LUCKNOW REUNION
• , -
Watson Webster of Clinton, a
Lucknow native who left here on
May 10th, 1920, will lead his
pipe band in the Lucknow Reunion
parade on Saturday and plans on
having a band of 25 to 40 pieces
which he has been arranging for..
"The band will be composed of
members of the Clinton band,
where he is senior member, Brus-
sels band , and visiting and local
pipers and drummers who are all
welcome to join in.
Watt was born a mile west of
Lucknow in 1903., He had been
farming at Varna until about 3
years ago when he -.moved to Clin-
ton.
On Reunion Day he will be
wearing the MacPherson tartan,
the tartan of his great grandmoth-
er's clan. As senior member of
the Clinton band, he had the
choice of the kilt.
It is interesting to note that
Watson Webster was on parade
with the Lucknow Pipe Band on
November 11, 1918, to mak the
end of World War I. He has play-
ed the bass drumforthe past 55 •
years.
Watt recalls the 1910 reunion in
Lucknow when the famed Scottish
athlete Donald Dinnie was here
and of going to meet 'the
train, at age 7 years, with his
parents, waiting for the arrival of
the 48th Highlanders Pipe Band.
He hasn't missed a Lucknow Re-
union since.
Weekend Guide.
Camp At Greer's
Sixteen Lucknow Giri Guides
and their leaders attended an
overnight camp at Greer's farm
this past week end, Friday, June
21st and Saturday, June 22nd.
Friday was a busy rernoon
and evening as the time was spent
in setting up camp, pitching •
tents and gathering kindling for
the fires and generally getting
organized. The tents went up
with only one slight hitch and that
was overcome by the girls involved
deciding to sleep under the stars,
as the proper pole for pitching the
tent was left behind. Unwanted
visitors dampened the spirit of
.those sleeping out and sent them
scurrying to the other tents.
•Saturday, which went all too
quickly., included a hike in the •
morning to gather wood for an
• afternoon gession of gadget mak-
ing; also provided an excellent
opportunity for native objects;
a swimming session besides the
usual duties. The Guides apprec-
iated the assistance of Betty Col-
well who acted As life guard for
the swimming.
Following supper the task of
taking down the tents was com-
pleted in record, time. Although
the camp was a short one the girls
enjoyed themselves and are look-
ing forward toa longer time next
year. The Guides and Leaders ex-
tend appreciation and thanks to
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Greer for
allowing them to use their proper-
ty and facilities which provided
an excelleni' spot.
Those attending were: Lorna
