Mr. ,1. W. Harding presided and the attendance numbered over twenty. 'The chairman said it had occurred ta him that they should make sure that there was enough enthusiasm- to carry the scheme to a successful issue. Some thought it was a little too early to raise a great deal of enthusiasm, but m view of the fact that the function was mentioned for May 13, he did not think so.

Mr. J. Campbell considered that May 13, the actual anniversary of the school, would not be a suitable date, owing to the races being held at Hawera on that, day. He moved that the function be held on. June 3. —Mrs. W. Hawkins seconded the motion. Mr. R. Syme considered that June 3 was too long alter tlie anniversary date, and he moved that .May 15 be selected.—Mrs. Paterson, .seconded the amendment, which, on being put, was carried.
