Newtonian 89 tion he served as Principal of grammar schools at Woodstock and Bath- hurst, N.B., and from there he accepted appointment to Sutherland School at Saskatoon, Sask. He came to Winnipeg in 1915 as Principal of the Gladstone School, and for a time taught Latin in Kelvin High School. In 1917 he took an M.A. degree in Political Economy at Manitoba University. In 1926 he assumed the Principalship of Luxton Junior High, where he served for twelve years. In 1927 he secured a Bachelor of Pedagogy at Toronto University. For the last nine years he has been Principal of Isaac Newton High School. Mr. Floyd has always been interested in high standards for the teach¬ ing profession, and in improved, forward-looking methods in Education. He was the first President of the Winnipeg Men’s Local of the Manitoba Teachers’ Federation, and was President of the Schoolmasters’ Club. He has served on numerous committees connected with educational matters. He came to Newton in September, 1938, and in short order students and teachers realized that they were dealing with a man of boundless energy and initiative—a human dynamo. He began at once to organize a rugby club and that very season saw Newton’s first attempt on the gridiron. The next innovation was the creation of an elective Student- Council. The library needed attention, and he attacked the problem with such vigor that today Newton boasts one of the finest collections of read¬ ing material in Manitoba. Due to his persistent efforts Domestic Science and Art departments were set-up in the School, and a Grade XII Com¬ mercial was added to the course. Music and Operetta flourished, and Mr. Filmer Hubble’s services were secured to train our orchestra. In ’46 Mr. Floyd introduced international competition in basketball to Win¬ nipeg, bringing the North Dakota State champions here to play our boys. A men’s rest-room was provided, Parr street was paved, beautiful pic¬ tures were hung on the walls and the latest in films and movies were introduced. Countless visits were made to parents, especially during the war years, and a splendid Memorial was designed and set-up in the main hall to the memory of those who had given their lives in the struggle for freedom. Perhaps his most significant contribution was the establish¬ ment of the Isaac Newton Scholarships—courses provided by the school to aid worthy students to carry on their education. This is the stark outline of the career of Arthur Edgar Floyd, teacher, educationist and humanitarian. It does not tell the full story—the years of earnest toil, the constant preparation for ever greater tasks, the in¬ domitable will, the complete conquest of self and the mastery in his chosen field of endeavor that have characterized the man. Nor does it tell of his all-embracing charity, his kindliness, his tolerance and forbearance, his patience with the weakness and foibles of human nature, his broad outlook on life, his deep sympathy for and unbounded confidence in youth. During his years of service at Newton he has provided wise, inspiring leadership, able administration and kindly help to all. By precept and conduct he has at all times shown the way to the fuller and more abundant life, and in those who have worked with him, in the students and in the people of the community he has engendered deep feelings of respect, loyalty and affection. In bidding him farewell we express the earnest hope that his life will be one of full and fruitful years, and that he will continue to give of his talents, as he has in the past, to worthy causes and to the benefit of humanity. Fare thee well; The elements be kind to thee and make Thy spirits all of comfort.
