This school has had the honour of winning the trophy for the second year in succession.
The representatives of the society were received by Father Daly and the sister in charge. After the presentation ceremony Father Daly spoke in eulogistic terms of the value of the society's work in the school. As a compliment to the visitors the students rendered a number of concerted vocal items and gave a demonstration of their prowess m the art of verse-speaking. The secretary of the society conveyed warm thanks to Father Daly and members of the staff at the school for the practical interest and support shown in the society's work. Visits were also paid to the school at Makara, where a healthy Junior Red Cross Circle is carried on. A fine display of useful garments and toys, made by the students on behalf of the children at the Home of Compassion, was arrayed, the goods being handed over to the children recently.
