Beach men who flew with Bomber Command are finally recognized

For the majority of the men from Malvern Collegiate Institute who fought in the Second World War, there was one big disappointment in the years after it ended. While many of their comrades in the other services were being honored on the anniversaries of the war, those who flew in bombers were conspicuously left out of the commemorations.

Israel Halperin and David Hayne

HalperinMalvernites who attended MCI in the 1920s will be saddened to learn that one of our most distinguished graduates of that decade has died. Professor Israel Halperin, C.M., Ph.D., LL.D., F.R.S.C. (1911-2007) was an internationally known mathematician, author and activist who treasured the memory of his years at Malvern from 1923 to 1928. His brother William, who was killed in the Second World War, also attended Malvern.

We are also sad to announce the death in November 2008 of our 1930s coordinator, Professor David Hayne. A tribute to his life and work will be found in the Spring 2009 Musings. If anyone else from this era is interested in taking up his position, please let us know. It requires someone with email capabilities as we communicate mainly via the computer. Attending meetings is not a necessity.

Now, after 89 years of weather damage and benign neglect, the monument will be restored this summer and rededicated at a ceremony on Nov. 4. (continue reading…)
