VanCamp, PUBLIC SCHOOL RE-MODELLED A great crowd attended the re- opening of the improved Public School at Prince Albert last Thursday even- ing. The event was celebrated by a fowl supper, and a public meeting, both of which drew many friends of the school to attend; both the base- ment of the church and the school being crowded to capacity. The ladies of the community deserve praise for the excellent supper provided. Mr. John Jeffrey presided at the public meeting, at which the Sunday School Orchestra of Port Perry United Church gave many pleasing numbers, and' My. C. Farrow gave some humorous vocal selections. Rev. Jas. Miller, of Toronto, a former teacher at Prince Albert, was the principal speaker. He gave a vivid and humorous picture of the days when he taught the youngsters of that community, and recalled many incidents in the conduct of individual pupils which were not so dignified as the conduct of those pupils who have since grown up and learned to re- strain themselves from stealing the teacher's strap, playing -'"hookey" or putting corked bottles of water on a hot stove to see how fast and far the cork and water would fly when the heat had done its bolling work. Rev. "Jim" Miller is a regular storehouse of such memories and has kept track of former Prince Albert students in a way which shows a deep human interest in his fellow men--and the girls of by-gone days. He must have spoken for nearly an hour, but nobody grew tired. The picture was a picture of home drawn with home-like sim- plicity. The speech fitted the occasion admirably. When Mr, Miller was teaching school his assistant was Miss Mar- garet Bullen, now of St. Catharines. Herewith is a message sent by Miss Bullen to the pcople of the Prince Albert community. To the Board of Management and friends of Prince Albert School-- I regret very much that I cannot accept your very kind invitation to attend the re-opening of your im- proved school building. I wish to extend my heartiest cor. gratulations, and best wishes for the future success of the School. I feel sure that it would give me a great thrill to meet my former pupils, many of whom will, doubtless, be present, and I trust that all have made a success of life in their chosen lines or work, and that the world is better for their having lived in it. May I suggest to the scholars who are now attending the school that they take as their motto "Push". You, no doubt, have heard the story of a firm that advertised for a young office boy, and had a great many applicants. The '14th boy to be shown into the Manager's room for an interview was asked why he thought the position should be given to him, and he answered "Sir, because my motto is the same as your own." This rather puzzled the Manager, and he said "How do you know what my motto is?" The boy answered "I saw it on your door as I came in--PUSH." Needless to say, the hoy got the position, Again congratulating you, I roma, Sincerely yours, Margaret Bullen. St. Catharines, Ontario,' Sept. 14th, 1934, Several other speakers were called upon to speak, including Mrs. Louis Corrin, of Oshawa, (a former teacher, 'then Miss Effie Smith); Mr. Grant Christie, Warden of Ontario County; Mr. W. Parrott, chairman of the County Educational Committee; Mr. Croskery, Omtario County Agricul- tural Representative; Inspector R. A. Hutcheson; and S. Farmer, Editor of the Port Perry Star. All these speakers expressed their pleasure and appreciation regarding the work of the trustees in the im- provements which had been made in the school. The building has been moved: back from thé street, has a good basement, and is now properly heated, lighted and ventilated. A pleasing feature of the interior decor- ation is the scenic border painted by Mr, Morrison, of Prince Albert. This work will be a source of pleasure to (continued on page five) the pupils and teacher. PRINCE ALBERT SCHOOL RE-OPENED Miss Laird, who is the teacher of the school received many words of commendation for her work, and was called upon to speak. She did so briefly, and thanked the committee for 'the improvements which had been made to the school. Rev. Mr. Miller also vead some poems by Ethel May Hall, a daughter of a former minister at Prince Albert. TO THE OLD GIRLS AND BOYS OF '90-'93, PRINCE ALBERT, ONT. Dear Comrades of the long ago, We greet you here, to-day, With pleasure, tempered oft, I know, With sadness, as we say The words of cheer and kindliness That come from hearts sincere -- i Yet there is a great lonliness -- For those that are not here. For childhood's days are far away : And as we look around, We miss some playmates that we loved Upon this old playground. Yes, one by one they slipped away From out the game of life-- (We know not when our time may come To meet the last, brief strife.) But well they played the game of life That this old schoolhouse taught : They knew the rules, and kept them, too, ---As slaves they were net bought. Their finer traits we will extol; Their failures will forget Old Time has placed a halo round The faults we would regret. _ 'Some Oldtimers are living now Within a foreign land; Some on wide prairies make their homes ; And some on ocean's strand. To these we send our greetings, fond, Upon this festal day For, though we miss them very much, They wish us to be gay. Proud are we of the ones who made An honoured place "in fife: } Thrice proud of those who vanquished wrong Wherever it was rife. Though prize in Sports or prize in Art That student we endow, - We place on each a laurel wreath, As on a Conquerar's brow. Dear Comrades of the vanished years, We bring you greetings, true: May God's rich Blessing ever be The Greatest Gift, to you. --kF1urr May Haun 104 King St, Weston, * Toronto 15, Ontario, September 20, 1034. TO LULU (Written after the death of her sister) A playful breeze just touched my cheek: Lightly, softly, touched it. It cooled the fevered heat within, Like perfumed uintment, rare. I put my hand up to my cheek-- And felt your touch was there. Your Spirit as a wind came near: Swiftly, lightly, touched me. It softly passed across my face, Like loving fingers, white, that stray. Now I shall hold the wind more dear, _ Because the breeze was you to-day. = - --ETHeEL MAY Harn (Otchibwe) --_----e PORT PERRY FAIR NOTES The exhibit made by Fred Bown at the Port Perry Fair was another evi- dence of his constructive skill. This year he showed a miniature sailing yacht, excellently proportioned, and we understand quite capable of sail- ing under proper conditions.
