HUKERENUI SCHOOL SPORTS

Besides the official, sports programme there were also races for young and not-so-young, and games of rounders and cricket where even grandmothers took their runs manfully. Lunch and afternoon tea were served by the ladies in the shade of the trees by the river, and a most enjoyable day was completed by the presentation of book prizes to the children by the chairman® of the school committee, Mr A.
