The bi-annual meeting of householders was held on Monday evening, Mr R. W. Guy presiding over a fair attendance. The balance-shee 1 : showed the finances of the school to be in a healthy state. In his report the chairman outlines activities of the committee during the last two years. He mentioned the fact that for the first i time Tokomaru had entered the Calf Club and at Levin had been successful in annexing the championship shield for a team of three calves, a very meritorious performance indeed. He thanked the retiring committee for the loyal support they had given him, and for the time and trouble they had given to matters connected with the school. A vote of thanks was moved by him to the head teacher and staff.
