As school kids we always gathered at the flag pole to raise the Union Jack.
Does anyone remember the words of the salute? I've forgotten, but I think
it must have been something like: "I salute the Union Jack, and I promise to
do my best for King and Country. God Save the King." Is that even close?
Opening exercises include singing "Oh Canada", and the end of the day was
singing "God Save the King". After cleaning the blackboard and sweeping the
floor, we got to go home. In the morning we also carried in firewood
and pumped water for the drinking fountain.
Our school had a small barn where we kept our ponies, but we usually rode bikes
or walked. Our dads would usually haul us to school and home again with sleighs
in the bad part of winter.
