C. PORO PARTRIDGE On Monday, November 6, 1967, death came very suddenly to Mr. C. Poro Part- ridge, teacher of social studies and Guidance Counsellor for many years at Westdale. Mr. Partridge was born in Hamilton and received his early education in this city. Following his high school course at the old Hamilton Collegiate Insitute he at- tended University of Toronto from which he graduated in 1930. After a year at the Ontario College of Education he began his teaching career at Westdale where he spent 35 years. Mr. Partridge was a dedicated teacher and counsellor who could always find it possible to do more than was asked of him. Although quiet and reserved he was un- tiring in his efforts to help those with whom he came in contact. It was signifi- cant that death should come to him while actively engaged in helping his students. The enthusiasm and devotion which Mr. Partridge showed in his school work was evident also in the work of his church. For many years he had been a member of James Street Baptist Church and at the time of his death was a trustee of the church and treasurer of the Sunday School. For relaxation, Mr. Partridge ' s greatest interest was music. His personal accomp- lishments in the field of music were con- fined to the piano, but his wide interest in good music was demonstrated by the fine collection of records which he possessed and from which he derived pleasure and satisfaction. Our sympathy is extended to Mrs. Partridge, a son, George, in British Col- umbia and a daughter, Nancy (Mrs. E. Martindale), an elementary school teacher in Hamilton. Although we are all saddened by the untimely passing of such a dedicated pub- lic servant, we are conscious of the good fortune which was ours in having his efforts directed toward us in this school.
