Claudette Brock intro- duced the speaker for the evening, Mr. Paul Arculus. The program committee made a good choice when they asked Paul to speak. His pleasant off-hand presentation re- the history of Port Perry High School 1863 - 1900 could not hide the fact of the tremendous amount of time and effort he spent compiling the material shown by slides and explain- ed by comment. Paul's dedication and enthusiasm makes him an ideal person to write a complete history of the School. No doubt he would welcome any interes- ting, factual anecdotes rela- tive to same. Some Points of Interest The first school originated in a log building about 20' x 30" and was eventually over- crowded with 60 pupils. By 1908 the new school (the large grey brick two storey building destroyed by fire in 1926) has 'been built and heralded the famous Dugald McBride - nearly 40 years principalship tenure - during which the High School served as a Model School for teacher training. The building also housed the elementary pupils. The sprinkling of older graduates in the audience were sur- Ll prised to learn that the High School section occupied the lower storey in early years. At the first examination Port Perry High School led the province's 102 High Schools of that period. It has produced many eminent graduates not the least of whom being His Hon. Lieut. Gov. Dr. HA. Bruce. Mr. Sam Cawker thanked Mr. Arculus and tendered a small gift on behalf of the Society. The meeting closed and the crowd dispersed to view the many displays relating to the history. Refreshments were served by Dorothea Koch and Marion Carter and a visit was enjoyed over coffee and cookies.
