of pupils on the school register) was

the Consolidated School idea has beeu
proposed and in 2 locations in Ontario
and acorea of rural localities, in the

more school sections to unite, erect a

as a returned hero, When the great
war brolte out and the call to arms
came you proved to be one of Huron's
brave boys who enlisted voluntaiely
in defence of Briton's flag, and al-
though you spent uearly 2 years in the
war zone, fighting for the Freedom
ofocivilization, you returned almost
unscathed, with a minor injury,
which we are very pleased to record,
We are loath to express our feelings
so openly yet we feel it an honorable
neceseity to do so, Yon not only
proved to have many gentlemanly
qualities before you enlisted but re -
tented them throughout and you re-
tained enjoying the honor and rc-
epect of all who made your acquaint-
ance, In reference to year return
you proved again to be an honovable
exception as the bright lights of
Broadway bad no charm for you,
rather than spending months reouper•
ating, carousingand sight-seeing you
returned at once to ynue parental
home to aid in the operation of your
father's farms. Now you have taken
upon e'ono shoulders the responsibili.
ties of a household and joined heart
and hand with one of the most highly
respeetecl young 1 ladies in Morris
township, and as this is the evening of
the first anniversary of the ternetna.
then of the war and the signing of the
armistice, we deemed it a, suitable
time to prove to you our appreciation
of your services to us and the Empit'e,
