An Old Time Fiddler’s contest was
held on Main St. Monday evening
there being four classes viz: under

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

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

These quotations from the old
