Toronto's musical Mr. Chips
Headmaster of private Crescent School took over a rundown building
and fixed its wiring, plumbing and even its furnace until a newer
structure could be found
By James McCREADY
Special to The Globe and Mail Thursday, July
10, 2003 - Page R5
He was the first Canadian-born principal of a Toronto boys' school
that for its first 50 years had hired only British headmasters.
Bill BURRIDGE, who has died at the age of 79, remained at Toronto's
Crescent School until 1986.
The boys at the school both respected him and feared him. The
father of one former head boy remembers "Mr.
BURRIDGE" as a man
who could "cut through the BS. The boys knew they couldn't get
away with anything with him. But he was a wonderful teacher."
Mr. BURRIDGE was an unlikely Mr. Chips. If you looked back at
his early school career, no one would have picked him for the
job as a headmaster at a private school.
William BURRIDGE was a working class boy who was born in Toronto
on August 16, 1923. His father, an English immigrant, was a painter
for Imperial Oil. Young Bill went to Western Technical-Commercial
School to become an electrician.
But like many of his generation, the Second World War wrought
changes in his life.
He went into the Royal Canadian Air Force as an electrician.
One of his first postings was to Dorval Airport in Montreal,
a military field during the war, where one of his fellow electricians,
Phil JONES, remembered they worked on odd planes for the Royal
Canadian Air Force, odd because they were not the standard aircraft
flown by Bomber Command. They were American planes, twin-engined
B-25 bombers and the long range four engine B-24 Liberators.
One big B-24 was unique. It was named Commando and its bomb racks
had been stripped out to make it into a passenger plane, with
two private bunks for Winston Churchill, the wartime British
Prime Minister and his doctor. The plane was parked at Dorval
a lot of the time, from where it could easily head out to Bermuda,
West Africa or to Cairo, or across the Atlantic to Britain. The
aircraft was serviced by Royal Canadian Air Force electricians,
including Mr.
BURRIDGE.
The posting provided interesting stories
for him to tell in later life.
Mr. BURRIDGE and the other electricians were sent to different
bases, including one just outside Vancouver. While there they
used to pick up extra money on their leave by hitchhiking across
the border to Seattle to work as drivers and warehousemen at
a fruit-packing plant. The war meant a shortage of men and the
Canadian airmen were given weekend work, no questions asked.
A professional musician on the double bass since the age of 17,
through the war Mr.
BURRIDGE played in pickup bands and
an Royal
Canadian Air Force band, along with Mr. Jones and others.
When Mr. BURRIDGE came home from the war he kept playing. During
the late forties he played at dances at the Young Men's Christian
Association and at clubs such as the Rex. In the fifties he played
in the Benny Lewis Orchestra at places such as the Casa Loma
and the Palace Pier, then a dance hall, now a family of condos
on Lake Ontario. He played with the jazz great Moe
KAUFMAN and
did some session work with the jazz singers Peggy
LEE and Pearl
BAILEY.
Mr. BURRIDGE also played during the summers at resorts in the
Muskokas. To get there he had to book an extra seat on the lake
steamer Segwun for his big bass.
A short time after the war Mr.
BURRIDGE decided to take advantage
of the free education earned by his wartime service. He went
to the University of Toronto and graduated in 1950 in arts and
sciences. He worked as a salesman for General Foods for a year
and then started teaching school, first in Coppercliff in northern
Ontario and then in Scarborough near Toronto.
By the late fifties he was a principal in Whitby, just outside
Toronto. But a car accident on the way to school influenced his
view of things. His car slipped on ice and broadsided a telephone
pole. Although unhurt, the crash made him ready for a change.
One day he was on jury duty at a courtroom in downtown Toronto
and spotted an ad in the Globe and Mail for a grade 5 teacher
at Crescent School. He applied and got the job.
Crescent School was then on the old Massey estate on Dawes Road
at Victoria Park. When he started there were only nine teachers,
100 students and the school went from kindergarten to grade 8.
Mr. BURRIDGE introduced music to the curriculum and became a
popular teacher. When the headmaster was ill he took over on
a part-time basis, becoming headmaster on his predecessor's death
in 1966.
At the time, Crescent School was a mess. The building was falling
apart and the headmaster was called on to fix the electrical
work, the plumbing and even the furnace. He helped in the search
for a new building and in 1972 the school moved to the old Garfield
Weston Estate at Bayview Avenue and Post Road.
Over the years Crescent School changed and dropped the lower
grades and expanded as far as the last grade of high school.
Mr. BURRIDGE remained headmaster until 1971 and stayed on teaching
and as assistant director of the Lower School until his retirement
in 1986.
In private, Mr.
BURRIDGE was also a Mr. Fixit. He helped keep
up some family rental properties and often workered on his old
Buicks or his house in suburban Ajax, Ontario, on a lot of almost
half an acre. His other hobby was keeping bees.
Bill BURRIDGE leaves his wife
Faith, to whom he was married for
54 years, and his three children, Reid, Rob and Hope.

Dr. Fred JOHNSON.
Born
January 23, 1910 Died July 15, 2003
Dr. Fred JOHNSON had a long and distinguished career as an obstetrician
and gynecologist. He was a fine clinician, a leader of local
and national stature, a shaper of careers, an inspiring teacher
and most of all a role model for all who knew him. He was raised
in a loving family on a farm near Hamilton. He joked that he
went into medicine to avoid farm chores. Graduating from the
University of Toronto in 1936, he interned at the Hamilton General
Hospital and went on to Western Reserve University in Cleveland
completing his training obstetrics and gynecology in 1941. He
joined the staff at Hamilton General Hospital in 1942 and with
Dr R.T. WEAVER made Hamilton renowned for skills in vaginal surgery.
In 1958, he became Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Hamilton
Civic Hospitals and served in that position until 1972, 14 years.
During his tenure a new medical school was developed at McMaster
University. In 1966 he became one of its first Professors and
in 1968 became the founding Chair of the Department of Obstetrics
and Gynecology. He built a new academic department based on strong
clinical departments at the Henderson and
St Joseph's Hospitals.
He recruited and helped train many residents and many faculty
who have gone on to practice in Hamilton, in other communities
in Canada and in the U.S. Many of his graduates and his faculty
have gone on to become national and international leaders in
Obstetrics and Gynecology. All have their own personal stories
to tell about how Fred stimulated, supported and shaped them.
He provided critical support and guidance to those in his department
who were developing what at that time were sometimes controversial
new sub-specialty programs, particularly in gynecological oncology
and maternal-fetal medicine. Fred was a wonderful educator. In
the 1970's, Dr Bill
WALSH, then Associate Dean at McMaster wrote
of him as 'a senior physician who provides a role model as mature,
wise, humane and expert - all at the same time.' Dr
JOHNSON
also helped guide and plan the building of McMaster University
Medical Centre and was its first President as well as it's Clinical
Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology from 1971-1975. Hamilton was
not alone in recognizing his abilities and accomplishments. He
became an examiner for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons
in 1964. He was invited to be a Visiting Professor at Ohio State
University in 1968. In 1969, he was appointed President of the
Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the national society representing
all obstetricians and gynecologists in Canada. In 1972, he was
appointed as a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and
Gynaecologists in England. Up to that time, only six other Canadians
had been so honored. Upon his retirement, he was appointed as
a Professor Emeritus at McMaster. In his honour, the Department
of Obstetrics and Gynecology at McMaster created the F.L. Johnson
Trust Fund. That fund has grown to provide critical support for
research in the Department. Dr
JOHNSON's family have requested
that any donations in his memory be directed to that fund. It
is hoped that the Fund will grow to a size able to support a
McMaster University Chair in Women's Reproductive Health. In
1985 Dr Fred
JOHNSON was awarded honorary Doctor of Laws by McMaster
University in recognition of his many contributions and achievements.
President of McMaster University Alvin
LEE, in addition to identifying
his clinical and academic contributions and identifying him as
'a medical statesman in Obstetrics and Gynecology' indicated
that 'he has been a unique interpreter of both Hamilton and McMaster
through his sense of excellence, his unfailing decency and his
legendary humour and equanimity'. His wonderful family, many
Friends and patients will always remember his kind gentle personality
and his delightful dry sense if humour. Dr
JOHNSON was a unique
human being and leader who made critical contributions to the
building of clinical and academic strengths of the clinical department
at the Hamilton Civics, the creation of a new medical school
and a new medical centre, development of a new academic department
at McMaster, leadership of his discipline at a national level
and, at a personal level, support and development of strengths
and abilities in his students and his professional colleagues.
We celebrate his impact and his legacy.

MURPHY,
C.
Francis, Q.C.
Frank MURPHY died August 13, 2003 at St. Paul's Hospital from
complications following pneumonia. He is survived by his loving
wife, Jean, and his children, Caroline, Elizabeth, Adrienne (Peter
HOLMGREN,)
John
(Leslie
LEE,) Frances and Sarah, and his grandchildren,
Anna HOLMGREN,
Jacqueline
MURPHY and Robert
MURPHY. Frank and
Robert were special companions. Frank is survived as well by
his brothers Bud, Cal and Louis, his sister Josie
BENZ, and many
nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by his parents and his
sisters, Mary
COSTELLO and Pat
MURPHY.
Frank was devoted to his
family and deeply committed to his community. Frank was born
in 1929 in Calgary and lived most of his life in Vancouver. He
loved Vancouver for its beauty and the opportunities it presented.
He graduated from high school at Vancouver College in 1945, and
graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor
of Laws in 1950. He articled at and then practised with Campney,
Owen, Murphy and Owen from 1951 to 1958. He then joined Farris,
Stultz, Bull and Farris, which evolved into the firm Farris,
Vaughan, Wills and Murphy. He was the managing partner there
from 1978 until his retirement in 1992. He remained as associate
counsel until his death. He was appointed Queen's Counsel in
1984. Frank practised primarily in areas of corporate and commercial
law. He particularly enjoyed his involvement in the Greater Vancouver
Regional District. He sat on many corporate boards, including
British Columbia Gas Inc., Mitsui Company of Canada Ltd., Northwest
Life Assurance Company, Pacific Petroleum Ltd., Westcoast Transmission,
Kelly Douglas, Alberta Distillers, and Loomis (Mayne Nickless).
Frank was on the board of many non-profit organizations, including
the Vancouver Art Gallery, Canadian Red Cross Society, Convent
of the Sacred Heart, Holy Family Hospital and St. Paul's Hospital.
Frank was for many years on the board of the Catholic Children's
Aid Society, serving as president from 1973 until 1980. It was
an association of which he was particularly proud. Frank was
active in the Canadian Bar Association and was president of the
Commercial Law Section for two years. He was heavily involved
in the International Bar Association and from 1972 to 1982 he
was the Canadian representative to its Council. Frank's work
with this organization gave Jean and him great opportunities
to travel. Frank was a student of the world, interested and knowledgeable
about history and world affairs. Each of his children has fond
memories of trips, both at home and abroad, taken with their
father. From 1995 to 2000, Frank served on the International
Joint Commission, a binational Canada-United States organization.
This experience gave him further opportunity to travel, including
to many smaller communities in both the United States and Canada,
which were experiences he enjoyed just as he did his trips to
those destinations that are more traditionally favoured. In keeping
with his great interest in his community, Frank was involved
in politics and government affairs. He was of a liberal mind
and was a member of the Liberal Party of Canada. He participated
at all levels of the political process side by side with Jean
and Friends, more frequently at the federal level and in particular
in the riding of Vancouver-Quadra. Frank's greatest love was
his family. He was a loyal and supportive son, brother, husband,
father and grandfather. Frank's house at Point Roberts, certainly
his favourite place on this earth, is a site of especially treasured
memories. Frank was keenly involved with his children's activities.
He inspired his children and others with his curiosity, his physical
and intellectual energy and his commitment to principle. He lived
life fully and fearlessly. He met his final illnesses and challenges
in the same manner. He died within the rites of his church and
with the love of his family. He is greatly missed. The
MURPHY
family is greatly appreciative of the care and support Frank
and his family received from the staff at the I.C.U., in particular
from his final nurse, David
BOOTH.
The
Mass of Christian Burial
for Frank will take place at 11: 00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 19,
2003 at Sts. Peter and Paul's Church, 1430 West 38th Avenue,
with a reception to follow at noon at Shaughnessy Golf and Country
Club, 4300 Southwest Marine Drive. The interment will follow
the reception. Prayers will take place at Sts. Peter and Paul
on Monday, August 18, 2003 at 7: 00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please

MacRAE,
John
Ross
Died peacefully on April 26, 2003 at North York General Hospital
after a brief illness. He was 84. Ross was born in Winnipeg in
1918, and later moved to Regina when his father, D.B.
MacRAE,
became editor of the Regina Leader-Post. Ross was a musical prodigy,
learning the violin, trumpet and piano, and even during the Depression
as a teenager he earned money as a classical violin performer
and with a swing band he started. He worked as an announcer at
CKCK radio in Regina, then briefly in radio after moving to Toronto
before getting a job at the Cockfield-Brown advertising agency,
where he remained until his retirement in 1978. At Cockfield,
Ross was one of the pioneers in television advertising, and with
old friend Brian
HAWKINS, created the Expo 67 commercials that
became television works of art. When he retired he was a vice-president
and in charge of the agency's outstanding radio and television
unit. But active life didn't end then. For many years Ross played
violin with the semi-professional North York Symphony Orchestra,
and later with the East York Symphony (now part of Orchestra
Toronto), and with a string quartet. He was also an ardent golfer
right to the end of his life, and rarely missed the annual Maxville
Highland Games in Glengarry County, where his family's ancestors
first settled in Canada in the early 1800s. Above all, Ross had
a love of life and a sense of humour backed by an apparently
endless fund of stories that endeared him to everyone he met.
He will be greatly missed by his sons, Paul and Scott (Denise),
their mother Phyllis, daughter-in-law Sherry
BRYDSON, and grandchildren
David, Kevin, Sean, Gaye, Duncan, Cameron and Holly; by nephew
Bruce MacDOUGALL
(Lucy
WAVERMAN) and their children, Alexander,
Emma, Katie and Robyn; by the family of Ross's sister Isobel
LEES who, with sisters Margaret and Betty, predeceased him; by
the family of Eunice
McGILLIS,
Ross's second wife, who predeceased
him; by his good friend Mary
MacMILLAN and her family; and by
Ross's many Friends, former co-workers, and fellow golfers and
musicians. The family has only thanks and praise for the work
of the doctors, nurses and staff at North York General Hospital,
who cared for Ross during and after his abdominal surgery. A
memorial will be held in Toronto on Saturday, May 24, at 5 p.m.
at The Elmwood Terrace Room, fourth floor, 18 Elm Street. In
lieu of flowers, please send donations to Orchestra Toronto and/or
the North York General Hospital.
