(Continued on Page 3) BANDON SCHOOL (Continued /rout Page a) concessions eight and nine, on dot 16. date is no record oftti e exact. of its erection, but it is believed to have been used for about fifteen years. The seats were along the wall. There was no playground, the build- ing being half on the road allowance, • Teachers there were: Henry Cam- eron, known as 'The Cricket Player"; Dan Whiteford, known as "The Man with the Wooden Leg"; Mr. McCrae, who is remembered by his former pupils as a peppery Highlander, de- spite his smali build was in the habit of avowing the biggest 'boys on the floor and pounding them. The present frame school building was 'built on lot 15, concession 110, sixty-seven years ago. Over sixty pupils were in attendance at that time, in contrast to the school now going to be olosed in 11959 Pram a scarcity of pupils. The sturdy school ,house is a trib- ute to the workmanship of its builder, Mr. Smithson, a Yorkshire man, who litved about two imiles west of the school. lVtr. Smithson, it is said, gain- ed local fame as "the man who was bit by lightning." He was returning - home from town one day with a neighbor, Mr. Warrener, and •fell asleep in the 'back :of bh'e wagon. A thunderstorm came up, but he did not waken and the jolting along the road got him nearer and nearer the end of the wagon. At 'bast he rolled o'ff and landed on the ground just as there came a loud clap of 'thunder. The .unfortunate man •thought he had Ib'een h'i't by the lightning. It is recalled that 'the late Tom Brown, the auctioneer, always teased Mn.'Smithson .a'bou't the time he was hit '6 lightning. y Over twenty-five years ago the sec- tion was split. Those in the north wanted the school moved. and when this was not done they 'built a new school, 'Phis was one of the reasons for decreased attendance at old No, 4 school. Another reason was the dis- appearance of the once thriving vill- age of illage-of Bandon located at the junction of the 'branches of the Maitland river. The school got its name From Ban- don village, The Teachers The first teacher in the frame school Was Miss Phemie Campbell, whose home was about three miles' from the school, She was an aunt of Mrs. George Carter.
