MEMORIES OF
THE ROYAL JUBILEE
AT SEAFORTH
H
(Fred J. Lawrence)
By the year 1877, Victoria, the
Good, "who knew the seasons, when
to take occasion by the hand and
make the bounds of freedom wider
yet", had justcompleted 00 years
on the English. °throne, •To render
some public proof of 'our filial affec-
tilin for our peace -loving Sovereign,
the political leaders and educational
authorities, in the banner County o£
Huron,co-operated in holding a Ju-
bilee embracing both urban and ru-
ral schools within the county limits.
Belonging to the rural section, we
could scarcely wait for the greatest
day in our lives to arrive. At long
last the 24th of May actually, dawn-
ed, quite auspiciously enough. The
extreme sultriness of the morning,
however, portended imminent rant,
Sure enough, by the time we were
ready to set out for a four -mile
drive to Seaforth, King Pluvius sud-
denly unbolted Itis stonmclbuds, ac-
companied •by the usual electrical
pyrotechnics.
We had ocular proof of the inten-
sity of the storm in an . unexpected
manner. On starting out on our
journey to town, we saw a fine-
looking Clydesdale horse lying pros-
trate on a .pasture -field, the victim
of a lightning -bolt. Close by smoke
seemed to be issuing from the open-
ing, made in the ground, when the
electrical current, entered the earth,
The 'incidental fade standing out
clearly in my mind was this: since
my father had learned so inadvert-
ently of his neighbour's (Angus Mc-
Leod) mishap, he forthwith dis-
mounted, while en route to the cele -
ratios, and stepped over to the
stricken animal to render assistance
in seeing to a fitting burial, as it
was yet the "pick and shovel" age.
Whether our father succeeded in
reaching town before the fete ended,
I never knew.
Upon arriving in town, about the
first impression I recall was the in-
numerable number of top -buggies,
carts, democrats and waggons park-
ed anywhere and everywhere, as
there were no parking meters then,
Also the crowds of children like
ourselves, found milling around, of-
ten in mute amazement at the
whole thing. The biggest feature,
once formal ceremonies at last got
under way, was the Commanding
Officer, a Dr. Coleman. in the habit
of a Royal Mounted Police Officer,
while scarlet coats still held sway,
Never before had I seen a real offi-
er, mounted on a milk -white Arab
eed, with "real spur's on heel and

At last the parade gets under

bands leading, with civil dignitaries,
fraternal organizations and nonde-

and school classes, marching along
as separate and distinct units, ac-
companied by their respective teach=
ers, on their flank.
Keeping in mind the fact that
many of the pupils were of a very
tender age, that we were called up-
on to march in mud and water 2 or
3 inches deep, and, as never before,
had we seen such a gala perform-
ance, is it any wonder that, as I
found myself slowing up in the
march, in order that I might, at
closer range, examine that scarlet
at and that intriguing' gold braid,
ith painful suddenness I felt a
arp thrust of the end of an um-
rella, right between my fourth and

nunancl from our teacher to,
"Step lively there! and get into step
with your partner."
The pointed injunction must have
been administered at the psychologi-
cal moment. About a fortnight later
we were just about to be dismissed
from our classroom for recess when,
as we looked up at our teacher, Dun-
can McGregor, we saw that he
seemed to be rather fumbling with
something on top of his desk. At
last he managed to cut the cord
binding the parcel. With cold delib-
eration he removed the covering
and, while vainly attempting to hide
a smile, he held up to full view of
all the seated pupils a brand new,
fully -inflated, and, all -ready -to -go
football, "First Prize", so he told
us, from the Huron Co. Jubilee
Committee, "for having put on the
best display of marching by all ru-
ral Schools". In all 162 schools par-
ticipated. From that day to this I
have consistently maintained an
ever-growing fondness for umb-

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS
The chit-chat around the halls the
past week has been mostly of Easter
exams and Easter holidays. The ex-
am picture faded out last week but
the results are starting to show
their effect this week. Not likely
the reports will be .handed out until
after the holidays, This will help
some to think all holidays, how to
come up in the June finals.
The school doors will be closed
next woejc, always a sad sound to
scholars. Just think, next week you
can sleep in, loaf, and take life gen-
erally easy, It has been a- long road I
to travel without a break from
Christmas to Easter,
Cadet work is starting to shape
up this week with bugle band get-
ting into full swing and the drill
squads starting the battle to get off
on the left foot. Last year Seaforth-I
ites were honoured to have the best
cadet squad in Ontario. With long!
hones of practising ahead, it is hoped
that Seaforth can still be the top
contenders.
Last week Jim Flannigan and
Doug Stewart were nominated to
see the teachers as to contenders to
represent Seaforth High at the
London Free Press School boys' day
in London, on Friday afternoon, the
vote was held by the students with
Doug coming up with the largest
number of votes, Jim was close on
Doug's hes is but didn't quite make
the grade.
Question of the week: What April
Fool joke got everybody in the
school?'
SPORT SHORTS
Seaforth hockey fans have seen
top Jr. B play-off hockey in the
past six weeks in the present Water-
loo series, though local Baldwins
had a little tough luck in getting in-
to full stride. Although the Water-
loo club has come up with two
straight wins in the best of seven
series, Seaforth has no idea of giv-
ing it to them in four straight but
plan on coming back to stretch the
complete series to its full length.
Playing on home ice on Wednesday
night the local club will play the
next two straight in Waterloo if
necessary. The Suskins won the
toss in getting the fifth game on
home ice. This will give Waterloo
the game advantage in the series.
Last week the Seaforth il'ferch-
chants took the Baker cup for the
second year straight after roughing
the Egmondville Terrors in the I. H.
L. finals, Although the Merchants
record wasn't as good this year as
the previous, the Merchants showed
they had the pep when the going
was rough.
