MR. PATTERSON RETIRES Mr. Patterson, one of the most familiar figures in Churchill, whose kindness and helping hand we have all known, is retiring this year. We thought it only fitting that a tribute to him be included in this year ' s Victory.” Mr. Patterson was born in 1891 on a farm in Ontario. He attended school there, and in Guelph, from where he graduated in 1910. After graduating from the Toronto Normal School he went back to teach in the very school in which he was taught as a child. He later became principal of Hazelridge Consolidated School, from where he went back to university to take a medical course. Though elected Senior Stick of United College, he enlisted in the fall of 1915 and went overseas in the First World War, from which he returned in 1919 as a Lieutenant. Following the war he returned to college and in the fall of 1920 he was appointed to the staff of St. Johns Technical High School. For a number of years during this time, Mr. Patterson retained his association with the Militia as second-in-command of the First Canadian Machine Squadron, a cavalry unit. Near the end of his stay at St. Johns, Mr. Patterson and Mr. Hensley wrote the three Science books entitled “Science Indoors and Out” which have been used in Manitoba for over twenty-five years for grades seven, eight and nine. In 1935 Mr. Patterson and Mr. Hensley were called upon to prepare three similar texts for the schools of Nova Scotia. These were in use until last year. In 1930 Mr. Patterson became principal of Victoria Albert School and in 1949 principal of the Hugh John Macdonald School which position he retained until 1956, when he retired. At this time he was asked by the school board if he would like to teach and he readily answered that he would if he could teach science to the junior grades. Thus, Churchill had the fortune of seeing Mr. Patterson entering its corridors in the fall of 1956. During his five years at Churchill Mr. Patterson has achieved a great deal. He has gained respect, admiration, and affection from every student that ever entered his classroom. He has earned a great deal, more than any of us could ever repay him. He has encouraged young students to interest themselves in science, and it is no wonder they undertook to build a telescope, which is now completed. Mr. Patterson plans to enjoy retirement by spending his time dong what he has always loved — travelling, reading and continuing with his hobby — photography. He said that he has enjoyed his five years in our school immensley and that he will never forget the kindness and co-operation offered him by the staff and students of Churchill High. In conclusion we will all remember Mr. Patterson as a man who was so much interested in helping us that he often forgot himself. Congratulations on the past—best wishes for the future, Mr. Patterson.
