this poem written by W m .
Craig:
Colleagues of Clinton
Please lend me your ears
While I teltyou a tale
Which spans the years.
It's related to teaching
And a fellow some knew
Who came back to the farm
With a bride from the Soo.
Theysettled toward Bayfield
Not far from the lake
A fruit farm and family
Proceeding to make.
'Twas here that I met him
Aboue '53 .
He was teaching with Brock
-Olde
and Garnet McGee.
He drove an old Dodge
But it wasn't a dart
It would sure plough the snow
If the bugger would start.
He'd arrive here in Clinton
At 20 to nine
By travelling the fourth
Or the old Bayfield Line.
He'd saunter on in
With his lunch and a peach
And geography lesson plans
ready to teach.
The school was quite small
The teachers were few
One had to be versatile
And he was new .
So. . . Ted ,said, ."Teach
music"
(t seemed pretty rough
But this fellow produced
some remarkable stuff.
The orchard it pro$pered
The trees had all grew
And so did his family
From Sandra to Drew.
The old school expanded
Staff came and went
But he remained teaching
here
Very content.
'Tis said on occasion
He's been heard to swear
While pruning the orchard
With infinite care.
But we will forgive him
As we only can
He had to put up with `
Gar Baker and Mann.
I'm sure that you knot'
It's of Ross that I speak
The Middleton man
From the old Fourth Line
Creek.
He came to our school
From the north full of fire
On his last day of June
He's about to retire.
Thank you Ross
For a job well done
We are sure you deserve
To relax in the sun.
We hope with your pension
Your logs and your fruit
You enjoy your retirement
And don't give a hoot.
So to you a token
This small gift we give
TQ remember us by
Wherever you live.
May your health be
unequalled
Your wealth without par
Many years to enjoy
An Old Port Cigar..

party at home with everyone
going to the Centennial Bailin
