"Going for a Skate"

In chatting with Mrs. Bell this morning I discovered that Roland School used to have a Thursday skate after school. The buses would drive the kids from school to the rink and then wait for an hour while the kids skated to music and fraternized. Evidently being asked to go for a skate was a serious moment of courtship and could lead to a long and happy life together as it has for Mrs. Bell. For me it is a really cool insight into the history of Roland and a major contrast in how boys and girls interacted in the past compared with today. It has me wondering about historical photos (don't tell Mrs. Bell I referenced "historical" in this context please). If anyone has any interesting photos that capture some of our school and community's past traditions, please let me know. I would like to share them on our website or on this blog.
