dedications Mr. H.D. Waghorne, Head of the History Department, is retiring after thirty -seven years of teaching at our school. He received his secondary school education at the BCI VS, during which time he won the Preston Silver Medal for Oratory. Following a BA course at McMaster University, in 1933 he began his teaching career, which included the subjects of English, geography, penmanship, health, aircraft recognition, commando training and general physical education. Later he concentrated on the teaching of history, earned his Specialist ' s Certificate in physical education and became a qualified cadet instructor. Mr. Waghorne was a successful coach of senior rugby and basketball teams as well as rifle teams. The latter won two Dominion trophies in RMC and DCRA competitions. A trophy donated by him for inter-school rifle competition was never lost by the BCI VS. For many years he conducted Students ' Council elections and was a long-time advisor to this body. We are grateful for Mr. Waghorne ' s invaluable contribution to our school both in and outside of the classroom. We wish him many happy and rewarding years of retirement. mr. waghorne mr. milroy Mr. Milroy joined the staff of the BCI VS in September of 1940 as a teacher of electricity after having had extensive experience in the field of industrial electricity.
