- Description
- Photo of a class of students standing outside their school, which was located in a back alley (off of Wellington Street) in Willard's paint shop. This building was used temporarily while waiting for a more permanent building.
In "Our St. Marys Schools" (a booklet published by the St. Marys Journal and written by J.R. Stanley, M.D. the Chairman of the St. Marys Public School Board), the school is described:
"The Willard building is a comfortable room, of inconvenient shape situated in the rear of a Wellington Street block and approached by a narrow alley. There are only a few square feet of playground and no grass. At best it is a crude makeshift. It, like the stone church school, is a rented building." (page 36)
In this specific photo there is a British flag being held, most of the girls have bows in their hair, and it is obvious they are facing the sun (eyes squinting - one little boy is even covering his head). - Notes
- Condition: Very dirty with rips and tears - one specifically in the middle. Poor to fair condition.
