It was in the form of an old boys and girls reâ€"union of the Young People’s Society, which proved to be interest- ing as well as humorous. This was followed by a contest on the Books of the Bible. A piano solo was ably ren- dered by Irene Routley. After the program. lunch was served and a soci- a1 half-hour spent. The meeting next Monday evening will be in the charge of the Executive. A good program is being prepared including an oldâ€"fash- ioned spellingâ€"match. We are look- ing forward for large attendance. Everybody welcome. Sure and a little thing like eight foot snow drifts and filled roads didn’t stop the old crowd from taking in the weekly dance at the Summit on Wed- nesday night. Somehow Billy Macâ€" Donald with his celebrated three have a sort of hypmotism and seem to be -able to drag the crowd in from every ;nook and cranny in the country. seems as if the boys are out to give their [girls a good time this winter, for a large number of them start off the evening with a skate, and no' matter whether in the Hill, Aurora or New- market always show up at The Sum- ‘ mit to cap off the evening with a jolly wild time of square and round dances. New faces show up in the old gang every week, but they are new for only the first time, for after that they aut- omatically become a permanent week- ly fixture and What better combination do the boys want than a keen dance, lots of pretty girls and a general grand timeâ€"they’re all found at the Summit.
