This was vetoed.The discussion arose again in 1913 with a board of trusteesof Moses Lessard (chair), Hawley Stone and A. Laundry. Dr.Tindle and W. Campbell made a presentation to the board,stating the need for only $1500 for a new school. Some materials could be used from the old building. A heated discussion led to the resignation of the board.Under a new board (J.M. Dafoe, Gilbert Champagne, andGeorge Sedore) a new school was completed in 1914. It was a two storey frame and steel structure, had two classrooms with cloakroom, hallways and stairs and was heatedby a furnace.In 1928 the suggestion of a consolidated school fell on deafears.In 1930 the school board, then J. Yanch, Tom Juby, and J.F.Davison made inquiries about a continuation school.Continuation School classes began in Sept. 1930 with secondary school student classes on the upper level. Miss Warren was the principal and Miss Aileen Froats was assistant.Miss Kathleen Barrett taught in the junior classroom.This school became known locally as the "Tin School".In 1938 (Dec.) the Township School Board of Kaladar was established for SS#1, 2, 10 and 11. The board consisted of J. Yanch (chair), Jim Vogan, H. Marrisett, W. G. Hornick and Howard Hasler as secretary-treasurer. During the Easter vacation, the Tin School was wired by Mr. J. Sedore.Mrs. Bennett was hired as principal in 1941. In Sept. 1944 Miss Norval Inwood of Denbigh took over from Mrs. Bennett.This school came to a sad end when it burned to the ground on Jan. 5 1945. The fire was caused by a torch used to thaw frozen water pipes. Within three days classes commenced in the community hall across the road."To learn more about local school history visit: pioneer.mazinaw.on.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/2015-Spr... and download the Spring 2015 Newsletter.Part of the Carol Lessard Collection.Note: Commercial use of this image is prohibited without CDHS permission.
