Ed STEVENS marched his way into city's heart
Mr. STEVENS will be best remembered proudly marching in his bright red tunic and black and yellow trousers and hat at the head of his Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute band
By Bill HENRY. Sun Times Staff, Page A1
The much-loved founder of the old Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute Drum and Trumpet Band died Wednesday at the age of 94.
Ed STEVENS was a popular Owen Sound elementary school teacher and principal and high school English and history teacher from 1930 until he retired in 1969.
He was a cadet instructor, master of his Masonic lodge, active Division Street United Church member and chaired the Grey County Board of Education in the early 1970s.
But Mr. STEVENS will be best remembered proudly marching in his bright red tunic and black and yellow trousers and hat at the head of his Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute band, Friends, family and former band members said Thursday.
"It was a very, very popular organization and he was kind of a local hero and has been ever since," said Fred FURNESS, a former Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute principal and student at the school when the band was at its peak in the early 1950s.
"He's always been at the front of it. He's been the focus of it really and he's well known for it."
Mr. STEVENS started the band in 1946 after taking a job at Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute teaching English and history and leading the school cadets.
Although he had no musical training he believed the cadets should have a marching band and eventually taught himself percussion, his son Ted STEVENS said Thursday.
The band became a community fixture, marching in Santa Claus parades and playing on Remembrance Day and at other special events for many years.
The band reunited in 1981 after a long hiatus for the 125th Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute reunion and many members continued to perform regularly throughout the community over the next 11 or 12 years as the Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute Alumni Trumpet Band.
Members marched again behind Mr. STEVENS for the 145th school anniversary in 1996 and last performed together during the emotional farewell to the old Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute building when it closed in 1999.
"That was the wind up of it all," former member George JEFFERSON said "He was marching with the rest of us right up to the very end of it."
Since then, many of Mr. STEVENS' " Boys" have gathered annually with their former teacher, mentor and band leader on his birthday. Sixteen of them got together last summer and were delighted when Mr. STEVENS wore his band uniform to the party, George GREEN said.
He recalled Mr. STEVENS as a fair but demanding and inspiring leader.
"He was strict. He wasn't a laid-back fellow. If you did something wrong, he'd tell you about it. In the trumpet band he wanted perfection and that's what we strived for," GREEN said.
He also cared deeply about his students and looked after them well, including offering GREEN work after class and in summer.
"That's the kind of guy he was. He was more like a mentor to me and I think anybody that was in the band was the same. Ed looked after his boys and he's still looking after his boys."
That inspired unusual devotion among his students and band members, GREEN added.
Helen JOHNSTONE was a former student who said the man's 'basic decency' was an inspiration. He was an exemplary educator who made a difference in the community and will be much missed, she added.
"He was such a superb person. I always considered him my mentor," JOHNSTONE said.
They later served together Grey County school trustees and continued a lifelong Friendship. His love of books, literature and learning partly inspired her own similar interests, she said Thursday.
"He had a brilliant mind and a devilish sense of humour," JOHNSTONE said.
Ted STEVENS said education and learning were the principal interests throughout his father's long and active life. He cared about his students, wanted them to do well and kept in touch with many of them over the years.
Until just a few months ago Mr. STEVENS was corresponding with several Christian scholars as he explored his most recent interest, the history of Christianity, his son said.
He began teaching at Dufferin school in Owen Sound in 1930 and was principal at both Hillcrest and Victoria schools. He also taught at both Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute and West Hill Secondary School and was supervisor of academic training at Georgian College.
Edmund Campbell STEVENS died in Owen Sound Wednesday morning.
A memorial service was planned for 11 a.m. today at Division Street United Church.

SCOTT, Roderick " Roy" Alexander, B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.
(Retired Principal of the Etobicoke Board of Education) Passed away on Tuesday, June 28, 2005 at The McCall Centre, Toronto. Beloved husband of Betty (née BRAY) and loved father of Gordon (Shirley). Grandfather of Heather and Jennifer. Loving brother of Elsie WEISE of Oakville, Annabel (Joseph) FURROW of Los Alamitos, California and John A. (Monica) PATERSON of Mississauga and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents James and Barbara (née McKENZIE) SCOTT and his sister Florence. Born on May 17, 1918 in Toronto of Scottish immigrant parents, he attended Wilkinson Public School and Riverdale Collegiate. In 1940 he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and took his pilots training at Fort McLeod, Alberta prior to going overseas. In 1942 he was asked to join the Special Duties Squadron 138 to do low level flying in a Halifax aircraft on moonlit nights over occupied Europe, delivering spies, canisters of food, medicine and arms to the Resistance Fighters. On August 12, 1943, his plane with a crew of seven was shot down in Normandy, France. He and his dispatcher were uninjured and made contact with the Resistance Fighters. Eighty-five days later after being passed from safe house to safe house, walking over the Pyrenees and spending three weeks in a Spanish jail, he returned to Britain. That experience influenced the rest of his life. With a strong sense of gratitude for his survival, he came back home determined to make the most of his life. Following the war, he became a teacher, working for the Lakeshore Board and later for the Etobicoke Board, retiring after 22 years as a principal of an elementary school. Upon retirement, he pursued many interests. He was past master of the Anthony Sayer Lodge Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons No. 640 G.R.C., past principal of Victoria Chapter Royal Arch Masons No. 205 G.R.C., 33rd degree mason of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasons, and a member of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He was past president and librarian for his air force group, the Royal Air Force Escaping Society. Belonging to a Speakers' Bureau, to raise funds for the Helpers (Resistance Fighters) of the R.A.F.E.S. he spoke at many schools and clubs across Ontario about his wartime experiences. Writing and editing a newsletter for the R.A.F.E.S. and for the masons was a challenging project for him. Gifted musically, he played the piano or organ for Riverdale Presbyterian Church and the degrees of the Scottish Rite. He enjoyed his many trailers and travelling across the country during summer vacation. He was past president of the Ontario Citation Trailer Club. He loved crossword puzzles, opera on a Saturday afternoon, playing his organ with his earphones on, and driving his big cars. He loved his country Canada and served it well. He loved the city of Toronto where he was born and lived most of his life. He loved his home, a refuge from life's troubles. Most of all he loved his family. We, your family will miss your smile, your laughter, your sharp wit, your eloquence of language, your cheerfulness and most of all your great love for each of us. Friends may call at the Turner & Porter Butler Chapel, 4933 Dundas Street West, Etobicoke (between Islington and Kipling Aves.) from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. on Monday, July 4, 2005. Funeral Service in the Chapel Tuesday, July 5, 2005 at 11 o'clock. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or to the Parkinson Foundation of Canada would be appreciated by the family.
