Perth News - 1887
Perth High School - Yesterday morning, Sir Malcolm Fraser, the Chairman of the Board of Governors, distributed the usual form prizes to the successful scholars of the High School. The occasion was of considerable interest to the boys, as it had been chosen by the Head Master, Mr TB Beuttler, to announce his resignation of the post has has so long and ably filled, and to bid farewell to the boys amongst whom he is deservedly popular. The presentation took place in the school, the following boys being the prize winners: Vl. Form, Hussey; V. Form, Lacey; lV. Form, Barker; lll.Form, Campbell; ll. Form, Davey; l. Form, Loton. Prime for examination map and general good work, Hall. Sir Malcolm Fraser said it afforded him great pleasure to give the prizes to those meritorious boys who had gained them. He wished he had prizes to give to all, but, of course, it was those who showed the most merit who got them. He was sorry it was the last time he should have the privilege of distributing them at the request of their Head Master. Mr Beuttler had been among them for six years, and the school had attained its present standard mainly through his exertions. As they were aware, the new master was on his way to the colony, and he expected he would arrive by the commencement of next month. He wished them a Happy Christmas, a merry new year, and a safe return to school after their holidays. (Cheers) Mr Haynes, the second master, said that both the present boys and some of the past had joined in procuring a token of the respect and esteem they felt for Mr Beuttler as their Head-Master. He called upon Hussey who was now the head of the school to address Mr Beuttler on behalf of the boys; Three hearty cheers having been given for Mr Beuttler, at the request of Sir Malcolm Fraser, Hussey stepped forward, and made a very neat speech, expressive of the boys' hearty liking for their Head-Master, their regret at his leaving them, and their good wishes for his future. He concluded his address by wishing both Mr and Mrs Beuttler a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Mr Beuttler siad he could only say he was very much obliged to them. Had he been aware that they were going to do such a thing hew would have stopped them. At the same time he thanked them most sincerely. (Cheers). They had said they owed a deal to him. All he could say, was, that he had tried to do just and best for them all. (Cheers) and that he could not have done what he had, if it had not been for the cooperation of the governing body and the masters, and above all of Mr Haynes. Few of them knew how hard Mr Haynes worked, and how true and loyal he had been to the school. (Cheers) And now he wanted to say something about the new head master. He hoped that when he came to the School, he would be able to say that this was not only a High School, but motives and conduct were in that name. They must remember that a school like theirs was banded to a republic, and, as far as they are concerned, the School depended on their to their Head Master. They had been very loyal to him, and he hoped they would be the same to their new master. They could imagine what a country would be if there was a want of loyalty to their chief. They would remember when the new master came, that they must let him find them a united School, and both in their games, their work, and their conduct a credit to their School, and to their colony. He would ask them to forgive him for any hard words they had heard from him. (Cheers) They had not had much of the cane while he was there -(Cheers) - indeed, it had been said of him that his bark was a good deal worse than his bite. (Cheers) They had always been very good friends -(cheers)- and he trusted they would always look back upon him with kindly remembrance. (prolonged cheers) Cheers were then given for Mr Haynes, Mr Hankin, and Sir Malcolm Fraser, and, the Chairman having briefly responded, the proceedings terminated. Mr Beuttler then went round and shook hands with each of the boys, and bade them farewell, after which the School broke up for the Christmas vacation. The testimonial presented by the boys to Mr Beuttler consisted of a large and handsome clock and a pair of bronze vases.
