     interesting, as it was English history. I was interested 
     
    

    
     in English history and had visited many historical sites 
     
     during my every sixth week on operations in the RCAF 
     
     when I could travel anywhere in England, free-of-charge. 
     
     This history was important as I had written the maritime 
     
     exams and made 78 per cent. Then I had the same history 
     
     in Prince of Wales College and after a year of study, I made 
     
     79 per cent, my lowest mark in 4th year. I have a saturation 
     
     point in history. I was the first teacher next to the principal. 
     
     Later, there were 22 teachers - all with degrees, and when 
     
     pay increase came, I got it and as a result, the degree 
     
     teachers complained. Finally Mr. Hibbard said, ”The first 
     
     time you tell them what your salary is, I will fire you.” It 
     
     was fun watching out the window to see what went on in 
     
     the hilly streets below the Academy. 
     
    

    
     Following the Halifax teaching, we moved to the 
     
     army barracks which had been built during the War in 
     
     Windsor, Nova Scotia. I had to walk about a mile and a 
     
     half to the park. There I only taught Geometry, and filled 
     
     out the timetables, as there were several teachers. Windsor 
     
     is a small town and what was odd about it was the 40 foot 
     
     tides - a ship could be sitting in the mud, getting loaded 
     
     with gypsum in the morning, and riding high on the 
     
     waves six hours later. I also gave an IQ to all the students 
     
     and corrected them. The only one who made a 100 per cent 
     
     of the answers was my future wife, who was teaching in 
     
     Windsor and asked if she could take the test. Speaking of 
     
     IQ’s one student, a son of one of the government members 
     
     of Nova Scotia, only got 10 questions correct on the first 
     
     test and 8 right on the second. It was the lowest score I ever 
     
     heard. The teachers would try each month to have him 
     
     expelled but I and another teacher, who had studied for 
     
     the priesthood, used to speak up for him, as he had a great 
     
     personality and tried to study all the time and by writing
