"Vox Nostrae Scholae" Last Thursday, the Middle School presented at the meeting of the Literary Society, the clever play, "The House with the Twisted Windows'." t; The parts wee taken by Betty Row-some, Betty Fowler, Leone Rutherford, Harold Moore, Jack Kernaghan and Vance Sutton, under the direction of Miss Davidson. Music by Betty Fowler and Noreen Purdy. Readings by Edna Arkles and Dorothy Walker. Community,singing, led by Mr. Bee-tiraft; l|hie -student's paper,read by Muriel Arkles, completed an inter-, esting program. We are sorry that, Billy Moore has had to leave school, and sorry toot that Ruth MacGregor will be unable to return to school. The examinations which begin on Friday are a reminder that the present school year is already half over. John Cameron, a train-robber, was sentenced to Leavenworth peneten-tiary for 27 years on Decemlber 29th, 1926. This fact really implied no reflection on the character of the Scotch race, for this man was horn Kamariotis, a Greek. On April 5th. 1935, a fellow-countryman living at Pontiac, Michigan, broke into the news column by reason of the desire of his family to change the family name. One could hardly fail to sympathize with the eight children of Glafkos PapatheodorokomouTidronico-lucopolus. They wished the name abbreviated to Pappas, but the father" argued that there were Pappases and j many Copouloses "and I would like to ! keep my name as It is. But" (like many another modern father with a j modern family) "I guess I'll have a tough time making them, do it." But of all immigrants into America. . the Jews are the most willing to I change their names, thus escaping their foreignness and also hiding surnames are not an ancient poses-sion of the Jews. Surnames became general among European Jews only1 at the end of the eighteenth or the •beginning of the nineteenth centuries Samuel Goldwyn. the movie magnate, was born Gelbfisch and passed through the stage of Goldfish. The story is 'told that a Doctor Levy approached a British court to permit hto to change his name to Sullivan, which was granted. A month later he requested to be allowed to change his name again to Kilpatriek so that he would have an answer for his patients, who were continually asking him "What was your name before?" A London Jewish paper tells this ----^ry~~lHl«r;i-!rtiTr?f---fcho- «ama -Jowitis tendency. "A Mrs. Selby was introduced to a Mrs. Levy at the bridgi-table. "Are you related." asked Mrs. Levy, "to the Selbys of Sydney?" "No," answered Mrs. Selby, "the Sydney Selbys are Silverbergs, while we are Schneiders." The play. Henry IV Part I. is con-cerned primarily with Henry IV and his struggle to maintain his throne against rebellion. Side by side with this story, is the story of Falstaff. Many who read the play remember little of the more serious part; Falstaff and h's monstrous pranks remain vividly in their mind. The reason may be found in Shakespeare's own delight in Falstaff. The prototype of the character appears in an old chronicle play "The Famous Victories of Henry V," w.th which Shakespeare was undoubtedly familiar. In that play appeared Sir John Oldcastle. a rascally old knigh:. who robbed and laughed with a band of Jow confederates, and who sometimes won the companionship of the Prince of Wales. Shakespeare must have been attracted by the possibilities of Mrs. C. B. Turk Entertains January Meeting Wicklow-Vernonville W. I. The Wlioklow-Vernonville W. I. assembled at the home of Mrs. Turk on Wednesday afternoon, January 26th, 1938, for the first meeting of the year. The President. Mrs. Calder was in the chair. After the usual preliminaries the Roll Gall was taken and freely responded to. Business was then transacted. An appeal from the Red Cross for Chinese relief was brought to the attention of the meeting. The sum of $2.00 was voted and the Sunshine relief work of the Branch was cancelled until the end of April. Mrs. W. Hoskin jr. was the Convener for the meeting, and the subject was "Home Economics." She co-operated with the "local leaders," Mrs. C. Rutherford and Mrs. Calder, and a splendid meeting was held. Four children from Vernonville School sang a pretty selection. Miss L. Tailing, their teacher accompanied them. Mrs. F. Williams read a humorous selection. "Family Financing." The Current Events were given by Mrs. Larry. Mrs. Hoskin gave a reading on "Home Economies." Mrs. C. Rutherford gave an instructive address on "Scientific Truts of Food Chemistry." Mrs. Calder gave valuable Information on the cooking of vegetables. She demonstrated bake potatoes, scalloped cabbage, corn, and two kinds of salad dressing, pll of which were used at a. sumptuous supper. All were delighted with the meeting. Capt. John E. Govan Death removed a well-known and highly respected resident of Campbellford last week. • The late Mr. Govan was born July 18th, 1851, eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Walter Govan, of Symour. He received his early education in Campbellford and at Peterborough Grammar School, later attending the Toronto Military School.
