Dear Friends:—
I have gust received through your
secretary _,an invitation.to be present
at the: loth: Anniversary of the present
school. It would afford vie very
great pleasure to be with you upon
thatoccasion, but, I am very sorry to
say'that it is°impossible for me to 'do
so. I assure' you that if I cannot be
with you in person, that my thoughts
will be with you during that dayy.
Thoughts of the old school awaken
many happy rneinories ofchildhood
.and subsequent days. I can remember
well being one of the pupils present
at the opening of the school 5o years
.ago, we all considered it the .last word
in school construction, as indeed it
was, when ,compared with its prede-
cessor, the 'old log school.
School day's, school days, dear old .
golden , rule days, truly this is the
merriest, happiest time in "Shake-
peare's Seven Ages of Man. And
when the school days were over, and
we were engaged with the more. ser
ions. problems of life. Now well I
can remember the interesting and in-
structive meetings which it sheltered,
and the many entertainments and se-
cial gatherings which were held be=
neath its roof.
Some of the pupils of :those early
days are still in your •midst; some are
scattered to distant parts, and some
have stared on the long trail, which
sooner or later we, must all travel.
To all the old friends and associat-
es of diose' early 'days who may be
present with you when you meet on
the 23rd; to commemorate the • 5oth
anniversary of the old school, I send
special greetings. And to all old or
young, big or little who gather to-
gether to celebrate the event,,I wish
a happy and enjoyable day.
Sincerely yours,
James Elliott.

Mr. John Elliott,'
Sec'y Anniversary Picnic,
S. S. No._ 9, E., Wawanosh,
Dear Sir:—
I received in due time your invita-
tion to attend the 5oth Anniversary
Picnic of Currie's School. I was hop-
ing .that I would be able to make it
convenient to be present,'but I find
that it will be impossible for me to
make if. I can scarcely tell you how
I regret My inability to attend.
"Stark's School" what remembran-
ces that brings back, although fifty
years have passed, it seers like yes-
terday since we as boys, with trousers
rolled high, waded in the Waters, and
the thud also, of that celebrated creek:
I wonder were there ever another
stream of water.
In fancy I can hear -again the hum
of voices which filtered • through the
chinks of the old school house, and I
can see the forms of the old-time
faithful teachers as they did their best
to impart useful knowledge to the
boys and girls under their care. How
trying some of the conditions were
under which they worked few of us
realize. They have had their reward.
I can see the happy faces of the
boys and girls with whom I associat-
ed and 'hear their merry, laughter, and
as I look and listen I feel like saying,
"Backward,roll backward` 0 time in
your flight, make me a 'child again
just for to -night."
Kindly convey my very best wishes
to all the old boys and girls, and the
new ones as ,well, and I trust that
your picnic may be one great success
My earnest wish is that your boys
and girls may grow to be as useful
members of society, or even more use-
ful, than their fathers and mothers
have been.'
Again wishing you all success I ani,
Yours very sincerely,
J. Buchanan.•
