MRS. J. WHITAKER

After Christmas, we were pleased to welcome Mrs. Jackie Whitaker to Jarvis. Mrs. Whitaker teaches girls' physical education and she is a valuable asset to our extra-curricular activities. She attended Branksome Hall and the University of Toronto. Six years ago, Mrs. Whitaker taught at Port Credit High School, and then she retired to look after her husband. She now has three boys and her hobbies are, of course, mostly connected with sports. Mrs. Whitaker, we at Jarvis hope you will have a long and happy stay with us.

DEPARTURES


MISS FRANCES STINSON, B.A., PHYSICAL EDUCATION

All of us were surprised and disappointed when Miss Stinson left us at Christmas time. She can truly be called a loyal Jarvisite as she not only spent her high school days here, but returned for her teaching debut. Except for an absence from 1955 to 1957, when she took a special physical education course, Miss Stinson has devoted herself to Jarvis and its pupils. From nine to 3:10 each day, she had taught giggling uncoordinated girls the art of volleyball,

swimming, and tennis; she has also taught willing but also uncoordinated boys the cha-cha, waltz and fox trot. But her day never stopped at 3:10. She was the backbone of the G.A.C., giving invaluable advice and time to the curators. In short, Miss Stinson has been a great asset during her many years at Jarvis and shall never be forgotten by those who had the pleasure of working with her. -- JANE FARQUHARSON, 12-B

E. McCANN, B.A.

Mr. McCann arrived as our new Vice-Principal after Christmas last year. Just as we started getting accustomed to him and he to us, he left us at the end of last year to become the Vice-Principal at Danforth Technical School. Mr. McCann was born in Toronto and attended Riverdale Collegiate. Later on he received his B.A. in Honour English and History at the University of Toronto. His teaching career began at a high school in North Bay and after that he taught at North Toronto and then Central Technical where he was Head of the English Department. From there he came to Jarvis as our Vice-Principal and after a brief period of six months here, he left us for his present position.

Mr. McCann is an avid reader and enjoys all types of books. He is also a sports fan as well as a participant. He skates and plays golf. To top all these, he is also the author of two text books. He is the co-author of "Style and Structure" and the editor of an edition of "King Lear". We enjoyed having Mr. McCann at Jarvis very much even though it was for a short time, and we certainly wish him the best of luck in the future. -- IRENE HOMATIDIS, 12-A

H. HILL, B.A.

Last year, one of our favorite Mathematics teachers, Mr . H. Hill left to become Vice-Principal of Richmond Hill Collegiate. Mr. Hill came to us in 1957 to fill the position of Head of the Mathematics Department. He was born in a small town in Huron County, Ontario, and attended Western, where he received his B.A. in Maths and Physics. Before coming to Jarvis, Mr. Hill taught for twenty-five years at Harbord Collegiate. During the war he went into the service, and, as an Education Officer in the R.C.A.F., did some teaching overseas.

Being a former president, he is very active in the Secondary School Teachers' Federation. Mr. Hill was the head of the dance committee and did much for the "At Home.". Whenever he can, he spends much of his spare time at his cottage in Newcastle. He and his wife are very interested in "Canadiana" and do much furniture refinishing as a hobby. We wish you all the best for the future, Mr. Hill. -- CAROL ARIKADO, 12-A
