The gymnasium was comvdete- ;! ly filled with boy?, parents, and friends. - Mr George Harper, sub-warden, P™- ) sided, and on the platform with him r were members of the Board of Gov- ! ernors, of the staff, and of the Old Boys' Association. lh-'Harper apologised for the absence . of the warden, Bishop Jdlius, ho • said, had mi.-sed very fpw such gathcr- > ings during the last thirty yearsTho acting-fieadmr'.stcr (Mr A. L. ! Flower), in reviewing the work ot tlw ; I past twelve months, after expressing ' his regret at tiie great loss the Collc#> h-ul suffered by the death, on the cvo !cf his retirement, of tho late headmaster. Mr G. E. Blanch, stated tinai. tho vear had been .-. troubled one for the "school. illnesses and epidemic '"-, had boon prevalent the whole time. iNo 'I fewer than three times in the first term '. I was the school practically closed, clueds , • through the vagaries of the Health l>o- - partment. There were in that term ; ! l:aiely eight weeks of unbrcken schooi. ■ The llandicap to school and examination work owing to illness throughout tho 'I vear had been severe, and as a result the examination record was not a specially bright one. "in the university ' examinations at the end of last year tho school was very successful. Stan' changes during the year had been few. In sjames the school had not had a very successful year. The Fifteen had worked hard, but 'had not been successful in any of the school matches. The • Eleven wore beaten by Boys' High i School after an uncertain game, but against Otago they gained a comfqrtabl:; •victory. Rowing had been carried on succftfssfullyj also the training of the cadets, wi.ule the shooting had • been i well organised. In athletic sports tho school : had done well. Two valuable, gifts had been made to the school ! during tho vear —the first by Dr. Man- - j ning, who had given £200 for an exI hibition to b'e known as the Ivan Man- | ning Exhibition, in memory of Ivan i Manning, who fell in the- war. Tho ! exhibition was to be awarded to a son !of a clcruvTiian. Tho other gift was a i sum of £oGQ from Dr. Barnett, of Dunodin, to be expended as a memorial to tho late Hal ph. Burnett, who fell in the war. Mr A. Boyle had presented a snccial prize for debating and speaking. ' The year had been iiotablo for two im- ; portant visit*--that oi tho Prince of Wales and General BirXwood. In conclusion, Mr Flower' expressed his 1 thanks for tho help ho had received from old boys, parents, and boys of the College. I Mr Harper said thofc ho had been connected with tho College "boy and man, ,, for CO years, and he folt it a great honour to be raised to the position of sub-warden, and to be asked to distribute tho prizes. After paying a ! tribute to tho lato headmaster, and to Mr Flower, Me Harper said that one I of the first- works the Board of Governors intended to carry out wns the en-' lnrgoment of tho chapel, in which it was proposed to have an alcove in which nil : tW memorial for old boys who fell in the war migut be placed.
