Malvern history celebrated as reunion nears
From Beach Metro News – By David Fuller • April 4, 2013 History has found one of the men of Malvern Collegiate again, just a couple months before the school celebrates its 110th anniversary. His name was Sgt. Morris Murray and he was killed on June 6, 1944, which is why his story was last told by this writer when a Malvern Grade 10 class travelled to Normandy, France in March 2009. The students were there to visit his gravesite in Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery along with those of two other Malvern men killed in later battles.

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.

This page gives you access to much of the archival research that we have done at Malvern since 2003, as well as to information about special projects such as the restoration of the Malvern CI Cenotaph for WWI.

Israel Halperin and David Hayne
Malvernites 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…
