Comments: Hey busy day on the Guest page. Great !! Thought I'd add this article from the FEBRUARY 19, 1968 edition of THE SHILO STAG that describes the school as PEHS. This ought to bring back some fond - or NOT-SO-FOND memories.
"Effective March 1, 1968 a curfew will be imposed on all children within Canadian Forces Base Shilo as follows:
APPLICABLE AGES: All children who have not reached their 16th birthday will be subject to the curfew regulations.
CURFEW TIMINGS: 2130 hours daily, with 30 minutes grace allowed for children to reach their homes.
CURFEW SIGNAL: The signal will be the sounding of a steam whistle, mounted on the Central Heating Plant, which will sound for one full minute at 2130 hours.
EXCEPTIONS; Teenagers may be excepted from the curfew regulations provided that: (a) They are accompanied by a responsible adult. (b) They are in possession of a high school identity card and are proceeding towards their home from an approved function such as the theatre, community centre dance, swimming classes, etc.
IDENTITY: All teenage children will be in possession of an identity card, such as that issued by PRINCESS ELIZABETH HIGH SCHOOL, or a letter from their parents certifying as to their description, age and birth date.
ENFORCEMENT: The curfew will be enforced by the Base Military Police Section with the assistance of adult supervisors of the various base facilities and organizations such as General Strange Hall, the Ice Rink, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Teen Activities functions, etc. Any reasonable adult seeing delinquents on the streets after the curfew time is authorized to enforce the curfew by directing the child to go home and/or reporting the incident to the Base Military Police Section. All infractions will be reported to the parent's commanding officer by Provost Occurrence Report.
PUNISHMENT; Infractions of the curfew may be punished in the first instance by depriving the violator of privileges of attending base functions and using base facilities. Continued violation of the curfew will result in disciplinary action being taken against the parents of the child in accordance with The Code of Service Discipline and may result in eviction from married quarters."

Comments: I am amazed at the memories that all of your inputs bring back. And some of the names - WOW! I started in PEPS, progressed through O'Kelly, and Greenwood, finally finishing at PEHS. I left Shilo in 65 to join the RCN, later transferring to RCEME (Army), and often wondered what my school-mates were up to in their adult lives. Thanks for an excellent site - keep up the fantastic work. Paul

Comments: I remember the Princess Anne situation well. Our daughter,Wendy, was born at that time and we still have the silver baby cup engraved "From the staff of P.A.P.S.". Shortly after that the name was changed to O`Kelly. I was principal at O`Kelly until Greenwood opened.
Comments: To add to the confusion of the last few posts, I am making my first post since January of 2002. We lived in Shilo from 1955-1965, and it seems to me that before O'Kelly School was opened, the proposed name for it was to be Princess Anne Public School (P.A.P.S.). This information was apparently submitted to the Queen, who objected to having buildings named after her children at that time, hence the name change. I also remember all of the students assembling outside for the official opening and the camera crew from CKX-TV filming the event for the news that night. There was also a grainy picture published in the Brandon Sun. Does anyone else have this recollection?

Comments: I read your comments each day regarding PEPS and PEHS. It was an interesting time and it took quite a while to bring the name change about.
I was principal of Greenwood when it opened and remained there until Ed Emond retired. I took over and retired in 1987.By then the high school students were bussed into Brandon and most of the teachers were hired by the Brandon division. It was not a happy time during the years when this change was dictated by the Powers in Ottawa. I recall meetings of parents and teachers protesting that the welfare of the students was not being considered but it was a matter of $. I have a flock of old pictures that I am going to send.Some go back to 1950. There are a lot from Greenwood.Those operettas that we used to have were a real blast.Keep your memories flowing they keep my old heart ticking even though it`s lost a lot of power.

Comments: Regarding the Greenwood School opening, there is an official confirmation from Mr. Gerald Brown, a Greenwood teacher at the time. THE OFFICIAL GREENWOOD SCHOOL OPENING was at 2:00 p.m. on October 30, 1963.

Comments: There are PEHS trophies in the Shilo museum, if a local brat would take the time to look them up. A search may be required they were stored away in boxes and they dug them out for our last reunion in 05

Comments: Doug's Awards table photo and Stag articles have been added to the Great School Debate Album in the Gallery along with some comments and theories, and until the actual verification of details come forward, this should be fun! What are your memories...

Comments: I have a photo, developed in September, 1963, showing the awards table for awards night decorated with a pennant entitled "P.E.H.S.". But, I have a newspaper article from 1964 in which the school is referred to a "P.E.P. School". You know, just to add to the confusion. However, I am pretty sure I graduated from P.E.H.S. in 1964!
