J edication We have, this year, respectfully dedicated the yearbook to Mr. James A. Richardson, who has served the school as Chairman of the Board of Governors ever since 1952. A fitting tribut e was made to him by Mr. Gordon, at the Carol Service, when he pre¬ sented Mr. Richardson with a very unique book; a gesture of thanks by the school. In the following speech which Mr. Gordon made, he concluded with the foreword of the book: “This book, of which three copies only have been printed, is designed to express the warm gratitude of many people — boys, masters, and parents — past, present, and fu¬ ture — for the enduring interest, generous support and thoughtful work of James Richardson on behalf of this School during his term as Chairman of the Board of Governors 1952-64.” JAMES A. RICHARDSON The Speech : “And now, just before the end of this Carol Service, I would like, on behalf of us all, to give a Christmas present to a person who has played a special role in the life of this school — a person, but for whom we might not be here having a Carol Service at all. criticisms have been just; his comments perceptive; his interest, eager, and his encouragement to make this school, his school, as good a one as we, all of us, could make it, has been constant. He has earned a respite from his many time-consum¬ ing duties in connection with School affairs. I hope that I know him well enough, however, to say that his interest and encouragement will continue. Mr. Richardson will not be turning the Chairmanship of the Board over to his successor until some time in the new year, but this seemed to us the right time — when parents, boys. Board members and staff are gathered together — to tell him how deeply grateful we are for all he has done in the past twelve years — first of all for making certain that the school could continue to exist; secondly, for insisting that the con¬ tinued existence should depend upon its merits, and thirdly for making its merits known to others who have helped us. Mr. Richardson is a modest person and I feel I must not embarrass him by a recitation of his many acts of generosity or a full account of what his great investiture of time and talent has meant to us. To me personally he has been the best counsellor and friend a Headmaster could hope for. His I have here a book — a book which has been prepared and produced by several people over a period of months — a book which no one can buy — a book which we hope will remind Mr. Richardson and his family and will tell sons, grand¬ sons, and great grandsons something of the part that his family has played in the destiny of the School. The three copies of this book will be distributed: one to Mrs. Richardson Sr., one to Mrs. Richardson, and the third will remain in the school as a perpetual reminder of Jim Richardson ' s work here, and that of his father before him. We have called the book “Two Generations — a title that we felt might be of some signifi¬ cance to the Richardson Family and also to this School. Here is the book, and let me, before I present it, read you the introduction:” One of the many Board Meetings that Mr. Richardson attended.
