ANY LTD. A most enjoyable Centennial program was presented Friday afternoon in the Big Gym when Grades 1 to 6 of the Magrath Elementary School entertained aJLarge crowd of parents and friends. Following the welcome by Principal Loran Nelson and Vice-principal Jay Hamilton, the children portrayed Canada's 100 years of history in Jferches, Dances, Verses and Songs. Most interesting was the art work entirely done by the children depicting important centres in Canada. Highlight of the program was a small railway which had been built on the school’s snow plow and was complete with smoke from smoke stack, engine and whistle sound effects. The prggram included Grade 1 performing Trumpeters and Fan Fare, Centennial Star Iferch and singing "We are Canadians. Gi*ade 2 - Choral Reading "Magrath, the Community We Lovej Vocal Chorus, "Canada Is My Home", and danced "The Virginia Reel". Grade 3s Indian Derge, Chick­en Dance, Lullaby Song "Eskimo Baby".

Choruses, vocal solos, ballet dances, square dance, poems, and dialogues were given by the students. Each scene had a special narration. Truly a fine performance by the students and much credit due the teachers. Miss Joan Christensen and Miss Gloria Harris were musical accompanist. ' Funeral service for the late Mrs. Maurine Tanner was held in the Magrath LDS Chapel Thursday afternoon, May 24th with President Tom Karren presiding and Elder Blair Sabey con­ducting. Prior to the service friends met with the family in the Relief Society Room. The family prayer was offered by Elder Merlin Rich. Afton Keeler presided at the organ for the prelude. Opening Hymn "Sister Thou Wast Mild and Lovely" was sung by the Singing Mothers, followed by the invocation by Elder Lewis Stevenson. Bishop Mirk Dahl gave the biography of Mrs. Tanner. An instrumental quartet - Bishop Nyal and Freda Fletcher, Mrs. Bferjorie Balderson and Mrs, Maud Ririe played "lay Jfy- Head Beneath the Rose", Speaker for the serv­ice was Elder Grant Wheeler with closing remarks by Elder Blair Sabey. Closing hymn by the Singing Mothers "Peace I Leave With Thee" and Elder Steele Brewerton offered the benedic­tion. The many beautiful floral tributes were carried under the direction of the Relief Society. Pallbearers were Ross Rich, Randy Rich, Burke Hamilton, Robert Tanner, Barry Nielsen, Donald Hamilton, David Tanner and Ron Nielsen. Interment took place in the Ifegrath cemet­ery. Dedicatory prayer was by Elder E. P. Tanner. A TRIBUTE TO MAURINE TANNER "True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare", I am sure all of us at some time or other has heard this quotation. Not until Monday, when I heard of the tragic accident and death of my wonderful friend lifeurine Tanner did I realize the full value of that line. She was a jewel, she was precious and she was so rare. When I was first married and came to this locality from Victoria, B.C. ny homesickness was almost unbearable. Maurine befriended me. A few years later when I was pregnant and in and out of bed or hospital continually trying to carry these children, Maurine was there doing little things, running errands or cleaning house for me. Whenever I needed a friend just to talk to or confide in, Maurine was there. And when it was time for fun and laughter, doing crazy skits and diol— ogues like the utterly goofy ones we used to do of "Homer and Gethro", Maurine always took part. What this world needs is more Maurine Tanners. The Lord said "Love thy neighbour", and this she did continually. If we had more Ifeurines in the world there would be no need for the peace keeping forces which seem to continually have to step in to prevent uprisings and wars between people - these people whom God says are all our brothers and sisters. Yes, Sister Maurine, "thou wast mild and lovely, gentle as the summer breeze. Pleasant as the air of evening when it floats among the trees". If ever a tribute was earned by a neighbour and friend, Maurine Tanner earned it. . Alice Stevenson. Thirty one pupils of Mrs. Miry Yvonne Hohm performed at a Speech Arts Recital in the Magrath United Church Saturday evening.
