âBUCKLEY NIGHTâ
â Tonight sees the first of our annual âBuckley Nightâ events, commemorating the work of School and Lodge founder, the Rev. Sydney Buckley. It was in February 1915 (99 years ago) that Buckley became Headmaster of St James Grammar School (renamed Ivanhoe Grammar School in 1920). Some 14 pupils attended. It was on the first Tuesday of July 1946 that Ivanhoe Grammarians Lodge was consecrated, with Buckley as Chaplain, and his brother, Harry Buckley, as the Lodgeâs first Master. Our next Buckley Night is due to be held in February 2015, coinciding with the School Centenary. Tonightâs speakers are Distinguished Bros. Max Fraser, John Knorr, Michael Holloway, John Harper and David Waugh.
