Mary Edna Hassan, a 1911 P.N.S. graduate, taught 35 years
in Chipman district schools and one-half year in Newcastle. She was a very successful
teacher as this excerpt from a letter written by Chief Superintendent of Education W. S.
Carter shows: "The Inspector in his report for January [1923] mentions your school as being
of special excellence. He states that your school is one of the best he has ever visited."
She was also a much-beloved and admired figure in Chipman and in her memory the
Chipman Elementary School was named after her. She died in March 1976.
