Page Four T H E T O W E K S IN MEMORIAM IN HONOR OF OUR FORMER PRINCIPAL IN VIEWING THE PLAQUE OF W. D. LOWE As I first gazed in silent pause, Behold, to my surprise. The plaque spoke out in loud applause - - A great man never dies. This gentleman a full life chose, So humble, true and kind; As scent adds beauty to the rose So virtue to the mind. A scholar keen, of highest rank, His praise of Homer voiced, With great delight of Horace drank. In Scott and Keats rejoiced. This man inspired us all to find A joy in noble deeds; A zeal in service for the Blind, And all our fellows’ needs. A nobler Kingdom now endears This godly citizen; But his bright spirit reappears In hearts and lives of men. —C. A. 14A SHAKESPEARE once wrote. .“All the world ' s a stage, and all the men and women merely players . . . Most of us have only minor parts to play, but on rare occasions there arrives on the stage of life a player who is destined to play a major role through setting a standard of action for the rest of us to strive towards. Such a man was William Duff Lowe. . . Record has it that Mr. Lowe arrived on the stage of life in the vear 1882 at Cobden in Renfrew Coui.ty. Obtaining his Master of Arts degree at Queen’s University in 1902, Mr. Lowe came to W md- sor six years later and began teaching in the Patterson Collegiate Institute where he was appointed principal in 1919. The year 1923 saw the formal opening of the Wmdsor- Walkerville Vocational School and the appointment of Mr. Lowe as its principal, in which capacity he served until his sudden death in June. 1945. During these all-too-short years, the students and statt realized that here was a man who lived and breathed nobleness. Never too busy to listen to student problems and always eager to guide and assist puzzled or erring students, Mr. Lowe made it his business to know each and every pupil. His humour, humanity, and knowledge of both books and people influenced all of us who knew him. The standard set by Mr. Lowe is something for every student to work towards in playing his part on life’s stage. Naming the school after him is a fitting tribute to that standard.
