187 YEARS OF TRADITIONS BEFORE YOU DIVE IN The BCS Bulletin has a rich history that traces back to its inception in the early 1940s. It all began with Lew Evans (fondly known as Uncle Lew), who, amidst his correspondence with Old Boys serving in the military, conceived the idea of a newsletter to keep them connected with their alma mater. With the support of then-Headmaster Crawford Grier, Lew collaborated with Dave Landry, Frederick Sherman Holley, and Ivan
Childs—all from the Class of 1942—to compile the first edition of The BCS Bulletin to Old Boys on Active Service using a Gestetner machine. The response to this initiative was overwhelmingly positive, leading to a rapid expansion of the mailing list as more Old Boys learned about the newsletter and eagerly submitted their addresses. As the number of recipients grew, so too did the breadth of content
within. Initially centred on wartime updates such as promotions and casualties, after the war, the publication soon evolved to embrace a broader spectrum of social, personal, and occupational news, leading to its rechristening as The BCS Bulletin to Old Boys. In 1963, Graham Patriquin assumed the role of compiler-editor, marking the beginning of a new era characterized by innovation and
VOL. LXXXII, NO. 1 growth. Patriquin's tenure witnessed the introduction of new printing techniques, including the incorporation of photos and colours, which injected fresh vitality into its pages. However, it wasn't just the publication that underwent transformation; with the amalgamation of King’s Hall, Compton and Bishop’s College School, the newsletter bid farewell to its 'Old Boys' moniker, emerging simply as The BCS Bulletin in 1972—a pivotal moment in its evolution. Since its inaugural release on October 10, 1941, and throughout the eight decades that have unfolded since, The BCS Bulletin has evolved from a one-page mimeographed newsletter into a dynamic platform for community news, features, and shared experiences— mirroring the growth and transformation of BCS itself.

Despite changes in format and editorial leadership over the years, one thing has remained constant: The BCS Bulletin stands as a cherished tradition and a living connection to our shared past. It's a testament to the legacy of our school, and a beacon of anticipation for the stories yet to be told. As you delve into these pages, may the stories within evoke fond memories, spark nostalgia, and, above all, celebrate the en-

"Being a part of the Varsity Hockey Team this year has been an exciting journey filled with growth and development, both on and off the ice. Our coaches' guidance and dedication to our team have guided me to a path I've never seen before and convinced me that I can accomplish something incredible after my time at BCS. The thrill of competing together, overcoming challenges, and celebrating victories as a unified team has made this season truly special. Representing our school on the hockey rink for the last five years has given me a sense of pride and discipline that extends beyond the game itself. I'm grateful for the invaluable experiences and memories that this great team and program have given me." - Sky W., Form VII

“To my teachers, who have taught me in the classroom and otherwise, I look up to you. You are perhaps the biggest factor in the success of the students in this school, and have certainly influenced me. You’ve continuously pushed me to become a better person. It takes courage to become a teacher. It takes so much more to become a teacher at BCS." -Liam Condo, BCS’23

My experience at BCS was most impacted by the wonderful people around me.

I was disappointed that I did not see some of my friends who had gone to Compton ‘many’ years ago but it has inspired me to make sure that I touch base with some of them and encourage them to go next time. It was very generous of Hugh Notman, BCS’75, to make the arrangements at the Van Lawn and Tennis Club. It is a good venue because it is central and there is ample parking. Many thanks to all of you who organized the event. It went well and I think everyone there enjoyed themselves. PS: I wore my scarf!! I love it and have worn it many times—many thanks!” -Susan (Fleming) Pattillo, KHC’66 “It was a very enjoyable and well-organized. A good mix of young and old alumni from 1951 to 2015! I think the location helped get a good turnout in spite of a snowstorm the day before. Good update on the school from Charles and then some fun reminiscing from those there. All well done.

Annual Cadet Inspection In May we were proud to welcome Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Jackson, BCS'96, this year's Reviewing Officer, as we celebrated the anniversary of our time-honoured tradition and bid farewell to our Commanding Officer, Major Gilles Nichols, CD. A huge thank you to Major Gilles Nichols for his hard work and dedication to BCS and the Bishop's College School No. 2 Cadet Corps over these past 16 years. As a token of our appreciation, we presented Gilles with a BCS Tankard as well as an engraved traditional ceremonial sword, generously donated by a patron of our Cadets program. The Most Valuable Non-Commissioned Officer Award was also renamed The Major Gilles Nichols Medal in his honour and presented to Warrant Officer Katherine Christodoulou, BCS’23 (pictured above). "Major Nichols was so fun to work with and made the Cadet program more diverse in the activities that we did. As a student leader, you felt like he trusted and believed in you…he made you think you were capable even if you had doubts. He was always able to make you laugh with his light-hearted humour, something you don’t typically expect from a leader of a cadet program! Cadets at BCS has evolved, and I believe Major Nichols had a lot to do with this positive change. Thank you Major Nichols for your dedication to the program and I wish you a happy retirement!" -Sarrah Ewing, BCS'10 - CCO 2010 "[...] Thanks to your guidance, I was able to take on the role of Cadet Commanding Officer and do something that I never thought I would be able to do. Being a leader is about empowering others and fostering an environment of collaboration and respect. You empowered me to take that role of Commanding Officer. You fostered an environment of collaboration and respect where all the NCOs loved you and joked with you but then knew that when we were practicing we had to 'turn on' and lead our companies. This continues to stay with me in my day-to-day life. Thank you for everything you have done for us, Major Nichols. You will be missed." -Sarah Cooper, BCS'13 - CCO 2013

June 9, 2023 Alumni & Friends Golf Tournament We held our 30th Annual Alumni & Friends Golf Tournament at Owl's Head in June. A huge thank you to all of you who made it out for a fun day of golf and catching up. Thanks to your support and the help of our generous sponsors, we were thrilled to raise a record $316,400 for our Scholarships Program. Every dollar raised benefits our deserving students and has an immediate impact on the student experience at BCS. Thank you for your generosity! “Over the past few years, I have been wanting to get closer to the BCS community since both my kids attend the school. The first thing I did was to work with Charles de Sainte Marie, BCS’93, and his team in determining how I could best help the school going forward. The Advancement Team helped me set up a scholarship which will go towards helping a Quebec resident, focused on three creases, attend the school. This year’s golf tournament was synced up with a matching gift campaign which was a brilliant idea as it helped me further increase the funds potentially available in the scholarship. The Advancement Team did an incredible job running a fundraising campaign as well as putting on an amazing event at Owl’s Head Golf Club. I got to play with Danny Lalonde, BCS’72—a current board member—and the Dubois father and son duo. What struck me was how much Old Boys/Girls care about BCS’s heritage and the preservation of its unique culture." -Jérôme Cloutier, BCS’90 “I had a great time at the alumni golf tournament this year, playing with my colleague Robert Dunn, BCS’71. The financial assistance provided by scholarships and awards is an important pillar of the school and with Major David Turner having been a notable leader during my BCS years, making a contribution to the scholarship fund that bears his name was an easy choice. I look forward to participating in other alumni events and supporting this scholarship fund.” -Antoine "Tony" Reed, BCS’02 “Honestly, [it] was such a wonderful day! Thank you for putting all of this together and making everyone's day incredible. It was truly a fantastic tournament. I loved the idea of donating towards the General Endowment Scholarship Fund and even better, to have it matched by a BCS Old Boy.” -Matt Dubois, BCS’14

KHC Class of '63 Reunion at BCS The KHC Class of 1963 celebrated their 60th reunion with a flashback to boarding life in Gillard House at the end of June. Seventeen Old Girls from across Canada and the United States joined us on campus for a weekend reminiscing about their time at King’s Hall, Compton. The festivities included visits to significant spots in the Townships from their student days at KHC, exploring the BCS campus, and reconnecting with old friends. A highlight of the reunion was a visit to the St. Laurent Museum, where, 60 years ago, they used to spend their bi-weekly pocket money of 35 cents on candy. Notably, Bernard St-Laurent, the young boy who worked in the store back then, made a special trip to meet them upon learning of their visit (pictured above). Another memorable moment was Head Girl Janet (Burgoyne) Partridge playing the organ and adding lyrics for both 50 and 60 years to their school song, "40 Years On." “Many thank yous are simply not enough to let you know how much we appreciated your selfless devotion to the roll-out of our reunion [...]. As most of my classmates have stated, it was the best ever…from our reception on campus to all the ways you facilitated our itinerary. Being able to spend time with [Susan], Charles, and the two Michels gave us tremendous insight into how the school is operating today and the respect BCS has placed on the legacy of King’s Hall. It’s one thing for us to know that the girls are still wearing our uniform, but for them to know that decades of former students also wore that same uniform, I hope brings that legacy to life for them. [...].” -Lalage (Wright) Hackett, KHC’63
The KHC Class of 1963 celebrated 60 years with a reunion at BCS.

Homecoming
Homecoming Weekend was a blast and saw us welcome back alumni from the Classes of 2013, 2003, 1993, and 1983. We unveiled the newly renovated and expanded Smith House with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, had an epic Alumni vs Student soccer game that ended in a 3-3 draw (alumni won in a shootout), enjoyed a comedic evening hosted by our very own Stephan Dyer, BCS'06, and closed it out with a cozy hymn sing in the chapel on Sunday. A particular highlight of the weekend was honouring beloved music teacher, Randy Jackson, as an Honorary Old Boy during Saturday’s dinner. Randy Jackson's journey at BCS began in 1989 when he joined our community as a dedicated music teacher. Over the years, his contributions extended far beyond the classroom. Randy played an integral role in Smith House, providing invaluable support to our houseparents and fostering a sense of belonging among our students. However, it was Randy's exceptional passion and unwavering enthusiasm for the sport of running that truly set him apart. His dedication as a coach not only made him a legend but also inspired his fellow coaches to establish an award in his honour. The Randy Jackson Cup is now presented annually to the cross-country runner who exemplifies a profound love for the sport, both on the track and in their everyday lives. Randy's legacy doesn't stop there. His name graces the Wall of Distinction in our dining hall, a testament to his remarkable career and dedicated service to BCS. Although he officially retired from BCS in 2018, Randy's journey with music, particularly his mastery of the French horn, continues to inspire and captivate audiences. As a member of the Orchestre Symphonique de Sherbrooke since 1989, he shares his exceptional talent, enriching the lives of those fortunate enough to experience his performances. A huge congratulations to Randy on becoming the 16th Honorary Alumnus of BCS. BCS is a much better place as a result of his service!

Smith House Ribbon Cutting Ceremony During Homecoming Weekend we held the Smith House Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. It was a pleasure to welcome back many of our alumni, including old Smith Housers, to see the renovated space and engage with our current students. Couldn't make it? Head to our Smith House webpage (bishopscollegeschool.com/ smithhouse) for photos and videos of the new space, including a special message for our amazing Smith House donors. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who played a pivotal role in making the Smith House expansion and renovation project a reality, including our Facilities Manager, Francis Marineau, and his team who worked tirelessly to bring a new vision of Smith House to life.

October 23, 2023 Ottawa Alumni Reception
"When Norah and I signed up for the BCS alumni reception in Ottawa in October, I assumed, it being almost the 60th anniversary of my graduation, that I might be the oldest person there. Far from it: alive, bubbling with stories and good nature, was Howard Ryshpan, BCS'52, who at that point was 90 years old. This was not the first time I had met Howard. I was four years old and living in Williams House (with my parents) the year he graduated, and I’ve always remembered his name. Howard has had a stellar career as an actor, director and teacher in theatre, radio, television and films, for almost 70 years. He literally got his start at BCS, where his greatest influence was Lewis Evans, Sr. (father of Lew Evans, BCS'65, and Head from 2003 to 2009), who taught and directed generations of budding actors at BCS. Howard returned the favour at least once; Lew remembers him visiting the school in the 1960s and giving a young Falstaff (Julian Wise, BCS'65) tips on how to drink ale on stage. Howard’s most delightful story at the reunion was that when he was in a play at school, the Bishop of Quebec came and was terribly impressed with Howard’s performance as a bishop. The Bishop thought he would make a great church minister; Howard's response was that he would first have to ask permission. 'From whom?' was the question. 'From my Rabbi,' replied Howard. It was a delightful evening, meeting old friends and new. You never know who you’ll run into at a BCS reunion!" -Doug Patriquin, BCS'64 “The Ottawa cohort represents shared values from many decades. Thanks to you and your team we are reminded every year of how special our high school years are to us all.” -Lt. Comd. Philip Anido, BCS’66

Heneker-Williams Society Recognition Dinner The Heneker-Williams Society honours those who have set the standard for volunteer support at Bishop's College School and King's Hall, Compton. In November, we had the pleasure of celebrating two remarkable individuals, Bart MacDougall, BCS’54, and Tim Price, BCS’75, during our Heneker-Williams Society Recognition Dinner. The event was a grand success as we honoured our two new members for their volunteerism and dedication to the school. Sadly, Tim passed as this edition was going to print. Please look out for a feature on Tim in the next edition. Bart has been a committed volunteer and donor to BCS since his graduation. He served on the Foundation Board for 22 years and was a member of the Blueprint for the Future Capital Campaign Committee as well as the Passages Capital Campaign Committee. He also created the Outward Bound Award at BCS which is given to the Form V student who best exemplifies ‘self reliance, care and respect for others, service to the community, and concern for the environment.’ Tim contributed countless volunteer hours to BCS. He served on various boards and committees, spanning from 1988-2018, including Chair of the Foundation Board from 1996-2002 and Chair of the Association Board from 2013 to 2018. He was also a member of the Blueprint for the Future Capital Campaign Committee as well as the Passages Capital Campaign Committee. In December 1994, he established the Price Family Scholarship which helps deserving students, who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend due to financial restrictions, have access to a BCS education.
“First may I say how much I enjoyed the evening and dinner to celebrate BCS and the HenekerWilliams Society. It was such an upbeat evening and for me it was so special, certainly for the recognition, but more so for the opportunity to reconnect, not only with the school, but also with so many good friends. It’s not easy to stay connected after a move to Toronto, especially when one doesn’t travel as much. Come what may, there will always be a place for BCS in the hearts of the MacDougall clan if I have my way!! Many thanks again.” -Bart MacDougall, BCS’54

BCS Unplugged Speaker Series
In November, our community attended the first BCS Unplugged Speaker Series, a unique initiative spearheaded by Chad Bean, BCS'13, and Gabriel Aucoin, BCS'14, designed to foster engaging dialogues with remarkable thinkers, their distinct voices, and the broader BCS community. When Chad and Gabriel had the idea for the BCS Unplugged Speaker Series, they sought out guidance and advice from fellow alumni. "Gabriel and I [...] travelled to Toronto to meet with fellow alumni, Himal Mathew, BCS'77, and Rick Howson, BCS'67. Not only did Himal and Rick provide guidance but treated Gabriel and me to a delicious breakfast. In addition, we had numerous conversations with Daniel Lalonde, BCS'72, Linda Rodeck, BCS'81, Guthrie Stewart, BCS'73, and Charles de Sainte Marie, BCS'93," Chad shared. "Their collective expertise and guidance was instrumental in shaping the success of this Speaker Series." The morning began with fresh coffee and breakfast being served to fellow alumni ranging from the Class of 1963 to 2016, all eager to hear from our guest speaker, Jean Charest, Canadian Lawyer and 29th premier of Quebec. Following a warm welcome from event organizers Chad and Gabriel, Mr. Charest delivered an insightful speech centred around the Quebec government's policy to increase tuition rates for out-of-province students at English Universities. He decided to switch his speech topic following so many questions from attendees when he was being introduced. The Q&A session that followed was equally enlightening. Mr. Charest answered a range of questions, which included whether BCS could ever be affected by the Quebec Government’s educational overreach. The event concluded with a networking session where attendees had the opportunity to take pictures with Mr. Charest, interact with him, and exchange ideas. We are already looking forward to the next event!

Toronto Alumni & Friends Reception
“One of the best BCS/KHC events that I've attended and that wasn't just because you gave me a Choir tie! Way back in my day, some of us were jealous of the RCs who could go into Lennoxville on their own and had friends who said they spent most of the time at Nick's Diner instead of on their knees! For the rest of us, it was a caning offence to skip Chapel; someone used to take a secret/silent roll call and you could never miss if you were in the Choir....So it brings back distant but fond memories.... PS: A great group picture. 1943 to 2023 that's incredible!” -Fraser Baillie, BCS’58 “Thank you very much for putting together a very lovely evening. I had a great time connecting with the only other KHC grads present, Jocelyn and Louisa. We found many connections from the past and as they both live in the same residence, I promised to visit.” -Lalage (Wright) Hackett, KHC’63 “Sharing an enormous thank you to Ian for hosting such a lovely, engaging and fun alumni reunion cocktail last night in Toronto. It was a superb event and such a great cross-section of graduates ranging from 2023 to 1949.” -Alex Johnson, BCS’88

Better Together Reflecting on the strides we've achieved together in Advancement fills me with immense pride and gratitude. The unwavering support and boundless generosity of our community was on full display this year, and it is with great joy that I highlight a few of the recent triumphs that stand as testament. Smith House alumni, current parents, and friends successfully rallied around the recent renovation project. An absolute gem, Smith House now stands as a comfortable, well-conceived balance between history and all the modern perks the boys could want. If you haven’t yet done so, go take a look at the Smith House Rising page. Special
thanks to Smith boys Greg Boyd, BCS’81, who donated all plumbing (everything, from showers to water heaters!), and to Stuart Mactavish, BCS’75, and David Stenason, BCS’75, for agreeing to lead the charge as House Captains of the fundraising efforts. The success of our latest Annual Golf Tournament is a fine example of the community’s dedication to Scholarships and Financial Assistance. Through this event, over $300,000 was raised for existing scholarship funds; storied awards that have benefited hundreds of students over the years. These named awards (Abbott, Evans, Campbell, Turner, Webster, Price, to name but a few) are
all linked to people who contributed positively to the school, and whose stories are worth repeating every year to deserving recipients. King’s Hall, Compton alumnae have been staunch supporters of many historical facets of both KHC and BCS, whether it be through scholarships to legacy students, campus beautification, or restoring the archives to tell interesting stories about our very rich histories. Their adoption of Gillard House to hold class reunions has been so much fun that I believe this is now 'a thing,' with three class years already interested in coming in the future. Simply put, the collective effort from the KHC demographic
over the years cannot be overstated. It has inspired the creation of the Endowed Heritage Fund in the BCS Foundation by the Super Seventh Form (BCS’72), who donated over $80,000 to highlight their 50th anniversary since graduation, kicking off the endowed component of the fund. Every 50th anniversary year from now on will be encouraged to consider chipping into this community-wide initiative. In the past year, many have reached out with feedback and ideas about specific aspects of school life, based on personal experience and willingness to provide similar experiences to current students. These collaborative donations
continually improve the BCS offering, create mentorship opportunities, and remove degrees of separation between past generations and our soon-to-be alumni. Initiatives of this nature are just as important as big events and fundraising campaigns. Thank you to those of you who took a piece of our puzzle under your wing this year. The Advancement Team considers it a privilege to link your enthusiasm with today’s BCS, regardless of the shape it takes. Thank you for another year of outstanding support, and the overwhelmingly large doses of fun and camaraderie along the way. We are profoundly touched and will continue
to serve you with heartfelt dedication. Together, we are the creators of change, sculpting tomorrow's triumphs in the ongoing story of BCS. Yours truly,
Charles de Sainte Marie, BCS’93 Director of Advancement Bishop's College School
