Mr. Carter then, with the aid of the Sunday School boys, entertained the gathering with various tricks a,nd experiments in which he showed much ingenuity and caused much amusement. Recitations hy Miss Valeri Holden. Master Albert Oakes, and M-iss Eva Stanford followed. A short and clever dialogue was ably given by Misses Franees Clay and Dorothy Holden. "The Faery Ships," a chorus by the girls was greatly appre'ciated. This was followed by further recitations by the Misses -Pat Wiltshire., Phylis Parata and Betty Butt. ; The Misses Frances Clay, June Bulcraig, and Dorothy Holden then recited in chorus "The Old Umbrella," a performance which was well received. One of the outstanding items of the progfamme then followed — a song I and chorus by the girls of the school led by Miss Daisy O'Connor. The title of the song was "Please Give Me Some Pennies, Sir," and the audien'ce, taking the singers at their ! word, showered 19s 9d upon them. I The chorus boys then gave a very j cleaf interpretation of "Fight For I the Right," which was followed by i further recitations by Lois Bailey. j Valmai Godsalve, Joyce Oxenham, j and Cecil White. A graceful and beauDfully executed Hawaiian dance by Miss Clara ' Stirling was exeeptionally well re- i ceived.
