Memories of Blythwood

Leslie Meikle McGill, Class of '77

I remember:

  • teachers ringing hand-held bells in the school yard
  • the skating rinks that were always bumpy
  • the seemingly endless stair climb to the second floor for gym class
  • Blythwood's 50th anniversary (I think I won a poetry contest for a poem called The Memories of Blythwood)
  • the "experimental" grade 4 class (Mr. Knight) with 16 students to see if class size affected outcome (I think someone may want to take a look at that study these days!)
  • Mrs. Zammit and sleep time in kindergarten
  • Field Day
  • I think it was Mr. Humanick (sp?) with the sports car -- He taught me grade 3 (see Gord Whitaker's message)
  • going home for lunch (what a luxury!)

Just a few for the books.
