G. dropped off this photo of Prince Street Elementary School this morning, taken in 1961. You can see the new school being built in the background. Photo comes from David MacNevin.

Seems a shame to replace such
Seems a shame to replace such a lovely building with what looks like a cannery — but that’s how it goes.

I went to Prince Street
I went to Prince Street School 1955-1961. Many fond memories. The top floow was an assembly hall. There were I believe 16 large class rooms with cloak rooms. I recall the cloak rooms as I spent some down time in them. Miss Mable Matheson was principal. Miss Mac Kenzie was the music teacher, later replaced by Mr. Thompson. Teachers I recall. Miss Alice Frazer, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs Duvar. Large playground where we all spent many summer days playing. Nice to see the old school again. I can recall it being very cold in those school rooms in the winter time. I believe we moved into the new school in grade 5 which was in 1960. I may well be wrong
La classe de Mme Parsons ont
La classe de Mme Parsons ont ecouté la histoire de l’école Prince Street. I gave the class a snapshot of my old school’s history between 1967-1971. Great memories! One student said I liked looking at the old Prince Street School, but I prefer the new school. Bravo l’école Prince Street.
