Indoors or out-of-doors, his Interest is always with the pupils, m whose life a headmaster can play a considerable part. Seeking to do more, he has been a very live treasurer to the Masterton Competitions Society 'for a number of years and In that capacity soon proved himself to be an important wheel of the organization's machinery. H.M. likes congenial and convivial company, like a healthy human, and wherever "he is there is fun.

In the evenings he was Chief Savage and when the black shadows crept together to the kainga for their korero, Harry — like the little stage genie In pink tights — roared forth the signal. And 10, it was like unto Bedlam.

Now he has shifted his domicile and Lower Hutt, Wellington, knows him for a cheery soul.
