This served a dual purpose-to honour Dr. Martyn, our former principal and Mrs. Martyn, and to welcome Dr. and Mrs. Bowers of Ottawa. After the dinner we were invited to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Manning. During the evening Dr. Martyn was presented with a lounging chair and Mrs. Martyn with a pendant. Mr. Manning read the address and Mr. Beacom and Miss Cottle made the presentations. Dr. Martyn thanked all for their kindness to them and expressed the pleasure he had experienced in his work at the school. Mr. Biehl and Miss Johnston made short addresses of welcome to Dr. and Mrs. Bowers. The latter presented Mrs. Bowers with a bouquet. Dr. and Mrs. Bowers signified their high appreciation of the cordiality of the staff. After several games had been played Mrs. Manning served delicious refresh- ments. Many students gathered for the Reunion Banquet on February the third to honour Dr. Martyn. Through the generous contributions of some former masters and graduates of the school, a presentation was made to Dr. Martyn of an oil painting, a cabinet containing silver flat ware and a cheque, and to Mrs. Martyn, a bouquet. Both were pleased and touched by these tokens and made gracious responses. Mr. H. Elborn, principal of Toronto Normal School, made an ideal chairman. Dr. J. D. Campbell represented the Department. Short speeches were made by Dr. Bowers, Mr. Carson Allen, Miss Bernice Schneider, Miss Violet Chowen, Mr. Gordon Sleightholm and Mr. William Nelson. Miss Illa Craig contributed a solo. Miss Jean Stewart. representing the Alumni, made the presentation speech and voiced the congratulations of many unable to be present. A. J. J.
