VISIT TO EXHIBITION

BY PARTY OF COLLEGE PUPILS. ENJOYABLE TIME SPENT. : A very happy, but far from tired, i party of 278 pupils from the Wairarapa College returned last night from a day’s excursion to the Centennial Exhibition at Wellington. The scholars were in charge of the Principal. Mr G. G. Hancox, and 14 masters. The arrangements ran smoothly to schedule | and largely due to the co-operation of I the acting-stationmaster at Masterton. Mr Campbell, the arrangements made for transshipment to buses at the other end were flawcss. The assistance of the Exhibition authorities also largely contributed to the success of the visit. The behaviour of the pupils was splendid. and evoked very favourable comment from unexpected qaurters. One pupil was heard to remark “how could anyone play up when they had been treated so well by masters and the authorities alike?" The pupils were taken on escorted tours until 3 o’clock and from 3 o'clock to 5.30 o’clock were allowed time off to visit Play land, or where ever their fancies guided them. | The various pavilions thrilled them, but for popularity first place went to the Crazy House. A long and happy ! period was spent there by almost all of the pupils. The laughing sailor outside was also thoroughly appreciated. The Exhibtion provided one of the most happy functions of the school year. The following programme will show : that nothing was left to chance so far j as the party’s safety and well being I was concerned:— Dress, school uniform. Overcoats should be taken.
