Old Feildians, I received an email from John Henderson with a picture attached. I have added it below.  Paul Facey is in the front row with a big grin on his face. Do you know any of the other boys? The picture was taken in Bannerman Park in 1952.

 

 John lives in Saskatchewan. He is kneeling behind Paul Facey wearing his Feildian tie.

1962 Choir

Below is a picture of a Bishop Feild College Choir in 1962. Most of the boys have been identified but not all. In Rows 3,4 and 5 that is the third row from the back we know only a few of the boys. Please take a look and let me know who they are.

175 Anniversary of Bishop Feild College and School

The college will be 175 years old this year. What a history lives in the bricks of the old school? It lies vacant now but the work is about to begin to restore it to its former glory.

Bishop Edward Feild, the second Anglican bishop of Newfoundland, founded the school in 1844 shortly after his arrival from England having been appointed to the See by the Archbishop of Canterbury, William Howley.

Now, in August 2019 the call has gone out to all boys near and far to meet us in St. John's, NL to renew old memories and to inspire the future years of Feildians to come. The Reunion takes place at the Remax Centre (Curling Club) on the weekend of August 9, 10 and 11. Hope to see as many there as possible.

Last Thursday I finally received the Bishop Feild College Directors' Minute Book from the Rooms. Thanks to Greg Walsh, Archives Director, we are finally in possession of this valuable book in our College's history.

This minute book was found in the court house. Somebody sent it to the Rooms for safekeeping. I was alerted to its existence and contacted the Rooms to have it de-accessioned to our archive. Mr. Walsh agreed it should be here and finally it has found its proper home.

The minute book contains the minutes of meetings of the directorate of the college. I have included a sample page for you to look at. It contains the history of the College from 1905-1916.
