on Park School the original site was over towards Harold Street They started to lay the blocks but soon learned that the land was not firm had built on quicksand and the foundation began to sink So where Park School now stands was actually a second choice Just to give you an idea of what it looked like around the school the hospital was not yet built there was no Kin Court and no Harold Street with lis beautiful There was only one house there the older home on the hill and the people who lived there raised mink with no houses Before the rood was built it was the site of the old radial line Electric trains travell ed this route from Geo rgetown to Guelph many years earlier There were no houses in Marywood Meadows and Park School was actually on edge of The area waB quite swampy and we used to catch on the way to school or pick marsh marigolds for our teacher The first children lo attend Park School form attended Chapel Street School From September to December of 1959 we only had to go to school half days as there was not enough room for everyone to go at the same time We were proud and excited to be starting a brand new school The biggest deal for us was that the blackboards were not black but green What were we lo call them now green boards At that time there was no gym or library and the grades went from kindergarten to grade When the bell rang the boys lined up outside the boys washroom door and the girls outside the girls washroom door This Is how we entered the school We were a small school and everyone knew everyone else At recess we could be seen playing dodgeball skip ping or playing marbles Georgetown had one music teacher and he would come around to each school one day per Onte a year the public schools would have a field day in the fair grounds Every school came and everyone part icipated Park School colours were green and white and we all wore ribbons pinned proudly to our shirts We even hod our own cheerleaders I remember my Park School

school In Erin Township the No 8 Greenock School The school has since burned down From the oneroom school Mr McKeown went teach at the former Robert Little School in Acton for three years In those

Public School for a four year term as principal However health rea sons forced him back Into classroom teaching and this Is his year at Howard Wriggles worth Public School In it will be his last year I think kids have changed very much from when I first started teaching Mr said I think they re basically the same I don see much difference in their ludes He however that television has had an effect on teaching making children more stimulated by the visual lhn the auditory Kids are more ted to watching a screen than they are to listen Mr aid Because of this you have to be more dramatic In your teach ing skills You have to teach a little harder Bit all this wont mat ter anymore to Mr Mc as he gives up his lengthy career tor Ihe pleasures of retire ment
