They certainly don't mind asking for Mrs. R. H. F. Gairdner and Miss two or even three bags of candy, and Betty returned to London 'on Satur- sing. Say we couldn't hold them day after having spent the Christmas back from singing.' They have all manner of singers good and bad (Mostly the latter), short and tall, male and female. Second Form is a very shy form; that is all except the teacher. Elle est tres gracievse. Santa thought she was too courteous to Mrs. Santa especially concerning embraces. Mrs. Santa Claus, so second formers ad- mit, seemed to display some male characteristics at times. Cameron who spent the vacation with We had always thought Mai their aunt. Mrs. Delbert Haw, who spent the Christmas week with her mother, Mrs. Win, Heard, returned to Proton Sta- tion on Friday with her husband who was here for New Year's. Mr. John W. Tippet, who has been however after introductions were' ov- ill for some time, was taken to Clin- es Santa and his wife lost no time ton Community Hospital on Thursday in embracing the girls- and rejecting the pretty boys. Fourth Form did not boast a very large representation, but it was a case of quality, not quantity. They are all such a warns -hearted, refined group, probably they get the inspira- tion for their warm-heartedness from their tutor's coiffure. One of the many things Mrs. Santa discovered during (his, her.?). visit was that seats do not hold' two persons. It certainly wits a merry and var- led welcome that greeted the two visitors in Upper School. Dougan and Filshie favoured with a tap dance to the accompaniment of Ayotte's yodelling and Johnston's whistling. Miss Beattie made her initial speech e la soap box method. "Morg." Ag- new, we noticed for once, prayed quite fervently that she would get a Ma -Ma doll. Everybody quite grac- iously allowed Mr. and Mrs. Santa to donate their gifts. All in all it was quite a time. Such is school life. Before we forget let us all wish our readers a most happy and sue- c,essful New Year from teachers and pupils. We really hope we (your editors) would be favoured with such a year, but we know this to an utter impossibility. Already we have broken our pencil. So there you are. What's the use of wishing any way. You tell us. But talking of New Year, have you made any New Year's resolutions? We have. First= -To have some oth- er persons write up this hallowed column. This. action is prompted by the many Christmas cards we receiv- ed from everyone. This reason we rank first and foremost. Don't you? A resolution fit to rest in the lap of the gods. Secondly—To ignore all persons boasting moustaches or even a semblance of. a moustache.. Thirdly —To suit telling lies and not to be so shy. That's all. Most probably you noticed' that we fell down during' the last two school weeks of 1936 by failing to record our newsy gleanings. We beg of you to accept our excuse that school busi- ness forced us to do,this. Some even failed to notice - this. Probably just an example of Johnuy .not knowing the family had not a family cat un- til it had disappeared. To re -hash the subject .•of Santa Claus—Did you notice Mr. Fines as- sisting the dear old ggentleman at the Community Christmas Tree? There he stood, handing out candy, as fast as his hands would move, and all the while, a perfectly esctatic senile light- ing up his countenance. Did he know HOLMESVILLE The last Y.P.U. meeting of 1936 was held on New Year's Eve and un- der the direction of Kenneth Tre- wartha, appropriate hymns were sung by the large gathering with Miss Charlotte Trewartha accom- panying. The scripture lesson was read by Harold Yeo. The chairman read the poem "My Creed" which was considered very suitable for remem- bering at this season when everyone is supposed to be resolving to better. the 1936 habits throughout the year. 1937. Rev. J. W. Herbert and Billy gave a beautiful violin and guitar selection. The Young People always enjoy to the utmost any music given by the Herbert Boys. We hope that when entering the basement of the church during the coming year we shall often see Mr. Herbert's violin and Billy's guitar sitting by the pi- ano in readiness to take part in Y. P.U. programs. The young people felt themselves very fortunate in be- ing present when Miss Cora Trewar- tha was called upon to tell about her experiences. in Northern, Ontario, where she is teaching. She vividly ortra ed the work hobbies ands it vacation at the old Gairdner resi- dence in the village. Miss A. M. Stirling left on Mon- day to visit in Hamilton. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cameron and Wni. Cameron of Detroit 'spent the week -end with their sister, Miss E. Cameron. Miss M. Cameron, who was in Detroit last week, returned to the village with them, and on their return to Detroit they were accom- panied by Masters John and Wm. Franks was a very retiring man who never believed in such humbug as Santa Claus. Our dreams were rude- ly shattered. Lo, before the door was open, he received us with out- stretched arms and wouldn't give Santa time to introduce the wife; of last week. -His many friends hope that he will improve in Health.
