' .\liSs O‘Hara has been for live years on the teaching staff of the local school, and the undoubted popularity and sincere esteem which she has gained from children, parents and the general public was evidenced by the very large attendance and the enthusiasm which marked the occasion. Music for the dancing was supplied by the Adelphi Orchestra. and Messrs Rennie Howard and Chris Perkins were M’S.C. The euchre resulted: Men, Mr J. Mace; ladies, Mrs N. Cotter. i Mr Edward Harris, on behalf of the School Committee and various other organisations, paid a warm tribute to the guest of the evening.
