say 'stand on your feet, we are behind you.' I
am beat from both sides. If the board was
elected to build the school, we should
perhaps stand by it, but the minority must
also be heard."
The petition was sent to Goderich and
Judge R.S. Hetherington was named ar-
bitrator. The consultative committee was
comprised of Reeve Carl Dalton, Seaforth:
Reeve Wilmer Hardy, Colborne; Deputy
Reeve Everett Mcllwain, Goderich
Township.
The majority won in the case of Huron
Centennial School and education minister
William Davis was on' hand to officially open
the $800,000 school in October, 1967.
"The educational opportunities for your
children are comparable to those being pro
vided in any school in Ontario...It's a
number one school," he said.
Arnold Mathers was the first Huron
Centennial School principal. Teachers dur-
ing the first year were Edith Turner,
Margaret Baker, Jean Currie, Clara Scott,
Vera Hood, Mina Talbot, Shirley Reynolds,
Edith Swan, Shirley Carter, Laurabelle
Reichert, Norma Gemmell, Adriann Brand,
Joan Elliott, Barbara Alexander, Peggy
Rowcliffe, Spencer Jeffery, Marilyn Mar-
shall.
In an article that appeared in the Exeter
Times -Advocate on May 25, 1967, Mr.
Mathers wrote, "During the past 20 years
the pace of change has been accelerated in
Western society. The thurst of education is
to truly mirror the society which it serves.
However, the rural schools, a servant of the
stable' agricultural community, were af-
fected little by educational changes.
"Therefore, the movement of the Stanley,
Bayfield, Tuckersmith and Egmondville
pupils to their new central school signifies
far more than the movement to new
quarters. It hails an era of education to
these townships and villages which is on a
par with the educational systems of the
cities."
The structure of the school has remained
unchanged. If has an auditorium, 20.
classrooms, a staff room, health room, utili-
ty room, storage room as well as offices.
During the 1984-85 school year, 484 student
attended.
