By 1I a Reporter, The Olarletmati meeting of the Literary Society wan Mild last Friday, tha proal. dent, Mr. Carter McKee, occupying the chair, After thee business part of the meeting was finishedthe program then proceeded. The chairman's address was short, witty and ex ceedioglyinteresting The Harmonica I3attd was pretent in full force, and rendered dome excellent selection's, Mies F. Price and Mr, J. Allan each favored ne with a reading; a dialogue in which three prominent sohoel boys .artistioally exhibited their skill, was quite interesting; a vocal duet by Mies. Ethel Tipling and. Miss M Helmuth was appreolated by all; Miss Ethel Tipliug favored us with a violin Bolo;of course our'•Journal" was read. Tina was the first Journal under the new editorial staff,, and they certainly covered themselves with glory. Mr. J. A. Taylor was called to the platform to make a speech, Mr. Clifford Tre- leaven then read an address, while Mr.. Oarter McKee presented Mr. Taylor with a gold headed sane, as a slight token of lave and respect the teachers and students bore their principal. Mr. Taylor then addressed ns, after rendering his sincere thanks, He spoke on High aohool neceesities and improve - .menta, which our school should make, thole as a gymnasium, a oommeroial course, an open-air skating rink, an equipment for drill, and an addition to the present building to accomodate the present attendance. Mr. Taylor also mentioned the growth in attendance. In 1006 it was nue ?tun• dred and twenty, in 1907 one hundred and forty, in 19021 one hundred and sixty, at present it is sine hundred and seventy, "and in two years will be two hundred," said our principal. The examination results have shown the exoellenoe -of our high sohool. In three years the school or rather the terehers passed eighty-one for junior leaving, thirty for junior matriculation, thirty-nine for senior leaving, received fifty first-class honors, and four hun- red dollars in eoholarebips. This cer- tainly is remarkable. Mr. Taylor spoke of the excellence of his staff, that there was none superior to it in any of the high eohoois or oollegi- atos, of the harmonious relations that always existed among the teaohers,there never being any discord, of their very high academic qualifications, and how they always responded to every request and aided him in every undertaking. Mr. Taylor condoled with a feeling of reference to his relations with the stu- dents, of their excellent discipline, their earnestness, sincerity and hard work, of the megnificent "esprit de oors" ob- taining in the school. He enjoined them to be earnest, sincere, and to make the most and best out of life but to re, member that there Is a God, "To thine own self be true and it follows night and day, thou must not be false to any man." • "Tis hard to part with friends most dear, Perhaps 'twill oause a sigh, or tear, Then speed away, give little warning, Say not good -night but in some brighter clime Bid me good morning." These were Mr. Taylor's farewell words and will ever remain in the minds of all the students. Miss, M. A. Baird acted as critic, and pronounced every number on the pro- gram excellent. She suggested that some day when Mr, Taylor was tired listening to the montoonous humdrum of o -a -t, oat; m-a.t, mat; h-a•t, hat; he might possibly seek his present proles- fessxon, Miss Baird very cleverly ar- ranged a poem, which we have not room for. Among the ex -students of the. High Sh000lh w o have returned for the Christ- mas vacation are Miss O. R. Orniok- shank, Miss S. Oruickehank, Miss M. L. Ross, Mies I, Davit, Miss E. Isbister, Mr. T. E Robinson, Mr. A, Isbister, Mr, R. MoBnrney, Mr. H. 0. Pugh and doubtless many others, whom we have not yet seen. Mr. Roy Gallagher visited in Tees - water during the past week.
