SCHOOL In the History written by the pupils of Indian River School 1964 they told about the early Schools but ours is an age of transition (as Adam told Eve.) A new two-room school was built in 1952; ten grades were taught in the two rooms. In 1970 Grades 7 to 12 were moved to Kensington Regional High School and Grades 1 to 6 were brought in from Malpeque and Baltic , those schools having been closed in that year. A bus driven by Mr. and Mrs. William Maclntyre leaves Malpeque and picks up all Malpeque and Baltic children, in those Grades, and brings them to Indian River every morning. Teachers, since the change over, have been: Mrs. Kenneth MacLellan , Principal; Mrs. Nason Glover, Kelvin , and Mrs. Edwin Walker , New Annan . In this year of 1973 the trend is, through the Dept. of Education, (not the wish of the parents) to close out the rural small schools. We hope to retain our two-room school for a period of years, but who knows what changes will take place? Time will tell. LIVING TRIBUTES Most of us have dates that ring a bell in our hearts each time the year rolls around to them; public dates such as Dieppe and D Day ; private ones such as birthdays, wedding and anniversaries, and the sad ones like the day Don died. Often unhappy personal anniversaries are marked with a gift of flowers to the church or a bit of green laid on a grave. But wreaths and flow¬ ers fade. Why not mark such a day with a living gift, or a gift of yourself? Are your mother's friends getting old and infirm? On the anniversary of her death, take time to call on them. Oh don't tell them why! Just say, "I hadn't seen you for so long and thought you might like to go for a ride." Or per¬ haps your husband's former business associate is in financial straits. May¬ be his wife would enjoy a dress-up lunch at a restaurant, as your guest. Don't tell her it's because today is the anniversary of your husband's death, just say you feel like splurging. Is school in session on the anniversary of your young son's death? You may want to purchase a gift for his class . . perhaps a new book, or an aquarium of tropical fish. Again, IT IS IMPORT¬ ANT NOT TO TELL THEM WHY. FOR BY TELLING YOU ARE EASING YOUR OWN HEARTACHE AT THEIR EXPENSE. Translating your deed into some¬ thing to be admired, AND ROBBING THEM OF SOME OF THE PLEASURE THE GIFT OF YOURSELF CAN BRING. . And by keeping your reason to yourself, you will grow a kittle on each occasion. You will know that you have come a little closer to being the wonderful person your loved one thought you were. 95
