way but drove west past the old
church' at Cromarty, then to Hensall
and on. to London.
What a pleasure it would be to
again meet some of my school mates,
but my thoughts will be with you that
special day. As 1 remember, Annie
Ogilvie was my first teacher, I also
remember Mr. Douglas McTavish,
Mr. Duncan Hay, Mr, McDougall, Mr.
Case and Mr. Hyslop.

Dear Mrs. Bruce. -1 was delighted
when I received the invitation to the
re -union of S.S. No. 6, Hibbert. I
did not acknowledge. it at the time
for I was hoping I might be able to
go but now I find it impossible to
go but I certainly will be thinking
of you all. I hope all have a happy
time. Tell Frank Allen -I still abuld

Dear Mrs, Bruce—We received the
invitation to the Cromarty School
Re -union a few days ago, but I am
sorry to say my father and mother
willnotbe able- to attend as we are
not able to get dad into the car this
summer. 1f dad were able he would
be there as he'is one of the few still
living who attended the old school.
1-I0 hopes that the Reunion will be a
Splendid success. I am eagerly look-
ing forward to that day's outing.
Sincerely yours,
Belle Campbell.

Mrs. Bruce, Dear Friend:—Yours

led as a small boy with a. new pair
of shoes. This is something I have
long wished for. Just to get back to
the old ground once more. I have
been by there many times, both
wbile the old school was there and
;' the new one, too. I am in a condition
that 1 cannot drive it myself. But 1
ani going to make every effort to go.
I notice two old school mates as

Dear Madam: We were pleased to
get the invitation to the Reunion at
Cromarty School.
The friendships formed there in
1900 to 1902, were of a pleasant and
enduring nature and the memories
we still hold of the folk living there
at that time are very dear to us.
We visualize very clearly the
sweet and sincere kindliness of 'Uncle
and Auntie Parks, the Hamiltons,
the McKellars, the Millers, the Mc-
Larens, the Iiyslops, the Butlers, and
Bruces and Chappells, the Mclil-
raiths and McLachlan:, the Sneers
and Vincents and Johnsons and- oth-
ers, whose names we cannot at pre-
sent recall.
Had it been possible we would have
been delighted to renew those mem-
ories and friendships with those still
living in the Cromarty vicinity; but
though we cannot be present in
body, we wish you a very happy time
and our good -will will continue to go
with you in the future.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. It, W. Jewitt.

Dear Madam.—I would surely like
to be with you on June 30th and I
am one you will all have a good
time. It is nearly 40 years since I
saw the old School and I don't sup-
pose the old wood school is still
there. I am sorry I can't be there,
and I am wishing you all a real good
time. Yours truly,
R. A. Norris.

41 Dear Mrs. Bruce:—It is with sin -
re regret that we cannot attend
the Re -union of our old school, to
which you so kindly sent us an in-
vitation. We left Cromarty fn 1879,
sixty years ago; many, many
changes naturally have taken place
in that length of time.
I still remember with plesure a
great many of the old pupils, the
MoLaren's, McTavish's,' McNaught-
orl's, Bruce's, Tower's, Campbell's,
McLau'ghlin's, Hoggarth's, and many
otbers. I wonder how many of these
are still left; like myself they are
not as young as when we last saw
each other. I read an article in
the Miunt Clemens Leader of
the death of Isabella McTavish,
daughter of. John. McTavish, who
years ago sold his farm to a Mr,
Henry. She was sixty-eigbt years of
age, leaving her sister Jessie as the
last survivor of the family. The
'home was in. Meade village, having
left the farm a very short time be.
fore their decease.
If any of the old crowd remember
me and my sister and brother, give
them our very best regards.
Again thanking you for the invita-
tion, and regretting our inability to
accept your kind invitation, believe
me, sincerely,
Mary M. Parke.

Trustees, Secretary and Friends,—
It is a great pleasure for us to send
sincere greetings to S. S. No. 6, Hib-
bert, on your re -union. It was very.
kind of you to remember us. How
well I remember No. 6 school, with
its gate, with three steps up and
three down on each side. Do you re.
member?
The last time we were there we
played . a few duets, violin and organ
at a school concert in the old happy
days. It is thirty years since we left
Hibbert. Would love to be with you
to celebrate your reunion, and meet
so many old friends, but it is with
great regret we have to decline
Your kind invitation.
Yours sincerely,
D. H. and Margaret L. McDougall.

Dear Madam,—We received your
kind invitation to attend the Crom-
arty School (5.5. No. 6, Hibbert) Re -
Union. With much pleasure I accept
your request to be present on this
occasion. I commenced my career as
a Public. School Teacher when 1
served as assistant in Cromarty
Scbool during the year 1878. So I
very much appreciate this opportun-
ity of renewing old friendships, as I
have many pleasant recollections of
the year spent in S.S. No. 6, Hibbert
1 had previously arranged to make
another trip on June 30th, but I have
changed this engagement to an earl-
ier date, so that I would be at liber-
ty to attend your Re -Union.
Trusting that the weather may be
quite favorable, that there may be a
large attendance of present resid-
ents and also of former residents
Including ex -teachers: and that the
Re -Union may prove to be very plea-
sant and profitable to all Who may
participate in it, I remain,
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mrs;' B1'nce,-Kindly accept
535 Fourth St„ Brandon, Man,
Dear Mrs. Bruce -1 thank you very
much for the invitation to the Re-
union at old No. 6 on June 30th. It
would afford me great pleasure to
attend, but, at present, my plans are
somewhat uncertain, but will come
if I can manage it. The prospect of
such a meeting recalls old memories
and stories of the early days.
Before S.S. No. 6 was formed there
were but two sections divided by
the centre road. My father, the late
James Gillespie of Cromarty, was
the pioneer teacher of the east sec-
tion. The school was located a short
distance from where- No. 5 school
now stands, and was attended by
many grown-ups in winter. There
was an enrolment of 120. As you can
well imagine, the -school was cold
on winter mornings, so he marched
them around the room singing the
multiplication table set to a march-
ing tune. I have heard that It was
hard to stick any of those pupils on
their tables.
.011 my teachers have passed away,
except my first, Miss Pringle (Mrs.
Shaw), and -perhaps Mr. McDougall
of 1882• do not know 'anything
about hi, Over a hundred of those
who attended school during my time
have also passed away.
My father moved to a farm near
Cromarty in 1569, and was the first So I'll be glad when it's all over,
Secretary Treasurer of the newly I expect I'll be able to get up to
formed School Section No. 6.
Mr. and Mrs. R. Purdon also ap-
preciate the invitation, but owing to
advanced years are quite unable to
undertake even such a pleasant
journey as that would be.
Here's wishing a pleasant day and
happy hearts on June 30th.
Yours sincerely,
(Miss) Jessie Gillespie.

We .are all agog over the visit of
the King and Queen. Fifty police

To the Trustees Ratepayers and
Old Schoolmates, of Cromarty School,
Qromarty, Ontario.
Dear Friends: It was with a mixed
feeling of gratitude and regret that
I received the invitation to join in a
Reunion of the Old Boys and Girls
and ex -teachers of Cromarty School
—gratitude for having been rememb-
ered and regret that I find it impos-
sible to attend. 1 have been looking
forward to the time when. I could
visit you all again but it seems that'
I, will not be able to do so this year
as I had -expected.
Memories of the days when those
of us from up the tenth concession,
Bella Campbell, Jack Hoggarth, Sid-
ney Howe, Duncan McKellar, Jim,
Gillespie, and all the younger boys
and girls, used to walk in the neigh-
borhood of two miles to the old
frame school -house, make me real-
ize that thirty years can pass only
too quickly and with them many of
the friendships and associations
which we then thought world always
endure.
I came to Ventura from Los An-
geles in 1926 after having been in
California about four years. 1 be-
came naturalized in 1930 and ' have
been employed in engineering and
sfrrveying work most of the time in
California, where 1 am registered as
a Civil Engineer. At present I am
employed as a, Deputy in the office
of the County Surveyor on mapping
and construction work, where 1 have
been for several years. Prior tothat
I was with the City Engineer of Ven-
tura and with several Consulting En-
gineers. In 1927 I married a Cali-
fornia girl from near San Fr•ancisco
and we now have a boy named Frank
Allen, (after Frank Allen of Crom-
arty) who some of you perhaps know
by this time.
In closing 3 again express my re-
gret at not being able to be with
you for the Reunion but send my
very best wishes for the health and
prosperity of all my old .school-
mates and the teachers who strug-
gled so hard to make me learn some-
thing, especially Maurine Erb, who
took the last crack at me in Cromarty
sebool. Hoping that your school will
always maintain the high standard
of proficiency for which it Is noted
and that your Reunion will be an en-
joyable occasion, 1 remain,
Very sincerely yours,

Mr. Angus McDonald of Hibbert,
ninety years of age, was the old-
est pupil present at the reunion at
Cromarty school on Friday. "Black
Angus," as he is known to his in-
numerable friends, has a wonder-
ful memory and can tell interest-
ing stories of pioneer life. He takes
delight in recounting escapades as
a pupil at the old school, like the
time the teacher gave him a note
for his father. On the way home
he read it and discovered it would
result in a thrashing for misdeeds
at school. So when his father told
him to read the note to him, An-
gus said it was art • invitation to his
father to attend a wood cutting
bee at the school. "Not for me,"
his father said, and Angus quickly
tore up the note.
