Death of Doris McCarthy, one of Malvern Collegiate's oldest and most illustrious graduates 1910-2010
We note with great sadness the death on November 25, 2010 of Doris McCarthy, class of 1926 at Malvern Collegiate Institute in Toronto's Beach neighbourhood. While she is known to the wider world as one of Canadafs foremost landscape artists, she was a force in the life of the school in the 1920s. She was on the editorial staff of the school yearbook, the Malvern Muse, which dates back to 1924. Her mother was the Founding Secretary of the Malvern Home and School Club, the forerunner of the later Home and School Association and Parent Council. The handwritten reports from those early years are still stored in the archives of the school. Doris was in contact with the school throughout her life. She created the memorial book with illustrations and calligraphy in gold in honour of the soldiers who served and died in World War II. She was invited to speak to the graduates at Malvern Commencement when she was 94. She spoke without notes of all that she had learned at Malvern which had served her well during her whole life and finished to a standing ovation from the audience. She was a credit to the school and to all the institutions of Canadian society in which she participated so actively and so long. We will miss her dearly.
