June 1923 THE CLASSIC Page Seven STAFF NOTES When the position of mathematical master became vacant last spring owing to the death of our former master, Mr. W. Forbes, the Department of Education made an apt choice in sending us, at the re-opening of school, Mr. I... R. l-lalnan. Mr. I-lalnan is a native of Oshawa and also taught for three years in the public schools in that vicinity. He is an honour graduate of Trinity University, obtaining specialist standing with the degree of lVl.A. in mathe- matics and in addition won the Wellington scholarship in mathematics. After completing his college course he spent two years as House Master in Pickering College, Pickering, a short time in Georgetown, and after that for seventeen years was engaged as mathematical master in Brampton High School. Already Mr. l-lalnan has won the esteem and respect of the students by his enthusiasm and kindly discharge of his duties, and we feel that Stratford has gained a worthy citizen. All join in wishing Mr. Halnan the full- est measure of success in the important work he has undertaken. It was with much regret that the students and staff of the school learned on their return, at Easter, that their esteemed master and co-worker, Dr. Emery, had found it advisable to suspend work for a time. Dr. Emery has been such an indefatigable worker and efficient instructor that it is needless to say that he has been greatly missed. We are glad to know that the en- tire rest has already restored to a large extent his former health and vigour and that next year's students will en- joy, as we have, his ready wit and helpful instruction. The breach formed by the Doctor's absence was ably filled by our esteemed principal, Dr. Silcox, who con- tinued the work in Elementary Science and Nature Study, While the instruction in Agriculture was well looked after by Mr. M. C. lVlcPhail, B. Sc. A., District Representative for Perth of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. MRS. SEBBEN
