Two years ago, Ken Thompson chose himself a wife “If I didn’t have to work so hard to keep her

It wouldn’t be too bad a life”.

But some of those days

We’d like to see

A new one for the family tree.

Now, Edwin, our last to speak about Drives a truck you know,

To Montreal and dear knows where He’s bouncing too and fro.

He’s gone at least for two or three days

The noise of that big crate. Goes down the road, His kids call out

“Here’s Dad, for Heaven’s Sake”.

Before closing the evening activities, There’s one thing I’d like to say “The best thing of all is our W.I. Doing things this way.”

“Our Institute Song”

(tune This Land is your land) Composed and sung by Mrs. Astrid Johnson at 40th W.I. Anniversary, May 12, 1970. Chorus We are the ladies from Margate Institute

We hold our meeting once a month and when we have it, we all enjoy it because Institutes are made for fun.

Now in Our Institute, we have nineteen members They range in age from young to old,

One of our oldest members is Elsie Howard

For all she’s done, she’s worth her weight in gold.

Then let us also honour Marion Mayhew

We’re making her a new Life Member, too

I hope that all of the other ladies

Keep coming till they’re made Life-Members, too

Mary, chairs our meetings, ’cause she’s our President She keeps our meetings all going right,

And Mamie’s Secretary, and Violet’s treasurer They’re efficient and they never have a fight.

There’s also Evelyn, Enid, Elva, Elayne, And Eunice, Ruby, Shirley and Isabelle, Sadie, Betty Jean and Ruth, Georgina, and last of all there’s me.
