MR. WORDEN RETIRES I t is surely no coincidence that the period of greatest activity and expansion in the 100 years of Weston Collegiate's history has been the period in which our retiring principal, Mr. E.H.G. Wor- den has been at the helm. Next fall, other hands will be taking over an organization notable for its efficiency and high academic standards. In this development, Mr. Worden has played the major role. Graduating from Guelph Collegiate, Mr. Worden attended the University of Toronto, and then went back to Guelph to teach. Service in the First World War came in here, when Mr. Worden was with the Royal Berkshire Regiment in France and Salonika. Wounded in July of 1917, he was awarded the Mili- tary Cross in France and while in Salonika was mentioned in dispatches. Resuming his teaching career, Mr. Worden went from Guelph to Windsor and then to Weston, where he joined the staff as a science specialist in 1926. In 1936 he became principal, succeeding the late Mr. Pearson. A Conning Tower reporter asked Mr. Worden what he thought was the most important development at Weston in his 22 years as principal. It was setting up a fairly complete and efficient organiza- tion during and following the depression, he said. We saw a shift from a semi-urban to an urban school area, and we had to be ready to look after a greatly expanding school population. Our biggest headache has been accommodation, but I think we' re pretty well able to keep ahead of it now. The question of what he enjoyed most during his 22 years as principal was an easy one. Well, I think anyone enjoys seeing any example of what he is striving for, Mr. Worden replied. That is, for me, bringing a lot of people to do the same thing at the same time and feeling they want to do it. Our Drama Night this year was a very good examp1e. There were two occasions I particularly en- joyed, he added. One was our first At-Home after World War 11, when so many of our boys were coming back from overseas, and another was our centennial weekend. Mr. Worden would definitely not agree with those who feel that today's teen-ager is worse than the teen-ager of a generation ago. Our better youngsters are better, was his com- ment. And our poorer-well, perhaps we' re just more conscious of them. Apart from that, Pm a bit resentful of people always searching for something wrong with high school students. Certainly we have just as large a proportion of students leaving our school to work up to important positions as we ever did. Advice to today's teen-agers? I haven't any, Mr. Worden smiled. Mr. Worden parried the question of his retire- ment plans. I just intend to take things as they come, he said. But it's likely that whatever else he'11 do, his favourite sport-fishing-will be on the agenda. Whatever his plans, however, the Conning Tower, and we are sure all of Weston's students, past and present, would like to say to Mr. Worden: Many years of happy activity in your retirement! And thanks from a generation of Westonites for a job well donel . With Mr. WorC.len's retirement, Mr. Christie will become our new principal next September, Mr, Heard will become our new vice-principal, and Mr. Lancaster the new head of the mathematics depart- ment. To all of them, our very best wishes, and good luck in their responsible jobs.
