Page Wednesday December 19 Community Pinegrove Community Club hosts Christmas dinner By KAY WILSON Community Club had its Christmas dinner at the school Dec The school was beautifully decorated along with a newlycut Christmas tree tenng in the corner The tables too looked nice with candles bur ning brightly candy canes and red serviettes made you wonder if it really was the same old Pinegrove School An old coal oil lamp added to the But what 34 hungry people were waiting for most was the hot turkey dinner just tasted like Grandma used to serve up was heard repeatedly many times Following the dinner there was hear the rattle and pawing of each little hoof and sprang the jolly old fellow himself to give out the gifts and just as quickly Santa disapeared with his Ho Ho Ho and everyone sang Jingle Bells Dinner tables were cleared and card tables set up for euchre with winners Mane Murray Jean Harrop Alan and Spencer Wilson Lucky draw Anne Wilson courtesy of Webbs lowers School like all other one room school in Halton was closed in 1963 as school areas were taking over and graded schools came into practice But with the closing no more children s voices in the school yard from the

Going back to the earlier years in 1887 Pinegrove School must have been one of the up and com ing schools as Alexander Graham Bell made a visit to the school He proceeded to demonstrate how the telephone worked He went out to the wood shed at the back of the school and connected a phone from there to the school The children then had firsthand experience of the telephone as they heard their own voice over the wires However Progress has broken up that Old Gang of Ours and many have moved too far away to come back for the night Others keep trickling back as fond memories of the Olden Days are still fresh on everyones mind However new found friends as well as old from the country and town alike seem to like the country flavor at Pinegrove Community Centre and are helping to keep
