This 1898 school was considered the last word in school construction even though it was built on a barren, rocky hill with no area for a playground. The neighbouring rocks and woods proved ideal places for recreation. John B. Harvey was the first teacher in the Senior room.and Thomas Duncan in the Junior roomj ‘4‘ ' Classes continued in this school until the new Public and Continuation school was opened on Feb. 1, 1938. Other teachers who taught in this 1898-1937 school were Ernest Harvey 1906 Arron Roddick Alma Graham 1911 Bessie Johnson 1915 Ruby hebster 1921 Eleanor Tett 1924 Helen Roddick 1924-27 Frances Tye 1927 Charles Hollingsworth 1937 Bertha Legge William Jones Clifford Johnson Omar H.

This building continued to serve as a continuation school until the new Elementary and Continuation school opened Feb. 1, 1938. Miss Edna Hanna was the first Continuation School teacher and Principal. The School Board and ratepayers felt that much of the ultimate success of this educational venture was due to Miss Hanna's fine personality and untiring efforts. The second year Miss Eleanor Tett was engaged as a part time teacher in the public school where she taught both Continuation School classes as well as public school classes. The Continuation School pupils had to walk from one end of the village to the other for classes so this venture was not continued. Accordingly the United Church built an addition to Wesley Hall for an extra classroom. The Dept. of Education did not permit public school money to be used for continu- ation school purposes and vice versa. Mr. A.B. Brown manifested his interest in building a new school by collecting $245.00 during 1922 and 1923 from friends of education. At the end of l927.a balance of $4254.91 had been accumulated. Classes continued from year to year in the same building with each inspector urging that a new school building be constructed. Finally on May 14, 1937 at a School Board meeting, Frank Warren, Chairman of the School Board made the motion that notices should be posted that a public meeting be held on Tuesday, May 25th to discuss building of a new school. Hilliard Earl, a faithful and encouraging member of the Board seconded the motion. Ernest Leadbeater was secretary and the vote was unanimous to issue $20,000. debentures to be used for the construction of a new Public and continuation school. The old public school by that time was antiquated. Work began at once and the classes moved into the new school on Feb. 1, 1938. Public school classrooms were on the first floor and High school classrooms on LYNDHURST FAIR Lyndhurst Fair was held on the grounds now owned by Mrs. Ruth Patrick and Gordon Patrick. The LYndhurst Agriculutural Association was formed in 1877 under the direction of J.C. Stafford and E.C. Sliter. Mr. R. w. Copeland was chiefly responsible for later fairs and in 1892 purchased the fair grounds from the Henry Green estate. A high board fence topped with barb- ed wire enclosed the grounds on the the upper floor with a Home Economic East and North while the river and a Shop classroom in the basement bounded the grounds on the West and In Sept. Grade X111 was introduced. 1939, THANKYOU TO NBWKRO‘KNERS YOUR SUPPORT AND VOTES WERE GREAHJ’APPRECIATED JACK MONK d - flflfERKflfiE FREE WANT TO SAVE MONEY? ncan's shows you how... with a Panasonic ' Micmwave Oven...n0w!
