KEY ' TO SCHOOL—Huron-Perth Separate School Board Trustee Vince Mclnnes of Wingham presented the key to the school to retiring' Principal Mary O'Malley at the of- ficial opening of the new addition to Sacred Heart School recently. Principal Mary O'Malley retires from Sacred Heart Sacred Heart School in Wingham will lose one of its links . td' its origins - when Principal Mary O'Malley retires at the end of this month. It is evident that Mrs. O'Malley- is held in high esteem, judging by the large numher of students, teachers and parents who braved the rain Sunday and attended the retirement tea in her honor. Many former students and teachers paid fond tribute to the woman who has been principal at the school for 23 years and a stalwart sup- porter of Catholic education. Mrs. O'Malley was born and raised at Stratford, where she received her early education. She attended the Loretto Academy (a girls' high school) before heading to teachers' college in. Stra tford. Her first teaching position was at S.S. No. 1, Culross. While in the Teeswater area she met and married her husband Charles. . With eight .children in 13 years, she d dnt't have much time for teat ng. However, she did go-ba-ek-t-owor-li in -the late 1950s and spent . two years at Culross before teaching for two years in. Deernerton. It was at that time she was approached with an offer to become principal ofh Catholic school at Wingham. The offer intrigued her but she also was apprehensive as she had no idea what to expect. • The idea would not leave her and finally she agreed to take over as principal when the school opened in 1961. Her -fears- were -for --the most - part unfounded as she said r . she found the adjustment very. easy to make. The board was very supportive of her efforts -as were the parents. Their main concern was to provide a Catholic education for the students. The school started with a total of 50 pupils and two teachers. Slowly, but surely, it grew in numbers., and prestige. A Kindergarten was added in the mid-1960s • and there was an additigyt to the school in 1968. A new gymnasium, offices, classroom and library were added last year as. well. Declining enrollment appears to be the trend in the public school system, but not at Sacred Heart where the numbers .of students just keep climbing. Today, there are 123 pupils enrolled at the _school and seven teachers. Mrs. O'Malley attributes the increased enrollment to new families moving into the area and a new generation of children starting to attend school. In fact Mrs. O'Malley said many children at , the school today are the sons and daughters of • its first._ s. s «den Mrs. O'Malley definitely has mixed feelings about leaving Sacred Heart. She will miss the contact with the children most of all and with., the other teachers, although ofthe new she has hinted_she__ma-y_be_..._.. back in the fall to do some volunteer teaching. Mrs. O'Malley is happy she has so many of her 13. grandchildren nearby to spoil and visit. , She also belongs t� the Catholic Women's League, the Women's Institute and the __.Horticurttural 5oci e-ty`* in - Teeswa ter.
