Subscriptions $2.00 Per Year 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. J. L. Stonehouse, Peter W. Scott, Chairman, Com. Sec'y.
