HARLEY’S Junior Club

Hello, Boys and Girls, — } Well, here we are once, again, and I guess you are air just.about bursting with excitement to know the results of our competitions, so I won’t keep you waiting any longer. Competition No. .1. My Pet and I. In a this competition there were ever'so many entries and it was so difficult to decide, which was the winning photo. There were two which were especially good and I just couldn’t decide between them, so they are first equal:— Miss Beverley Hughes, Collins street, Blaketown, and Master Owen Anderson, Blackball. These two members will each receive a prize and 20 marks. Congratulations, children. Competition No. 2. Illustrated Nursery Rhyme. First prize in this competition goes to: — Miss Elizabeth Cahill, Tainui street, Greymouth. Elizabeth drew an excellent picture j of “Humpty Dumpty,” and she will I receive a prize and ten marks. Congratulations, Elizabeth. All the entries for both competition were excellent, so everyone who sent in an entry will receive three marks. I would love to have given you all prizes, but we can’t all win, can we? Now, boys and girls, we have a fairly long competition this week, so I mustn’t take up, any more space with this letter. So, a big cheerio till next week. Lots of love.
