s Our 1890 i Dedication To Bowmanville High School, its students, teachers, board members through the years, and their influence in the life of this community and other areas. Appreciation Your historical committee wishes to thank those of you who contributed so much of the material contained in this section. Without your help our efforts would have lacked both body and colour. We also wish to apologize for our inability to include every memory, every pic- ture, provided to us. We have been thrilled by the quantity of material supplied and distressed by the exigencies of time and space which have forced us to make decisions that may disappoint many of you. If our dates do not agree with your memories, it is because your memories of- ten did not agree with each other. This is however YOUR history fellow B.H.S. ers, so if important events,--to you-- have been omitted, perhaps it may be because you failed to supply the story.

The Durham News CGale Bros. Editors and Prop'rsJ dated December 15, 1890, using the headline opposite, began its account with the arrival of dignitories by train and the morning activities, which included a visit to the newly opened Central Public School, continued with the opening proper in the afternoon, a banquet at the Bennett House, and a large evening meeting in the Town Hall. The Minister of Education, Hon. G.W. Ross and Hon. Edward Blake, M.P. for West Durham, both, present and vocal, may account for the interest shown by Toronto papers. The following are exerpts from these accounts. Ak M179 1 flux 4 ll 1 1 vu y f 'S f
