FRANKLEY SCHOOL

END OF YEAR CONCERT. The spacious gymnasium of the Frankley Road school was packed to the doors by parents and friends on the occasion of the annual display by the pupils last night. A varied and enjoyable programme had been arranged by Miss A. I. McGill, under the supervision of the headmaster, Mr. A. V. Simms, and the manner in which little tots and senior scholars carried out their parts reflected great credit upon the careful peparation and painstaking coaching of Miss McGill. One item of outstanding merit was the flower dance, by junior girls; a dance, intricate and colorful, but splendidly executed. The blending of at certain points of the evolutions showed an artistic taste on the part of the designer. The first part closed with a gipsy dance by senior girls, faultlessly executed, and well deserving the rounds of applause it received. Mr. F. A. Lee, chairman of the school committee, presided, and the following programme was submitted Violin solo, Mr. R. Murphy; action songs, iby infants; physical drill by senior boys; Maori song by Margaret Momona and Mary Pomona; recitation, Harvey Taylor; songs, senior pupils; flower dance, junior girls; part song, senior girls; recitation, Mavis Old; song duo, Irene Old and Reggie Styles; goblins’ dream, senior girls; song trio, Kitty Lee, Jean Boswell and Mavis Old; gipsy dance, sen- girls. Songs were given iby Miss Lisrer. Mesdames Belcher and Thomas and Messrs. A. Wytkin, W. Eva and .1. Lovell. After the concert supper was provided by a committee of ladies.
