reported that registration had grown to forty-nine students and Mr. McElmeel was reported as having "conducted the school with vigour and ability". Patrick McElmeel later became a priest. He lived where the late Joseph Perry resided in St. Ann's across from the second St. Ann's one- room schoolhouse.

St. Ann's one—room schoolhouse closed its doors on October 10, 1965. Because the new St. Ann's Elementary had not been completed and ready for the opening of the school year, Grades IV and V were taught in the old one-room St. Ann's school by Mrs. Marion Murphy. By mid- October St. Ann's Elementary opened, only to leave the old St. Ann's

School vacant. The vacant schoolhouse was sold to Edgar and Bertha Doiron in

1967 and remodelled into a house. It is wonderful to still have a piece of our heritage nestled in the midst of our parish; the second church of St. Ann's, and later the second school of St. Ann's, presently owned by Vincent and Pauline Doiron.

St. Ann 's School before it was remodelled into Vincent and Pauline Doiron’s home.
