Howard Leslie , Teacher. called to "finish the interior of the Souris Grammar School (formerly Souris Hall) according to plans and specifications to be seen at the office of Ronald L. MacDonald , Secretary to the Trustees." It was probably at this time that classes were moved to tbe lower floor. Augustine MacDonald of St. Andrews , P.E.I , came to Souris in 1885 to stay with his uncle, Reverend Donald Francis MacDonald and attend Grammar School.69 He has left this account: The old Agricultural Hall and School faced almost opposite Currie's. ( now on this loca¬ tion.) It was our only hall. Not much used as such after St . Patrick's Hall was built but the upstairs hall was the scene of political meetings and such in the old days. Three class¬ rooms were below. Two little cloak rooms for each room under the stairs. They burned coal in the school when I came in 1885...This was the Grammar School and the Mas¬ ter, when I came here, was Ross from Lower Montague — not sure of his first name. He was a good teacher. I think my last teacher probably was Jim Landrigan—a very good teacher—taught me chemistry which was not on the course. I went from here to St. Dunstan's . (The student, of course, was later " Dr. Gus ".)70
