This is a picture of Sr. Kevin’s Grade Three class at St. Joseph’s Separate School in Barry’s Bay in 1952/53. Note the neat subtraction questions and words written on the blackboard behind the students as well as the “God Bless Our Work” phrase at the top of the board, and, of course, the ever-present letters of the alphabet. Please let us know about any corrections especially since one student is unknown and, somehow, we ended up with two Edward Stamplecoskies.
