C Fetterly, retiring after 14 years as principal of the school and 40 years in the pro- fession At an assembly held to honor teachers leaving the staff and to present bars and school letters earned during the year, the pu- pils surprised Mr. Fetterly with a presentation of two gifts and an address expressing gratitude for his long service to the school, delivered on behalf of all the students by Phillip Kehoe, a Grade VII pupil. The text of the address follows: "Mr. Fetterly, I am very proud and happy to express on behalf of all the pupils in Ritson our deepest appreciation for your years of devoted service as our nrincipal. I am a little sad, too, as are many others in Ritson, that in Seotember the familiar face of Mr. Fetterly, to whom we could always take our small troubles, will be missing. You have watched some of us grow from very small to quite large and your advice has always help- ed us. "On behalf of all the girls and boys in Ritson, we would like you o accept these gifts and may you have many happy years of well-earned retirement. Each time you look at these gifts, I hope you will remember the good things about us and we hope you will forgive us for the worries we may have caused you." The gifts which the children presented to Mr. Fetterly were a table lamp and an oil painting of a snow scene by E. Jaliera. A plaque on the painting was' en- graved, "Presented to J. C. Fet- terly from the boys and girls of Ritson School, June 17, 1960". Teachers leaving the staff of Ritson School this year are Miss Alice Harston, retiring; Miss Margaret Kerr, to the new senior school on Wilson Rd.; Lloyd Gaskin to Westmount School; Lawrence Haisell, to become Principal of Queen Elizabeth School and Miss Muriel Veale, to Albert Street School.

This represents a decrease of 71 per cent from the 2,891,000 pounds reported for the first quarter of 1959.
