Class of 1945: Marvel Hairdressing School

Ken Fleming of Kindersley submitted this photo of his mother’s graduation from Marvel Hairdressing School in Toronto in 1945. She was 25 years old at the time. “My mother moved to Kindersley in 1948 and married my dad in 1949,” Ken said. She also purchased Mary Bushy’s beauty salon in the early 1970’s. The salon was known as Beth’s Beauty Salon and was located in a basement suite next door to the Silver Dragon. Bernice lived a long life in Kindersley, passing away just one day prior to her 96th birthday. Bernice is in the back row, third from the right. You may have noticed the only male in the class on the far left, middle row.
