Series consists of records from school years of Lou Collins and his younger brother Laurence Collins (1923-1943).

Exercise books are from 1933-1940 and provide a sample of curriculum and teaching methods (in terms of content, exercise structure, etc.) during the period covered. Series also includes a small amount of records from 1944 related to Lou's time as a student at Dalhousie University. Also included are some textbooks, including older books with dates as early as 1894. In addition, series includes school art folios, notes, scrapbooks, clippings, and ephemera. CR30F
