By JOY SCHEIFELE AILSA CRAIG East Williams finds not only its students busy at work there these days, but also a goodly number of adults have been actively involved at the school as they try to piece together the school’s twenty-five years of history. School secretary Mrs. Beth Wiseman has been helping oversee a com- plilation of pictures and reports which will be put together in a book to com memorate the school’s twenty-fifth anniversary. Anyone with class pictures or photos of school activities over the years is asked to get in touch with the school. The books will not likely be available before next Sep tember when they will be put on sale for any who are in terested. The book will include pictures and accounts of the “feeder schools” which fed into East Williams. These include the SS No. 1 Carlisle, SS 2 McEwen, SS3 Lochabar, SS 5 Nairn, SS 7 Springbank, SS 6 Beechwood, SS 9 The Twelfth School, SS 10 Bor- nish and SS 14 Union No. 2, a Union School at Crathie. Most of these schools were built around 1850 and some of the buildings are still present today. East Williams was officially opened in September 1952. Volunteers have gathered much information from the local Tweedsmuir History books and are indebted to the ladies of the Women’s Institute for their operation and help. Betty Crawford, EmilyMcLachlan, Mary Ross, Marie Campbell, Evelyn McNaughton, Alice Lumsden, Isobel Cruickshank and Nancy Robson have been spending much time and effort on the project both typing and gathering information. SCHOOL HISTORY — East Williams School secretary, Mrs. Beth Wiseman, works with volunteer Mrs. Evelyn McNaughton as they compile a book on the history of East Williams Public School commemorating the school's twenty-fifth anniversary.

Led by their choir director teacher, Miss L. Sinclair, the children gave an outstanding performance of the operetta, “Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Coat.” Mrs. Nancy McGregor ac companied the choir on the piano. Soloist Dean Bender portrayed young Joseph while the role of Pharaoh was sung by Cindy Hooper. Colourful customs were worn by each of joseph’s brothers and father, Jacob, as well as the Ishmaelites. The Church was filled nearly to capacity for the children’s performance. The pastor, the Rev. David Brunner, briefly led the congregation in prayer and an introductory scripture passage reading.
