Our Trophies

Boys these are some of the trophies (approx. 30) we have at the archive. A small committee of Dick Cook, Don Rowe, Hugh Miller and I are looking for ideas to use these trophies. There is no space to display them at the school, I've been informed. We could photograph them and create a  binder with the photographs and descriptions of each trophy and then discard the trophy itself. We can make any number of copies of the binder.

The impetus for this effort stems from the fact that the Diocesan Archive is closing on King's Bridge Road. They are currently stored in boxes in the basement there and MUST be removed by the end of the month. We welcome all suggestions. Email me : peter.chalker@gmail.com

     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.
