MAYOR SHARPE - A FORMER GRADUATE On January 1st, 1955, a former Earl Grey Graduate, Mr. George Sharpe, became mayor of Winnipeg. His Worship Mayor George Sharpe attended Earl Grey from Grades 1 to IX with such well-known personalities as Mr. J. Coyne, Governor and Mr. A. Beattie, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada. Mayor Sharpe recalls being class president in Grade VI. During each of his three Junior High years he was one of the class room executives. He undertook a two language course as he planned to attend University. At Earl Grey he especially enjoyed manual training. Being interested in music he sang in a choir in the Musical Festival which obtained the exceptionally high marks of 98 and 99. The choir was instructed by Miss Ethel Kinley who was then Earl Grey’s music teacher and who after¬ wards became the Music Supervisor of Schools. Later Earl Grey produced the operetta, “The Mikado” in which he played the major role of Pish Tush, a noble lord. The principal at that time was Mr. J.S. Little who came from England for the express purpose of converting Earl Grey into the first Junior High School in Canada. Mr. Little introduced the English sport of cricket to the Earl Grey boys. When Mayor Sharpe graduated from Earl Grey, he con¬ tinued his education at Kelvin High School. There he attained the positi¬ on of school president. It was also there that he was taught science by our present principal, Mr. Hensley. At Kelvin he was active in track and field and was a most capable referee for the inter-high hockey games. As he had always done well in mathematics Mayor Sharpe chose the five year course in Electrical Engineering at the University of Manitoba. When he graduated in 1933, he was offered an electrical engineering job in Peterborough, Ontario. He declined as the pay was not adequate and he did not wish to leave Winnipeg. During the depression years he sold shoes in Eatons Department Store. When World War II began, Mayor Sharpe served in the re¬ serve army with the Winnipeg Grenadiers for four and one-half years. As a transport officer he taught the recruits how to drive army trucks and motorcycles. When he left the reserves, he had risen to the rank of a lieutenant. Continued Page 2 1
