In Memory
Rimgaudas Slizys (Class of 1957) – passed away 27 August 2014. A brave an outstanding Collegian, Rimgaudas escaped from behind the Iron Curtain in 1951 with little or no knowledge of English and went on to become Dux of St Bede’s in 1957. He received First Class Honours in Chemistry and Calculus; Second Class Honours in Physics and Pure Maths and a pass in English – must constitute a near record. At school, he was described as a “veritable inspiration to all”. May he rest in peace.
John Quinn (Class of 1943) – Son of Patrick and May Quinn and younger brother of Frank (the first student to attend St Bede’s College). After completing his education at St Bede’s, John started working for the ANZ Bank in Queensland until 1962. He then bought and ran the Pascoe Vale Newsagency and later the Blackburn newsagency. He was a very keen Collingwood football supporter and his daughter Ann was Pat Cash’s coach when he won the Wimbledon Men’s single tennis championship in 1987. May he rest in peace.
