Two competitions were won by Miss Harding and Don Ross, and Miss Keddell and Martin Garrity.

The Monte Carlo dance was won by Betty Burch and Martin Garrity. The chairman of the committee (Mr H. G. Carter) complimented the pupils on the splendid entertainment they had arranged. Mr Carter stated that the roll of the District High School this year was a record and there was every indication that the numbers would continue to increase. The results attained at the Greytown school from an examination point of view compared most favourably with other such institutions. One way that young people could help the nation in time of trouble was to devote all their energies to their studies, stated Mr Carter. If pupils wasted their time they were wasting the Government’s money. The war would not last for ever and it was of vital importance that young people should use every endeavour to fit themselves to take their part in the affairs of our country.

Miss Betty Shedden played the extras for the dancing. Mr S. Shedden, headmaster, also thanked the children, the social committee and all who had made the party so enjoyable. .He especially thanked Mrs H.
