HISTORY
1915 Y.M.C.A. After the annual examination of the Australasian Corporation of Public Accountants on Friday, the Y.M.C.A. students gathered at the association rooms for a luncheon in honour of the head tutor of the Y.M.C.A .Accountancy school, Mr. C. A. Hendry, A.I.A.,W.A. Dr. Macaulay, who presided, referred to the many changes and developments of the Y.M.C.A. during the past decade or two. The spiritual side of man's nature had always received attention. As the association progressed the mental and physical features were made prominent. The education development had been great, and this particular part of the Perth association's propaganda had been very successful. With regard to the head tutor, the students had all one story to tell: one of complete satisfaction. He then, on behalf of the students presented Mr. Hendry with a pair of handsome hairbrushes and a fountain pen. Mr. E. A.Black (Under Treasurer), supervisor of the school, said it was gratifying to know that the students recognised the fine abilities of Mr. Hendry. In him were combined an unassuming manner and a thorough knowledge of accounts which gave him special effectiveness as a tutor. The accountancy school was considered one of the best advertisements the association could have... They were happy in having amongst their staff one who had so quickly made his mark on the educational community as a first-rate accountancy tutor. He was proud to be associated in work for the men of this country with accountancy tutors like Messrs. C. A. Hendry, J. V. Pascoe, and Harold Colvin, the latter of whom had joined the colours. He looked forward in the coming years to the hearty co-operation of the brainy men of the classes in the association's work for God and man in Western Australia. Mr. Hendry expressed his deep gratitude for the tokens of esteem. His deep desire haul been not only for the success of the association, but to gain the friendship of every one of the fine body of men in the class of the Y.M.C.A.Educational Department. In conclusion, he expressed the pleasure that he had experienced in working under the Y.M.C.A. (reference)
