Mildred Souch CMrs. K. Caverly? remembers the heckling and insults of the boys when they played inter-form hockey games at Taylor's Arena. The tennis courts were on the west side of the school where there is now a parking lot. Volleyball was introduced as one of the sports in 1922, and when the new addition was added to the school in 1929, a much needed gym- nasium was included. It was not until this time that the first boys' basketball team was for- med. The following are the names of the teachers who taught from 1920-'21 - 1929-'30: Mr. W.J.

Finals, with the wreckers tearing down the walls of your classroom. Sometimes there was only a tarpaulin between the students and the wreckers. Talk about noisy Classrooms! When the weather was inclement we had P.T. in the Assembly which was really the at- tic. There were wooden floors and stairs all through the building and once during a Crack- the-whip session, I flew off the end of the line, landing on my knees on the wooden floor from which I acquired an inch long splinter which took a full year to work itself out.

We danced the waltz and fox-trot and held our partners quite close and sang It Ain't Go'n a Rain No More and Red Sails in the Sunset. Cadet Inspection was a big event. Levi Annis, 1922-'27 lk 41 wk Sk Ik lk An account of an ex-student Alva Roblin and his car. - His first arrival at school was in about a 1924 Hupmobile roadster, with three large spare tires, one at the rear and one each in the front fender wells. He was driving from the Newtonville area where his father owned a farm. We are all envious of his car and I was pleased when' he asked me to go for a ride at noon. My pleasure was short lived because I soon realized what a poor driver he was. As we approached the Cream of Barley Camp, after some near misses, I suggested we had gone far enough, so without reducing speed, or signalling, he made a sweeping left turn and somehow we passed between the cobblestone piers for the building overhang and the building itself - a very narrow width. We got back to the school safely. I lost no time in spreading the word around of Alva's driving. On occasion, Mr. Morrison had our first class after lunch in the silo room on the second floor and he asked where Alva was. We told him he had gone in his car. Mr. Morrison looked out the back window and told us Alva was coming down Division Street at a high speed and a second later, he had failed to make the turn into the school drive. We heard a crash and Mr. Morrison let us get up to look. He had struck the high board fence. The car was not damaged, so Alva backed up and then entered the school drive, subsequently coming up to class. As time went on, Alva was quite often late for school and always the reason was the same - tire trouble. One day, he did not arrive till noon and he told us he had two blow-outs on the way. He promptly started to fix the tires which took all afternoon, and we could hear him pounding on the tires and installing them back on the car. This really annoyed Mr. Morrison and he told him not to come to school if he didn't come in to classes. It appeared Alva had no money for new tires and eventually had to give up driving and come by bus.
