We are a modern-day residential school, and our philosophy has always been 'doing it right,"' [Don Revel] says from behind his desk hidden under mountains of papers and files. "I don't think there's any doubt the old residential school system was an attempt to assimilate First Nations people to white culture. "When I walk through the doors it brings back that I'm proud of who I am, being native, and I think that's what's so unique," says [Eric Kennedy].

[DONALD Coxeter]'s parents were a well-to-do surgical equipment manufacturer, also a hobby sculptor, and his artist wife. His youth, however, was not without distress. The breakup of his parents' marriage and several years at a boarding school with a cruel headmaster and bullying boys were agonizing for the slender, sensitive boy. Among those who credit Coxeter for having a significant impact on their own development are Benoit Mandelbrot, Buckminister Fuller, Freeman Dyson and Douglas Hofstadter. The latter provides an especially enjoyable foreword to [Siobhan Roberts]' book. Roberts deserves credit for attempting to bring Coxeter's story to a wider public. Her writing maintains a crisp, journalistic gait as she weaves brief math-historical vignettes into the biographical narrative.
Yet almost every member in the crowd of 1,000 at the Burton Cummings Theatre last night was making music with his or her lips helping former Supertramp singer Roger Hodgson with the intro to Easy Does It off 1974's Crisis? What Crisis? Hodgson performed solo, switching off between keyboards, piano or acoustic guitar, backed occasionally by a saxophonist who sang harmony. The sparse instrumentation distilled the songs from grandiose prog-pop statements into simple ditties that were somehow more effective than when his former band played without him a few years ago at the Winnipeg Arena. He hit all the highlights of his Supertramp and solo career, beginning with the bouncy Take the Long Way Home off the 1979 smash Breakfast In America, which Hodgson later noted was owned by one in every...

Errol Black (Riverview) asked the city's heritage committee to find it, the whereabouts of the white, cast-iron cross that once perched high atop the former Catholic boarding school on the corner of First Street and Victoria Avenue East have still not been pinned down.
In October, it's the fall of 2004 when 74-year-old [James Hillyer] rushes to England to see his daughter Susan, who's recently become headmistress of a girls' boarding school. Susan has breast cancer, and it's been diagnosed as aggressive. Her mother -- Hillyer's wife -- died of cancer back in 1982. The sections in which Hillyer reflects on mortality effectively strike some of the same chords as last year's Everyman, the Philip Roth novella. The topic -- and the ruminative way in which [Richard B. Wright]'s character delivers it -- also reminds the reader of Richard Ford's Frank Bascombe in The Lay of the Land. But, compared with Ford's prose, Wright's is economical. Wright has a knack for packing a lot into a relatively short novel, yet the pace is leisurely and contemplative. You feel...

PRINCESS Eugenie (left), the daughter of Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and Prince Andrew was given a "wrist slap" after being caught frolicking naked at her boarding school.
The whereabouts of the massive, white cast-iron cross that once perched high atop St. Michael's Academy on the corner of First Street and Victoria Avenue East remain a mystery to members of Brandon's Catholic community nearly three years after the site was razed to make way for the Victoria Landing retirement residence. "The last time I saw it was on the pile of gravel they had taken out for the basement, to put in the cement," said Mona Lewandowski with Sisters of Our Lady of The Mission, the international congregation group that ran the boarding school until its closure in the mid-1970s.
