Muggeridge) and several others. A bountiful repast in the shape of afternoon tea, with plentv of cakes and sandwiches (provided by the parents and ladies of the district) pleased the youngsters immensely, and they were very sorry when Arbor Day came to. an end. \J Gap year dance was held recently at Manutahi by the single ladies of the distt ict.
