The Chronicle Opinion that the No. 9 School Section Reunion in Glenelg would go over “big” was sustained last Monday afternoon when what is estim- ated as a crowd of close to 1,000 spent the alternoon on the old school grounds, shaking hands and viewing faces they had not seen in some in- stances for more than forty years, and of rain in the middle of the iestivities, while it damped the clothing of the celebrants, did not succeed in slowing up the enthusiasm that prevailed throughout the whole meeting. While impossible to run the programme ac- cording to schedule, and the majority of the outside sports had to be called off. the crowd hied itself to the cars along the roadside, or crowded into the school when the deluge commenced, only to emerge when it was over and proceed with the programme as though no interruption had taken place. Mr. William Weir, a former reeve of the township, was the chairman, and the programme was opened by Miss Anderson and scholars mounting the platform and singing the Maple Leaf. Mr. John McGirr gave the address of welcome. and it was a genuine welcome "old-timers" and local residents re- tha'ed to join with the section and cele- mate the 67th anniversary of the open- in: of the section. The address of wel- tmne was replied to by Rev. T. H.

The past'67 lt'cu “cu on» years have dealt kindly with Miss Loa'ther. who is now Mrs. Bradley of Kenilworth. and she was called to the platform where in a short address she recalled many of the events of the past. whool. and of the early pupils who at- tended. With her on the platform were some of these first pupils: William and Walter Nichol of Glenelg, Abraham :9 Sharpe of Durham. Some of the “girls” were also present, Mrs. R. Edge of Durham. Mrs. James Wilson of Glenelg, and Mrs. W. Gillies and Mrs. Hannah of Mount Forest. It was a happy line-up of “the kids of ’63’ now of ma- Lure years. but probably just as happy ' as back in those distant days when they packed their slates and book to the log 7 school on the second concession. A At the conclusion of her short ad- dress. Mrs. Bradley was presented with a beautiful bouquet by two of her former pupils. Mrs. Edge and Mrs. Wil- son.

In No. 9 school is a list of 25 on the roll of honor who served their country overseas. Of these five made the supreme sacrifice. This list of names was placed on the plat- form.
