High School in Provost
High school in Provost was challenging at first; there were so many grades in one school, and there were many different teachers with different ideas. The bus trip covered a distance of 20 miles (32 kilometres). The half-mile walk to catch the bus was difficult, particularly during the winter when the field was covered in snow and very cold. The curling team on which Marjorie played during high school won second challenge. Marjorie completed the tenth grade; she left school to get married.
