SCHOOL SOCIALS.

Trentham School. The scholars of Trentham School and their parents were entertained by the Home and School Association on Friday last in the Y.M.C.A., the room being- placed at their disposal by the kind courtesy of Mr. Chappell. The representative of the Education Board (Mr. P. Robertson) presented the prizes, and also the dux medal, which was won by Ashley King-, a well-known Trentham boy. (Congratulations, Ashley.) Several items were given by the scholars, one item of special note being- a solo dance. In presenting the awards for the year Mr. Robertson paid great tribute to the headmaster (Mr. Kennedy) who is leaving- the district, and expressed the hope that whoever succeeded him would carry on the good work Mr. Kennedy had commenced. Mr. Kennedy, in replying-, spoke highly of his teaching- staff, and of the committee, who were always eager and willing to assist in their various ways. The evening concluded with dancing". Upper Hutt School. The annual Christmas evening: by the Upper Hutt Home and School Association was held on Friday last. The male voice choir, assisted by the boys, rendered several Christmas carols. Miss June Rimrner entertained with two songs, and Johnny Walker recited. After supper, dancing- was indulg-ed in. At the conclusion the junior members of the choir presented their conductor (Mr. Joselyn) with a Christmas present in appreciation of his services to the boys. Messrs. Jackson and Keegan acted as M.C.'s and a very enjoyable evening was spent. The Upper Hutt School will be holding their Christmas dance tomorrow (Saturday) and a pleasant time may be expected.

We are informed that the dux of Upper Hutt School this year is Thelma Jacobsen. The "Weekly Review" desires to extend to her hearty congratulations. The "Weekly Review" wishes the scholars a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Father Christmas will not forget. BOWLING. Members of the Upper Hutt Bowling Club were engaged on Saturday last in a Pennant match with Victoria, on the latter club's green in Wellington, and were successful in winning three out of the four rinks (75 per cent.), which is a very excellent performance against such a strong- side. There is no doubt that Upper Hutt is very g-ood in this game. They have held several championships. Such stalwarts as Mumby, Brown, Dalton, Robertson, Davis, Guthrie and Greig are again in excellent form this season, and the "Weekly Review" are hoping that yet once again Upper Hutt will see several of the championships in this district. Following are the results of matches: Mudgway (skip), Upper Hutt, 20; Bolton (skip), Victoria, 14. Mumby (skip), Upper Hutt, won his watch, as also did Dalton (Upper Hutt). On the Upper Hutt rink Middleton (Victoria), 21, beat Weatherburn (Upper Hutt), 17. On Saturday next another series of matches will be played.
