I attended from 70 to 81 when I graduated which was grade 2 to grade 12.
I am beginning to wonder who I went to school with other then for highschool............
Grade 3 was Mrs Cole.. Grade 5 was a male but I can't remember-Wilson? All I remember was he liked to give quizzes and fold the paper in 3!! Grade 7 was a tall teacher with long brown hair in a pony tail? Grade 6 was a female....... Grade 8 was Mr Sanderson...hmmmmmmmm can't forget him.
that's all I can remember for now.

OH MY GOD Wanda
Like I am suuposed to remember all that lol I started at Bayside Elementary in grade 5 and went to the highschool in the 1974. I can not remember one teachers name from elementary school, guess they didnt make a good impression, or I just couldnt wait to leave there. I came to Bayside from Nova Scotia and in grad 5 i was so bored as it was a repeat from the previous year. At that time Nova Scotia was ahead of Ontario as they didnt have grade 13.

Kindergarten -- Mrs. Barbara Shearer Grade 1 -- Mrs. Best (picked me up by the hair one day -- our nickname for her was Mrs. Worst) & Mrs. Brough Grade 2 -- Mrs. Grosjean and then moved to class with Mrs. Burke teaching 0.5 day and Miss James teaching 0.5 day. My initial report card names a Miss Bowers -- was this perhaps Mrs. Burke's maiden name? Grade 3 -- Mrs. Donna Cole (I cried when my mother told me that Mrs. Cole would be my teacher!) Grade 4 -- Mrs. Catherine Tully (I couldn't get away with anything -- the Tully family were friends of my family) Grade 5 -- Mrs. Hanrahan & Mr. Brough (Mrs. Brough's hubby)
and then school boundaries were shifted...
Grade 6 -- Sir Mackenzie Bowell Senior Elementary School Grade 7 & 8 -- Susanna Moodie Elementary School
and school boundaries were shifted again...
Grade 9-13 -- back @ Bayside!!!

Neil good to see you on the board.
We all cried when we were told we had Mrs Cole!
She actually sent me to the principal's office in public school for hitting her in the back of the head with a snowball. I think the principal was Mr England. I was so scared (I was 9) I pulled the pom pom off my hat. Being as Mrs Cole was only 3 feet tall, in the snowball area, and I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn five feet away he excused me. Boy was she p*ssed. With hindsight I should of packed some nails in the snowball.
She had a ping pong paddle she kept on the blackboard ledge that she would swat the bad kids with. Thank God I was too much of a chicken to get in trouble.
Any other Mrs Cole horror stories out there?
Sarah

Bayside Public School
Grade 3 Mrs Cole (seen alot of good kids gone bad after her class - still alive I heard - probably the p*ss and vinegar preserving her) Grade 4 Mrs Swan (best teacher I ever had) Grade 5 Mr Wickson (a bachelor living with his mother - at the time he was 33 in 1975) Grade 6 Mr Westiser (spelling?)( was OK) Grade 7 Mr Westiser & Mr Robinson (loved Mr Robinson) Grade 8 Mr Sanderson (hubba hubba)
Other teachers I remember:
Mr England - principal Mr Whittaker - music teacher played the guitar Mr Belsma Mrs Vance - vice principal. Mr Allen Mrs Hanrahan Mr Blackwell Mrs Granger
Should start a Bayside Public School thread.
Cheers SJ

Yes it must have been Mr Wickens. I do remember him being around 30 and single.........I always thought that the folding of the paper was kinda stupid ,,,,,,,,,,,,,until one day I caught myself teaching my kids that! LOL! THEY thought it was the coolest way that they didn't have to draw lines on a page. Funny what we can remember.
He is the one who taught us about the wars and Vietnam too.
Mrs Cole......hmmmmmmm I remember her telling the parents we were making maps our of flour/salt/baking powder. We were going to mix it up and then make a map on plywood and then paint them. Well after everyone bringing them in, she decided that she was going to make some kids (ME and others) pay for not doing too well on a Math test......to this day I remember sitting in class with extra math and the other "smart" kids were down on the ground making their maps and she was yelling at us for not getting this math concept that she was teaching. I went home in tears!!!!! My mother was FURIOUS that she would ask parents to send stuff in and then punish kids by not using it. I never brought another thing into school after that,,,,,,,,,
who was the music teacher? I remember him bringing in his guitar and I loved singing with it. Couldn't sing on key if my life depended on it but he didn't seem to mind ;DLOL!

who was the music teacher? I remember him bringing in his guitar and I loved singing with it. Mr. Whalen was the music teacher who would come in with his guitar for music classes. If I remember correctly he had a big shock of gray hair and seemed like an ex-hippy (although I suppose 1973ish wouldn't have made him EX-hippy by much). He owned Whalen's Music Store at the time I think and just came in part-time to teach music. About 1974-75 was the last I remember him being there. My homeroom story: G3 - Mrs. Grosjean G4 - Mr. Blackwell G5 - Mr. Wickson G6 - (Mr. Allen?) G7 - Mr. Bilsma G8 - Mr. Sanderson G9 to 12 - Mr. Begg Regards, Mike H

Yes it must have been Mr Wickens. Mrs Cole......hmmmmmmm I remember her telling the parents we were making maps our of flour/salt/baking powder. who was the music teacher? Someone else just posted the correct name -- Mr. Wickson. Never had him for a teacher, but my brother did. In fact, when my brother graduated from teacher's college many, many years later he went back to Bayside and volunteered in Mr. Wickson's classroom -- that would have been the mid-1990s. I also have memories of doing the salt/flour/water maps in Mrs. Cole's class. I don't think that mine ever, ever properly dried and I recall finding it rather mouldy a number of years later. I think the music teacher's name was Mr. Waywell -- very much a child of the 60s.
