He congratulated the girls who were leaving on the fact that they would take into their future lives the influence of the school, which would live with them always, and be a foundation on which they would build. They had received their instruction from people who had been trained to instruct them, and who were endowed with a natural capacity for the work. There niust be a leader in all things, and they had a wonderful leader in Miss Greig. A wise head chose her own staff, and the team-work of the college staff was shown In the result before them. Colonel Mitchell expressed the thanks of the board to all who had i helped the school financially, and with their personal interest in its welfare. The honours board was unveiled by Mr Hefford, president of the Parents Association. Miss Richmond and Mrs. E. Dawson also spoke, and Mrs. E. vv . Kane proposed the votes of thanks. A greeting was read from Miss M. McLean, former principal, who was unable to be present.

Those who were privileged to be present at the various functions must have been impressed by the spirit of gratitude, joyousness, and happiness which marked every occasion of this pleasant time of reunion, and by the high spiritual note struck at the assembly and pervading the whole of the celebrations. In organising the work of the school,” she continued, ’ ) we have tried not only to frame a s J n ‘ s to . suit the divergent needs of gills ot different capacities and disshnikir vocational destination, but to .iffoul facilities for every pupil, so that she mi'dit be equipped as fully as possible ot onlv to earn a living, if the need arises, ‘but to live a full and useful life ” Among those on the platform were: Lady Myers, Mrs. G.
