m THE COLBORNF EXPRESS, THl|RSDAY, NOVEMBER 17th, 1938 $2.00 a year in advance; $2.50 to U. S. A. Vox Nostrae Scholae We regret that Mary and Isobel Rutherford have been absent for some time through Illness. The meeting of the High School Literary Society last week included the observance of Rememlbtrance Day. Isabel RutherfdTd recited very effectively Laurence Binyon's poem, "To the Fallen," after which the two minutes' silence was observed, ending with the National Anthem. Jack Hart in a short speech expressed the hope that eventually war would be added to the evils of slavery and witchcraft of which the world Is now free. Edith Pearson reminded us of the tragedy of war in her Interpretation of Ayntoun's poem, "Edinburgh After Flodden," which preserved the memory of Scotland's bitterest experience. Everyone enjoyed Alfred Noyes' stirring ballad, "The Highwayman," given by Mildred Peebles, and the piano duet contributed by Jean Oosens and Mary Tye. Not often has the Literary Society had the opportunity of listening to a lovelier trio than that sung by Loene Rutherford, Phylliis Oke and Jean Rutherford. Raymond Brooks made a good Marullus, Louis Keating a good Flav-ius as they tried to intimidate the carpenter, Charles Rowsome, and the stubborn coibibler, Jack Hart. In the absence of Sandy Rutherford on account of illness, who was prepared to discuss the Jewish problem, the Principal expressed the opinion that the persecution of :he Jews was due not to religious differences but to economic antagonisms. The school paper read by Edna Arkles reflected the literary and artistic ability of a host of contributors and the editorial skill of Norma Bell and Betty Row-some. The President. Ford Cowie, conducted a quiz on the celebrities of the day, including Mrs. Adamson, Herbert Lehman, Count Ciano and Marie Dionne. The design on the cover of the paper was the inspiration of Lola Bell. The Middle School assumed the responsibility of this program. Grade X will provide the next program. Accomding to estimates, the White House and its grounds are worth $21,936,000. _ Alfred George Budd On Saturday, November 5th, 1938, the death occurred suddenly of Mr. Alfred George Budd, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Bruce Warner, Lakeport.
