A RE-uNitor.§ WANTED • Oakville, Ont, March 30, 1929 Editor of Advance-Terrese---- Sir, I had a letter from an old .Wingbam boy, a few days- ago, whore I have not seen for perhaps forfst years, ° and he suggested. I should write you a letter anent early recol- lections of the old home town and the Old Boys' and Gide' Re -Union. Weil,. all being well, I hope to meet t.whcic lot of the old boys and girls: too. with. whom I went to school. My. recollections 'of Wingham go back' to, S'epteinber 5, 1873, the day I landed there by the wagon rout. from Walkerton, Wingbain was not incorporated as, a village then. My first school principal was an ex -Irish soldier named Molesworth, who had lost the end of his nose in some war. Methinks I can hear his stentoriat tone, "I'll give you ten," to some boys who had not promptly left the school grounds after four. Jack McLean, Bob Mooney and Allie Lloyd'will re- member him. I wonder if they re member any other peculiar incidents that happened? There surely was one funny one, as the story was told, in which Bob Small was a participant. Then there came James Ferguson, a Scotchman born in England. No bet- ter teacher ever swung a strap and his pupils were taught Spencerian Penmanship if nothing else. About. the first time I ever saw Ed Hamil- ton he was standing on his head in a posthole, balaating himself with she one arm he possessed. George Hut ton was another unfortunate, having only one leg. I met Hamilton at a small station up in the Rockies many years ago.
