Souster occupied the chair and moved a vote of thanks to the superintendent, Mr G. Hill, and to the teachers for the able which they had carried out their duties during the year just closed The motion was carried by acclamation. The Rev. Suckling gave a short address and also two recitations. The following children took part in the programme, viz. : Musical items by Violet and Margery Civil, Doris. Avery, Myrtle Neal; recitations by Doris Avery. Jean and Grace Milroy, E. Rogers, Alice Murray, Naomi Hill, Jack Milroy, Allan Rogers, George Murray; and a trio by Misses Allan, Neal and Avery.
