UCC veterans honoured on Remembrance Day 
11/14/2008
It was an occasion to take pause and, in the silence, reflect upon one’s own beating heart. UCC’s fourth annual Remembrance Day ceremony paid tribute to Old Boy veterans, 14 of whom were honoured guests, November 11 in Laidlaw Hall.
“Today we honour 305 UCC Old Boys who fell during the First and Second World Wars,” said Principal Jim Power. “We also remember all the soldiers in Afghanistan and in Iraq who are in danger every day.”
UCC’s Head Stewards escorted the veterans down the aisle while a piper played the processional. The ceremony included a theatrical presentation created by IB2 students Peter Dickinson and Simon Kaplan in which students recited a poem, “Killed in Action,” from a 1940–41 issue of College Times. The poet was a friend of fallen UCC student Jack Conway Carpenter ’38:
I shall have other friends,
And I shall know grief again;
But never a friend like this own dead,
O, such bewildering pain.
