The document describes school in the past, noting that playgrounds were large fields with trees for climbing and activities like catching eels in creeks. Fights sometimes broke out at recess that teachers had to stop. Students weren't allowed to visit the library until grade 3, though some early readers could go, and the library was only open twice a week where students could check out 3 books at a time on monthly trips. Class sizes varied from 20-30 students on average but sometimes combined grades led to larger classes of around 60 students.
2. Back in the days they didn’t have as much play-ground equipment so they had more fun playing with marbles and jump ropes, those were the days… Their play-ground area was a huge field for playing around in and big trees all around to climb and swing on and a creek to catch eels in YUMMY… Quiet often the boys would have a huge conflict at morning tea or lunch-time and most of the time the teachers on guard have to stop the fight… Play-ground
3. Usually your weren't aloud to go to the library tell grade 3 but some were given the opportunity to in early but only if they were good readers… The library opening hours were twice a week, and you could get 3 books at a time… They took a bus out to the library every month… Library
