He has given the archives his report card for 1938. It was handmade by his teacher, Elizabeth Brothers. This was Grade 4. She made a report card for everyone in her class. We are looking for information on the school and the teacher.

Mystery people/house (Issue #442)

In September, 1946, the Churchill Park ‘garden suburb’ was just over a year old. The streets in the central area had been laid out and the first of the houses completed. To promote the development, Brian Dunfield, Chairman of the St John’s Housing Corporation, took Governor Gordon Macdonald on a tour of the new suburb. These three photos are the outcome of a ‘photo op’ in one of the houses. Dunfield and the Governor are present in all three. But who are the others? And whose house was it?
