Any- way Harry's plan only partially suc- ceeded but he had the satisfaction of knowing that his well-known philan- thropic friend had a most uncomfort- able moment or two at least. The plan was this: Harry walks into the dogs' casing joint run by his friend and invites him to have a drink out of an alleged six ouncer. Just as he was about to pour the drinks in walks two special officers, who pro- ceeded to seize the evidence and ar- rest Watson, advising McHwen that they would also lay a charge against him. All went well until McHwen happened to think that he had seen one of the "officers" 'before and that time he was an electric traveller. Seeing that it was April lst anyway he thought the combination was too much and ceased to worry, much to Harry's disgust. "I'll get him yet," says Harry, so maybe there'll be an- other story.

Hidt, chairman of the Building Committee, in his supervision of the building. very board, Likewise he paid a | fine tribute to Principal Mayberry and _ members of the staff, as well as to the architect and builder. Dr, Hidt, speaking at the afternoon meeting, expressed the pride he felt in seeing the completion of the work undertaken last year. "During my 30 years service in municipal affairs," he said, "I do not think there is any- thing that I am quite so proud of as this school just finished." He. re- viewed briefly what has already been accomplished and gave a comprehen- sive description of the changes made in the modernizing of the Collegiate. Speaking of the needs of education to- day, Dr. Hidt stated that both the aca "aétale and commercial courses NOW being taught in Stratfrod are equal to any in the province. Hon. J. 'D. Monteith, provincial treasurer, who introduced the Hon. John S. Martin paid eloquent tribute to the splendid work of Principal May- berry, who was principal of the school when he entered it.. He compliment- ed the board for the manner in which it solved the school problem in Strat- ford in the building of such a substan- tial well-equipped seat of learning. Speaking in a reminiscent mood at meeting Mr. C. A. May- berry, dean of all principals in On- tario spoke of the developments in education throughout the province in recent years. The reason he attribut- ed to the fact that parents have come to realize that a young boy or girl who goes out into the world without academic education is handicapped for life. He referred very highly to his long and satisfactory association with the various school boards. the evening THE MIRROR Historical Sketch of The Collegiate NTIL 1853 the only school in which wag then the Village of : Stratford occupied the site of the present Public Library. The first Grammar School class met in 1853 in the Grand Jury Room of the old Court House, under the principalship of Rey. Thomas Russell. This class was discontinued shortly afterwards but in January, 1855, it reassembled with C. J. Macgregor, M.A., of To- ronto University as Principal. In 1856 a Grammar School was built on Norman Street and there Mr. Macgregor continued to teach for more than twenty years. In 1878 the erection of a new High School was begun. The build- ing was completed by the following summer and was formally opened by Egerton Ryerson on October 30th, 1879. In 1883 Mr. McBride be- came principal and the school became a Collegiate Institute. Mr. Me. Bride was succeeded in 1899 by Mr. F. W. Merchant, now Superin- tendent of Technical and \ndustrial Education in Ontario. Mr. Mer- chant was followed in 1890 hy Mr. C. A. Mayberry, B.A., LL.B., who has been the head of the school for the past thirty-seven. years. Under Mr. Mayberry's guidance, the school increased in numbers and in reputation and it became necessary to add a large wing to the Western end of the school. This Wing, with an entirely new Depart- ment of Manual Training and Household Science, was expected to meet the requirements of the city for years to come. By 1920, the enlarged school was filled to overflowing and since that time the school has enjoyed the reputation of being the most over-crowded in the province. Finally it was decided to remodel the older part of the building and to build a large new addition on the eastern end on the site of the building occupied by the Manual Training and Household Science Departments. The corner-stone of the néw school was laid on October 18th, 1926 by Dr. Monteith, member of the On- tario Legislature, and now Provincial Treasurer, who is an old S. C. I. boy. The new school is to be opened on April 6th, by the Minister of Agriculture, Hon. John S, Martin. - It may be of interest to our ex-students to learn something of the alterations in the school. The old part of the school to which they were accustomed has become greatly improved. Large modern win- dows and skylights admit plenty of light to halls and classrooms which were formerly very dark. The terrazzo flooring in the halls and the new stairways are notable improvenients also. Three new class- rooms have been gained, one from the old offices and two from the Space occupied by stairs and cloak-rooms. On the main floor of the new wing are the principal's offices, three new class-rooms, a large library and a fine assembly hall with stage and dressing-rooms. On the lower floon are the Manual Train- ing and Household Science Departments, two lunch rooms and a cafeteria, a gymnasium ninety feet long and forty-five wide, and show- er-rooms for boys and for girls. On the upper floor are the teachers' reoms and six class rooms, all of which are being used by the Com- mercial Department. The Building Committee, under the' Chairman- ship of Dr. Hidt deserves much credit for these admirable improv 3- ments. ¢ 8 CHRYSLER Only run a short time Holliday- 'What Difference | Does It Make ul€i how particular you are otherwise if OUPE ALMOST NEW you are not quite sure of the pur- ity of the milk supply ?

So I am giving the people of Stratford an op- portunity to patronize a shop which is the most sanitary, and up-to-the-minute possible to appoint. For the-last month I have had experts working on plans for this new and up-to-date shop. Everything possible has been done to ensure the utmost cleanliness for our patrons. Five chairs--Each section has its separate sterilizer, so that shears, razors, brushes and combs are absolutely steril- ized after using. There has been installed separate lavatory basins for each chair, with separate shampoo attachments, which will insure cleanliness, thoroughness, and promptness. Special care and attention will be given to ladies' and children's work. Thanking the public for the patronage it has given: us in the past, we will endeavor to give still better service.
