Kitt. Miss Dean’s whistling solos and Mr Mac. Schultze’s mouth organ items were thoroughly appreciated and responded to encores. Miss Joan Cotterill’s recitations were listened to with interest and were very much applauded. The “Hula” by Messrs George Gray and Mac Schultze caused general amusement and encores. A dainty supper was served by the committee. The social programme eontinned with Miss Dean’s impersonating Graeie Fields, followed by another en joyable whistling solo. Two competitions were held.

Campbell for playing the accompaniments and to nil who helped make the function a success. The evening ended with the singing of the National Anthem.
