The “Famous Seven” of 1955-6: The Largest Grade 12 of the 1950s
It was the largest grade 12 class of the 1950s: hence “The Famous Seven.”
In the Class History, Audrey Veinotte wrote that she and Gail Thomas had gone
through the school from elementary, and went on:
‘..to where the rest of “The Famous Seven” had come from and when… Marilyn
Langille came to us from Blockhouse in grade 11, and Shirley Ernst arrived a
year later from Mader’s Cove. Douglas Wentzell, from Oakland, arrived in Grade
IX. Barbara Webber joined us this term from Bridgetown School. John David
Donaldson...having come here from Moncton in grade 3, decided to leave after Grade
X. However, he changed his mind….and came back to take his grade XII…’
