Claud Motion (Chairman of the Franklin County Council) Mr Motion said it was very gratifying to note that the number of names represented more than 10 per cent of the total roll number. The young men of the district had nobly responded to duty's call. The headmaster was then called on to distribute souvenir books to all children present He took the opportunity of expressing his appreciation of the work of the Bchool Committee. It had always been his good fortune to work with a first-class committee, but never had he had harder workers than the present committee. Tbis part of the proceedings ended with the National Anthem.

In the evening a fio9 fireworks display was given, of which perhaps the unrehearsed effect created the great sensation The time-honoured dance concluded a most successful gathering.
