B L U F. A N I ) W HITE 1948 TRIBUTE TO OUR FIRST TEACHERS ON OUR 25th ANNIVERSARY Miss M. Auld Mr. J. Hartford It is difficult for us to realize that, back in 1922, when the Walkerville High School first opened, there was an enrollment of only 195 stu¬ dents. The new High School was built on the site of the old Walkerville Tennis Club and its first principal was Mr. Meade. Working along with him was a small, yet very capable, staff of teachers, and one of these was Miss Auld, whom we are still very fortunate to have with us. Miss Auld’s first experience with high school students was at the Continuation School, oper¬ ated in three rooms at King George School. Here she taught history, and Grade 9 English and geography. Later when our present school was built, the Technical School occupied the third floor and Miss Auld became one of the first tea¬ chers of the High Scool section. She remembers well those early days when she was the girls’ P.T. teacher. Also, as leader of the auditorium work, she directed assemblies and led community singing. Under her encouragement, the Literary Societies produced some very fine plays. In her second year at Walkerville, Miss Auld became the art teacher and all the fine work since then has been under her direction. Commenting on her career at Walkerville. Miss Auld said that she loved the school from the moment she set eyes on it and she has loved it ever since. In 1923. Walkerville High School attained the status of a collegiate and Mr. Hartford, a very fine teacher from Guelph Collegiate, came here to teach and he is still helping us over the rough spots in geometry. Since coming to W alkerville. Mr. Hartford has been invaluable in the teaching of algebra, geometry, science and commercial mathematics. He says he has enjoyed working with the Agora very much and has been pleased with the executive ability of the students and the willingness to assume responsibility. He feels that Walkerville students and teachers have been particularly fortunate in being associated with such fine principals as Mr. Meade, Mr. McNaugh- ton. and Mr. Ball. In concluding, Mr. Hartford hopes that “our splendid record of scholarship, loyalty and cour¬ tesy may be well maintained in the years which lie ahead”. BARBARA TAIT, 12A.
