  • Stu Davis: Canada's Cowboy Troubadour
    Stu Davis: Canada’s Cowboy Troubadour by Brock Silversides Stu Davis was an immense presence on Western Canada’s country music scene from the late 1930s to the late 1960s. His is a name no longer well-known, even though he was continually on the radio and television waves regionally and nationally for more than a quarter century. In addition, he released twenty-three singles, twenty albums, and published four folios of songs: a multi-layered creative output unmatched by most of his contemporaries. Born David Stewart, he was the youngest son of Alex Stewart and Magdelena Fawns. They had emigrated from Scotland to Saskatchewan in 1909, homesteading on Twp. 13, Range 15, west of the 2nd Meridian.1 This was in the middle of the great Regina Plain, near the town of Francis.

In 1920 they moved into Regina where Alex found employment as a gardener, then as a teamster for the City of Regina Parks Board. The family moved frequently: city directories show them at 1400 Rae Street (1921), 1367 Lorne North (1923), 929 Edgar Street (1924-1929), 1202 Elliott Street (1933-1936), 1265 Scarth Street for the remainder of the 1930s, and 1178 Cameron Street through the war years.2 Through these moves the family kept a hand in farming, with a small farm 12 kilometres northwest of the city near the hamlet of Boggy Creek, a stone’s throw from the scenic Qu’Appelle Valley.

  • Pioneer Progress
    The Magazine For Alumni & Friends Of GSC President Barr Saying Goodbye Teacher Prep Still Strong at Glenville State Alumni Association Recognizes Honorees Fall 2016 From Pete and Betsy Greetings to our Alumni and Supporters Betsy and I have been deeply saddened with Dora Heflin’s death in May. We became acquainted with Mrs. Heflin soon after our arrival at Glenville State and enjoyed a continuing relationship. For Betsy, Mrs. Heflin, who was the College’s first lady between 1947 and 1964, was a trusted friend, gracious tutor, and confidante. They exchanged news and reminiscences of Glenville State, families, and acquaintances. Mrs. Heflin’s service to Glenville State during her tenure as first lady and afterwards are commemorated with the Dora Heflin Garden on the approach to Clark Hall lawn. This issue of the Pioneer Progress magazine also showcases the spring 2016 commencement with Professor Joe Evans’ address to the students, happenings in the Department of Education, and the addition of boxing to the College’s roll of intercollegiate sports. Glenville State is the only West Virginia college to receive an award from the U.S. Department of Education—Dual Credit and Second Chance Pell Grants— that extends off-campus programs to underserved people. As always, Pioneer Progress’s most popular features are the back pages with photography and notes from students, alumni, and benefactors. With next year’s Pioneer Progress will come a new signature on this letter. After heartfelt discussions, Betsy and I have determined that our season at Glenville State College will end with the current school year.
