R. BENTLEY OPTOMETRIST HIGH SCHOOL NOTES by Bruce R. Gerrow Last Monday afternoon the High School choir chartered two of Mr. F DeNure's buses and travelled to To- ronto, We arrived at Eaton's Park- ing lot at about 7.16 and after check- ing our coats, we proceeded to tune-up After the tune-up we went upstairs and found our reserved section, sat down and waited patiently for our class to be called. Oakwood choir was called up to sing first, then Vaughan Road, and finally Port Perry. There was a brief delay while the judges were comparing notes.' This did not ease the suspense that was rapidly mounting in each contestant's mind. Finally Mr. Spouce the adjudi- cator came forward and after picking each choir apart with criticism he placed the class as follows: Oakwood 1st; Vaughan Road 2nd; Port Perry 3rd. Even though we did not win, we feel satisfied that we did our best. After a few hours in Toronto we climbed into our buses, the lights were turned off and a very tired group of young people slept most of the way home. I think that all the students appre- ciate the fact that our School Board assisted with the cost of the buses. ------ WOMAN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY UNITED CHURCH Miss Laura Hambly, a retired mis- at the Woman's Missionary Society, ' on Tuesday afternoon of last week. Miss Hambly went from this' church and town over forty years ago to be an Evangelistic Missionary and teacher. During her years in China she saw old customs, established for centuries, for- saken as a result of Christian teach- ing. Especially was this true of "foot binding" which was introduced by the Manchu government over: three hun- dred years ago. Foot binding is practically non-existant today in China. Those who have benefitted most by Christian teaching are the women and girls. Through attendance at boarding schools and training to be nurses in Medical Missionary hospitals the girls of China can take their place side by side with girls in any Christion country. This elevation of woman kind is helping to make China one of the foremost nations of the world. to- day. on Miss Hambly was introduced by clusion of the address Mrs. Smith, on behalf of the Society, thanked Miss Hambly.
