The photo-feature story as written by Tely Staff Reporter Marilyn Dun- lop emphasizes the fact that the Cart- wright village 'has come a long way since the first settlers built the log cabin which served as a school and Church over a century ago and still stands today.

On.one corner of the main street stands the first log cabin bullt in the community. . Now the cabin has new additions but the main part of the house is the log home that was built 'well over a hundred years ago by Ja- cob Muirhead.

In late spring the population is increased by hundreds of summer re- sidents, Among the permanent families are Mrs. Frayer's son, Fred, who runs the 'dance "pavillion and boat works; the McColl's who came only a few months ago from Fenelon 'Falls to run one of the general storés, and Postmaster Blyth's family. The majority of the others either go out of town to work or are retired. No industrial smoke mars the beauty of the rocky shoreline or the rolling picturesque countryside.

With this fact in mind, the Architects have planned the building so that the class rooms and adjacent play areas are on the side of the school farthest from Queen Street. The School is composed of an Audi- torium, Kindergarten, Staff facilities and eight classrooms. One of these classrooms {8 for the use of the Prin- cipal and is therefore located next to his office, The remaining seven are all grouped together in one wing of the school. Canstruction Port Perry School is a one trey building with a small basement, lerge enough to take the mechanical and electrical equipment. The floors for the majority of the school consist of a concrete slab resting on the ground. This basementless type of 'plan re- duces the cost of construction consid- erably, One of the requirements of the plan was that the Auditoriom | 'might be used for various community , activities. The design takes this in- to account and places the Auditorium close to the main entrance. If 'it is desired, the classroom wing may be closed off from the rest of the school by means of a metal gate recessed into the corridor walls, ~ (Continued on page b) Congratulations Congratulations 'and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. E.
