Feildian Lunch Monday April 28, 2014
Our lunches continue to be well attended and today was no exception. We had a number of first timers. They are:
Frank Butler
Fred Riche
Paul Miller
Les Noseworthy
We had not seen Bill Neal for awhile but he was here today.
Several of us told of the time we were strapped at Feild. Terry Carter told a funny story about being caned by R.S. Tanner. Most of us were at one time or another. It was having the experience of being strapped that we got to know who were the real pros. "Bull" could strap well as he was tall and could get great leverage. Lloyd also had a special and effective flick of the wrist when he strapped that hurt. However, from all the stories I have heard over the years you did not want to be strapped by Charlie Grant.
These stories were told with the backdrop of an all boys school during a time when the strap was an accepted part of discipline. Unfortunately, this would not be tolerated today.
On another note Chris Facey and his group continue their hard work to get funds for the continuing improvement of The Feildian Grounds. If you can see your way clear please make a donation to this great cause directly or by attending one of the dinners they have to raise funds. I will let you know of the next event when it comes along.
If any of you have pictures of your days at Feild please scan them and send a copy to me; peter.chalker@gmail.com
At the lunch today I had a chat with Henry "Hank" Summers and he brought along a picture of a hockey game in which he played goal for the double blues. The game was played at Prince of Wales Collegiate on Friday, February 24, 1956. On the back were written in pencil the lamentable words, " lost again to PWC, this time 12-6 and there were 39 shots. Just shortly after this game Hank took up boxing.
Until next time, floreat semper Bishop Feild.
