Balsam, chairman of the committee, presiding. A fine evening brought all the district folk out, as well as visitors from outside.
The programme, which was a lengthy one, was well rendered by the children. Songs, recitations, dialogues and musical items, as wr:l as„ Beveral marches were given, showing careful training on the part of the teacher (Miss Brown). Several items had to be repeated. Eunice Flay's singing of "Little Baggy Breeches" was especially good, also little Gladys Pearce's recitation, "When Mother was a Little Girl." After the concert the chairman handed each pupil a progress prize. Special prizes were also given to Wallace
Flay and Violet Baker for the most popular boy and girl by vote of the school children; Lillian Hardwidge, progress prize from the teacher; and Allan Jackson, attendance certificate.
The chairman said there was also another presentation to make. The children felt they would like, to show a little of their love and esteem to their teacher, so he asked Lillian Hardwidge and Doris Spencer to make the presentation of a pair of silver vases and jewel box on behalf of the children. Miss Brown thanked j;he children very much for the presents, and she wished them all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, and also a real good time during their holidays. The chairman said he could not let the occasion pass without a word of praise to Miss Brown for the way in which ghe had trained the children." She had succeeded remarkably well in the face of many difficulties, as many of the thirty-eight pupils in her charge had not attended regularly on account of sicjeness. He then called for three cheers for Miss Brown, which were very heartily given. After supper, which was provided by the ladies of Mangorei in their usual bounteous manner, dancing commenced, Mr. TSs Brown making a most efficient M.C., and music being supplied by various local friends.
