Observe 45th Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. George Wallace, of Cromarty, • celebrated their forty- fifth wedding anniversary Wednes- day, March 9, when they were guests of honor at a family dinner at the Hillcrest Tea Rooms in Mit- chell.

Mrs. Wallace is the former Chris- tina McKellar, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Donald McKellar, of Cromarty, and Mr. Wallace was born near Carlingford in Downie Township. They were married at the home of the bride's parents by Rev. R. G. MacKay. Following their marriage they farmed in Downie Township for 25 years, then moved to a farm in Hibbert Township. They sold their farm and moved to Cromarty in 1949. They have two daughters, (Vel- ma) Mrs. Percy Adams, of Monk - ton, (Verna). Mrs. Ed. Brooks, of Staffa, and two sons, John, on a farm near Cromarty, and Donald, a farmer near Carlingford. There are 10 grandchildren.

The difficulty was either that the school spirit is very low, causing the downfall or, perhaps it was be- cause of a dance at Walton. May- be it wasn't a failure, to the peo- ple who attended, but• in the Stu- dents' Council the money gain was only $6.13. This is a very poor showing for a student body of well over 200 students, who had the Roman dance called off too. In the regular assembly this week Mr. Plumsteel gave a lecture on the value of education to stu- dents in this day and age. He stressed the importance of stu- dents striving for a goal. The talk was given to recognize Education- al Week in Canada. This year the Students' Council has made a profit of over $200. Now the question arises, w'..a! are we going to do with all this money?

It was also decided to entertain the coun- try students at noon hours by buy- ing them such games as chess scrabble, and for the benefit of certain boys who pass the lunch hour playing cards, a new deck of cards. On February 18 the students of Grades 12 and 13, taking Upper School English literature, were privileged to attend the London Little Theatre to see "The Bar- retts of Wimple Street.” This is the Upper School play this year and is based on Elizabeth Bar- rett's courtship with Robert Browning against a jealous, over- bearing father. Students from this section of Western Ontario at- tended this play. Last assembly had Mr. Harold Baker, the assistant agricultural representative of Huron County, give a talk on the importance of 4-H Clubs. This was an interest- ing talk, especially to the rural students, but to some town stu- dents it went in one ear and out the other. Nevertheless, one coun- try student, who was so taken up by the talk, fainted! A well-known end popular figure about the school (even if he wasn't a student) has left our midst. Mr. Norman Knight, better known to the students as "Jockie", and as the driver of Bus No. 10, passed away very suddenly on Tuesday. He is now through having to drive a bunch of noisy students through show and rain every school day of the year. He will be sadly missed and remembered by all students and teachers who knew him. Question of the week: Joan T.: Do you like with the glasses or without? OLD BOYS' NEWS Enthusiastic responses are being received from Old Boys and Girls who have learned of reunion pre- parations, On the west coast, Jim Broadfoot is hard at work organ- izing a group to return to Sea - forth for the celebration, July 30 to August 3, and, in Ottawa, Frank Golding is contacting Seaforth Old Boys and Girls, to tell them the good news. Mrs. Bert Hemingway in Brussels is looking forward to renewing acquaintances among the people with whom she went to school at the Seaforth Collegiate Institute. Talking of school• reunions, a special events committee has been established, and is headed by vice- presidnt A. W. Sillery. Among other duties, the committee is ar- ranging reunions in each of the Seaforth schools, as -well as en- couraging groups in district schools to arrange reunion occa- sions. These events, it is felt, will provide opportunities for school- mates of years. agone to get to- gether and recall incidents which were features of their school days. As details are worked out, infor- mation will go out to the various classes from the special commit- tee. The first letter, taddressed to a thousand former residents, has gone forward this week. The let- ter tells of the plans which are being made and invites the Old Boys and Old Girls to make their arrangements now so that they will all be back home again next July 30 - August 3. First reservation for the Old Boys was received by the Queen's Hotel last week, when Mr. and Mrs. E W. Edge, Toronto, wrote in and asked that, accommodation be held for them. $$ ;The executive of the association held a well -attended meeting Mon- day evening when plans were ad- vanced a step further for the ev- ents which will occupy the atten- tion of -visitors during Old Home Week. While it is too early to in- dicate in a precise way the pro- gram that is being arranged, it is enough to say that there will be few idle moments during the five days of the reunion. "That pretty girl seems to be having a good time!" "H'm, yes—her fiance, a young medical officer in Malta, is com- ing home to marry her next month."
