50 Years of Service In September, 1909, our old brick school opened its doors ho its first set of students. Some of these former students are ; still living in St. Albert, and are able to witness in operation ;oday, three school districts accommodating some seven hundred students. Nevertheless, the old timers still recall the happy days spent in the old brick school on the hill. It was not the old Drick shcool then, but a new building of which all of its students were proud, just as we today are proud of our new modem school buildings. Though our old brick school is outmoded, it still speaks eloquently of the past. In its fiftieth year of service, it looks Did and decrepit, but it is still for the younger generation a souvenir, as it is within its walls that many of their parents received their education. It is on the eve of being abandoned; yet, it will stand In its place on the hill until it is destroyed, and it will con¬ tinue to remind us that the present stands upon the past. Thus Lt will excite reverence for its long years of service. HAS GRACIOUSLY SPONSORED IJmwilte Mi ome THIS PAGE
