- Scope and Content
- Photographs of the new Calton public school, and other buildings on the property, as well as the two teachers who will be at the school. Caption from St. Thomas Times-Journal, October 24, 1951, page eleven: “Calton Pioneers’ Children Had Nothing As Fine As This: The New School Reflects Progressive Nature of the People of Calton District.” 1_3106: “Attractive inside and out, these pictures show the modern two-room Calton public school at Calton in East Elgin. Constructed of buff brick at a cost of $42,000, it opened for use at the beginning of the school term in September and serves the joint needs of S.S. 7, Malahide, and S.S. 6, Bayham. Open house will be held in the new school Friday evening.” 1_3110: “This is the old school, across the road from the new school, in Malahide Township, which was built in 1860, bricked over in 1915, and vacated last June. It had one room, and its one teacher in recent years had her hands full with approximately 60 pupils. The new school has a staff of two teachers. It is proposed to convert this building into a community hall.” 1_3109: “Still in use, although now as a henhouse, is Calton’s first frame schoolhouse erected about 140 years ago. Since 1860, when a second building was erected, this building has stood on the farm of 94-year-old John Timpany, farther up the road. It was once on the site of his fine brick home, but for some time now has served as a hen-house in the barnyard.” 1_3113: “Two teachers, in place of the single teacher in the old school, divide the work required for over 60 pupils enrolled in the new school. They are Mrs. Jean Laemers, of Vienna (left), teacher of the senior room, and Miss Barbara Brazill, in charge of the junior room. Mrs. Laemers taught in the old school for four years. Miss Brazill joined the staff this year. Here they stand in front of the main entrance discussing possible contents for the special flower box by the door that has yet to be filled.”
