TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3 too little, for the student will not reap the fullest benefits. And so it is over. The thirty boys who came together, lived together. and left together, are now spread across a continent. from Bermuda to Victoria. Wherever you go, good luck, and to those who follow. the same. -A.N.R. DR. PHILIP A. C. KETCHUM The sudden death of Dr. Ketchum on July 21 saddened the entire T.C.S. community, After a strenuous year as assistant to the President of the University of Toronto for Secondary School Affairs, Dr. and Mrs. Ketchum spent the month of June on a happy vacation in Ireland with their daughter Penny and her family. Shortly before his brief, fatal illness. he attended his first meeting as the newly appointed Warden of St. George's College, Toronto, and a meeting of the Board of Governors of Trinity College School, as Headmaster Emeritus and a Life Member of the Board. When Dr. Ketchum retired as Headmaster in 1962, he could look back on what can only be described as a triumphal progress through the twenty- nine years he remained at the helm. He took over a school bowed down with debt in the midst of the greatest economic depression Canada has ever known. Within five years a host of Old Boys and friends of the School had rallied to his side, infected by his youthful confidence, and even more by the deeply Christian humanity he revealed in serving a cause outside himself. The School debt was wiped out. The war came to postpone but not to diminish the brightness of his dream of a great school, financially secure and ready to meet the challenges of the future. He lived to see the dream come close to reality as others also caught the vision and responded with strong financial support. During the past few years, many tributes have been paid to Philip Ketchum and his charming and courageous wife. None has come closer to expressing the general admiration generated by his life and work than that paid him by Mr. C. F. W. Burns on the occasion celebrating his twenty-five years as Headmaster: Something of his spirit touches all who come in con- tact with him. We are all, I think, a little better for having known him. Dr. Ketchum is survived by his wife, the former Otillie Orinsby: his three daughters, Susie Migotti of Montreal. Patricia Lawson of Port Hope and Penelope Sanger of Nairobi, Kenya: and three sons. Christopehr of Edmonton. Anthony and Nicholas of Port Hope. To them goes the deep sympathy of the School.
