Another memory tells of a day in the early 1940s when William Wallace was the teacher and someone got a chicken from next door at the home of John Adams and put it on top of the map case, and when Mr. Wallace discovered the chicken he made the students take it out. While reaching for his rod behind the case, a vase filled with pieces of coloured papers fell over Mr. Wallace 's head. Needless to say, that put him in poor humour, but the students thought the incident was very comical. Other memories were of playing in the schoolyard at recess. When the freight train passed, the engineers Ernie Deighan and Freddie McKinnon would blow the whistle and let off the steam. A lot of ball was played at recess and dinner hour as well and in winter the children would skate and play Elmsdale School H aif.Year Report Grade X— Clayton Wallace .
