Clandeboye School Reunion Before Its Demolition
Mrs. N J Anderson joined a reunion of former pupils and teachers of the Clandeboye old stone school on July 25 before it is demolished. Built in 1916 of tyndall stone, it has stood empty since January 1970 as a modern open area classroom building replaces it for 150 to 180 students from kindergarten to year VI. The new facility features a large open area room with carpeted floor, soundproof ceiling and abundant light, eight octagonal tables for eight, 8-10 cubicles, seven teachers, and a flexible layout encouraging work in library, laboratory, or art. The old bell rang for the last time last Saturday as the new concept setting is underway.
