Minister WEDNESDAY, MARCH: It, 1916 Last Thursday evening was a big ,. night in Ripley for the *Ripley Night School classes... It was their annual Aehieyernent Night display held in the auditorium of the Ripley District High School. -Displays of the different classes lined the walls of the auditorium while the stage was ' used for Mrs. Margaret Gemmell's class in sewing to stage their annual Fashion Show. and also for Principal William Turvill, the presentation of .diplomas. As in past years, it was well attended and ended with the serving of lunch. One can not help thinking how true the old saying still is -'namely "many hands make light work". In. in Ripley a couple .of hours following' ,the re -gular afternoon day classes, many peOple moved into the high school auditoriuM setting up dis- plays of their.winter's work aid the entire 'appearance of the school auditorium was changed into that of a' beautiful craft show. In the friendly spirit of co-opera- tion evident each year, two ladies, MiSs Marie Inkster, well known staff member at KincardMe hospit- al, and teacher Mrs. Ruby ilimnett of.. Holyrood had volunteered to supervise the auditorium, while School caretaker Murdock MacDon- ald was home for supper- Later when Fran. and Ab Wylds arrived and stayed with Miss Inkster, Mrs. Bonnett was able 'to go to the home of her sister-in-law ,Mrs. Donnie Peterbaugh in Ripley. At this point the 'writer would like to say a special' thanks to these people for their help in 'describing the ,iterns on display, naming the students and teachers. They are. Mrs. Ruby Bennett, Miss Marie Inkster, Mr. Robert Ball of Poplar Beach, Miss Margaret Machan, a former teach- er at Ripley High School and now at Kincardine.

In it were purses, belts, wallets,.and key eases, also special items. Enrolled in the leather work class „were Joy Houston, Betty Jean MacLean, Shirley Allan, Helen Henderson, Alta Smith, Janet Nixon and Shirley Hackett. Box looms showing samples of weaving were next set up. The teacher 'of weaving was Mrs. E. Neill.

Enrolled in it were Carole Chambers, Evelyn Evers,. Jeari Hammond, Marion Ham- mond, Marie Inkster, Pam Putman, Helen Rogers and Marlene Wolf- stonholme.

Enrolled in Mrs. Blue's class were Anne Marie Langley, Shirley MatDonald, 'Betty Paquette, Peg Seller, Ruby Peter- baugh, * Gladys Colwell, ,Eileen Clark and Carol Fludder. On the main floor at the back of the auditorium was the display of Mr. Robert Ball's class in upholst- ering. On display were easy chairs, chesterfields, and other pieces of furniture- all nice looking and well done. Enrolled in this class were Mary Piel,. Glenna Farrell, Thelma Godfrey, Janette Thompson, Barb- ara Farrell, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Gregg, Ida and Bill Piel. To this writer's eye a few of the real outstanding items in the auditorium included the beautiful leather and wood clock and stool made by Mrs. Joy Houston ,of Holyrood' (the former Joy Farrell), the lovely table top with eleven inlaid painted china squares made by Miss Marie Inkster of Kincaid- ine, the two beautiful and colourful afghans in Mrs. Blues display, and the chesterfield and matching easy . chairs by Ida and Bill Piel. All work on display was of good quality and colourful. The theme 'of the Fashion Show was "Sew to save in the seventies" arid the director and commentator was the teacher Mrs. Margaret Gemmell of Ripley. Mrs. Gemmel' described each article as „the • models appeared on stage in turn. These .were Chris MacDonald, Donna and Danielle Fitzgerald, Sandra McCallum, Joan McLeod, Brenda and Debbie McLean, Lisa and Lynda McIntyre, Sherry and Michelle Farrell; Mary Ann Forster and Johnny, Billy Patterson, Steph- en Beisel, Dorothy •Hilborn, and Carol Fludder. Presentation of diplomas and lunch cloied the Achievement Night pregram. It was .a shock to the thousands of listeners to the 'late C.K.N.X. television -news last Saturday evening to learn that Tory. Gregg, had died from a sudden heart attack. Locally we all recall his M.C. work at the Ripley-Huron reunion last August. M. L. "Tory" Gregg of 33 Highview in London, Ontario, summer resident of Inver- huron, .was known throughout Western Ontario. Personal ac- quaintance with the writer goes back to those university years at .Western, on the hill, when Tory played professional hockey - cap- tain of the colourful! Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets, then first line right winger on the champion Lendon Tecumsehs. Next it was those softball' years, with the Ripley Flyers when Tory headed the W.O.A.A. in Wingham. Tory is one of two men who supplied us with worthwhile advice on running the Ripley Fall Fair. His address to the Ontario Fall Fairs convention , in the' Crystal Ballroom in the King Edwardilotel in Toronto, is one of the best speeches ever given on our fall fairs. He called it "Fall Fair Day - A Race With the Sun". We will miss him. Sympathy goes to his wife who has several relatives in this area. * * * • Mr, and Mrs, Frank .Scott of Ripley and Mr. and Mri. D.
