There were 222 persons; crowded into, the old one-room school and spilling out into the stairways and basement. < ’ Rain fell in torrents most of the afternoon, as . if nature seemingly wept at the end of a country school.. where for , a century a steady stream of children had struggled with the business of getting, an educa­ tion. Many strong abiding friend­ ships were 'formed and some of the students, had now re­ turned to renew acquaintances, such as: Mrs.. Vinton Loucks (former Emily Hunter)1 of Min­ den; Mrs. Ray Lee (formerly ,Myrtle Crich)' of.,Ruthven; and Mrs. Orval Beam (formerly Mildred Crich)’ of Port Col- borne. ‘ ' The event '.was organized by Mr« and Mrs. Rbss Trewartha, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Falconer, Ernest Crich, Robert Lawson, Mervyn Falconer, Mr. and Mrs. Reg Lawson' and Mrs. Orville Oke. The afternoon program open­ ed with letters from two fonrier teachers, Miss Dorothy Reinke, Hamilton - and Mrs., F. Scotch- mer, Bayfield, arid a former student,' Olive Glew, now Mrs. Gordon McDonald of Strathroy, -being read by Mrs. Orville Oke and Mrs. Ross Trewartha.

Sports convened by Bob Law- son and Mervyn and Frank Fal­ coner were cut short by rain. . A great deal of interest was shown in the -display of old school registers, pictures and all school books, arranged in the classroom. ' ' ■ ■ A smorgasbord picnic lunch­ eon was laid out on tables in the school. After this- bountiful « meal many of the visitors remained for the evening party, playing cards and visiting. -The evening program began with a singsong led by George Turner with Mr?. Bob LeBeau at- the piano. A violin selection by Bill Pep­ per,-accompanied by his* daugh­ ter, Mrs. Bob LeBeau, on the piano was y enjoyed. This , was followed by a reading by Mrs. Ross Trewartha. Gregor-McGregor entertained with several stories. .George Falconer gave a brief reminis­ cent speech. Some sadness crept into the reunion when we remembered those who had hoped to see such an event take place but did not live to see it — Her­ man Grich, Mrs, Fred Pepper and Marion Matheson to men­ tion just a few. Music for dancing was sup-' plied by Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hol­ land and son and <this proved most enjoyable. . ' ' The sound system for the re­ union ,was kindly supplied by Ross Merrill. * , Tn charge of the lunch were Mrs. Frank Falconer, Mrs. Bob Lawson, and Mrs. Eldon O’Brien.

The rnain topic of conversation on the street these days is the sweltering sun which is baking everything — including humanity — until it is dry and brown. School kids, particularly those writing'fin al exams, are finding it difficult to concentrate. Of­ fice and business staff is pa­ tiently waiting for holidays or a cooling-off 'period which must surely corne. Mothers with babies and small children know what it is to have their patience tried to the breaking point. z Too bad, isn’t it, that we can’t store such memories for bleak, stormy winter days when some of this^good, old fashioned ’ summer weather would be so welcome.
