PRIZES PRESENTED AT MAIN SCHOOL The Mayor of Lyttelton (Mr F. G. Briggs), who is chairman of the committee of the Lyttelton Main School, and the headmaster (Mr A. L.-Edward), both referred at the prize-giving yesterday morning to the need for additional classrooms at the school.

The pupils of one standard had been using a Sunday schoolroom, which was a considerable distance from the school, as a classroom they said. They appealed to Mr H. R. Laxe, JSf.P., to endeavour to ; have at least one classroom provided immediately. In reply, Mr Lake said he would transmit the request to the proper authority, and would see if something could be done to alleviate the position. The dux medal was presented to Brian Thompson and the ptoxime accessit to Adrienne Perkins. Ray Paulger was awarded the Mayor’s citizenship prize. Mr L. Smith’s prizes for gardening were won by Arthur Beckett and Robin Loader.
