Teachers of Victoria Public School (1872-1973)

One of the items on the wall at the Victoria Schoolhouse that catches my eye, every week as we go there for acting class, is a list of all the teachers who taught at the school, over the 101 years from 1872 to 1973:

A poster titled "Teachers of Victoria Public School 1872-1973" that lists the years and the teacher(s) who served.

For no other reason that “somebody is going to be looking for this list at some point in the future,” I’ve transcribed the list, and I’m pasting it here for posterity.

(If you ever have a chance to pop into the school—it’s a community hall now, and home to the village office—it’s worth poking your head into the main hall to look at the collection of artifacts related to the school’s past.)
