Stratford, Ontario COLLEGIAN, 1937. Alice Ruth Hill Elizabeth Dempsey Senior Literary Sociezjf Tom Rust 1 0- Q . - .. 1, ... Darling March 4, 1937 For the last week I have been vainly try- ing to think of an original idea for writing up an article for our annual Collegian, which is being published sometime before Easter. I haven't been very successful and so I decided to write to you, to see if you could give me some help. During 1936-37 the Collegiate played host to several very important guests and as the Special Reporter, it is my duty to write an account of these visits. Did you have Lord and Lady Tweedsmuir at your school last year? We did. They came on May 28. Of course there was quite a number of people with them, such as Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Red- fern, CMr. Redfern is the Governor's secre- taryl and Captain P. J. S. Boyle, aide-de-camp. All our teachers were grouped informally in the Assembly Hall. Mr. Sprung, our principal, and Colonel Trow, the chairman of the Board of Education, accompanied their Excellencies and the teachers were presented one by one. Lord Tweedsmuir spoke to the pupils outside, after Lady Tweedsmuir was presented with a copy of the last edition of the Colleg- ian. This Collegian was bound in white sheep- skin, lettered with gold, so, as you can imagine, it really looked very smart. I was chosen to present this copy and could not get outside in time to hear Lord Tweedsmuir speak. How- ever, I heard all the pupils applauding with great enthusiasm and gathered from that, that he had declared the rest of the day a holiday. While their Excellencies continued their tour around Stratford, quite a number of us went down to the station to see their special train. We were fortunate enough to be taken Dear Margaret :- all through it. It is difficult to describe on paper but it certainly was lovely. There was a narrow corridor all along one side and the tiny rooms branched off from it. Most of the bedrooms had brightly coloured chintz drapes. The beds were like bunks, being built into the wall. In the front of this coach there was an observation car. Books and papers were strewn about giving the place a cosy appear- ance. The second coach held the dining-room, kitchen, engineer's room and servants' quart- ers. The little dining-room had orange chintz curtains and the furniture was lacquered green. We had to make it a very hurried visit as their Excellencies were expected shortly for dinner. Our other distinguished guests were Hon- ourable Dr. Herbert A. Bruce and Mrs. Bruce. Dr. Bruce and his wife came to open the new X-ray wing in the Hospital on January 25, 1937. As he had a little time in the morning, he came up to the school. He is a fine look- ing, white-haired gentleman and won the heart of every student with his short address. He told us of the horrors of war but explained how it had its bright side too. It was there he had met his charming wife. She was then serving in France as a V. A. D. He also said that he had asked his seventeen-year-old son what he should say to us and his advice had been to give us a half-holiday. He did this and though we thought we were not going to get it, sure enough when we went to school in the afternoon, we were sent home. Well, my dear, I've told you all that my article is to embody. If you have any original ideas for a good set up please let me know at once because the book is to be printed SITOFUY- Yours sincerely, ELIZABETH MCTAVISH. Page Forty-three
