ST SON 1974' Back, 'and thanks very much to editor Jim Fitzgerald for pinch- hitting so ably while I holidayed. However, I'm not really deserving of Jim's compliments. I may be journalistically married to this corner of Pae 2,, but it's often a case of "for better or for worse" (usually the latter).

Since then we have been for- tunate to receive an excerpt; on the gentleman printed in the Cyclopaedia of Canadian Biography - The Rose Publishing Company 1886. The article outlines Mr. Turnbull's life from the time of his birth in Scotland to his ap- pointment as principal of the Clinton Collegiate in April 1868. The write-up also notes I that at that time the Collegiate had a staff of four masters. -WISHES A HAPPY= -BIRTHDAY To Melanie Ann Knox David Westerhout KeWITWatson, Shelley Mann Jeffrey Hayter Allison Postill Clinton Clinton R.R. 2 Clinton Clinton Varna R.R. 3 Clinton On August 31 August 31 Sept. 1 Sept. 2 Sept. 5 Sept. 5.
