Aty McNair operated a daily route delivering milk from local farms to Silverwoods Dairy in London. On picnic day, he would pick up the ice cream which came in two and a half gallon pails. These pails were put in cylindrical, insulated containers that could hold up to three stacked on top of each other. The ice cream would still be firm when opened that evening. The perfect dessert was a large piece of dark chocolate cake nestling beside two large scoops of icy-cold, silky-smooth vanilla ice cream. Finishing off the picnic supper with this queen of desserts – and tomorrow was the beginning of the Summer Holidays! Things couldn’t get any better than that! Some games and races for the kids while the adults visited together concluded the event by nine o’clock. Families made their way to their cars, the kids calling good-byes to each other. In many cases, we wouldn’t see each other until September and for grade eight graduates, it was off to high school and a whole new adventure. Graduation ceremonies for public school students were still in the future when consolidated schools came into being. Nobody thought of any special treatment because you were simply doing what was expected of you. Summer Holidays started tomorrow and that was enough.
