DcciiGftttOn HAROLD J. MUMBY Many people believe that education is a way of life; and all their time and en¬ ergy is utilized toward this one purpose - to bring knowledge and thus maturity and the qualities of good citizenship to young people . Such an individual is Port Hope High School ' s Vice-Principal, Mr. H.J. Mumby. Mr. Mumby was born on a farm about ten miles from Stirling, Ontario, on February 6, 1912. He was educated at Stirling High School and Trinity College, University of Toronto (3T3). For three years he taught public school at Marmora, Ontario, and later Wellington Continuation School enjoyed his services. He se¬ cured his first experience teaching high school at Pembroke Collegiate, where, for one year, our Vice-Principal was Head of the P.H.E. department. Ten years after his graduation from the University of Toronto, Mr. Mumby came to P.H.H. S. to teach his first love, the subject of mathematics. Mathematics might have been his first love , but it was not his only one. In 1936 Mr. Mumby was married to Marion Brown. They have three children - El¬ aine, Roberta, and Peter. Except for a short period during which he taught Grade 13 Physics, Mr. Mumby has been a mathematics teacher ever since his arrival at our school. In 1959, Mr. Mumby vacated Room 211 to become Vice-Principal of our alma mater, with headquarters rotating from his own office, to the counter at the students ' office and his teaching environment, the library. Now we come to a very important part of Mr. Mumby ' s life - the pride and joy of Port Hope High School — our Cadet Corps. Captain Mumby ' s military career began with the Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Reserve. In 1943, he obtained his G rade A Certificate at Niagara-on-the-Lake, and became Chief Instructor of Ca¬ dets at Pembroke. When he came to Port Hope in 1944, our school ' s cadet corps had disintegrated due to the popularity of air and sea cadets. But Mr. Mumby was not disheartened. Within a short time, with the aid of Mr. Brackenbury, the Prin¬ cipal, he established a small corps of fifty boys. Under Captain Mumby ' s guidance , the Corps went on to great accomplish¬ ments in the years following; and Port Hope High School became famous for the calibre of its cadets. Since 1944, as a result of the sharp-shooting of the 303 Rifle Team, the corps has amassed twelve Strathcona Cups. In 1958, P.H.H.S. scored in all three classes to bring home three cups in one year. Another outstanding achievement in 1958 by a member of the Corps brought glory to our school — Leigh Winfield placed first in all of Canada in the Cadet One Hundred Roll. Cap¬ tain Mumby has himself advanced in the Cadet Services of Canada, and is now president of Eastern Ontario C.S. of C. Association. After a year of teaching mathematics, most people would welcome a holiday in the summer months. Mr. Mumby, however, on several occasions during the years from 1947 to 1958, spent his summer vacations as an instructor of cadets at Camp Ipperwash. In 1959 a great honour was bestowed upon Mr. Mumby - he was asked to represent the Eastern Ontario Area as an instructor of the Master Cadets at Banff, Alberta, where they were inspected by the Queen and Prince Philip. Our school is greatly privileged to have this man associated with us. (Continued on page 27) 5
