This is a family photo of what appears to be a school house.  The family lived in Garden Plains near Scappa, Alberta.  We believe it may be the school house in Garden Plains. (SD 2941) The family surname was Beyer. I do not have any other information about this picture but thought someone in Alberta might identify it.  If you have anyone who might recognize this building I would appreciate it. Submitted by Bev Thon	Heres a couple of photo's I took last Christmas Eve of the old school house in South Wapiti / Alberta.  SW is is an old (very small and obscure) community south of Grande Prairie that's still populated mostly by families of the original pioneers. I believe it was - if not the last - one of the very last one room school houses to close.  I and I believe my little brother Dale were in the last class to attend here.

new! My Grandmother used to teach at two, one room schoolhouses in the area somewhere between the 30's and the 50's. One was called Arbordale? and the other was Westbranch, both a few miles north of Lacombe.  We found the Arbordale School (name as remembered by my 80 yr. old father) which is the school he attended just a mile north of his parents farm. It is in bad shape and appears abandoned for the past 30 or so years. Submitted by Doug Lawrence	new! This photo goes along with the previous photo in Lacombe. Submitted by Doug Lawrence	new!

new! My father Robert Lloyd JONES went to the Boyne School outside of Vulcan, AB. I’ve found it difficult to find any info on this school outside of the memorial that stands. Submitted by Keith Jones
