Old Boys Reunion Hensall is doing itself proud tlhis week in entertaining the great num­ ber of old boys and girls who have returned home to spend old home week as the guests of the village of Hensall. On Friday and (Saturday hundreds arrived and tlhey still kept coming till it was estimated that on Monday 8,000 former old boys and girls and other friends were in the village. They were here from every part of Ontario, the Western Pro­ vinces and British Columbia and by the number of American licenses seen on the cars in the streets nearly every state in the Union must have been represented. Murad- McPher­ son was home from Salmon City, Idaho. Florence Pope was home from Hood River, Oregon and Rev. J. 6. and Mrs. Henderson from Vancouver. See list iof visitors elsewhere. The town and the park grounds are beautifully decorated. (Some fam­ ilies are entertaining from 20 to 25 guests and the whole town is filled with a big happy crowd, The com­ mittee in charge of the proceedings are President, J. W.

A big crowd was in town Saturday evening, the princi­ pal entertainment being an open air .dance with the Denomme orchestra of Zurich supplying the music and the Bingo games put on by the Canadian Legion were well patronized and greatly enjoyed, Sunday was a busy day with the church memorial and -decoration services and the sacred baud concert at the park at night. After the band concert huge crowds were on the streets and at half past twelve fun started fast and furious. A large tordh light procession parad­ ed up and down the streets. There was some open air dancing but the big, good-natured crowd seemed in­ clined to other forms of amusements. One feature of the Re-union is the splendid order which is being main­ tained, only two policemen being re­ quired to control tihe vast crowds. Sunday in the Churches Throngs of visitors and local resi­ dents crowded the churches on Sun­ day both morning and evening in the specially arranged services for the Old Boys Reunion. 'Every seat was taken in all three churches and interest shown. At the United Church the morning service was conducted by Rev. Dr. J. S. Henderson, of Vancouver,, a former pastor of Carmel Presbyter­ ian Church here. In the evening Rev. E. M. Me. L. Smith, of Pene- tanguishene, another Hensall Old Boy took the service.

The memorial service which hon­ ored the pioneers oif the district, the war dead and the farmer members of local lodges attracted hundreds in the afternoon. The veterans of the Great War were honored in the memorial service at the soldiers’ monument where Rev. W. J. Hendry of St. Paul’s church was the speaker. Last Post and Reveille were sounded by Fred Beer and assisting at the monument service was (Sidney McAr­ thur.

Pupils and Teachers Revisit School At 10 o’clock Monday morning there was a big reunion of the form­ er teachers and pupils of the public ischool. This seemed to be one of the greatest features and it seamed hard to- get the crowd away from the school grounds where so many had spent their first happy years at school. The first public school class under their teacher Miss Jennie Murray was formed. In this class were three brothers Andrew B. Bell, of Tuckersmith, John C. Bell, Oif Kippen and Daniel S.

Several hundred cars dozens of clowns- and other perform­ ers paraded down Main St. to tihe park grounds. A number of selec­ tions were given by the Exeter and other bands and the first part of the program put on by Exeter people. The main program was put on by London artists..

The Exeter band, in their new natty uniforms, created a very favorable impression-. The evening parade was at least two miles long. After tlhe concert was -over and all the crowd down town, the streets were almost impassible. Thousands of people lined King St.; huge crowds were around the large dancing pavilion on tlhe station grounds where Shorty Grant and his orchestra fr-om Exeter were playing for the dance. The large town- hall was also crowded all evening where they danced the old style with the Denomme orchestra of Zurich sup­ plied the music. Massed bands parad­ ed the streets followed by hundreds some dressed in all kinds of comic costumes and the big happy crowd certanly had a big night’s enjoyment lasting well on towards morning. Wednesday On Wednesday morning tlhere was another band concert on King St. and a bowling tournament on the green. At noon on Wednesday it was estimated that between 1500 and 1600 actual Hensall Old Boys and Girls were here for the reunion. A great many did not register and we hope that the Old Boys and Girls got as much pleasure in their visit as we had in their coming.

Another enjoyable feature of the Wednesday afternoon program was the big Strawberry supper served by the ladies of tlhe United Church on the church grounds. One good feature cf the reunion is the splendid order being main­ tained. Just two police are handling the crowds. Class Banquet One of the unique features of the Hensall Reunion was the banquet given by the Wo-hela Sunday School class of the United Church in honor of tlhe former members of Miss El­ lis’ class.
