School buidling

First School building, 1920.

Unstable School building rocks with every wind that blows
The present school building, when the wind blows from the east or west, sways 18 inches out of the perpendicular and leaves the chimney standing in solitary grandeur. When the wind blows from the north or south the ends and gable emulate the movements of an accordion. The working teacher, Mr. McHugh, a returned soldier, has the children so drilled that in a fraction of a second on the alarm being given every child is more or less safely under a desk. Murray Pioneer, 19 Mar 1923.
