The social and concert held on Friday evening was largely attended by children and parents, a very pleasant time being spent. Rev J.

A programme of splendid items by the children and adults was gone through,as follows: —Instrumental selection, M r and Masters Nicholson; “song, “Jingle Bells,” by 14 girls; “ Jing-a-ring,” eight little ones; song, “ Sweet and low,” Maud McKenzie ; “ It’s no joke to be a baby,” six little girls ; song and chorus, “ Catch the sunshine,” senior pupils ; “ “ The multiplication table,” Bertha Chambers; song, “ Under the sea,” 14 girls ; recitation, Mr 81.B 1 . Gay- Some of the items were redemanded, being of exceptional merit. After an interval, during which refreshments provided by the ladies were handed round, there was a reciting contest, in which Ruby Scott, Dorothy Hopkirk, C. McCormick, and F. Logan took part. All being very good, it i AVas decided to award each a prize. jwMrs McKenzie sang “The Holy 'City,” and another humorous recitation was given by Mr Gay.
