Class of ’24 holds reunion
BY CHRISTINA ROULSTON
Many of us have problems keep
ing up with school chums we have
known from just a few years ago.
Can you imagine keeping in touch
with friends from 68 years ago?
Friends from the SS No. 7 Cran
brook school's class of 1924 have
been keeping in contact with each
other since their graduation. Satur
day, Aug. 1, they held a reunion at
the home of John Perrie of RR 3,
Brussels.
Only three ladies from the origi
nal class of 12 were able to attend
since most have deceased or are
unable to travel. Lydia (nee
Jeschke) Maguire from Detroit,
Edith (nee Gorsalitz) Hayden from
Gorrie, and Irene (nee Dunn) Mac
Donald of Listowel were in atten
dance at the little get-together at
Mr. Perrie's house.
Mr. Perrie's son David and his
daughter-in-law Joan helped host
the reunion and serve the guests
dinner.
Mrs. Maguire had the idea to
hold this particular reunion—the
group has had them before.
The 1924 graduates were the
largest class to graduate from the
SS No. 7 Cranbrook school. There
were six boys and six girls in all.
Mrs. Maguire went on to be a
teacher in Detroit for many years.
Mr. Perrie farmed near Cranbrook
all his life. Mrs. MacDonald, who
was originally from Saskatchewan,
became a nurse and farmed. Mrs.
Hayden, who declares her secret
desire was always to become an
accountant, was a housewife and
farmer for many years.
All the graduates are now over
80 years of age, but their wit and
charm reveals them to be much
younger at heart.
MPP Paul Klopp (MPP Huron)
announced July 23, on behalf of
Ontario Minister of Culture and
Communications Karen Haslam, a
grant of $30,000 for the restoration
of the historic Albion Hotel in
Bayfield.
The grant will be used to restore
the historic cedar shingle roof,
verandah and wood storm windows
and repair the brickwork on the
front elevation.
“Preserving our heritage
buildings intimately connects us
with our past,” says Ms. Haslam.
“We are privileged to have the
opportunity to pass on this cultural
legacy to future generations.”
The Albion Hotel is part of a
designated heritage district in
Bayfield. It is located at the south
end of the Main Street where it
serves as a handsome introduction
to the street. The original hotel
built in 1840 was half the size of
the present structure. In 1856, an
addition was built to the south.
Later, in 1902, an ornate verandah
with carved pillars, rails and spools
was added where pations could sit
and watch passers-by.
“Heritage conservation has never
been more crucial than it is today,”
said Klopp. “Through restoration
projects such as this one. we are
doing more than remembering our
past. We are using it to give us
inspiration and guidance for the
future.”
The grant is awarded under the
ministry's Commercial Rehabili
tation Program. These grants arc
available for the conservation of
privately-owned commercial and
industrial properties that have been
designated under the Ontario
Heritage and that will be used for
commercial, industrial or multiple
unit residential purposes.
