Queen Mary school memories

From our February 2013 issue

By Bette Banks – Sutton West, Ont.

Our Grade 8 class of Queen Mary Public School in Prince Albert, Sask. were on our annual picnic. We had all biked across the North Saskatchewan River to the ‘plains’ area for a baseball game.

The boys in the class were on the ball diamond at the time the photo was taken. I recognize but cannot name the girls. The school principal is H.A. Loucks. My name then was Bette Walton.

The second photo is from 1946. The boys were a year older and the team was called ‘The Queen Mary Midgets’. Unfortunately, it was trimmed so some of the names are shaved off.

Some of the names are Federenko; Charlie Dent; Jon Mullins; Peter Rosa; Chritchley; George Corvic (editor P.A. Herald); and Owen Mackie … ?
