The council was in- vited by the successful contractors to 'take a trip west of Toronto and see some real concrete roads between Toronto and Hamilton.

Your teaching record could only be possible with & man of fine spirit. You have taught in our High School for forty years, and havé retained the respect and sincere good will of the pupils and the people of this community. Your name is held in high honour by our people. 7 . Much is expected of 2 teacher, and you have amply fulfilled the high ex- pectations. In the prime requisite--character--your influence has been of sterling worth. Wherever Port Perry students have gone, the society in which they move has been better for your example. * You have been an out- standing teacher of Mathematics in our Province, and have done much to enhance the fame of Port Perry High School. _ It must be a source of pleasure and pride for you to remember the boys and girls (many now illustrious men and women) who were taught correct reckoning and right reasoning by you. The sight of such a harvest is not granted to many men, and the wealth of good will and gratitude of those who benefitted by your instruction will enrich your life until its latest years. The daily grind is over, and we sincerely trust that for you the years of personal enjoyment may begin; that your trained and appreciative mind may take a new lease of life; and that each succeeding year may find your happi- ness and contentment increased. : As tokens of high esteem, Port Perry Board of Education ask you to accept this cane, and this address. Signed on behalf of the Board, Samuel Farmer, Chairman. partment, under mihi meal, Major -General McBrien in making the presentation pointed out the value of Mr. Stone's work, and the debt he owed to that veteran teacher, not only in the training of the mind, but in the formation qf character. He referred to the need of public service, and outlined some of the virtues that made for good citizenship, emphasizing the need for preparedness and true patriotism. He had a good word to say for the Boy Scouts who were ushers upon that. occasion, ar praising the good work of the Boy Scouts Association (of which his awn boys are members) he left this fine motto with them, written by a chaplain during the war--"In honor chivalrous; in duty valorous; in all things noble; and to the heart's core clean." Mr. Stone's reply was characteristic of the man, very modest; but sincerely. appreciative ofthe. honor conferred upon him, and thoroughly enjoying the success and fame of his former pupils. Several men of outstanding achievement were present at the dinner and the reception and spoke with sincere regard of the work of Mr. Stone and the large part he had played in laying the foundations of their success in their lives. The former pupils who spoke were Dr. Herbert Bruce, Prof. A. T. DeLury, Mr. Archie Burnham, Rev. James Miller. Brief ad- dresses were given by Mr. Follick, Dr. S. J. Mellow, Rev. W. Higgs and the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Farmer. All the speakers referred to the excellent work of Mr. McBride. Excellent musical numbers were given by Miss Helen Mellow, Mrs. D. Carnegie, Mrs. J. E. Jackson and Mr. V. P. Stouffer. As the chairman's address outlines the work of Mr. Stone and gives the names and standing of many of his former pupils who have "made good" it is given herewith. r. Stone, Ladies and Gentlemen--Citizens of Port Perry: This is a rare occasion and one of great honor to Mr. Stone, to our High School and to our town. A gathering such as this is a fine object lesson of the part which our community has played and is lee making Canada and the world better for the fact that we are here. ; * During the great world struggle we gave seventy men from this village, and many thousands of dollars to provide comforts for those who fought for us. That contribution was. large; but it was small in comparison to the great gifts that this village has made to the world during the forty years in which Mr. Stone has taught in our High School. ; Many, people deplore the lack of the hustle and bustle of in- dustry. Some complain that there is nothing doing here; that the town is dead. { Let me tell you that Port Perry is not dead. We are leaders here to a greater extent than most people realize. In fact it is becoming an established practice in some big American papers when anything extraordinary happens, to have it happen in or near Port Perry. Recently the Mayor of Belleville and the Mayor of Toronto exchanged courtesies and the news was flashed across the wires to the great American dailies from Port Perry, the natural centre of these suburban points such as Toronto, Ottawa, jelleville, and shall we say it? Oshawa, but let me assure you that the story of the cow that upset the English Church was incorrect go far as Port Perry is concerned. Perhaps we do not deserve this ¥ which the American papers have been giving us recent- "we certainly do deserve a lasting fame for training men to take honorable places in the world, and to our uch as Mr. Stone.

But those whose work is known there is a goodly company. . Necessarily the roll call will be something of a catalogue, but it is a glorious catalogue and one that is an honor to Mr. Stone and to Port Pery High School. These are other former students who are taking a leading part in the affairs of the day: Professor Graham Christie, Head of Engineering Dept, Johns Hopkins University ; Fred Christie, Engineer, who has built ! large bridges on the C.

C.,, And still the list goes on, recently Ernie Gerrow and Allan Sweetman were said to be the most brilliant students then attending Normal, but we cannot name more, or you will not be able to get home in time; but enough has been said to amply prove my point--Mr. Stone has made a notable contribution.to society in training these illustrous pupils. A number of letters were received, which ate printed herewith: Mr. Samuel 'Farmer, Brandon, May 13, 1924 Chairman of Board of Education, Port Perry Ontario, My Dear Sir: Thanks for your kind invitation to be present at the banquet being tendered to Mr. George Stone who has given himself with- out stint for forty years to the work of teaching in Port Perry High School. It would have afforded me real pleasure, I look back with very happy memories to those days and the influence of two or three teachers to whom I owe so much. One cannot think of the school without at the same time thinking of Mr. Stone and Mr. McBride. Mr. Stone always made one feel a deeper sense of our duty to do honest hard work." His firm discipline was always tempered by his kindly sympathetic heart. We brought our rebellious wills into submission even when, we had been granted a half-holiday for skating on the lake, Mr. Stone in announcing the good news, would add, "We ghall have the Algebra questions first." He had always before him the imterests of the students. The passing years have but served to deepen our appreciation and gratitude. I envy you all the privilege of hearing the speeches and meet- ing the many old friends who will be gathered to do honour to one who has earned a great and abiding place in the affection of all who came under his leading. It is my sincere wish that Mr. Stone may long be spared to enjoy the affectionate regard of his old girls and boys. Yours sincerely, J. George Miller. St. John, N.B., May 14th, 1924 Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Board Members, Teachers, School Fellows, Port Perry Old Girls and Boys, Diners All: Was it old Cato Major who said, "It's excusable for an old man to talk about himself but a young man never." As this is our 56th year, actually earning, then we claim excuse, if a personal thread enters tHe warp and woof of this chat which we promise will be brief. . In fact you might well compare it to the modern, Port Perry girl's dress, that is. it will be barely sufficient to cover the subject; brief enough to be interesting. In the past fifty years it has been our good fortune to meet many eminent successful men, in many different countries cover- ing almost every occupation. There was one feature in each man's experience that especially impressed us. Every man no matter how great the services he rendered had a feeling of dis- appointment and often regret, that there was so great a lack of appreciation from those served. Is not this unfortunate? What pleasure to find that after forty years excelelnt service that our Guest Mr. Stone comes into his own. Its delightful to have this opportunity to express the pentup appreciation. It's just fine. It's tangible. It wipes out the discouragements of forty years. But why did we wait forty years? Why not have thrown the bouquets daily, weekly, monthly or annually instead of four de- cades? It is better to throw them now than on the coffin lid as 1 fear it is custom of many of us." How it would have cheered and encouaged did the teacher know how we loved, respected and ad- mired. Let us make good in future and not hold in forty years again. As the small boy put it, "Ill bust if I do." Personally Mr. Stone rendered me great service. I received more from him than was printéd in the books, but a testimonial much highér yet is due him from me because he brought up and and 'trained my be Notherhod : Trani considers thousands' of other mai he has helped to train for their life's work, m many of them | i wi figures and s ho have Saved high in their Cotry that: .
