffiths, Alain Hebert, Pierre-Jean Tremblay, David Howard, Richard Hovey, Stephen Lee, Gordon White, David Pomkoski, Chef Dick de Grendpre, and Winrue Garbish. 1 would also like to mention two old boys who have worked on History Night every year since they played their own roles in Grade Seven. To Terry Jacyno, who has been my valued assistant these past years, and to Ted Kalil, who has helped me for the past decade, 1 am truly indebted. From the wonderful support that I have received over the years from those who have experienced History Night, 1 know that the spirit of this unique event will long live on!
