North Tryon Rink

One night in November a party of four

Were discussing a problem in Heath Chishohn’s store. Concerning the trouble and hardships, I think,

Of getting their families to Wood Brothers’ rink.

Says Heath, “Boys, listen, for I’ve got a scheme And a rink of our own can be more than a dream.

For we’ll form a company and build a link That will make Wood Brothers sit up and think.

For the Wood Brothers rink is a mile down the road, And for money to build one, I’ll carry the load.” Archie Thomson spoke up, “ ’Tis a wonderful plan And as secretary-treasurer, I’ll do what I can.”

Alfred Cairns then added “I’ll join it you bet

And for taking me on you will never regret.” Says Alfred Keough, “I’ll join, and the company won’t fail.

We’ll drink to its health with dry ginger ale.”
