A Letter from The Lodge

one thing i have learned during my time at TCS is that, despite a long history steeped in tradition, our school is certainly not resistant to change. The School on the Hill has, over the course of its nearly 155 years, been transformed, sometimes out of necessity and often by design. The TCS Governing Body, headmasters, senior admin-istrators, faculty and staff have, not surprisingly, made significant decisions that altered the direction and culture of the School at various points. At the risk of sounding obvious, most decisions in the past were made by adults. Today, however, I note that in many cases the impetus for and embracement of change is coming from our students. And, we are a better school for it. Let us take a step back in time. The decision to incorporate the School on May 1, 1865 by our founder, Revd. William A. Johnson, and, three years later, the move to Port Hope, were clearly the biggest decisions in our history. These were followed by significant changes over the years: setbacks due to the two fires (1895 and 1928); the shift from clergy to laymen headmasters with the hiring of Dr. Philip Ketchum ’16; increases in our day student population; the development of our international community, which now sees us drawing students from close to 40 countries; the introduction of co-education; enrolment growth; and the expansion of our facilities, staff and endowment to meet this growth. All of these were significant “game changers” for TCS. But these changes were largely driven by the adults in our community. In my time at TCS, one of the most significant changes I’ve noticed is the increase in decision-making power which young people have within their families. While many years ago students

were “sent” to TCS, today students are making the decision themselves to come to our school. Young people are doing the research on which school will best meet their needs, and when they choose TCS it is because they are keen to embrace the academic rigour, the many co-curricular opportunities and the supportive, caring learning community here. At first glance, we might take this distribution of responsibility to young people as a sign that parenting is not what it used to be, or should be. But, I beg to differ when it involves education. Think of the impact on school culture in an environment where most students have chosen to be here. In many cases, our students could go to any school in the world and they chose to attend TCS. When you combine this commitment on the part of students with the dedication of our faculty and staff and the partnership of parents eager to provide the best possible education for their children, the potential is limitless. So, on that note, I look to the future with great confidence. As witnessed through our current strategic planning process, our community has demonstrated wonderful support for the School and keen insight into how we might evolve moving forward, building on the solid foundation of our past.

The 2018-2019 school year has marked my 15th year at Trinity College School. This has

prompted some reflection on my part about the School’s past and, naturally, its future.

spring 2019 I tcs news I 1

While we often speak of the beauty of our Trinity College School campus, with its historic

buildings set amongst a rolling green campus overlooking the town, those who have lived and

learned on this campus also know of the many myths that have shaped our school history.

Among the favourite legends passed down from generation to generation are our ghost stories.

We have selected a trio of the most popular TCS tales of things that go bump in the night.

revd. dr. charles j.s. bethune One thing that is clear when we speak of the ghosts of TCS is that our spectres seem to generally be of the friendly variety, more akin to angels on our shoulders. This includes the ghost of the late Revd. Dr. Charles J.S. Bethune, headmaster of TCS from 1870 to 1891 and 1893 to 1899 (split by a two-year period in which he served as school warden). Known as “The Goat” due to his impressive white beard, Dr. Bethune lived well into his nineties. But he had suffered great loss in his life, with three of his children dying at young ages (Herbert Charles in 1872 as a newborn; Edith Alice in 1874 at age 6; Agnes Emily in 1891 at the age of 21). And his wife Alice was also killed tragically. In 1898, she was travelling in a horse-drawn cab on Mill Street, Port Hope ( just down the hill from the School). When the animals bolted, Mrs. Bethune, thinking the animals were headed for the river, jumped from the cab. She was killed almost instantly. The cab driver was able to get the horses under control before they reached the water; had Mrs. Bethune stayed in the cab, she likely would have escaped injury. A year after her death, a heartbroken Dr. Bethune decided to leave TCS. But folklore tells that the spirit of Dr. Bethune returned sometime after his death in 1932, and now sits above his portrait on the wall of Osler Hall, watching over the students. Dr. Bethune was regarded as a man of high moral character and sense of duty, so it is perhaps not surprising to imagine him making sure students through the generations have stuck to the straight and narrow. Dr. Bethune is buried in Cobourg, at St. Peter’s Anglican Cemetery, near his wife and children; his gravestone reads “Blessed are the Pure in Heart.”

ellen patteson rigbyOne of the saddest deaths to shape the School was the untimely passing of Ellen Rigby, wife of headmaster Oswald Rigby, on Palm Sunday 1913. She died in The Lodge, having been ill for about a year and wanting to be at home when doctors could do no more for her. Her body was taken out of the coffin window (located on the upper floor), as was the practice of the day. But her spirit is believed to have stayed in her home, and more than one headmaster who has since resided in The Lodge claims to have witnessed her presence there. Born Ellen Patteson in London, England in 1855, she went on to become the first principal of St. Hilda’s College in Toronto and a leader in expanding post-secondary education for women. St. Hilda’s was established by Trinity College (now part of University of Toronto) as a separate residence for female students, located on Euclid Avenue; it boasted just four students when it opened in

1888. As Trinity College expanded its “experiment” of offering courses to women, St. Hilda’s grew and a new residence was constructed on the main college campus in 1899. It was at Trinity College that Ellen met Oswald Rigby, then the college’s dean of residence. They married in 1896 and she joined him in his move to TCS in 1903. To the

revd. charles howard boulden Boulden House also has its share of ghosts, but most prominent is that of its namesake, the Revd. Charles Howard Boulden. Having joined the faculty of the School in 1913, shortly thereafter he was ordained. He left the School in 1916 at the age of 25 to join the war effort as an Army Chaplain, serving with the 18th and 170th Battalions at the rank of Captain. In 1919, he returned to the School and five years later he became the first housemaster of the newly constructed Junior School. Affectionately called “Sister” due to his happy, kind nature, Revd. Boulden loved teaching and athletics, and was often coaxed into joining the students in a game. He was also remembered for always wearing his clerical robes, and this is how his ghost has been described by those who have seen it in the halls of Boulden House, happily checking in on Junior School students to this day. In one account from the 1990s, he was heard of an evening “bashing away” on a piano in the Junior School. Howard Boulden served as head of the Junior School until 1932, when he left to take over as headmaster of Lake Lodge School. Following his death, on Christmas Eve 1961, the Right Honourable Vincent Massey, Governor-General of Canada, said of Canon Boulden that he was “beloved by his students, revered by his parishioners and respected by all men.”

We’ve all heard the stories, the ones about secret tunnels travelling under the campus of Trinity College School; passageways dotting the campus that would allow someone, for example, to walk from the main classroom block to Boulden House. To assess the veracity of this claim, we went to the expert: Marcel Jauvin, assistant director of the property depart-ment. When we heard the short answer – that there are no such secret tunnels – we thought the story had ended. Instead, we learned, there is an amazing world underneath our campus buildings. From Trinity House to the W.A. Johnson Classroom Block there is a “tunnel” of sorts, which carries the School’s heating and water pipes. The tunnel begins large enough

to know a little about things that went on long ago in that building.” – Carl Sandburg, Ever the Winds of Chance

to walk into but gets smaller and smaller as it heads southwest. Its starting point is the boiler room, located on the east side basement of the classroom block. In this little seen space are visible remnants of the old coal system on which the School used to rely. Coal was dumped down into massive bins to feed the furnaces; the rounded

doorways of this system can still be seen today, as can the black iron door to the old chimney that still juts out the top of the boiler room. Mr. Jauvin enjoys taking groups of students around the campus to point out how the buildings are tied into school history, including presenting to our French classes en français. While the tunnel is certainly a favourite feature, students are also impressed by the 90-year-old individual slate tiles that cover the roofs of the main campus buildings constructed after the 1928 fire. With a lifespan of 100 years, the tiles will soon be replaced, but with a plan that respects the heritage value of these iconic features. Similarly, recent work on the old wooden doors has taken into account the vivid carvings that distinguish them. The wild boar and deer on the doors of Osler Hall were hand-carved in England, for example. The stone cornices above the Johnson Block doors, which are both beautiful and structural, were in need of repair and one had to be replaced entirely. This work was completed in a way that makes it difficult to tell which are the original three cornices and which is the replica (hint: it’s the pears!). As Mr. Jauvin reminds the students, while much of the

main area of campus was constructed in 1930, its footprint goes back to 1900 (following the first major fire). This has led to some wonderful discoveries in recent years, including the uncovering of the old TCS rink footings during construc-tion of Cirne Hall. So while our tunnel system myth may be busted (it is perhaps a relief to know that students cannot covertly travel across the campus under-ground), our buildings nonetheless have some wonderful stories to tell.

boys of TCS, she became an adored mother figure. She was particularly devoted to the TCS chapel, and during her illness, the boys of the choir would come to sing for her at her bedside. The boys served as pallbearers for her funeral, escorting her body during the service, then on to the train station, and accompanying it on its journey to Toronto and its final resting place at St. James Cemetery. Dr. Rigby never really recovered from the death of his wife, and chose to retire that same spring after 10 years as headmaster, although he and his children were involved in the life of the School for many years thereafter. In Ellen Rigby’s obituary in The Record, it is written: “Mrs. Rigby was a woman of singular sweetness of disposition combined with force of character and initiative, of a kind charity, of cheerful outlook, of remarkable patience and steadfast endur-ance under suffering, and of unassuming piety. The silence that fell upon the school on the Monday morning, and which prevailed until the boys left on Tuesday, spoke eloquently of the love and esteem in which Mrs. Rigby was held by all connected with Trinity College School.” If one is to be visited by a spirit from the afterlife, there is likely no finer ghost than that of Ellen Rigby.


from the archives

this story begins with a short email sent to my good friend, David Fisher ’93, who works in the School’s philanthropy & alumni office. One day last April he heard from David Sutton ’57 about Flying Officer Robert “Bob” Frederick McBride ’36, a survivor of the Great Escape, including information prepared by Bob’s son Peter and shared by Bob’s daughter, Joan. This exchange revealed a new story of TCS war history, of the Great Escape and Bob McBride’s role in this important event of World War II. The Great Escape was a blockbuster American film starring Steve McQueen, James Garner and Richard Attenborough. The film diverges from reality in several respects, but in 2014, journalist and historian Ted Barris wrote The Great Escape: The Untold Story to

highlight the crucial role Canadians played in building the tunnels and in the escape itself. I shared this new story with my students and it became the basis for a project for a few Grade 12 history students. The article that follows is based on the summative project by Grade 12 student Avery Quantrill ’19. Avery writes about Robert McBride’s role at Stalag Luft III as a “penguin” and how he narrowly escaped death and, also, the broader context of the legacy of TCS prisoners of war. She researched archival files, Headmaster Philip Ketchum’s correspon-dence during the war, external sources and many other materials online. Thank you, Avery, for your perseverance, dedication and interest in history.

As school archivist I am often privy to unique stories of Trinity College School’s history;

connections within our TCS community bestow on us the legacies of stories untold. It is

a privilege to learn about these connections and to share them with our students and the

greater school community.

“The Penguin” Robert McBride ’36


who was robert mcbride ’36?Robert McBride had two great years at Trinity College School, from 1934-1936. He was one of the boys to start TCS’s first orchestra, called “The Troubadours.” He was known for being “charismatic,” full of energy and for his participation in competi-tive sports. He played Middleside football, scoring many touchdowns leading to a victory versus St. Andrew’s and a tie against Port Hope High School. After a successful season, he was rewarded with Colours for football. McBride also participated on the Middleside basketball team. He was a valuable player on the tennis team, winning the School’s doubles tournament. Bob enlisted in the Canadian military upon graduating Trinity College School. He earned his “wings” on May 27, 1941 then was sent to RCAF Station Char-lottetown to attend a celestial navigation course. In September 1941, he was sent overseas where he continued his training before being assigned to 415 Squadron on November 4. After being struck down in one of his missions, McBride was sent to Stalag Luft III by train. He was part of the “X team” that planned the well-known “Great Escape.”

mcbride and his crewBob’s all-Canadian crew included Sergeant Alexander Morris Henning Robertson, the observer/navigator, as well as Sergeants Paul R. Ramage and Gordon W. Clubb, who were the wireless operators/air gunners. They were a tight knit crew. One of his crew members was quoted saying, “McBride could make toasted Spam taste like ham at Dinty Moore’s on Ste. Catherine Street.” They flew from many RAF Stations including: Thorney Island, Leuchars, St. Eval, Abbotsinch, North Coates and Tain. Their first mission was flown on April 28, 1942. The crew completed 16 missions over the next six months and Bob was commissioned and promoted to Flying Officer.

The crew was unfortunately captured during an anti-shipping operation. During the mission, McBride’s engine was struck and caught fire, forcing the crew to land on the nearby French coast. Little did they know the beach was occupied by German soldiers who would take them to Stalag Luft III, prisoner of war camp.

McBride and crew at Stalag Luft III

prison life and the great escapeAfter a short stay in the hospital, Bob was sent by train to Stalag Luft III, located in Sagan, Poland. McBride was quickly integrated into the “X team” that planned the Great Escape. Bob played the role of a “penguin,” meaning he would carry the soil from digging elsewhere in the camp to avoid suspicion. During the escape, Bob was captured and sent back to camp. Thankfully, the commander of Stalag Luft III refused to execute McBride and the three other men captured and he continued to live in the camp. A short while later, Bob and another prisoner had the chance to steal a German

vehicle and eventually make their way home. They made it back to Montreal on May 30, 1945, in time for McBride’s fourth wedding anniversary. While at the camp, McBride kept a detailed wartime journal that held many sketches and poems created by himself and the other POWs. This is one of Robert McBride’s poems:

PRISON CAMP

Day follows day in dull monotony;

The sun hangs heavy in the changeless sky,

Dust devils eddy down the sandy road,

The long drab rows of huts lie mute within

The shadow of the encircling wire –

And this is life.

The hours slip silent to eternity.

The days stretch into weeks, the weeks to years…

Time ages, yet its features do not change;

Time sweeps along on feet that never move –

Feet fettered by the wires weightless bond.

With night comes sleep.

And sleep brings dreams to flaunt these

timeless days

And life runs sweetly as it did before –

Bright eyes, sweet lips, cool drinks, good food,

soft beds –

The thousand fantasies of vanished peace

Till morning light returns with hopeless hope.

TCS POWs in World War IIthe listThe list at right shows the 14 Old Boys who were prisoners of war. This list was most likely created by the headmaster’s office or the Old Boys’ Association. The dates down the left side are the years the Old Boys served in the Second World War. It is important to note that Canadian soldiers brought to Oflag VII B would have been captured in the battle of Dieppe and brought directly to the camp. And, the Old Boys who were detained at Oflag 79 were most likely to have been captured in the North African Campaign and flown back to the camp in Germany.

the campsThe POW camps the prisoners stayed at would have been less than ideal. However, prisoners were provided with clothing, water, beds and minimal food.

the pow letter regulationsThere were many rules and regulations for letters and parcels being sent or received by prisoners of war, set out by the Canadian government. Family members and close family friends of the prisoners were the only ones allowed to send them letters. To send a package the family would require special pink or blue tags in order for the prisoner to receive his package. All letters would be reviewed and approved by the Department of National War Services.

ralph johnson on life at stalag luft iii… Ralph M. Johnson ’39 attended Trinity College School from 1933-1939 and went on to serve in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was unfortunately captured by the Germans and brought to Stalag Luft III. Johnson was released from the camp in April of 1945. This is a letter he had sent to his worried parents where he mentions Bob McBride. His review of camp life is reflective of the stories, photographs and illustrations in Barris’ book about the Great Escape.

Dearest Mother & Dad,

Another change of camps, but I hope it will be the last. Have had quite a jaunt around the country, but am glad to be getting once more settled down. We are far better off than we were, as we have a large room for eight people, and we are now in the process of trying to make it into a home. Many Canadians are here, but most of the Montrealers are in another compound, and we do not get a chance to mix. But Bob McBride is close by, and he has been kind enough to supply me with cigarettes until my own begin to come again. Pete Roper is in the same room with me, and the other Canadians who were with me in Italy are also near by. We have no communal messing as we did in Italy, so we spend much of our time cooking meals from Red Cross food parcels. Peter has served us some exceptional dinners. We have big playing fields and are hoping to play hockey this winter. It is a well organized camp, and some of the POWs have had lots of experience. I managed to salvage one chemistry book when I left Italy (we were not allowed to bring our books and athletic equipment with us, in fact very little else), and have been working hard at it. I am also trying to do some classic reading. There is a fair library here and many facilities for study. I hope soon to be digging into an engineering course, as I have decided that a degree is essential to my post-war plan of life. I saw my first movie yesterday, since I was taken prisoner, and although it was all in German, I enjoyed it thoroughly. We also saw a play last night which surpassed any acting I have yet seen on a Kriegie stage. Christmas is approaching, the season when there is no substitute for home, but let’s hope this one will be the last spent away from you. Our festivities are, as you can well imagine, limited, but I can foresee a far better Christmas this year than last. Best wishes for the season to you and all my friends.

Best love,Ralph

growing up in nearby Alderville First Nation, Sarah Brascoupé Funnell’s first experience of TCS was competing in a public speaking event at the then all-boys school (where she won an award for her dramatic reading of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven). The beauty of the historic campus immediately drew her in. “Dead Poets Society was a huge cinematic success at that time,” she recalls, “and I fell in love with the School the moment I saw it.” She would have to wait for the School to make the transition to co-education before joining the first class of girls to attend TCS. It was an eye-opening experience. “Growing up in a small First Nations community, I didn’t know many people from other provinces and countries – TCS introduced me to many people from many walks of life.” The School also led her to try new things, including sports like swimming and tennis, where she had fun partnering with Arundel (Strathy) Gibson ’93. And she became the first ever girl to represent TCS in debating when she participated in the fall Fulford League debate, where she had the team’s highest score of the tournament. The public speaking skills she learned through debating have helped her throughout her career, she notes. “As a public health specialist and a leader in Indigenous health, I am often called upon to speak publicly

on many health and social issues.” Her interest in politics and its social impact was also sparked here by faculty member Chris Robert, she says. Sarah headed west to pursue a science degree, but struggled academically after her mother passed away from cancer while Sarah was a student at the University of British Columbia. Her hopes of becoming a doctor appeared to be dashed, but she did enter the health care field as an x-ray technologist, first in Vancouver and then at Stanford University. “It was there that my dream of pursuing medicine was resurrected. I worked alongside some amazing radiologists and cardiologists who, along with my husband (Scott), really encouraged me to apply to medicine.” When she didn’t get into medical school on her first try, she decided to pursue an honours degree in Canadian studies and law at Carleton. It was a watershed moment for her as a young Indig-enous woman. “I was awoken to the history of our country in a way that had never been explained to me before. This was when I found the words to describe the many instances of racism that I had experienced in my life. This was where I made the connec-tions between socioeconomic status and health.” While a student, she and her husband started their family and her drive to improve the health care experience became even more intense. “I grew to the realization that my future career in medicine was about more than me pursuing my own dreams for my own benefit. It became more of a calling to make Canada a better place for my children and for Indigenous people as a whole.” In 2009 Sarah was accepted into the medicine program at the University of Ottawa and never looked back. Now married for 15 years and with three daughters – Ruby (11), Grace (10) and Joanna (8) – Sarah wears many hats professionally. In addition to being a family physician, she was named director of Indigenous health in the Department of Family Medicine at Queen’s University last fall, at the same time becoming associate medical officer of health at Ottawa Public Health; she is co-chair of the College of Family Physicians of Canada’s Indigenous Health Working Group and a member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada’s Indigenous Health Advisory Committee. These roles allow her to effect change on multiple levels: she provides primary care one day per week at Akwesasne First Nation; she is an award-winning teacher and works on curriculum through her positions with the colleges; and, she has the ability to effect change at the systemic level through her public health work. “I see my role as a physician being to improve medical education, push for better social conditions, address racism and encourage appropriate and respectful research and engagement with Indigenous groups/communities,” Sarah explains. “In order

classmates of claudia Sanchez ’07 might have imagined her pursuing a career on the stage. After all, she admits some of her best memories of the School are of her involvement in theatre, where she was a cast member in productions as varied as the musical Nunsense and the military drama A Few Good Men. “I loved how the shows would slowly come together as everyone learned their lines and we figured out the staging,” she recalls. “There really isn’t anything like opening night. We used to have these wild dance parties to pump up for the shows… I still can’t hear (the song) Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger without being right back in LeVan Hall.” Her commitment to the drama program, as well as the vocal music program, earned her Distinction in the arts as well as the Stevenson Award for Best Actor and the 1970 Trophy for Special Contribution to the Arts. But Claudia’s life at the School went well beyond the arts. Having visited her “impossibly smart and cool” older brother, Julian ’01 during his time here, she was excited to take on the rigour of a TCS education. She was a consistently outstanding academic, a Distinction recipient in community service, winner of the Tom Lawson Senior House Debate Trophy on behalf of Wright House, and in her final year was appointed a school prefect. In the classroom, she was drawn to the science curriculum, building on a foundation created by her parents: her mother studied chemistry and her father is a civil engineer. So, when she graduated she headed to New York’s Columbia University to pursue her degree in civil engineering, with a concentration in structures. “I loved learning about beautiful bridges and tall buildings,” she says, which made the Big Apple a perfect place to study. “I would make any family visiting walk across the Brooklyn Bridge with me to look at the skyline.” That said, the city was a big adjustment for a girl from Cobourg, and classes were challenging. “Eventually, I accepted that I needed to ask for help in managing school and my stress. Once I did, there were so many people that were willing and happy to support me because they wanted me to succeed. I’ve had to learn this lesson a few more times – in life and at work – and I’m always so grateful.” One particular course at Columbia, in transportation engi-neering, sparked an interest and, after graduating in 2011, she moved into this field with her first job. Having worked and trained at large multi-disciplinary engineering firms, she was excited to join the transportation focused BA Group as a transportation engineer in 2016. “I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects of all sizes and good design always comes back to improving the movement of people, whether they are travelling by cars, transit, or active modes of transportation,” she says. “I think one of the most important skills for a transportation engineer is the ability to anticipate how users will interact with your design. It’s the difference between a design that is technically accurate and one

Claudia Sanchez ’07

that is effective.” She uses the example of a well-worn path, one that has been created by the footprints of users and shows the way people truly move through a space. Good design anticipates and builds on this kind of movement. Another gratifying aspect of her work is that the results are tangible. “My proudest moments are seeing one of my designs being built and used,” Claudia notes. “The first time I got to experience it was when I was in a town-ship north of the city and drove down the main street that I had designed. It wasn’t a very big project, but it was still thrilling.” And while she still loves the arts – she currently sings in a band with several of her colleagues – she is very happy to be working in a STEM-based career. To young women pursuing a profession in science, technology, engineering or math, she gives this advice: “You deserve to be here and we need your voice in the room. I would never say that it’s easy to be in a male-dominated profession, and we owe a great debt to the women that paved the way before us, but I find a lot of hope in the many ways that I’ve seen women supporting other women in this field; whether it’s at networking events or casual get-togethers where we remind each other of the value we bring to the table.”

Engineering a rewarding career path


the tcs u.k. foundation and U.K. Branch of alumni have created a new award to support student travel. The U.K. Travel Award benefited from a lead donation by U.K. Foundation chair and TCS trustee, Geoff Cannon ’69, and his wife, Jill. Formally launched in December 2018, the first awards have been presented in the 2018-2019 school year to assist students with the cost of academic or co-curricular travel to the U.K. or Europe. Initially, the new award will focus on two annual travel opportunities: the March Break Grade 10 Travel History/English tour of Europe and the Grade 12 English summer course at Cambridge University. Each year, the School will receive applications and designate the award based on several factors, including financial need, good standing in the School and keenness to participate. We thank the Cannons for their lead donation, and the U.K. Branch for its support of this new travel award program.

Alumni Spotlight: Sarah Brascoupé Funnell ’93(Continued from page 10)

to improve the health of Indigenous people, there needs to be changes at multiple levels – beginning with the education and training of health professionals.” Specifi-cally, she stresses the importance of health care providers understanding the colonial history of Indigenous people and its impact on their socioeconomic conditions, which are connected to their health. “Racism is ingrained in a lot of our systems and we don’t even realize it, including the health care system. These types of efforts promote culturally safe care where Indigenous people experience health care services free of racism and discrimination – sadly, many Indigenous people continue to experience unacceptable care.” And this racism must not just be talked about on a personal level, but also as a systemic issue that is addressed at an organizational level, she adds. One key is to approach relation-ships and interactions with Indigenous people with cultural humility – this means reflecting on bias, building trust, main-taining respect, and listening and learning about others’ experiences. Of Algonquin and Tuscarora ancestry, Sarah has come to understand how fortu-nate she is to have grown up surrounded by Indigenous culture. Her father, Simon, is a prominent First Nations artist; in fact, it was the money he received for a mural commissioned by Ottawa’s Heart Institute, funds which her mother had saved, that paid for Sarah’s TCS education. And her stepfather is a former Chief of Alderville First Nation who was an avid hunter, fisherman and gatherer of rice. “I grew up never having to pay for fresh food and wild rice. As a teenager, I didn’t realize how lucky I was to have access to traditional foods.” As she settles into her new roles with Ottawa Public Health and Queen’s University, Sarah reflects that, while her path to becoming a doctor and a voice for Indigenous people within the health care community was not a straightforward one, she is richer for the many bends in the road.

Kenneth A.C. Scott ’43 july 15, 1924 – march 20, 2019

In March, the School learned of the passing of a truly devoted Old Boy, Ken Scott ’43. An honorary trustee and year chair, in 2018 Ken was presented with one of the School’s highest honours, the Colin T. Brown ’75 Leadership Medal, in recognition of his service to the School.

Born in India, Ken grew up in England and was attending Repton when the war forced his evacuation to Canada. He came to TCS in 1940, along with his brother, Colin Scott ’45, and cousin, Andrew Duncan ’42. As a war guest, Ken embraced all facets of life at the School on the Hill. He was a gifted athlete who was captain and earned First Team Colours in soccer, and was a co-captain of the Little Big Four championship cricket team, earning Colours and a Distinction Cap. Ken was awarded the trophy as best batsman and, as noted in The Record: “R.W.V. Robins, the noted English Test Match Captain and Player, called Scott one of the best school boy bats he had seen.” Ken sang in the choir and served as head sacristan; he played Captain Corcoran in a production of H.M.S. Pinafore, was an assistant on The Record and, in his graduating year, was named a prefect of the School. Ken was eager to do his part for the war effort, following his cousin Andrew,

her classes, visiting with them often and even surprising them with a Christmas party. In 2008, the Junior School produced a Remembrance Day play that honoured the life of Andrew Duncan and Ken spoke movingly about his cousin, his war memories and the importance of working towards peace. This past November, knowing Ken would be unable to attend Remembrance Day at the School, the Grade 5 students placed poppies around the white cross bearing Andrew Duncan’s name. Outside of TCS, Ken was a committed supporter of the Navy League and Sea Cadets, and was chair of the Navy Centennial Committee for Northumberland. He was an active member of Probus and other business and charitable organizations. When he moved to nearby Rose Glen Village residence, he maintained his connection with the School, including providing stories for the 150th anniversary history book project and serving as honorary captain of the 150th anniversary cricket match between Upper Canada College and TCS. In November 2017, Ken moved to a retirement residence in Goderich, closer to his family. The Junior School hosted a special chapel service to mark this occasion, paying tribute to Ken and his contributions to the School. Ken has left a legacy at the School on the Hill that will live on in future genera-tions of students, particularly through his devotion to preserving and sharing our school history. We will miss him greatly. Our thoughts are with Ken’s children, Nancy Zurbrigg (Gil), Michael Scott (Arden), Susan Good (Brian) and Jamie Scott (Heather), and his grandchildren, Terri Zurbrigg (Michael), Sandra Castle (Shane), Jennifer Good, Cameron Scott and Phaedra Scott. We also send sympa-thies to Ken’s godson, John Wheeler ’72, son of the late Alden Wheeler ’43.

who had already headed overseas and was serving with the Grenadier Guards. Joining the Royal Canadian Navy, Ken started his training at Cornwallis, graduating as a Sub Lieutenant. He later served on the HMCS Crescent, where he wrote to Headmaster Philip Ketchum of his crewmates, Old Boys Jim Parr ’41 and D.M. “Bim” Waters ’39. In 1945, Ken was devastated to learn of Andrew’s death, at the age of 20, on Good Friday at Aalten, Netherlands. Following the war, Ken returned to Canada, graduating from McGill Univer-sity and shortly thereafter meeting his wife of 47 years, Caroyl. Ken enjoyed a long and successful career with Dominion Life in Kitchener. In 1997, he moved back to Port Hope, a return that benefited the School greatly. Ken attended Remembrance Day services, providing students with a direct and personal link to Canada’s war history. He developed a special relationship with Grade 5 teacher Heather McClure and


John Dumaresq de Pencier ’49may 5, 1930 – december 18, 2018

Four years ago, when we had mom’s funeral I was aghast to realize that somehow Praise My Soul the King of Heaven made it on to the program; no one would dispute that it’s a lovely piece, but it has the doubtful associa-tion of being the school hymn of Upper Canada College, and therefore as appropriate at a service involving my father as, say, Jeremy Corbyn showing up on Christmas morning at #10 to go a wassailing over a glass of the nog with

the PM; no such mistake today, Blest Are the Pure in Heart was a fixture, and there could be no better epitaph for dad than “Beati Mundo Corde.” My earliest recollections of Dad were around allowance where he wrote out each of mine, Jose’s, Jan’s and Michelle’s amount on cardboard. Amounts were measured in nickels, dimes, and the E.P. Taylor amount of a quarter which I never quite imagined I’d get. Cardboard was also used for a far less pleasant memory, that of learning times tables. Poor Dad. Somewhere along the way he drew the conclusion that he had to drill his untalented son in the fundamentals of arithmetic. This was but a prelude to presenting him with some fairly disgraceful report cards, a bracing tonic with no euphemism whatsoever: some bon mots included: “Grammar slides off of Adam like water off a duck,” “knows nothing, cares less,” and “Adam is incapable of rational thought”; this last one even got my atten-tion, as even I could surmise that the total lack of any rational faculty would not be conducive to enjoying the holidays. And I didn’t really want to test dad’s patience any more than I already had; or my mother’s; if Dad was the salt of the earth, Mum was the pepper. At all events, I accrued said reportage by the end of Grade 6, and the next fall presented my credentials to TCS where my father endured several more years of these ripostes, and then some. Dad was very proud of his TCS association, and as board chair steered the School through several changes, including the building of Burns House. Both he and the head of the day, Angus Scott, saw that co-education should be in the School’s future given the nature of the contemporary classroom and changing views on boarding. However, Dad also grasped the community wasn’t there yet, but ever the strategist he was instrumental in bringing Rodger Wright to the School as Angus’ successor, thus ushering in a bright, fresh new era. Dad treated what Kipling called

those two imposters – triumph and disaster – in an even-handed way, but he was so patient of the latter and rejoiced so much in the former that I can never forget his characteristic open smile and laughter when something went well. And by well, this meant finishing in the top half of the class not the bottom, passing my driver’s test on the third go, or finally figuring out how to play the bagpiper’s dreaded movement of the taorluath. Dad loved the pipes and if not for him I’d never have taken them up. He bought me my first practice chanter and indeed pipes themselves, a magical Christmas present and it would be harder to imagine who was the happier, he or me. Simply put, it took very little to please dad. Dad was preternaturally good tempered. I hardly even saw him become angry – ever, and he had more than enough reason to be. I never heard him swear; once, anytime, anywhere. However, I now grasp that dad’s outward good disposition and character was not always matched by a requisite equanimity. Yes, he seldom brooded, and I think always slept well. But being a husband, father of four, and managing a busy business and service career certainly carried a strain. It has taken me a long time to grasp just how much pressure he was actually under, and how he worried on all our behalves. In Dad’s case this concern was refracted into practical plans of action to help us remedy whatever the problem was. He never enabled us, but he was ready to recommend a strategy for deployment, and if the cost of this was a mortified teenaged response, well, he had already accounted for that and was prepared accordingly. Dad was graceful; a natty dresser, a neat trim figure, the proverbial tall dark, and handsome. He loved, along with brother Michael, watching Wayne Gretzky play hockey

In December 2018, Trinity College School learned of the passing of one of its most dedicated Old Boys, John de Pencier ’49. Former chair of the TCS Board of Governors, John served as a trustee and, most recently, honorary trustee of the School.

His son, Adam de Pencier ’78, former dean of faculty at TCS and past head of four different North American independent schools, spoke at John’s memorial service. Below is an expanded version of that tribute.

because “The Great One” was grace personified. Ditto for Jean Beliveau; Dad told me that the Canadiens’ captain was a gentleman who happened to play hockey. Dad bestowed grace on others, and that was his genius. Grace, if I understand it, is a gift from God that he wants us to have, whether we deserve it or not, and usually we don’t. So throughout Dad’s entire life, he was endlessly generous of his time, his energy, his talent, to help others. From TCS to Trent University to the some dozen organizations he championed. Dad’s grace was his art. And art does not come easy. Our family was the canvas he loved best, and it’s we who are his greatest beneficiaries.

On behalf of the TCS community, our deepest condolences go to John’s family, including his children Joseph (Veronica Nunn), Jan (Geoffrey Seaborn), Adam ’78 (Jane LaMantia) and Michèle (Michael Eastmure), his brother Michael de Pencier ’53 (Honor), his grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. Part of a three-generation TCS legacy family, John’s father Joseph was a member of the class of 1916 and, most recently, his nephews Christopher Rodgers ’79 and Mark de Pencier ’89 graduated from the School, as did Adam and Jane’s niece, Ava Grier ’16. A fourth generation will arrive at TCS in September when Mark’s daughter, Jasmine de Pencier ’23, joins the School.
