pupils 'Who still remain;
One night TiSot. long ego
I sadly pondered o'er
My early days at school,
Those `hap•py.d!ays of yore
When all the boys and girls
That I in ,childhood knew
in a dream
Appeared as
A picture bright and true
But some are dead and gone
Whom ,B:arney used . to train;
Some mare have crossed the' lines;
Some others yet remain
Of all that noble hand
That came ayith hearts aglow
To dear old Number One
Some seventy years ago.
I felt sad and lonely
To see them passing by
I heard their merry shouts,
I saw their flashing eye.
They walked in double file
Just as in days of old
Through drizzling rain and sleet,
Excessive heat and cold.
Their ,brogues were good and. strong
Adorned with brazen toes
'Which helped in their fights
To overcome their foes..
Such were the sturdy youths
That marched through mud or snow
To dear old Number One
Some seventy years ago.
jack Nigh, Rebec and Jane,
\','•ho lived upon the ridge,
licCarthys, lShanahans,
McCann's across the bridge
And from the west there came
The Fortunes and IMcQuades
With little auntie Ann
Adorned with curls and 'braids
And long Pat Kennedy
With charming sister Kate
Came wading through the swamp,
A two and twenty gait.
Then all would join in glee
In tramping down the snow
To dear old Number One
Some seventy years. ago.

No other ,school, I ween,
A larger roll could show,
Than !dear old Number One .
Some seventy years ago,
I think I saw them all,
Who trod the road to school
In eighteen fifty -trine
To learn the golden rule.
We learned to- spell and read,
And history to recite
And composition, too,:
'And essays to indite;
The simple -rule of three,
And fractions most abstruse
With •algebra and ,Euclid,
And other' things of use.
�i t
Those were the subjects we
In early days did know
In dear old '.Number One
Some seventy years ago,
We played the same old games
That others ,played: before,
Baseball and cricket, too,
And marble .games, galore,
Old Duck upon a rock,
Jack stones and crack the whip,
The last one on the string
Would get an awful 'flip;
Football and shinny, ,too,
Those garries of great .delight
We played withvigor then
Regardless of a fight;
Such were the games we played
Upon the green or. snow
Round dear old !Number One
Some seventy years ago,
Our then young teacher, too,
O'Connell was his name;
Just lately passed away
But not unknown to fame,
A man of many parts,
A giant in debate
On corrupt politics.
Unmerciful, irate,
He carried well his load
Of almost ninety years
Of kindly face and looked '
A lord among his peers,
Erect and tall and prim, •
His 'head as white as snow,
Who taught in Number One
Same seventy years ago.
The Reverend Mister' Barr,
One of the kindest men
That ever lived on earth,
Was our [Inspector then
IIe'd pray so loud and long
With hands extended high,
He raised our thoughts aloft
To things beyond the sky.
Our books he would peruse
Our fractions would inspect
Just take a lightning glance
Pronounce them all correct,
Then ask the Lord again
His blessings to bestow
On 'dear ,old Number One
Sane seventy years ago.
5o jolly, plump and fat,
He'd ask
some one to tell
Why Noah sbuilt the ark
And haw the angels ,fell
When Alexander lived
Where hung the crucified,
Napoleon's rise and 'fall,
Where' 'Julius Caesar died;
We,answered up so prompt,.
.His eyes with Wonder grew
To think Ave knew so much
Of History, old land new,
Then mount his doggy. cart,
Straight for hone would go
From dear old Number One
Some seven./ years ago.
The sante old school is there,
Upon tht. ams old ground,
Grinding' education out
B,y anebhods newly found.
They teach agriculture,
And how to feed a calif;
To grow all kinds dfrain
And separate the chaff, '
On breecls of hens and geese
For sears they did ,descant
13y order of their chief,
The former 'Mister 'Grant;
But things have changed'a lot
As time and years did -grow
In dear old N'um'ber' One
Since seventy years ago,
My rhyme is almost o'er,
My life is nearly run,
For eight rand seventy years
I've circled round the sun;
Of those who died in youth,
I hope they're happy now,
Dwelling ftp in heaven, •
A crown upon their ibrow,
Of those who fled the land
To live with Uncle Sam,
Long may they live in (peace
Their lives serene and caln'n
And when they meet they'll talk
Of friends they used to know
In dear old Number One
Some seventy years ago. '
Of us who yet reside
Upon Canadian soil,.
Long be our days on earth
Bereft of care and toil
And when the time arrives

To pass from off the scene;
May all our heads•be decked
With crowns of gold and sheen
And on that :corning day
That greatest 'day of all;
We'll hear ,the trumpet sound
And tear our Maker's -call.
Conte, goad and faithful ones
Receive your just award
For pleading 'blameless 'lives
And faithful to your Lord.
Then ,from on high we'll think
Of scenes that passed below
In dear old Number 'One
Some seventy years ago.
Of all that multitude,
About six score and five,
Who came in fifty-nine,
Just eight or ten survive.
They're slowly sailing on
O'er life's tempestous main
To that eternal goal
Where peace and friendship reign,
The time is drawing nigh,
It must be near at 'hand,
When they shall gladly hear
That gentle sweet command—
Come, enter in, possess,
Your dearly purchased home
And dwell forever there
Beneath its gilded do -me;
Conne, chant the 'hyniuns divine,
The hymns h that angels sing,
g
In praise of their dear Lord,
Their ,Saviour and their Icing,
You'll surely meet .and see,
Dear friends you used to know
In dear old .Number One
Some seventy years ago.'
Oh, seventy years is long -
When reckoning up the past,
Lt seems a longer span
When thoughts are forward cast,
But Father Time himself
Was never known to wait
Upon .a human soul
Who wished td pass the gate
At its awn time and'place
It's future home to gain,
But mows them down in scores
As sickles do the .grain,
So now, good bye my friends,
Dear friends I used to know
In dear old Number One
