WONDERFUL FIREWORKS ' DISPLAY > At the conclusion, of the Band 'Concert the massed bands again •paraded in front of the stands and •this was 'followed by a magnificant display of fireworks put on by Hand of Toronto. The display was! one of ■the finest that has been seen in this part of Western Ontario and high ly delighted both old and young. •Rockets boomed and flares with ■their ‘myriads of falling stars in var ious hues filled the air amid gener al expressions .of pleasure and awe (from all parts of the grounds. Near the close of the program there was a magnificent representation of Nia gara Falls which alone was thought (by some to be worth the price of •admission. To many these two pro grams were the outstanding events of tile celebration nothing having (been seen like it in Eexetr before. The committee in charge of the Band Tattoo was C. V. Pickard, W. >R.

Time Fiddlers’ Contest An Old Time Fiddler’s contest was held on Main St. Monday evening there being four classes viz: under 25 years 25 to 45 years; 45 to 70 years and over 70 years. The con test was keenly contested and at tracted considerable interest. So far we have ben unable to learn the prize winners. STREET DECORATIONS First impressions go a long to make or mar a celebration the (committee in charge saw to it that the thousands of visitors at tending the reunion! would be im mediately impressed with the hearti ness of the welcome extended to them and the lavish nature of the preparations made for their enter tainment. From the new cairns at the south ern entrance of the village to the northern limits, a mile and a half of festoons of colored flags and lights spanned the thoroughfare and blended themselves with the flags and bunting wihich transformed the stores and dwelling into a scene of gaiety and splendor unsurpassed in the history of Exeter. Yet in all the riot of color there was harmony. The merchants by ob taining their signs and banners ex pressive of goodwill from the same source (Willsco) avoided the clash of shades and lettering so often dis cordant with other decorations or each other. Nor must it be overlooked that the newly widened street with its permanent standards surmounted by large globes and the absence of un sightly wooden poles lent itself ad mirably to the capable hands of those responsible for a task that re ceived the unanimous verdict “well done.” Concessions In securing concessions the com mittee got (what they believe to be the best in Canada and at the con clusion, Mr. Cotton, manager of the company expressed himself as well satisfied with the patronage receiv ed. Excitement was provided by a Chair ride of a mile a .minute through the air and by a fern’s wheel. For those of younger years or of less strenuous taste, the al ways popular merry-go-round prov ed to be a never failing source of amusement. Then the arcade and the midway helped to while away the odd minute® when there was not a parade or gathering. Bingo was played. Hour after hour, A never ending crowd always was on hand to replace radiant winner emerging with a useful piece of aluminum ware or a pail of groceries. On Main •St. a concession operated l>y the local branch of the Legion was al most professional with barkers and callers entertaining the public to a late hour. Of course there was a side-show where the wellnigh un believable was to be seen for a very modest fee. Refreshment, booths were to be found at the fair grounds with the concessions, along the Main Street and here and there . throughout the village. Indeed, to slight tJhe memory of our student days would be treason to these very walls, whose listening ears once heard us youthfully claim: “Is learning your ambition? There is no royal road; Alike the peer and peasant Must climb to her abode. “To all the prize is open, But only he can take it Who says with Roman courage ’I’ll find a way or make it!’ ’’ All who have lived in Exeter ing the past half century know the real public service which you have rendered, but those of us who with in the thirty-five years prior to 1919 were “in the Fourth Book” in Exeter Public School had the opportunity of acquiring a portion of our education with your able assistance and kindly guidance. True appreciation of teacher by young pupils is rather an unknown quantity—knowledge of a task well done must be its own re ward. Teaching unresponsive youth must often have seemed drab and prosaic and at such times a real ef fort was required to rise above the dull monotony of the daily task. None the less, you imparted to each of us a grain of your own personality which the experience of added years has enabled us more properly to val ue. As class followed class and son succeeded his father or the daughter her mother, you wree able to form an accurate estimate of human nature and to observe its mutations through the changing years, but finding it unvarying in its essence. You realiz ed yourself to be charged with the dual responsibility of instructing the minds and shaping the characters ot boys and girls whose feet were tramping impatiently toward the beckoning threshold of manhood and womanhood. At that crucial and critical period of our lives you add ed to our home and church training the gentle influence of a kindly in structor, seeking to transfer from the open page of the school book Phone 102 “Quality always higher than price?*We Deliver rrr de- dur- to the receptive sensitiveness of our adolescent minds the realization that True worth is in being, not seeming, In doing each day that goes by Some little good—not in the dream ing Of great things to do by and by: For whatever men say in blindness And spite of the fancies of youth, There is nothing so kingly as kind ness And nothing’so royal as truth.” These quotations from the old Fourth Reader remind us of you be cause they are so suited to your temperament. Not for you were the elementary lessons and juvenile text of the junior classes, neither can one picture you endeavoring to extract romance from the realms of algebra, geometry chemistry. You revelled in thoroughness o<f “the three Day after day you read to us some well written book in the that we might acquire a spark of appreciation of literature and from you we learned enough geography to place with approximate accuracy upon the map of the world such re mote and savage regions as West Wawanosh and Patagonia, Tucker smith and Saskatchewan.
