SCOTT'S SCHOOL
RE -UNION, JULY 25th
Large Crowd Expected for This Big
Day.
Invitations have been issued to 'all
the teachers and pupils who can be
located who taught or were taught in.
S. S. No. 13, East Wawanosh, whose
present address is known, and it is
expected that upwards of 1,000 will
be in attendance at the school grounds
on Lot 36, Con. 7, E. Wawanosh,'on
July 25th next,' and promises to be
one of the leading events of the Coun-
ty for 1934.
A short history of the Section fol-
lows. In the late fall of 1862 the set-
tlers held a meeting toarrange for
the: building and conducting of a
school in S. S. No. 13 (a suggestive
number). Mathias Harrison, Thomas
Parrott and David Scott, pioneers of
the rugged type were elected Trus-
tees. Walter Scott donated a free site
on corner of Lot 36, Con. 7, for the
building and play grounds.
Willing hands by means of old- fa-
shioned bees, soon had rock elm logs
on the site and a log cottage was soon
constructed. The first teacher was
Ann Hoare, a resident of the Town-
ship near Auburn, who taught for
three terms.. Her •service began on
Feb. 1st, 1863, with two pupils, a boy
and a girl present. As there were
many young families growing up the
list of pupils attending increased and
in a very few years as many as 125
pupils' names were on the roll- In
this 20th century the population de-
creased till not over 25 were of school
age in the section. In 1876 a nice
and commodious frame school was
built on a site on the Harrison farm
114 mile east from log school and
away from the "big creek". This
building was used' till 1914 when the
present red brick building was erect-
ed.
The school houses were looked up-
on as a contrnunity hall and were used
for Sunday Schools, Polling Booths,
Debating and Literary clubs, Political
Meetings and Shows by travelling en-
tertainers. The various Committees
are doing splendid work preparing for
the re -union.
Not only 'those who have received
printed folders of invitation but ev-
erybody who cares to attend will be
welcome, and as no charge is being
made, visitors will be asked to bring
their lunch with thein, as the Refresh-
ment Committee have no means of
knowing the size of the crowd, be-
yond the invitations issued.
A further and fuller history of the
sections and celebration will be given
later.
Rev. A. L. Budge, an ex -pupil of
the Section, will, it is expected, pre-
side for the afternoon. Addresses by
former teachers and others will be
given, interspersed with music, sing-
ing, sports of various kinds, etc.

Lucknow and he went to cross the
intersection, failing to notice a Nat-
ional Grocers' Truck that was coming
up the Highway from the south,with
p g Y
the result that it banged into his car
wrecking it very badly, With Mn
