Dancing and games, together with songs by Miss Thompson (Middlemarch) and Mr Leishman (Dunback) contributed to the succcess of the evening. After supper Mr S. AVilkiusou, on behalf of the School Committee, called on Miss Bloxham to receive a travelling rug as a slight token of their esteem, saying in the course of his speech that it was due entirely to her successful efforts in school concert work that the school finances were in such a happy state.
