Not only did our classes visit these places but similar clusscs in three other counties made the same trip and when the boys and girls met an ambitious cameraman wanted the pic- ture of the best looking man. After a very careful survey of the excepu tionally good- looking boys’ groups Mr. Fred Tulbeck was chosen as the handsomest looking young man in the four counties represented. Are we stuck up? Congratulations Fred! Everybody had a good time which was very gratifying to Mr. Cock- burn. i And still all roads lead to Victoria Square Community Hall and the basement of the church where classes in Agriculture and Home Economics are being held. And is the enthusi- asm of the members keen! Especial- ly was this evident when early Tues- day morning tw0 large busses called at'\ the Hall and stopped at every thumlb signal down the fourth to pick up those desiring to visit the follow- ing- interesting places in Toronto. The lusty singing in the both coaches proved- to Mr. Cockburn and his as- sistants that their claSses looked for- ward to a great day and were in a very happy frame of mind. The boys visited the Goodyear Rubber 00., Stockyards, Canada Packers and the Parliament Buildings. The girls vis- ited the. Parliament Buildings, too, and Eaton’s factory, Loblaws and the New Method Laundry. Mr. F. W. Willows, B.S.A., assist- ant instructor of the class, was un- able to accompany the bunch owing to a very bad cold, much to his re- gret and to the regret of the boys. We are glad that he is now able to resume his work. The Woman’s Association are hold- ing their monthly supper on Monday evening, January 23rd. Supper will be served from 6 to 8 after which a congregational meeting will be held’. Everybody urged to be pre- sent. Quite a number of friends and the immediate family of Mrs. Grace Boynton called last Thursday after- noon, January 12th to wish her many happy returns of the day. It was Mrs. Boynton's eighty-fifth birthday. Her guuday School class of which she has been a faithful member un- til just recently presented her with a beautiful cyclamen plant and a pretty bed jacket. Mr. L. L. Nichols, her S.S. teacher, and Mrs. Nichols, Mr. and Mrs. Rolph Boynton, Mrs. Lizzie Boynton, MiSS Bonnie Robert- son and Miss Annie Avison were privileged to be her guests at tea. During the evening Mr. R. E. Per- kins called to extend his good wishes and consented, at Mrs. Beynton’s re- quest, to play. on the piano some of her favourite hymns which she en< joyed' very much. In spite of Mrs. Boynton’s advanced age she has com- paratively good health and enjoys doing- certain tasks about the house which she has set herself. Her many friends wish far her many more such celebrations. [IONS CA JAN. 26th VOL.
