Fitzroy School Plans to Celebrate Diamond Jubilee
Oldest existing educational establishment at N.P. Fitzroy school, New Plymouth, is to celebrate its diamond jubilee next month. Because of war preoccupations there will be no elaborate programme like that for the 50tb anniversary 10 years ago, but the committee felt it could not let the occasion pass without some recogmtion. Thus it has been decided to mark the event by a social evening and dance for adults and a children's ball. Fitzroy, established in 1882, was the first of the older New Plymouth schools to hold extensive golden jubilee celebrations about 10 years ago. It has had onlv four headmasters, the late Mr. J. G. L. Young, Mr. Oscar Johnson, Mr. G. A. Lyall and the present head, Mr. A. K. Robertshaw. ■ Next oldest among New Plymouth schools is Central, which was opened in 1884 to absorb pupils from suhsidisettSv^ private schools conducted respectively by . Miss Lydia Shaw and Mr. Earl. Even Fitzroy is not the oldest school in North Taranaki, however. Bell Block and several others are a good deal older.
