GREYMOUTH EXAMINATION RESULTS Mr Colin Taylor, representative of the Royal Schools of Music, London, examined 45 candidates at Greymouth this week. In the results which follow the candidates passed in pianoforte playing, except where otherwise indicated. It is against the rules of this college to publish marks, but the names are in order of merit. Where two candidates obtained equal marks, the word “and” is used to bracket. With two exceptions all candidates were pupils of the Greymouth Convent of Mercy. Results:— Grade VII (Advanced). —Distinction: Ula Drummond (violin), Rene Morgan, Raymond Hill (violin).
