This is a decline of only two from the first term report for the students who achieve an average of over 80 percent in their examinations and term work. Of . the mid-term total, 37 were repeats from the first term and if they accomplish the feat again in the final term, will have their names permanently placed on the school's honor roll for the year. Rose Brubacher, a grade 1.1A student, once again topped the students with a mark of 92,9, a slight increase from her 91.1 in the first term. Marvin Brubacher, 9H, was the only other student to reach the over 90 mark, eclipsing it by .7 only. This was an in- crease of .6 over his first term average. The list submitted from the school shows that of the 47 students in the mid-term "Over 80 Club", 26 of them were girls. The class with the best re- cord was 911 which listed 16 students in the group, Second was 10E with eight.

O rderly Restoration of Holrnesville Cemetery". is the qh7dcleirPicgh.g1Zner44 re;"tthr Oldin.hthr! mialesgvirrenhd4On the top of Hel- Tf this plot could he .consid- ered a memorial to the pioneers, and some time and expense put into the project, it could be a most commendable achievement of the present council of the township. Many old cemeteries have been restored, and ended up as bare fields with cairns in the centre. They are most unat- tractive, but at least the nam- es of the pioneers are preserv- ed, The cemetery at Holmesyille is placed on a hill which pre- sents a wonderful. view of the land around for many miles, There are a few fine trees, including several elms and a mountain ash which is crooked because as it grew it leaned against the little white church. There are countless lilacs which sprang from roots the bereaved relatives must have planted long ago, Possibly some of the lilacs could be preserved, as they are so typical of the pioneers, Other plants which have sur- vived the years, the neglect and the periodical clean-ups are a red honeysuckle shrub, a patch of old-fashioned yellow roses and a white rose bush. There are also a red rose and in one corner, little pink prairie roses. The south-west point, where the Lobb plot was, is a mass of lily-of-the-valley. If these truly old-fashioned flowers which the pioneers themselves planted could be partly preserved, the plot could indeed be a memor- ial, If modern citizens would walk through the grounds, and see from the inscriptions on the tombs how many children died when very young, and how many adults died in their thir- ties and forties, we could be more appreciative of the age we live in now, which has wip- ed out epidemics of typhoid and other killing diseases. Young Girls Entertained By Local Explorers On Tuesday evening, April. 9 the Explorer Girls of Ontario Street United Church entertain- j ed the eight-year-old girls of the Sunday School at an East- er Party. Guests present were Heather McAdam, Ann Crittenden, Lynn Caldwell, Mary Lynn Merrill, Barbara Elliott, Catherine For- bes, Diane Tyndall and Debbie Gibbings. Under the leadership of Miss Olive Johnson and Miss Margaret Skov, several games and contests were enjoyed.

A poem, "Flowers of Easter" was recited by Lyn Gibbings, Debbie Hopf, Cheryll Tyndall, Bonnie Riehl and Mary Ann Millar. Barbara Symons a n d Marilyn Aiken sang a duet and Linda Faye East played a pi- ano solo. The program ended with a play, "The Easter Apple Hat". Those taking part were Nancy Pickett, Glenda Gray, Denise Currie, Mary Lynn Forbes, and Brenda and Bonnie Tyndall. Members of the lunch com- mittee, Glenda Gray, Nancy Pickett, Mary Ann Millar and Bonnie Riehl served cookies and freshie to the girls. The meet- ing closed with the Explorer Prayer.

Wow, we are happy to have our elderly people with us till they are 75 or SO or more, To _assist them, our government has planned allowances and p-ensions, County homes are no longer "poor houses", but pleasant and respectable residences where the elderly may live as happily as is possible, one .of my great,grandfath, ers was buried in the Holmes-. ville cemetery, lie was 44 years old, and died on June 17, 1859, My mother used to tell us that he was killed by a tree he tried to cut down in the bush. He was not • used to felling. trees because he was newly come from England. She told us how his wife was left with several children to raise alone, In our present age, we have the system of life insurance to help in such cases, and when, there is real need, the govern- ment has Mothers' Allowance, which enables a widow to keep her children with her instead of farming them out to dutiful AUBURN -- The Easter Thankoffering of the Women's Missionary Society of Knox Presbyterian Church was held in the church with guests from the UCW of Westfield, UCW of Knox United, Anglican Guild and the Auburn Baptist church present. The president, Mrs. Wilfred Sanderson, was in charge of the meeting and gave the call to worship. Mrs. Duncan Mac- Kay was the organist and play- ed quiet Easter music before the service commenced. The opening hymn was fol- lowed by prayer by Mrs. Ed Davies. The devotional period was in charge of the Westfield Ladies and Mrs. Charles Smith read the scripture lesson from the gospel of St. Matthew. Her theme for the meditation was the miracle of transformation. Mrs. Harvey McDowell led in prayer and a solo, The Old Rugged Cross, was sung by Mrs. Gordon Chamney. The hymn, Christ the Lord is Ris- en Today, was sung and then Mrs. Donald Haines introduced Rev. R, U. MacLean, the guest speaker of the afternoon. Mr. MacLean chose for his text, John 12:32 and gave an inspiring message on this verse, He told about the three -im- portant scenes in the Life of Christ and closed his Easter message with the thought that when all the kingdoms of the world will be won for Him, Christ will reign forevermore. A solo, He Died For Me, was sung by Mrs. Gordon R. Tay- lor accompanied by Mrs. Rob- ert J. Phillips. The ushers, Mrs, Alvin Leatherland and Mrs. Carl Govier received the Th- ankoffering which was dedicat- ed by Mrs. Sanderson, Invitations were accepted to attend the Blyth Easter Thank- offering on April 18 and also to the UCW of Knox United Church when all ladies, with their husbands are invited to their Easter Thankoffering on April 29. Rev. Roy Jordison, on fur- lough from Trinidad, will be guest speaker.

Several contests were enjoyed following which the hostess and her group served lunch, relatives. As an interested descendant of the pioneers, I would like to see the cemetery made into a memorial park, with most but not all of the shrubbery re- moved to facilitate mowing of the grass.. A few of the best,preserved tombstones might have new bases and be left where they are, with their antique iron railings repaired. The fallen and broken ones would have to be placed together, as is done in other restored cemeteries. It would not be irreverent, one would think, to even have a picnic table by the road, Where those who wish could linger for awhile and be a little mindful of the courage and the hardship of our pioneer fore- fathers, "A Descendant" a hymn followed by the -bene- diction by Mr MacLean, All ladies were invited to the Sunday school room where they were greeted by Mrs. Ed Dav- ies, president of the Ladies Aid and Mrs. Donald Haines, con- vener of the tea. Following the tea hour, th- anks to the Presbyterian Lad- ies was expressed by Mrs. Wil- liam T.
