THE EcHoEs 9 ,foifzhgf of tire Trzhqoal THE following may be of interest to the recent graduates of the school: Sfaf Ckcmges MR. F. J. A. BTORRIS. M.A. Last June, lNfIr. Morris resigned his position as Head of the English Depart- ment in the Academic School. He joined the staff in 1913 and for 23 years rendered excellent service. He will be greatly missed alike by his former colleagues and by his pupils. Mr. Morris was, indeed, a great lover of English, a distinguished author, a well-beloved teacher and a cultured gentleman. The staff, in saying good-bye, wish him and his good wife many a year in which to enjoy a well-earned holiday. Miss PEARL FAINT, M.A. XVhen school reopened in September last another well-known teacher was missing from the ranks. Bliss Faint, owing to continued ill-health, sent in her resignation as Head of the department of French and German. This position she had held for 18 years, having returned to her Alma lNIater as teacher in the year 1918. . Those whose good fortune it was to spend any part of their student days in her classes will always remember her skill as a teacher, her great interest in their studies, and her outstanding loyalty to the school. MR. E. F. LEGON, B.A. Another absentee in September was Mr. Legon, the Princeps Alumnus of his year. He joined the staff of his Alma lXIater in 1928. Although without teaching experience he was made Head of the Classics department and justified the confidence placed in him by administering that department with marked success. He resigned in June last to accept a similar position in the Lisgar Collegiate Institute, Ottawa, at an advance in salary. Mr. Legon was much interested in sports and rendered valuable aid as Coach. His oneatime colleagues and pupils wish him every success in his new position. Miss EDITH BIURPHY, B.A. Miss Murphy joined the staff in 1921 as Director of English in the Commercial Department of the school. After 15 years of excellent service in this position, she was promoted in June last to succeed Mr. Morris as Head of the English department, in the .Academic School. 'We have every confidence in Miss Murphys ability as a teacher to justify her appointment as Director of this most important department of school work. Miss HELEN HICGREGOR, B.A. XVe welcome to our staff, as successor to Mr. Legon, Miss Helen McGregor, B.A., a specialist in Greek and Latin. She has had ten years' experience as a teacher of the Classics and Ancient History. Miss McGregor has made an auspicious start, and we feel assured that she will prove herself to be a valuable addition to the staff. Miss TYIARGARET WHITE, B.A. Miss VVhite was engaged by the Board to act as substitute teacher for Miss Faint during the time that the latter was absent on sick leave. Miss White, who is a specialist in both French and German, gave such general satisfaction that on the resignation of Miss Faint in june last she was permanently ap- pointed Head of the French and German department.
