Thirty great years for Prince Albert Public Prince Albert Public School has been around for 30 years . It has changed from a four room school house to a vil- lage of portables. During Education Week, April 24 - 28, instead of holding the traditional Science Fair, Prince Albert will be having a party. Former students, staff and parents will be invited to re- turn to the institute which helped them through some of the best years of their life. The anniversary commit- tee at Prince Albert P.S. has ar- ranged for a tea on Wednesday April 26 for former staff and students followed by an open house for current students and parents to meet the former group. The open house will fea- ture presentations in the gym- nasium followed by classroom visits. During the course of educa- tion week, the students today will be reliving the events of 1959. There will be opportuni- ty to particiapate in a Sock Hop, Hula Hoop contest, Time Capsule, 50's dress up day and more. In order to make this week more memorable and to rea- quant today's students with how the school used to be, the anniversary committee is ask- ing for local residents to look in: their back closets for memora- bilia dating back to the first decade of the school. Anyone who can loan the school an old picture (prior to 1967), an old text book, or stu- dent work from that epoch, is being called upon to do so. The impetus for this anni- versary celebration came from the knowledge that major changes will be coming in the next school year. With the completion of the new S.A. Cawker Public School in Port Perry the 400 current students and the 37staff mem- bers at Prince Albert P.S. will be reduced by half. Many of the portables will disappear, and only 200 stu- dents and appropriate staffin will remain. In fact, the schoo will be closer to the way it was in 1959 then it has been for a decade. Anyone with materials to donate is asked to contact the school at their earliest conven- ience.
