The Layout of the School

Generally I have a rather good recollection of the room, hall, restroom and other layout of the three levels of the school building as shown in the accompanying sketches. But some of the details are certainly questionable, not that it makes much difference at this point.

During a relatively recent visit to the school in Gowrie (perhaps 1994) my brother Vincent had arranged for us siblings to tour the existing facility. The building had been enlarged and the interior rearranged in part but significant parts were still recognizable to me. The changes were certainly in part the result of the consolidation of schools that has occurred in post-WWII years. For example I believe that Gowrie now provides the high school for the Gowrie/Callender/Moorland schools (now renamed “Prairie Valley”) with the other two towns providing primary and junior high facilities.
