-This Week At theSe�afforth High' School
(B
Well, here it is Friday another
week, another column. Monotonous,
Isn't It? Monotonous or not, 1 get
paid for it, so here ,goes.
Tomfoolery!
And lots of it, but what's' new
about that? , This week everyone
seemed to be thrgwing firings., Don
(Dale, that is) w4ts throwing oats -
yes, oats -around by Me' handful.
Don't ,know why, bat he • was.
Irr one . of the Forms, a small rub-
ber ball' was being thrown about in-
discriminately, and there were not a
few tingling ears and rears when the
fracas was over,
Paper darts were 'used as the air-
borne toys of another Form, with the
inevitable results, a lot of hilarity
and an assortment of detentions. This
episode bad a new twist, though; a
girl was given a detention for throw-
ing the miniature planes. Of course,
there was the usual group of girls
who %acted as official killjoys, catching
and tearing up the planes as fast as
they were made. Girls will be girls!
The crowning incident of this chain
of throwing incidents happened in
First Form. One • young fellow had
been repeatedly warned to keep quiet,
"or else," but unwisely( as it turned
out, he chose to continue his conver-
sation, whereupon he who had warn-
ed the rash youth picked ui5 a piece
of chalk and cast it forcefully at the
aforementioned rash youth -and miss-
ed. Thus the only, kno*rr-former pit -
eller in the school appears to have
lost his "control" in more ways than
one. 'NuXf said.
That's alt the throwing there was
this week, but a couple of Third For -
mere were "tbrewn for a loss" by
the old chair gag -it collapsed at the
crucial moment,
Ah, sweet revenge! . About a month
ago the Fifth Formers were acting
very superior and patronizing to-
wards the rest of the school, who had
exams, while Fifth Form had none
then. Now, the shoe is on the ether
foot -the rest of the school can laugh
at Fifth Form, whose exams start
late next week.
Last Friday \ afternoon something
very unusual happened • at S.H.S., a
precedent was set. By that I mean
that something was done for the first
time. I refer to the tea -dance held
in lieu of a 'literary meeting," by
Grade 12, Naturally everyone was a
little shy of the new idea, but after
things got under way, most of the
kids were quite at ease, The M.C.,
Ron Sills, had quite a time getting
the younger students, the boys espec-
ially, to dance, but a few novelty
dances solved that problem. A vio-
lin and piano duet by the Collins sis-
ters and a piano solo by Ann De La
Franier made up the program. The
members of Grade 12 served lunch.
Ooops i there was a quiz too.' Mr.

Great sympathy is expressed
throughout Kippen and district to
Mr. T. N. Forsyth in the sudden pass--!
ing of his wife, the former Margaret
Joan Cooper, on Sunday night last,
April 11. It was a double bereave-
ment to Mr. Forsyth and the Cooper
family in that Miss Malinda Cooper,
01 Toronto and .Peterborough, a sis-
ter of Mrs. Forsyth's, had died only
two days previously, after a linger-
ing illness. The late• Mrs. .Forsyth,
who at the time of death was in her
79th year, was born on the Cooper
homestead, just north of Kippen, and
was one of a family of nine children,
of whom there are left to mourn her
death one brother, R. J. Cooper, of
Kippen, and five sisters: Jemima
(Mrs, Angus Brown), Brucefield; Jes-
sif• J. (Mrs. Frank Upshall, Seaforth;
Isabella Ellen (Mrs. Andrew Bell),'
Tuckersmith; Elsie Elizabeth (Mrs.
Fred Dey Eli), Toronto, and Etta O.
D. (Mrs. E. W. Jones), Hastings. Mr.
and Mrs. Forsyth had had a long and
most happy wedded life, 'having been
united in marriage on Christmas Day,
1895, thus celebrating their golden
wedding two years ago. They had as
their first home the farm presently
owned by Ross Broadfoot, in Tucker -
smith, in which township Mr. For.;yth
was teacher in No. 2 School, a post
he held for 20 years. In 1931 they
removed to the home on No. 4 High-
way in Hay Township. androunded
out the days of wedded life that
brought deepest mutual appreciations
with the passing of the years -a hap-
py experience so aptly evalunted in
the poet's lines:
"Time but the impression stronger
makes,
As streams their channel deeper wear."
Mr. Forsyth entered the membership
of St. Andrew's Church. Kippen, at an
early age, and all her long life was
devoted wholeheartedly to its wel-
fare. Unfailingly regular at its ser-
vices of worship, she also gave herself
unremittingly to the activities of its
organizations. Sunday School, choir,
the Woman's Missionary Society, all
claimed her time and interest, whilst
in the Women's. Association she held
the post of treasurer, for 16 years.
The funeral service was held in her
beloved. St. Andrew's Church ori Wed-
nesday, April 14, after prayers at the
home, and was conducted by her pas-
tor, Rev. Albert Hinton, amid wide-
spread, tokens of esteem. A large
congr- gation of friends and sympa-
thizers was present to give its sor-
rowing condolences to Mr. Forsyth
and the Cooper family. Interment
took place at Baird's Cemetery.
