Lovick with a three-piece silver tea service. An address, expressing the love and affection of the . members of the club, accompanied the gift. Mrs. (Dr.) A. W. Richardson, the first ade president of the Louise Club, the presentation and Fire Chief James Armstrong read the address. Louise school; as is well known, Is to be used as qn addition to the Collegiate Institute and Miss Lovick has been transferred to Sydenham school. "The address presented to Miss Lovick reads as follows: "Dear Miss Lovick: We, the mem- bers of the Home and School Club of Louise school are meeting to-day under circumstances that necessar- ily sadden our hearts. To us has come the hour to disband our club, to say farewell to you and the teach- ers of the school, since this meeting marks the final closing of the build- ing as a public school. a Ashton to Stittsville the: "While Louise school "has for years been one of the smallest schools in our. city, yet, largely through your wise counsel and as- sistance, there las been created a semuine sympathy and understand- ing between the parents and the teachers of the school, which we be- lieve has been largely brought about by the organization of what is known as the Home and School Club. all though this club may have been, it has sought and obtained objects for the betterment of the schodl, and I believe unsurpassed by none, and we are not unmindful of your guid- ing hand through it all. 2 "There is sincere regret im the closing of our school, and in the severance of ties that have Hound us together as a club, teachers and par- ents, yet, we feel that in the new school and in Sydenham school the proud spirit of old Louise' will still 80 on. "To you personally we desire to express, if it is at all possible, our great love and esteem for you as a principal, as a teacher, and a wise and loving friend of our children, and to sincerely thank you for all the years of devoted service given in this school. To many of us this old build- ing has been the school home of our entire family, and we have always felt that in dts principal and teach- ers our children had always true friends; friends whose intérest in their welfare extended away beyond tha school building and school hours. "We feel sure that it it were pos- sible to prepare a all those who have passed under your care since you first assumed the du- ties of principal of the school, there would be contained in that roll nu- merous names of many who in later years have served with high distine- tion in church and state, and in the public life of our city and country, and as those names crowd in on you may you be long spared to cherish the thought that you were permitted to train them in théir earlier years for the great work they perform. "Assuring you of our continued interest and assistance in your posi- tion as principal of Sydenham school, we ask that you will accept from us the tokén which accompanies this address." On Thursday Miss Lovick was the recipient of an electric lamp fiom her pupils, and a desk sett, in hammered brass, from the members of the staff. : Another very pleasing event took place af Louise school on Friday, when the members of the Louise Home and School Club : presented a umbrella to the Janitor, Mr. Hil.
