More on Halfway House
- Further to our February 5
piece on the Halfway House ("Halfway House
served U of S students throughout the '20s and '30s"), we have found
- simply by calling Woodlawn Cemetery - that Harry
Fletcher, proprietor of the establishment, died in Saskatoon on June
15, 1943.
- Gwenna Moss, of Extension, tells
us that she remembers that her father, who attended the U of S in the late
teens
and early '20s, used to recite the following:
'Twas at the Halfway House they met
Romeo and Juliette,
And when they left they were in debt,
For Rome-owed what Julie-et.
- Meanwhile, Patrick Hayes, of University Archives, has happened
across a photograph (undated) that was taken from atop Qu'Apelle Hall
looking southeast (see below). Halfway House is clearly visible in the
background,
with
College Drive running at a right angle to it, a
road (no longer there) entering the campus, and the unplowed prairie
spreading beyond.
On Campus News is published by the Office of
Communications, University of Saskatchewan.
