“BUCHANAN” PRIZES
TE PAPAPA WINNERS The “Buchanan” prizes were presented to the Te Papapa School winners, Joan Sandford and Louis Durbin, this morning.
Tho prizes were instituted in 1922, when Mr. and Mrs. Robert Buchanan, of Onehunga, deposited with the Public Trustee the sum of £125 for each of the schools at Onehunga and Te Papapa, the income from this fund to provide an annual prize for the best, boy or girl in Standard VI. Last year Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan generously doubled their gift, so that now two prizes for each school are provided, one for boys and one for girls. This year each of the winners will receive a cheque for a little over £6. There is keen competition for the honour of winning the “Buchanan” prizes, and every member of the class is given a chance, as it is .the reward of grit and endeavour and not of natural cleverness.
