School

You mentioned going to school.  Did you go to school here?

Yeah…do you remember seeing a trailer between here and Drum Head?  A mobile home, I’d call it.  Well, the school was on the hill, just below that.  There’s a house there.  A Manthorne family lives there.  And the school was there.  Right before that, the old school where I started was down below that, over by the water.  There’s nothing there now that the school’s been gone…I wonder why.

Was it called the Drum Head School?

No, that was Seal Harbour School.  And then the new, the other school, is up to Drum Head.  And I didn’t go there; I ended my career there in the one year, while they was building the new school.

What grade did you go to?

Me?

What grade did we have here?

Grade ten.

That was the highest?

Yes.
