View Hill School
Sir, — A correction please of the report in today’s “The Press,” (December 15) concerning the View Hill School’s recent centennial celebrations. The report states that Mrs Marv Chapman was the first pupil to enrol, on that distant opening day, in December 1876. Two of her aunts were among the first pupils at the opening of the school, but her own enrolment date was January 30. 1897, She was the oldest former-pupil in attendance at
the recent festivities and shared the honours of cutting the centennial cake. — Yours, etc., MRS A. H. CHAPMAN. Darfield. December 15, 1976.
