The Young Northlander

HELLO EVERYBODY, Bitl you give a sigh of relief when last week ended and holidays really began? I did for the end of the week, but as holidays are not on nsy calendar at present 1 could not rejoice that they had come. Last week was particularly busy, but we did have a short visit from Kupe. And as that both relieved me of some work and cheered us all up. it was a* nice bright spot in the midst of toil. And how did you gel on in the term exam? One excited Northlander while I was talking on the phone on Friday whispered in my ear as she went past: came second in my class." I hope all of you hud stories of good progress to tell, though of course we can’t ail be first or second in the class. The real test is, did you do better than you did last term? II the answer is yes, then the place does not matter. Cheerio till next week. KARANGA Princess Northland Tribe
