Instead of the usual concert to end the school year, Aliss Laurenson, the local teacher, arranged a pleasant Christmas party for the children. The AlcKelvie Hall on Friday evening presented a gay scene when the pupils arrived in their colourful fancy frocks. Air. AI. Gould again presented the prizes, congratulating the winners of the special prizes and remarkmg how fortunate the Tangimoana schoolchildren were, since each child on the roll received a prize every year. The following special prizes were awarded:—Frank Spry Air. Gould's special prize for sport; Alargaret Young, writing; Valma Carkeek, progress; Grace Young, sewing; Duncan Young, writing; Harold Groucott and Don Scott drawing. The prize for the best miniature garden, encouraged by Airs B C. Waldegrave, was awarded to Irene Spry, while Eric Pine won the prize for his model farm. Both prizes were donated by Airs. Waldegrave and an anonymous donor sent along a special prize to Bob \ O V. ng lo , r m anliness.
