Halifax Grammar School - Grammarian Yearbook (Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada)

Page 7 text:

Dedication The Grammarian this year is respectfully dedicated to the memory of the late Mr. James Karr. The news of the sudden death of Mr. Karr on October 1st came as a very great shock. His death ended an association with the School of eleven years, longer than any other staff member. Mr. Karr came to the Halifax Grammar School in 1962 to teach English. In addition to the English classes he was also involved with the early music program, the Grammarian and Reach for the Top . Mr. Karr ' s contribution to the school will certainly never be forgotten by the students and teachers who knew him. In order that his name will have meaning for future students and teachers, the ' James Karr Memorial Scholarship ' has been established. Mr. Karr was always a stern taskmaster when teaching English but outside the classroom and when recounting anecdotes of his experiences he revealed his other side, his truly kindhearted nature. Those of us on the editorial staff of the Grammarian who had worked in the past with Mr. Karr knew that he was the driving force who bad worked behind the scenes to make it a yearly success. However, this year, when confronted with the fact that Mr. Karr was no longer with us, I, as editor, realized just how much work he did on his own and how much we had unwittingly depended on him. He has been sorely missed. RANDY GORDON, Editor-in-chief
