The most significant development at OLC in 1947 was the establishment of a House System, which divided students into groups to compete for points in departments, neatness of uniforms, and athletics. The first Houses to be established were Farewell, Hare and Maxwell, named after the prominent personalities of the School’s early days. Dr. John James Hare served as the School’s first Principal until 1915. Rev. Frances Farewell succeeded him serving the School as Principal until his death in 1929. Ms. A.A. Maxwell was the Lady Principal and Dean for 21 years and was remembered as a teacher of first magnitude, a leader, and friend to the students.
