| I moved to Georgetown in
1951 and attended Chapel Street School. When I first entered High School I
was in the original building but they had started on the new addition. Are
you getting the idea I am ancient yet? As you all have remarked, Miss Piercey was one of my favourite teachers and an outstanding human being. Mr. Lambert was the principal all through my high school years. Mrs. Hess was teaching Home Economics and Miss Luke and Mrs.Hardy were patiently trying to drill French and Latin into our brains. Mr. Prouse used to take the classes up the long stairway into the "lab" up into the tower which was on top of the old school. Mr. Baxter, Miss Campbell and Mr. Armstrong were also on staff. Physical Education consisted of volleyball when the weather was good - a gym was a dream away but we used to use Wrigglesworth gym for our dances and any other performance. My interest was always art, but it wasn't so easy in 1958 to get into an art school so I took the secretarial course all in one year! I was an elementary school secretary for 20 years in the area, Limehouse School for 11 years and E. W. Foster in Milton and then at Harrison School. When we retired to Vancouver Island in 1988 I finally decided to fulfill my dream of studying water-colours. It has become such a wonderful hobby for me. I hope you enjoy my art and remember it is NEVER to late to fulfill your dreams...just do it! To see more of my paintings, please visit my Homepage & my Watercolour Gallery |
