IN MEMORIUM
DUFFY—In loving memory of my
dear husband, John H. Duffy,
whom God called home to rest Feb-
ruary 5th, 1926.
'Tis just five years, how swift time
flies,
Loves sweetest memory never dies.
1 miss his help,his cheery ways;
With him I spent many happy days;
1 miss him when in need of a friend,
On him I could always depend.
He cheered my .life, he soothed my
pain,
God grant some day we'll meet
again,
Sadly missed by his wife, Mary.
One of the best whom God could lend
A loving father, a faithful friend;
We miss him and mourn him in sil-
en .unseen,
And dwell on the memory of days
that have been.
Iver remembered by
Stella, Freeda and Herb.
WINGHAM HIGH
SCHQQL L.ITE!ARY
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle-
men—as prophetess for 1931 I bring
the following message from the Or-
acle of Appollo at Delphi to , the
teachers and pupils of Wingham
High School. '
Of old when the Oracle spake in
Greece
A maiden was chosen Queen
She fasted and prayed in a special
place
And then she rose serene.
And went to Oracle's temple
Where a huge tripod sat
Through clouds of smoky incense
And the trumpets noisy blast
She sat on the tripod listening
And when the Oracle spoke
She translated the low, wise murmurs
Into a kind of note
So I hied me to that Greek land
So far across the sea
And begged of that windy Oracle,
Please speak and speak for me.
(Continued from page 1)
concise and right to the point, show-
ing the need for the Vocational
Schools in the Municipal districts:
A school should beestablished for
those who do not make a success of
working with their heads in order to
learn how to work and become skill-
ed with their hands. The old idea of
a girl's occupation being either that
of :a •school teacher, a nurse or a wife
was fast disappearing and recently a
book' had been published which show-
ed over twenty thousand occupations
of men and women in the United
States, and home -making was not one
of these.
Both these speakers Ieft excellent
ideas in the mind. A vote of thanks
was moved by Mr. Cosens and sec-
onded by Principal Brackenbury, The.
c'oinniencenient exercises were brou-
ght to a close with the singing of
"God Save the King."
The account of the commencement
exercises is the result of a competi-
tion fostered by the Board of Edu-
cation for which prizes were offered
for the best account of the meeting,
and was written by Betty Walker,

But through the week, he "sasses'

He's just

She's 'a very noted hostess,
The Premier's lovely wife.
While. May Nicholson, a suffragette,

Pouring out the 'motor -oil,'
And Wilma Dow, Scott Mitchell

She's selling poems now,

To this poet make a bow.
And Ross was' taken for a tramp.
And stowed away in jail,
Till all Blair Gibbons' sons came out,
And got Ross out on bail.

As they just adore that land.
I beg you'll let me rest a while,
The priestess -whispered low.
I said: "Oh, tell me just a little mnone.
Before you bid me go."
Her golden tresses gleamed as brass,
Her laurel crown was dead;
Her eves were dull and lifeless things

Rae Thompson has the rheumatiz;
And gout and painful arches;
He ate too much of jelly cake
And other kinds of starches.

And so did his right lung.

He went to have it lifted,

Again her voice she raised, and said
Did the Oracle of. Appollo
Repay you for your coming here,
Could you this wise verse follow?
Did it foretell or give advice
On all that you. would know,
If not, dear Ruth, 1 fear that you,
To another :shrine must go.
I cane away from sunny Greece,
To this Canada of mine,
And I often thought of that Oracle
As I sailed across the brine.

GROUNDHOG SESS
HIS SHADOW
sleepy groundhog emerged form
his den in a wood on Tuesday. He
rubbed his eyes and blinked at the
dazzling sunlight Then he spotted.
a .shadow on the white mantle of
snow. It was a perfect shadow of a
sleepy groundhog and .the littlean 1
mal was so surprised that he darted
back into his burrow and pulled the
covers in after hien.
He's sound asleep by this tune and
according to Indian tradition, he will
remain asleep for the next six weeks.
As a result, of his suddenfright and.
decision to return to his slumbers,
Wingham citizens will .face cold wea-
ther for the next six weeks.
Candlemas Day has long been 're-
garded as a day on which the weath-
er for the next month and a half will
be. forecast. While. Skeptical whites
have, never been known to scrap their
furnaces as the result of a promise
of early Spring on this day, the In-
dians are said to have placed great
faith in it. The bear was the orig-
inal prophet, but since bears are not
overly plentiful in- this part of the
province now,the groundhog has to
ken its' place,

Confidence and good will are said
to be an institution's greatest asset,
and confidence gave the "Old Huron

in history. In view of general condi-
tions, this is considered an excellent
showing and will tend to increase the
growing feeling of optimism on the
