From Our Own Correspondent.

On Monday evening tlie final meeting of tlie Jubilee committee was held when the balance sheet of the recent Jubilee celebrations was presented. Mr. J. W. Clevely presided over a good attendance. It was agreed that the celebrations had been an outstanding success and the day was one which will long be remembered in Bunnythorpe. The balance sheet showed a credit balance of £2O 3s lOd, the total receipts being £59 15s 6d and the expenditure £3O 11s Sd. General satisfaction of the position was expressed. It was decided to present the secretary with a memento as an expression of gratitude for his untiring efforts in connection with the Jubilee arrangements. It was decided that an enlarged framed photograph of the late Mr. G. H. Espiner be procured and hung in the school. A series of photographs in connection with the Jubilee activities is to be obtained and kept with Press and written records for future reference, and donations of suitable photographs were invited. A committee was appointed _to attend to these matters. A lengthy discussion took place as to the disposal of the remainder of the proceeds, it being suggested by the secretary that the money be put into a nucleus fund for a school swimming baths. It was mentioned that when the present school was built the idea of baths being erected later was in the air. Eventually it was decided that the money be devoted in this direction and Messrs J. Scheidt and E. O. Pascoo were appointed trustees' of the fund. For the purpose of setting up a committee to work with the trustees a public meeting is to be called at an early date. Votes of thanks were extended to the artists who assisted with tho concert programme, to the headmaster, the staff and the pupils for the part they had taken in the concert; to the ladies of the Hockey and Tennis Clubs, and tho ladles’ committee for their capable management of the luncheon, afternoon tea and supper, and Misses Scheidt for donating jubilee cake, also to all those who had so willingly and ably assisted to make the day the success it had been. Having fulfilled ita purpose, the committee was disbanded at tho conclusion of the meeting;
