Simcoe
High School
The High School closed on
Tuesday. The closing exercises were in charge of the Literary
Society and consisted of a debate, a piano solo, reading and The
Mirror, the school paper. This number was one of the best ever
read before the society.
The chairman of the Board
of Education, H. P. Innes, K.C., and Trustees W. E. Kelly and D.
F. Aiken, were visitors and each gave a short, practical address
to the pupils, and assisted in the presentation of graduation
diplomas. The recipients of these diplomas were as follows:

At the conclusion of his
speech, the chairman announced that the school would close on
Tuesday and not open until Tuesday, 4 Jan 1921. Needless to say
this announcement was received with rapturous applause.
