August 12, 1937 Dear George: As I look over the names 0f the men on the Old Boys Reunien committee, not.lng how rnany are former bigh scbool boys of my time, and read letters frorn those who promise te attend, it seems clear that I should go too, and neet some of the boys and girls I used te know. It is thirty-one years since I went to Bowmanville as principal of the Higb School. There were four on the staff then, and my as- sociates were Miss E. Allin (now Mrs. D. DeLuryt, Mr. A. R. Cam- eren, now practising law at Belle- ville, and Mr. W. G. Carpenter of Calgary, principal of the Provin- cial School of Technology and Art and Director of Technical Edu- cation for Alberta. I arn interested to note that Rev. Hugh Munroe, Moderator of tbe Presbyterian Church, is likely te attend. He and I were charter members of the Canadian Club. I have the program of the organ- isation meeting of the Club on November. 12, 1909, at which the speakers were Rhys D. Fairbairni, C. R. McCulloch and J. Castell Hopkins. Yours sincerely, John Eliott. 39 Arnett Blvd. Rochester, N. Y. August 18, 1937 Dear George:- I received the invitation te the Reunion and arn more sorry than I can tell at being unable to at- tend. I have been very ill, went te bospital early in April and was there 7 weeks. 1 arn feeling much better. We had Mr. and Mrs. Ross Pearce, Ebenezer, with us over the weekend. It just makes me feel terrible when I get the paper and read the letters from all the old fri- ends whe are planning to attend. Wel.I will wish you ahl success. Hope I may be well enough to at- tend the next ene. Sincerely yeurs, (Mrs.) Allie We]sh Shantz. 1071 Edgewoed Ave. Jacksonville, Fia. August 26, 1937 My Dear Gee. James: Tbank you for The Canadian Statesman. I had received the Mayor's formai invitation te at- tend the 014 Boys' Reunion. 0f course I'd love te visît Bowman- ville any time, fer it will always bc in my heart affectionately. I wouldn't know any of my old pu- pils for really forty-seven years do things to us pbysically. If they have grown up as geod citizens, and are good-looking, I'd find much pleasure giving al of you the "once-over." Your pape r looks Just like ours - front page big beadline about highway troub- les. I bave scanned it carefully for names 1 once knew. Jury. Couch, Jobnston & Cryderman seem to be the only ones 1 recog- nize. Too bac! I'm se forgetful of names. The Reunion prograni looks very fine. I can assure you, you will enjoy hearing Mr. Paul. Te me he is one of the most c harm ing speakers, fine in thought. delightful in expressing his thought, and such a social understanding personality. I bave enjoyed some of the main articles, Your World and Mine." "Pas- 'eurized Milk." the Editorials. and especially your survey for plenty of water, etc., and I read the ex- arination lists. Thanking you George for reminding the Mayor that you bad an oic! teacher dewn here, and wishing you happiness and success in the real sense. Your friend. Martba (Butchart) Baughman. 1602 Delaware Ave., Bufale August 12, 1937 Dear Geo. Many thanks for the kind in- vitation te the "Gatherlng of the Clan" which I received througb you, and I trust it will be a great success. If there were only more of sucb things it weuld go a long way towards smoothing eut the great unrest in the world today. Am going to make an effort te be on the job at least part et the time. Very truly yeurs, Arthur A. Elford. 1143 Avenue Venetia, Coral Gables, Fla. August 31, 1937 Dear Geo.: Congratulations te you and The Statesman, the Mayor and aI! whe helped te make the reunlen such a glorleus success. It is about the finest I ever attended anywhere. 1 neyer had such a wonderful time in aIl my life. I saw a great 1rnany people whom I hadn't seen since I left Bowmanville in 1885. It was worth travelling a long way te see and hear my school boy friend - Dr. Chas. T. Paul. What a quiet, humble, unassuming man he is and what a splendid mind and such a sense of merry humer. Bowmanville is justly proud of such a worthy and brilliant son. I was very much su.rprised at the size of the crowds at the Cream 0f Barley Camp and especialy0 the Sunday n.ight audience at-h high school campus. I sincerely trust we will have another re- union, say, in five years. Very cordialiy yours, .. Edwy White. 640 Lipton Street Winnipeg, Manitoba August 6, 1937 Dear Mr. James - I appreciate your thoughtful- ness in remembering me on the occasion of the coming celebra- tions of the Durhamn Old Boys' Reunion and I arn deeply thank- fuI for the invitation. I would gladly accept trie invi- tation without any pressure but unfortunatiely I arn unable te be with you, but I will watch The Statesman to see If any old fr1- ends of mine turu up.

Suite 40 Sef ton Building, 440 C Street, San Diego, California, August 25, 1937 Mr. Norman Plummer, Bowrnanville, Ont. Dear Norman and Susie: I wish to thank the Durham 014 Boys' Reunion for their kind invitat2on to meet with them. AI- though I was net born there, but in York county, Bowmanville wau the first school fer me, and Roger Fishleigh (my hero at that time) was the one to f irst take me te school. I stiil have many pleas- ant memories of those first few years. He and Will Flshleiglh showed me how te tap the mapît sugar trees. back of our eld bouse, and how te do maniy other things. Mary and Susie Fishleigh showec me how te play drop the h.andker- cief. ring around, etc. Theedore would say, tell your ma can you corne eut. Then I meved out o: town when about 9 years oIc!. Bu' in later years spent some yeny happy vacations and visits to Bowmanville, se I amn glad te be counted an '014 Durharn Boy.' Then again in Toronto after leav- ing scbool, and attending the Bathu.rst St. night scbool, I count- ed myseif fortunate in having for rny teacher a young Dr. TiIley one year and the next year bis bro- ther, Att'ny Tilley, both of Bew- manville.
