The President’s Message

In May, Saint John High School received welcome news when the provincial government announced a 21.6 million investment into upgrades for the school. Renovations are underway and expect to be completed over the next five years. Targeted areas include the roof, replacement of all windows, work on the sand-

stone exterior, and upgrades to class-rooms. All washrooms and the changing rooms will receive a major facelift along with the gymnasium and the pool area. The reno-vations will extend the lifespan of the school by an estimated 30+ years. While this may result in some minor temporary inconven-ience to current students it is a small sacri-fice to ensure that future generations will come to know the Greyhound way of life. It has been over 30 years since the school last underwent a major renovation. At that time I was a grade 11 student. I remem-

ber well the drafty portable classrooms on Canterbury Street, the many sounds of construction equipment reverberating through the halls and the loss of our beloved "breezeway". The end result though was worth it as the school was outfitted with new computer labs, a modern library and significant upgrades to the electri-cal systems. As my own children now begin to enter their high school years things have come full circle. It is satis-fying to see with this recent funding announcement that the history and traditions of the "Red & Gray" are being protected for future generations to experience. It is important to remember though that "bricks and mortar" are only one part of the unique spirit of Saint John High School. I recently had the privilege to address the graduating class of 2018 at the gradua-tion ceremony this past June. One of the things I tried to bring home was the importance of the lifelong friendships that blossom during the high school years. As one wise member of my own graduating class eloquently stated: "Saint John High School is just a building...Bricks, mortar, steel and glass. A building like millions of others. What makes it special however are the people who walked its halls. The people you came of age with...The people you love even though you may not have known it 30 years ago..." I hope my own children make those lasting, lifelong friendships as they begin their High School journey. I want to thank all of the Alumni who have generously contributed to the Alumni fund over the past year. Your contributions play a vital role in ensuring that the school can continue to offer its students the pre-eminent academic and extra-curricular high school experience in the Province. Through your generous contributions the school's administration is able to purchase lab equipment, textbooks, technology equip-ment and uniforms that it would otherwise not have the funding to purchase. Every dollar you contribute has a direct impact on the student population. Thank you for your contributions and I hope you will continue to generously support Saint John High School by contributing to the Alumni Fund. Finally, I want to take an opportunity to thank one of our board members, Richard Thorne, who recent-ly retired from the Alumni Board of Directors. Mr. Thorne, who taught at Saint John High and was vice-principal from 1980-2000, has been a tireless supporter of the Alumni since his retirement from teach-ing. He has volunteered hundreds of hours to the publication of the Alumni news in his role as Editor-in-Chief. We will miss his historical knowledge, quick wit, sage advice and editorial skill.

A Message from the Principal Greetings from the hallowed halls of Saint John High School! As an Alumnus of the class of ’ 1 I never really had an appreciation of the role that the Alumni plays in helping our students get the best possible education that we can give them. Since arriving as the principal in the Fall of ’1 I have seen how the generosity of our Alumni has helped us to purchase educational tools in various forms that we are not able to acquire within the regular school budget. We cer-tainly encourage our staff to let the students know that we are receiving gifts from our Alumni that we would not other-wise be able to purchase.

As many of you will remember, SJHS is open to students, past and present. This past summer I was a guest of the class of 1968, at their 50th reunion dinner. This class has created a legacy project of all of our school composite photos from 1898 until the present. A digital pho-to was taken of each graduation composite and has been uploaded to the sjhigh.ca website. Our webmaster, Paul Saulnier (class of 2004), has developed webpages to display the compo-sites and we encourage you to visit these pages and reminisce, as you peruse the photos of your-self and your classmates. We thank the Class of for their am-bitious and generous donation to the school archives and to Paul Saulnier, a sincere thank you for the effort to produce the webpage.

The Alumni support of all of the scholarships, mate-rials, and equipment that our students have received over many years surpasses none. Every department has bene-fited from your annual giving: high tech calculators for mathematics, Shakespearean texts for individual annota-tion for our English classes, scientific textbooks, profes-sional learning for staff, and financial assistance for our IB program – the list is endless. The one thing that I can guar-antee, though, is that your generosity sets us apart from other High Schools. As many of you may be aware, SJHS was awarded a 21.6 million upgrade set to start in the spring of 2019. For those of you who lived through the last one in 1985, you know how exciting and important this upgrade will be to continue the legacy of our school. We will see major repairs to the roof, and sandstone on the exterior, new win-dows, major repairs to the pool area, a new gym floor and bleachers, a new cardio/weight room, new washrooms, and the addition of a culinary tech lab. There will be many other upgrades as well: new LED lighting for the class-rooms, new electrical and heating systems, the repainting of walls, and some minor repairs in the auditorium. As you can imagine, we are very enthusiastic awaiting the start. I know that I would be speaking on behalf of all of our students and staff when I say thank you to the Alumni for all that you do to support us. Your generosity does not go unnoticed. We appreciate the time that the Alumni Board spends in helping to make SJHS a great place to be. If you are in the area on Dec. 7th, please feel free to drop in for the annual pan-cake breakfast (remember you could have a puppy or a hound), and again on the 8th for the annual bazaar!

Thank you for all that you do, and your generous support.

Vita Vitalis! Lori Wall, Class of 1981 Principal

Andrew Garrod Andrew Garrod received an honorary Doctor of Letters from the University of New Brunswick in May 2017 an award much deserved for a distinguished career as an educator in Canada, the United States, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwanda and the Marshall Islands. Andrew Garrod taught for sixteen years at Saint John High School and directed 35 plays (and oversaw more than a few student productions). He was a mentor to young col-leagues, students and an effective and caring classroom teacher. Andrew served as Department Head of English and introduced Canadian Literature to students. Aside from three drama productions per year, Andrew and Da-vid Carter had founded an eclectic student club called

Peripatetics with student and teacher led discus-sions ranging from the theatre of the absurd to music, town planning or novels. Andrew Garrod also taught at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John where he was much re-garded by his students.

In the community Andrew Garrod was a key mem-

ber of the Saint John Arts Council and directed many of their produc-tions ranging from operettas, to demanding musicals or a summer tour-ing production of Christopher Frye’s Sleep of Prisoners.

Andrew Garrod arrived at Saint John High School in 1962 having com-pleted a BA and MA in English at Oxford. His earlier education was at Sherborne School in Dorset. He completed his National Service as a Royal Marine and served in Cyprus which was an active theatre of war for Britain at the time.

Andrew broke his service at Saint John High School in 1975 to complete his Masters of Education de-gree at Harvard University. He studied under Lawrence Kohlberg a leading psychologist in the study of moral development. Returning to SJHS for two additional years, Garrod soon returned to Harvard to complete his PhD in 1982 in the same field. Most of his career was spent in the Department of Educa-tion at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire serving as the Director of Teacher Education and where he remains as Professor Emeritus. Although retired from Teacher Education, Andrew Garrod is hardly re-tired. He has used his talents as a teacher, his ability to engage young people through drama and his commitment to problem solving in fragile areas of the world. Romeo and Juliet staged in Bosnia-Herzegovina with a Muslim Romeo and a Catholic Juliet; Rwanda and Juliet in Rwanda itself and

Shakespearean plays and musicals most recently, Grease in the Marshall Islands are projects in which Andrew Garrod has committed himself. Robert Brym, a University of Toronto Sociol-ogy professor, a SJHS graduate of 1969 and a lead in Royal Hunt of the Sun, stated that he (Garrod) took youths who were uncertain of their identities and direction and “showed them how to accomplish common collective task in the full glare of the public spotlight. [He] turned us into young adults who saw outlines of our future selves sufficiently clear that we could move forward with confidence and purpose.”

The Andrew Garrod years and the develop-ment of the dramatic arts - an excerpt drawn

from A Tradition of Excellence: The History of Saint John High School 1805—2005 including the “missing page” and some additional notes.

Edgar Moore left SJHS in the spring of 1963 to his native United States, after eight years at SJHS. He had originally come to Saint John because his wife was the sister of the much loved music teacher of St. Vincent’s, Joyce Lumb. The 1963 Yearbook comment was that “he has unveiled a great musical and dramatic potential among the students and staff of SJHS. His leadership has given new impetus to our school spirit and our appreciation of his productions has been so great, that it is evident Mr. Moore’s influence will not end with his departure”

Those yearbook words proved to be prophetic. Assisting Edgar Moore in the 1963 production of Pirates was a young British teacher, Andrew Garrod. Until his departure from SJHS in 1978, Andrew’s name was synonymous with drama at SJHS. He was the first director to stage full Shakespeare-an plays and his Twelfth Night in 1964 began the tradition of having both a Shakespearean produc-tion and a musical pro-duction. Andrew Gar-rod stated “ I told Dr. Harrison I wanted to do a Shakespeare comedy and he said whatever you want at that time Shakespeare was very uncommon at high school as many considered it too difficult for students I thought Shakespeare was deeply transformative for the students.”

By the mid-1960s the main stage plays had included Shakespeare’s King Lear, Much Ado About Noth-

Musical Grease 2018 in the Marshall Islands

ing and As You Like It as well as Miller’s The Crucible and Elliott’s Murder in the Cathedral. Murder in the Cathedral was staged in Trinity Anglican Church marking a departure from drama performances in Room 3. The following year Andrew Garrod mounted Peter Schaeffer’s Royal Hunt of the Sun as an adven-turesome production in the main theatre. This served to blaze the trail for full stage Shakespearean pro-ductions in the 1970’s. Andrew Garrod directed and David Carter was musical director for the Gilbert and Sullivan musicals, Yeoman of the Guard, Gondoliers and Ruddigore as well as the Broadway shows West Side Story, Brigadoon, South Pacific and Carousel. The Drama Club members sold tickets, de-signed and put up posters, and sold refreshments at the performances, in order to fund these perfor-mances. Friendly rivalry between homerooms helped ticket sales as well as the reputation of the perfor-mances which produced their own loyal fans who eagerly awaited the new productions.

The early 1970s brought about a new tradition of three major productions a year. The Little Theatre or “Room 3” plays, often a Restoration Comedy, were performed in the fall, the Shakespeare play in late February and the musical in the spring.

• 1970-71 The Rivals, MacBeth and Guys and Dolls

• 1971-72 Poor Bitos, Hamlet and Fiddler on the Roof

• 1972-73 School for Scandal, King Lear and Annie Get Your Gun

• 1973-74 She Stoops to Conquer, Romeo and Juliet and My Fair Lady

• 1974-75 Three One-Act Plays, Midsummer Nights Dream and West Side Story

This tradition would last until 1975 when the students began to direct and perform the Room 3 plays themselves.

The years from 1970 to 1978 were ones of high intensity not only for the students but also for the teach-ers who headed up the large crews necessary to create what were often referred to as the “Metro Goldwyn Garrod” productions. Bob Edwards on musical direction, George Fry on set design, Jon Simp-son on set construction, Richard Thorne on lighting, Sandra (Keirstead) Thorne on costumes and other teachers on make-up, props and stage crew, devoted hours of after-school time to the productions and to working with the students. Sylvia Silver, Terry Gregory, Sheila Ross and Judy Scott also worked on the productions and gave expert help in the areas of props, make-up and choreography. Judy Scott was a professional dancer and choreographer in New York. Andrew Garrod first brought her in to choreograph West Side Story and she returned for numerous musicals during the 1970’s. Of those present who can for-get the “pit piano” on a cart with David MacKenzie playing and Joanne Kee deco-rating the top all singing good-bye to Judy Scott and we (cast and crew) rolled down the corridor singing You’ve Got a Friend and Let it Be!

Perhaps the dramatic highlight of those years was the 1974 production of Romeo and Juliet. This production was George Fry’s twentieth production with Andrew Steve Morgan as Mercutio and the late Chris Kipping as Benvolio

in Romero and Juliet

Garrod but, as George Fry told a Saint John reporter “because of the new combination of Jon Simpson as technical director and Sandra Keirstead as costume mistress, they may have “the best team yet”

The production was performed at the Playhouse in Fredericton where it was adjudicated by Professor M. Roland Laroche, offi-cial screener for Theatre Canada. His comment that “not much more than they gave can be demanded of a group like the one that had just finished its performance” was a remark with which other reviewers readily agreed. The performance won the school a spot in Theatre Canada’s “Festival 7 ” in St. John’s, Newfoundland in May. Romeo and Juliet was the only high school production to be chosen for the festival. The stu-dents raised the money for the trip to Newfoundland and both they and their performance received extremely good press. Andrew Garrod won the Best Director Award and Stephen Morgan won the Best Supporting Actor Award for his portrayal of Mercutio. As Pat Treacher said in his review in the St. John’s Evening Telegram “the whole evening was quite star-tling and the standing ovation, the first I’ve seen in the Arts and Culture Centre, was the least we could do in recognition of a magnificent evening of theatre. Mr. Garrod has much to be proud of ”

More Shakespeare followed Romeo and Juliet, including a vis-ually stunning production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream

where George Fry visualized the fairies as natives of the New World which had just been discovered by the Elizabethans. The set, a construction nightmare for Jon Simpson, featured eight projecting diving

board structures lit both in the archways and on the end nether-world figures were lit from below. Musi-cals such as Guys and Dolls, Fiddler on the Roof and My Fair Lady also attracted large numbers of both

‘Romeo and Juliet’ in Rwanda: A Tale of Loss, Reconciliation By Andrew Garrod and James G. Rice published online and in print in the Valley View on Tuesday, April 29, 2014 “Make sure you do not ask any of the actors if they are Hutu or Tutsi. They are all Rwandans,” warned Carole Karamera, a distinguished actress, as she ushered us into the audition site at a Rwandan high school for a production of Romeo and Juliet. …Rwanda, as we have been reminded in the press recently, was the site of a devastating genocide in which as many as a million Tutsis and moderate Hutus were

murdered by Hutu militias in 1994. The slaughter of nearly a million in a hundred days was the fastest genocide in recorded his-tory … Youth Bridge Global, a non-profit or-ganization, [is] committed to providing artis-tic and educational opportunities for youth in under-resourced and challenged parts of the world. Our decision to bring Romeo and Ju-liet to Rwanda was carefully planned and deliberate. Shortly before the 2010 Dart-mouth Commencement, in a serendipitous meeting at a dinner honoring Dartmouth

retirees and recipients of honorary doctorates, Andrew Garrod met Dr. Agnes Binawaho, the Rwandan Minister of Health. As they became acquainted, Garrod explained that his greatest

Romeo [Eric Shema] cradles Mercutio's [Innocent Munyeshuri] face after he is mortally wounded by Tybalt. Benvolio [Clovis Shyka] looks on in grief.

“Drama buffs” and “Sports jocks” and as former student and current Guidance teacher David McPherson [commenting on Fiddler on the Roof] stated “I remember sitting in the breezeway when Andrew Garrod came by and told me and some of my friends to come to the office right now because we had to be in the musical the musical was one of the best experiences I had in high school.” Andrew Garrod repeated West Side Story (1975) and, Guys and Dolls and Fiddler on the Roof from 1976 – 197

After Andrew Garrod left Saint John High School for further studies at Harvard, more emphasis was placed on student directed drama and musical productions. In 1979 Michelle Chase (1979) directed two musical revues, one in the fall and one in the spring and Lucy Wilson (1979), Angela Moutoulas (1979) and Colin Smith (1979) all directed plays. Teacher Walter Glover also directed A Resounding Tinkle which was entered into the Drama Festival and won an award for best use of set, for the set designed by Jon Simpson. George Fry directed Camelot and even Principal Dennis Knibb took a turn when he di-rected the musical Oliver. These efforts were built on the solid base Andrew Garrod and others before him built.

interest was to produce Shakespeare with youth from the disparate groups in former war zones and sites of genocide. Dr. Binawaho urged him to come to Rwanda. “And the play you must put on is, of course, Romeo and Juliet.” And so was born the choice for Youth Bridge Global s next big project that would take two Dart-mouth professors and two Dartmouth alums joined by four undergraduates and graduates from other Canadian and American universities to Central Africa in the summer of 2013. The story of Romeo and Juliet and their families who are reconciled from a long history of mutual hatred after the needless, tragic deaths of the youths, can be viewed as a theatrical metaphor for the events of the 1994 ethnic cleansing. Shakespeare s tragic masterpiece, with its exploration of headstrong love, bravado, impetuos-ity, passion and senseless violence clearly had resonance for our young Rwandan actors and their recent histo-ry. ...What truly made the difference was the passion and the enthusiasm of the Rwandan actors themselves — their belief, shared by the directing team, in the power of theater to unite different groups upon a common ground of emotion, revelation and understanding. Why did the young actors want to be part of this international production? Clovis, who played the peace-maker Benvolio, was attracted by the production s stated aim of furthering the healing process. “I wanted to help express or give the message I had in me — to show people how good reconciling is.” For some, like Eric who played Romeo, what engaged them was the thrill of being “connected to everybody in the circle.” Others stated that they were looking to make new friends, develop their language skills and perhaps — even for a few hours — forget their tragic pasts. Not a single actor with whom we spoke was without grave loss and suffering from the genocide. One stagehand had lost all nine siblings and his father; for Tete Divine, our Juliet, it was her father and multiple siblings. Every life seemed touched with tragedy. An artistic choice that profoundly moved many audiences was the decision at the end of the play to have mem-bers of the Montague families embrace the Cap-ulets, and vice-versa, and to have those who “died” in the play appear onstage in this circle of valedic-tory love. The audience applauded rapturously as the characters hugged each other. Will the experience really profoundly change the perspectives of our actors? We cannot know. How as Westerners do we presume to approach the notion of reconciliation— with actual victims — through the lens of Romeo and Juliet? Our strategy was to concentrate on the text, on the play, and to encourage actors to use their personal experiences to fuel and voice the experience of their characters. Rwanda is a country that desperately needs that healing as it struggles to look beyond the immeas-urable pain and loss of its recent history. Andrew Garrod is professor emeritus of education at Dartmouth Col-lege and co-director of Youth Bridge Global. James G. Rice is professor of theater at Dartmouth College. The above edited article initially was saved with the notion of including it in the Alumni in the News feature. In-tervening events delayed its publication but when Andrew Garrod received his honorary doctor of letters award from the University of New Brunswick, an opportune moment appeared to feature this article in the overall celebration of Andrew’s distinguished educational career in North America.

Jennifer Allaby ’ , is now President of Canadian National Sportsmen’s Shows and in June 2017 was elected to a two-year term as President of the Canadian Association of Exposition Mangers. She and her husband live in Mississauga, ON. John Pottle ’ , had an exhibit at the Saint John Arts Centre in November 2017. It was a retro-spect of sorts, curated by Pottle himself. He says he has always been an artist and as a child he never stopped drawing. It was in Grade 12 at SJHS that he decided to apply to art school, which he attended in London, England for a year. He spent another year in London playing bass in a band – “I was always torn between my love of creating visual images and making music” he said. He also attended the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, received his teaching degree from UNB and for years taught as a high school art teacher, and even now that he is retired he still enjoys teaching a life drawing class at the Arts Centre, helping high school stu-dents develop their art portfolios. He and his wife spend as much time as they can at the family camp on the Washademoak Lake I have slowed down, and I try to take time to really appreciate the world around me my paintings are just meagre attempts to capture the majesty of those moments that are only there for a second in the natural world”

James Landry ’ , made the news twice this past year. He donated to the Canadian War Muse-um the original wood cross placed at the burial site of his great uncle, Private John Ferman Ashe, who was killed at Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1917. The director general of the Canadian War Museum said “You have a grave marker that is probably one of only three in Canada. It is a physical re-minder of a burial or an honour in the field, which is very, very rare.” Jim travelled to Vimy to see his great-uncle’s grave and visit the memorial site. He is now, as the executive director of Land-scape NB, involved in the planting of forty tree, dubbed the Oaks of Vimy Ridge, which ill be planted around the province. One hundred years ago, a soldier, Leslie Miller, collected acorns from an English oak on the field and sent them back to his family in Ontario. They have been growing there ever since. Now clones, grafted from the trees, are being shipped nationwide. While most of the trees will be going to local legions, Jim will be spending time scouting out the best locations in each community whether it is on legion property or somewhere with more suitable green space.

Carol (Harris) Raynes’ , has another connection to Vimy Ridge. She recalls growing up with the love and care of her grandfather, William Harris, Sr. who survived the Battle of Vimy Ridge while he was in his forties. Although he survived the war he developed carbuncles on his neck due to the gas attacks and his scars from surgeries never faded. Raynes said her grandfather seldom talked about the war so she did not hear many stories of his days of fighting. The only time the Great War was revisited was when he was marching in military ceremonies. Her grandfather was born in Eng-land but living in Saint John when the war broke out and joined the 26th New Brunswick Battalion. She said “he felt the call for what he could do for the motherland to go when you’re 40, to me

Greg Hemmings ’95, is the founder of Hemmings House Pictures, an award-winning multimedia production company. Through TV, film and photo documentaries, Hemmings House aims to impact positive social change, and its works have been seen in over 30 countries around the world. In an interview with the local paper Greg was asked “what is the greatest miscon-ception that people have about you?” His answer “People think that I am unrealistically optimistic. I am truly a happy and content person, but I work very hard to prop up the positive things in life be-cause of the negative” He also told the reporter that his favourite food was sushi and his secret skill was that he is a very skilled hula-hooper!

He employs more than 40 employees who use state of the art cleaning and restoration equipment. The other arm of the business, Service Master Restore, works to mitigate property damage – the range in the type of damage is huge – everything from an explosion, a fire, large water loss and anything in between – they look at what they can save, clean and re-store to minimize what goes to the landfill.

Erik Klein ’ , says he cherishes the memories he made as an athlete at Saint John High School – whether playing football or running track, nothing made him happier than the camaraderie that comes from competing together on a team. Now, as a chiro-practor, he is part of multiple teams and has volunteered for everything from UNB tract and field, to the Women’s World Curling Championship. He was re-cently honoured as the first and youngest Atlantic Canadian recipient of the prestigious Canadian Chiropractor Association’s Public Service Award.

The Rev. Dr. Christopher Brittain ’88 was recently installed as the Dean of Di-vinity at Trinity College, University of To-ronto. He and his colleague, Andrew McKinnon, from the University of Aber-deen have recently published an new book, The Anglican Communion at a Crossroads. This book is provoking consid-erable interest across the Communion world-wide. Chris lectures and writes widely includ-ing on a blog on ABC Religion and Ethics.

Clara Peron ’98 and Andrew Edwards ’97 arrived from Germany and Toronto respectively for the celebration of 30 years of the International Baccalaureate program at SJHS. The reun-ion didn’t happen but they contacted both Sandra Thorne and myself and we invited them to Hampton for dinner as a poor substitute but a good time! Clara’s career has taken her around the globe but she has now settled in Berlin and runs her company, Value for Good GmbH, a

specialised consulting firm that leverages the methods and tools of top manage-ment consulting for social good. Andrew Edwards is a partner in Bain & Compa-ny's Toronto office. He is a member of the firm's Pri-vate Equity and Financial Services practice areas. Clara and Andrew have re-mained friends since Red and Grey Yearbook days and from McGill.

SJHS Alumni 2005 class spirit is alive and well! Geoff McCausland left SJHS to attend McGill, where he received a Bachelor of Music in violin performance. Fast forward a decade and Geoff is living in Sudbury ON where he has pursued a career as a professional musician as well as working in the film industry and various other fields.

Geoff recently decided to put his name forward as a candidate for the Sudbury municipal elec-tions as one of five people competing for Ward 4. In addition to dozens of phone consultations, there was a canvassing blitz where SJHS alumni descended on Sudbury from many places, including Vir-ginia, Montreal and Toronto, for an intense week-end of knocking on doors on behalf of Geoff’s cam-paign. Fraser Lockerbie, Eric Brousseau, Maggie Pitts, Steve Flood, William Orford and Chris Salm-on (all SJHS class of 2005) had a crash course in Sudbury municipal issues that week-end before they collectively knocked on 2500 doors to talk to constituents. Geoff’s parents, Helen Gollings and Bob McCausland (string teachers at SJHS for decades), also flew in twice from Saint John to help with the campaign. Finally, election day rolled around on October 22. Everyone was exhausted and eagerly await-ing the verdict and for the marathon to be done! Geoff’s brother Owen McCausland (SJHS class of 2008/student council president) managed to get a last-minute flight from Victoria to Sudbury where

he had just finished performing in a Beetho-ven opera. Finally 8pm of voting day #2 rolled around and the polls were closed. There was a blank screen where the results would sud-denly magically appear. The media man-aged to talk for almost 2 hours before the results were finally posted. Geoff won the Ward 4 seat by a clear majority of 400 votes. The SJHS alumni team of old friends were a huge part of this successful election cam-paign. To quote Geoff’s thank you to his supporters: “The main takeaway from this election cam-paign is just how privileged I am. I’ve come to appreciate and better understand how much time, support, money and energy a person needs to even consider running, let alone run a winning campaign. I am an in-credibly lucky person, and am humbled by this entire experience. I hope that in this

new role I will have an opportunity to do some good, and give back to this community that has given me so much.”

Future Alumni in the News

Spencer Hetherington, who will graduate in June 2017, won three of four awards at the ViewFind-ers: Atlantic Film Festival for Youth Competition in May 2017. He won the awards for his films Rel-ic and The Water Witch. Relic documents a girl who finds a necklace and realizes that when she touches it she is taken into another dimension where creatures lurk. The Water Witch has a differ-ent tone – he says it is about his great grandfather and his ability to find groundwater using a stick. He also had a film Taper Head screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, which it was a finalist in the Next Wave Young Filmmakers Showcase. Spencer s future plans are to attend York University for film making.

Marylise Habiyambere, who will graduate in June 2018, was named a LORAN scholar, worth $100,000. She is originally from Rwanda and spent several years living with her family in a refugee camp in Ghana. She began writing to find strength in her adversity and since coming to Saint John High School she has been busy founding several clubs, tackling social issues ranging from youth poverty to mental health and women’s empowerment. She plans to attend university and go into neuroscience. Her volunteer work with mental health patients in senior care facilities has “pushed me into neuroscience because I can’t imagine things like not being able to recognize a loved one.”

Sam Song, who will also graduate in June 2018, was awarded the D & R Sobey Scholarship for the commerce program at the Smith School of Business at Queen’s University. This scholarship is val-ued at $80,000. Song is a nation chess champion, manages several chess clubs in the province where he coaches young players and works to encourage newcomers to play the game that help him adjust to Canadian culture when he moved here from China. He also volunteers regularly at the Imperial Theatre as a usher, plays 20 instruments and serves in the Army Reserves. His goal is “to be somebody that can change the world I don’t just want to work for someone.”

Sea stars, Plankton and Late Nights Huntsman Marine Science Centre turns 50!

As this year the Huntsman Marine Science Centre in St. Andrews, NB celebrates its fiftieth an-niversary it is timely that we look back on Saint John High School s association with Huntsman.

It was in 1986 that the first group of SJHS International Baccalaureate Grade 12 Biology students along with a group of Ad-vanced Biology students, ventured to Hunts-man. That trip was the beginning of a thirty-two year relationship. Many aspects of the Huntsman Marine Science Centre have changed since that first trip. Anderson House, a student residence in the early days, has been completely renovated and a new

student residence, Needham Hall, con-structed. A new Aquarium was built as well major renovations made to student labora-tories. Many alumni would remember the metal bunk beds, which on one occasion collapsed, the cold basement showers and the subterranean laboratories as well as late night adventures on the golf course.

The IB 12 Biology and Advanced Biology field trips often began with running the Brandy Cove shore transect (Remember the line, plastic squares and meter sticks?). Students would spend close to three hours counting species of periwinkles, intertidal invertebrate species and, the percentage of seaweed coverage. Students had to be mindful of the tides to prevent being stranded. Many times, they worked into the early even-ing and needed flashlights to return to the laboratory. What student did not love the late night work constructing Kite dia-grams, incident graphs and I quote from Reena Kapida (2001) “from measuring the shore, to dissecting sea urchins, no or-ganism was left unturned” “writing up labs, drawing graphs

19

not to mention doing math at one in the morning; sleep deprived” - a Biological Bliss”

Many hours of laboratory work were, and are still, being completed at Huntsman. Tracey Dean, Director of Education, in asso-ciation with Saint John High School Biology teachers, modified the laboratories to meet the I.B. criteria, and the result is that over 15 lab hours can be accomplished.

The program expanded to include a one day Biology 11 field trip. Working on the boat in Passamaquoddy Bay students com-plete plankton and benthic samples as well as salinity and temperature readings. Stu-dents would use these samples in the lab which was a wonderful introduction to the Marine Environment.

Huntsman also organized overnight trips to Grand Manan, the high light of these trips was whale watching with Peter Wilcox of Seal Cove, Grand Manan. It is hard to imagine that on many of these trips we were surrounded by Right Whales, a rare occur-rence today. Many of these experiences no longer exist on Grand Manan, Ingersol’s smokehouses are gone and so is the pro-cess of salting fish.

I quote from a letter Mr. Bob Perry (retired SJHS Biology teacher) wrote to the alumni:

Biology students have been making use of this outstanding local resource (Huntsman) for dec-ades now and these excursions have given hands-on opportunities to investigate the Bay of Fun-dy we are so fortunate to reside beside. While there, students gain great insights into this ma-rine environment, including excellent instructors and get a hands-on experience that would be the envy of inland students. In the thirty-two years that the Biology classes have been working with Huntsman over 3200 students have benefitted from the experience.

I would like to thank the Saint John High School alumni for their continued support and en-courage the SJHS Administration to value this unique educational partnership. Happy 50th Hunts-man and let’s hope that Saint John High School continues its relationship for many years to come. Debbie Garland

Stephen Murphy, a 1979 graduate provided this address to the 2018 graduation class and his address is reprinted here with Steve’s consent. The address also appeared in the 2018 Red and Grey Yearbook. “ You might say every one of us is a fiddler on the roof, trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck. It isn't easy. You may ask, why do we stay up here if it's so danger-ous and how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in a word – tradition! - Tevye from Fid-dler on the Roof Tevye, the fabled fiddler-on-the-roof in the celebrated Broadway musical of the same name, was speaking of life in the mythical pre-revolutionary Russian village of Anatevka when he opined reverently on the role and value of tradi-tion. He might just as easily have been speaking of our Saint John High School community. Any institution that has been around for more than two hundred years, is bound to have more than a few traditions! Saint John High School’s origins date to 1805 and an Act passed by the New Bruns-wick Legislature for the purpose of “encouraging and ex-tending literature in the province” The direct, unbroken line from that legislation to today’s graduating class of 2018, establishes our school as Canada’s oldest public high school. But while our traditions are rooted in that fact, simply longevity should not be confused with tradi-tion. Carrying on is one thing; carrying on, indeed thriving in a trusted and predictable fashion, is what produces tradi-tions. One of our most durable modern traditions is the main stage musical. Its origins date back sixty years, to a 1958 production of Rogers and Hammerstein’s Carousel. As if to prove Tevye’s point, the impressive roster of musicals staged since then has included three productions of Fiddler on the Roof in 1972, 1978 and 1994. The play opens with the words highlighted above, spoken by Tevye, the dairyman, who further observes “ because of our traditions, we’ve kept our balance for many, many years” These are words that also aptly apply to our school. Over the centuries, Saint John High School has developed and curated a long tradition of excel-lence in both academics and extracurricular life. In fact, it is the carefully maintained balance of the two, that is Saint John High’s strongest tradition. Many schools are known and celebrated for the excellence of their teaching and the accomplishment of their students. Others earn a reputation for their athletic and artistic ac-complishments. Saint John High School has a long tradition of producing excellence in the classroom and in every athletic and artistic venue. It is a school for all seasons. The result is that a Saint John High School education is both deep and wide. Our graduates have gone on to great success in their chosen professions and careers, shaped and informed by the formal cur-riculum of arts and sciences and the informal curriculum of competitive sport, music, drama and debate. The School also practices a long tradition of community in-volvement and active citizenship. Reflecting on my own experience in the mid-1970’s, I am equally indebted to the teachers who coached me in debating and oratory and di-rected me in stage productions, as I am to those who taught the classic subjects which form our fundamental education. In truth, as a student I was less receptive to the classroom education than I was to extracurricular learning and the civic experience. My teachers were in-sightful, gracious and patient enough to remain firm about academics while encouraging extracurricular pursuits and in that I was not alone. That approach, fostered in my school days by long time principal Dennis Knibb, remains at the core of the tradition of a balanced stu-dent life, a defining feature of Saint John High school.

21

Many of the clubs and teams featured in the pages of this yearbook, have been part of High School life for generations. Our most cherished scholarships, awards and trophies have been presented annually for decades. More than a few Saint John High School students are from the third or fourth generation of their families to attend our school. My own grandfather, Walter H. Murphy, was a member of the graduat-ing class of 1930. I was proud to wear his ribbons the night I walked across the stage in June of 1978. In this way, Saint John High School has become a part of many Saint John area family tradi-tions. And a legion of graduates continues to support the school through an active Alumni Association and with donations to a scholarship fund which continues to advance the educational opportunities of our graduates. In my experience, few high schools engender the sort of loyalty and pride that so many of us express for SJHS. That too is an essential tradition which this year’s graduates and all students, are heartily encouraged to continue, But our pride and confidence in our school and family traditions have not blinded us to the need to evolve and change, to be open and welcoming to all who wish to share in our traditions. A school that was built in 1932 with separate entrances for boys and girls, now welcomes any and all through every doorway, to share in the time honoured traditions of the school and to help create and shape the traditions of tomorrow. Another of our cherished traditions , the motto “Vita Vitalis” was adopted in that same year. The active pursuit of the “The Life Worthwhile” through academic excellence, athletic triumph, artis-tic achievement and service to community is our heritage and our future because, as Tevye knew, “without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as a fiddler on the roof” Ringo! e e r

Alumni Donor List – Dec 2016 - Nov 2018 This list has been compiled from hundreds of individual and trust fund contributions over a two-year period, a longer time span than has been normal in past newsletters. Consequently, numerous donors have contributed several times over this period but have only been noted once unless their donation indicated several different memorials. The donations have amounted to over $30,000.00 per year much of which has gone toward much needed equipment and program support with “The High School”. A larger number of memorials were also placed to recognize the contribution of Dennis Knibb and his twenty-seven years as Principal. Many, not recognized here, donated to the Dennis Knibb Scholarship Trust Fund administered as a separate charity. This fund has doubled in size to over $150,000.00 capital, the interest from which is used to fund two scholarships per year. These are the largest scholarships Saint John High School offers independently from external awards. Thanks to all the donors both large and small who have helped create this fitting tribute. The Alumni News also costs about 15,000.00 per year to produce and mail even though the editorship is a volunteer position. With my retirement, this may require additional support. Thank you for your support and encouragement over the past ten years. Richard Thorne

50 Years — The Class of 1968 Celebrates! The weekend of July 13-15th was a glorious weekend in the Port City as the Class of 68 came to-gether to celebrate their 50th reunion. Ninety five alumni and guests gathered together for a reception at SJHS to meet and greet old friends and classmates. It was an energetic and engaged group of classmates who clearly enjoyed seeing their former classmates. During the evening a video about the Class of 68, superbly produced by fellow alumnus, Dave MacGowan, was shown. Valedictorian, Paul Selick was unable to attend but did send a photo of himself dressed in his old red and grey blazer. Paul provided a brief update on his career and a warm welcome to his fellow classmates. Paul, through his Selick Foundation donated $500 to the Class Legacy Project. The Legacy Project, decided upon by the Reunion Planning Team, was to digitalize all the class photos (the ones hanging on the walls throughout the school) so they could be uploaded to the Alumni website. On Saturday morning, approximately all gathered for in a Walk and Talk tour of uptown Saint John. The theme for this tour was “The Saint John You Thought You Knew’” and was created and conducted by David Goss. His knowledge of the city’s history is profound. Saturday evening, the concluding reception and dinner was held at the historic Union Club. 85 alumni and guests attended this sold out event and were treated to a beautifully decorated room and an ele-gant dinner. Special guests for the evening were Lori Wall, Principal of SJHS, Maureen Desmond, Vice Principal and our main contact for all Reunion Events at the school and Drew Murdoch ( Class of 2018), son of Chris Murdock (Class of 1978) who did all the photography for our Legacy Project. Charlie Parker, Treasurer presented Principal Wall with the surplus funds collected payable to the Dennis Knibb Scholarship Trust and to the Alumni Association. In total the Class of 68 raised over $5300 for the Legacy Project and of that approximately $4000 was donated to the Scholarship Trust and the Alumni Fund. Principal Wall thanked our Class for its wonderful contribution and took a few minutes to explain the $20 million renovation/modernization program that the School will go through for the next 5 years. The evening concluded with a look back at 1968 by Reunion Chair, Andy McPherson along with a theme song chosen for the event, “We Didn’t Light the Fire” by Billy Joel and a rousing rendition of the old high school cheer, Ringo.

On behalf of the Grad Class Executive, thanks to all who came and participated. We hope your week-end provided you with a memory or two and per-haps renewing old relationships. Your Grad Class Executive and 50th Reunion Planning Team: Brenda Paul, Carol Spencer, Charlie Parker, Doug Holt and Andy McPherson. A special thanks to Jane (Izzard) Craig, Anna Marie Hutton ( wife of Robert Hutton), Karen McPherson (wife of Andy McPherson) and Kay (McEachern) Fitzgerald for manning the recep-tion desks.

IN MEMORIUM

Compiling the list of Alumni who have died since the last issue in December 2017 or whose death were reported after publication, can prove a bit of a kaleidoscope of lives lived both during and after their years at Saint John High. Our oldest living Alumni member, Helen Cook passed away in Fredericton at the grand age of 106. A notable number of names reflect a vanishing community in Saint John. Many other names recall their contributions to the Alumni News, to reunions or to fund-raising efforts. Some names are multi-generational. This editor in particular, knew people that I can call to mind in kitchens, in Saint John shops or whose children and grandchildren have come to this school. In-deed, these are the threads of our life shared at Saint John High which Steve Murphy evokes so well.

A life worthwhile!
