Lisgar Collegiate, as part ofnext year's Sesquicentennialcelebrations, will be only thesecond high school in Canadato receive an officially sanc­tioned coat of arms. TheLetters Patent have beenaccepted and the basic designrecently agreed upon.

The design will include"elements" from the coats ofarms of both Baron Lisgar,after whom Lisgar Street andCollegiate were named, andthe Earl of Dufferin who laidthe cornerstone of the originalbuilding. Occupying the"Fe ss" (central band) of the"escutcheon" (shield) will beour traditional logo, the lampof knowledge, and of coursethe motto will be alere flam­mam.

January 1990 marked thegenesis of the idea for Lisgar'scoat of arms as part of our150th Anniversary celebra­tions. George Toller (HeadBoy 1945) informed DougArrand, Chairman of th eLisgar 150th Committee, that ·Kingston Collegiate andVocational Institute wa s thefirst high school in Canada tobe granted a coat of arms, for

Doug Arrand approachedcolleague John Boehmer ('64)to head up the project. John,to gether wi th MichaelMeasures ('47), initiat ed theprocess of obtaining Lisgar'sCoat of Arms.

Michael Measures' repu-

l11ank you, Marie Hult

~In June 1992, the Lisgar AlumniAssociation said fond farewell toMarie (Callaghan) Hutt. Duringthe past seven years, Marie hasdonated two half-days per weekas our Association's first secre­tary. In that capacity, Mari e setup our Alumni office and estab­lished the record keeping sys­tems. She recorded all new mem­bers, issued annual membershipcards and prepared all taxreceipts for donations receivedby the Lisgar Fund . She dealtwith all correspondence efficient­ly, typed and distributed min­utes of the executive meetingsand, in general, ran the day-to­day administration of theAssociation.

Working at first out of a win­dowless, cramped office in thebasement of Lisgar, Marie main­tained her good humour. If therewas something to be done, Mariewould be there!

Marie's loyalty and tremen­dous service to Lisgar go backmany years. She grew up onCooper Street where her homewas lo~ated just behind the pre­sent Lisgar Gymnasium (todaythe site of the Park Lane Hotel).She attended Lisgar in the 1930sand years later came back toserve as Lisgar's GuidanceSecretary until her retirement in1985.

At that time, our AlumniAssociation was very much in

Thank you for thecopy of AlereFlammam . It was greatto see some of the oldnames. Mind you,they may be from asubsequent genera­tion, but brought backmemories to me ofhalf a century ago:John Aylen, David,John and PeterChance, Mr. WalterMann (a fine historyteacher), MarjorieLussier (wasn't hermaiden name Pratt?),and a few others I'msure I remember.

If anyone's inter­ested - from June '42to April '46 I was inthe Navy, and sincethen to the present, aviolinist here (radio,TV, commercialjingles, recordingsand films, mostly).It's been very interest­ing working with a lotof artists in all facetsof the music business,as a player and, quiteoften, conductor/arranger. In my pre­service days, Mr.Proctor, who was theschool's music depart­ment, was often myaccompanist, andalways was nothingshort of excellent.BillRichardsAgincourt, Ont.

John Chance kindlysent me a copy of theSpring 1992AlereFlammam and Ienjoyed reading allthe news of programsat Lisgar and thewhereabouts of mycontemporaries. Imade a copy for DinaGordon Malkin whowas a classmate ofmine both at Lisgarand at the Universityof Toronto MedicalSchool.
