TRANSCRIPT

Fred Laidlaw: I was in a school, down on the beach before we, while they were building the Ioco School, they had a little room down there that they the (?) woman, the lady miss Haley I think her name was, she used to row in a row boat from moody over there and teach school and then row back again.

Interviewer: What grades did she teach?

Fred Laidlaw: I guess she taught them all because she was the only one. There was nobody in high school of course, they were one, two and there I don't think they called them that then, a, b and c or something like that, I'm not sure, but we had fun with her doing it. It wasn't a thing in those day you know they and a big strap in the school that would get you up to your elbow, a piece of belting the refinery supplied to her, so you didn't have to do very much wrong before you got it, the boys, the girls never got slapped-never got strapped as you called it.
