Ohone No. 12, GRANTON
General sympathy was expressed
for Mrs. J. A. McLaren, who has been
confined to her home for the past
three months with a serious illness,
but is now on the way to rapid re
covery. She was much missed.
Mr. Geo. Spotton, M.P. North Hur-
;n, came all the way from Ottawa to
make his first debut to the Huron
O.d Boys’ Association of Toronto. He
got a good reception; brought greet
ings from Mr. Goldings M.P. South
Huron and made a neat little ad
dress.
H. M. Jackson, Egmondville Old
Boy, told of the time when his father
was the Conservative candidate in
South Huron and E. Floody was
teaching school in ‘Tipperary, Goder
ich Township. H. M. is. always on
the job at Huron Old Boys’ functions
Mr. R. L. Rome, Blyth Old Boy,
spoke of the time when the west side
of B'yth was a goose pasture, his
father’s farm running right into the
village.
Principal J. A. Cameron of Earls-
eourt Public School and Bayfield Old
Boy, was one of the busiest men on
the floor.
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Campbell, vice-
presidents, fprmerly of Wingham,
supervised the program, euchre and
bridge with military precision. We
have not obtained a list of the prize
winners.
The Learned Professions were well
represented, and how could it be
otherwise with a gathering of Hur
on ites. There were lawyers and
doctors galore. Pedagogues High and
Fub’ic were as thick as the flowers
in a May garden.
“How does the County of Huron
grow such big men” inquired a re
porter as she looked at Messrs. Spot
ton, McLaren and McDermid. No
answer.
A fire in the residence of Mr. H.
B. Stowe only a few days ago kept
Mr. and Mrs. Stowe away from the
Reunion, whose absence every per
son regretted.
The Exeter Old Boys Reunion
was announced by S. J. Hicks and
was greatly applauded.
jStan Long’s orchestra supplied the
music and did it well. It was snap
py and plenty of it—far-reaching so
to speak.
Past President R. C. King was in
disposed and could not make the
grade and he was much missed.
Mr. Wm. Powell, Treasurer, and
foreman of the "Huron Expositor”
was early on the ground and looking
after the cash. His journalistic
name is "Bill Powl” and his wrti-
ings are well known to most of the
members.
“AEam and, left” “grand: right
and left” sounded like old times
at the “old tyme” dances. Mr. S. J.
Hicks was official “caller off” and
with the use of the loud speaker did
the best job that has ever been done
for the ol,d timers.
Ralph Sheppard, the new Secre
tary, was born in Clinton, being a
son of the late George Sheppard
formerly assistant Prnicipal of ‘the
Clinton Collegiate Institute.
The beautiful badges worn by the
officers were presented to the Assoc
iation by Mr. D. D. Wilson, Past
President, and Entry Secretary of
the Royal Winter Fair. "Doug.”
Wilson was always populai* with the
members of the Association.
Letters of regret were read from
Mayor Hannah. Wingham; Mayor
Sutherland of Seaforth and Mayor
McEwan, of Goderich.
Bert McCreath assisted President
Ferguson in carrying out the Pro
gram. Bert is always a live wire at
Huron Old Boys’ functions.
Ed. Floody, the Honorary Secre
tary, attended a public function for
the first time since his prolonged
illness. He is his old genial self
again and. was the centre of groups
of friends all evening receiving con
gratulations on his splendid recovery
Music for the old time dance'was
supplied by Jacks’ Orchestra, deriv
ing its name from the fact that the
members first names are Jack, this
took a lot of time and patience and
hunting the city by Mr. S. J. Hicks
to assemble this together. Jack Moon
piano player; jack Beatty, guitar
player; Jack Morrison, violin; Jack
Paton, violin; Jack Hicks, violin,
son >of 8. J. Hicks, known as the 'kid
fiddler, youngest player of old time
music in Toronto being only 14 years
old. Jack Beatty is widely known
as a guitar player both in public and
on the air. Morrison, Paton and
Moon, are a real treat to hear, hav
ing won their reputation long ago.
