High School Notes
By Earl E. Geisert

The musical which was to be held
last Tuesday had to be postponed
one week on account of the weather.
Dwight Manning, high school
student is in the hospital at Ash
land. He has been there three days
and is going to have his right eye
treated, Some of his friands who
have been over to see him bring
back the news tbatit is impossible
for him to see with the affected eye.
He is just as happy as ever and we
all hope that he will pull through
all right.
Oh Me
Oh, how that day did await
used the very best of bait.
NV dear old heart was always
light
Because | had my lessons right
But, when at last that day did
come
found my card was 'ou the bum
thought that on that welcome
day
| would receive dainty A
Or at least I'd get B..
Did ] deserve that loathsome
mark
When thought that I was a
shark?
There's something wrong I'll
strike the gong
And place myself where I belong
I'll try TO be like all Those. girls

AN APPRECIATION OF
BUSINESS RECEIVED

Having lived eight years in On
tario, and during all that time en-
joyed TO a degree which we appreciate
the business patronage of its people.
we feel that We cannot leave the city
without expressing our thanks to our
customers and friends. We leave
now not because we are searching for
better place in which 10 live. for
there is none such. We are leaving
because the war conditions makes It
advisable TO do so. When the war is
over. and the Kaiser has been prop
erly cared for we will be back.
In the meantime we are going fish
ing. We will rest for a time before
taking up work that will relieve an
other man for service with the flag.
There are number OF accounts still
due US We will leave a list of these
at the First National Bank. not for
collection in the usual manner but
merely for the convenience of those
who owe us. II you are one of these
you can leave payments there and the
officials of the bank will issue re-
ceipt
With many thanks for the consid-
GRAFTON shown us here In Ontario
and sincerely hoping that the time
will be short before we return. we are
Yours sincerely,
