moved very swiftly.
The thing which really took
me back over the years was some
violin and piano music supplied
by Mr. and Mrs. Bert Finlay; The
local , couple ,.played several
oldtime waltz numbers.
I recalled'- when I was a kid
(and for your information, . it.
wasn't THAT' long ago). I
attended a one -room sd'hool in
Stephen Townships and every
other., Friday evening or so, all
winter long, we had a
get-together there. It was a
community type outing, you
, understand, with the ladies
bringing plenty of good things to
eat. '
Usually, there was an hour or
so of progressive euchre to start
the evening off. Then some of .
the local musicians would gather
round the piano and rattle off a
fe '•. ,. itties. Before too long, the
des i and tables would get
pushed back and the dancing
would begin.
The music certainly wasn't
professional but everyone —
including the teenagers and kids
— could get into the sving .of it.
.. And _tliat's. _where i_learned _all
the popular dances of yesterday
- the waltz, the- heel and toe,''
the two-step, the reel, the
schottische and of course, 'the
good old square dance.
Those evenings were fun, such
fun. I remember them only with
' the . greatest of pleasure. The
music of Mr. and Mrs. Finlay•
brought all ' those memories
flooding back, and it was good.
Mrs:- Leonard Warr sang a
couple of numbers and then
joined ' with Mrs. Buchanan ,in
some old -favourite hymns.
Those hymns brought back
memories too. My mother and I
used to spend many Sunday
afternoons together at the piano.
,Sometimes I'd play; sometimes
she would play. But always we
sang those good old gospel
hymns which get the message
across with a brand of music
.that is lilting and fun to sing.
I don't have to tell you that
the senior citizens enjoyed' the
evening. During the singalong,
they threw, back their heads and.
sang lustily. When it was time to
go home, each one that had been
present carried avarm glow that
will last for a few days, I'm sure.

•I was surprised at the activity in

don't exactly know why.
,Somehow though, I'd featured a

On the other hand, the beach
was coveredwith sunbather's.- In
fact, some brave souls (mostly
children) were swimming
happily in the lake.
I've always lived close to the
