MACANDREW ROAD SCHOOL

FAREWELL TO SEVEN TEACHERS The staff of tho Macandrew Road School is this year-end being depleted by no fewer than seven teachers, who are tendering their resignations. Of these Miss Dorothy Groves and Miss M. Wills have completed their terms as probationers, Miss M. J. M‘Neur and Miss Amy A. Searle their probationary assistantships, and Mr L. M. Milne and Mr A. C. Baird their respective terms as relieving members of the staff. Miss Emma Grocott is leaving to be married. In order to afford an opportunity of bidding farewell to these, the teaching staff gathered at the Hydro Tea Rooms, St. Clair, on Tuesday afternoon to partake of afternoon tea. There Mrs M'Kenzie had prepared a most dainty repast, with special floral decorations, in the rooms looking out over the sea. During the afternoon Mr "John Bowie, head' master, expressed his own and fellow-teachers’ appreciation of tho good work performed during the year by the departing members of the staff, and presented to Miss Grocott a very beautiful crystal salad howl as a token of the staff’s appreciation and good wishes. His remarks were endorsed by Mr Arthur Robinson, first assistant. Miss Grocott briefly but very suitably replied.
