ANZAC DAY LESSON
Assembly at Hastings High School ADDRESS BY PRINCIPAL As usual the Hastings High School observed Anzac Day by a special assemblage of pupils in the school hall this morning. The principal, Mr W. A. G. Penlington, outlined the significance, of Anzae, and pointed out that though the pupils themselves had no personal remembrance of the war and consequently could not be expected to share fully in the feeling of those who do remember by actual experience, there were, nevertheless, important lessons which they ought to bear in mind.
Mr Penlington spoke briefly of the part that the New Zealanders played in the war and of the share that old boys of the Hastings High School and parents and others closely connected with the pupils contributed. He devoted a portion of his talk to reading parts of the service address given by the famous old Greek statesman, Pericles, over the graves of the Athenian soldiers who died in 431 11. C.
The ceremony concluded in a very impressive manner,'the pupils standing at attention while the head prefect, A. 13. Clark, read the names of the 16 old boys of the school who were killed in the war.
