JAMES C. LAING Crescent’s Technical Department is losing a valu¬ able and respected member of its staff this year. Mr. James C. Laing, an instructor of metal work begins his retirement next fall. Mr. Laing came to Crescent when the new technical wing was built. He became a member of the staff of Calgary School Board in 1933 and previous to his joining Crescent’s staff he taught Pre- vocational Classes and then metalwork at Western Canada High School. Mr. Laing’s career has been full and interesting. Born in Aberdeen, Scotland he received his formal education in the Normal School and at Robert Gordon’s College. He carried on in Mechan¬ ical and Electrical Engineering at Robert Gordon’s College followed by courses from the International Correspondence Schools. His apprenticeship was served in Aberdeen and he spent the next few years as a journeyman. In 1914, he was called into military service. After the war, Mr. Laing started up an Electrical Contract Business which flourished until his decision to come to Canada in 1928. In Calgary, he worked with the now extinct firm of Electrical Engineers Ltd. and with the Otis Elevator Company. He then spent 2 years as Electrical and Mechanical Engineer at the Western Gem Coal Company in Drumheller before joining the Calgary teaching staff. We would like to wish Mr. Laing many years of peace and enjoy¬ ment during his retirement. 3n Jfflemortam HARRY WOOD died in an auto accident on the Number 2 Highway, 1955. P.O.
