I THAT an 'active ‘effort should be made to bring the people of the town and the people of the surrounding dis- tricts together from time to time in an effort to promote a better under- ‘standing and promote a community ‘spirit which would result in the ‘mutual benefit of all. On Wednesday, November 2, the football team visited Aurora to play a return game with that school, but in this game they were unsuccessful. Aurora defeating them, the score be. ing, Aurora 1, Richmond Hill 0, as this brings the standing of the two schools to R.H. 2, A. 2, a play-off game is expected ttfbe shortly forth- coming. THAT 3 real effort should be made to induce industries to locate here. I for one would not object to spending a few Shekels in this worthy endeavour. If as people say our taxes are high our best plan is to get people here to help us pay them. Basketball has not been taken up by the boys as yet this term, owing to football and an recently purchased Rugby ball. A Rugby game between forms II, III, IV and I, V, has been arranged for Thursday of this week. 1 Sportsâ€"The girls have‘ formed a basketball league of six teams and games are played every Tuesday and Thursday. Three games have been played so far. Much interest is shown in this sport by the girls. THAT horseshoes and euchre are coming into great popular favor. If they send the champions to ancient Greece with the other Olympic athelt- es, I nominate some of our Richmond Hill stars; if they don’t Win they at least would make a lot of noise and in any case he would advertise the beaut- ies and prowess of Canadian manhood. THAT some day one of the those ignoramuses who will not dim their glaring headlights will get a, bump that will teach them a lesson, and I hope their epiglotis gets such a jerk that it will turn right around and laugh at them. THAT I’ve said enough for this THAT some of our Canadian misâ€" sionaries have been endcavouring to induce the heathens to wear clothes. That’s kinda funny, isn’t it? Socialâ€"Last Saturday afternoon a- bout thirty pupils from the Middle School attended the matinee at the “Princess Theatre" to see Shakespears “Merchant of Venice.” This play is the one being studied by Junior Maâ€" tirculants this year. THAT I’ve said enough for this time, so good night folks. THAT the ratepayers association should meet oftener and show a little concern in public affairs and endeav- our to instill that enthusiasm ’which is so badly needed into the citizens in general. THAT Mayor Thompson of Chicago should be induced £0 come over here and get that cinder out of his-eye. His range of vision is becoming alâ€" most as wraped as hs mentality. THAT Richmond Hill citizens should be more loyal to their business men and that in turn the business men should be more loyal to the town and more loyal to themselves by pepping up business. THAT if there is anything needed in this community today, it is VISION. It is better to ship your course on the distant horizan than on the end of your nose. THAT Richmond Hill’s worst enem- ies are some of its own citizens who have a very distorted and warped a- spect on life in general. THAT there are men and women who have that necessary ability do judiciously develop the town if the people would put them at the head of affairs. THAT Richmond Hill has all the natural advantages of a real town. We certainly have the latest resources and all we need is the brains and abil- ity to develop them. THAT Richmond Hill is going to have one of the finest stretches of pavement between Toronto and Coch- rane. THAT some of our stores would likewise do more business and said business could be done with less em- barrasment if some of the “bummers were canned.” Richmond Hill High School News THAT the radial station is a place for passengers for the radial cars, not a bummers roost.
