[Welland Tribune, 29 March 1984]
An important milestone in Welland’s education history was reached in the mid-1920s with the start of bilingual education in the city. In 1926, there were 150 French speaking pupils attending classes at a private school connected with Sacred Heart Church. The school board, after receiving approval from the education ministry, initiated classes in French and in 1932, classes were offered in a building which became known as Coronation School.

The highlight of the February meeting of the Welland Historical Society was Merritt and Hazel Sauer’s display of their bell collection.
The Sauer’s interest in bells began in the early 1950s when Merritt Sauer’s father gave him a set of sleigh bells.
Hazel Sauer gave a presentation with the theme “The Wonderful World of Bells.” She showed bells made of brass, crystal and china, and ranging in size from a large Atlas Steel Crane bell to a one-and-a-half Dutch bell made of china. The Sauers were thanked by Jane Davies.
