This bush was ideal for grade six boys (PJS only went to grade six in those days). The teachers couldn't see what was going on in there so we could indulge in gang wars in the lunch hour without fear of molestation. There were two such "gangs". Mine was led by the fearless John Hunt. The battles were conducted by throwing chunks of bark (preferably Douglas fir) at one another. Victory came with the capture of the other's fort. It was great fun and nobody got hurt. This battle ground was bounded on the south by Inglewood Avenue, which is not there today and thereby hangs a tale. Sometime after I left PJS a school playing field was put in across on the south side of Inglewood. This meant that Inglewood cut right through the school grounds. Now here is how Page 8 Cont'd. next column. Inglewood at 21®* Street - cont'd. the late Ted Baynes told me the story; "One time Inglewood used to go through the Pauline Johnson School grounds, Eddie (Ed Richardson, then Municipal Engineer) said that's ridiculous - going to kill a kid some day. So we went to council, and oh they wouldn't change it. You know the fire department, the garbage people, they wanted a quick route. Well, Eddie thought about it a while, and you know what he did? He took one of the bulldozers and just bulldozed a road around the outside and shut the road (Inglewood) off. Nobody saw it in time". The "road around the outside", which curves from the intersection of 21®* Street and Inglewood around to join Jefferson on the north side of the school - and now marked as Inglewood - destroyed our old battleground, but thanks to Eddie and Ted, PJS is a safer place.
