Chorland; children's essay competition, Standard 2, Betty Smith; Standard 3, Edna Ingram; Standard 4, Gerald Lyon; Standard 5, IJelen Sinel; Standard 6, T. Reader. During the interval the chairman of the committee, Mr. H. H. Flanagan, presented the prizes, and briefly expressed the thanks of. the school committee to all who had assisted to make the concert such a success. The programme submitted was of a very high standard and; greatly enjoyed by all present. The performers were members of the Tramway Entertainers, including the Tramway Orchestra, Stan Philpott (lightning sketch)) W, Irwin (comic Bong), Eila Liardet (step dance), R.
