GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL.

THE BOARDING-HOUSE FUND. SALE OF WORK REALISES £290. The Coronation Hall presented a busy scene on Saturday afternoon, when a sale of work was conducted by the New Plymouth High School Old Girls’ Association. The function was one of a number which have been organised by the association in aid of the fund for the erection of a boarding-house at the school, and a great amount of work had been put into the preparation. A large variety of well-laden stalls was in evidence, and as the result of the patronage accorded the sale the sum of about £290 will be accumulated. In addition to the stalls there were a number of competitions which helped to swell the funds, and a comert given by school children added to the attractions of the afternoon. At rhe head of the organisation were Miss Douglas (president) and Miss E. Andrews (secretary), to whom a good deal of praise is due for their work in connection with the sale.
