This cache is sixth in our Rabbittown neighbourhood series, and the third to be hidden near a former school that one of our team attended. Booth Memorial opened in 1961. It was initially a Salvation Army school, part of the network of Salvation Army buildings on Adams Avenue that includes the St. John's Citadel Corps, the divisional headquarters, and the Book and Bible House. Booth eventually lost its distinctive identity as a Salvation Army school and became part of the Avalon Consolidated School Board (and eventually the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District), but its name still paid tribute to William and Catherine Booth, founders of the Salvation Army.
Booth Memorial and its neighbouring school, Bishop's College, both closed in June 2015, and all students were transferred to the new Waterford Valley High School in the west end of the city. With the closure of Booth, Mr. Rock Whovian's record is unbroken -- every school he attended, from kindergarten to the end of high school, has now been shut down. (We are somewhat concerned now about the future of MUN's school of Engineering, from which he also graduated).
You will find this nano cache just off the school property. Bring your own pen or pencil; a pair of tweezers would be handy also!
