In this project attempting to digitize Department of Education files held at the provincial archives with a digital camera, the school district images offered below, the dates of the papers are more current working their way to more historic pages. The beginnings of the school are at the bottom of the page. The yellow map was from another Provincial Archives search. These web pages are a work in progress.(However, all the pages are online, it would be nice to "neaten" them up with some cropping) The web pages which are available by clicking on the thumbnails are from Provincial Archives Collection Call Number R177.10/7 File number 349, Description of Item, Department of Education Records. In 1955 students and teachers compiled a history of their area. These reports were also submitted to the Saskatchewan Provincial Archives, and kept on file. The Rob Roy school project listed all the teachers at Rob Roy between 1912 to 1955.
To glean the informaton for their report, the students interviewed; Mr. Clifford Whittle, Mr. Archie Pennington, Mrs. Hannah Pennington, Mr. Robert Raeburn, Mr. George MacDonald, Mr. Irvin Pennington, Mr. Leo Claypool, Mr. James Williamson, Mr. Norman Gillis, and Mr. Samuel Dewey. Under the teacher, Mrs. J. Sieman, the students who came together to write up the report were Darlene Claypool, Diana Claypoool, Joan Pennington, Barbara Pennington, Ann Pennington, Del Claypool, Wayne Claypool, Errol Claypool, and Ernest Pennington. In August of 1954, "the Department of Education, in partnership with the SAskatchewan Teacher's Federation, has planned a social studies unit to make participation" in celebrating Saskatchewan's Golden Jubilee. An outline was sent out to every Saskatchewan school to be used as a general guide upon which to base an illustrated booklet comprising the history of the school community. It was encouraged that all pupils should tak part, and a student be appointed editor to coordinate the various aspects of the project. The booklet's end use was "display at exhibitions, libraries or other suitable centre." The outline could be written either chronologically or by topic. Some of the subjects presented (along with guidelines) are summarized as;
All in all, the report was to be at least 3,000 words with a table of contents. "Local newspaper editors or boards of trade might be interested in having portions of the history printed." The teacher was allowed to incorporate the project into the year's curriculum, and was adivised which areas could be substituted for other specific sections of the prescribed social studies course as per the Department of Education. This above information was gleaned from the Saskatchewan Provincial Archives Collection Call Number R3.27 Microfilm Golden Jubilee School Histories. |
