were the intangible effects of his presence among us. For, if as the teleological philoso- phers tell us the end of education is wisdom, then the sign posts pointing the way are forti- tude, temperance, and justice. These qualities, found in Mr. Kaye in remarkable degree, have had their effect on us all, start and students alike. Despite the fact that Mr. Kaye would not be with us in person in the years ahead his influence would continue to work as we recalled his courage, tolerance, and sense of fair play. The school rejoiced, Mr. Archbold went on, that, since Mr. Kaye was to remain a member of the Governing Body, it would continue to have the benefit of his wisdom and counsel. To Mr. Kaye, Mrs. Kaye, and their family Shawnigan Lake School extended the wish that the years to come might be happy and blessed and expressed the hope that from time to time they might visit the school, their second home. PRESENTATION TO MR. KAYE BY THE OLD BOYS Representing the Old Boys, Mr. C. Burke on Speech Day presented Mr. Kaye with a movie camera and projector. These were evidences of the admiration and respect in which Mr. Kaye was held by all Old Boys of Shawnigan. Mr. Burke pointed out that, although the beds in the school were as hard as they always had been, Mr. Kaye was turning over to his successor a first-class school which was one of the best in Canada. The Old Boys, aware of how their school had benefited under Mr. Kaye, wanted him to know that they were grateful and that they wished him and his family happiness in the future. PRESENTATION AT THE STAFF MEETING At the last staff meeting of the year on behalf of the members of the Masters ' Common Room the Senior Master presented Mr. Kaye with a silver cigarette box which had been inscribed. Mentioning the heavy burden of responsibility that inevitably must rest on the shoulders of the Headmaster, Mr. Archbold stated that few men could have borne the load with the equanimity and the serenity Mr. Kaye had. In the intimacy of the Common Room, where staff meetings had been held, sometimes masters had argued long and passionately for what was close to their hearts. The Head- master had had the final decision to make and had made his determination only after evaluating the arguments, pro and con, in the light of what was best for the school as a whole. Knowing this the staff had respected his decisions. Each member of the staff, Mr. Archbold said, would miss him, for he had given each the feeling that he was personally interested in both the master and his family. For Mr. Kaye there must be satisfaction in the realization that during his six years as Headmaster the school had grown into one where it was happy and satisfying to teach. The quotation that best described his tenure of office was probably the school ' s motto: Palmam qui meruit ferat. But this was Lord Nelson ' s motto. Just as Lord Nelson had lost his right arm so now the staff felt as if they were losing theirs inasmuch as they were bidding au revoir to not only their Headmaster but also a friend. In his replies to the presentations on Speech Day and in the Masters ' Common Room Mr. Kaye expressed the gratitude he felt both for the remarks and the gifts. His association with the School as Headmaster had been a happy one and he looked forward to returning for visits to renew friendships. To those who would be remaining to work at Shawnigan he wished good fortune in their efforts to continue to improve the school under the guidance of his successor, Mr. Larsen. PRESENTATION TO MRS. KAYE On Speech Day on behalf of the School Mrs. Horton, the Head Matron, presented Mrs. Kaye with a crystal vase and a bouquet of flowers. Mrs. Kaye had contributed, Mrs. Horton said, unselfishly of herself to the school community during her stay at Shawnigan. Cognizant of the sacrifices made by Mrs, Kaye and recalling the many occasions on which they had been entertained in her delightful home, the members of the school community wished to extend their thanks and to express their hope that happiness would be hers in the years ahead. Mrs. Kaye, in turn, thanked Mrs. Horton and those who had given the gifts. She expressed her gratitude, in addition, to many individually after the presentation. Page Nineteen
