Another year has slipped by and. we have come again to what I consider one of th most important events of the school year, namely the coximencement. The commencement is an im- portant event in more ways than one. It gives the parents an oppor- tunity to se @ just what has been ac- complished by the children during the past school year. It gives the - graduating class a last opportunity to come together, to talk of the happenings of the past years, 'and to say good-bye. To you, the trustees and mem- bers of the board of Education, the first words of our farewell are ad- dressed. We as scholars can realize only in part what your labors have meant for us. We have spent sev- eral of the most important years of our lives in the institution which -as brought into being through. your wholehearted and unselfish ef- forts. We appreciate your efforts. May you ever be able to look with feelings of heartfelt satisfaction on the results of your labours and up- on this claas whose duty it is to bid you a long farewell.. My- thoughts now tarn to the worthy members of the staff. They deserve no small amount of redit for their iart in helping Exeter Iligh School to grow. ,They lab- oured ceaselessly te raise the stan- dard of efficiency, ands now have the satisfaetion of having their school ranked with the beet high schools and collegiates in the sur- rounding district. Most of us have spent several - years under their care and guid- ance, and ftom them we have re- ceived the training whicb will form a large part of our equivalent for life. We can appreCiate to some extent how muck our progress de- pended on their care and patience. They were always reader to help us and they took a keen interest in the g welfare of each one of us. We .haven't been such perfect seleolars and somethnes I wonder .if we de- served ot appreciated what they did for ne. Worthy teacbers we eannot thank you enough for,the benefits we have derived trom our, teaching. To make promises weree idle but in the name of the °lase, whose representative 1 ain proud to be, I hie you farewell aud hope that your memory of us may be as pleasant as our memory of you Shall always be.

GOT MARRIED ON 50 CENTS Edgar Thom - Carl Moriock' A DAY Moriock. (London Free Preds) delivered by medalist, and and Gentle - Exeter, Feb. 13th.—Mr. and Mrs. James Sweet, who live on: the Lon- don road just south of here, are two of the oldest pioneers in this district Mrs. Sweet is in her 83rd year and her life partner in hia 85th. They have had nine ebildren, seven of whom are living, one son and one daughter living here. In spite ;of his 85 years, James Sweet cuts, splits • and piles his own 'wood still, and is quite a prominent apiarist in this community. His father purchased 400 acres originally, M. four differ- ent lots, at $1.50 per acre, and gave his family an excellent start. He re- members hauling wheat to London, during the Crimean War, when it sold for over $2 per bushel, and on the ,same trip Isis father MCCOMpall- led hsm with a load of barley, winch sold slightly* higher. This grain'was all threshed by the first kind of power threshing machine in these parts which was owned by a syndi- cate of 10 farmers. He- declares it was far easier to Operate than the old-fashioned flail. In those early days there was a stretch of unbroken bush, maple predominating, right back to what is. now Grand Bend. Bears were not at anuucouninon and game of all kinds was very plentiful. The set- tlers, of course, depended on maple sugar as their principal sweet, end the huge sap troughs for collecting the sap mere used as cradles for the babies, except, of course during the run of sap. Whisky in Pane For two years when the road, now as then, known as the London road was being converted from a blazed trail to a road, he was employed to Carry whisky and water to the labor- ers. Whisky of the best could be procured for 25 cents per gallten, and was carried in a pail with a cup attached and every man helped him- self. With regard to the harmleee- ness of the produet of that day he named over a number of men known to Min who lived to be 85 and even over 90 and were never known to do without it. London was the nearest market for all products until .lanteS Pickard opened a large store here, where everything was sold that was known in those, days, and where farm era other peoclitcts wore (311a8e Onefarmer had six fine hogs.
