3. The Happy Ghosts of Harbord
by Charles Girlder (Staff, 1925-57)
Pleasant it was at Harbord when the green fields lay near by,
And pleasant for the boys and girls who saw things eye to eye
For astronomy is noted for its regular eclipse
And the linguistic courses have led to scholarships.
Oh, the jolly ghosts of Harbord; - how they threw the bricks about
When renovation came our way and the new gym steps fell out!
Pleasant it was when ceilings sank; it gave us cheerful heart
To see the jolly ghosts of old just taking things apart.
The happy ghosts of Harbord just meet you at the door;
Past - Present - Future - Ever - they're yours for evermore.
And the glorious thing in Harbord ghosts, the first day you arrive
They are never dead or buried, - they're very much alive. (1931)

4. FOREWORD
"Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunderstorm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a
month or year." Thomas Mann's observation reminds us that the first century in the life of Harbord Collegiate Institute ended and
that a new one began without a fanfare or a 21-gun salute to mark the turning point. Last fall-the eve of the birth of Harbord's
second century-witnessed the inauguration of the Harbord Museum which, if not the first in Canada, is distinguished by its
architectural design.
The first major undertaking of the centennial year was the creation of the Harbord Museum which came into being in time to
accommodate the growing collection of a century's memorabilia, donated by former students, their families and friends.
The second major event of the Centennial was the production of this volume, properly referred to as issue number 30 of the
Harbordite, and which has been in preparation for more than two years. The Harbordite was created in 1979 as the newsletter of the
Harbord Club, itself formed in 1978, and as an active communications network between members and the school. In the course of its
labours, the Harbordite uncovered the myriad aspects of Harbord's rich and varied history. It did not immediately occur to the
Harbordite editorial staff that the material gathered and published in the newsletter would be of crucial importance later. The
newsletter was the seed, this centennial volume, its flower.
When, as 1992 approached, it occurred to members that a centennial volume was one of the best ways to commemorate
Harbord's first century of life, two significant elements were found to be missing- first of all, funding, and secondly, a larger
editorial staff. This deficiency rapidly led to the formation of the Harbord Centennial Publication Group which, initially recruited as
a nucleus from the Harbordite staff, later drafted a willing number of experienced hands from the fields of teaching, publishing,
business, finance and advertising.
Now, thus duly constituted, the Harbord Centennial Publication Group was in a position to apply to the New Horizons
Program, Social Services Programs, Health and Welfare Canada for a grant - a subsidy that made the production of the centennial
volume a reality. The Group's task was also facilitated by the large fund of research material that had been gathered and published in
the Harbordite over the past 13 years and construction on this base began.
The history of Harbord presents a valuable record of facts, occurrences, anecdotes, biography, discourse and narrative-a
record viewed through the eyes of students who attended the school, and their teachers.
The title of the volume was inspired by the title of a poem by Charles Girdler who, between 1925 and 1957, brought to life in his
classes in ancient history, the leading figures of Greece and Rome; and who, in English classes, introduced his students to drama in the
skits and plays which he directed and presented on the stage of Harbord's auditorium. The stage provided a broad avenue for that
versatile master's creative talent, delighting generations of appreciative student audiences, and simultaneously serving as an
experimental theatre, or laboratory. Many went on to make show business their vocation of a lifetime; the stage, at least, provided a
valuable introduction to the human comedy following graduation.
"The Happy Ghosts of Harbord" is dedicated to the late Ken Prentice (,31), a founding member of the Harbord Club and a
contributor of many pages of the Harbordite, documenting in straightforward fashion the various facets of Harbord's centennial life.
Ken devoted long hours to unearthing buried relics of the school's past and to weaving seemingly unconnected threads into a coherent
tale, an accomplishment for which his classical studies had eminently prepared him.
The organization of the volume proved to be a simple matter as each piece found its rightful place in one of the six chapters into
which the book is divided. Chapter One, on the history of the school, follows the evolution of the institution through war and peace
and through the successive waves of immigration to Canada. While Chapter Two is a "who's who" of principals and some teachers,
Chapter Three provides a cornucopia of student ingenuity, invention and innovation in sports, drama and music. Chapter Four
chronicles the accomplishments of alumni in diverse fields of endeavour, and Chapter Five comprises letters to the editor, a mixed bag
of opinion, comments or nostalgic recollections, an essential feature of the Harbordite, and too important not to occupy its own
niche. Chapter Six, on permanent endowments, which are managed by the six directors of the Harbord Charitable Foundation for the
benefit of students, presents biographical sketches of the honorees, in whose name scholarships were established by peers, friends
or relatives.
The centennial edition is a tribute to a school which has fostered excellence since its inception and to all the alumni of this
cherished institution who may have left its halls forever but have always retained an indescribable, enduring something of its legacy.

5. PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Harbord's one hundredth birthday is a wonderful occasion to celebrate! This we did on October 31st, 1991, when the whole
school kicked off our centennial celebration with a big birthday party in the gym. This party followed a special assembly where the time
capsule from the 1931 comer stone was opened by Premier Bob Rae and Nataline Rodrigues, President of our Student Council. The
contents of this time capsule are on display now in our beatiful new museum room, which was also opened on October 31st.
As the current Principal of the school, I invite you to visit, any time at your convenience, the Harbord Museum. It contains many
items which illustrate the Harbord tradition of excellence-both in the academic and extracurricular fields. You will be filled with pride
as you examine the memorabilia going back to 1892.
Pride in Harbord also goes back to those starting days when the Toronto Board of Education purchased pasture land from Alex
Manning, began construction in 1890, and opened the doors in January 1892 to 170 students. This pride is clearly stated in a letter taken
out of the 1931 time capsule. It was written on March 13,1931 by Col. Hagarty, who was the Assistant Principal from 1892 to 1906 and
Principal from 1906 unti11928. In referring to pride, he states, among other things: "Pride in the greatness of the school, its achievements,
its reputation from coast to coast won in its early days under my former Principal, Dr. H. B. Spotton; pride in my association with such
a Principal and fellow teachers of national renown; pride in the privilege of being an instructor of hundreds, nay, thousands of boys
and girls many of whom have gained distinction in the land, and the like of whom it would be difficult to match the world over."
As you browse though the pages of this beautiful Centennial Book, I am sure that you will experience many hours of nostalgic
enjoyment. We are all grateful to Julius Molinaro, the book's editor, and his support staff, for producing such an outstanding book!
Many people have worked very hard to produce a successful centennial reunion, and it is always dangerous to start focusing on
specific names. However, there is one name which I must mention because this 1933 graduate has been Harbord's strongest supporter
for many years. I am of course referring to Willie Zimmerman! He was one of the founding members of the Harbord Club, has built up
the membership to over 2000 names, guided the museum room through to completion and has been invaluable in all the centennial
planning. Thanks, Willie!
I hope that thousands of you will be able to return to the school for the centennial celebrations in May, 1992. Welcome home!
This is the time to reminisce, to renew friendships and as a Harbordite grad, staff member, or friend, to say with renewed pride-
Onward Harbord!
Don Creighton
