RICCARTON H.S.

Final Day Of Carnival Tile Riccarton High School’s queen carnival has already raised £lOOO towards the price of a gymnasium, and there is still the carnival fete to come today. Mr A. J. Gainsford, the headmaster, said that the target for the gymnasium was £4OOO. which would qualify for a two-to-one Government subsidy The gymnasium was expected to cost at least £ 12.000. As well as the £ 1000 raised so far. the school had another £lOOO towards the gymnasium fund. Contestants in the queen carnival are the girl house captains—Marie Johns. of Bowen House. Sandra Galloway. of Deans House. Rosemary Piper, of Godley House, and Susan Swain, of Thomas House. So far they are about even, judged on the money raised by each house. The girl whose house raises the most money will be crowned queen of the carnival tomorrow evening after an afternoon of entertainment at the school A baby Show, pony rides, a skindiving display, gymnastics, and vintage cars are among the things planned for the afternoon. Already there have been tea parties, cake stalls, and bottle drives to raise money There have been four nights of entertainment this week - a talent quest, a mannequin parade, a teen-age dance and a magicians’ competition.
