THE 1982-83 EDITION OF THE STAG IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO: EDWARD REYNOLDS (NED) LARSEN (1925-1983) THE DAY THOU GAVEST Memories of Ned Larsen Edward Reynolds Larsen died at his home in Oakville, on the sixth of April, 1983, after a short illness. He had been prominent in Canadian In- dependent School circles for twenty- five years. He was twice president of the Canadian Headmasters ' Association, and was a founder member of the Federation of Independent School Associations of British Columbia. He served two major Head- masterships: at Shawnigan Lake School from 1958- 1967; and at Appleby College from 1968-1980. He gained international honors for Canada in both Squash and Field Hockey. He was one of three founding editors of this Journal. Ned radiated vitality. He remained extraordinarily youthful in both appearance and actions until his final illness. His turn of mind, his manner of speaking, and his banter bespoke a zest for life. Life for Ned took place in the classrooms and on the playing fields of schools. He loved the rhythms and routines of school life. Something about the elemental simplicity of purpose, and the wholesomeness and the caring and the zeal and the pride, constituted Ned ' s educational vision. He was forthright in the presentation of his ideals, and stark almost in the pursuit of them. Ned had the competitive edge, that glint of steel, of the Viking. It was perhaps no accident that his Shawnigan Lake crew, when it came to the English Henley in the 1960 ' s, was so described: Norsemen, come out of the West . At one of the Canadian Headmasters ' Conferences, he spoke about teaching the faith in schools. Listening to him was like flying over the unfolding landscape of the northern, freshwater lakes of Canada. Images of the North seem somehow to associate themselves with Ned. At this Memorial Service at Appleby, the most famous of all Evensong Hymns was sung, The Day Thou Gavest. This must have been sung in more
