GREY LYNN TEACHERS RETIRE
PRESENTATIONS MADE Presentations to teachers who had served the school well and who had now retired were made at the Grey Lynn School on Wednesday. In making the presentation of an nfternoon tea service to Miss W. Gillibrand, Mr. W. H. Newton, chairman of the School Committee, said she had been a teacher at the school for nearly 20 years. Miss E. M. Ashman, who had served as infant mistress at the school for eight and a-half years, was absent in Wellington, but her present, an electric tea kettle, was received on her behalf by Miss Gillibrand. The headmaster, Mr. J. M. Warn, spoke of the good work of the two teachers, and said their retirement was a loss to the school and education service.
Mr. J. S. Fletcher, M.P. for the district, wished the teachers and pupils the happiest of holidays. In the evening the committee and Miss Gillibrand’s old pupils entertained her to a social function at the school.
