Caretakers a 'Their Nightly. Task
4.061.
Percy C. Livermore, or "foss", as all the children and half
the town • know him, is weilding a well-oiled mop here, as he
and his helper, Jim Johnston, begin their nightly task of clean-
ing the 13 -room school. Each evening the classrooms are dusted
and swept, and once a week, the floors are given a good buffing
with a new floor -polisher. At the old School building Mr. Liver-
more did the work himself and found time at school opening
and closing time, to do a little bit of traffic directing at the
corner of William and Ontario Streets, where most of the children
crossed. However, the new school has proven a handful, and
the assistance of Mr... -Johnston has been called in. Mr. Livermore
has been school caretaker for two years, (Photo by Oliver')

"Load in the Joy of School Let Out"
This small mob of ypungsters is making its way, with speed through the exit at the south-
east side of Clinton Public School at four o'clock dismissal. This just one of five doors leading to
the outside world, and each one of them is used by a good number of youngsters. After all, there
are about 460 pupils attending the school, and even 90 children going out each of the doorways
creates quite a traffic jam.
Perhaps you can pick out some , youngsters you know here. We'll warn you that the over -size
one at the. left rear is not a public school pupil. That's G. W. McGee, teacher at Clinton District
Collegiate Institute. The evening this picture was taken, there had been an exceptionally heavy
downpour of rain, and Mr, McGee had come up to collect his young son, (Photo by Oliver)
Street East, Toronto.
In 1905 he married Mary
Gillespie, daughter of the late
Duncan Gillespie of Stayner,
who passed away in July, 1942.
Secondly, he married Evaleen
Kilby in 1943.
