TAKAPUNA BAZAAR GRAMMAR SCHOOL EFFORT The bazaar in aid of the Assembly Hall and gymnasium building fund for the Takapuna Grammar School was opened at the school yesterday afternoon and is being continued this afternoon and evening. The attractions and goods are many. The women’s committee has been undertaking the work of securing goods for the stalls for some months, with the assistance of the pupils. Mrs. C. M. Littlejohn is the president of the committee. The function was opened by Professor A. P. W. Thomas, who wished every success to the organisers, who had worked hard in such a worthy cause. A school /lance band provided excellent music in the “ballroom.” In the “theatre” a play entitled “The Imaginary Invalid” was cleverly interpreted by pupils.
