The London Old 'Boys Association .. I'LL STILL STAY TO HAVE TMEE STILL FORGET, FORGETTING THERE IS ANY OTHER HOME BUT THIS." ,....10 EGINNING in a small way, the growth of what is now known all over Canada and the United States as the , 'LONDON OLD BOYS," has been phenomenal. When a few of London's former residents if» if» if» formed the first Association in Toronto, in I iI» I if» I ~1if»1if» - 1897, little did they think to what proportions I if» I f I the movement would grow in the short space if» I iI» I if» if» if» ~ of three years. The idea of forming London lilil ili!ili Old Boys Clubs in the various places to if»if»if»if»if» if»if»if»if»rliJif»if» which our former citizens have removeq, is one that has been quickly appreciated and acted upon in many of the large centres of population, as well as in the smaller cities and towns. The objects to be attained in renewing old acquaintances, and forming new ones, with those who hold a common interest and are bound by mutual ties to the old "Forest City," and of returning once a year to visit former scenes and friends, and to spend a few days with the "Old Folks at Home," easily recommend themselves to those whQ, although .. 3 .. drawn by varying circumstances into other and different environments, still retain a warm affection for the home of their youth. The pioneer branch of the Association formed in Toronto in 1897 has since been followed by the following: - Detroit, Chicago, Hamilton, Cleveland, Toledo, Sarnia, Ottawa, Woodstock, St. Thomas, Brantford, and other places, and it is expected that the "International London Old Boys Association" which was inaugurated last year, and which is an amalgamation of the several local associations, will at the Reunion this year receive a very large addition to its membership. While it is a source of pleasure to the Old Boys to come home, to no one does their visit give more pleasure than to the citizens of London. Those of London's children who have remained at home, who have been and are to-day assisting in that development of our City which is the pride and delight of both young and old, bid our guests a hearty welcome-Welcome Home. London is your's so long as you choose to remain, and we cordially wish you to believe that whatever pleasure or gratification you may derive from your visit your return home is deeply appreciated by the City of London, the hospitality for which our beautiful city is so famous is freely and unreservedly your's, and the local committee and citizens trust that the London Old Boys Reunion of 1900 may be such as will long be treasured among the pleasantest recollections of both guests and hosts . 4 ..
