     passed in all the required subjects. I often wowder how this 
     
     was possible, other than there were a couple of courses 
     
     that only required 35%. Not one pupil had passed Grade 
     
    

    
     X from Little Sands school for the preceding 50 years, and 
     
    

    
     I could not even say that entirely, since I had attended 
     
     Lyndale school for the last five months of the year. 
     
    

    
     It was some experience to land in what only a farm 
     
     boy could consider a large city. Although Charlottetown 
     
     was much smaller than today, the main traffic was around 
     
     “dizzy" block with Hughes Drug Store as the main 
     
     corner of the block. If one wished to meet a friend or 
     
     acquaintance, it was necessary to go around the block a 
     
     few times on a weekend, as studying took a great deal of 
     
     the time. 
     
    

    
     I went to the old Prince of Wales College, which 
     
     I remember had a great deal of stone in the construction. 
     
     As I was one of the lowest of the low, I was placed in the 
     
     seventh division in the college. At that time Prince of Wales 
     
     College graduated less than half of its students. There were 
     
     380 students enrolled that year, the largest number up to 
     
     date. There were 130 men and 21 women, most were from 
     
     first year. Only 93 received licenses to teach, and seven 
     
     were given a third class license. I got some kick in reading 
     
     Year Journal from the 1932 legislature book and looking 
     
     over the names of students who passed the exams. I cannot 
     
     recall many of the faces, although there were a few with 
     
     whom I came in contact in later years, such as Dr. Prowse, 
     
     whose fame in the Navy stories is still recalled. I met 
     
     Dorothy Cullen, who led the first year class and I tied with 
     
     her for third place in fourth year, some 18 years later. 
     
    

    
     The Prince of Wales College report of 1930 is still 
     
     interesting reading, even after 66 years. A great deal of 
     
     water went under the bridge since that time and, no doubt, 
     
     many of the young men who attended college that
