A splendid programme of items was presented by the children, including a number of little plays. The most distinctive item was “ The Wedding of the Painted Doll,” in which the leading parts were taken by Betty Harris (parson), Frances Jamieson (bride) and Betty Wills (groomsman), with six of the elder children as bridesmaids. The costumes were very appropriate. After the items Mr. J. B. Nicholls, chairman of the school committee, congratulated the children and expressed the appreciation of residents to Mrs. Shirley and Misses Southee and/iMoore. who were responsible for training the children.
