Bedford 12 Crosby Drive, Bedford, Massachusetts
(6 Crosby Drive, Bedford, Massachusetts)

Reference-5: Ontario secondary school programs (1967-1970)
  • Arts and Science (A&S)
  • Business and Commerce (B&C)
  • Science Technology and Trades (ST&T)

note: IIRC, the Bedford address was originally listed as 6-12 Crosby Drive. I usually attended classes in the building at address 12 which hosted the "DEC customer" classrooms (above ground) and labs (basement) whilst address 6 contained "DEC employee" classrooms and labs. On one occasion, heavy rain resulted in a flooded basement which affected address 6 so we were directed to use the labs at address 12
