Remembrance Assembly


Boys,

all of the students and teachers of Bishop Feild School walked to The War Memorial this morning to lay a wreath in remembrance of our war dead. With them were many alumni of Bishop Feild College. Several veterans from World War II also attended and presented the colours. Mr. Frank Galgay represented the city. We gathered there to especially remember all those Feildians who gave their lives in two world wars. The students staged a wonderful program to mark this occasion. At one point in the proceedings Mrs. Puddester read the names of those Feildians who paid the supreme sacrifice and as each name was read a child came and pinned a poppy on the remembrance tree, seen left. The Grade VI class sang songs and marched. Ms. O'Brien, the music teacher, led the class in a recitation of John McCrae's poem In Flanders Fields. It was done with drum and sound effects. The whole program was a tribute to all lives lost in war and especially those fellow Feildians who gave their lives for our freedoms today.
NON MORITUR CUJUS FAMA VIVIT
