The school's new radio record' player will probably provide the music, and, a lunch willbe served. The boys will. probably wear their cadet uni- comprehensive descdiption of the forms (see last week's S.N. for a comprehensive description of them)', and the girls wi11 probably NOT wear theirs. Recently the board. sides of the skating rink put up two years ago were torn down to make way for some changes in the landscaping at S.H.S. We have no details on the changes to be made, but next fall will probably see a greatly .im- proved campus, if the rumours are any indication. There Comes a time , uhhuh, this is it, the last School News. Some two and a half years ago, pressure of studies forced the very able writer of this almost histori- cal column to give the task up. Through no fault of our own, We were prevailed upon to take it ov- er, and, somehow, we've been at it ever since. They ell me that about that time The E'xpositor's irculation 'took a marked drop, but that's neither here nor there. During these two and a half years, S.H.S. has undergone some emarkable changes. The student nrollment has increased from 125 ✓ so to 150, and the teaching staff as been enlarged. The school has een almost completely redecorat- d inside; the commercial room as been added and equipped; new urniture has been installed in the hy'sics lab; an excellent movie rojector, microphone, amplifier, mil a combination radio record - layer 'bas been purchased; an utomatic clock and bell system as been installed; new plumbing as been put in in several places, The size and location of the gar - en has been changed; a henhouse as built, and is used every sea - on; bees are kept, in a hive; land- caping andcaping has been practiced on the rounds. The school spirit and in- erest in athletics has grown by aps and bounds.. The school's ams have entered in leagues, and while they have yet to win one, c r e 0 h b e h t p P a a P b h d w s s g t le to ..1 ` BY LEE4$EE IN THE REAM OF EP,'PRT, Time waits for nO one . . astir so we have 'another softball SOP son at band . . . ,yds, sport fen% the .opening of the softball •aeaso?t In Seaforth will take place on .Sad urday night . . . remember Saturday night, May 28.

The two teams have vowed to car- ry on from there . . . the only difference being that Wingham say they will take 'the game this year! Seaforth Basharts have a differ- ent idea, and so, fans, we hope to see a capacity crowd down at the Lions Park around 9 o'clock, have improved' immensely, Rugby is now an established sport at S. H.S. During the past few years, Seaforth scholars have won a very considerable amount in various prizes and scholarships. The high school's social events have under- gone a arming change; this is most noticeable at the annual At - Home, which has improved in quality of entertainment and en- joyment every year. One couldn't expect a school to remain static in this day, andage, yet certainly your high school has improved as an educational insti- tution a very great deal. For the student body, our thanks go to those who have 'helped—the high school board and the staff. During our tenure we've made a pile of mistakes (and so has the typesetter); we've embarrassed a lot of people, probably shocked a few and worried more; however, things aren't nearly.as wild at S.H.S. as they're sometimes de- scribed, They couldn't be. We've pried into a lot of romances (or something) and there have been several minor wars on that sabre. Here we go again, though—there's a new one involving June and Jan- uary—Grade 10 and Grade 13, and that hot 'n cold Grade 10 -Grade 11 match is throwing sparks again. We'll suffer for that, probably. And now it's aver. We've en- joyed it and Dan onvbgkgjxziitits joyed it, and can only hope that you defenseless readers have got a little pleasure, or, failing that, information , from it. To next year's writer, we'd like to pass, on the good -will of you readers, the hope that he or she may uphold certain journalistic ideals better that we did, and the wish• that your satisfaction. in your work may far exceeds ours. That's it, friends. Grand Opening. W.O.A.A. Floodlight SOFTBALL Wingham sMercury's v.

Ladies' Softball League, Group 6, and lost to the Brussels team, in- termediate champions of last year, by the score of 15-12. Al- though the locals were beaten by only three runs, it must be con- sidered that they played a very good game since they had not been able to have a practise before the schedule got under way. The girls will be much better the next time out, and since they have strength- ened the team this year it is ex- pected that when the finals roll around the Seaforth Fawns will be in there for the championship. Brussels had a big second in- ning when they scored seven runs, but the locals held them down the rest of the way to outscore them. Ten errors by the Fawns, compar- ed to five by Brussels, indicated the margin of victory. C. J. Steph- enson for Brussels was the big gun with a double and two singles and a walk, while T. Stapleton for the Fawns collected a single and, two homes. B. Case connected for two triples for the Pawns. N. Shaw and C. J. Stephenson were the battery for Brussels, and T. Stapleton and B. Dale for the Fawns.

About twenty-five of the neigh- bors of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Mc- Lachlan, Egmondville, recently married couple, met on. Monday evening,' May 23, at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Elmore Stephenson; to extend congratulations and best wishes to the newly -married cou- ple. A pleasant evening was spent playing crokinole, after which Mr. and Mrs. McLachlan were dolled, to the front and presented, with an address and a wall mirror. Mr. McLachlan replied very fittingly for himself and Mrs. McLachlan, expressing his appreciation of the spirit of good -will that ‘promp'ted the gift. Following the presenta- tion the ladies served lunch, which brought to a close -a very pleasant evening. Following is the .adtdress: "Dear Mr. and Mrs. McLachlan: We, your near neighbors and friends, take this opportunity to congratulate you and wish you the greatest happiness in your matrimonial venture. Since you gave us all a great surprise, we have planned' a little surprise for you. And speak- ing of surprises, it is .said that hus- bands are of three va�r�eties: priz- es. surprises and consolation priz- es As we were not at your wed- ding, we find it necessary to use our imagination in describing the event. So something like this should meet the case: 'The blush- ing bride wore a very pretty dress, and the groom was charmingly clad in a three-piece suit consist- ing of coat, vest and trousers, The vest was sleeveless and met in front and was gracefully fashioned with pockets.' Since marriage is a business partnership, we trust and believe that your business of living together will be a success- ful one. It is said that making a husband out of a man is one of the highest plastic arts known to civilization. It requires scien'ce, common sense, faith, hope and charity. "A long time ago I heard a toast given to woman, lovely woman- In closing the gentleman quoted: 'Fair woman in her haurse of ease, uncertain, coy and hard to please.' Then he faltered, fumbled, but with a wonderful air, continued,: 'But seen too oft, familiar with her face, we first endure, then pity, then embrace.' As a token of our friendship and best wishes in your wedded• bliss, we ask you to accept this little gift. May it reflect your happiness for many, many years." sal" rich flatier,'if'9 shade o.r Grey, Reda Viegne, 9* qr1 Roydlx Ndvyt;.Ffn `tpl ant Sky Slue Save n ow ons smart Short) Caatsf <• REGPL.A�I ` O 29,,x50 Qn Sa_le For ;: .. .
