History of Morgan Street Building Given

A committee, consisting of Superintendent of Schools Earl P. Watkin, E. H. F. Luke, Miss Mary Carney and Ruth Gordon, was appointed to arrange for the memorial to the late Edward A. Power, which was decided to take the form of a suitable inscription, placed on the bell from the old Morgan Street School, which was preserved before the building was razed.

Mr. Powers rang this bell from 1873 to 1908, while caretaker of the Morgan Street School and was a friend of every student during these 35 years, and whose memory is cherished by all who knew him.
