The land was purchased in 1874
for a high school for 56 pupils. The
next year a school was erected', and.
in 1878'it• was enlarged by a two '
storey addition.

lic School in Goderich,, named
after a Canadian poet and writer

said that.
the Recreation Board was not now
interested in the old Victor Lauriston

would be more appropriate, being

',D.J. Murphy suggested that the
Board 'find out the value o.f the land
