Stanley Grammar School
Stanley Grammar School, Watervale. The newspaper cutting on the back of the photograph is from the Chronicle dated February 22, 1939 and states: The late JS Carlyon Cole did his fair share of Empire building at Stanley Grammar School, which he opened in the picturesque hills town of Watervale in 1862 and conducted for 50 years or more. Today his old pupils are scattered all over the world, and among early students who did well in after life were Sir John Duncan and his brother Walter, Dr WG Torr, Sir Frederick Young, Sir David Gordon, the late Mr President Jethro Brown, the late Thomas Stephens, Charles Goldsmith, Sidney Moody, and GA Mahood. The school laid down great traditions, and I wonder that an old Stanley Grammarian Association has not been formed. The other day I visited the big stone two storey school at which the Misses Alice and Jessie Cole live. It was an inspiration to find that the remarkable headmaster's daughters revere the memory of their father, and allow the precincts to remain in statu quo as a monument to his work. At one period Stanley Grammar school had 60 boarders. Miss Alice Cole showed me the schoolroom in which remain rows of desks literally smothered by initials carved out by students. Their knieves also had been active on the short cedar balustrades leading down from the front entrance. Maps still hang upon the walls. In an adjoining room are the old library books, geological specimens, and chemistry and physics plant. It was all so wonderful. On the schoolroom wall also are printed rules for the discipline and guidance of scholars, accompanied by penalties for infringement. Beneath these I noted the words written in pencil, "By order, H Kidman, MP" Was he the head prefect? I could comprehend more thoroughly Mr Cole's refining and exalting influence when Miss Cole took me into their living rooms, rich in treasures with Chippendale chairs, Royal Worcester china, magnificent Majolica ware, old prints, and a French clock presented to Mr Cole by his students on his 43rd birthday in 1875 at the close of the Christmas session. Mr Cole had a glass cover specially blown put over the chaste timepiece. Miss Cole told me that her father read Hibbert's Journal every evening to her mother right up to the time he died in his 85th year in October 1916. His widow now deceased was a daughter of the late Wiles Peacock of the Lands Titles Office, and a sister of Mr HF Peacock formerly of the Treasury. A photograph of the old school appears in the supplement this week. Old Students. Unfortunately all the old school rolls and records have been burnt but names I noted carved on the desks were: H Hawkins, G Goode, H Kidman, W Jackett, GA Mahood, TW Sobels, W Hawke, F Brinkworth, S Challenger, AM Cameron, Boxer Ware, HS Marshall, AH Dawson, R Perrin and H Pelton. Other students included WF, CH, AEW, G&E Treloar, C, S & R Solly, HC Mengersen, Peter Fergusson, Seymour Davies, H Overton, RH Sewell, Paul Pascoe, SG Grenfell, EE, OC, LD and TW Sobels, John James and JW Thomas, John T, and H Roach, D Guthrie, WS Heaslip, W Perry and H Croft. The school was built in three stages beginning in 1863 and ending in 1874 with the addition of huge double classrooms downstairs and more dormitories upstairs. Inside is Mintaro flagstone slate flooring.
