Interesting Postcard

Wilfred Morley sent this interesting postcard of the Macdonald Schol dated 1913. It is interesting to note the balcony.

My mother would have just had her thirteenth birthday (Aug. 17th) when the card was written.

Thanks, Wilf. Nice addition to our collection. We appreciate the card. - N

Halifax Trip

Denny Johnston circulated this picture awhile back.

The MRHS Grade XIIs must have taken a trip to Halifax.

These well-dressed young men - Eric, Gerald, Neil, Watson, Corning and Denny are seen with teacher, chaperone, Al Peppard.

Probably spring of 1951.

Macdonald Consolidated Plus ...

We discovered, perhaps re-discovered, this picture yesterday.
I recognized Macdonald Consolidated School but not the other building.

Bruce MacKenzie has identified it as the Town Hall.

My brother adds: Acccording to a book by the Macdonald Museum, the building on the left was the old Middleton School. It served as the town hall until it was demolished in 1936.

Millard (Joey) added a bit more: That was the old school, town hall and court room. It's where hobos used to hang out . In the winter there was a stove in there and plenty of wood, with a buck saw. One of the visitors just took the 4 ft. long log and shoved it in as it burned off.

Thanks, All.

MRHS

A leap in time. Many of us (especially those in that kindergarten picture) spent most of our school years in Macdonald Consolidated School. Then the new school was built and we had the luxury of MRHS for Grades XI and XII. Here was the staff when I graduated in 1951. Is Al the only one still living ? Does anyone know ? Cheers, Neil
