As is wellknown, the local school excelled itself on the field of sport this year, and set a record for the Dominion. It is particularly pleasing to note now that the proficiency results are out that the school has attained a ,97 percentage of passes. Mr F. A. Mason (headmaster) and teaching staff are to be congratulated on the scholars’ fine performance this year. -
