HeadlinesCentenary Pride

In this issue of The LCC Lion, we pay tribute to an exceptional year of commemoration of our School’s history. Throughout 2009, we celebrated our Centenary on campus, at special events in Montreal and from coast to coast and beyond. It was indeed a very positive expression of community spirit. Students, parents, alumni, staff, board members and former employees and governors came together at a host of events to express their appreciation of LCC and what it has meant to them. What came out of this full year of celebration?

Looking back helped us all to reflect on the important stages in LCC’s development, which have laid the foundations for today’s progressive

coeducational learning environment. Special efforts were made by many to attend receptions, reunions and unique one-time events. Despite the challenges of time and distance, friends, teachers and mentors from across the decades made face-to-face connections in 2009 and noted that the LCC sense of community indeed has enduring value in all our lives.

Alumni reunions were well attended from Halifax to Victoria – and even down the eastern and western coasts of the United States where a number of our alumni currently reside. Our graduates openly expressed thanks for their formative experiences and encouraged us to continue to strive for excellence and develop confident bilingual students. Alumni

also unanimously expressed the view that every LCC boy and girl must come to grips with the challenges of globalization as they prepare for future leadership roles in their careers and in service of their communities.

Here in Montreal, we all gained a greater appreciation for the many attributes of our School. Primary students took particular pride in celebrations related to turning 100. In reflecting on our past, all students also made pledges to the future – to strive to build upon already solid foundations and appreciate more deeply the profound gift of education.

Special thanks must go to centenary co-chairs, Vic Badian ’61 and Chris Gardiner ’83. In his role as Ambassador to the alumni, Vic also attended every centenary alumni and staff reception in 2009, including receptions in California and London,

England. His special commitment to LCC during the past year is a metaphor for the professional dedication that has made a difference at our School for more than a century. In short, great schools matter. They change lives and open eyes and doors for young leaders.

As we have now begun our second century at LCC, we recommit to high standards and the energy and dedication necessary to support a truly dynamic learning community. Together, we must be prepared to be bold and leave our mark by providing an education that is second to none in Montreal. We must continue to leave an indelible stamp on young lives. Thanks to one and all for an exceptional year of memories. I look forward to being part of the next important chapter in this exciting journey. Welcome to LCC’s second century!

It was a pleasure and an honour for us to work alongside Honourary Chair, Dave Wood and the 26 members of the Organizing Committee who worked harmoniously to coordinate more than a dozen school events and a tour of alumni events. In short, the committee had its plate full—but as the saying goes: if you want something done well, give it to a busy person. This busy committee did everything we planned and more.

The Centenary year opened in style with a special student assembly in January 2009. The Centenary Song, written for the year-long celebration by Junior School Music Director James Angelopoulos, was sung by the Junior School Choir, and this was followed by a video address from Vancouver by LCC’s oldest known living graduate, John Ellis ’32. Even the Montreal Canadiens, also celebrating their Centenary, contributed a video message of good wishes.

Events involving current students and staff took centre stage throughout the school year with

everything from clothing and banners to a special Centenary history DVD, a CD featuring various student musical performances through the years and a dedicated website. A Centenary school tie was designed by Ian Griffiths ’71, and the DVD was produced by IT’s Chris Auclair, while the Music department’s Jonathan Baird coordinated the CD production. Pre-U and E-Communications Director Dawn Levy designed the website, working tirelessly with School Archivist Jane Martin to produce an online historical timeline featuring photos from the school archives.

Other events included the Centenary Speakers’ Series organized by Assistant Head Patrick Peotto; a Shakespeare in the Park evening for the general public, adapted for the Chamandy Arena stage; the Winterfest Alumni Hockey Tournament; the Centenary Golf Tournament at the prestigious Royal Montreal Golf Club; and the Family BBQ,

all of which saw high attendance. Alumni events organized nationally and internationally were also popular.

Denys Heward ’64 published his book The Bugle Sounded One Note whose proceeds are directed to the Student Bursary fund.

The 2009–2010 academic year kicked off with several events in September, commemorating the anniversary of LCC’s doors opening on September 20, 1909. A cocktail reception for current and past staff and board members, organized by Denys Heward ’64 and David Arditi ’65, was followed two evenings later by a special night exclusively for female alumni who had graduated since the inception of coeducation in 1995. Sandra Afeyan ’04 and Caitlin Rose ’99 made this event possible for the almost 75 women in attendance.

The Centenary LIONFest Alumni Weekend was next on the agenda, which included several special undertakings thanks to Director of Alumni Relations Kirk LLano. On the morning of September 26, a senior football game was held between rivals LCC and Selwyn House, with legendary coach Dave Wood in attendance, and to whom the field was rededicated with a new sign. In addition, more than 40 alumni participated in the

Centenary Alumni Soccer game and an impressive near 275 attended the evening’s Homecoming Banquet.

The crowning touch was our Centenary Gala at the Windsor Ballrooms which took place on October 24. This event was beautifully orchestrated by Olga Assaly and Donna Fraser and their dedicated committee—and attended by close to 300 guests. It was a multi-dimensional evening and featured a silent auction, dinner, dancing and a live auction that raised funds for bursaries.

The goal was to reach out to students, staff, alumni, parents and the community and include them in this celebration highlighting the wonderful history of the school’s first 100 years. We strongly believe that thanks to everyone involved—students and staff and so many others—we achieved our goal.

And as a legacy to future generations, the School decided to plant 100 new trees to mark its first 100 years. These and the Middle School’s Time Capsule, which will reveal items from 2009 when it is opened in 50 or 100 years, will enable LCC’s incredible heritage to live on for the next century—and beyond. We think these were fitting ways to culminate an amazing year of celebration!

We are embracing the environment by involving our students and community in a number of ecological projects reaching far beyond the classroom walls.

During the Centenary year, the School decided it would further its greening efforts on campus by planting 100 trees to mark each of its 100 years. In addition to this initiative, the students have actively designed, planned and planted a small urban forest, known as the LCC Tree Garden.

The School has already planted 27 hawthorne trees with the remaining 73 to be planted by fall 2010. As a community, we recognize that taking the long view is vital, and truly sustainable practices are central to ensuring future generations.

Going beyond

here is an aesthetic beauty to math,” says Doug Neal. “My favourite element is how math can be used to bring order to things that seem chaotic—how it can take something that has no logic and show a pattern, how it takes random items and quantifies them.”

That uncanny ability to provide both beauty and order are what Lower Canada College’s Head of Mathematics uses every day to awaken students to the power of mathematics. For some students, the awakening is a question of challenging them: already bright math minds, they need him to show how to understand and use their gifts. But for others—students whose fear of math is paralyzing—Mr. Neal leads the students from darkness to light.

“I show them that if they work hard, everything is within their grasp,” he says.

By teaching fluency in a language often rife with phobias, Department Head Doug Neal helps students to soar.

“I see math as the modern-day Greek: very few people speak it with fluency."“Doug is an outstanding teacher for many reasons,”

explains Headmaster Christopher Shannon (Pre-U ’76). “He has the rare gift of being able to connect to a wide range of students—from the gifted to the ones who struggle.”

And connect he does. The strong math students know that he will push them—and they welcome the challenge. “I want to place students in situations that take them out of their comfort zone—the comfort zone that they’ll ace whatever I throw their way,” he says with a chuckle. “And that creates camaraderie—we’re all in this battle to understand, to ‘get’ it. They won’t respect you if you don’t challenge them,” he explains. “They’ll look at you with an expression that says, ‘This is all you got? Really?’”

And it doesn’t stop there. The struggling students are equally engaged by Mr. Neal. “I tell them not

of the most difficult tasks as there is a “legitimized phobia” of math. “I see math as the modern-day Greek: very few people speak it with fluency. The bottom line is that math requires repetition and commitment—and through these, Doug Neal makes it a language that students can understand,” he explains.

So how does he do it? How does Mr. Neal get through to students and make math come alive? For one, he was born to it. Some people are natural teachers—and Doug Neal is one of them. He discovered it early, working with children either as a lifeguard or as a camp counselor during his teenage years. But the real conviction came when he was in CEGEP. “I was always the person everyone came to for help; I knew how to explain things,” he says. And he tells how he tutored his friends through calculus. “They would say, ‘Why is it that you are clearer than our own teachers?’” And that cinched it up: Mr. Neal wasn’t just signing on to be a teacher; he was answering a calling.

But he’ll tell you that there is one more important element that he brings to the mix: sports. His lifelong love of athletics has led him to become a coach. And being a coach has its advantages, he claims. “You become a role model. And the students soon realize that you can be good at math and be a jock. Jocks can be smart and smart kids can be jocks. They are not mutually exclusive.” It’s another way for Doug Neal to bridge the gap.

If you ask him what he loves about math, Mr. Neal will tell you he loves the order, the predictability, how everything can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. If you ask him what he loves to teach most, he’ll tell you it’s calculus because it illustrates the

“why” of much of the math one studies in high school. But if you ask him what he loves most about teaching, he’ll surprise you. The man who seems to know math inside and out will tell you that what he loves most is that he never stops learning. “Thanks to the students, I’ll spend my whole life learning. They think of things I’d never have thought of at their age,” he adds.

“I love to see that spark—to watch them soar.”

to be intimidated by those math geeks,” he explains, laughter in his voice. The gifted students, he says, are more easily motivated by the course material, and therefore don’t rely as much on the rapport with their teacher. “But for those who are math-phobic, it’s all about that rapport. It’s about creating a safe place for them to learn. They are not as competitive with each other, but they do want me to believe in them, so I work on their attitudes.” Mr. Neal finds the right level for these students—and the beauty in the chaos is that once they see they can do it, they improve.

As Mr. Shannon says, creating a positive environment in the Mathematics Department is one

More than 1,000 students, staff and invited guests gathered in the Velan Gymnasium on January 7, 2009 for an upbeat and entertaining community kick-off to our centenary year.

Following a historical review by current Headmaster Christopher Shannon (Pre-U ’76), we were treated to engaging testimonials and musical performances from Junior, Middle and Senior School students as well as an unexpected guest character – LCC’s first Headmaster Charles Fosbery! LCC’s oldest known alumnus John Ellis ’32, who now resides

in Vancouver, was unfortunately unable to attend but addressed the group via video technology. Our youngest kindergarten student Olivia Fata was recognized by 2008–2009 Head Girl Rebecca Etingen with a red rose. All in all, the assembly was a wonderful celebration and a timely reminder that we are part of a school with an incredible history and terrific students!

Student and staff representatives from across the Middle, Senior and Pre-University levels embarked on an ambitious and fun 10-kilometre walk last fall to commemorate the original location of our predecessor school – St. John the Evangelist Church in Montreal. After being met on Royal Avenue by enthusiastic students from the Junior School, we marched proudly into our weekly assembly. Following an enthusiastic rendition of our School Song, Head Boy Kirk Glowacki ’10 and Head Girl Jessica Italia ’10 lit the gigantic birthday cake – loads of fun for all!

During the Centenary year, the Junior School art students demonstrated a true example of leadership and our motto Non Nobis Solum. Their creative projects were sold in a student-run art sale during Arts Week, raising nearly $1,000 for Free the Children. For the first time, the photography club, led by teacher Lauren McCann, also participated, making for an even more dynamic show.

At the Centenary Gala, two Junior School pieces entitled “100 Birds” and “100 People” were auctioned off in support of LCC.

The event provided an excellent opportunity for new students and their parents to mingle on the LCC field with returning students and their families. Delicious aromas of fresh buttered popcorn, cotton candy and traditional barbeque fare filled the air as guests moved from activity to activity. Visitors particularly enjoyed being drawn by one of the two caricaturists hired for the occasion.

In an attempt to surpass all prior renditions of the annual BBQ, the Centenary organizing committee arranged for two brightly coloured 80-foot balloons to grace the site. What a spectacular addition indeed! Although we waited impatiently for the winds to die down, they did not cooperate and we were only able to launch one balloon on a test flight. It was a magnificent sight to behold but the winds were too strong to safely operate student rides. Nevertheless, the spirit of camaraderie was wonderful. Special kudos go to the Green Committee for its recycling efforts and for the field’s amazing state of cleanliness after the event was over. It is great to see today’s students taking these responsibilities so seriously and promoting such behaviour among their peers.

As I look back on our Centenary Year and the various celebrations we all enjoyed, one was particularly memorable for me. In September, the current Board of Governors hosted a cocktail reception for current and former Board members, staff and faculty. Having been part of the school community since 1955, I knew almost all of the “formers” and I had the pleasure of spending a few minutes catching up with a great number of them. As the evening progressed, I couldn’t help but think how fortunate Lower Canada College has been to have people of such quality involved in its history. We have had teachers who changed the lives of their students through their teaching, their

coaching or their advice, if not all three. We have had administrators who kept raising the bar and making the student experience better and better. We have had staff who didn’t hide in their offices or in the kitchen, but who became visible, important parts of the school community. And we have had Board members who gave unselfishly and provided strategic leadership which has propelled us to our current position of rank in Montreal, in Quebec and indeed, in Canada.

As I look forward, I am also heartened by the fact that our current faculty, staff, and Board members share the same qualities as their predecessors. Our future looks bright!

On September 25, 2009, LCC wrote a new page in its history by hosting the inaugural Ladies’ Night event. It was the first time in our School’s 100 years that alumnae were invited to an event that catered especially to the women of LCC… and, indeed, what great women our School has forged!

The event was a huge success and was attended in far greater numbers than anticipated! The evening began with a cocktail hour during which guests had the opportunity to catch up with each other—and with their beloved teachers—while sipping aperitifs and nibbling delicious appetizers. The evening progressed as Cheryl Doxas treated us to side-splitting stories of our high school days. One highlight of her speech involved recounting our kilt-hiking techniques with Mr. Heward ’64 demonstrating in full girl’s uniform! We ended the night with a slideshow of images that brought back many great memories.

Ladies’ Night was a unique part of LCC’s Centenary celebrations and was definitely a testament to our sense of belonging. Let’s do this again next year as we celebrate 15 years of coeducation!

Fundraising Gala

TheLCC ROARWith roaring style, close to 300 alumni and parent revellers came out on October 24, 2009 to the Windsor Ballroom to celebrate LCC’s 100 years!

Fun, elegant, warm and generous all describe this very special event. Harder to articulate, but very real nonetheless was the incredible energy, pride and emotion felt throughout the evening.

During the Centenary year, more than $500,000 was raised for student bursaries, professional development, the NDG Food Depot and the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation. Non Nobis Solum was very much the spirit of the evening and the students and School reaped the benefits.

Co-chairs Olga Assaly and Donna Fraser led the LCC Roar with grace, humour and panache, setting the tone for the evening. Our deep appreciation and thanks go out to them and their dedicated and dynamic organizing committee. Bravo!

This was a perfect evening that captured a year of celebration and launched LCC into its ever-promising future.

An unsolved MysteryBy Jane Martin, LCC Archivist

All is quiet on Royal Avenue when sometime after midnight, a lone vehicle appears and pulls up in front of the School. A shadowy figure emerges, removes a heavy object from the trunk, and heaves it to the entrance steps, setting it down with a heavy, metallic “clunk”, followed by a muted rustling noise. Task completed, the unknown visitor scans the street, reenters the vehicle, and drives off into the night.

It reads like a scene from an Agatha Christie novel, but a version of this event actually occurred sometime in the wee hours of the Lionfest Weekend last fall. Arriving early the following morning prior to athletic events on the field, LCC Ambassador Victor Badian ’61 was startled to discover a large, flat object that was actually padlocked to the steel railing alongside the front steps! A closer look revealed it to be a solid bronze LCC crest in perfect condition, almost identical to the one now hanging below the clock on the School’s façade, and likely weighing over 20 kilos.

The newly discovered crest is now in safekeeping, and although the mystery of who left it on the steps remains unsolved, Vic Badian ’61 has done some detective work to try and trace its former history at the School. Among the changes to the School’s red brick exterior over the past 100 years, the front entrance structure has been altered several times. From studying yearbook photos, Vic knows the last time the front door was flanked by two crests was during the 1996–1997 school year. Sometime during that year, one of the crests seems to have disappeared, and the remaining one was re-hung directly over the front door.

Will we ever know who made off with this unwieldy icon, kept the secret for over a decade, and then had the good grace to return it on the most important evening of the School’s Centenary year? Was this the doing of a rival athletic team, or a prank by one of LCC’s own? Whatever the answer, Headmaster Chris Shannon (Pre-U ’76) is both pleased and bemused by this turn of events. The crest’s new location is still to be decided.

It reads like a scene from an Agatha Christie Novel...

Robert Morrissey '07 “Hands for Haiti”, a benefit concert organized by Lower Canada College alumnus and Cornell University undergraduate Robert Morrissey ’07, recently raised over $3,000 for the relief effort in Port- au- Prince.

After learning of the earthquake in Haiti this past January, a familiar refrain came to mind: Non Nobis Solum. Bestowed with a sense of global citizenship and commitment to service at LCC, particularly as a result of my exposure to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Young Canadian’s Challenge and Round Square initiatives, I followed closely as the tragedy unfolded. It quickly became clear that the success of a resource- intensive relief effort would depend on financial donations. The best way for me, an ordinary university student, to support this effort was to lead and coordinate the energy, humanitarian goodwill, and generosity of my classmates.

“Hands for Haiti”, a benefit concert, was held less than three weeks after the earthquake shook Port- au- Prince. Over 300 students attended the concert, sending $3,076 to the Weill Cornell Global Health Initiative “GHESKIO” health clinics in Haiti’s capital. Most meaningful to me was the enthusiasm and support I witnessed from my peers. Twelve independent student organizations, including six musical groups, volunteered their time and resources to the event. I am proud to have shared the skills and the tools I developed at LCC to post- graduate endeavors.
