STONE SCHOOL RE -UNION
AND DIAMOND JUBILEE
(Continued from page i.)
greens. The school was organized
and originally built in r864 and this
was their first re -union.
Mr. Wm. Isbister, an old resident
and perhaps the oldest man in the
community, occupied the chair.
C. G. Campbell, president of the re-
union organization, read an address
of welcome, as follows:—
"It
ollows:"It is with varied emotions that, I
stand before you, friends of the past
and present. There are the vivid
memories ;of boyhood, early,' manhood,
and my very life itself, wrapped up
in the associations of this locality. AAl-
though not five years old when the
first meeting to form this school sec-
tion was called, I seem either in real-
ity or because of the concentration.
we old timers have been engaged in
to recall the past, have a vague re-
collection of that first meeting which
was held in our home, the oldest in
the locality and the first, other than
log cabins to occupy the community
for miles about.
It would be well for me to pay a
tribute to the former teachers whose
influence has reached the farthest cor-
ners of the earth. As evidence 'of
this I have pleasure' in reading a let-
ter just received from a former pupil
now in Mexico.
Men and women in all walks of life
have learned their A. B. C's in this
little stone school and its log prede-
cessor. •
Few teachers realize the influence
they have in the progress' of -civili-
zation; Reverently do we bow our
heads -to the memory of those pioneer
teachers whose methods may not have
been just what we would to -day call
progressive. But surely we must rea-
lize that in those early days of be -
•ginning it was difficult for anyone to
acquire the knowledge that was ne-
cessary and which to -day is within
easy reach of all.
Everyone, of us is thinking of the
past to -day. The faces ,of those that
have gone before us to the other
world, rise in veiled memory before
us. And 'it is well for me to call to
your mind that there are hundreds
here in spirit who could not make
the trip for various reasons. •
In conclusion I want to thank 'the
various committees who have assisted
in making this day possible. And it
is my intention that this address may
lee • prepared in such a way that it
may be hung in the old school as° a
momento of this first re -union for I
feel cc lain that other re -unions will
be organized in the progress of time.
And it seems' fitting to me -that there
should be a tangible memoranda of
this' happy day," folibwcd by appro-
priate addresses by me -teachers, en -
pupils and Mr. George Spotton M. P.
Mr. Spotton very kindly made a don-
ation of money to the ,organization.
Highland dancing tq splendid pipe,
music featured the afternoon, but best
of all was 'the happy re -union of the
old boys acid girls, who were present
from oast to' coast and as farsouth
as the State of Kansas.
Everywhere' "Becky was meeting
Jack" and 'Toni was meeting Jane"
while others 'were looking for the
"Spring at the foot of the hill" and
the "ole swimmin' hole",
About five o'clock hot coffee and
lineal was served.
Dr. W. R. Roe in his humorous
happy manner occupied the chair for
the evening. A good programme of
excellent local talent assisted by Mas-
ter Robert Beekman, of Kansas City,
was rendered, A dance followed,
where the 'old became young again.
This brought to a close the happy
Ra -Union and Diamond Jubilee of
the Old Stone School,
Sheep and Swipe Demonstration,
Arrangements have been made tc
hold a Sheep and Swine demonstra-
tion on the farm of John L, McEwer.
or P. McEwen, Bluevale on Wednes-
day afternoon, July 18th,. Dr. Lionel
Stevenson, Provincial *Zoologist will
be present and will discuss the various
internal parasites effecting these clas-
ses of Live Stock and will discuss,
and demonstrate the various methods
of treatment. All sheep and swine
owners are cordially invited to be
present. `
Teeswater To Hold Re -
Union Next Year
At a meeting of the Board of Trade
Thursday evening it was unanimously
decided to hold an old boys' re=union
in 5929, on August 4, 5, 6 and 7.
It is dine years ago this August
that Teeswater held a re -union and
inquiries have been coining in from
all over asking if the event was to
be repeated in 1929. With the new
paved street, hydro power and im-
proved • park, Teeswater has much
better facilities and accomodation to
offer in 1929 than they did in '191,0,,
Many of the former citizens who
were active in making the 5959 re-
union a success will again be the per-
sonnel of the 1929' committee,
