Winter, Harry Corey, Caryl Draper. Public School Board Percy Livermore impressed on the ratepayers that a new public school is definitely needed. "The present school is overcrowded, with two classes being held in basements of nearby churches, and repairs on the 70 -year-old school would cost at least $2,000. h the ratepayers are willing, in 1952, we can take debentures for 30 years, and, with grants front the Government, along with the sale of the present school, it should cost the taxpayer barely one mill."
