school districts. Races were run for all the girls and boys from age 6 to age 16, plus the girls and the boys one half and one mile opens. The older the students were, the more laps around the rink the class had to go. Ribbons were given to the first, second, and third place winners and the school that had accumulated the most points at the end of the races was awarded the Eric Robinson trophy to keep until next year's Ice Sports. The first and second winners in each class also had the honour of representing the area in the Provincial Ice Sports held on artificial ice at the Charlottetown Forum. The School Ice Sports competition contmued until 1972. School outings were a special occasion and thoroughly enjoyed by the children. Teachers who taught in North Tryon after 1961 were: 1961-1970 Grade 1-4 Annie Waddell Howatt. 1970-1972 Grade 1-4 Geraldine Darby Webster . 1961-1970 Grade 5-8 Jessie Leard Craig. 1970-1971 Grade 5-8 Alan McKenzie . 1971-1972 Grade 5-8 Charles Cavanagh . Another change took place at the North Tryon School in 1972; Grades 1 and 2 pupils were bussed to Tryon Consolidated School where Eunice Rackham Waddell taught Grade 1 and Geraldine Darby Webster taught Grade 2. Grades 3 and 4 pupils from Tryon were bussed to North Tryon where Jean Boswell Howatt was the teacher. Grades 5 and 6 pupils from North Tryon and Tryon were bussed to Crapaud Village school. The provincial Department of Education consolidated all Prince Edward Island school districts into five school units effective July 1, 1972. The Units provided larger elementary schools as well as junior and senior high schools. The North Tryon , Consolidated, and Crapaud schools became part of the School Unit 3.The closure of the North Tryon and Consolidated Schools was announced on March 5, 1973 and all pupils attended Crapaud Village and Englewood schools in the fall of 1973. Englewood , which had been opened in 1961 as a high school offering Grades 9 to 12, became an elementary school, offering Grades 1 to 9, when Bluefield High School opened in 1978. Students from North Tryon were bussed to Bluefield by drivers Ernest White , and later, Carl MacDonald . A recommendation made by the Unit 3 School Board in 1979 to move the Grade 7, 8, and 9 students to a junior high school in East Wiltshire was rejected by the parents of the Englewood students. Englewood , although still classified as an elementary school in 1992, provides classes in Grades 1 to 9.
