The whole of the programme was enthusiastically received by the audience, and encores were demanded. Much credit is due to the headmaster, Mr. H. Jory, and his assistant, Miss Stone, for their careful selection and preparation of the various items, the programme going with a swingthrough out. Mr. W. Randell ably acted as accompanist to all musical items ,as well as suppling the music for dancing, which followed the closing* item of the concert.
